Chapter 25: The Gourd (Part II)
"Hey, our Zhuang manager is finally back, your shelf is not small, and a room full of people are waiting for you. ”
As soon as Zhuang Rui stepped into the door of the pet store, he heard Liu Chuan's loud voice shouting, and looked into the store, there were really a lot of people.
The person Zhuang Rui saw at first sight was naturally Qin Xuanbing, Qin Xuanbing was wearing a purple wide sweater today, which set off the already very fair skin like jade, and the hair that was originally pulled up was also untied and draped over the shoulders, giving people a lazy feeling.
Qin Xuanbing is playing turtle racing with Nan Nan at the moment, it is estimated that Liu Chuan's kid came up with the idea, grabbed two turtles and threw them on the coffee table, let Nan Nan fiddle with it herself, watching the two turtles crawl clumsily on the coffee table, Qin Xuanbing and Nan Nan, the two beauties, the big and the small, are very happy to smile, Qin Xuanbing's smile is like a 10,000-year-old glacier once melted, in Zhuang Rui's eyes, there is actually a feeling of spring returning to the earth in his heart.
During this period of time, Qin Xuanbing's family background is not a secret among everyone, she was born in a wealthy family in Hong Kong, the main business in the family is jewelry, jade and jade, and it is famous in the whole Southeast Asia, compared with her family, Lei Lei's grandfather's industry is much inferior, in terms of asset reputation and business projects, it cannot be compared.
As if sensing Zhuang Rui's gaze, Qin Xuanbing regained his cold appearance, Zhuang Rui scratched his head a little embarrassed, and looked at the other people.
Lei Lei will be helping customers choose turtles next to a few aquariums at the entrance of the store, she originally grew up in Pengcheng, there is no language barrier, and she is very generous and impressive in doing business, not pretentious at all.
Zhuang Rui's eyes turned back to Liu Chuan, and there were three men sitting on the sofa beside him, one was an old man, probably in his sixties, thin and thin, but he was in good spirits, his eyes were bright, and he looked very capable, and the other two were middle-aged people in their forties, looking at their dress, they didn't look like customers buying things.
Liu Chuan pulled Zhuang Rui over, pointed at the old man and said: "Zhuang Rui, come, let me introduce you, this is the boss of the 'Ji Yaxuan' next to him, he is the boss of the 'Ji Yaxuan' next to him, he is the old-timer of our Pengcheng antique industry, and he is also the president of the Pengcheng Antique Association, and the director of the Jewelry and Jade Association. ”
The old man didn't seem to be very satisfied with Liu Chuan's title, glared at Liu Chuan, and said, "Little rabbit cub, I can't afford your name Uncle Lu, what kind of shopkeeper is just a bad old man." ”
Liu Chuan seemed to be used to joking with this old man, and he didn't care about it at the moment, and pointed to the other two middle-aged people and said to Zhuang Rui: "This is the boss of Liuxiangzhai, Song Jun Song, he is not often a busy man in Pengcheng, this is Brother Wang, the boss of Yudingtang, these two are not only in our Pengcheng antique world, but also in the boundary of northern Jiangsu Province, it is also famous. ”
Zhuang Rui hurriedly nodded and greeted a few people, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, according to Liu Chuan, the second middle-aged man in front of him was the head of the Pengcheng antique industry, but he didn't know what Liu Chuan meant by introducing these people to him, and he had nothing to do with this industry.
As the saying goes, people become old and refined, and the shopkeeper Lu seemed to see the trace of doubt on Zhuang Rui's face, and said straight to the point: "Xiaozhuang, a few of us came uninvited today, because I heard that you received a manuscript from Wang Shizhen of the Qing Dynasty some time ago, and Wang Shizhen's poems have been handed down a lot, but his manuscript is very rare, and we don't mean anything else, we just want to see it." ”
When Zhuang Rui heard this, he immediately understood, his eyes looked at Liu Chuan, and he hurriedly said, "A few of you are chatting, and I will go to greet the guests." ”
After Liu Chuan finished speaking, he hid away from Lei Lei's side, no need to ask, it must be that this thing didn't have a door in his mouth, and he promoted it for himself, Zhuang Rui was also secretly glad in his heart, fortunately he didn't tell this guy about the aura of his eyes, otherwise I'm afraid everyone on the earth will know about it now.
"Shopkeeper Lu, the two bosses ......".
"Xiaozhuang, the old man is big, call Uncle Lu. Before Zhuang Rui finished speaking, he was interrupted by the shopkeeper Lu.
"Okay, Uncle Lu, Brother Song, Brother Wang, I did receive a manuscript a year ago, looking at the quality should be a rare book, I also checked some information, the content of the manuscript is Wang Shizhen's Xiangzu notes, as for who wrote it, I can't tell clearly. ”
Zhuang Rui honestly told the manuscript about the situation, anyway, this thing has an innocent origin, and no one can snatch it away.
"Brother Zhuang, can you show a few of us?"
Song Jun, who looked a little rough, said loudly, you know, the most difficult thing to preserve in antiques is calligraphy and painting, like Wang Shizhen's works of a generation of everyone, the survival is extremely rare, and its authentic works can only be seen in a few large museums.
"Now??here ??"
Zhuang Rui glanced at the girl who was playing happily, he was a little embarrassed, he had to go home to get something, and Liu Chuan's store was full of people, a little noisy, and it was not a good place to appreciate antiques.
"Hey, it's me who lost my words, this place is not very suitable, so let's do it, if you are free tomorrow morning, brother, take the manuscript to the Jing Mingxuan teahouse next to this market, that is also my business, let's have a tea tasting treasure, old man, do you say it's good." ”
Although Boss Song has a rough appearance, he speaks very measuredly, and the meaning of his words is still headed by Old Man Lu, but Song Jun's demeanor and conversation are very atmospheric, and it seems that he will not be an ordinary antique collector.
"I think it's okay, but I don't know if Xiaozhuang will have time tomorrow?" said Old Man Song with a nod.
When Zhuang Rui was about to answer, the grasshopper in his arms suddenly chirped, probably because the temperature in the store had risen, Zhuang Rui's heart moved, there is nothing special about this grasshopper, but the gourd should have some origins, and he doesn't understand, why not let these people palm their eyes.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui opened his mouth and said: "Okay, since Uncle Lu said it, I will be there on time tomorrow, but Uncle Lu, I just received a small object in the market, I like it very much, can you see if you can help me palm my eyes and break the generation." ”
"Hehe, it's a gourd, right? take it out and take a look at it, and then ......."
Shopkeeper Lu heard the cries of the gnats, and saw Zhuang Rui talking like this, but he didn't understand what he was thinking.
When Liu Chuan and Lei Lei heard that Zhuang Rui had bought a gourd, they all came around, and even Qin Xuanbing and Xiao Nannan, who were fiddling with the turtle, were attracted by the crisp chirping of the gourd.
Zhuang Rui stretched out his hand and took out the gourd in his arms, and before he could hand it to Old Man Lu, he was snatched away by Liu Chuan, and the little girl hugged Liu Chuan's thigh on the ground, and she was also yelling to play.
"I said wood, how much did you buy this thing, how did you remember to play with this thing, do you remember when we were children catching grasshoppers? ”
Liu Chuan played with the gourd in his hand and handed it to Xiao Nannan, obviously not taking this thing seriously, but he didn't notice that the old man Lu on the side had a change in his face.
"I bought it for a thousand yuan, we wouldn't understand, if there was this thing, the blue-eyed general I raised back then wouldn't have frozen to death......" Zhuang Rui replied casually.
"A thousand dollars!! why are you kid crazy again??? do you know that I used to sell this thing, 20 yuan a random pick, which bastard sells you? Tell me, I'll go to him and ......"
Liu Chuan's voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, he didn't feel sorry for the thousand yuan, but he felt that his brother was being played by someone as a fool, and he was very unhappy.
