Cuihua Pavilion.
Lin Yu spent an afternoon teaching Liu Siyun how to identify jade.
Liu Siyun had never heard of some of his experiences and methods before.
"Mr. Lin, I thought I knew a lot about jade, but compared to you, I'm far behind!" Liu Siyun said sincerely, her eyes sparkling.
Lin Yu humbly said, "What I taught you was only how to distinguish real jade from fake jade, but in reality, the most difficult jade to distinguish is that it comes from ancient or modern times!"
“Ancient and modern?” Liu Siyun was slightly taken aback, and said with a sigh, “Indeed, jade is relatively easy to age, especially ancient jade from before the Southern Dynasties. Even expert appraisers can easily be fooled!”
"Mr. Lin, do you have any good methods to distinguish between ancient jade and new jade?" Liu Siyun asked, blinking her eyes.
Lin Yu nodded, picked up a Southern Dynasty jade disc, and said calmly, "Jade is essentially just stone, but it surpasses its origin. It is the essence of the earth and can absorb the essence of the sun and moon! Some people who cultivate breathing techniques can resonate with the heavens and earth and feel the heartbeat of the jade!"
Liu Siyun looked surprised: "Jade has a heart?"
Lin Yu nodded. "Of course, all things in heaven and earth have a spirit! Sun Wukong was originally a stone monkey; this is not just a myth!"
"That's amazing?"
Liu Siyun hurriedly asked, "Mr. Lin, could you teach me the breathing technique?"
Lin Yu smiled slightly and said, "I can teach you, but whether you can learn it depends on yourself!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lin! Please teach me quickly!" Liu Siyun said excitedly.
Lin Yu nodded. "Okay, it's not that difficult. You have good aptitude, I think you should be able to learn it quickly!"
Then, the two walked to the prayer mats on the side and sat down facing each other.
"I'll teach you the first step: abdominal breathing!"
Lin Yu taught Liu Siyun a relatively simple breathing technique.
Unexpectedly, Liu Siyun had a high level of comprehension and quickly learned it. Before long, she entered a state of abdominal breathing.
Following Lin Yu's instructions, she closed her eyes and began to cultivate. After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes and exclaimed excitedly, "Mr. Lin, did I do it right just now? When I was breathing, I could feel my pores breathing too!"
Lin Yu looked somewhat surprised, then smiled and praised, "I must say, you have a real talent for learning; you're even faster than I was back then!"
"No way!" Liu Siyun blushed, embarrassed by his words.
Lin Yu said, "Now try touching the jade and see what you can feel."
Liu Siyun nodded, picked up a piece of jade, slowly closed her eyes, and after a moment, she couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, "Mr. Lin, I can feel a faint energy pulsating inside the jade!"
Lin Yu replied with a smile, "That's it. The pulsating energy is actually the movement formed after the jade absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, also called the jade heart. The older the jade, the stronger its fluctuations. If it is a newly mined jade, its energy is not active and it is often in a dormant state, so the movement will be very weak!"
Liu Siyun exclaimed in delight, "Then does that mean I can identify whether a piece of jade is ancient or not by feeling the movement of the jade heart, and even estimate its approximate age by sensing the strength of the movement?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "That's how it is!"
"That's wonderful! Mr. Lin, now I'm even more confident about tomorrow's battle!" Liu Siyun's face was beaming with excitement.
Lin Yu said, "Miss Liu, don't be too proud. Nothing in this world is absolute. Even I wouldn't dare say I have absolute certainty in the antique business. It's better to be cautious!"
Liu Siyun nodded and said, "Mr. Lin is too modest. With your skill, I don't believe anything can stump you! Besides, no matter how good Kameda's forgery skills are, can they compare to yours? Take the Ru ware from earlier, for example. If I hadn't known beforehand that the brush washer was made by you, I wouldn't have been able to tell that it was a fake!"
"Oh, by the way!" Liu Siyun suddenly had a thought and asked, "Mr. Lin, I have a question I'm very curious about! If you came across your Ru ware brush washer, could you tell if it was real or fake?"
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to ask such a question.
That's right, that stumped him!
He thought for a moment and said, "I can tell the difference between what's real and what's fake, but if you ask me to explain exactly where it's fake, I probably wouldn't be able to tell myself!"
Neither of them took it too seriously, since such a hypothesis seemed unlikely to be true.
Just as it was almost time to leave work, Lu Xueqing suddenly called and asked him to come to the company to pick her up after get off work, as she was going to visit her grandfather at the hospital later.
Lin Yu chatted with Liu Siyun for a few more minutes before leaving Cuihua Pavilion.
At this moment, in the gastroenterology ward.
After receiving the money, Zhang Xuewu and his wife rushed back to the hospital.
With this money, Mei Chao's surgery fees and the cost of buying a rectum will be covered!
The couple were stunned as soon as they arrived at the ward.
A rugged-looking man was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, eating a peeled apple.
Mei Chao looked at the couple with a pleading expression, "Sister..."
Mei Yun frowned. "Who are you?! Who told you to..."
Zhang Xuewu quickly pulled her aside and said with a smile, "Brother Hao, what brings you here?"
Guan Hao glanced at him. "Don't you know why I came? You should return my five million by now."
Zhang Xuewu's expression froze. "Brother Hao, didn't we agree on a week? Only two days have passed!"
“It’s true that it’s one week! But I said it’s one week to raise five million. Didn’t you two just earn two million? Hand it over to me first!” Guan Hao said calmly.
The couple were stunned.
It's true they made two million, but how did this guy know?
Guan Hao's lips curled up slightly. He was afraid that Zhang Xuewu would run away, so he had been sending people to keep an eye on the family. He was naturally well aware of the couple's sale of Ru ware.
Zhang Xuewu said with a troubled expression, "Brother Hao, this two million is what my wife was preparing for her brother's surgery. Could you please make an exception..."
Guan Hao interrupted him directly, "Don't give me that nonsense. What does her brother's surgery have to do with me? You have to give me these two million today!"
"Hey, who are you to talk to about my short temper?" Mei Yun put her hands on her hips and started cursing. "Didn't Zhang Chunyuan owe you money? Go ask him for it, why are you coming to us!"
Click!
A sharp knife was suddenly slammed into the table, and Mei Yun screamed as she hid behind Zhang Xuewu.
Guan Hao sneered and had his subordinate bring out a contract. "This is the agreement your husband signed with me. The son pays for the father's debts. Now that his father has suffered a stroke and is unable to take care of himself, he naturally has to pay for it!"
Mei Yun glared angrily, "Zhang Xuewu, are you crazy? You dare to sign such an agreement?"
Zhang Xuewu said with a bitter face, "Wife, I have no choice!"
