34. You're too much of a bully
Qi Haoxuan's laughter stopped abruptly, and he stared at Zhou Rui with gloomy eyes: "What did you say?"
"I said, your pair doesn't look very good, it's a little small, and the pulp is average, it's only a three-edged ......," Zhou Rui said.
Zhang Hongming covered his head, quietly pulled Zhou Rui, and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't say it." ”
Although the walnuts sent by Qi Haoxuan are only three-edged, they are in good condition, and they are real antique walnuts, which are worth a lot of money. Zhou Rui's evaluation is almost useless, so unless he can come up with something better, the lower he devalues this pair of walnuts now, the more ruthless the person who throws it back.
He glanced at Zhang Hongming, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, I think this Zhou Xiaoyou may be tired, otherwise you can take him around first." ”
Zhang Hongming secretly complained in his heart, knowing that his father was also made unable to get off the stage by Zhou Rui, so he was a little angry.
Originally, he wanted to use this to make Zhou Rui have a closer relationship with his family, but who would have thought that it would be just a pair of walnuts and make it like this.
Speaking of which, Zhang Hongming himself was also a little angry.
Obviously, the steps are paved for you, and you can just borrow the donkey from the slope to get off the donkey, why don't you hit the muzzle?
At this time, Qi Haoxuan had already walked over and said coldly: "Second uncle, this distinguished guest you brought said that my walnuts are very ordinary. I'd love to see how good the walnuts he brought were, so please open the bag and let us open our eyes. ”
The surrounding relatives were originally unhappy with Zhang Hongming's elbow turning outward, but now that Zhou Rui wanted to find death, they were naturally happy to fulfill it, and immediately shouted: "Yes, everyone has said that what they bring is better than Xiaoxuan, so they naturally want to appreciate it in public." ”
"Hongming, you can't hide your secrets, such a good baby, why do you have to let everyone open their eyes together, right?"
Zhang Hongming glared at Qi Haoxuan fiercely, but he didn't reprimand him like before, because he also knew that this matter was no longer a matter of who was targeting whom. It can only be said that Zhou Rui himself does not know how to lift.
At the same time, Charter and Ye also spoke: "Second brother, since everyone says so, let's open the bag." ”
Hearing the old father speak, Zhang Hongming naturally knew that there was no room for recovery. After glancing at Zhou Rui, Zhang Hongming sighed, Brother Zhou, what kind of medicine did you take wrong, you have to do something at this juncture!
He had no choice but to turn the tote bag, which was too old to know what it had been used for, and shake the pile of walnuts to the ground.
Zhang Hongming didn't understand what Zhou Rui brought from beginning to end, and he never felt that there was anything to look at.
However, when the walnuts did fall to the ground, he only glanced at them and was stunned.
Not only him, but almost everyone was stunned.
The entire Zhang family villa, from the laughter just now, full of ridicule and disdain, quickly became extremely silent.
This silence made Zhou Rui a little at a loss. He really doesn't know much about walnuts, and what he brings is only what he exchanged for golden light in the Book of Ethics. What is the difference between it and the real Wenzhu walnut, he doesn't know.
Looking left and right, Zhou Rui subconsciously opened his mouth and wanted to ask: "...... of you?"
As a result, he only said two words, and saw the charter and the old man next to him get up from the chair.
Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, only to see the old man walk quickly to the pile of walnuts and squat, pick up one casually, and exclaimed: "Eight-sided lion head!"
In the literary play walnut, the "edge" is very important. The more edges, the more precious.
Generally speaking, walnuts are one and two edges, three edges and four edges belong to the treasures, five edges and six edges are unique, and seven edges and eight edges are only known by their names, and they can no longer be described by two words.
This is the work of seizing heaven and earth, and the time and place are indispensable.
There are so many walnut trees in the world, whether wild or artificially grafted, trying to find the eight-sided walnut is tantamount to fishing for the moon in the water!
Moreover, the eight-sided lion head in his hand is amazingly large, at least more than five centimeters. In your hand, it weighs as much as stone!
Its texture is really like the lion face of the beast king, those folds, concave and convex, full of mysterious and indescribable taste.
Chartered and has been playing this stuff since he was very young, and he can be regarded as an expert in this. The eight-sided lion head in his hand, which is rare in the world, fascinated his eyes and made him excited.
The dark red pulp makes it look like a precious gem. Silky to start, but with sharp edges and corners, it can be called the best of the best!
Although Zhang Hongming does not know as much about walnuts as his father, he understands a little bit under the long-term edification, and naturally understands what this kind of quality means.
Looking down at the other walnuts, Zhang Hongming seemed to have discovered something, he hurriedly pulled them, picked them up and put them on the table to compare them one by one.
A few minutes later, fifteen huge walnuts were neatly placed on the table.
He gasped and said with a shocked face: "My God, the Eight Immortals have crossed the sea......
The so-called Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, of course, does not refer to myths and legends, but to collect the walnuts from one edge to eight edges.
However, the vast majority of people in the world will be broken when they collect the five edges and six edges, and it is more difficult to collect a group of eight immortals to cross the sea than to ascend to the sky.
Now, Zhou Rui directly took out two sets of Eight Immortals across the sea, and the most terrifying thing is that these two sets are in pairs!
Each pair of walnuts, regardless of the angle of the edges, the texture of the surface, and the size, are exactly the same, just like a mold carved out.
Insiders once said that a pair of similar walnuts could not be found in a cartload.
Now, the eight pairs are completely identical, and the eight immortals in groups cross the sea, if these dozen or so walnuts are taken out, the whole circle will be a sensation!
Hearing his son's exclamation, the charter and the old man also came back to their senses. When he saw the other fifteen walnuts on the table, he was stunned again.
After a few seconds, he walked over slowly, placing the eight-sided lion head in his hand at the back.
Sixteen walnuts are truly gathered.
In the sunlight, they look like they have an extraordinary beauty, as if they are not earthly things, but treasures that have fallen from the sky! The dark red pulp is not thrilling and gorgeous, but has a solemn sense of historical precipitation. That's enough color to make every favorite of Wenyu walnuts crazy for it!
Not everyone can play like this all their lives, and such a color may be more difficult than pairing!
After playing walnuts all his life, his biggest dream is to collect a group of eight immortals to cross the sea. But this kind of thing, it doesn't mean that you can do it if you have money, the luck component is far greater than the power of money.
Now, his dream has come true, and it has doubled it.
However, it was a humble bookstore owner who helped him realize his dream.
Just a few minutes ago, both Charter and himself were very disappointed in the little boss, thinking that he was an ordinary person who could not be deeply acquainted.
Now, that thought is gone, replaced by a deep sense of remorse.
When you get old, why are you getting more and more blind?
He even thought that if he had a bigger temper and drove Zhou Rui out with this bag of walnuts, wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life?
Thinking of this, the charter and my heart were scared for a while.
At this moment, a discordant voice sounded: "Impossible! This must be artificially made! How can there be such a perfect group of eight immortals crossing the sea in the world!"
Qi Haoxuan ran over with a pale face, grabbed one of them, and looked at it over and over again, trying to find traces of artificial creation.
There are also relatives who have just mocked Zhou Rui, and they can't help but question at this moment: "Yes, it's so perfect, how can it be fake!"
"yes, it must be fake!"
A bunch of people shouted, they had to question it, otherwise, mocking Zhou Rui just now would be tantamount to a slap in the face.
A sneer rang out, making the voice on the field much lower.
This voice comes from the charter and the old man.
He walked straight to Qi Haoxuan, and without saying a word, snatched the three-edged walnut from the other party's hand, and then slapped it over.
Qi Haoxuan was stunned by him, covered his face and said aggrievedly: "Grandpa......"
He looked at him coldly and said, "There is a rumor in Qingzhao that Baylor has three treasures in his hands, a wrench, a walnut, and a caged bird. Even Emperor Qianlong was a lover of this, and he also wrote poems to praise the sun and moon in his palm, and he wanted to turn back time. Antique walnuts, I have been playing since I was ten years old, longer than your age, and the number of people I have handled is not 10,000 but 8,000, whether it is true or false, can't I tell the difference?"
As he spoke, he picked up another walnut and knocked it with the one in his hand.
Just listen to the sound of "ding", crisp and continuous, like a jade-like sound into everyone's ears.
This voice is extremely light and spiritual, like the sound of the Heavenly Palace Immortal, which makes people's spirits relaxed.
He continued: "The weight, the sound, and even the smell are impeccable. This is a treasure that has truly conquered heaven and earth, but you say that it is fake, and that is a blasphemy against walnuts!
These words made many people bow their heads and show shame.
They are indeed guilty, but they can't let go of the shelf, so they can only choose to question it in order to save face.
However, just that sound just now made them understand that this kind of questioning was meaningless.
The sixteen walnuts in front of them are definitely world-class treasures, where are they qualified to judge, let alone question!
He carefully put the two walnuts back in place, then faced Zhou Rui, suddenly bent down and bowed, and sighed: "Little friend, forgive me, I am also a ghost, and I am like others, judging people by their appearance." At such an age, it is really difficult to make such a mistake. ”
Zhou Rui was shocked, he was here to give gifts, but he was not waiting to be worshipped. What's more, with the constitution and identity, there are a few people in the entire Qingzhou who can stand his worship.
Hurriedly ran over to help the old man up, Zhou Rui smiled bitterly: "Old man, if you like this gift, why bother." You are about the same age as my grandfather, and if I really accept your worship, I will lose my life. ”
"Xiaoyou, I really deserve this great gift, but I am reluctant to return your ......" The charter and the embarrassed look on his face, with his age and status, it is really embarrassing to say such a thing.
Zhou Rui hurriedly said: "How can there be any big gifts, Mr. Zhang's help to me is much more important than these walnuts, I thank you before it's too late." ”
Zhang Hongming also walked over and said with a guilty face: "Brother, I underestimated you before, I'm really sorry." ”
Zhang Hongming's words were serious, he was like everyone else before, he didn't take the walnuts brought by Zhou Rui in his eyes. After all, who would have thought that such an old tote bag would contain such a pile of treasures.
Now, Zhang Hongming finally understands what it means to be a master to act, and there must be something weird.
And this also made him value Zhou Rui and promoted again.
"What Mr. Zhang said, I am a bookstore owner, and I am not a big person, it is normal to be underestimated, I am used to it. Zhou Rui said indifferently.
He wanted to ease the atmosphere, but what he said made the people around him even more embarrassed.
Because of their previous contempt for Zhou Rui, precisely because this is a small bookstore owner. As a result, wouldn't it be a slap in the face for people to give such a super gift and talk about things in the bookstore?
"As the saying goes, the small is hidden in the mountains, and the big is hidden in the world. As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and scolded Qi Haoxuan: "Don't let me roll over yet!"
Qi Haoxuan's face was extremely pale, and he still hadn't come back to his senses after the slap just now. The face is hot, and I don't know if it's because of pain or embarrassment.
"On weekdays, relying on the family's strength, there is no one in his eyes, but now I know what it means that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world! Why don't you apologize to Zhou Xiaoyou soon!" he reprimanded.
Who would dare to disagree with the old man's words?
Even if Qi Haoxuan was reluctant, he could only lower his head and say, "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry." ”
Zhou Rui didn't think this person was like anything, didn't he just underestimate him? But as I said before, he was originally the owner of a small bookstore, isn't it normal to be underestimated?
On the contrary, it made people slap the family, which made Zhou Rui stand up.
In the spirit of comfort, Zhou Rui said: "Actually, your two walnuts are okay, not so bad." ”
Qi Haoxuan almost cried when he heard this, why do you want me to die, right? I've been smacked, and I have to talk about walnuts, it's too bullying!
