Chapter 108: Red Rose
The bald head was very embarrassed after hearing this: "Then brother, you must stay, let my brother express himself well!"
I was happy: "Okay! It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, then I'll try Brother Wang's cooking level today!"
In the evening, the bald head asked the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes, this scene is all too familiar to me, and this guy's usual trick is like this......
It's just that I didn't rent a temporary wife this time, I guess I think I'm a bachelor, and I'm a beautiful girl I've seen more than the second generation of flowers, and I don't have to find a wife to get close.
When the dishes were ready, the bald head invited me to the table: "Come on, brother, we don't have to be restrained if it's a family banquet today." I don't know if it's to your taste. ”
I walked to the table and looked, "Oh, the bald head is bold enough, tonight is a seafood feast, plump and large shrimp scallops, delicious Arctic shellfish and meat crabs".
I am happy in my heart, it seems that the Bird Gate is convinced of my identity as a rich second generation!
After three rounds of meals, the bald head was slightly drunk.
"Brother, the light element master visited today, your first time at home, I haven't led you to take a good look!
I had my own sense of proportion in my heart, and smiled heartily: "I can see that Brother Wang's taste is very good! I am also full, just when it is time to eat, then let's go!"
The bald head led me from the first floor, and I walked around the hall, the room, and the storage room, and talked about it endlessly. When I got to the second floor, the bald head took me into the study first.
This study is very tastefully furnished. It belongs to the style of the Ming Dynasty, simple and bookish.
"Brother Wang, can't you see that you still like calligraphy and painting?"
"Hehe, I'm not good at it, I'm just a hobby, and I usually play by myself when I'm fine. ”
I nodded, and walked back and forth in the study, because there were a lot of calligraphy and paintings in this room, some of them were packed in boxes, some were framed, and there should be a lot of valuable goods. So I suspect that the bald man brought me here with the intention of luring me in with calligraphy and painting.
But after watching and chatting for a long time, he didn't seem to mean this, but he didn't mean to get out of this room either. I patiently followed him, waiting for the bald head to shoot.
Sure enough, he asked me to look at a picture of a horse.
"Brother, you have seen a lot of good things, I have a baby at the bottom of the box here, I don't take it out when ordinary people come, today our brothers will appreciate it." ”
The bald head pointed to the lattice on the innermost antique shelf: "Brother, it's right in your hand, please take it." ”
"Oh, good!" I turned my head and bent down to find that there was a soft box of Suzhou embroidery on the grid, which was very delicate and delicate, "Is it this pale green?"
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
I reached for the box, and the moment I picked it up, a faint beam of light pierced my eyes.
I looked down and saw a ruby lying quietly next to the box.
The luster of this ruby is wonderful! I'm not particularly knowledgeable, but I still have a little idea of the basics.
This is supposed to be a self-colored gemstone, because it is mixed with a trace amount of chromium, so it is extremely transparent, and the color is bright and highly saturated, like a red rose.
The uneven red color is like blood or flowers, and the uneven distribution just indicates its origin, which comes from the gift of nature.
The light was on in the study, and the spotlight on the antique shelf just hit the gemstone, and the light fully erupted through the ruby body, and even faintly saw the outline of the object on the opposite side through the gem!
And this gem has a rare healing fissure!
Healing fissures are caused by the unstable and changeable crystallization environment during the growth of gemstones. The healing of the fissures causes the gemstone to crack locally along the crystal growth mesh, and then as the crystal continues to grow as a crystal defect and is closed inside the gemstone, this beautiful shell-like scattering pattern shows that this is a genuine good thing!
The bald head saw me looking at the gem and joked, "Brother likes jewelry?"
I held the box in my hand and turned my head: "Brother Wang, you are ...... It's a good thing!"
The bald head smiled faintly, avoided talking about it, and just asked me to come over and enjoy the painting together.
I patiently accompanied him to talk nonsense, listening to him explain to me the origin, background, origin and experience of this painting, I listened with my elbows on the side, and I couldn't stop thinking about it.
Bald head this is to cover up?
I don't dare to assert how good this calligraphy and painting is, but that gem is definitely a valuable commodity! The bald head kept the ruby on the shelf so casually, but he was just a treasure for the calligraphy and painting, what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd......
The bald head spoke for about half an hour, and I listened to it very boringly. Finally, this buddy stopped talking, "I have to trouble my brother again, put this box back." ”
"Okay, Brother Wang, you are too polite. ”
I put the pale green box back on the antique shelf, the diamond was shining, and I deliberately asked, "Brother Wang, did you put this gem here so casually?"
The bald head seemed to be ready, and as soon as I asked the question, he immediately pretended not to care: "Hey, you said that." Brother understands this?"
I shook my head: "I don't really understand it, but I can see that this is a good thing! Natural goods, and the color is also excellent! It's rare on the market!"
The bald head laughed: "My little brother, you are really from a rich family, you have seen a lot of good things! Sure enough, you have eyesight! This is called a red rose, which is a pure natural gemstone." Red is relatively rare in the pure natural color. This stone is still worth some money!"
I nodded, "Then why did Brother Wang throw it here at will?"
The bald head smiled indifferently: "I'm a strange person, whether it's expensive or not is a number for me! And as long as I really like it, even if it's worthless rags, I'll be a baby." If you don't particularly like it, no matter how expensive it is, I'll just treat it as an ordinary object and throw it away!"
I gave a thumbs up: "Brother Wang, you are the real wealthy! I guess you are the only one who can put such a precious thing in your hands!"
The bald head was amused by me.
The two of us went downstairs to drink tea, and the bald head deliberately introduced to me how powerful his calligraphy and painting collection is, but I already knew in my heart that this gem was the point!
I listened deliberately, thinking about something else and absent-mindedly......
After a while, the bald head saw it and asked me, "Brother, do you have something on your mind?"
"Ah, no, no. It's just Brother Wang, can I take the liberty of asking, have you ever asked someone to appraise the value of that ruby?"
The bald head said: "So you are still thinking about that ruby! I said, it looks like people are absent-minded!"
"Although I am not very obsessed with gemstones, I have a lot of collections, so when I see such a good thing, I can't help but be worried. ”
"I understand, when I first bought it, I asked someone to see it, and the gem was probably worth about one million, but I didn't take it seriously at the time, and I casually asked someone to identify it. I don't know what the market price is now. ”
"Where did Brother Wang bring it back?" I asked anxiously.
"South Africa. ”
"Ahh
"Brother Wang is going on a trip?"
"Haha, I have a fate with this red rose! At that time, I used to do foreign trade business, and then I stayed in a hotel with a few Chinese who went there together. One of them was a jeweler. The jeweler was overjoyed to have gotten the red rose by accident. ”
"That's for sure!" I chimed in, patting my thigh.
"I saw him so excited and thought it should be a good thing. And red pure natural gemstones are really rare in China, so I bought them!"
"But after returning to China, I didn't take it seriously, I felt that the antique shelf was a little empty, so I simply put it on it to make decorations!"
"Hahaha, Brother Wang is really heroic!"
"The little brother took the liberty of asking, has this gem brother thought about transferring?"
The bald head rolled his eyes, and said with a big grin: "Oh, what is the transfer? Where do I have this kung fu now, the business is still doing as usual, and the calligraphy and paintings are still being collected! I am not so difficult that I want to smash the pot and sell iron!"
"Hahaha, that's that! The younger brother is presumptuous to ask, brother, don't take it to heart! Your pot and iron are really valuable!" I said apologetically.
After a few more pleasantries with the bald head, I took my leave.
Not long after returning home, Yanzi's WeChat came over.
"Xiao Feng, is it going well today?"
"Well, it's okay. ”
"The guy I was looking for didn't drop the chain for you, did he?"
I think it's funny when I think of that elemental master.
"Swallow, where did you get that person?"
"I spent 200 yuan to hire extras from the studio!"
"No!ha...... "I'm so amused by the swallows."
"You're so bold! This guy is so real that even I was bluffed in. He's still walking in a cold style!"
"What?
"Well, but Cantonese is pretty standard. ”
"He's from Guangdong! You said that this master wanted to live in Hong Kong, so I found one from Guangdong. ”
"Yes, he performed well today, and somehow he can see that the bald head is a cheap life, and he actually said that he can't suppress the rich house!"
After chatting with the swallow for a while, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep......
