Chapter 0322 – Folk Treasure Appraisal (XI)

“Mr. Yang, here is a cash check for 600,000 RMB. You take it and don’t fold it, otherwise you won’t be able to draw it out.”

Since he decided to buy it, Zhuang Rui took out his checkbook on the spot and wrote a cash check for 600,000 RMB, then took a copy of “Appreciation of Characters and Paintings and Antiques” by Fatty Jin from the table, and handed it over to the calloused hands of the middle-aged man after he clipped the check in the book.

“Thank you Mr. Zhuang, thank you Mr. Zhuang.” The middle-aged man carefully grabbed the book, his eyes were already a little misty.

With Zhuang Rui bought this Warring States bronze tripod, the folk treasure appreciation activities have entered the end, in the many collectors issued a certificate of treasure appreciation, the host went on stage to announce the successful conclusion of this activity.

This meal at noon is Jinan station treat, after dinner, it is already more than two o’clock in the afternoon, according to the plan should go to Baotu Springs and other places to play a little, but Zhuang Rui and others discussed, not to stay in Jinan, simply drive directly back to Beijing, which is close to Jinan, want to play when you can.

Zhuang Rui at this time did not realize. This folk treasure activity, in fact, has established his position in the jade world and antique circles, although not necessarily can be called an expert, but also by many collectors cognizant, at least in Qilu and Tianjin and Beijing and other places, has been counted as a small fame, and will bring Zhuang Rui quite a lot of benefits.

In the car, Jinan station staff to Beijing experts, and their counterparts, each sent a cardboard bag, which puts Jinan’s specialties, but the experts in the bag, but more than the staff of the Beijing station, more than a black handbag.

Get on the car after sitting down, Zhuang Rui quietly handbag zipper opened to look at, which neatly placed five knife pink yuan, estimated fat man Jin they have found, face all smiling, said the expert is not a saint, see the money who is not happy ah!

Yesterday half a day plus this morning, a total of one day of treasure time, so that the experts consumed a lot of physical spirit, in a nap, the car after Langfang, the people back to the energy, began to send each other business cards, leave contact information.

In fact, are mainly and Zhuang Rui exchange contact information. Several of them are Beijing hang out, very familiar, this will be Zhuang Rui that the Jade Association’s piece also came in handy.

“Xiao Zhuang, are you free tomorrow? Take you to Tongzhou to go around.”

Fatty Jin sat in the row behind Zhuang Rui, smilingly stretched out his big hand and patted Zhuang Rui’s shoulder.

“Tomorrow? Tomorrow is really not free, buy that mansion to set drawings, in a few days the construction will have to watch, Mr. Jin, go to Tongzhou why ah?”

Although there is no time, but Zhuang Rui this heart also curious ah! Fatty Jin in Beijing head wide, it is not allowed to know some good places.

“His kid all day either pull out the old mansion, or shopping black market, where else can he go ah! The money in his pocket never lasts more than three to five days.”

Sun Lao and Fatty Jin is very familiar, also not afraid to reveal his old bottom, said these people are often in a black market inside the crash, Beijing seems not small, but play antiques circle is not big.

“Beijing also has a black market?”

Zhuang Rui asked with some surprise, even in places like Lhasa. Black market are to be placed in the city dozens of kilometers away from the city, the birds do not lay eggs place to go, forty-nine cities as the country’s political and economic center, there will also be this kind of black market transactions?

“Hey, how fresh you are to ask! We are the most concentrated place of artifact dealers in the country, can there be less black market? However, there are very few in the city, usually in Tongzhou and Daxing, how about going tomorrow?”

Fatty Jin said this when he lowered his voice, although the circle of people know the existence of the black market, but the people sitting in this car, not still have outsiders are not, how to say that he is also an expert!

“Next time! Next time you have time to be sure to go with your long insights.”

Zhuang Rui heart some regrets, this black market is a good place, although the origin of those things is unknown, but the price is also low ah! If you can come across a black market organizers can not touch the things, that is also a good place to pick up the leakage, Zhuang Rui that Tang Pak Fu’s “Li Duan Duan Tu” is not in the black market with the price of cabbage to buy to the hand well!

More than an hour later, the bus drove into the compound of the capital city television station, several experts or hit, or drove themselves, have left, Zhuang Rui carrying the shoe box containing the bronze tripod of the warring states, toward his Grand Cherokee.

“Mr. Zhuang, wait a minute.” Suddenly. Behind him came the voice of the pretty female host.

Zhuang Rui stopped his steps, looked at Liu Jia, and asked, “Ms. Liu, is there anything else?”

“Nothing, this folk treasure appreciation program, is my own planning, Mr. Zhuang your performance makes this program a lot more highlights, I would like to invite you to have a meal, to express my gratitude, I don’t know if Mr. Zhuang will be willing to show his face?”

Liu Jia spoke, inadvertently with the right hand stroked the tips of the hair, chest towering place due to the arm squeeze, more and more appear plump, see Zhuang Rui eyes are a little straight, he a pure love small virgin, where have seen this kind of flavorful mature woman ah!

“No …… no, no time ……”

Zhuang Rui held back half a day to spit out the three words, let Liu Jia face changed a bit, she originally thought Zhuang Rui will say “no problem” three words, but did not expect actually was rejected, which makes Liu Jia heart a little tangled, said that just now that has not sobered up the deputy director of the station, but also rushed to invite themselves to dinner!

In fact, Liu Jia does not have any other ideas. For one thing, this time Zhuang Rui to folk treasure appreciation program to bring a lot of ratings, should be a good thank you, and Liu Jia Zhuang Rui some interest in this person, young age, not a lot of money, but also act very low-key, the whole person is like a layer of veil, so that people can not be understood.

There is a saying: men can conquer the whole world, and women only need to conquer a man on the line, Liu Jia is not small now, although there is never a lack of suitors around. But for those who rely on the elders of the playboy, she has always been not to color, and rarely come across a man who looks at his own eyes, Liu Jia also took the initiative once, but did not expect, was Zhuang Rui directly to the refusal.

“Is it because he is bigger than him?”

Liu Jia in some embarrassed, began to think wildly, but then overturned this conclusion, the age that is not a problem, as the saying goes, the female big three, hold the gold brick well, said that Hong Kong’s Wang Diva than Xie small heavenly king is also older than the more than ten years it is, do not also love the roar of the?

If Zhuang Rui know this Liu Jia blink of an eye turned so many small mind, will certainly cry injustice, not to mention he does not know Liu Jia than he is a year older, that is, if you know, we have a meal with friends, but also nothing, that is to say, Liu Jia’s temperament on the attraction of men, is not a general big.

In fact, Zhuang Rui just wanted to say “no problem” these three words, but words to the mouth but remembered the afternoon in the car received a call from his mother, let him return to Yuquan Mountain dinner at night, a just know the woman of the day, one of them is to raise their own twenty years of mother, Zhuang Rui of course to carry the clear.

“Ms. Liu, not no time, hey, really no time, I do not know how to say.”

Zhuang Rui is the more the explanation is more messy, is the face of those rare rare game, he has not been so embarrassed, this has not experienced the woman’s man, or immature ah! In the heart of the organization of language, Zhuang Rui said: “Today the elders of the family let go back to dinner, really no time, or so, another day I invite you. OK?”

To say that Zhuang Rui to Liu Jia’s impression, is really good, several times out of words to help themselves, but he is no other idea, this mouth a teacher called, that can not make a mistake.

See Zhuang Rui flustered look, Liu Jia mood inexplicably cheerful up, sweet smile: “That good, you kind of owe me a meal ah! By the way, I didn’t drive, where do you live? Can you take a ride?”

“I’m going to the Jade Spring Mountain side, if you’re on your way, get in the car!”

“Just in time, I also live in that direction, Mr. Zhuang you can just drop me off halfway.”

Zhuang Rui didn’t see Liu Jia’s face change for a moment, who in Beijing doesn’t know the location of Jade Spring Mountain, the people who live there, all of them once reigned supreme in this country, she walked in front of Zhuang Rui’s car before seeing that special pass, her heart couldn’t help but think highly of Zhuang Rui for a few more points.

Liu Jia does live in this direction, after half an hour, she arrived at their own residence, and Zhuang Rui shook hands after, said goodbye and got off the car, just in the handshake, the ghost of the time, with small nails crossed Zhuang Rui’s palm, this action but make Zhuang Rui then that car drive is crooked, several times almost didn’t kiss the front of the car.

Will drive into the Yuquan Mountain Sanatorium, Zhuang Rui’s heart slowly calm down, at this time has been the day near dusk, the sun has been westward slanting, blinding sunlight has been slightly dim, only in its surroundings flow with a circle of golden light, bright dazzling.

Turn the car into the grandfather lived in the yard of the road, the trees in front of me covered half of the face of the setting sun, the figure of the setting sun with the passage of time is also slowly disappearing, hidden and hidden, only in the west of the sky left a red light. Through the thin layer of clouds, it refracted various colors.

Suddenly, Zhuang Rui stepped on the brakes, because he saw that in the doorway of Grandpa’s small yard, two figures appeared, and his mother was assisting Grandpa, slowly taking a walk.

Zhuang Rui can clearly see, grandpa that is full of majesty face, at this time to reveal a kind smile, and the mother has always been tightly locked brow, but also let go, from time to time came from the mother burst of clear laughter, laugh is so happy.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the two, like a layer of golden light to the father-daughter duo, is so harmonious, cozy, let Zhuang Rui can not bear to interrupt them.
