"Look at my memory." Yu's mother smiled and said, "Your second sister will get married next Saturday." Can you ask the school leader for a leave of absence? Although she didn't want to disturb her son's study, Yu's mother still hoped that Yu Fei could come back, after all, marriage is a major event in life. And Yu Fei's hometown has rules, when a daughter marries, a brother wants to send a relative.

"Second sister is getting married?" Yu Fei said in surprise: "Who is the object?" How do I not know the way? ”

"It was decided when you went back to school." Yu's mother said: "The child is very honest and responsible. ”

"Next Saturday, right? Then I'll go back on Wednesday and I'll be able to help with anything at home. Yu Fei said. He originally wanted to rush back today, but first, he had to go through the enrollment procedures tomorrow, and secondly, he was afraid that his mother would be suspicious.

"No, no, you just need to come back a day early." Yu's mother said again and again: "There are people who are involved in the family, and you can't help when you come back." ”

Putting down the phone, Yu Fei pondered what gifts to bring to the second sister.

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone rang again. Yu Fei also wondered, it is said that he is an idler now, where did he come from so many things?

The call was made by Ye Jianjun.

"Brother Ye, what are you looking for me?" Yu Fei asked with a smile.

"Good thing!" Ye Jianjun said a little mysteriously: "You come to the Tea Club of the Military Club on Shanxi Road now, I am waiting for you here." ”

"Brother Ye, what the hell is going on?" Yu Fei asked.

"What's the wordy? When you come, you will know the way. After Ye Jianjun finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Yu Fei only smiled bitterly.

The door of the tea house is not big but easy to find, and the layout inside is retro and elegant, with a faint fragrance of tea, which makes people have a very peaceful feeling.

Ye Jianjun was in a box, and when Yu Fei knocked on the door and entered, he found that there were two people inside besides Ye Jianjun. One of them Yu Fei knew was Song Xicai, who sold the house to him. Seeing Yu Fei, Lao Song stood up and greeted with a smile: "Why did Brother Yu Fei come now?" Let's wait! ”

The other Yu Fei had never seen it, looking like he was in his forties, but he just smiled and nodded, and did not stand up.

"Yu Feilai, let me introduce you, this is Master Shen, the consultant I specially invited. Old Song, you know, so you don't need to introduce it. ”

Ye Jianjun's introduction to Master Shen's consultant was not detailed, and Yu Fei did not ask in detail.

"This is my little brother, an expert in antique identification." Ye Jianjun patted Yu Fei's shoulder and said.

Hearing Ye Jianjun call Yu Fei an antique appraisal expert, the corners of Master Shen's mouth twitched obviously, with a hint of disdain. He thinks that this is just Ye Jianjun's deliberate elevation of Feifei's identity.

"Brother Ye, you're killing me." Master Shen's expression didn't escape Taifei's eyes, but he didn't care, after all, he was too young, and anyone would feel this way.

"Mr. Shen smiled, I just followed Mr. Dong Dechang to learn appraisal for a few days." Yu Fei said modestly.

Hearing that Yu Fei was a student of Dong Dechang, Mr. Shen showed a clear look, shook hands with Yu Fei, and knew each other.

"Brother Ye, what the hell are you calling me here in a hurry?" Yu Fei sat down and asked.

"Good thing!" Ye Jianjun smiled and said, "Old Song, you come to tell Yu Fei." ”

"Brother Yu Fei, that's the case......" Song Xicai wiped his mouth and said.

Through Lao Song's introduction, Yu Fei learned that Ye Jianjun actually took himself to Pingzhou to gamble on stones.

Although Yu Fei had never gambled on stones, he had heard of some.

Gambling stones were originally called gambling houses, which used jade raw materials (raw stones) to gamble. The original stone is excavated, and the outside is wrapped with a layer of rock shell, what is inside the shell, still no one can say clearly, in today's advanced science and technology, there is no instrument that can detect it, so the industry is called "gambling stone", success depends on luck, just like gambling, lottery.

The history of gambling stones is not very long, probably only became popular in the Qing Dynasty, but it has left many legends. There is a saying in the gambling stone world that "one knife is poor, one knife is rich", "one knife heaven, one knife hell", a stone can make people rich overnight, or it can make people bankrupt overnight and have nothing.

In recent years, with the rise of the jadeite market, there are more and more people who gamble on stones, in addition to the pursuit of money, many people gamble on stones in order to enjoy the thrilling process.

As a result, more than 10 gambling stone markets have been formed in China, and Pingzhou is one of the larger ones, and it is also the only one with a public market.

Ye Jianjun came into contact with gambling stones in a clubhouse in Kyoto and was fascinated at that time. If it weren't for Yu Fei's treasure appreciation conference, I'm afraid he would have flown directly from Kyoto to Pingzhou.

Although it is said to be "gambling", it is also learned, and therefore a profession has been born - gambling stone master. Experienced stone gamblers can judge the quality of jade through the skin of the rough stone, although it may not be all hit, but the probability of gambling is much greater.

Master Shen is the gambling master invited by Ye Jianjun this time, he works in a jewelry store, he is well-known in Kyoto, and he is also quite conceited, and he is not interested in Yu Fei, an "appraisal expert" who is only in his early twenties, and thinks that it is a mutual praise between the children of the gentlemen! Nowadays, rich people always like to draw a few halos on their heads, such as Ye Jianjun, who just collected a few antiques, and claimed to be an expert in collecting them everywhere. I'm afraid that this person named Yu Fei is also this kind of goods.

"Brother Ye, you know the Tao, I don't know how to gamble at all." Yu Fei said with a bitter face that because of the education he received since childhood, Yu Fei was more averse to gambling.

When he was a child, he often heard that someone lost their family because of gambling, and even lost their wives and children! I have also seen neighbor couples quarrel or even divorce because of their husbands' gambling. So, almost instinctively, Yu Fei wanted to refuse.

"Who made you understand? Those who know how to do it are here. Ye Jianjun patted Master Shen on the shoulder and said, "What I fancy is your shit luck!" Yesterday's treasure appraisal conference, I saw it from the beginning to the end, your kid's luck really has nothing to say, what is right! If this gambling stone doesn't make a lot of money. ”

Although Master Shen was invited, "it is difficult for immortals to break an inch of jade." "Even the most senior gambling stone master doesn't dare to say that he will definitely be able to see it. So in the end, it is still luck to look at the gambling stone.

In Ye Jianjun's view, Yu Fei's identification of antiques is pure luck, only Yu Fei knows in his heart that the identification of antiques is because of the help of chaotic qi! But the jade was originally a stone, and it was essentially no different from the "leather shell" wrapped outside, and he didn't dare to guarantee that the chaotic qi could also identify it.

If the chaotic qi is useless, then he really has to gamble on luck like Ye Jianjun.

Speaking of luck, Yu Fei smiled bitterly, since he was a child, he has never even won a five-yuan lottery. The bet didn't even win for a three-year-old. Yu Fei still remembers that when he was a child, there was a two-dollar car draw activity in the county, and adults thought that the children were lucky enough to hold their children to the lottery, not to mention that the winning rate had indeed increased a lot. Yu Fei's father also took Yu Fei to smoke, but he smoked dozens of dollars and didn't even get a pack of laundry detergent! was so angry that his father later found a reason to beat him up! With his "best" luck, gambling on stones is purely looking for death.

But these words are not convenient to say.

Yu Fei could only find an excuse: "Brother Ye, my sister will get married next Saturday, and I may not have time to go to Pingzhou." ”

"It's only Tuesday today, and it's still early next Saturday. Let's go to Pingzhou early tomorrow morning, and we will be back by Saturday at the latest, so we won't delay you. You kid doesn't want to help you Brother Ye, right? Ye Jianjun said.

"Yes, Brother Yu Fei, you can't delay it. I also want to gamble, but without you by my side, I don't know the bottom of my heart. Song Xicai also said beside him. In order to get Yu Fei to agree to marry Pingzhou, the two deliberately exaggerated the role of Fei Fei, which made Mr. Shen's face on the side more and more ugly.

Yu Fei saw that it was not easy to shirk it again, anyway, it was too late. He should have seen it for a long time, and he has already made up his mind, no matter what, he will never get involved! But he didn't know what to say, those gamblers who lost their fortunes in the casino had exactly the same thoughts as Yu Fei before entering the casino.

"Well, I'll go and see for a long time. But to say that in the front, I really don't know anything about gambling stones, Brother Ye, Brother Song, you will listen to Master Shen when you arrive. Yu Fei emphasized again, thought about it and joked: "It's okay to listen to me, but to listen to it the other way around, if I say that I can bet up, I will definitely bet down, and if I don't like it, I can almost bet on it." ”

Yu Fei's words made Ye Jianjun and Song Xicai both laugh, and Master Shen's face also looked a lot better, thinking that Yu Fei, a young man, was also sensible, and knew how many catties and taels he had.
