Chapter 49: White Jade Town
He quickly leaned forward and snapped his hand, the wooden board at the bottom was extremely fragile, with a click, the space expanded again.
"What...!" Taobao's eyes widened in shock as she realized that the wooden board she had pried off was not the bottom of the box. There was still another layer below!
"It's a hidden compartment! The box has a hidden compartment!" With that thought, Tao Baobao took a deep breath and quickly removed the wooden board of the hidden compartment.
Suddenly, a serene pale blue figure flashed into view!
The bottom of the box was covered with dust and debris, a paperweight lay quietly there, it was an ancient stationery used to press papers!
"This jade... is Tamura Jade!?"
White Jade Town Paper!!!!!
Taobao Taobao stared blankly, blinking his eyes, and bent down to pick up the paperweight from the box. He was speechless. There was actually a hidden compartment in the box, and if he hadn't taken it apart, who knows whose hands this paperweight would have ended up in!
Rubbing her slightly dizzy head, Tao Baobao put the paperweight aside and carefully checked the box again. Seeing that there was nothing else, she first swept the room clean.
Afraid of arousing suspicion, he divided the broken wood into several plastic bags. One bag was still in the trash can at the door, one was carried and thrown into a garbage bin on the street, and the last one was directly thrown into the cleaning vehicle of a passing sanitation worker.
After returning home, I locked the door and held the paperweight in my palm with an excited heart.
"Too beautiful!" In her previous life, she often strolled through jade shops with Wu and the others, so she was quite familiar with this kind of thing, at least she could call out its name.
This is a white jade seal, with smooth texture and a auspicious animal carved on the front. The knife work is natural and flowing, vivid and lovely, with a natural color. On the back is engraved an ancient poem.
Taobao Taobao rubbed the tip of his finger on the paperweight and said, "Hmm, it's very moist. Judging from the glaze, it should be an old piece, not a new work."
However, Tao Baobao's knowledge is limited after all, and he still can't figure out what era the paperweight belongs to.
"Now I've made some money, where should I sell it?"
"It's better to give Liu Jun a call, just let him ask the expert to identify what dynasty it is." After some thought, Tao Baobao took out her mobile phone and flipped through the contacts, finding the number Liu Jun had given her earlier, and dialed it.
"Hello, Teacher Liu, I'm Tao Baobao."
"Oh, hello, why did you suddenly think of calling me today?" Liu Jun had always admired Tao Baobao.
"I've just received a new paperweight, a white jade carved Rui beast paperweight, and it's perfect in every way. I'd like to ask if you're interested?"
"Huh? Received?" Liu Jun's voice was tinged with puzzlement: "Can I take a look?"
"Of course." Simply said a few words about the meeting place. Tao Baobao wrapped the paperweight in a clean towel and went out to take a taxi, heading straight for the destination.
They arrived at a teahouse, and Tao Baobao carefully took out a paperweight and handed it to Liu Jun.
Liu Jun's eyes lit up: "Good stuff, I thought it was just ordinary Xin Gong Zhen paper."
"What era is this from?" Tao Bao asked.
He took it in his hand and examined the poem on it carefully. Liu Jun nodded slightly: "No need to look at the craftsmanship, the jade material can already show its age, it's from the Song Dynasty, no mistake." He repeatedly stroked the paperweight with his hand, reluctant to let go: "It's really good, now in the market, most of the old jade pieces are pendants and decorations, this kind of niche category is almost impossible to find, hmm, really good."
Tao Bao saw that he liked it and politely said: "I'll send it to you."
Of course, I didn't plan to really send it to him. Even if Tao Bao had this heart, logically speaking, Liu Jun probably wouldn't want it either.
