Hearing the embroidery girl say this, Zhao Daokai laughed: "Haha, so that's the case, I understand." ”

Li Xiangping glanced at Zhao Daokai: "What do you understand?" ”

"I said that why Qin Huai's five uniques are not famous, dare to be a river crab."

Li Xiangping listened to it, but he must admit that Zhao Daokai really got to the point.

Think about Zhao Nian's "Houbanqiao Miscellaneous" was written in the Qing Dynasty, and he listed such a character as Ge Nen as the first of the five uniques of Qin Huai, so you don't even have to think about it, you must know that our country has a tradition of river crabs, which is inherited from the Qin Dynasty, then this book will definitely not escape the fate of river crabs, even if this is just a "memoir of an old driver".

Just when the three of them were standing outside the painting boat and bragging and chatting, at this time, two more beauties in ancient costumes walked out of the painting boat, these two looked slightly younger than the one in front, well, looking at the dress of these two, it was a bit like an ancient maid.

The two "maids" whispered a few words to the embroidered qin girl, and then the beautiful woman in ancient costume who claimed to be embroidered said to Li Xiangping and Zhao Daokai:

"Two gentlemen, you're ready now, why don't you come with me now?"

"Okay, okay."

The three beauties led the way in front, and Li Xiangping and Zhao Daokai were a few steps behind and boarded the painting boat behind.

Looking at the warbler Yanyan who was walking in front, especially at the graceful waist, Li Xiangping touched the dead friend with his arm and laughed in a low voice:

"Okay, Daokai, I have grown, well, today's routine is quite innovative, I like it."

As a sworn friend, of course Zhao Daokai knew what Li Xiangping meant, and when he heard this, Zhao Daokai smiled obscenely, but on the surface, he pretended to be serious:

"What's the routine? Don't give me any crookedness, by the way, I forgot to tell you something, this kind of painting boat, it is a kind of tourism project that the local tourism department has just launched, and it is very formal, so you, don't keep thinking about the set in heaven and earth. ”

Li Xiangping smiled indifferently: "Of course, the routine in heaven and earth back then was nothing more than letting a group of professional players pretend to be amateurs, which made a group of stupid hats rush to it, but today's routine is to let a group of amateurs pretend to be professional players... Hehe, this routine is good, this routine is quite innovative. So don't worry, Daokai, when the time comes, I will definitely play according to the routine, that is, if you want to say that you haven't seen any routine? Are you still afraid that I will make the wrong hand? ”

"You ...... guy"

Zhao Daokai also stared at the curvaceous backs and smiled:

"But then again, I feel that the beautiful woman named Xiuqin just now seems to have a little special look in your eyes. By the way, you happen to be able to play chess too, so it's up to you to wait and see if you can take her down like Ren Lao Shi. ”

"Haha, no, no, Lao Shi is a chess saint, how can I have that ability."

Li Xiangping didn't take Zhao Daokai's words to heart, he came to this place to play today, and if it sounds good, it is called nostalgic Sichun, and to put it mildly, this is actually to drink flower wine.

In the modern society, drinking flowers and wine to play Go has long been outdated, you must know that the next game of Go takes a long time, in the modern fast-paced society, who still has time to play that set?

However, to Li Xiangping's expectations, when he really boarded the painting boat, he really saw a chess set inside, which was a Go set, not a chess set. And this chess set is also placed in a very eye-catching position in the painting boat.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiangping was happy in his heart, and when he thought about it, he was relieved, thinking that since that beauty dared to call it "Xiuqin", then this painting boat had to make a pair of Go pretends

But when Li Xiangping saw the chess set, especially when he saw it a little clearly, his eyes were a little out of it:

"Huh? This chess! ”

Hearing Li Xiangping's low exclamation, Zhao Daokai didn't know why: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Xiangping didn't answer immediately, but stared at the chess set seriously for a few seconds before he spoke:

"It's nothing, I just feel that this chess deck is a little special, hehe! It's interesting, this boat is kind of interesting. ”

Hearing Li Xiangping say this, Zhao Daokai also pretended to look at the chess set, but he couldn't see the reason, so he whispered to Li Xiangping:

"Except that it looks a little quaint, it doesn't feel anything special."

Li Xiangping laughed in a low voice:

"I don't know the goods, this is a typical Chinese chess set, especially that chessboard, an authentic catalpa."

"Catalpa? Chinese chess sets? ”

Li Xiangping glanced at him: "You can't blame you if you don't understand this, after all, the current popular ones on the market are devil goods, and most people also regard Japanese-style chess sets as authentic, such as the old man in my family, some time ago, he got a Japanese-style wooden plate, and he was so happy that he was like something, and he called friends to show off there every day." In fact, what he doesn't know is that the real Chinese chess set, especially the real catalpa, that is the real chessboard treasures, the forced grid is much higher than the devil's goods, the production of the chessboard has the so-called one catalpa and two maw, and the piece in front of him seems to be the real catalpa. ”

"Yikes! So powerful? ”

Zhao Daokai first exclaimed, and then he continued: "I seem to have heard of this name, but how come I have never seen this thing on the market?" ”

Li Xiangping nodded: "It's normal that you haven't seen this, because the production process of this kind of chessboard has been lost in the Ming Dynasty, so the catalpa that still exists is extremely rare, although I heard that there are people who have resumed the development of this kind of chessboard, but the imitation is an imitation after all, and the real catalpa is still not the same." ”

"Why is that?"

Li Xiangping glanced at him: "You should have heard of the "Diancui" of Liyuan Xing, "Diancui" has also been lost now, and the loss of the catalpa is actually the same as the loss of "Diancui". ”

Zhao Daokai suddenly realized: "So that's the case." ”

Listening to Li Xiangping's explanation, Zhao Daokai naturally understood that the loss of "Diancui" is not because of how complicated the production process is, but because the kingfisher used to make "Diancui" is almost extinct.

In modern times, it is very difficult to find the catalpa wood that can be used to make the catalpa, and it is even more difficult to find it than the small Japanese oak, so even if this process is restored, it is difficult to make a real catalpa.

"Then you say that this piece is not a real catalpa.......

At this time, Zhao Daokai didn't know what he remembered, he looked at the piece of catalpa and suddenly said to Li Xiangping:

"I heard you mention Uncle Li just now, hehe, I suddenly remembered that Uncle Li's birthday seems to be next month, right?"

Hearing this, Li Xiangping's heart moved, and he knew the meaning of the strings when he heard the sound of the strings, he and Zhao Daokai glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

Li Xiangping approached the catalpa table, and at the same time sighed in his heart, he said in his heart that he did not forget to be filial piety when drinking flower wine, and remembered to buy gifts for his old man, so no matter what he said, he could be called a "good Chinese gentleman".

After approaching the chessboard, Li Xiangping lowered his head and carefully observed the chessboard. After he saw it completely, Li Xiangping's expression became serious, and he whispered to Zhao Daokai:

"Daokai, tell me honestly, this painting boat, and the embroidered piano girl, what is their origin?"

"What's wrong?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this chessboard.... This chessboard, which is supposed to be a real catalpa, is not a modern imitation, and seems to be the legendary ......"

"Ahh Is this still a real antique? ”

Before Li Xiangping finished speaking, he only heard the first half of Li Xiangping's sentence, and Zhao Daokai was already energetic.

Because Li Xiangping told him just now, the real catalpa has been lost in the Ming Dynasty, if this piece is true, then this is at least an antique before the Ming Dynasty.

But how could a real antique be found in this place?

According to what Zhao Daokai just said, this painting boat is just a tourism project that has just been developed by the local tourism department---- when has the domestic tourism department been so extravagant? Still using real antiques as props? Anyway, no matter whether others believe it or not, Zhao Daokai himself will definitely not believe it.

Only then did Zhao Daokai remember the second half of Li Xiangping's sentence: "By the way, what did you just say, what is the legendary piece?" ”

Li Xiangping ignored him, and he took out a magnifying glass from his pocket as if he were playing tricks, and then picked up the magnifying glass to carefully observe the chessboard.

When Zhao Daokai saw Li Xiangping's appearance, he smiled: "Yo, yes, Xiangping, now I still carry a magnifying glass with me.... Oh yes, Uncle Li is letting you take care of that antique construction company now......"

Li Xiangping still ignored him, and continued to take a magnifying glass to watch carefully, his surprise became more and more intense, and he straightened up after looking at it for a while, and let out a long breath:

"You can't be wrong, it's like the legendary one."

"Huh? What the hell are you trying to say? ”

Li Xiangping looked at Zhao Daokai: "Although you are a stinky chess basket, you should have heard of "Danghu Ten Games". ”

Zhao Daokai was angry: "I still know where your broken name came from, what do you mean?" ”

Li Xiangping ignored him, stared at the chessboard for a while, and then said word by word:

"If I didn't see it, the chessboard in front of me should be the chessboard that Fan Shi used when he played the "Danghu Ten Games". ”

"Huh?! Silk....! ”

Hearing Li Xiangping say this, Zhao Daokai was speechless, and he gasped. Indeed, if Li Xiangping didn't say nonsense, then this breath of cool air is certainly worth breathing.

Just, is this possible?

Neither of them spoke for a while, Li Xiangping and Zhao Daokai looked at each other there, and when the two came back to their senses, they turned their eyes to other places at the same time, looking for the beautiful woman named Xiuqin.

It should be said that the two of them are reacting normally now, and if they want to solve this mystery, the most direct way at the moment is, of course, to ask the beautiful woman who claims to be embroidered qin.

At this time, the beautiful woman named Xiuqin came over with a smile:

"Two gentlemen, you're ready, can you sail now?"

Looking at the beauty in front of him, Li Xiangping stabilized his mind and warned himself not to be impatient, anyway, everything must be asked clearly.

Coincidentally, it suddenly started to rain outside. Li Xiangping's heart moved, and he smiled and said to the embroidered girl:

"Yuzi Catalpa all the way, the most suitable eaves rain bamboo Xiaoxiao, that line, now please embroider the piano girl to sail."
