Chapter Eighty-Eight: Zhu's Birthday Celebration (4)
Fan Ning turned around, and was immediately surprised and delighted, it turned out to be Zhou Scale.
Zhou Yan was wearing a light blue dark coat, wearing a gauze hat, and his eyes were also flashing with surprise, and beside him was a delicate wooden box, which should be the strange stone he participated in the fighting stone.
"When did the old man come?"
Since the end of last year, Fanning has not seen Zhou Liang, of course, because Fanning is busy with his studies, but more importantly, Fanning has moved to the town.
"I'll be here early this morning!"
Zhou Yan lightly knocked on his head with a folding fan and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, you actually won the head of the county magistrate, and you didn't report the good news to me?" ”
Fan Ning scratched his head and smiled: "Isn't it just to save money for the old man?" If the old man doesn't seal a big red envelope, he will definitely be embarrassed. ”
Zhou Liang really couldn't cry or laugh, and scolded with a smile: "You flamboyant little money fan, when did you want to save money for me?" ”
That being said, he still took out a small brocade box from his arms and handed it to Fanning, "This is for you, congratulations on winning the first place in the county." ”
"What is it?"
"Open it for yourself!"
Fan Ning curiously took the box and opened it, and inside the box was a palm-sized jade unicorn, warm and delicate, with a thick pulp, which should be a heirloom jade.
"It's Hanyu!" Fan Ning recognized at a glance that the carver on it was Han Badao, simple and concise, and extremely creative.
Zhou Liang nodded, "This should be the jade that flowed out of Wuyue Palace, it is very precious, I have collected it for many years, so I will give it to you." ”
"Thank you seniors for the jade!" Fanning changed his hippie smile and saluted respectfully.
At this time, Zhu Pei also stepped forward and saluted, "Uncle Zhou is good!" ”
Zhou Yan pointed at Fan Ning with a fan and asked with a smile: "I heard your grandfather say, you brought this little guy to participate in Doushi today?" ”
Zhu Pei pursed his lips and smiled: "Fan Ning got two top-grade Taihu Lake stones, and he wanted to show off, so I gave him this opportunity." ”
Zhou Liang was suddenly surprised and delighted, "You kid has the best Taihu Lake Stone again, you didn't tell me, why don't you show it to me!" ”
"Old man, let me first state that these two stones are not for sale, and I want to collect them myself."
Fan Ning knows this old man too well, and he is also a Pixiu, and he is afraid that he will not be able to keep it.
"Stop talking nonsense, show it to me!"
Fanning had no choice but to take out the Xishan Travel Stone from the bag and put it on the stone table.
Zhou Scale's eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing began to become short, "This... This is Fan Kuan's "Journey to the Mountains and Streams"! ”
Fan Ning secretly screamed that it was not good, Old Man Zhou was going to perform his Pixiu Stone Absorbing Dafa.
"Old man, this is my family heirloom, my grandfather passed it on to me, I am going to leave it to my son, don't fight its idea!"
'Poof! Zhu Pei next to her couldn't help laughing, she laughed out loud all of a sudden, she quickly covered her mouth, turned her head to snicker, this Fan Ah is stupid, or really cute!
Zhou Yan looked at him with a smile, "I know your grandfather!" ”
Fanning was speechless for a moment.
At this time, the surrounding people all gathered around, and everyone was talking about it, and this high-end stone circle organized by Zhu Yuanfu was mainly composed of wealthy businessmen and wealthy families, and there were not many literati.
Zhou Liang is an outlier, he is a stone idiot, and almost every high-end circle will have him.
"Lao Zhou, this stone can only be regarded as a high-grade product!"
A wealthy businessman surnamed Hou did not understand Zhou Scale's gaffe, he was a big salt merchant in Jiangning Mansion, and he also followed the elegance and loved to collect strange stones.
Zhou Yan shook his head, he saw Zhu Pei holding two paintings, so he smiled and said, "Pei'er, you should have this painting!" ”
Only then did Fanning understand why Zhu Pei wanted to find two paintings, these guys who fought for stones were all rich, and I am afraid they had never seen "Traveling in Streams and Mountains".
Without this painting, fighting with them is playing the harp to the cow.
"I'm coming!"
Fanning took the "Journey to the Mountains and Streams" from Zhu Pei's hand, and slowly unfolded it, and the people around him were suddenly amazed, "It's exactly the same as the mountains in the painting!" ”
Fanning has planted a little moss on the top of the stone, and with the cyan Taihu stone, it has a dense alpine forest and majestic beauty.
Zhou Yan smiled and said to everyone: "This painting is the representative work of the Northern School of Painting Saint Fan Kuan's "Traveling in the Mountains and Streams", which is currently treasured in the imperial palace, but many copies have been circulated, and there is also a copy in my house, and the preciousness of this stone lies in this. ”
Everyone was silent for a moment, and the big salt merchant surnamed Hou just now suddenly said: "Fan Shaolang, sell me this stone!" I'll pay a thousand dollars. ”
"I'll go out 1,200!"
"I'll give 1,500!"
"Fan Shaolang, I'll give you two thousand taels of silver!"
......
Everyone surrounded Fanning, scrambling to make an offer, these wealthy merchants were very business-minded, and of course they knew the value of this Xishan Travel Stone.
"Everyone, listen to me!"
Zhou Liang stopped everyone, and he smiled and said: "I didn't finish talking just now, the owner of this Xishan Travel Stone is no longer Fan Shaolang, otherwise I would have bought it a long time ago, and I would give everyone a chance?" ”
Everyone was right to think about it, they no longer surrounded Fan Ning, and Hou Yanshang asked: "Fan Shaolang, I don't know who the current owner of this Xishan Travel Stone is?" ”
Fan Ning understood that Zhou Liang was relieving himself, so he pointed at Zhu Pei, "I gave this Taihu Lake stone to Zhu Daguan as a birthday gift, and I have to say sorry for your love!" ”
He quickly gave Zhu Pei a look, and Zhu Pei understood and said to everyone: "This is my grandfather's beloved Taihu Lake stone, and I specially brought it to fight with everyone." ”
Hou Yanshang was still a little unwilling, he asked Fan Ning again, "What is Fan Shaolang's stone .....?"
Fanning pointed to the Southern Dynasty Dancing Girl Stone picked up by the two family members, "That's my stone, you can go and enjoy it." ”
Everyone gathered around the dancing girl stone in the south, and Fan Ning found an opportunity and smiled at Zhou Liang in a low voice: "Old man, thank you!" ”
Zhou Yan said lightly: "Guilty of it, do you understand?" ”
Fan Ning nodded silently, he really felt a little remorseful in his heart, this matter was something he didn't consider, he thought that today was a high-level literati fighting stone, but now he found out that there was only one literati, Zhou Liang, and the others were all wealthy businessmen.
These businessmen often do things unscrupulously, and this piece of Xishan Travel Stone is too precious, and it is indeed easy to be remembered.
Zhu Pei approached Fanning and asked quietly, "Do you want to sell your stones?" ”
Fanning originally planned to sell two stones to earn some capital to open a store, but Zhu Pei's investment disrupted his plan.
Fanning whispered a few words to Jupei.
Juppe nodded, "I see!" ”
At this time, Zhu Yuanfu walked along the corridor to this side, and Zhu Pei hurriedly hugged Xishan Xingshi to greet him......
"Huh! I've been waiting for you. ”
Zhu Yuanfu walked up and saluted everyone with his fists, he put the Xishan Travel Stone on the table, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I am determined to win the Dou Shi today, who can compare to my Xishan Travel Stone, you might as well take it out, we will compete." ”
.......
In the room, Zhu Yuanfu couldn't put down Fan Ning's Xishan Travel Stone, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, he smiled and asked Fan Ning: "Fan Shaolang, I bought this Xishan Travel Stone for 10,000 taels of silver, are you willing to cut your love?" ”
Fan Ning smiled helplessly and said, "If the big officials like it, stay it!" It's a birthday gift from me to the officials. ”
"Are you really willing?" Zhu Yuanfu asked with a smile.
"Of course I can't bear it!"
Fan Ning said angrily: "But it's really too dangerous to stay by my side, there are too many people who are worried about it, and even the county order hinted at me, it's better to give it to the big officials, I can see it when I want to see it." ”
Zhu Yuanfu laughed, "Okay! I have accepted this birthday gift, and if you want to see it, come to my house at any time. ”
Zhou Lan, who was sitting on the side, saw that Fan Ning really gave this extremely valuable Taihu Lake stone to Zhu Yuanfu, and he was also a little anxious.
"You little slippery head, I just said that it was your heirloom, I will give it away now, I don't care, next month is also my birthday, you can do it yourself!"
Fan Ning was helpless, and pointed to the Southern Dynasty Dancing Girl Stone at the door, "That stone will be given to you, don't complain about your old man." ”
Zhou Yan frowned, "Your stone is at most a fine product, and the fighting stone didn't even enter the top twenty just now, are you embarrassed to give it to me?" ”
"Didn't your old man say that? The puppet is not guilty, but he is guilty, so I dare not show his true colors. ”
Fan Ning asked for the picture of the dancing girl of the Southern Dynasty from Zhu Pei's hand, and handed it to Zhou Scale, "Look at this!" ”
Zhou Yan unfolded the scroll, his eyes suddenly lit up, he walked quickly to the stone, carefully looked at the stone against the painting, and after a moment, he laughed and praised: "What a piece of the Southern Dynasty Dancing Girl Stone, little guy, this Southern Dynasty Dancing Girl Stone will be given to me as a birthday gift." ”
Zhu Pei suddenly jumped up, pursed his lips and said, "Dumb, it's my birthday in two months, what do you say?" ”
Fan Ning said weakly: "There is also a three-pool moon stone over there, take it if you like!" ”
