Zhou Rui knew that Ji Zeming was a principled person, so he said: "If you break something, you still have to pay for it." But 80,000 yuan is indeed a bit much, so let's lose 1,000 and buy a few extra things to take care of the business, Dad, what do you think?"

"How can you let the two of you pay for it! You really don't have to pay him, as for the two of you, if you like something, just take it away! If he dares to ask for money, his leg will be broken for him!" Jiang Guobing said.

The shopkeeper hung his head beside him, and he didn't dare to say a word more.

Knowing Zhou Rui's details, how dare he be arrogant again. Even the character who has to stammer with his brother-in-law, which onion is he?

Ji Zeming nodded, although this kind of compensation still exceeds the true value of that porcelain, it is at least much better than directly paying 80,000 yuan, and he has nothing to object.

Zhou Rui didn't say much, and pulled Ji Zeming around the room. Ji Zeming really didn't have much interest in these fakes, and in the end he only took two modern handicrafts, which had no collection value, and at most made a decoration.

Zhou Rui also took two pieces, one was an antique copy of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and the other was an inkstone.

Holding these things, Zhou Rui went over and asked, "Calculate how much it is." ”

The shopkeeper looked up and said, "50,000 calligraphy, 200,000 inkstones......"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Guobing slapped him on the head and said viciously: "Purchase price! Dare to cheat on me and beat you to death!"

The shopkeeper was like a hairless rooster, drooping his head, and said dejectedly: "Fifty calligraphy, five thousand inkstones." ”

"Don't tell the truth yet!" Jiang Guobing slapped him again: "Are you willing to spend 5,000 into an inkstone?"

The shopkeeper looked at him aggrievedly and said, "It's five thousand, that little kid was not willing to sell it at that time, saying that it has been passed down from the family for several generations." ”

Ji Zeming glanced at the inkstone and whispered to Zhou Rui: "Otherwise, let's change it, this Dingtian is from the Republic of China period, and the craftsmanship is quite average, the edges are irregular, and I don't know where it comes from." Five thousand dollars to buy it, it's not worth it. ”

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "It's okay, just pay him a little more." ”

Seeing that Zhou Rui didn't listen, Ji Zeming was secretly angry in his heart, and told you that it was not worth it, and he still had to buy it. Besides, what's the use of you buying an inkstone?

But just now he saved tens of thousands of dollars by relying on Zhou Rui's face, and in front of outsiders, Ji Zeming couldn't say anything more about him, so he could only scold Zhou Rui in his heart.

Isn't 5,000 yuan money? You don't make money, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are?

Then, Zhou Rui took out the bank card given by Ji Qingyun and settled the account, and Jiang Guobing watched a little uneasy from the sidelines. Mr. Zhou insisted on losing money, did he not do something right?

"Mr. Zhou, where are you going? Do you want me to send you?" While sending the two out of the store, Jiang Guobing asked politely.

Zhou Rui shook his head and said, "Let's just take a taxi back, don't bother Captain Jiang." ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, you go slowly!" Jiang Guobing waved his hand.

Zhou Rui hummed, and then left Sanxiang Street with Ji Zeming.

Jiang Guobing turned around and entered the store, and scolded his brother-in-law: "You are really good, I want to find Mr. Zhou all over the world, say thank you to others, and by the way, I don't have a chance to have a relationship." It is good for you not to offend anyone, but you have offended him when you come up. Today is when I'm here, if Chen Ju comes, you'll have to live in prison for the rest of your life, believe it or not!"

The shopkeeper was very aggrieved: "How did I know that he was so big, dressed so ordinary, and didn't look like a big man at all!"

"Big people must wear good clothes? Can't people wear ordinary clothes to experience life? Still fight with me!" Jiang Guobing said, really angry, and slapped me again: "Hurry up and clean up for me, this kind of broken shop will open early, and you don't know what kind of god you have provoked!"

At this time, Ji Zeming and Zhou Rui had already gotten into the taxi.

"That Captain Jiang is very good, just send his wife to the hospital, just like to put you on the table. The so-called grace of dripping water, the spring reciprocates, and now there are too few people who know how to repay the kindness. Ji Zeming suddenly said with emotion.

Zhou Rui nodded and agreed: "It's okay for others." ”

Seeing that Zhou Rui was still looking at the inkstone in his hand, Ji Zeming said with some displeasure: "Didn't I remind you just now, this inkstone is not worth much, and it is too much to buy it for five thousand yuan." And you used Xiao Yun's card just now, right? Although I have no objection to you using her money, I will do less in the future for such extravagant and wasteful things. ”

When the driver heard this, he immediately glanced at Zhou Rui from the rearview mirror.

Zhou Rui raised his head and said to Ji Zeming: "I just think that this inkstone seems to have something inside, so I bought it." ”

"What's in it, you don't understand antiques, how many times have you been to these three lanes and streets? Good things can be seen at a glance, I don't blame you for not understanding this, it's better to listen to other people's persuasion later!" Ji Zeming said.

People like him, who claim to be literati, are a little arrogant. Zhou Rui's junior high school education is too low, and he usually stays in the bookstore, trying to make Ji Zeming believe that he can pick up the leaks, but it is really impossible.

Zhou Rui smiled slightly bitterly and didn't defend anything.

He felt that there was something inside because he saw a faint blue light emanating from the inside of the inkstone in his left eye.

What can be seen by the left eye is not an ordinary thing. Zhou Rui is not sure whether it is good or bad now, and naturally he doesn't dare to easily verify it to Ji Zeming. Otherwise, if something bad happens, there will be no way to explain it.

"Also, people like Captain Jiang have real power. Although you are kind to him, you still have to weigh your own identity, and you can't feel that you don't pay attention to helping others talk and do things. Forget it this time, but the next time you encounter it, remember to invite someone to a meal to thank you. Anyway, today's matter can only be solved so easily with his help. Ji Zeming admonished again.

Zhou Rui was helpless, but on the surface, he still had to make a teachable appearance.

Ji Zeming was quite satisfied with his attitude.

If you don't do it well, you can change it, as long as you are willing to correct it, it's good.

Soon after, a taxi pulled into the complex.

After getting out of the car, Zhou Rui entered the house with a few things he bought back from the antique shop. The two pieces that Ji Zeming picked out by himself were placed in a more conspicuous position.

The university professor also said with some pride: "Although the two items I chose are not real antiques, they are also good little boutiques in modern times." The two pieces add up to 3,000 yuan is not expensive, if you really take it out and find a good store, it can at least sell for tens of thousands. ”

The price of the things he bought casually can be tripled, and Ji Zeming is naturally very satisfied.

As for the two pieces that Zhou Rui took, the copybook was known to be modern antique products at a glance, and the shopkeeper also said that the purchase price was fifty yuan, which was almost equivalent to waste paper.

And the inkstone, the surface is neither flat nor historical, Ji Zeming is even more eye-catching, and asked Zhou Rui to take it back to the house and put it away.

Zhou Rui sighed, and was about to bring things into the house when the doorbell rang suddenly.

He casually put the inkstone and calligraphy on the coffee table and went over to open the door.

When I opened the door and saw the two people standing outside, I was stunned.

The person standing outside was none other than Sun Changyun, a master of modern calligraphy and painting who had been treated by Zhou Rui before, and his unsuccessful son-in-law Zhang Wenhuo.

Zhang Wenhuo was very happy and said, "Mr. Zhou, you really live here!"

Zhou Rui looked at him curiously: "How did you find here?"

Sun Changyun on the side explained: "Xiaomei has several classmates in Qingzhou who work in the public security system, so I found out your home address. This time I was suddenly disturbed, and I asked Zhou Xiaoyou not to be surprised. If you don't say thank you to your face, you really can't help it. ”

Zhou Rui really wanted to tell him, I really hope you can go with your heart!

was found at home by Sun Changyun and Zhang Wenhuo, and when Ji Zeming turned around, he asked, how to explain to him?

said that he was self-taught, learned acupuncture, defeated the leaders of the old generation of the Huichun Tang family, and saved Sun Changyun?

I don't know if Ji Zeming will directly treat the two of them as liars......

At this time, Ji Zeming's voice came: "Zhou Rui, who is coming?"

Before he could answer, he heard a "bang".

Zhou Rui looked back and saw that the little Jingba raised at home jumped off the coffee table, and the inkstone on the ground had been broken into several pieces.

Ji Zeming reprimanded the Pekingese dog, and then walked to the door.

When he saw Sun Changyun, he was slightly stunned, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Are you ...... Sun Changyun, Master Sun, right?"

Sun Changyun's fame has also spread widely in nearby provinces and cities, and it is not surprising that he is recognized.

He smiled and nodded, "It's me." ”

Ji Zeming also likes to write and draw on weekdays, and everyone loves these celebrities the most. Especially Sun Changyun's one-handed willow body, which makes him very respectful. Sometimes when I give lectures to students in school, when I talk about Liu Gongquan, the last great calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty and one of the four masters of regular script, I will also mention Sun Changyun's name from time to time, thinking that he is one of the best people to write willow style in modern times!

It's just that the school is busy with affairs on weekdays, and Sun Changyun has no chance to get to know him, so he only hears his name and doesn't see him.

Suddenly seeing a real person today, Ji Zeming was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly reprimanded Zhou Rui: "How can you let Master Sun stand at the door, come on, come on, please come in!"

Zhou Rui sighed in his heart, so he had to get out of the way and invite Sun Changyun and Zhang Wenhuo in.

Sun Changyun originally came to find Zhou Rui, so naturally he would not be polite.

When I walked into the living room, I saw a broken inkstone.

Seeing his gaze looking over there, Ji Zeming hurriedly said: "The puppy at home is naughty, Zhou Rui, hurry up and clean it up, I'll go make tea for Master Sun!"

"I'll help!" Zhang Wenhuo said, and he was about to get a broom.

Zhou Rui had a headache, grabbed the broom with an arrow step, glanced at Zhang Wenhuo, and said, "No, you better talk to them." ”

Zhang Wenhuo couldn't understand what his eyes meant, so he was stunned.

Zhou Rui took a broom and a dustpan to clean up the debris, and after picking up a piece of the broken inkstone, something suddenly fell from it.

In Zhou Rui's eyes, this thing exuded a faint cyan light, which made him a little excited, there was really something hidden in the inkstone.

The thing looked like jade, and there were some patterns carved on the surface, and Zhou Rui almost didn't know anything about it, where could he recognize what it was.

On the contrary, Sun Changyun noticed the jade stick in his hand because he paid attention to Zhou Rui, and after taking a few careful looks, he was suddenly stunned, and then walked over quickly with a look of surprise.

"Mr. Zhou, can you let me take a look at this?"

Zhou Rui turned his head and saw Sun Changyun staring at the jade stick in his hand with anticrative and excited expression.
