Jianbao life

Chapter 80 Liu Lao's Approval (Continued)
"You said you were too ambitious, so let me ask you, how much do you have in savings now?" Elder Liu asked with a smile.

"About 500 million." Chu Chen scratched his forehead and replied.

"Oh, I didn't expect Xiao Chu to be a rich man. Since you have so much money, you can't be so ambitious. Let me ask you about the house, but I, an old man, can't guarantee it! "Mr. Liu said while drinking tea.

After Chu Chen heard the words, he was overjoyed immediately, and thanked Mr. Liu again and again.He may still be able to buy villas or courtyard houses in other places, but in a villa area like Mr. Liu, who is either rich or expensive, it is really impossible to buy them based on his contacts. Now Mr. Liu It was really helpful to be able to ask him questions.

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't thank me first, we have to talk about whether it will work or not, let's continue with what we just did."

Although Mr. Liu said so, Chu Chen believed that this kind of thing was not a piece of cake for Mr. Liu, and then he said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, let me prepare first. I still need to see this thing." I need to get a basin of water."

Mr. Liu nodded in agreement, but Chu Chen's actions also aroused his interest.

After a while, Chu Chen came back to the house with a basin of water. This time he listened to what Uncle Wu said before, and specially took a smaller basin.But when he took out the jade cicada and was about to put it in the water, Mr. Liu suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Xiao Chu, wait, show me what you have in your hand first!"

Chu Chen was a little surprised by Mr. Liu's reaction, and handed Yuchan to Mr. Liu.

After Mr. Liu took the jade cicada, he fell into deep thought. After waiting for a while, he lifted up the bright red jade cicada and observed it carefully. Then he sighed and said to Liu Qinshu who was standing aside: "Xiao Shu, go and get a glass."

Then, seeing Chu Chen's strange expression, Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Xiao Chu, are you curious that I will be so excited when I see this jade cicada? If I guess correctly, this is a reborn jade cicada. Cicada, right?"

Chu Chen was taken aback when he heard the words. Judging from Mr. Liu's reaction, he should be no stranger to bodiless jade, so he asked in surprise: "Mr. Liu, this is indeed a bodiless jade cicada. Did you see it when you were old?" Have you ever had a bodiless jade?"

Mr. Liu said with a bitter smile, "Of course I've seen it, and I had one before."

At this time, Liu Qinshu came in with a glass, and after Mr. Liu took it, he scooped some water from the basin, and said, "Let's talk about my affairs later, now let's take a look at the magical behavior of this jade cicada." place."

The jade cicada was put into the cup, and in an instant, the clear water soaked the whole jade cicada, only a smear of red was seen, and immediately gushed out of the jade cicada, so that the clear water in the cup was instantly dyed red.

Gradually, the water became more and more red, and finally the whole glass of clear water turned blood red. At this time, looking at the jade cicadas inside, it seemed a little shining, giving people a beautiful feeling.

"What's going on here!" Originally, Liu Qinshu, who was still a little confused, was extremely surprised when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but moved to the cup and stared intently.

At this time, Mr. Qian was also very excited. Looking at the scene in his eyes, his piercing eyes became very shiny, and he cried out from time to time.

"It's amazing! I'm not dreaming!"

Liu Qinshu said in amazement, her face was full of shock and she couldn't believe it: "Dad, is this the kind of bodiless jade you mentioned before?"

"Yes, it's the bodiless jade!"

Mr. Liu nodded heavily, and then said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, I used to own a jade cicada, but the color is not as red, and the quality is not as good as yours. Are you a jade cicada?" I don't want to ask, where is my bodiless jade? Let me tell you, it's ruined!"

"Ah?! How could it be destroyed?" Chu Chen couldn't help being surprised when he heard Mr. Liu's answer. How could such a precious thing be destroyed?

Then, Mr. Liu said sadly: "Yes, it's ruined! Speaking of it, this is all my own problem. I was only in my twenties at that time. At that time, my luck was also very good. It was commonplace to pick up leaks. Seeing Xiao Chu's luck now reminds me of when I was young, and it feels really kind."

Speaking of this, both Chu Chen and Liu Qinshu were a little stunned. No wonder Mr. Liu especially liked him (Xiao Chu). It turned out that there was such a factor.

"At that time, I also got a small piece of bodiless jade by accident. I was so excited for a while, I showed it off everywhere. Just like you, Xiao Chu, every time people look at it, I put the jade in a basin of water , let everyone appreciate it, see how others are amazed, and feel complacent.”

Speaking of this, Mr. Liu sighed: "At that time, I never thought that the red color in this jade would not be lost. Once, when there were many people looking at it, I put the jade in a big vat. You will also know."

When Chu Chen heard this, he looked at the jade cicada in the cup with lingering fear, but he thought of another question, and asked, "Old Liu, I heard a saying that the formation of bodiless jade is related to human nature. If you play for a long time, the infiltration of blood energy has something to do with it, so if your jade is played for a long time, won't it recover?"

Mr. Liu clapped his hands and said: "Although there is no definite number for the formation of bodiless jade, your argument is also reasonable. It's just that we didn't understand bodiless jade at the beginning, and when I was sad, I accidentally dropped it. Yes, this incident is the biggest regret in my life."

Seeing Elder Liu's sad appearance, Liu Qinshu quickly asked Chu Chen, "Xiao Chu, do you have any intention of transferring this jade cicada?"

Chu Chen understood her feelings, but this request really made him very embarrassed, but at this time, Mr. Liu said a little seriously: "Xiao Shu, your request is a bit unreasonable. If it were you, you would be willing to transfer it." Is it? If you spread it out, why don’t you say that I’m relying on the old to sell the old?”

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen quickly said, "Old Liu, don't be angry, Aunt Liu just said that because she cared too much about you."

And Liu Qinshu also bowed his head at the right time and admitted his mistake.

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "Okay, Xiao Shu, I understand what you mean. However, a person's life is never perfect. If you miss it, you will miss it. Xiao Chu is a good jade cicada, but in I still can’t compare to the one I got in the first place.”

"Mr. Liu, you are wrong, my jade cicada is not as good as the jade you got back then, no one will believe it!" At the end, Chu Chen deliberately showed an exaggerated expression on his face. expression.

Seeing this, Mr. Liu laughed and scolded: "Xiao Chu, I haven't realized before that you are so naked when you flatter."

Liu Shuqin next to her was also amused by Chu Chen's exaggerated expression.

Chu Chen laughed for a while, and then said: "Mr. Liu, I have one more thing to do this time, and I just want to ask you, what should you pay attention to when playing with the jade plate?"

"You really asked the right person about this matter. After I got that piece of jade, I consulted many classics, and later summed up a set of methods for playing with jade."

Next, Mr. Liu told Chu Chen the method of playing with the jade plate he had studied. During this period, Mr. Liu accidentally discovered Chu Chen's terrifying memory, which made him even more fond of Chu Chen in his heart. Satisfied, he decided in his heart that as long as Chu Chen's character is really good, he will accept this apprentice.

Chu Chen didn't know this, but he was very satisfied with today's trip, let's not talk about the previous things, and then Mr. Liu checked his knowledge of ceramic appraisal.Moreover, with Mr. Liu's permission, he read some of the materials he had collected on ceramic identification, and these precious materials were not found on the market at all.

************************
After returning home from Liu's hometown after having lunch, Chu Chen couldn't help cheering.Today's harvest is not insignificant, not to mention other things, from Liu Lao's attitude towards him, he understands that he is getting closer and closer to the goal of becoming Liu Lao's disciple. the excitement.

Being a disciple of Mr. Liu will not only make his collection of antiques more smooth, but the key is Mr. Liu's identity and background, which will make some youngsters stay away.

It's not like Chu Chen hasn't seen some dark sides in his antique career in the past few years.For example, if someone gets a rare treasure, if he does not have a certain strength, it may not be a blessing for him. Maybe some powerful people will grab it by force after learning about it.

It is not uncommon for Chu Chen to have heard of such things in the past few years.And even if it wasn't for usurpation, it would be very difficult for him to stay.So he is also very worried sometimes, his treasures are getting more and more, if others think about it, it is really a question of whether he can keep these treasures with his powerless self.

If he could become Lao Lao's disciple, problems like this would be easily solved.Even though Mr. Liu was only a high-ranking official in the cultural department, his connections and influence are not low, and it is said that his two sons are not low in power now.

Thinking of this, the phone in his pocket rang.

"Xiao Chu? Where are you now? Are you busy?"

"I'm fine now. I'm at home. Brother Zhao, do you want me to do anything? Just tell me."

"It's nothing serious. I'm going to attend an antique auction in the afternoon, so I'd like to trouble you to help me with my eyes. How about it?"

"Ok, no problem."

"Well, tell me your home address, and I'll come pick you up right away."

Zhao Qirui came very quickly. After Chu Chen told him the address, his car came downstairs to Chu Chen's without waiting for a while.
