Chapter 68: Boss Lu of Drunken Stone Hall
Chapter 68 Drunken Stone Hall 61 Boss Lu
——————————————————————————————————————
"This is it?" I asked.
Zhang Hefang nodded and walked in with me and Bu Jin.
I heard Zhang Hefang say that his friend named Lu Lin is a person who does antique business, plus the door plaque of the drunken stone hall at the door, I thought at first that there would be a big counter when I entered here, and the walls were surrounded by shelves of some visiting goods, which were full of all kinds of antique treasures. However, when I actually walked into the small shop, I realized that my previous assumptions were completely wrong.
It's not so much an antique shop as it is a small teahouse. Naturally, there is a counter, but there are no other decorations in the counter except for a few jade plaques with very ugly styles.
Walking inside, there was a bead curtain at the door, and Zhang Hefang gently opened it, making a tinkling sound.
Through the beaded curtain, there was the counter in front of us, and behind the counter stood a young man who looked to be in his twenties and had a beautiful face.
As soon as he saw Zhang Hefang come in, he nodded at him politely and politely as if he had seen some acquaintance, and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are here." ”
Zhang Hefang didn't put on a show, and asked the young man, "Is Boss Lu here?" ”
The young man nodded and said politely, "In the back room." ”
"He's busy?" Zhang Hefang asked.
The young man nodded and said, "I'm identifying a landscape painting from the Yuan Dynasty." ”
Zhang Hefang nodded, oh, then turned his head to me and said, "Mr. Fan, Miss Long, let's wait for a while, Boss Lu generally doesn't want to be disturbed by others when he is working." ”
I nodded, so I walked to a simple mahogany chair on the side, and just wanted to sit down, when suddenly a deep voice came from the back room, saying, "Brother Zhang, what are you polite to me, please come in." ”
Zhang Hefang glanced at me, smiled, and said, "Then let's go in and have a look together." ”
I nodded, followed Zhang Hefang's footsteps through the counter, and walked into the room behind the counter. I thought that there might be some antique calligraphy and paintings in this room, as if it were an antique shop, but I was disappointed that there was still nothing in the gift display. It's just that it's a little bigger.
The furnishings are all wooden, and there is also a large table on which a two-meter-long ink landscape painting is spread. Standing at the table was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a bright face, bright eyes, and a smile in his eyes. I guess he must be the so-called Boss Lu.
Boss Lu looked up and saw Jiang Zhang Hefang walking in, so he took off the gold-rimmed glasses on his face, walked towards us generously and politely, and said while shaking hands with Zhang Hefang: "Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for some days." ”
After Boss Lu walked towards us, I saw that there was a small Buddha shrine-like thing behind him, and there were three statues of gods in it.
Boss Lu was born with an admirable temperament, his demeanor was generous and decent, and his tone was soothing Chen Jing, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a leader who could make a big difference, who would have thought that such an unannoying person would do such an antique business.
When Zhang Hefang saw Boss Lu, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he also walked to Boss Lu's side enthusiastically to shake hands with him, and said politely: "Boss Lu, I'm really sorry, these days are a bit busy. ”
Boss Lu smiled heartily and said, "Or is it for the Southern Witch Ceremony?" ”
I was somewhat surprised to hear this. Zhang Hefang once told me before that Boss Lu was a complete outsider, but I didn't expect that he would also know about the ancient ritual of awakening the Wu Sect that was circulating among the so-called Southern Witches.
Zhang Hefang nodded with a smile and said, "If you really can't hide anything from Boss Lu, that's right, I have indeed been busy with some things before, but now everything is on the right track." ”
After speaking, Zhang Hefang symbolically introduced me and Long Bujin.
After hearing Zhang Hefang's introduction, Boss Lu's eyes seemed to flash with a glimmer of light, and he actually walked straight in front of me and looked at me carefully. And Boss Lu is a person who is born with an irresistible aura, and in front of him, I actually feel a little small.
Boss Lu said generously: "The two of them are one of the six imperial attendants? ”
Zhang Hefang nodded, and Boss Lu laughed twice and said, "It doesn't look any different from ordinary people." ”
Zhang Hefang said: "Boss Lu said with a smile, the six imperial attendants were originally elected by human beings, so naturally there will be no difference. ”
Boss Lu let us sit on the chairs in the room, and then saluted me and Zhang Hefang each with a cigarette, while we smoked, Boss Lu said: "Brother Zhang, you came to me, don't you just want to explain to me the matter of the Six Imperial Attendants and that mysterious ancient ritual." I've told you many times that I'm just a mortal who doesn't know anything about witchcraft and won't join the Southern Witch Group. ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Hefang's face, and then said: "Boss Lu said that he laughed, I, Zhang Hefang, never force others to do something they don't like. ”
"And what are you here for? Brother Zhang, my drunken stone hall naturally welcomes you, but when you come to me with two Six Imperial Attendants, I'm afraid it's not as simple as chatting with me. Boss Lu said with a clear and elegant attitude.
Zhang Hefang said truthfully: "That's natural, it's just that I know Brother Zhang's erudition, so there are some things I need to ask you." ”
Boss Lu raised his eyebrows and motioned for Zhang Hefang to continue.
So, Zhang Hefang introduced Bu Jin with his hand and said, "This dragon girl has a piece of jade on her body, and I hope that Boss Lu can help us identify it." ”
"Jade?" Boss Lu couldn't help frowning and said, "Take it and take a look." ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Bu Jin.
Bu Jin was stunned for a moment, instinctively protected the jade plate on her chest, and under the continuous persuasion of me and Zhang Hefang, she reluctantly took out the jade card and handed it to Boss Lu, but her eyes always looked at Boss Lu vigilantly. I'm even a little worried that if Boss Lu makes any unintentional moves, Bu Jin will not make a move to Boss Lu with his mouth.
That was the first time I remember that the jade plate had left Bu Jin's body since I saw her for the first time.
Boss Lu took the jade card, first put it in his hand and weighed it, gently pressed the jade card a few times with the belly of the eldest mother's finger, and then clamped the jade card with his index finger and thumb, put it in the sunlight from the window, and carefully studied it through the sunlight for a while.
The sunlight outside was very bright, easily penetrating the jade plate, and the emerald green color suddenly became extremely vivid, almost dazzling.
From Boss Lu's expression, it could be seen how much he was so unaffected by this jade plate that Bu Jin wanted to get up and take back the jade card from him several times.
Boss Lu looked at the jade plaque and said to Zhang Hefang without looking back: "Brother Zhang, what do you want to know about this jade plaque?" ”
"Provenance." Zhang He dialect said succinctly,
Boss Lu smiled and said: "The age of the jade plate is very long, and this can be inferred from the brightness of the surface of the jade plate. As for the quality of jade, it is also easy to identify - this is a piece of ancient jade. ”
"Yu Yu Guyu?" I wondered.
Boss Lu glanced back at me, seemed to feel a little ridiculous at my ignorance, and said: "The so-called Yu is the so-called He, Yu Yu is what we often call Hetian jade, because its origin had a Yu Yu ancient country in ancient times, so I like to call it Yu Yuyu." This jade is warm and moist, and in terms of texture, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Yu Yuyu. ”
"But," Boss Lu turned his head and said, "Judging from the processing and carving technology of this jade, it should come from the relics of the Liangzhu civilization." ”
When Zhang Hefang heard this, he smiled heartily at me.
"But ......" Boss Lu suddenly stood up with the jade card, Bu Jin subconsciously stood up, Boss Lu glanced at Bu Jin, and continued: "Don't worry, this girl, I won't snatch your beautiful jade." I just want to tell you that this is not a jade plaque, and from the stylistic point of view, this is a piece of jade with a mouth. ”
After Boss Lu finished speaking, regardless of our doubts, he walked directly to the statue of the Sanqing gods, and in the cabinet below, he turned out a bronze tree more than half a meter high with an abstract and simple style, and the bronze tree was also full of more than ten small bells.
Boss Lu said: "Don't be suspicious, I just want to confirm whether this piece of mouth jade is as I imagined." ”
Before we could react, Boss Lu put his so-called "mouth jade" on the pedestal under the bronze tree, and there was no wind around, but suddenly, when the "mouth jade" was put on the base of the bronze tree, all the copper bells on the bronze tree began to tremble and make a huge tinkling sound, which was very harsh and weird.
