It was not time to get off work yet, and there were not many people on the air-conditioned bus, so Luo Ping took out the chess piece and looked at it carefully.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this chess piece was not ordinary, but unfortunately he couldn't tell what kind of material this chess piece was made of, and he still had a big question in his heart, this chess piece was intact, so there would be money to run out?

According to his previous experiences, antiques must be damaged in order for him to absorb wealth and distinguish the grade and age. However, this chess piece is intact, and it can even be said that it is in very good condition, with a red oil shine all over it, and it is very cool to touch it. The sliding heel is delicate, which can be described as a good product for viewing and playing.

The more Luo Ping looked at it, the more he loved it, and a happy smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Young man, can you show me this chess piece?"

A voice suddenly came from behind Luo Ping, and when he looked back, an elegant middle-aged man in his fifties was looking at him with a look of hope.

Seeing Luo Ping's puzzled face, the middle-aged man explained with a smile, "Don't get me wrong, I saw that this chess in your hand is very beautiful and I want to appreciate it." ”

The starting point of this bus is near the antique street, so many of the people who take this bus are antique lovers, Luo Ping often sees some people getting together to discuss antiques in this car these days, so this person is interested in the chess pieces in his hand, and he doesn't feel abrupt.

He smiled and handed over the chess pieces in his hand, the bus is just such a place, and he doesn't have to worry about being snatched by strangers.

The middle-aged man took the chess piece, thanked him with a smile, looked at it carefully for a while, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Immediately after, he put the chess piece in his hand and flipped it, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and Zuihou also tapped the back of the chess piece twice with his fingers.

"Young man, do you only have this one or do you have a whole deck of this kind of chess pieces?"

The middle-aged man fiddled with the chess for a while, returned the chess to Luo Ping, and asked with a smile.

Luo Ping raised his eyebrows, "Do you recognize?" ”

"Hehe, I can't tell. But if you have a whole pair, can you give it to me, the price is easy to say. ”

Luo Ping looked at the middle-aged man with a smile, staying in Pincixuan these days, he has seen countless people like him, he has nothing to do in the car, and it is a pleasure to tease him.

"Oh, how much can you pay?" Luo Ping looked very interested.

"Hehe, I'll tell you the truth, the old man in the family usually likes to play chess. A few years ago, there was a pair of such chess at home, but later I lost it when I moved, which has always been the biggest regret in the hearts of the elderly. If you're willing to give it to me, I'll make that price. ”

The middle-aged man stretched out five fingers, with a smile on his face, looking determined to win.

"Five hundred?"

"Five thousand!"

Luo Ping looked surprised, "Can this chess match be worth five thousand?" ”

"The old man is old, and we as children also want to do our filial piety. It's hard to see exactly the same thing, and money is secondary. How's it going, young man, can you give it to me? ”

The middle-aged man spoke with emotion and emotion, which was moving. If it had been ten days ago, Luo Ping might have believed him, but now......

"It's a pity!" Luo Ping shook his head, "I only have this one." ”

A true sentence was heard in the ears of a middle-aged man, but he thought that Luo Ping was raising the price, only to see the corners of his eyebrows raised, "Eight thousand, young man, this price is very fair!" ”

"Hehe, you're not afraid to flash your tongue when you speak, I didn't sell someone who bid 50,000 just now, and you want to buy 8,000?"

The car was almost coming to the station, and Luo Ping didn't want to continue to entangle with him, so he put the chess pieces in his pocket and prepared to get out of the car.

"Young man, if you really have a whole pair, the price can be negotiated."

Seeing that Luo Ping was about to get out of the car, the middle-aged man looked very anxious and stood up with him. Luo Ping said secretly, this chess piece seems to have some origin, this person has already seen it, anyway, he has to find someone to understand the situation, it is better to see if he can get something out of him.

After the car entered the station, Luo Ping took the lead in getting off the car, and the middle-aged man followed him with perseverance, and the two of them walked to the side of the woods.

"If you want to buy it so much, you can see where I came from. Then you can talk about it, if you say it well, I can think about it. ”

The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard this, took out a golden hard-shell business card from his pocket and handed it to Luo Ping with both hands.

"Little brother, please don't mind what you said in the car just now. My surname is Xu, a single name is a great word, this time from Xiangcheng is specifically to investigate the antique market here. ”

Luo Ping glanced at the business card, only to see the words "Xiangcheng Tiancheng Investment Company" printed on it, and this person's title is still general manager. He nodded and smiled, "Boss Xu, you are an open person, and I will also give you an account." My family paid a lot of money for this thing, and I wasn't actually going to sell it, mainly to find out what it was. ”

"Hehe, the little brother is a sincere person at first glance." A trace of disappointment swept over the middle-aged man's face, but the smile remained unchanged, "I took a look just now, and the material of your chess piece should be rosewood." Rosewood is rare now, and rosewood with a diameter as thick as a chess piece is even rarer, it is safe to say that it is an old object, as for what era, it is not easy to say. ”

Then, he introduced a little method to Luo Ping to distinguish red sandalwood, which is nothing more than a look, two checks, three smells, four knocks, and five bubbles.

"The biggest difference between the old red sandalwood and the new red sandalwood is that the old red sandalwood does not fade when soaked in water, and it will fall off as soon as the color is rubbed; The new red sandalwood fades after being soaked in water, and the color does not fade when it is soaked...... Brother Luo, I really like your object, as long as you are willing to let it, the price will definitely satisfy you. ”

However, Luo Ping Zuihou still refused him, and when he left, a middle-aged man named Xu Wei told Luo Ping vigorously that if he wanted to make a move in the future, he would be the first to contact him.

"It seems that this chess piece is really a treasure, and if you can put together a whole set, it will definitely be worth it. Xiaoyanzi said that there are many more on the mountain, and I must take some time to see it next time. ”

When he walked into the small building, Luo Ping was still thinking about it. He is now poor and has to save money to participate in Christie's Hong Kong auctions, and since he knows the value of this kind of chess piece, he can't help but be excited.

"Brother Luo, you're back."

As soon as he entered the door, Long Xin greeted him with a smile and helped him bring his slippers. Luo Ping hummed happily, and while changing his shoes, he asked, "There's nothing going on at home today!" ”

"Brother Luo, someone is waiting for you."

Long Xin's words made Luo Ping stunned, and when he looked back, wasn't it, a young woman was sitting on the sofa looking at him, and there was a middle-aged woman standing behind her; At the other end of the sofa, there was a man in his thirties.

The young woman has long hair like a waterfall and is wearing a long dress with flowers on a white background, which is very beautiful, but her face is cold, and no one is close.

"Who are you?" Luo Ping didn't look at the woman much, it was not that the woman was not beautiful, but that the woman who was too beautiful had already become synonymous with danger and trouble in his eyes.

The man stood up and said, "You're Luo Ping, I'm Lei Dong from the Department of Chemistry." ”

"Redon?"

Luo Ping has heard this name, Jiang University won the first prize of the "Challenge Cup" National College Students' Extracurricular Academic Science and Technology Works Competition for the first time this year, which caused a sensation in Jiangcheng, and the team leader was Lei Dong. I didn't expect him to be so young.

"Hello, Mr. Lei!"

"Let me introduce to you, this one is the daughter of Mr. Liu Jinbiao, chairman of Jiangcheng Lijing Real Estate Group, Liu Hongyue. Miss Liu heard that you are a student of Chen Lao and are proficient in repairing famous paintings, so I would like to ask you to do me a favor and repair a painting. ”

Luo Ping became angry when he heard it, and next door to Mahler was this Liu Jinbiao, who was really haunted.

"I'm sorry, I won't redraw."

heard that it was Liu Jinbiao's daughter, Luo Ping was no longer polite to them. He sat down on the sofa with a big grin, picked up the cold water bottle on the coffee table, and poured a few sips.

As if expecting Luo Ping to refuse, Liu Hongyue reached out and took a piece of paper from the middle-aged woman behind her and gently placed it on the coffee table.

"Mr. Luo, this is a check for 100,000 yuan, please help me, this is very important to me."

The meaning of the words was to ask Luo Ping for help, but Luo Ping didn't feel her sincerity, but felt that she might be arrogant, and no matter how she listened to it, she had a tone like an order.

Luo Ping picked up the check, flicked his fingers on it twice, and said, "100,000 yuan, I want it in my dreams!" It's a pity, I don't have the ability to help Miss Liu, please forgive me. ”

With that, he put the check back on the coffee table.
