Chapter 158: There are conditions for betting
This person's name is Xue Qiang, and he is the owner of the gray building, and they often hold such gatherings, similar to the salon formed by Tibetan friends.
The time and place are uncertain, if it was in Luochuan, most of these people would come to Xue's house.
As soon as Zuo Yucheng and the others followed Xue Qiang in, Ye Xiaochi found that there were several people here that she had seen, and they had all said a few words, including Brother Chen of the Jade Association.
Several others have also visited Jinguzhai. As soon as Zuo Yucheng entered, the people in the house looked up and saw them. All of a sudden, the originally noisy living room quickly became quiet. It's as if I've been given something.
This is the first time that a young girl has appeared next to Zuo Yucheng, and in Zheng Zhenyu's original words, Zuo Yucheng is evaluated, that is, there is no mother within five meters of him.
Zheng Zhenyu is not the only gossip person, he does not belong to the antique circle, so he didn't come, but the middle-aged people in the house are not short of gossip and good things. Once there is something new, it is like injecting oxygen into the calm water of a lake, which is destined to set off a few bubbles.
Even Brother Chen was stunned and saluted the two of them, and Guan Yifei, who came in with the two of them, accidentally became a foil.
"Oh, Brother Cheng, are you? you are? this is not the one in your store..."
"Seiko, there's good news, girlfriend?"
…… For a while, several people came to talk to Zuo Yucheng, but not all of them thought like this, they only got together based on common interests and purposes, and it was naturally difficult to unify their opinions and ideas.
Some people were surprised that a girl finally appeared next to Zuo Yucheng, but some people felt that Zuo Yucheng violated the unwritten rules of their party by doing so.
This rule is indeed not written on paper, but everyone has been consciously abiding by it, that is, everyone who comes must have a certain degree of professionalism, and do not bring a female companion, but can bring a female companion on other occasions such as a drinking party.
So some people are a little disapprehensive when they see Zuo Yucheng, who has always been abiding, openly bringing in a girl like a college student, but Zuo Yucheng has always been quite low-key and does not take the initiative to provoke others, although they are dissatisfied, they don't show it.
The human face, like a palette, was revealed in front of Ye Xiaochi one by one, and she could understand the curiosity, questioning and disapproval drawn by these palettes.
However, when Zuo Yucheng asked others to price her, she didn't show any unhappiness, and naturally smiled and accepted the scrutiny of others, she was the only woman in it, if she was weaker, she couldn't stay.
Everyone was curious for a while, and if they couldn't ask anything, they were all well-informed people, so that a beautiful woman wouldn't be able to do business.
Over there, Xue Qiang had already said to the middle-aged man from Tibet: "Nima, everyone is here, show everyone what you brought." ”
Ye Xiaochi almost broke the score when she heard these two words, and Zuo Yucheng didn't tell her in advance what the name of the collector from Tibet was......
When everyone present saw that Nima was about to take the thangka, they all stood up and gathered around a large flat table placed on the north side of the large living room. The table is specially custom-made, fold the top table in half and rotate it to reduce the area by half, at this time the table top has been opened, I am afraid that some thangkas are too big to fit.
This time, Nima brought four thangkas, the largest of which was more than a meter long, and in fact there were bigger ones, but they were not easy to carry, so they were not brought.
The reason why I took so many to participate in this salon is actually for a purpose, after the professionals present have seen it, if you like it, you can exchange it with him, or buy it, even if it is a private conversation. He has a lot of Tibetan treasures such as thangkas and dzi on hand, and he lacks anything else. It's called a resource swap.
Nima was planning to open the four thangkas and spread them on the table for these people to observe, as for whether they could see it, it depended on whether they had the ability to do it, and they could discuss it privately with their good friends, but don't discuss the authenticity in public. This is also the rule between them.
In fact, even if someone can read it, they will not easily pass on their housekeeping skills, and they will hide it!
The four pairs of thangkas had already been paved at this time, and everyone was about to go over to watch, when they saw Guan Yifei, who had not spoken much, stood up, hugged his fists and said politely to these people: "Everyone, it's not interesting to play the same way every time, this time I thought of a different way to play, I don't know if everyone is interested?"
Hearing Guan Yifei say this, some people asked curiously: "What is the different way to play, you can tell me." "If it's not as interesting as he says, then forget it. Everyone is still anxious to see the thangka.
"Bet!"
Guan Yifei only replied with one word, is it a gamble? Maybe people are born with a bit of gambling, right? As soon as Guan Yifei said this, someone immediately answered: "How to gamble, Xiao Guan, you say." ”
"I made a bet with Zuo Yucheng on the authenticity of these four thangkas, who is right the most, who wins. Guan Yifei did not hide what he meant, and let the people present know that he was going to provoke Zuo Yucheng this time.
But some people know that Zuo Yucheng is actually not proficient in thangkas, but only knows a thing or two, so he doesn't have thangkas in his store. Of course, Guan Yifei also knows that even if he wins, it's not a big deal, right?
Seeing that these people didn't speak, Guan Yifei added: "I don't have much research on Thangka, I want to bet on luck today, of course, if Chengzi thinks that your luck may not be good today, then let the little girl next to you come, you see that girl is shining, luck will definitely not be bad." ”
Zuo Yucheng felt that Guan Yifei had a good life for a long time, which made him comfortable, and he was about to agree, but he saw Ye Xiaochi stretching out his arm to gently stop him, and then stood forward a little: "You have a sentence that I quite agree, I think I have been really lucky recently, and I have bought a lot of gadgets." Otherwise, I'll bet with you, and I won't need my boss. ”
Everyone was stunned, does this girl not know the height of the sky? This is not a joke, do you think she is very good-looking, and she is used to being praised, so she dares to argue with Guan Yifei. Guan Yifei himself said that he was not proficient in thangka, but that was relative to Nima and a thangka expert named Lao Jin who was present.
Guan Yifei narrowed his eyes, and for the first time after entering the house, he seriously looked at the girl beside Zuo Yucheng, Ye Xiaochi also found that he was looking at him, and said unexpectedly: "Since you want to bet, what about betting? What do you want to bet?"
Yo, this is quite serious, it looks like this person may really be able to order. Someone looked at Guan Yifei: "Xiaoguan, what do you want to bet on?"
Guan Yifei took out a snuffbox from his pocket and put it on the table: "I lost this to you, what are you going to do if you lose?"
Ye Xiaochi picked up the snuffbox and looked at it: "I don't like this, let's change it, it's better for you to take out all the things you brought, I'll choose one, I'll bet on the one I like, if I don't agree, forget it." ”
Guan Yifei: "......"
Everyone thought that this girl was quite picky, and the snuffbox was not worth gambling, so she had to pick it......
There was something good to push Guan Yifei: "Take it out, show it to her." ”
Guan Yifei was a little angry, he had two things in his hand that he planned to keep for fine products, even if she couldn't understand it, what if the shit was shipped and he would be transferred away? But at this time, can he not agree?
