Chapter 337: Old Knowledge
Zhang Wei held the coffee cup in his hand, smelled the strong mellow aroma of coffee, watched Li Mengyao twist her graceful waist, and walked out of the office in a lotus step, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
If you want to change a person, the best way is not to find a role model for her, but to find a competitor for her, so that she does not need to be supervised by others, and under the pressure of competition, she will slowly change herself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although it is just a cup of coffee, it symbolizes a change.
In the evening, Zhang Wei and Liu Cheng met in a restaurant, and Zhang Wei instructed him to secretly investigate the Wei District. Long, Liu Cheng also agreed very happily, which also made him value Liu Cheng even more.
is the so-called 'capture the thief and capture the king first', if Zhang Wei wants to completely settle Lu Cheng and teach the other party a cruel lesson, he still has to guard the area first. Take it long, otherwise it's like a sword hanging over your head.
Liu Cheng is only responsible for secretly investigating, Zhou Fatzi has a high status and wide connections, Zhang Wei wants him to contact him in the open, this matter has to wait for Zhou Fatzi to come back, Zhang Wei is planning with him in detail.
Sanitation Zone. The long matter has to wait for Zhou Fatzi to come back before he can have further actions and plans, so Zhang Wei rushed to Panjiayuan the next day to solve the matter of the black agate bracelet.
Zhang Wei had already contacted Wang Chao before coming to Panjiayuan, and he was now in the newly opened store, and Zhang Wei had also come twice, but this time it was very different.
The first two times due to the closure of the store, the entire store looked very dilapidated, leaving only a small door to enter and exit, but now it has been renovated and opened, and it can be said that it has a new look and a full of customers.
Zhang Wei followed a few sightseeing tourists, walked into this recently opened antique shop, the area of the hall is very vast, the quaint decoration is unique, the antique shop is filled with a faint sandalwood.
Zhang Wei glanced down the hall and found a carved mahogany table in the center of the room, a delicate three-legged incense burner standing on top of the wooden table, and smoke rising from the ground, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.
In the lobby of the antique shop, there are wooden shelves with various collectibles, such as calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jade, bronzes, etc., of all kinds and sizes.
"Brother Zhang, you're here."
When Zhang Wei was looking at the antique shop, Wang Chao also spotted him, came to Zhang Wei's side, and asked with a smile: "How do you feel about my shop, brother?" ”
"Okay, I guess Brother Wang, your antique shop can be regarded as the number one in Panjiayuan." Zhang Wei is just a layman, it's okay for him to see the excitement, and he can't say anything professional.
"I don't dare to say the number one, it's just a mixed meal." Wang Chao said modestly, but his face showed a touch of pride, he spent a lot of effort on the decoration and decoration of this antique shop.
"Brother Zhang, please come here, let's go to the house and talk." Wang Chao made a gesture of please and led Zhang Wei to the side of the cubicle.
The area of this compartment is not large, the doorway is covered by a curtain, and there is a table and a chair inside, and a bamboo potted plant, which is much quieter than the outside.
"Sit, I'll make you a pot of tea, and we'll talk while we drink." Wang Chao said as he began to fiddle with the teapot.
"Brother Wang, do you remember the black agate bracelet I bought in your store when I mentioned it to you before?" Zhang Wei sat down on the chair opposite and asked.
"Remember, what's wrong?" Wang Chao asked.
"Brother Wang, I used to have severe insomnia, and since I put on that black agate bracelet, this symptom has completely disappeared." It was impossible for Zhang Wei to tell anyone about mind reading, so he made up an excuse and said.
"Oh, that's a good thing." Wang Chao said with a smile.
"That's a good thing, but there's something wrong with this agate bracelet right now, so I'd like to show you it." Zhang Wei said as he took off the agate bracelet and handed it to Wang Chao opposite.
Wang Chao put down the teapot in his hand, took the bracelet handed over by Zhang Wei, looked at the bracelet carefully, and after seeing the cracks on the agate beads, his face couldn't help but change.
"Brother, since there is something wrong with this bracelet, you can change it if you want to change it, or if you want to return it, Brother Wang, I will personally handle it for you." Wang Chao pondered for a moment, patted his chest and said.
Wang Chao is also a very shrewd person, after seeing the cracks on the pillar, he speculated that the agate bracelet for insomnia is fake, it is very likely that the agate bracelet is broken, Zhang Wei wants to come to the store to return the goods, but it is difficult to say it clearly because of the situation, so he will express it in this euphemistic way.
"Then I'm not going to do it." Zhang Wei shook his head and smiled.
After seeing Wang Chao's expression, Zhang Wei knew that the other party might have misunderstood, so he took the black agate bracelet with a smile and said:
"Brother Wang, what I just said is not a lie, this agate bracelet is different from the ordinary, it can indeed cure my insomnia, you just take ten of the same material, I will not change it with you."
"Really? I don't see any difference! Wang Chao wondered.
"I don't know very well about this, anyway, it's the same agate material, but it doesn't have the same curative effect, I didn't want to return it today, but I wanted to ask, if there is a bracelet with the same curative effect." Zhang Wei said.
"It's the same material, how can it have different effects?" Wang Chao touched his chin and muttered to himself.
After a while, Wang Chao seemed to remember something, and said slowly: "Brother, there is an explanation for the situation you said, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"Oh, what's the explanation?" Zhang Wei asked.
"Some jewelry made of precious materials has always had the saying of 'enlightening', and those items that have been enlightened can stimulate real energy." Wang Chao said.
"Brother Wang, you mean to say that this agate bracelet has been consecrated." Zhang Wei pointed to the bracelet in his hand and asked.
"I don't know much about this, but we can ask the old-timers in the industry." Although Wang Chao has been in the antique industry for many years, he has not been involved much in religious matters.
"Then it's going to trouble Brother Wang."
"You're welcome, brother, go and visit that senior, I can also learn some knowledge." Speaking of the senior, Wang Chao was very respectful, and immediately stood up from his position and led Zhang Wei out of the store.
On the way, Wang Chao also briefly introduced the situation of the senior, the predecessor in the antique industry surnamed Qian, is a well-known appraisal master in China, and is erudite and knowledgeable, can be called the master of the collection industry.
However, the senior retired bravely, and in the past two years, he has stopped operating an antique shop, but opened a four-treasure shop in the study room, specializing in selling pens, ink, paper, inkstones and other stationery.
The old Qian shop is called 'Wenzhai Pavilion', not far from Wang Chao's store, although the area of the store is not large, but the decoration and furnishings are very good, full of antique, scholarly and picturesque, and have a unique flavor.
Wang Chao walked in with Zhang Wei, there were not too many customers in the store, only a few people were watching, two guys greeted at the counter, and there was an old man sitting on a recliner next to him, holding a purple sand teapot in his hand, half-squinting his eyes, very comfortable.
"Old money." Wang Chao quietly stepped forward, leaned over, and said softly.
"Oh, Boss Wang is here, and he is not welcome." The person known as Qian Lao turned his head to look at Wang Chao, sat up from the recliner, and said.
"Old Qian, didn't you kill me? I'm here with you today, but I beg you to do something. Wang Chao said.
"What's the matter?" Qian Lao looked indifferent and said.
"Old Qian, let me introduce you, this is a little brother of mine, and he wants to ask you for help with something." Wang Chao stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Wei on the side and said.
"Old Qian, I'm glad to see you again, and this time I can accept your guidance again." Zhang Wei said with a smile.
This Qian Lao is dressed in a blue Tang suit, with kind eyebrows and gray hair, but his spirit is very strong, it is the old Qian who once had a relationship with Zhang Wei and saw in Agarwood Residence, and also helped Zhang Wei identify the statue of Guanyin with gold and jade.
"Gold inlaid jade Guanyin!" Qian Lao seemed to recognize Zhang Wei, but he didn't remember Zhang Wei's name, but he still remembered the authenticated antique.
"Qian Lao, I didn't expect you to remember me." Zhang Wei showed a wry smile on his face, not so much that Qian Lao remembered him, but that he remembered the Guanyin statue.
"Hehe, please sit down and talk." Qian Lao put down the purple sand teapot, pointed to the two seats on the side, and said.
"Thank you, Mr. Qian." Wang Chao said politely, and asked with some doubts: "Brother, you also know Qian Lao." ”
"I had a relationship with Mr. Qian, and Mr. Qian also helped me identify an antique, if I really talk about it, I still owe Mr. Qian a favor." Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"Eh, it's a matter of raising your hands, don't mention it." Qian Lao waved his hand and said, "Boss Wang, little brother, you came to me today, it's not to catch up with the past." ”
"Old Qian, I have something I want to ask you for help." Zhang Wei said.
"Little brother, please say, as long as I can do it, I will try to help." Qian Lao's attitude was very polite, but he didn't say it to death.
"I used to have severe insomnia, and I accidentally bought an agate bracelet in Brother Wang's store, and since I brought that agate bracelet, I have never had insomnia." Zhang Wei paused for a moment and continued:
"However, wearing other agate jewelry of the same material is useless, and the cracks on the beads of the bracelet in the past few days make me worry about whether the bracelet will lose its healing effect."
"Little brother, are you sure it's not psychological?" Qian Lao pondered for a moment and asked.
"Absolutely not." Zhang Wei said categorically.
"If the little brother doesn't mind, you can bring it to me and show it."
"Old Qian, here you go." Zhang Wei waited for this sentence, took off the bracelet from his wrist, and handed it to Qian Lao, who was sitting opposite.
"Hmm."
Qian Lao stretched out his hand to take the agate bracelet, took out the magnifying glass in his pocket, and carefully observed the bracelet, and the expression on his face became solemn.
