"You say you are ambitious. How much do you have in your savings now?" Liu asked with a smile.
"About 15 million." Chu Chen scratched his forehead and replied.
"Oh, I didn't expect that Xiao Chu was still a rich man. Since you have so much money, you can't be too ambitious. Well, I'll ask you about the house, but I'm not sure if there is one!" Mr. Liu said while drinking tea.
After hearing the speech, Chu Chen was ecstatic and expressed his gratitude to Liu. He may be able to buy villas or Siheyuan in other places, but it's really impossible to buy a villa like Mr. Liu, who is either rich or expensive. Now Mr. Liu is able to help him, which is a great help.
Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "well, don't thank you. We have to say whether we can succeed or not. Let's go on with what happened just now."
Although Liu said so, Chu Chen believed that this kind of thing was not a piece of cake for Liu, and then he said with a smile: "Liu, let me prepare first. I have to draw a basin of water to see this thing."
Liu nodded and agreed, but Chu Chen's actions also aroused his interest.
After a while, Chu Chen went back to the house with a basin of water. This time, after listening to what Uncle Wu said, he specially took a smaller basin. However, when he took out the jade cicada and was ready to put it into the water, Mr. Liu suddenly stood up and yelled:
"Xiao Chu, wait a minute, show me what you have in your hand first!"
Chuchen some strange Liu old reaction, the jade cicada handed to Liu old hands.
After taking over the jade cicada, Mr. Liu fell into deep meditation. After waiting for a long time, he held up the scarlet jade cicada and observed it carefully. Then with a long sigh, he said to Liu Qinshu standing on one side, "Xiao Shu, go and get a glass."
Then, seeing Chu Chen's strange expression, Liu said with a smile, "little Chu, are you curious that I'm so excited when I see this jade cicada? If I guess correctly, this is a jade cicada, isn't it? "
Chu Chen was stunned when he heard the speech. Judging from Liu's reaction, he should not be unfamiliar with the tubeless jade, so he was surprised and asked, "Liu, this is really a tubeless jade cicada. Have you ever seen tubeless jade before?"
Liu old smile some bitter said: "of course, I have seen, and I have had a piece before."
At this time, Liu Qinshu came in with a glass. After Liu took it, he scooped some water from the basin and said, "let's talk about my business later. Now let's take a look at the magical place of this jade cicada."
The jade cicada is put into the cup. In an instant, the whole jade cicada is soaked with water. A touch of red is seen, which immediately gushes out of the cup, making the water in the cup instantly dyed red.
Gradually, the water became more and more red, and finally the whole cup of water became blood red. At this time, when you look at the jade cicada inside, it will show some brilliance, giving people a beautiful feeling.
"What's going on?" Originally, Liu Qinshu, who was not sure why, was very surprised when he saw this scene. He couldn't help coming to the cup and staring at it.
At this time, Qian was also very excited. Looking at the sight in his eyes, his bright eyes became very bright and his voice was good from time to time.
"It's amazing! I'm not dreaming
Liu Qinshu exclaimed, his face full of shock, incredible look: "Dad, is this the kind of jade you said before?"
"Yes, it's the birth jade!"
Liu nodded his head heavily, and then said to Chu Chen, "Xiao Chu, I used to have a piece of jade cicada, but the color is not so red, and the appearance is not as good as your jade cicada. Do you want to ask, where is my piece of jade? I tell you, it's ruined
"Ah?! How could it be destroyed? " When chuchen heard Liu's reply, he was surprised. How could such a precious thing be destroyed?
Then, Liu said sadly, "yes, it's ruined! It's all my own problem. I was only in my twenties that year. At that time, I was very lucky. It's common for me to pick up leaks. Now when I see your luck, I think of when I was young. I feel so kind. "
At this point, both Chu Chen and Liu Qinshu suddenly realized that Liu would take a special look at himself (little Chu). It turned out that there was such a factor.
"At that time, by chance, I got a small piece of jade. I was so excited that I showed off everywhere. Just like you, Xiao Chu, every time you let people see you, you put the jade in a basin of water for everyone to enjoy. When you saw other people's amazing appearance, you were still complacent.
speaking of this, Liu Lao sighed: "at that time, I never thought that the red color in the jade would not be lost. Once, when there were many people watching, I put the jade in a big jar and tied the knot If so, you will know
When chuchen heard this, he looked at the jade cicada in the cup with lingering fear. However, he thought of another question and asked: "Mr. Liu, I heard a saying that the formation of the bodiless jade has something to do with people's playing for a long time and the infiltration of blood gas. If you play with that jade for a long time, won't it recover?"Old Liu clapped his hands and said: "although there is no definite number for the formation of bodiless jade, your view is reasonable. But at the beginning, we didn't understand the birth jade, and I was so sad that I accidentally gave it to you. This is the biggest regret in my life. "
Seeing his sad appearance, Liu Qinshu quickly asked Chu Chen, "little Chu, do you have any intention of transferring this jade cicada?"
Chu Chen also understood her feelings, but this request really made him very difficult, but at this time Liu said seriously: "Xiao Shu, your request is unreasonable. If it was you, would you be willing to transfer it? If it's publicized, it can't be said that I rely on the old to sell the old? "
Chu Chen saw this situation, quickly said: "Liu Lao, you don't get angry, Aunt Liu just because too concerned about you, so will say so."
And Liu Qinshu also timely bowed his head to admit his mistake.
Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "well, Xiao Shu, I understand what you mean. However, a person's life can never be perfect. If you miss it, you will miss it. Xiao Chu is a good jade cicada, but in my heart, it's not as good as the one I got at the beginning. "
"Mr. Liu, you're wrong. I'm a jade cicada. It's not as good as the one you got. People don't believe it if you tell me!" At the end of the day, Chu Chen's face also showed an exaggerated expression.
Seeing this, Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, I haven't found out before that you flatter me so naked."
Beside Liu Shuqin, chuchen's exaggerated expression amused him with a smile.
Chuchen then laughed for a while, and then said, "Mr. Liu, I have another thing to do this time. I just want to ask you, what should I pay attention to when playing with the tubeless jade plate?"
"You really asked the right person about this. After I got the jade, I looked up many ancient books, and then summed up a set of methods for playing with the jade."
Next, Mr. Liu told chuchen all about the way he studied how to play on the jade plate. During this period, Mr. Liu unexpectedly discovered chuchen's terrible memory, which made him more satisfied with chuchen. He decided that as long as chuchen's character was really OK, he would accept this apprentice.
Chu Chen didn't know this, but he was also very satisfied with today's trip. He didn't talk about it before. Later, Liu also checked his knowledge in ceramic identification. In addition, with the permission of Mr. Liu, he went through some of the ceramic identification materials he collected, and these precious materials were not found in the market at all.
************************
after lunch in Liu's hometown, Chu Chen couldn't help cheering. Today's harvest is not big. Let alone other things, from Liu's attitude towards him, he understood that he was getting closer and closer to the goal of becoming Liu's disciple. Only by this, he had to be excited.
To be a disciple of Mr. Liu can not only make his way of collecting antiques more smooth, but also make some curfew people stay away from him because of his identity background.
Chu Chen's antique career in recent years, it is not that he did not see some dark side. For example, if someone gets a rare treasure, if he doesn't have a certain strength, it's not necessarily a blessing for him. Maybe some powerful people will seize it after they know it.
Chu Chen has heard of such things in recent years. And it's hard to stay, even if it's not a snatch. Therefore, he sometimes worries that he has more and more treasures. If others think about him, it's really a question whether he can protect these treasures by himself.
If you can become Liu's disciple, such problems will be solved. Although Mr. Liu used to be a senior official in the cultural department, his contacts and influence are not low, and it is said that his two sons are now in great power.
Thinking of this, the mobile phone in my pocket rings.
"Little Chu? Where are you now? Are you busy
"I'm all right now. I'm at home. Brother Zhao, what can I do for you? Do as you please
"It's no big deal. I'm going to attend an antique auction this afternoon, so I'd like to ask you to help me palm my eyes, OK?"
"OK, no problem."
"Well, give me your address and I'll pick you up right away."
Zhao Qirui came quickly. After Chu Chen told him the address, his car came to Chu Chen's downstairs without waiting for a while.
