It was almost half past four when Li Mo returned to the courtyard. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I ran towards the kitchen. There were two aunts preparing ingredients for dinner.
"Auntie, do you have anything to eat?"
"There's leftover rice for lunch, and there's pork rib soup for Miss Sirui. How about I fry you some eggs, some fried rice, and some vegetables? It'll be quick."
"Just soak the spareribs in soup with rice."
"Okay, then you go to the living room and rest first. We'll send it over in a few minutes."
"Thank you, aunt."
Li Mo returned to the living room, where his grandfather and master Yanagawa Kei were playing chess. His father Li Zhongsheng also came back for the festival, and he stood aside and watched. He walked over and took a look, and couldn't help but say: "Master, your level is unreal. Grandpa can't even beat me, how can he fight with you in this situation? You are too serious."
Yanagawa Kei raised his head and glanced at him, a bit dumbfounded. This child spoke too directly and did not save any face for the elderly.
"Hahaha, I lost this game." Shi Lao laughed first, put down the chess piece in his hand and said, "Xiao Mo always said that he was bad at chess, and he has never beaten your master since he was a child. Later. When we started, we were all beaten by him. Today I came up with the idea that if you hadn't taken care of my old bones, I would have given up a long time ago."
"Shi Lao, don't listen to Xiao Mo's nonsense, this kid is almost out of the universe right now." Yanagawa Kei said modestly.
"Hahaha, I'm very happy today. Even the old leader called and praised Xiao Mo for several minutes. I still have some Dahongpao stock over there. Xiao Mo is going to make a pot of tea. Zhongsheng, Chuanqing, you all sit down. "
Just as Li Mo started making tea, his aunt brought a large bowl of pork rib soup and rice and two plates of delicious side dishes.
"You haven't had lunch yet?"
"I'm not really hungry after eating the bread and coffee over there. But I still ate some at least. The five people from the island country are probably hungry from the front to back. Grandpa, how is your old leader's health lately?"
"After all, you are already in your eighties. You are suffering from old age, but you are still in good spirits. A few days ago, I sent you a hundred-year-old ginseng, and he praised you so much that you are unique in the world. Speaking of century-old wild ginseng, , you still have eleven sticks in your hand. A few days ago, Mr. Wu said that he would give you four more sticks and give them to you when they are brewed. If there are so many, how about taking out a few more sticks? "
"Okay, grandpa, you can figure it out. Although this thing is rare, I don't have time to look for it. As long as I spend some time, I can still find some more in the Changbai Mountains, and there are more than one place rich in wild life."
Li Mo understood that this was because his grandfather wanted to pave the way for him. This incident directly caused a big problem for the Wang family in Jinmen. The second generation disciple of the Wang family who was 100% sure of being in power ended up being dragged down by his unscrupulous descendants.
One step behind, every step behind.
Yanagawa Kei looked at what his apprentice was wearing, and then looked at the valuable antiques he was carrying, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "You used to wear ordinary clothes, and I really don't feel that you have changed much. Today Looking at you again, you have completely transformed from the inside out. It's good like this. We don't bully others, but we can't be bullied by others."
"Master, I have a lot of treasures in my underground treasure house. You can choose a few to wear at any time. Don't tell me, wearing this thing on your body will make your whole body feel different."
Li Mo showed off the Qing palace gold and silver five-claw dragon pattern ivory rings on his left and right thumbs, and the golden nanmu bracelet on his right wrist.
"I'll forget it. Wearing these makes people jealous."
Li Mo poured them all a cup of Dahongpao, then picked up the pork rib soup and rice to eat.
"Dad, where are Sirui and the others?"
"Your mother, mistress, Yingying, and grandma are all walking in the alley with Sirui. After this matter is over, you will stay in Kyoto. Sirui is due in mid-October." Li Zhongsheng glared at him. Just take a look and go out for a run every day. You can still find all the treasures in the world.
"I also want to take a good rest for half a year. Besides, while Master and Master are in Kyoto, I want to officially take Yang Yang under my sect and become the 30th generation disciple of our lineage. Master, what do you think?"
"That child Yang Yang is indeed talented. Even if he is gifted in a certain area, he deserves to be nurtured. But Xiao Mo, isn't the status of this 30th generation disciple a bit high?"
"There must be someone who can take care of other disciples in the future. Yangyang is a girl. She cannot be trained like a boy in the later training. She will not be able to practice the three major skills of our sect. So if Sirui gives birth to a boy, Baby, I will train you. If it is a girl, I will still accept other male disciples. This may be one of the reasons why the patriarch decided to pass on male rather than female. It is mainly because of the third unique skill of appraising bronze. The strength requirements are high.”
Yanagawa Kei nodded. Li Mo had thought carefully, so there would be no problem with his arrangement.
"Xiao Mo, you're back, why are you so hungry?"
Shiyi, Sirui and the others came back from a walk. When they saw Li Mo eating soup and rice, they couldn't help but ask with emotion.
"Are you not hungry? He was banging tables and kicking chairs with the island country delegation over at Zhongnanhai. He was also pointing at people's noses and scolding them bloody. It's strange that he's not hungry after spending so much. "
Shi Lao said leisurely while drinking tea.
"Grandpa, that's a strategy." Li Mo quickly stood up and asked Sirui to sit down, "Grandpa, this news spread too fast!"
"Okay, you got the advantage and behaved well. Tell us how many national treasures you got back from today's negotiations."
The huge living room was suddenly filled with people. This time, Li Mo's process of raising the treasure was very loud, and China became the focus of the entire world. Of course, the island nation has also become the focus, but it has become the focus of attention.
"In terms of major categories, a total of 13 top national treasures and 91,000 pieces of porcelain of various types were brought back this time. The reason why the term major category is used is because the national treasure Qibao Tai Stone Carvings of the Tang Dynasty is actually another Contains 21 statues of various figures."
"In his later years, Wu Zetian built a Qibao Platform at Guangzhai Temple in Chang'an. There were many exquisite Buddha statues inlaid on the platform. These Buddha statues were later moved to Baoqing Temple with the temple, including the eleven-sided Avalokitesvara niche, Amitabha Tathagata, Maitreya Tathagata, etc. There are three Buddhist niches in the style of Zhongzun. There are 32 pieces in total. However, due to various reasons, these statues were gradually lost overseas. There are 21 pieces in the island country, 4 pieces in the United States, and only 7 pieces are left in our country."
"The Qibaotai stone carvings represent the pinnacle of stone carving skills and the highest artistic achievement in the history of our country, so I replaced them all."
Li Mo picked up the Dahongpao tea and took a sip. It was a bit cold and the taste was much weaker.
Everyone in the room nodded. Although they didn't understand, they felt that the twenty-one stone carvings were very remarkable from Li Mo's words.
"I will select a few more top national treasures to tell you. Everyone is familiar with porcelain. This time, in addition to 91,000 ordinary porcelains, I also exchanged a rare treasure-level porcelain from the island country, called Yao Transformed into a tea bowl for the Tenmoku."
Yanagawa Kei suddenly looked shocked.
"Dad, what's this expression? Are you scared?" Liu Yingying shook Comrade Liu's arm and saw that he was still a little dazed.
Li Mo smiled and said: "The historical antique community uses the term "universe in a bowl" to describe that piece of porcelain, because they think the magical obsidian-changing pattern inside is mysterious and unpredictable."
"The patterns on this bowl caused by natural kiln changes are like being on the seaside at night and seeing the dazzling starry sky. There are thousands of mysteries hidden in the starry sky, just like the unknowable vast universe."
"The reason why this bowl is said to be a rare treasure is because if the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl is placed in the dark, its flare will shine with a slightly eerie light, and the colors will change, which is unpredictable. Although this tea bowl The diameter is only 12 centimeters, but it can make viewers think of the universe and the starry sky."
"Currently, there are only three and a half pieces left in the world. There are three intact ones in the island country, and there are only half of the damaged Yaobian Tianmu tea bowls in our country, so I replaced one this time."
"Xiao Mo, what you said about that piece of porcelain is so beautiful!"
Liu Yingying felt relaxed and happy when she heard it. She had never seen the real thing, but just listening to Li Mo's description had endless reverie in her mind.
Everyone else had similar expressions. No wonder Li Mo wanted to exchange the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl. Even describing it as a rare treasure was a bit unworthy of its magic.
Li Mo drank Dahongpao tea leisurely, and waited until everyone came to their senses before putting down the tea cup and continuing: "Next, I will tell you about the largest and heaviest national treasure in history, called Tang Honglu Well Carving Stone. . It is a camel-shaped stone weighing more than nine tons and more than ten cubic meters each. It has a history of more than 1,300 years."
