Chapter 1 Good Jade Master(1/2)
"From the eternal sky to the lunar spring hell, there are two sides of this world - what you can see and what you cannot see."
——"Notes from Master Shanyu"
If you have tens of taels of gold in your home, it is worse than Ningcui.
Most of the people who play with jade are rich and leisurely, and Lu Xiaoqi from Qingtong Lane is an exception.
Speaking of which, it is really a lively product at Qingtong Alley.
Lu Xiaoqi's jade antique shop "Shanyu Family", was originally a place where jade goods were sold seriously, but when Lu Xiaoqi got into the hands of him, he was squandered so that only an empty shell shop and a combination of skills were left!
This is something that outsiders like to hear. Wealth is only three generations, so who has never had a prodigal son?
What makes people even more talked about is that there are young women coming and going like a gust of wind in the Shanyu family every now and then. Most of them are rushing over with spring breeze, and then rushing like a tornado, and running out crying.
Leaving a handsome and romantic face with bruised eyes in the window behind me, Qingtong Lane was filled with endless aftertaste.
If the people in Qingtong Lane cannot see this wonderful scene for a week, the diners at the morning tea stall will feel empty.
Some even called the police and said that Lu Xiaoqi was missing.
The first time I was my sister-in-law who sold old cloth shoes next door. She called the police and said she hadn't seen this person for ten days, so she asked the police to find her.
The policeman who had just come to report was about to cry when he heard the phone, and felt that things were not small and he should have lost his son! He quickly reported it and saw that everyone was busy and he was busy. He was able to find a meal through the Tianyan camera!
Finally he was discovered.
When the little policeman broke into the door, the guy sat in the arms of a beautiful woman and was fed breakfast.
Later, the little policeman found out that it was not his mother who called the police, but the creditor.
After several times, the little policeman felt that he had figured out this person:
A prodigal, a soft-hearted man, a scumbag, a scoundrel, a man walking on the bottom line of the law.
Lu Xiaoqi is so poor that all the daily necessities are either borrowed or owed, and he has a lot of debts! Everyone in Qingtong Lane is his creditor!
Why are you willing to borrow?
Young Master Lu has a good tutor and borrows a toothbrush for 5 yuan. When he pays it back, he will give 8 yuan in principal and interest. This habit makes people feel like spring breeze!
Almost every household has an account specially prepared for him, Mr. Lu.
After paying off the old accounts for a few days, another new one was added, such as the fallen leaves in Qingtong Lane, stacked layer by layer, endlessly.
He was obviously a native pauper, but behind him, many people laughed at him and called him a living God of Wealth with some sincerity.
And Lu Xiaoqi himself said this is called making good friends.
So even if the people in this alley lose their wife, they cannot lose Lu Xiaoqi!
At this time, the morning light was dim and the fireworks on earth were rising. Lu Xiaoqi walked lightly, passing through the bustling traffic, and heading towards the deep alleys of the old city in the city. On the way home, he slipped sideways through breakfast stalls and greeted the stall owner enthusiastically:
"Miss Zhao! Let me make a cake today! Add two eggs to me!"
The old woman who was over fifty years old, who was called "Miss Zhao", didn't raise her head and cursed: "Little Chi Man! I owe me more than 200 yuan. If I don't give it to me, I'll go to your door to fill cakes, telling you not to open it!"
Lu Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, you can't blame me for this! Last time the beautiful girl came to me, and you next door, you robbed her and stopped her and asked her to help me pay back more than 100 yuan! If you took a few more steps, the account would have been settled long ago!"
Miss Zhao raised her head and glared: "I'm blamed for saying this? Every time a woman comes to you, how fast they chase you, have you not seen it?"
Lu Xiaoqi swallowed his saliva and quickly flattered: "How can you blame you? If you want to blame...it's just blame..."
He pointed to the rice ball next to him: "Blame him! An old friend of all these years actually snatched you from you? I heard that he even stepped on your feet that time? It's so presumptuous! He's so cruel!"
When Old Man Zhang heard this, he said, "Wow..." and bulged his cheeks and held the stick for rubbing rice balls, and was about to hit him!
Lu Xiaoqi immediately hid behind Miss Zhao and said with a smile:
"Look at how fierce he is... I still like you too much! Miss Zhao, please pay the bill... add two eggs!"
Lu Xiaoqi's Shanyu family has a large door head, and there is a small stone lion squatting on each side. The solid wood flower door set against the Dongyang wood carving is very classic and elegant. The signboard light box at the door says:
Repair jade, appreciate jade, ask jade, and make good friends.
To cultivate oneself, mind, and blessings, don’t have to pay credit!
The second floor of Shanyu Family, the furnishings are particularly simple.
A large bed, a large box next to the head of the bed, can be used as a bedside table, or a table or stool.
There is a long dressing mirror in the corner of the room.
A landline phone was hung on the wall.
There is no more.
Lu Xiaoqi sat on the box with a burp, and the sudden ring of the phone exploded him again.
"who?"
"Oh, you said that piece is immediately granted a marquis? I'm here, come and get it in the afternoon! Well, after the appraisal, it's either a white jade or a kava stone! The money is not worth it! Tell him clearly that the stone is not worth it, but my appraisal fee cannot be reduced!"
"Oh, another piece of old blue water jade? It's not blue water at all, that's just a piece of dangerous material! Ask him to take it back and stew it and replenish calcium!"
After hanging up the phone impatiently, Lu Xiaoqi plunged onto the bed, remembering the jade ring that had been secretly taken off the sleeping beauty when she woke up this morning, she quickly got up and took out the jade ring.
There are many windows in the Chinese-style room and the light is very strong. The jade ring is full of green all over the body, and the color is dark and the melon skin is the green flower type in jade, which has a different light in the sun.
Lu Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows, "Well!", and squeezed the ring tightly, pulling all the blackout curtains in the house.
The room was dark in an instant.
The ring was close to her and Lu Xiaoqi couldn't see it either.
In the darkness, he smacked his lips and whistled softly.
The whistle sounded and a green light suddenly appeared!
The force between Lu Xiaoqi's fingers numbed his hands. He simply threw away his ring and let it float in the air and fled around, but he could never escape from the square room.
Lu Xiaoqi put his hands on his sleeve and contemptuous:
"Okay, a white-eyed wolf, a beautiful girl who is nourishing and beautiful. She puts you on her fingers and sleeps. She has nourished you with warm and soft jade for so many years, but she has given you spirituality and retaliation for the master! As you are so thriving, I will not be able to eat her in a few years! How pitiful will I be if I don't have one person to treat me to a meal?"
The green light flew even more recklessly, trying to break through the boundaries and escape.
"Well...this taste! It's still the body smell of that girl! You have eaten so much yang energy to get a first-year life. The qualifications are too poor. I'll give you a chance.
How about I keep you?"
A delicate breeze of dragons erupted out of thin air, sweeping all the green light into it. After a moment, it was not left at all, and the house returned to darkness.
The curtains are opened, and the south wind is shining and sunny.
Outside the window, a piece of sycamore leaves fell gently, on the ancient stone street.
In the dressing mirror, the young man with a straight nose and eyebrows tilted beside the windowsill, holding the green ring and touching it:
"Seven-point color and five-point water, the quality is pretty good. Please wait for your master to pick you up!"
Put down his rings, watching the trees outside the window, the autumn insects chirping, and the pedestrians under the tiles were busy. Lu Xiaoqi remembered that he worked day and night these two days, so he stretched his waist to sleep.
The phone rings immediately, he stepped forward to take down the receiver, looked at himself in the mirror and said:
"Yes, this is the Shanyu family... Well, it's not expensive,
I am Master Shanyu, Lu Xiaoqi!"
Few people know the title of Master Shanyu.
In ancient Kunlun and Wangshan, they lived away from the world, were good at watching jade and wise, and could be the only way for ordinary people to do.
Starting from the late Qing Dynasty, tomb robbers were rampant, and ancient jade among cultural relics and treasures often appeared around the world with the awakened jade spirit, giving people endless imagination.
In Wang Shan's eyes, every piece of jade is a wordless book, which records the vast era he experienced and the life of his master.
But in the eyes of the world, when a piece of jade is labeled as a "cultural relics and antiques" or even a "orphan product", it symbolizes astronomical wealth, and people's cherishment of it immediately surges.
Since the 1930s, Wang Shan’s family has left Kunlun and hid in the crowd, and began to save Yu Ling’s life.
They are often willing to help collectors repair jade artifacts and call themselves "Good Jade Master".
There is color on the sea to dream, but there is no way for Wangshan to live forever.
The Wangshan family does not have a surname Wang, but most of them are Lu or Lu, and Lu Xiaoqi is one of them.
This day, the sycamore tree drizzled slightly.
Lu Xiaoqi lay bored on the counter, drinking the borrowed tea, and silently counted in his heart that the jade he saw these days was either fake or stiff. Without the jade spirit, it was rare that a few good-quality ones were also waiting to sell for the price several times, which was very sad.
The appraisal fee I just received was taken to pay off the debt before it was warming up. It was already noon, and Lu Xiaoqi's stomach was roaring, worried about who would have a good business today and be in a good mood, so that he could have a meal first.
"If you have another big business, that's great!"
At this moment, the door was creaking and walked into the two of them with a gust of wind.
"Boss Lu!"
Lu Xiaoqi looked up happily. The person who came was a man and a woman, both of whom were middle-aged and up.
She has fair skin, fine clothes, not obvious clothes logo, and her behavior is well-behaved. The woman has a dignified appearance, with her hair tied up, and wearing a black cheongsam with fragrant clouds, like Mrs. Guiyuan who came out of old Shanghai.
Lu Xiaoqi immediately had a score in his heart: These two people are well-educated players. When I came to me, I either appreciate jade or repair it... I was a fat sheep!
