Chapter 131 Tianhuang Stone



Liu Yihang naturally called Xiang Tianhong to inform him about the Twelve Flower Goddess Cups, since Xiang Tianhong was the one who took him there, and it wouldn't be right not to say anything.

Xiang Tianhong returned to the shop and was cleaning up her day's catch when she was suddenly shocked. Old Master Xiang, who was standing next to her, was also stunned and couldn't believe it.

Over the years, he has seen a few Flower Goddess Cups, but even museums can't put together a complete set, let alone private collections.

So Xiang Tianhong thought Liu Yihang was teasing him.

As a result, Master Li directly answered the phone and confirmed that the matter was true, as he had personally verified its authenticity.

It is a cup from the Twelve Flower Goddesses from the Kangxi era.

Grandpa Xiang couldn't sit still any longer and said he wanted to come and admire it right away, he couldn't wait even a minute longer.

As a grandson, Xiang Tianhong had to fulfill his grandfather's wishes, and the two immediately prepared to take a taxi there.

I ran into Yuan Tiangang, who was there to have his treasure appraised, as soon as I stepped out.

Without further ado, the two got into Yuan Tiangang's car and headed to Liu Yihang's house.

Liu Yihang simply had his parents stop their evening business to focus on entertaining guests. Last time it was just Master Li and Xiang Yizhai, but this time Chen Yiping was also there.

He planned to cook several dishes, as it was a rare occasion for everyone to get together.

Liu Xiangdong and Lin Guihua are now very cooperative with their son's affairs.

When Lin Guihua heard that the potted plants her son had bought contained priceless treasures, she was overjoyed.

What does it matter if business is suspended for a day? My son's affairs are the most important.

Liu Yihang set up a small exhibition in the store, showing everyone some of his current collection of fine items.

Master Li had not yet seen the earliest painting depicting the spring and the wind.

I've seen the Guanyin statue brought back from Yunnan before.

The Twelve Flower Goddess Cups I just received.

There's also the chicken cup.

Liu Yihang was indeed a little embarrassed to talk about the origin of the chicken cup, so he could only say that he had acquired the cup by chance before, and that it looked a bit like a chicken cup. He took it out to ask Old Li to take a look.

Master Li was so shocked that he stood up abruptly. The chicken cup? Was it the chicken cup he was thinking of?

He quickly asked Liu Yihang to bring it over so he could take a look.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the real treasure was right there – the famous Chicken Cup.

Exquisite and priceless.

You should know that he had quite a few private collections in his life, but none of them could compare to the value of this chicken cup.

Talented people emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.

These young people these days are amazing; they can throw around so many good things, making this old man feel ashamed.

Chen Yiping didn't like these things; he watched them with an appreciative attitude, but found them quite interesting.

When Xiang Tianhong and Grandpa Xiang arrived, they were so captivated by the chicken cup and the twelve flower goddess cups that they couldn't move.

They even forgot to greet each other, and the father and son each held a cup and examined it.

This made Liu Yihang laugh; the grandfather and grandson were exactly alike.

Seeing that they had all found treasures, Yuan Tiangang said angrily, "Xiang boy, Liu boy, why didn't you call me, Old Yuan, when you went to hunt down old houses this afternoon?"

He pretended to be stupid.

Liu Yihang made a hasty escape to urinate.

While everyone admired the treasure, Liu Xiangdong and Liu Yihang went to the kitchen to cook.

A table full of delicious food was prepared.

We've finished enjoying this part as well.

I also took the opportunity to examine the rosewood stool he brought back that afternoon.

Master Li personally commented: "Young Liu has a good eye; this is indeed genuine Hainan Huanghuali."

Liu Yihang has only been a student in his major for a short time, yet he managed to find this Hainan rosewood stool on his own, which shows that he put his heart into it. I believe that given time, he will definitely become an excellent expert in cultural relic appraisal and protection.

The Twelve Flower Goddess Cups were lucky; they came to us on their own. This one doesn't count.

This wasn't the first time everyone had eaten at Liu Yihang's house, and the guests and hosts all enjoyed themselves.

After admiring Liu Yihang's collection, Xiang Tianhong also took out the items she had found that day for her appreciation.

He has cleaned it up and restored the treasure to its former glory.

After a hearty meal, Yuan Tiangang remembered that he was originally supposed to have his artifact appraised.

I forgot all about it after being distracted like that.

He quickly went to the car and grabbed a bag.

It looks quite heavy.

Yuan Tiangang emptied the contents of the bag and placed them on the table.

Then a large yellow rock appeared before everyone's eyes.

"What is this? Tianhuang stone?" Xiang Tianhong asked after taking a look.

Yuan Tiangang even told Tianhong this, thinking to himself that this time he had finally bought a real one.

"I felt it was Tianhuang stone. At the time, I saw a young man in the antique street, pulling people around and saying that his grandfather was sick and he wanted to sell his treasure to pay for his treatment."

She cried her eyes out.

I couldn't bear to do it, so I let him open his backpack and take a look. Good heavens, when I saw it, wasn't this a Tianhuang stone? And such a big piece at that.

"Gold is easy to obtain, but Tianhuang stone is hard to find, so I simply bought it for him." Yuan Tiangang recounted the origin of the stone with considerable pride.

Liu Yihang looked at it carefully and had an answer in his mind.

Xiang Tianhong leaned closer to examine it.

"How much?" Xiang Yizhai asked calmly.

Yuan Tiangang held up the number two.

"Twenty thousand yuan." If this big rock is really a Tianhuang stone, he'll make a fortune.

One tael of Tianhuang stone weighs three taels of gold. This piece of Tianhuang stone must be worth a lot!

Master Li shook his head and smiled: "Little Yuan, I suggest you learn properly before you make a move. Your luck is just too bad."

Nine times out of ten it's fake, yet they still do it with such enthusiasm. I really don't know where they get the courage.

Xiang Yizhai smiled wryly. If Yuan Tiangang weren't the son of his old friend, he really wouldn't want to bother with him.

The half-empty pot made a clanging sound; Liu Yihang was far better than him.

"You've been fooled again!" Xiang Yizhai saw that Liu Yihang looked like he knew everything and wanted to test his current level, so he said, "Little Liu, tell him what the problem is with this stone. Just say it, it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong."

Yuan Tiangang awkwardly scratched his head. He thought the boy who sold him the stone looked so eager that it might be genuine, so he bought it. But actually, he didn't know much about Tianhuang stone.

"Then I'll just say a few words? Please don't mind if I don't say anything good."

Liu Yihang was not intimidated and immediately pointed to the Tianhuang stone and said, "This stone is not a real Tianhuang stone. It is made by grinding other types of Shoushan stone into a natural shape and then using chemical dyes to treat the skin, thus making it look like Tianhuang."

This type of Tianhuang stone is generally brightly colored and has a smooth texture, making it difficult for the average person to distinguish. However, it still differs significantly from genuine Tianhuang stone.

After Liu Yihang finished speaking, Xiang Yizhai and Master Li's eyes lit up. They hadn't expected that Liu Yihang could be so accurate, and that his thoughts were the same as theirs.

This kid is a natural talent.

"Xiao Liu is right, that's the situation. You've been fooled again!" Xiang Yizhai patted Yuan Tiangang on the shoulder.

Yuan Tiangang angrily picked up a stone and was about to throw it on the ground.
