Since Mr. Wang said so, let's check it on the Internet.

After seeing it, Xiao Qiao said to Jiulong: "Brother Jiulong, go ahead, it's good to make more friends." ”

Jiulong said: "Of course, in addition, I also want to use this opportunity to learn more about the market of strange stones in other places, but it may take about a week to go, and the family will have to worry about you." ”

"If the family is out of the way, and there is a mother, you can rest assured. ”

The reason why Kowloon wants to ask Xiao Qiao for advice on major matters is not that he can't be the master, but if he can get the support of the other half, there will be a lot less resistance, and he can devote himself wholeheartedly.

With Xiao Qiao's support, Jiulong was steady, he wanted to invite Lashi to go with him, and Lashi gave him a closed door: "It's so far away, I won't go, I can't stand the cost alone." ”

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Jiulong is not reluctant, he remembered the words of Tie Dahan who opened his mouth and closed his mouth and said that he wanted to mix with himself, so it was better to invite him to try.

Unexpectedly, Tie Dahan agreed without saying a word, and said that he could be a classmate with Kowloon, which was a blessing in his previous life.

Since this is the case, Kowloon told him how to sign up and told him to wait patiently.

Kowloon thought that this matter was done, but he didn't expect to encounter obstacles when he signed up, and the person at the registration office told him that he was not a member of the Zhongshi Association and could not sign up.

Yes, so far, Kowloon has not participated in any associations, let alone members of the Zhongshi Association.

Jiulong hurriedly asked what to do, the other party smiled, it's very simple, you sign up immediately, 100 yuan a year, 500 yuan will be done.

Well, money is a small thing, just sign up.

Before leaving, Kowloon did his homework again.

He suddenly remembered that President Wang of Qingdao had left a business card for himself, why not go to Qingdao first, and then go to the destination?

Through President Wang, you can also learn more about the stones in Lu Province, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

Kowloon was excited when he thought about it, and called President Wang.

It took the other party a long time to remember the person of Jiulong, and even said welcome, welcome, he would not let Jiulong down.

On May 5, Kowloon made an appointment with Tie Dahan and set off two days in advance and took a plane from Ludao to Qingdao.

After contacting President Wang, President Wang asked the two of them to come directly to the Jewelry and Antique City on Qingdao 15th Street, where his strange stone art museum [Lixin Stone Boundary] was located.

With a slightly fat round face, a towering forehead, and a smile on his face, this is the impression that President Wang gave to Kowloon.

President Wang picked up Kowloon at the door of the store and entered the store.

He came to the Gobi Stone, which he was proud of, and asked Kowloon what it looked like.

This was obviously a test of Kowloon's level of stone appreciation, Kowloon only glanced at it, and then smiled: "President Wang, you are a monkey, it is looking at you mischievously." ”

"Yes, this monkey has become a sperm, and he stares at me every day, as if he is afraid that I will treat him badly. ”

President Wang laughed, his excitement palpable.

He focused on asking Kowloon to visit his assemblage stones, one of which was: "Make new friends in other places." ”

The same size, the same body shape, the same top has a striking protrusion, the same resting in the antique pedestal, the difference is: one is clear and crystalline, one is shining, one is elegant and noble, the other is graceful and gorgeous, one is from the Great Gobi of Outer Mongolia, and the other is from the Alxa Left Banner of Inner Mongolia.

They met here unexpectedly, lived happily together, like a couple, inseparable.

The host placed them on a high and low Bogu frame, without any praise or disapproval, just to break the monotony and create novelty, so that it is less plain and more eye-catching.

A pair of "Confucius salutations." ”

This is a very expressive character combination stone.

Confucius and Lao Tzu are two characters, Confucius is on the right and Lao Tzu is on the left.

Confucius bowed his head and bowed courteously in front of Lao Tzu, who had silver hair and a shawl, a large sleeve and a wide robe, and held his head high.

From Lao Tzu's posture and demeanor, it is clear that he did not welcome Confucius, an uninvited guest.

Confucius asked for gifts, "Historical Records: The Biography of Lao Tzu" contains, when Confucius traveled around the world, when he arrived in Zhou, he visited Lao Tzu, and planned to ask him about etiquette.

It may be that Confucius had the intention of exhorting Lao Tzu in his speech, which made Lao Tzu very unhappy.

Lao Tzu said coldly: "Get rid of your arrogance and lust, get rid of your arrogance and unrealistic ambitions, these are not good for you!"

Confucius touched his nose and went back.

Why is there such a huge difference in the size of the two figures? It turns out that this work follows the expression technique of ancient Chinese figure painting, and the main figure must be much larger than the secondary figure.

In the work, the author's ideological tendency to value the old and ignore Confucius is exposed.

A pair of "nostalgia." ”

The two animals, lying opposite each other, seem to be whispering, as if they are pushing their hearts, and they are very close to each other.

What kind of animals are these? This is not important, the important thing is that one of them is a Gobi stone from Outer Mongolia, and the other is a grape agate from Inner Mongolia, they are big and small, the same quality is firm and moist, the same lifelike, but looking at their demeanor, they all seem to have a little melancholy.

Perhaps, they are all homesick because they have left their hometowns and relatives?
