Chapter 10 Senior Brother

Professor Zhang didn't want to ask more about Zhou Tian's family background on such occasions. Everyone around him came to greet Liu Shun, and wanted to inquire about Zhou Tian's situation.

Seeing this, Professor Zhang made a fuss and continued to take Zhou Tian to see the things in the display cabinet.

After walking for most of the time, Zhou Tian was a little disappointed with the things in the display cabinet. Although several calligraphy and paintings looked like a hint of glow, the halo was too light and he lost interest.

Of course, except for the bronze mirror brought by Lord Buddha.

"Huh? What is this?" Zhou Tian came to a display cabinet, and there was a string of Buddhist beads inside. The round phoenix eyes were round and purple-red. The halos on it almost formed a substance, covering the Buddhist beads, like objects in a fairyland.

"Interested in this?" Master Buddha followed and asked.

"Professor Zhang, tell you the truth. After looking around, this one looks comfortable and pleasing to the eye!" Zhou Tian said.

Professor Zhang walked up and said, "Good thing! This patina cannot form such a moist patina without a few dozen or hundreds of years of playing with it!"

Zhou Tian moved away from Professor Zhang. When he turned his head, he saw an old man walking in at the door. Zhou Tian knew this person again.

No one noticed the old man walking in from the door, but Zhou Tian looked at him and he noticed it immediately. Then he was stunned, then he was happy, stretched out his hands and walked towards Zhou Tian.

"Young man! What a coincidence! I looked back that day and I couldn't find you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here!" The old man said with a smile, holding Zhou Tian's hand.

This old man is nothing else, but Zhou Tian happened to meet the old man who was stuck on the road that day by the date pit.

The old man's voice naturally attracted the attention of Professor Zhang and Liu Shun, and they looked back.

"Old Liao!" The two of them shouted out almost at the same time.

"Oh! You two are here too!" Liao Jiang said with a smile, but his hand still did not let go of Zhou Tian.

"Old Liao, do you know my apprentice?" Liu Shun asked with a smile.

"Your apprentice is obviously my apprentice!" Professor Zhang said immediately.

"Haha!" Liao Jiang smiled, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! It turns out that there is still this kind of origin! OK!"

After saying that, he told the two of them about what happened that day, "If it weren't for your little apprentice, I wouldn't be able to have tea and chat with you in the future!"

"There is this?" Liu Shun also felt quite coincidental when he heard this, "Zhou Tian, ​​this is Liao Jiang, Mr. Liao! A famous antique appraiser in China! You kid are so lucky. You saved someone casually on the road and met this old baby!"

"That's right, Zhou Tian, ​​in addition to learning from me, you should also ask Mr. Liao's experience and knowledge!" Professor Zhang also said.

"Haha, you guys!" Liao Jiang laughed again, "Zhou Tian, ​​your name is Zhou Tian? Good name!"

"Thank you, Mr. Liao. According to the words of the two teachers, I am just a good guy. If possible, I will definitely ask you more questions!" Zhou Tian said modestly.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say! I'll tell you two old guys, why did you pick up such a good apprentice?" Liao Jiang was in a great mood and joked with them.

"You don't want to say it!" Professor Zhang said, "This child's eyesight is that God can give you food. If you don't believe it, please ask Maitreya Buddha!"

"That's not my keen eye to recognize the beads?" Liu Shun was a little proud. It was not difficult to accept the apprentice, but the difficulty was to receive a good apprentice.

"Oh? Good eyesight?" Old Liao looked at Zhou Tian, ​​"Then come here today, come and listen to me. Which of the things in this room can attract attention?"

Although Zhou Tian had endured humiliation for many years and has become extremely rich again, his good education in his early years still made him very gentle and polite in front of his elders.

"With three teachers here, I can't speak!" Zhou Tian said modestly.

"If you say it, just say, Mr. Liao, you don't know. This child just said that he felt comfortable, and it shocked me and Old Man Zhang!" said Professor Zhang.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's talk, it doesn't matter if you say it wrong!" When Mr. Liao heard this, he became more energetic.

"Then I'm talking nonsense!" Zhou Tian had no choice but to say, and turned around and looked around. "In addition to the bronze mirror brought by the teacher, I only looked at those calligraphy and paintings very comfortable, and then," he turned around and pointed to the string of Buddhist beads behind the people, "This is it, I feel comfortable all over!"

Old Liao's face became serious. As a well-known antique appraiser in China, he could see through which ones were genuine and which ones were fake in this room at a glance. Unexpectedly, Zhou Tian, ​​a young man who claimed to be a braid, pointed out all the authentic products. This is not just a matter of good eyesight. As Professor Zhang said, God is rewarding food. This talent is rare!

"Why are these Buddhist beads better?" asked Mr. Liao.

"I just saw the patina on it is gentle and moist, and the phoenix eyes are round. I don't know how many years of playing and incense offerings have been spent. It just makes people calm down just by looking at it! So I said I feel comfortable all over." Zhou Tian slowly expressed his feelings.

"Two old guys, you really found the treasure!" Old Liao said with wide eyes, "This talent is really rare! It is rare to see!"

"Father!" Liao Yigang came over at some point, "I'm ready there. Should I take my two uncles over and sit and chat?"

"Okay! Yi Gang, you came just right. I told you that this is Zhou Tian, ​​the one I asked you to find everywhere that day who saved me!"

"Really?" Liao Yigang looked at Zhou Tian unexpectedly, then bowed slightly to him, "Mr. Zhou, I really thanked you very much that day. If it weren't for you, my father would be very dangerous. I will never thank you for your kindness. If there is any place to help in the future, Liao will have no choice but to do so!"

This promise is much more valuable than how much money it takes. The people who heard it were shocked and couldn't help but think of the scene just now, and they all regret Zhou Tian's marital status, otherwise...

"Don't be polite, don't be polite, Mr. Liao! Everyone will reach out to see you!" Zhou Tian waved his hand quickly.

"What a gentleman!" Liu Shun said, "This is my apprentice. You don't know, you will be your junior brother in the future! Do you, the senior brother, express your expression?"

"Junior brother?" Liao Yigang was stunned for a moment, and turned to surprise, "So, Master Buddha, are you finally willing to accept me?"

Liao Jiang didn't treat his son like others, "How do you say it? Why do you want to call him Buddha?"

"Yes, master! Do whatever you say, junior brother, you can accompany you first, I'll go!" Liao Yigang left excitedly.

In the early years, his father Liao Jiang asked him to become Liu Shun as his teacher, but Liu Shun had a strange problem. He was not interested in him, and no one introduced him to him.

Even if Liao Yigang has a good talent and has a father like Liao Jiang, who is a famous antique appraiser, teaches by example, if you really enter this industry, you must have a master from this industry lead you into the door.

And Lord Buddha Liu Shun is the leader in the antique industry. Whether it is an official appraiser like Liao Jiang or a professor with a knowledgeable knowledge like Professor Zhang, he is not a real insider.

The industry emphasizes inheritance. Liu Shun’s ancestors all worked in this industry. In the antique industry, there are four masters, Liu, Li, Tao, and Song, and the Liu family ranks first.

So, when Liao Yigang heard that Liu Shun had accepted him, he was of course happy.

Liao Jiang took the three of them to the place that Liao Yigang prepared, where tea and incense were prepared, and several of them sat down to drink tea and chat.

Zhou Tian listened to what they said, some understood and some didn't, but he was listening patiently.

Liu Shun was making tea when he went to Wenbaozhai these two days. He saw it several times. Today, because he is the youngest, he took the initiative to take on the job of making tea.

Although he was a little clumsy, none of the three old men blamed him, but patiently chatted while guiding him on how to make tea.

After spending a lot of time making tea, Zhou Tian had already made this tea brewing procedure look decent.

When Liao Jiang saw this, he couldn't help but nodded in his heart.

Liao Yigang walked in, holding a box in his hand and handed it to Zhou Tian, ​​"Junior brother, this is the gift that senior brother gave you today, don't dislike it!"

Zhou Tian quickly took it over and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Liao Yigang took out another box and handed it to Liu Shun with both hands, "Master, I am preparing for it in a hurry today. I will definitely give a good teacher-apprenticeship another day. Please accept this first!"

Liu Shun nodded, took it, opened the box and took a look, "Oh Zhou Tian, ​​come and have a look!"

Liao Yigang didn't know what they praised Zhou Tian for his good eyesight before, so he looked at Zhou Tian curiously and took the box over.

The box was filled with the string of Buddhist beads, "Teacher, do you still need to see this? Good thing!"

"Haha! This is a great item that we took out this year!" Liao Jiang said with a smile.

Professor Zhang was also a little excited, so he quickly took it over, took out the magnifying glass in his pocket and looked carefully.

"Don't you look at what your senior brother gave you?" Liao Jiang asked Zhou Tian with a smile.

Zhou Tian quickly opened the box in his hand.

In the box is a jade gourd that is only the size of a thumb. The emerald green color is crystal clear, and the halo emitted on it surprised Zhou Tian. This is the most intense halo that I have seen in the past few days. In addition, there is a hint of inconspicuous purple in the halo, which surrounds the jade gourd, making it very lively.

What's going on with this purple?

The jade gourd is simple and elegant in shape, round and in heaven, with no trace of carvings visible. There is a curved vine hanging next to the dragon head, which is simply too beautiful.

"Senior Brother, your gift is too expensive!" Zhou Tian said quickly.

"Let me see!" Liu Shun took it over, and he knew it was a good thing as soon as he started, but even he couldn't tell the origin. "Old Zhang, you look at this first!"

Liao Jiang knew that his son had many good goods. He had seen this jade gourd today, but he didn't see it. He didn't expect that his son was really willing to give it to Liu Shun today. He not only gave the Buddhist beads obtained from the monks, but also gave the jade gourd to Zhou Tian.

But he didn't think it was too much, but he felt that his son was very good at being a human being.

Professor Zhang's attention turned from the Buddhist beads to the jade gourd. After looking at it for a while, he shook his head, "Old Liao, I am really stupid. Tell me about it!"

Liao Jiang took the jade gourd and returned it to Zhou Tian directly, "Your senior brother's wishes, please take it first!"

He turned his head and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. There are no ten thousand or eight thousand objects in my hand. The only one, whether it is texture or carving," he shook his head, "I can't see who comes from, when and where!"

"You can't even see it?" Liu Shun and Professor Zhang were both surprised.

Zhou Tian couldn't put it down and fiddled with the gourd. There was a small round hole in the dragon head vine. When he went back, he could hang it around his neck.

"Junior brother likes it!" Liao Yigang also saw what Zhou Tian liked and said.

"Thank you, senior brother, I like it very much. This gourd looks like a good thing! But I don't have any valuable things to give to senior brother!" Zhou Tian said quickly.

"You don't have to be polite. I'll be under the teacher's school in the future. I'll say the same thing. If you need any help, please tell your senior brother!"
