"You say you're so ambitious, then let me ask you, how much do you have in savings now?" Liu Lao asked with a smile.

"Almost fifteen million." Chu Chen scratched his head and replied.

"Oh, I didn't expect Xiao Chu to still be a rich man, since you have so much money, how can you still be called ambitious, so let's do it, I'll help you ask about the house, but if there is any, I don't dare to guarantee it as an old man!" Liu Lao said while drinking tea.

After Chu Chen heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and expressed his gratitude to Liu Lao again and again. He may be able to buy villas or courtyards in other places, but like Liu Lao, a villa area that is not rich or expensive, with his connections, it is really impossible to buy it, and now Liu Lao can help him with it, which is really helpful.

Liu Lao waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't thank you yet, we have to say another thing if it doesn't work out, let's continue what happened just now." ”

Although Liu Lao said this, Chu Chen believed that this kind of thing was not a piece of cake for Liu Lao, and then he smiled and said: "Liu Lao, let me prepare first, I still have to make a basin of water to see this thing." ”

Liu Lao nodded in agreement, but Chu Chen's actions also raised his interest.

After a while, Chu Chen returned to the house with a basin of water, this time he listened to what Uncle Wu said before, and deliberately took a small basin. But when he took out the jade cicada and was about to put it in the water, Liu Lao suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Xiao Chu, wait, show me the things in your hand first!"

Chu Chen was a little surprised by Liu Lao's reaction, and handed the jade cicada to Liu Lao's hand.

After Liu Lao took the jade cicada, he fell into contemplation, and waited for a while before he lifted the red jade cicada, observed it carefully, and then sighed and said to Liu Qinshu who was standing on the side: "Xiao Shu, you go and get a glass." ”

Then, Liu Lao saw Chu Chen's strange expression, smiled and said, "Xiao Chu, are you curious that I will be so excited to see this jade cicada?" If I'm not mistaken, it's a reborn jade cicada, right? ”

Chu Chen was stunned when he heard this, judging from Liu Lao's reaction, he should be no stranger to the reborn jade, so he asked with some surprise: "Old Liu, this is indeed a reborn jade cicada, have you ever seen the reborn jade before?" ”

Liu Lao smiled a little bitterly and said, "Of course I have seen it, and I have owned one before." ”

At this time, Liu Qinshu came in with a glass, and after Liu Lao took it, he scooped a little water from the basin, and then said: "We'll talk about my affairs later, now let's take a look at the magical place of this jade cicada." ”

The jade cicada was put into the cup, and in an instant, the water soaked the entire jade cicada, and only a touch of red was seen, which immediately gushed out of the jade cicada, so that the water in the cup was instantly dyed red.

Gradually, the water became more and more red, and the whole cup of water turned blood red, and at this time, looking at the jade cicada inside, it was a little shining, giving people a beautiful feeling.

"What's going on!" Originally, Liu Qinshu, who was still a little unknown, was immediately surprised when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but come to the cup and look at it intently.

At this time, Qian Lao was also very excited, looking at the scene in his eyes, his bright eyes became very shiny, and he shouted from time to time.

"It's amazing! I'm not dreaming! ”

Liu Qinshu said in amazement, his face was full of shock and disbelief: "Dad, is this the kind of reborn jade you said before." ”

"That's right, it's the reborn jade!"

Liu Lao nodded heavily, and then said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, I, I also had a piece of reborn jade cicada before, but the color is not so red, and the quality is not as good as your jade cicada, do you want to ask, where is my piece of reborn jade?" I'm telling you, ruined! ”

"Huh?! How could it be ruined? When Chu Chen heard Liu Lao's answer, he couldn't help but be surprised, how could such a precious thing be destroyed?

Then, Liu Lao said with some sadness: "Yes, it's ruined!" Speaking of which, it was all my own problem, I was in my twenties at the time, and at that time, I was very lucky, and it was common to pick up leaks. Now that I see Xiao Chu's luck, I think of when I was young, and I feel really kind. ”

Speaking of which, Chu Chen and Liu Qinshu were a little stunned, no wonder Liu Lao would take a special fancy to himself (Xiao Chu), it turned out that there was such a factor.

"At that time, by chance, I also got a small piece of reborn jade, and I was excited for a while, showing off everywhere. Just like Xiao Chu, every time someone looks at it, he puts a basin of water in it, so that everyone can enjoy it, and when he sees the amazed appearance of others, he is still complacent."

Speaking of this, Liu Lao sighed: "At that time, I didn't think at all, the red color in this jade is not that it will not be lost, once, there were many people who saw it, so I put the jade in a big vat, and you will know the result." ”

When Chu Chen heard this, he looked at the jade cicada in the cup with some trepidation, but he thought of another question, so he asked: "Old Liu, I heard a saying that the reason why the reborn jade is formed is related to the long-term play of people and the infiltration of blood and qi, so if your piece of jade is played for a long time, won't it be recovered?" ”

Liu Lao clapped his hands and said: "Although there is no fixed number for the formation of reborn jade, your statement is also reasonable. It's just that we didn't understand the reborn jade at the beginning, and I was sad that I accidentally gave it to it?? This incident is the biggest regret of my life. ”

Seeing Liu Lao's sad appearance, Liu Qinshu hurriedly asked Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, do you have any intention of transferring this reborn jade cicada?" ”

Chu Chen also understood her feelings, but this request did make him very embarrassed, but at this time, Liu Lao said with some seriousness: "Xiao Shu, your request is a bit unreasonable, if it were you, would you be willing to transfer it?" Spread it out, and you can't say that I rely on the old and sell the old? ”

Seeing this, Chu Chen hurriedly said, "Old Liu, don't be angry, Aunt Liu just said this because she cares about you too much." ”

And Liu Qinshu also bowed his head in time and admitted his mistake.

Liu Lao waved his hand and said, "Okay, Xiao Shu, I also understand what you mean, but a person's life cannot be perfect, and if you miss it, you will miss it." Xiao Chu's jade cicada is good, but in my heart, it still can't compare to the one I got at the beginning. ”

"Old Liu, you are wrong, how can my jade cicada be as good as the piece of reborn jade you got at the beginning, and others won't believe it when you say it!" Speaking of zuihou, Chu Chen also deliberately showed an exaggerated expression on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Lao scolded with a smile: "Xiao Chu, I haven't found out before, you actually shoot so naked." ”

Liu Shuqin next to him was also amused by Chu Chen's exaggerated expression.

Chu Chen laughed for a while, and then said: "Old Liu, I have one more thing to do this time, that is, I want to ask you, what should you pay attention to when playing with the reborn jade plate?" ”

"You really asked the right person about this, after I got that piece of jade, I consulted many classics, and later summarized a set of ways to play with reborn jade."

Next, Liu Lao told Chu Chen about the method of playing with the reborn jade plate he had studied, during which Liu Lao also unexpectedly discovered Chu Chen's terrifying memory, which made him more satisfied with Chu Chen in his heart, and decided in his heart that as long as Chu Chen's character was really fine, he would accept this apprentice.

Chu Chen didn't know this, but he was also very satisfied with today's trip, and he didn't talk about it before, and after that, Liu Lao also checked his knowledge of ceramic identification. And he also had the permission of Liu Lao to look through some of the materials he collected on ceramic identification, and these precious materials could not be found on the market at all.

************************

After returning home from lunch at Liu's hometown, Chu Chen couldn't help cheering. Today's harvest is not small, not to mention the rest, from Liu Lao's attitude towards him, he understands that he is getting closer and closer to the goal of becoming Liu Lao's disciple, and this alone has to make him excited.

Being able to become a disciple of Liu Lao can not only make his antique collection road smoother, but also the key is Liu Lao's identity background, which can make some young people stay away.

Chu Chen's antique career in the past few years has not seen some dark sides. For example, if someone gets a rare treasure, if he doesn't have a certain strength, it may not be a blessing for him, maybe some powerful people will take it by force after learning about it.

This kind of thing, Chu Chen has not heard of it in the past few years. And even if it's not forcible seizure, it's very difficult for you to stay. So he is sometimes very worried that his treasures are getting more and more, and if he is remembered by others, it is really a question whether he can keep these treasures by virtue of his lack of power and power.

If you can become a disciple of Liu Lao, problems like this will be solved. Don't look at Liu Lao, who was only a high-ranking official in the cultural department, but his connections and influence are not low, and I heard that his two sons are not low in power now.

Thinking of this, the mobile phone in his pocket rang.

"Xiao Chu? Where are you now, busy or not? ”

"I'm fine now, I'm at home, Brother Zhao, do you have anything you want me to do? You just command. ”

"It's not a big deal, I'm going to an antique auction in the afternoon, so why don't you go and help me with my eyes?"

"Haode, no problem."

"So, tell me the address of your house, and I'll pick you up right away."

Zhao Qirui came quickly, and after Chu Chen told him the address, he didn't wait for a while, and his car came to Chu Chen's downstairs.
