Chapter Twenty-Seven: To the Provincial City

With the approach of the jade exhibition in the provincial capital, the newspapers and network media of the provinces and cities have reported on this matter, and the scale is unprecedented, becoming the largest event in the province.

Zhang Weidong, who returned to Rongzhen with the Liu Ding sisters in the afternoon, also saw the news on TV.

On TV, the area of the field filmed is huge, and it is in the provincial stadium. The area in the provincial stadium is very large, and general large-scale events are held in it, and Zhang Weidong has also been there once.

"It seems that the exhibition is not small!"

Zhang Weidong's mind came alive. At the jade fair, there should be a lot of ancient jade he wants to see, which makes him excited.

Xinyu or something, he can not care. But Gu Yu, he has some sustenance. Legend has it that immortal cultivators use jade as a carrier to memorize some things or tricks.

And Gu Yu is Zhang Weidong's goal, he wants to confirm whether there is anything wrong with it, because what he lacks most at present is some common sense and magic tips for cultivating immortals, otherwise, he can only cultivate in a black way.

"Xiaoding, there is a jade fair held in the province, I plan to go for a few days, do you want to go?" In the living room, Liu Ding washed fruits and went upstairs, and Zhang Weidong asked.

Liu Ding is also bored to stay at home alone, so it's better to take Izuku for a walk.

Liu Ding was stunned for a moment: "Jade fair?" Brother Wei Dong, do you want to buy jade?"

"Wang Fatzi called me and asked me to go, I thought about it, and I also wanted to see it, it is said that this exhibition is very large!" Zhang Weidong said with a smile. "When the time comes, you don't necessarily have to buy it!"

"Where to go, where to go, brother-in-law, I'm going too!" the little girl Liu Ying went upstairs, only heard half of the words, and said hurriedly.

It's just summer vacation, and it's time to go crazy.

"You still have summer homework, don't make trouble!" Liu Ding frowned, put on the posture of the eldest sister, and reprimanded. "Brother Wei Dong is going to the province for business, not to play!"

"Brother-in-law-" The little girl looked at Zhang Weidong pitifully, looking very aggrieved.

"Okay, let's go, it's okay to relax!" Zhang Weidong said helplessly. He was embarrassed to refuse this brother-in-law's call, anyway, it didn't cost much to live in the province for a few days.

"Yes, Xie Lu Xie brother-in-law!" the little girl suddenly became happy.

Since it was agreed, two days later, Zhang Weidong, Liu Ding, and Liu Ying rushed to the city. Because the exhibition will open the next day, the time is also very tight.

The day before, Liu's father took his wife's transfer to the provincial capital for treatment, and Liu Ding's younger brother temporarily lived in Lao Liu's house.

Lao Liu and his family are good people, and as soon as Liu Jianshe opened his mouth, they agreed.

After arriving in the city, Zhang Weidong finally found a three-star hotel to live in and opened a suite.

Let the two sisters have a good rest. The night before, Zhilu Dao was going to stay in the city for a few days, and Liu Ying, the little heel, was fooled by Wang Fatzi, and he was very curious and excited about the thrill of buying stones for a few hundred yuan in a blink of an eye.

As a result, I fell asleep very late.

I got up early this morning, and when I arrived in the city at this time, Liu Ying was still yawning, and Liu Ding was also affected by her sister. Is drowsiness contagious?

Seeing that the sisters chose to sleep, Zhang Weidong said a word and went out.

To meet with Mr. Xu, Zhang Weidong deliberately found a teahouse with a good environment, quiet, elegant, drink some tea, talk about business, such an occasion is still good.

————

Old Man Xu came alone, carrying a small box in his hand, and as soon as he came in, Zhang Weidong sat down next to him. After all, there was only one transaction, and there was no friendship, Zhang Weidong begged to come to the door, wanted an invitation, took a look at Gu Yu, and brought two or three more people in, and Old Man Xu agreed to it.

"Old Xu, I'm really bothering you this time!"

Old man Xu still has an impression of Zhang Weidong, a very stable young man. ...,

"Xiao Zhang, you're welcome, for me, it's just a gesture, nothing troublesome!" Old Man Xu sat down, waved his hand and said casually.

"It's just a gesture for you, it's a big deal for me, I'm very interested in ancient jade, this opportunity is rare, it is said that many jade merchants from all over the country have brought collections, and they will regret not seeing it!"

"That's right, such a large-scale exhibition is not held a few times a year, and the same city may be held once in a few years, Xiao Zhang, do you have any research on ancient jade?" asked Old Man Xu with a smile.

Collectors of antiques will generally not miss such a big event. If it was a jade merchant, even if he couldn't come himself, he would definitely send a strong team over.

At this time, the waiter came over and asked Mr. Xu what kind of tea he was drinking, and Mr. Xu ordered a cup of Tieguanyin.

"Xu Lao, in fact, I am a layman for antiques, just by intuition and preference, but fortunately, a few times, fortunately, I didn't make a small profit!"

"Intuition?"

Zhang Weidong's answer surprised Mr. Xu very much.

You have to know that it is very difficult to find a genuine product from so many antiques, so many experts have made a move, and it was actually missed by Zhang Weidong?

"Yes, intuition, I have an intuition about the authenticity of antiques, I always feel that the last vintage, has experienced the test of time, the precipitation of history, there is a special charm on it, I think it is difficult to imitate the fake!" Zhang Weidong said modestly.

"That's right, but it's too difficult to judge!" Old Man Xu's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head.

Indeed, an antique is a unique and inimitable charm that makes it an antique, and it is an indescribable feeling, and everyone thinks so.

Modern imitation masters, you can judge a lot of reference to judge the authenticity of the year, do fake mess with the real, if you don't consider the time, then and the real thing is the same. But it just lacks that antique, special taste, so it's a fake. It's just that sometimes it can feel misleading. Others don't rely on intuition to judge the truth.

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, then I want to test you, how about it?"

Zhang Weidong was surprised, and agreed to come down: "Then it's ugly, I'll try, if there's anything wrong, Xu Lao, you can point out——"

Old Man Xu came prepared, and seemed to have the mind of Zhang Weidong to compare it, and the box was actually ready for objects. This is a funny old man!

The small box was opened, and there were three items, all of which were jade, a dragon-patterned jade pendant, a Guanyin statue, and a thumb-sized gourd pendant.

The materials are all made of Hetian jade, not fake jade. The only difficulty is how to determine whether he is Gu Yu, what dynasty, what origin and so on, this is the proposition made by Old Man Xu.

Generally speaking, the famous jade of each dynasty has its origin, including the cultural factors of the time, and from the shape or the content of the object, it can more or less explain a little problem.

These three pieces of Xu Lao are worth a lot of money, and they are all carefully carved and pecked works, from the hands of masters.

"Old man Xu, my opinion is that there is only one ancient jade in it, that is, the gourd pendant, which should be Song Yu, and the other two, the Guanyin statue is relatively recent, it is estimated that it is from the Republic of China period, and the other one should be modern carving, as for the origin, I can't see it-" Zhang Weidong said thoughtfully after playing with it for a while.

To make Old Man Xu pay attention to it, and feel that it is worth getting an invitation, Zhang Weidong calculated the next era in his heart, but it is not easy to clarify the dynasty. It's just the interpretation of the origin of jade and the value evaluation, this is not Zhang Weidong's strength, and now that he learns it again, he doesn't have the time. ...,

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, I think so!" Zhang Weidong groaned and nodded.

Old Man Xu glanced at Zhang Weidong, and smiled without explaining whether it was correct or wrong, but the chat behind him was much more harmonious.

After drinking tea for more than an hour, Mr. Xu estimated that he had something to do, and left two invitations for Zhang Weidong when he left, one for Wang Fatzi and one for Zhang Weidong, so he could bring a few people in.

And that's it!

——

Seeing that Old Man Xu got into a Mercedes-Benz car and left, Zhang Weidong also left the teahouse.

After the matter was resolved and he was in a happy mood, Zhang Weidong was not in a hurry to go back, and planned to walk around the city. Since quitting his white-collar job, he has not been in the district for a few months, except for a few times when he has changed hands on antiques, and it seems that the city is a little different again.

Urbanization is progressing rapidly.

"Weidong?"

A black Sutar stopped in front of the teahouse, the window opened, but a woman was looking at her, screaming uncertainly.

"Ye Li?" Zhang Weidong felt that this fashionable woman was a little familiar, and after looking at it, it was indeed an acquaintance.

"It's really you, Zhang Weidong!" Ye Li got out of the car and said happily. "I thought I was wrong!"

"Xiaoli, this, is this really Zhang Weidong?"

In the driver's seat, a young man also got out of the car, wearing a suit and a leather collar, dressed as a successful person.

Yes, they are also acquaintances.

To be precise, Zhang Weidong and Ye Li who got out of the car, as well as the man Ding Hui, are all college classmates. However, the relationship between Ding Hui and Zhang Weidong is very average, but the relationship with Ye Li is good.
