Chapter 0025 – Grasshopper Gourd (II)
“Aigoo, our Great Manager Zhuang is finally back, you’re not small! A room full of people are waiting for you!”
Zhuang Rui just stepped into the door of the pet store, he heard Liu Chuan’s loud voice yelling up, looking towards the store, there were really quite a lot of people.
Zhuang Rui first saw the person, naturally Qin Xuan Bing, Qin Xuan Bing today wore a purple wide sweater, set off the originally very fair skin as jade, originally pulled up hair also unraveled, scattered on the shoulders, giving a lazy feeling, spare Zhuang Rui heart to Qin Xuan Bing cold character dislike, see this kind of appearance, is also heartbeat accelerated a few points.
Qin Xuan ice at the moment is accompanied by inamorata in playing turtle race it, is estimated to be Liu Chuan this kid idea, grabbed two turtles thrown to the coffee table, let inamorata to fiddle with, looking at the two turtles awkwardly crawling on the coffee table, Qin Xuan ice and inamorata this big a small two beautiful women are happy to smile, Qin Xuan ice smile is like ten thousand years of glaciers melt, look in the eyes of Zhuang Rui, actually in the heart of the heart there is a kind of spring back to the earth! The feeling.
This period of time down, Qin Xuan Bing’s family history in the crowd is not a secret, she was born in Hong Kong, a rich family, the family’s main jewelry, jadeite jade, in the whole of Southeast Asia are considered to be well-known, and her family compared to the Lei Lei grandfather’s industry to be inferior to a lot of, from the assets and reputation and the operation of the project in all respects, can not be compared with it.
Seems to sense Zhuang Rui’s gaze, Qin Xuan Bing and returned to the cold look, Zhuang Rui a little embarrassed and scratched his head, to the other several people to see.
Lei Lei will be at the entrance of the store several aquariums next to help customers in the selection of turtles, she was originally raised in Pengcheng, there is no language barrier, doing business is a great deal of sound and color, not at all pretentious.
Zhuang Rui’s eyes turned back to Liu Chuan side, in the sofa beside him sat three men, one is an old man, probably more than sixty years old, body thin, but hale and hearty, a pair of eyes gleaming, looks very lean, the other two are about forty years old middle-aged people, look at its dress, also does not look like buying guests.
Liu Chuan pulled over Zhuang Rui, pointing to the old man, said: “Zhuang Rui, come come, I’ll introduce you, this is next to the ‘Jiya Xuan’ boss Lv Boss, he is our Pengcheng antiques sector of the old-timers ah! He is also the president of Pengcheng Antiques Association and the director of Jewelry and Jade Association, if you have any questions that you don’t understand, ask Boss Lv for more advice.”
The old man was not satisfied with Liu Chuan’s name, glared at Liu Chuan and said, “Little brat, I can’t afford to call you Uncle Lu! What shopkeeper, is a bad old man just.”
Liu Chuan like and this old man used to joke, at the moment also do not care, and pointed to the other two middle-aged people to Zhuang Rui said: “This is the owner of Liu Xiang Zhai Song Jun Song boss, he is not often in Pengcheng busy people ah! This is the jade tripod hall boss Wang, these two are not only in our Pengcheng antique world counts the name, is in the northern province of the boundaries, mention is also famous, when the brother I opened a store here, these a few have not less help.”
Zhuang Rui hastily nodded to greet a few people, but some of the heart wonder, according to Liu Chuan’s statement, in front of this old two middle-aged people, counted as the head of the antique world of Pengcheng, just do not know Liu Chuan to introduce him to these people is what it means, their own veins and this line of work do not have any relationship ah!
As the saying goes, the old man into a fine, Lv shopkeeper seems to see Zhuang Rui face revealed that a trace of doubt, open the door and said: “small Zhuang, a few of us today, uninvited, is to hear that you have received a period of time ago a clear Wang Shizhen manuscripts, Wang Shizhen’s poems passed down a lot of, just his manuscripts survive very rare, we have no other meaning, just want to see it. ”
Zhuang Rui heard this, immediately understood, the eyes to Liu Chuan, the goods quickly said: “you guys chat, I go to greet the guests.”
Liu Chuan finished and then far away to Lei Lei’s side, no need to ask, must be this goods mouth without a door, publicize it to himself, Zhuang Rui heart is also secretly grateful, fortunately did not tell this guy about the eye aura, otherwise now I’m afraid that the people of the earth all know.
“Boss Lu, the two bosses ……”
“Xiao Zhuang ah! Old man trust a big, call Uncle Lv!” Zhuang Rui hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted by Boss Lv.
“Alright! Uncle Lv, Brother Song, Brother Wang, years ago when I did receive a manuscript, look at the quality should be good ancient books undoubtedly, I also checked some information, the content of the manuscript is Wang Shizhen’s Xiang Zu notes, as for who was written by, I can’t tell the difference.”
Zhuang Rui honestly said that the situation of the manuscript, anyway, this thing comes from a clean slate, no one can snatch, these several connoisseurs want to see, just to solve their own doubts it!
“Brother Zhuang, then can you bring it to let a few of us see ah?”
Some rough-looking Song Jun said loudly, to know, antiques in the most difficult to save is the painting and calligraphy, like Wang Shizhen such a generation of the works of the great, the survival of the extremely rare, its authenticity I’m afraid can only be seen in a few big museums inside, is that they want to have a glimpse of them to see in the end is the former authentic, or a fake fake?
“Now? Here?”
Zhuang Rui looked at is playing not happy Nui Nui, some difficult, something to go home to get, and Liu Chuan this store people come and go, some noise, is not a good place to appreciate antiques.
“Hey, is my slip of the tongue, this place is not very suitable, this way! If you are free tomorrow morning, bring the manuscript to the market next to the Jing Ming Xuan teahouse, that is also my business, we have a tea appreciation, old man, you say good ah!”
Song boss although the appearance of rough, but speak very measured, the meaning of the words or to Lv Laozi as the first, but Song Jun this person demeanor between the talk are very atmospheric, looks like it will not be an ordinary antique collector.
“I think this is fine, I just don’t know if Xiao Zhuang has time tomorrow?” Elder Song nodded and said.
Zhuang Rui was about to reply, the caddisflies in his arms suddenly chirped, may be in the store temperature rises the reason, Zhuang Rui heart, this caddisflies nothing special, just caddisfly gourd should be some origin, they do not understand, why not let these a few people to palm eyes ah!
Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui said: “line, Lv uncle since said, tomorrow I am on time is, but Lv uncle, I just received a small object in the market, they like, you see can not help me palm eyes, break the generation ah!”
“Oh, is the caddis gourd it? Take it out and look at it before ……”
Lv shopkeeper heard grasshopper call, and see Zhuang Rui so talk, which still do not understand what he is playing the mind.
Liu Chuan and Lei Lei heard that Zhuang Rui bought a caddisfly gourd, also surrounded over, even Qin Xuan Bing and little nui nui nui, who were fiddling with the turtle, were also attracted by the caddisfly’s clear chirping sound.
Zhuang Rui reached out the caddisfly gourd in his arms, before handing it to Master Lu, it was snatched away by Liu Chuan, and the little nui nui was on the ground hugging Liu Chuan’s thighs, also yelling to play.
“I say wood, how much did you buy this thing, how do you remember to play with this thing, you are remembering our childhood catching grasshoppers!”
Liu Chuan played with the caddisfly gourd in his hand and handed it to the little nui nui, obviously not taking this thing seriously, but didn’t notice that Master Lu’s face on the side changed a bit.
“A thousand dollars to buy, we would not understand, if there is this thing, the big blue-eyed general I raised back then would not have frozen to death.” Zhuang Rui casually replied.
“One thousand dollars! Why are you jerking off again? Do you know that I used to sell this stuff for twenty dollars a pop, which asshole sold you? Give me say, I’ll go find him to go ……”
Liu Chuan’s voice unconsciously pulled up a few degrees, he is not heartbroken about this thousand dollars, just feel that his brother is being played as a fool, his heart is very unhappy.
