Summer has arrived, and the warm breeze on the riverside blows the willows, fluttering and fluttering.
Resting on the stone-cast benches on both sides of the riverbank, I stretched out in the sunshine and exhaled a breath of refreshment. I don't know if it's my delusion, every time I go out of Yanjing, I feel that the air and environment in other places are much better than the capital, the sky is brighter than the capital, the sky is bluer than the capital, and the river is clearer than the capital.
"It's beautiful." Zou Yue, who was sitting next to me, squinted at the riverbank.
I stretched out my hand and hugged her, "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, I can't compare with you, Aunt Zou, you are so beautiful today." ”
Zou Yue'e crossed Erlang's legs and smiled: "You, your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, aunt is still beautiful, she is about to become a pot-bellied woman, huh, go back, Wanru They are still waiting for us with the hotel, today is to gamble on jade, this is the right thing, don't delay." She wore a cool silk black sundress, with black high heels, dressed like a little goblin, but now, more than a month later, her belly is slightly bulging, supporting a charming arc on the silky black satin, very cute.
I helped her to the hotel to the west.
In a large suite on the eighth floor, Yan Wanru, Jiang Yan, Yuan Yazhen, Xi Mansha, and Fei Xiaohong were still eating breakfast.
Seeing us enter the house, Yan Wanru swallowed the bread in her mouth and looked over, "Don't catch a cold if you wear so little." ”
Zou Yue'e pursed her lips and smiled, "It's okay, it's warm outside, well, how are you doing, did you sleep well yesterday?" ”
Yan Wanru pulled a napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said, "It's okay, on the way to Yangzhou yesterday, I drove with Sister Yuan, not very tired, but Xiaojing, who drove alone for so long, tired, right?" Didn't Yanyan say that she would come with you, why didn't you stop? ”
I wiped my sweat, "I still want to die for her driving skills." ”
Jiang Yan immediately shouted: "Damn! Mirror, you say it again! Who is bad at driving? ”
Xi Mansha pouted and nodded at her head, "With your yelling surname, you can't let you drive if you have good driving skills." ”
Jiang Yan shouted: "I'm the youngest here, you all bully me!" ”
Fei Xiaohong shook the jade bracelet on her wrist, and said with a smile: "Yanyan, don't pay attention to them, when you return to Yanjing, you can drive Sister Hong's car away to practice." ”
"Hehe, it's still Sister Hong's buddy, thank you!"
Everyone laughed and laughed for a while, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Since more than a month ago, this kind of atmosphere has existed, Aunt Zou will call Sister Yan when she is fine, send text messages to Sister Yuan, and go shopping with Teacher Xi, in short, they seem to have become good friends overnight, I don't know what I think in my heart, at least on the surface I maintain a good relationship. I seriously doubt that Aunt Zou and the others said something alone behind my back, otherwise the current picture would not have appeared.
Had breakfast.
Yan Wanru picked up her mobile phone and made a call. The people who came with us to gamble on jade were two of Sister Yan's friends, and Sister Yan told them to come to the suite here to discuss the day's itinerary. While waiting, Jiang Yan once again sat opposite Zou Yue'e with big curious eyes, holding her chin and knocking her chin to look at her bulging little belly, her eyelashes flickering, as if she wanted to see through it.
Zou Yue'e looked up funny and said, "Yanyan, what's wrong?" ”
Jiang Yan snorted, "It's nothing, I think it's funny." ”
"Fun?" Aunt Zou hooked the corners of her mouth, held her stomach with one hand, and beckoned to her with the other, "Come and touch?" ”
"Ah, is that okay?" Jiang Yan looked excited, and after seeing Zou Yue'e nodding slowly, she squatted over with a smile, rubbed her hands, and carefully put her hand on Aunt Zou's stomach, her eyes closed, as if she was feeling something, "Hey, why didn't he kick me?" ”
Zou Yue'e smiled: "People outside can't feel it, but sometimes I can feel the little guy moving." ”
Xi Mansha also leaned over at some point, "Yue'e, can I touch it?" ”
Fei Xiaohong said in confusion: "I also touch!" ”
Aunt Zou laughed dumbly: "How did I become a giant panda?" Okay, okay, let's touch it. Even Yuan Yazhen, who was watching the stock market on the computer over there, also turned off the real-time market, and a group of people surrounded Zou Yue'e. After a while, Zou Yue'e pulled away all the hands on her stomach, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's too itchy, don't touch it, if you touch it again, I can charge it, 100,000 yuan." ”
Knock knock, there was a knock on the door outside.
A few people stopped messing around, opened the door, and let the two men in.
The two people who came in were about thirty, don't look at the age is not very big, but the strength is there, one of them is called Gao Yang is a member of the Yanjing Antique Collection Association, although not to talk about cultural relics identification experts, but it is not too much, specializing in jade identification, I heard that his net worth of tens of millions of assets are all obtained by gambling jade. The other person is named Xu Sen, and his family is in the jade business, well, to be precise, it should be in the nephrite jade business, not including jadeite, and his eyesight was also practiced with his father in the gambling jade market.
Listening to Yan Wanru, both of them are very powerful.
Everyone nodded to each other and said hello, and Yan Wanru invited someone to sit down, "Everyone has arrived, let's discuss the itinerary?" ”
Jiang Yan said first: "Tianning Temple antique market is the most famous, let's go to Tianning Temple first?" ”
Xu Sen smiled bitterly: "That was before, the market in Tianning Temple moved a few years ago, I heard that it was broken up, and it was moved to a flower, bird, fish and insect market, although it is now rectified, but the popularity is not very good, it has been deserted since it opened, and it is okay on Saturday and Sunday, I estimate where I went, and there is nothing good to exchange." ”
I said, "That's not necessarily, as long as the stone is good, it doesn't matter how popular he is." ”
Gao Yang said on the side: "It's all related, the popularity is high, the supply is sufficient, and the new seed material will flow more, otherwise it is the remaining materials that have been accumulated all year round, and it is difficult to produce good jade, well, since I came to Yangzhou, I recommend going to Hongyuan Market or Wenchang Parkway to see, it is still good there." ”
Xu Sen lit a cigarette, "Then go to the Red Garden first." ”
Yan Wanru glanced at the cigarette he lit, "Hehe, there are pregnant women here." ”
Xu Sen sighed, quickly snuffed out the cigarette butt, and smiled apologetically at Zou Yue'e: "I'm sorry, it's easy to smoke." ”
"It's okay." Zou Yue'e smiled and looked at Yan Wanru, "Where do you say to go?" ”
Yan Wanru thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I came to Yangzhou once in the first year, and I gambled with Hongyuan on a piece of mountain and water materials, which is not bad, why don't you go to Hongyuan first?" Anyway, we are not in a hurry to go back, go to a few more places, it is really not possible to run to Nanjing, there will always be a harvest. ”
Yuan Yazhen looked at me with a straight face: "Do you want to go to Tianning Temple?" ”
I said, "Wenchang Parkway is also fine." ”
Yan Wanru smiled helplessly, "Yes, this hasn't started yet, everyone's opinions are not unanimous, I think it should be otherwise, anyway, if we are ten people piled up together in a stall, we can't gamble together, buy together, then it is better to divide into two groups and act separately, well, here Xu Sen and Gao Yang are experts in gambling jade, let them lead a team and help everyone choose stones?" "I understand that Sister Yan brought Sister Hong Mansha and them to Yangzhou this time, not just to make money for herself, Sister Yan wants to help her friends and make a fortune with her friends.
Gao Yang waved his hand speechlessly, "Teacher Yan, are you two of us?" ”
Xu Sen also said: "Yes, although we are one or two years older than you, when it comes to looking at antiques and stones, it is not a grade, Wanru, don't be modest, others don't know that we don't know, when you were in high school, you relied on gambling jade to make a fortune, and you went to Xinjiang Province with more than 500,000 yuan, and brought back more than 10 million, right?" And I haven't missed much yet, almost all of them have gone up. ”
Yan Wanru shook her head: "It's not that exaggerated, it was just luck that time." ”
Xu Sen laughed: "Anyway, I'm going to borrow your light this time, let Lao Gao lead a team, I'll follow Wanru, she has to help me choose a few stones." ”
Gao Yang said depressedly: "That's what I plan." ”
Yan Wanru touched her head in embarrassment and glanced at me: "That...... Why don't we be together? ”
I said, "It's okay, I'll take a team." ”
Yan Wanru was stunned, patted her forehead and said with a smile: "I forgot, Xiaojing is also a master of gambling stones." ”
Gao Yang and Xu Sen looked at me suspiciously.
I put the checkbook and the things I was going to bring into my purse and stood up, "Who's going to follow me all the way?" As soon as the words fell, Yuan Yazhen stood up and walked to me without thinking, it was obvious that Sister Yuan believed in me more than Yan Wanru and Xu Sen. I call this a moved, my heart said that it is better to Sister Yuan, and it is clear that she wants to go with Yan Wanru and Xu Sen, with the experience and vision of several of them in the gambling jade industry, it may not be very easy to make a lot of money, but it is really difficult to lose money, unless you are unlucky. But Yuan Yazhen chose me, what kind of trust is this?
Then, the few people who were sitting there were no more to speak.
When I saw that Zou Yue'e didn't move, I was immediately angry as if I was something, "...... Just the two of us? ”
Zou Yue'e saw that my face was not good-looking, so she explained with a smile: "Jing, it's not that I don't believe in your eyesight, the money of the two of us is in a passbook, and it doesn't make sense for me to go with you, it's better to turn around and let her choose a few good materials for us, hehe, this is called maximizing benefits." "Damn, that's a nice thing to say, aren't you still more optimistic about Yan Wanru's eyesight?
I glared at her, and then turned my gaze to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan snorted and said tactfully: "What do you think I'm doing?" Ahem, mirror, I heard that this is your first time betting on jade? ”
But no, I've gambled on bloodstone and jadeite, but I haven't gambled on Hetian jade.
Fei Xiaohong was more direct, "Wanru, you have to choose the best one for me later, I brought two million out this time, but it's all up to you." ”
I wanted to kick her to death, exhaled, and looked at Xi Mansha viciously.
Teacher Xi was startled by my fierce eyes, his neck shrunk, he gritted his teeth, and walked over reluctantly.
I hummed in satisfaction, "Let's go, let's go?" ”
Yan Wanru looked at us, "Jing, gambling on jade and gambling on stones are not the same thing, you are alone...... Well...... Or I'll be with you today, and I'll be with you tomorrow ......."
I interrupted, "It's okay, I'll do it alone." After a pause, I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I saw everyone looking at me with suspicion, "Don't look at me like that, okay?" I don't know who got back the good material, by the way, let's compare it, let's not sell the gambling stones on the spot, take them all back to the hotel, and see who of our two groups of stones is more valuable, which group of people loses, which group of people invite guests to dinner, how about it? ”
Jiang Yanxu thought I was angry, "Damn, I'll go with you." ”
"I don't need to." I snorted, "That's it, let's go." ”
The strength of our two teams is obvious, Yan Wanru is an expert in the national character generation, who entered the Palace Museum, Xu Sen and Gao Yang are masters of playing jade, and live by this, well, not to mention them, even Jiang Yan, Zou Yue, and Fei Xiaohong also have some understanding of Hetian Yu to a greater or lesser extent. Look at me again, I haven't gambled on jade at all, half a layman, and Xi Mansha or Yuan Yazhen, that's a pure layman, and the layman doesn't even know what Hetian jade is. This strength gap, then don't mention it again.
However, who said that a layman can't gamble on good jade?
When I went to Lin'an to gamble on bloodstone, I was hundreds of times more layman than now.
Tianning Temple Antique Market.
As soon as I entered, I was afraid that people who didn't know would think that they had entered the casino.
The shopkeepers and stall owners gathered together, chatting and playing cards, and shouting endlessly.
"Ten straight flushes!"
"Haha, win, win!"
It's not a weekend, and the market is a little deserted, with just a few people wandering around the stalls, picking out their favorite things. At a glance, copper inkstone, bamboo carved pen holder, Hui ink, bloodstone, Jingtai Bluetooth box, jade bracelet, agate Buddha's hand, Seiko copper abacus, silver padlock, white jade buckle pendant, porcelain vases and clay pots of different shapes, it is simply all-encompassing, everything.
"Why don't you have a jade rough stone?" Yuan Yazhen frowned and looked at Zhou.
I closed my eyes and recalled what I had seen in my previous life, and pointed to the east side, "Over there." ”
After turning two corners, I came to a new area, and I saw large pieces of Hetian jade rough stones, some of which were piled up on the ground very casually, or crooked or upside down, as if selling Chinese cabbage, and some small materials were neatly stacked on the cloth sheet, and the skin was wiped clean.
It's a little more popular here than the one who entered the door.
Squeak, squeak, and the noise of the cutter also rushed in front of you.
This picture made my heart ripple with a sense of familiarity, I didn't rush to find the material, but took Yuan Yazhen and Xi Mansha to walk around this large shop stall area first, while familiarizing myself with the environment, while taking out the book I had prepared for more than ten days, and smearing it on the lower position of the colorful Hetian jade painting on it, visiting this place reminded me a lot, such as a few or forgot or misremembered store names, and now they have also made up.
When I was done, I exhaled and put my pen away.
Yuan Yazhen suddenly grabbed my hand and looked at a stall with a tense face, "Why are such big jade materials thrown on the ground, it seems to be worthless?" ”
I blinked at her hand, coughed, and got closer to her, "Hetian jade and jade are the same, the bigger the more valuable, but the angular jade you see is Hetian jade mountain material, the size is large, and most of them have traces of artificial cutting or **explosion, although the value is also good, but after all, it can't be compared with Hetian jade seed material, and even the material of mountains and rivers can't be compared." ”
Yuan Yazhen held my hand and tightened it slightly, and asked, "Seeds?" ”
I nodded, pointing to a stall diagonally opposite: "I saw that no, a piece of small stone like the kind is the seed material, no edges and corners, there are different colors of the skin outside, although the size is not as big as the mountain material, but the value is much higher than the mountain material, let's bet on the jade this time, the bet is this kind of seed material, hehe, just the size of this stone piece of seed material, if the skin color is better, people dare to ask you for hundreds of thousands, if it is a head bigger, more than ten centimeters high, people dare to ask you millions, outrageously expensive." ”
Yuan Yazhen sighed lightly.
I sweated and felt a little bit like playing the piano to the cow.
Xi Mansha behind her absentmindedly lowered her head, and her face was a little dejected.
I said, "Teacher Xi, what's wrong?" ”
"Huh?" Xi Mansha came back to her senses, first glanced at my hand that was entangled with Sister Yuan, and her face was hot, "What did you say?" ”
I couldn't help but be a little angry and said, "Do you feel panicked when you come with me?" Yes? ”
"No, not really." Xi Mansha hurriedly waved her hand.
I said, "How much money did you bring with you this time?" ”
Yuan Yazhen said: "I brought 100,000 yuan, and the rest of the money to buy a house." ”
Xi Mansha hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Yanyan brought a lot, my brother-in-law heard that we were going to gamble with Wanru on jade, so he gave Yanyan a million, teacher...... Well...... The teacher didn't bring much, three thousand, which is this month's salary, I, I also said to let Wanru help me choose a stone, and if I earn money, I will return the money for the hospitalization operation to you, but, but ......" She didn't say the latter words.
I rubbed my temples, "Don't worry, since you two are with me and trust me so much, I can't let you suffer, right?" Okay, it's up to me to choose the ingredients, and I'm sure you'll all be millionaires when you go back. ”
Xi Mansha hesitated: "Or ...... Forget it, the teacher won't buy it today. ”
I almost vomited blood: "What are you doing? Wait until tomorrow and let Sister Yan buy it for you? ”
Teacher Xi looked at me cautiously and said nothing.
I suddenly glared and said, "You have to buy it today, you have to buy it if you don't buy it, go, choose the materials with me!" After saying that, I remembered something, stopped and looked at Xi Mansha, and saw that she was also looking at me, so I glanced at Sister Yuan holding my hand out of the corner of my eye, and then winked at Teacher Xi again.
Xi Mansha's face burned, turned her head, and pretended not to understand.
I just dared to scare Teacher Xi, and immediately showed a fierce appearance of wanting to eat people.
Xi Mansha shuddered, looked at us pitifully, hesitantly stretched out her hand, bit her lip, and grabbed my other hand.
Being held by two big beauties left and right, I am so satisfied in my heart, so don't talk about it anymore.
A few of the business buddies around us looked at us with surprised eyes, talking to each other, as if they were wondering about our relationship.
