This tree root looks nothing at first glance, but if you look closely, you can find that it actually forms the appearance of a fairy-like Taoist. Although it is not as vivid as the sculpture, it is better than natural.
"Interesting." He Ruixiang took the tree root over and looked left and right. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"The more I look at him, the more he looks like an old Taoist priest."
"And if you look closely, it smells like flying in the clouds and riding on the mist, with an air of immortality."
Relatives and friends around me also like it more and more as they look at it. If it is carved from a piece of wood, it is nothing unusual. It can be bought everywhere. However, if it is so natural, I am afraid it will be difficult to find another one in the world.
The moment Yang Wei saw the tree root, she looked like she was watching a good show. However, after seeing it clearly, she couldn't help but look solemn, thinking where did Su Jing get such a top-quality tree root.
Shen Hong stared at the root of the tree for a while, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his body trembled slightly with excitement. He turned to look at Su Jing, a trace of regret quickly flashed in his expression. If he was not mistaken, the root should be small-leaf red sandalwood. The tree roots are probably the same as the rosewood from last time. If she had been more generous back then, maybe Su Jing would have even taken out this piece of tree root. Compared to this piece, the ones she bought before were all garbage.
"Ah Jing, I can't take away this tree root." He Ruixiang stared at the tree root for a long time, and his expression suddenly became cautious. He held the root of the tree in his hand very carefully, as if he was holding a treasure worth a thousand gold, for fear of damaging it. broken.
"Teacher, this is the child's wish. Just accept it. Don't you like it too?" Su Zhenyue said.
"Of course I like it, but it's too expensive." He Ruixiang shook his head.
"Expensive?" Su Zhenyue was stunned. It was obviously just a tree root. He didn't know where Ah Jing picked it up. It might be worth a few dollars, but it shouldn't be valuable, right? Ye Qin also looked surprised and looked at the roots of the tree curiously.
"Dad, if you like it, just accept it, and just give Ah Jing a gift in return." He Jingdong said.
"You brat, you can't afford to return this gift." He Ruixiang smiled.
"I can't afford to go back to a tree root?" He Jingdong looked unbelieving.
"Could this be..." He Ruixiang's eldest son and second daughter both saw a clue and stared at the roots of the tree, but they were obviously not experts. They guessed something, but they did not dare to conclude for fear of making a mistake.
"Lao Hong, come and take a look." He Ruixiang said to Shen Hong.
"Okay." Shen Hong couldn't wait for a long time. If it hadn't been a gift from his disciple, he would have wanted to go up and grab it. He walked up, his hands trembling slightly, took the root of the tree, and observed carefully, the more he looked, the more eyes grew. Bright.
"How much is this tree root worth?" He Ruixiang asked.
"This..." Shen Hong frowned and thought deeply for a moment, then glanced at Su Jing slightly, "I can't say for sure."
"Haha." He Ruixiang glanced at Shen Hong's face, smiled meaningfully, took the root and handed it to Su Jing, "A Jing, I have received your thoughts, but you should take this gift back."
"Okay." Su Jing didn't push around. He also understood He Ruixiang's character somewhat, and knew that He Ruixiang would definitely not accept it.
"Teacher He, is this tree root really that valuable?" Many people present expressed doubts. You must know that He Ruixiang has even accepted a gift of more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan. It would be fine if he returned a gift of the same value later. But this tree root said I can't afford it. Isn't it worth more than 200,000 yuan
"Ah Jing, why don't you all take a closer look?" He Ruixiang wanted to show off. Although he did not accept the gift, this gift was given to him, which represented his disciple's vision and filial piety, and he was quite proud of it. .
"Okay." Su Jing did not refuse, and stood the tree root up on the table, but only to let others come forward and look at it, not to touch it.
"Young man, how about you transfer this tree root to me? I'll pay 200,000."
"I'll pay 250,000."
"I'll pay three hundred thousand."
Among the guests present, in addition to relatives and teachers, there were also some friends of He Ruixiang's children. They were all businessmen. They were obviously interested in the tree root and wanted to spend money to buy it.
"Teacher He's birthday banquet is still going on. You think this is a vegetable market, how can it be so decent?" Shen Hong said with a righteous expression, and his heart was spinning with anxiety. He also wanted to discuss it with Su Jing privately later. , to buy this tree root, who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would appear on the way.
"No problem, just watch the show." He Ruixiang smiled and waved his hand.
"But... this..." Shen Hong couldn't find an excuse anymore. The real owner didn't mind, but he only cared about it. He suddenly walked quickly to the root of the tree and shouted, "I will pay five hundred thousand."
"..." Everyone in the audience was speechless for a while. Who just said it was inappropriate for people to think this was a vegetable market? At the same time, everyone was amazed. It seemed that the tree roots were not just as simple as 200,000, but actually as high as 500,000. He Jingdong was a little stunned. The tree roots he looked down upon were so expensive. As his father said, he couldn't afford to repay the favor.
"Mr. Su, could you please keep this root for now? I'll ask a professional treasure appraiser to appraise it before I make an offer." Among the merchants, a tall middle-aged man thought for a while before saying. He was obviously not willing to give up the tree roots, but he was not sure of the specific value. Now it has been paid out to half a million, which is not a small amount.
"Isn't this Mr. Shen the treasure appraiser of Wanbao Auction House?" Someone pointed at Shen Hong and said.
"I..." Shen Hong wanted to pull out the person who pointed out his identity and cut him into pieces. He had already seen that the root was absolutely valuable. The reason why he was vague at first was because he didn't want others to know. Buy it yourself. However, now that my identity is revealed, I can't be unprofessional, otherwise my reputation will be damaged.
"Okay, Lao Hong, don't think about picking up the slack. Do you think I will watch you take advantage of my disciple? Tell me honestly, how much is this tree root worth?" He Ruixiang smiled. Dao, obviously seeing through Shen Hong's deliberate concealment from the beginning.
"Okay." Shen Hong looked helpless, gave up the idea of picking up the leak, took a deep breath, and said, "First of all, this root is a small-leaf red sandalwood root. No matter what shape it is, its value is not small. Secondly, this root The old Taoist image of Xianfeng Daogu has a very good meaning, is very popular, and has great collection value. I am afraid that such a pure natural small-leaf red sandalwood tree root will never be found again in the world. It is the so-called rare commodity. I There is no way to estimate its specific value, but I can guarantee as a treasure appraiser that it is worth at least three million."
"Wow!" The whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone was stunned.
