Chapter 49 Transactions

"Great tea." Li Su changed back to Chinese and sighed. Smacked his lips and poured himself another glass.

Lin Fenglong was not much happy because of his praise, and still stood in place with a guarded face. "Are you here for tea?"

"Nope." Li Su took a sip of tea, "I want to learn about the 'Summer Mourning' incident that once happened." He put the teacup back on the tea table, and the sound of celadon clashing was crisp and pleasant, echoing in the old house for a long time.

Li Su sat straight on the bench made of rough carved wooden stakes, and Lin Fenglong stood quietly by the door, neither of them spoke, so they were deadlocked.

After being silent for a long time, Li Su sighed and got up. "Looks like I don't want to say it."

"So you're going to kill me?" Lin Fenglong's eyes were flushed with magnificent gold, and he stared straight at Li Su who got up, his voice hoarse.

"No, I'm civilized." Li Su took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the old man. "But I'm sure Hilbert Jean Angers will be of great interest to you, Mr. Lin Fenglong."

Hearing this long-lost name, Lin Fenglong's pupils tightened suddenly. He was silent for a moment, grabbed the bulging paper bag and threw it over. "Five million two hundred thousand dollars, all my current fortune to buy your silence."

Li Su took the paper bag and put it on the tea table. "I'm sure Angers can offer a higher price."

Lin Fenglong breathed a sigh of relief slightly, saying this means that the other party is willing to trade. "What about antiques? It's not something Angers can afford. I've been a bit of a collector over the years. ”

"I don't understand what you're playing, in my opinion, an ancient inkstone is not as valuable as a mobile phone." Li Su shrugged. "The only price I accept is your identity in Summer Mourning...... Or, is there a game of Go? Li Su suddenly thought of something.

Lin Fenglong thought about it. "If it is not complete, the chess pieces are easy to lose, and the value of antiques will be much worse once they are incomplete, so there are very few people who collect Go. I have a better one though. Lin Fenglong walked into the room around the red sour branch screen, and after a while, walked out holding a black box.

Seeing this, Li Su was not in a hurry to leave, and sat back on the old stump of Nadun, Lin Fenglong sat beside him tremblingly, and gently opened the lid of the box.

The bottom of the black box was covered with a thin layer of silk of the same color, on which lay two chess pieces quietly.

Li Su showed a look of surprise. The two chess pieces, one black and one white, took out the white one and looked at it carefully.

The chess pieces are very different from the general ones, not one drum and one side flat but two sides flat, more special is that the middle of the chess pieces is hollowed out, the whole looks like a copper coin, the flat two sides are carved with fine patterns, it is the Oriental dragon, the majesty is sufficient.

"The old thing of the Ming Dynasty, Hetian jade, from the holy hand of Zhuoyu, Lu Zigang." Lin Fenglong picked up the other one and faced the sun, and the edge of the chess piece actually had a transparent texture, shining slightly in the sun.

This style first appeared in the Song Dynasty, when porcelain chess pieces with two sides were flat, and then some people printed patterns on both sides of the chess pieces before sintering, like movable type printing. When it came to Emperor Jiajing, the emperor liked Go very much, so he ordered people to find a good set of Go. Lin Fenglong sighed and handed the sunspot to Li Su. Later, someone suggested that Lu Zigang should be asked to make a pair, and the emperor agreed. However, Lu Zigang has always had the particularity of 'jade color is not beautiful, jade quality is not good, jade is not good, jade is not good', and it took a lot of time just to collect homogeneous jade, so he only finished cutting a few pieces before he was executed by Emperor Jiajing. ”

Li Su took the sunspot and looked at it, the sunspot was carved with a phoenix with wings, small and exquisite, lifelike. The center is likewise hollowed out.

"Because Hetian jade belongs to corundum, it is too hard, so no jade craftsman dares to take over his class, and the carved dozen or so pieces have become unique products and are scattered among the people. I've only collected this pair for decades, and the others should have disappeared long ago. ”

Lin Fenglong picked up the two chess pieces from Li Su's hand and put them back in the box. "How about this thing shut you up?"

"Yes, but with a problem." Li Su thought for a while and said. "The goods...... Did you do it on purpose? ”

"And then judge by my answer whether to accept the gift or to take me back?" Lin Fenglong narrowed his eyes. "The abacus is so beautiful."

"Nope." Li Su put on a straight face, "If you don't say it, I won't say it." I'm just judging from your answers: I can't save you after you've been caught by Ange. ”

"Why should I trust you?"

"On my credit. I'm not like that *** scoundrel guy at Framel, I'm pretty trustworthy. ”

Lin Fenglong was stunned, "Flammel....... You even know him? Who are you? ”

"It's just an ordinary passerby." Li Su sat up straight again. "Promise a word or not, there are still people who can't hide their micro-expressions when they lie, I don't recommend you to lie."

"What am I lying? You've promised me to keep it a secret. Lin Fenglong sighed softly. I was also scammed. ”

"Then why don't you go back to the secret party?" Li Su asked.

"Okay, just answer one question." Lin Fenglong closed the lid and handed the black box to Li Su. "I have my reasons."

"Okay." Li Su took the black box and got up to leave. "Let's put two more red ropes."

"You're all going to take it all together, and I can't do business anymore?" Lin Fenglong spread his hands. "Fifty yuan a piece, love to buy it or not."

"You profiteer." Li Su scolded with a smile, took out a hundred yuan and slapped it on the table.

It was already noon when I walked out of the glass factory, and the sun was high in the sky. Li Su leaned against the shadow of the cornices and dialed his girlfriend's phone.

"Come out to eat together? That old noodle shop? All right. Hanging up the phone, Li Su took out two chess pieces from the box and held them in the palm of his hand for a long time, until they were a little warm before putting them back on the smooth silk.

Kotono wiped her mouth with a tissue. Put your hands together. "I'm full."

Then she looked at Li Su, who was eating the second bowl of noodles. "Xiaotangshan Hospital, Wardland Amusement Park, Shougang, Kaiping Coal Mine...... Where is it today? ”

After Li Su finished eating the last bite of noodles, he also wiped his mouth with a tissue. "I still have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't go to play."

"Huh?" Kotono was very surprised. "You played for five days before you remembered that there was still a mission?"

"yes, I'm a little sluggish." Li Su hesitated for a moment. "And ...... The day after tomorrow, the farther away the Celebration Building, the farther the better. ”

"You make me more curious when you say that......." Kotono pouted.

"I'm serious." Li Su looked her straight in the eye. "That's not a battlefield you can enter, you're there to distract me."

After staring at each other for a while, Kotono was defeated, "Okay, okay, I promise you." ”

"My girl is so good." Li Su chuckled, took out a black box, opened it and took out the sunspot. The sunspot had already been worn on a red thread, and Li Su held a thread in one hand and stretched it behind Kotono's smooth neck, tied a thin knot, and sat back in place. Kotono picked up the chess piece that hung on her chest and looked at it.

"A gift for you, do you like it?"

"Hmm." Kotono nodded, gently rubbing the uneven lines of the chess pieces.

"Goodbye then." Li Su stood up and walked to the nearest subway station, waving his hand to signal that Qin Nai was reassured.
