Chapter 679: Trick Pulling
Meng Shu returned to Comic Island again, and it was already August.
After not returning for more than ten days, the scene of Manga Island has changed, there are many more signs on the road, some beautiful knick-knacks hanging on the trees on the street, and the shops are all dressed up, and you can see some girls in cosplay clothes guiding customers.
The carnival is still a few days away, but at this time, the comic island has already come to a lot of tourists, and tourists can be seen everywhere, and when Meng Huo's car drove past the outside of the office, he also saw the dense crowd in the office through the car and boat.
"This year's carnival is so lively......"
Meng Shu smiled, and after the car stopped outside the Phoenix Building, several bodyguards ran out of the building and escorted him in. Some of the surrounding tourists saw Meng Shu, but they didn't have time to react, so they could only secretly scream that it was a pity.
Unlike the previous times, this time Meng Shu came back during the day, and he did not return to the apartment, but walked towards the office. But when the elevator just arrived on the floor, as soon as the elevator door opened, Meng Shu saw the girl outside.
"Shen Jie, when are you coming back?"
Meng was pleasantly surprised.
"Yesterday, I haven't seen you for a long time, Meng Shu ......" Shen Jie resisted the urge to hug you and replied with a smile on her face. She hadn't seen Meng Shu in months, this was the longest separation in two years, and with Alice's affairs, it was crazy to think about seeing him.
Early this morning, Shen Jie made an excuse to wait in Meng Shu's office, she had worked as a secretary's assistant here before, and the secretary knew it well. I just turned a blind eye. And just now I received news that Meng Shu has arrived. Shen Jie was guarding the elevator door.
If you don't go down to greet you, you will be seen by many people. She might even run to the door of the building*.
"Yesterday? I didn't expect you to come back before me. Meng Shu smiled, then walked out of the elevator and walked towards the office with Shen Jie: "You won't leave during this carnival, right?" ”
"Yes." Shen Jie nodded happily, the carnival was held for several days, and during the period, not to mention her, all the voice actors of Phoenix Company had to be on standby on Comic Island, and Xia Chuan Zhen and Long Xue would also come back one after another in these two days.
"I've seen the new stage. It's beautiful! ”
After Shen Jie came back, in addition to waiting for Meng Shu, she also went to see the Phoenix Pavilion as soon as possible, the stage there was specially set up for them, and it will also be the center for some activities of Phoenix Company in the future, Shen Jie took a look at it on the spot, and she was quite satisfied.
"By the way, what is it?"
On the way to the office, Shen Jie found that the bodyguard behind Meng Shu had been carrying a large box, which did not look like Wen Jiàn. She knew that Meng Huo rarely brought such a big thing, so she couldn't help but be curious.
"Oh. That's it...... Someone else sent it, I'll show it to you later. ”
Meng Shu smiled. Then he said a few words to the secretary at the door of the office, and walked into the office with Shen Jie. Shen Jie took the initiative to pour the tea, while Meng Shu asked the bodyguard to open the box, take out the contents with his own hands, and then put them on the glass table in front of the sofa.
"Isn't this Go?"
Shen Jie came over with tea and knew what this thing was at a glance.
This is a square wooden Go board, Shen Jie put down the tea and curiously moaned it, the texture of the chessboard is delicate and straight, the color is golden and pleasant, and it exudes a faint fragrance. She tapped it with her fingertips, and the sound she made was crisp and moving.
"What a great chessboard, it's hundreds of years old, where did you get this thing?"
Shen Jie was overjoyed, this is a chessboard with a ding tip, and the shape is very simple, there must be a history. This kind of chessboard, which has a history and is so perfect, is generally passed down from generation to generation among powerful Go players, and it is basically impossible to buy it even if you have money.
"You know Go?" Meng Shu was taken aback by Shen Jie's words, he just thought it was beautiful when he first saw this Go board, and he misunderstood it to be a modern work, but he didn't expect Shen Jie to see that it had a history at a glance.
"My grandfather was a Go fan, and I learned to play chess from him." Shen Jie said confidently: "When I was in elementary school, my father took me to the city to participate in a Go competition and won the regional championship...... The players all surrounded me and asked me to learn chess, but my dad said that I couldn't eat chess, so he took me away. ”
Meng was dumbfounded, Shen Jie has really been perverted since she was a child. And what kind of holy spirit is her grandfather, why does Meng Shu always feel that he is the same as a hidden master, in addition to martial arts, ventriloquist and Go can also be.
"Let me ask again, do you know how to play the guqin and write calligraphy?"
Meng Shu asked cautiously, if Shen Jie now said that she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he would not be surprised at all.
"I know how to write calligraphy." Shen Jie nodded, and then moaned his head: "I don't know how to play the piano, although my grandfather wants to teach me, but I couldn't master the strength in my hands when I was a child, and I always broke the strings, and broke several pianos in a row, and my grandfather never let me learn it again." ”
She explained that she did receive education in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when she was a child, but because of learning martial arts, Shen Jie couldn't control her body when she was a child, and she struggled to learn calligraphy, painting, and playing the piano, and finally only learned calligraphy.
However, playing chess does not conflict with her learning martial arts, Shen Jie's Go learning is very good, but her parents think that Go cannot be used as a career, so they did not further their studies in this area.
"How the hell did you get this chessboard?"
After talking about herself, Shen Jie became curious again.
"Someone else sent it."
Meng Shu said with a smile, this chessboard was a gift from the director of Muto in the Far East District, and they had dinner together at noon that day, although Meng Shu did not agree to draw Go, but Muto thought that he was still young, even if he didn't draw now, he would have a chance in the future.
So he gave Meng Huo a precious chessboard, which is an investment, if Meng Huo can use it to learn and like to play chess, then maybe one day he can change his mind, and then the investment in this chessboard will be effective.
"I didn't want to accept it, but when I saw these chess pieces, ......" Meng Shu took out the chess pieces again and said, "They are so beautiful, I will accept them." ”
Shen Jie rarely saw Meng Shu say that something was beautiful, she looked at the chess pieces, and her eyes lit up again: "Yunzi!" ”
"What Yunzi?"
"That's what these chess pieces are called, these are good chess pieces." Shen Jie picked up a chess piece and put it on the chessboard, making a sound like a pearl falling on the jade board, she was a little excited: "Ding's pointed chessboard and chess pieces, it's my first time, I'll see what history is not ......."
She suddenly took the chess pieces again, lifted the board and looked at the bottom, and then stopped.
"What's down there?"
Meng Huo was confused, he hadn't looked at the bottom of the chessboard yet.
Shen Jie's breathing seemed to become a little short, she observed for a while before putting down the chessboard, and then said with a solemn face: "There is information about its first owner under this chessboard, Meng Shu, I think you better return this chessboard......"
"What's wrong?"
Meng Shu frowned, then took the chessboard and looked down, there was no word below, but there was a strange seal carving, the age was very long, this carving was not very obvious, the text on it was in traditional Chinese, Meng Shu didn't see what the words were, but Shen Jie continued to speak.
"This is the Imperial Chessboard, and the logo below symbolizes that it was specially made for a certain emperor......" she paused, then continued: "Although I don't know if the emperor used him, this kind of chessboard is generally collected by the National Museum of Cultural Relics, and it is rarely circulated outside. ”
"There is only one possibility that this kind of imperial chessboard is circulated outside is that the emperor gave it to the chess player, among the chess players in the entire Go world, there will be no more than ten chessboards that can compare to this, each of which is a national treasure with a sky-high price, and there was a similar chessboard auction ten years ago, which sold for 100 million Chinese coins......"
Listening to Shen Jie's explanation, Meng Yu almost dropped the chessboard with trembling hands.
"Damn, this is a national treasure?" He suddenly felt that the things in his hand were so heavy, 100 million Huaxia coins was nothing, but when it came to historical value, the weight of this chessboard was obviously not something that money could measure.
"Trick pulling?"
Meng Shu suddenly found that he underestimated the Go world too much, and their skills in giving money were obviously higher than others! (To be continued......)
