No wonder Chu Di asked Xu Mingfei to help her look at the jade. It turned out that he had planned it for a long time. Lin Xiangwan looked at the white flowers that appeared and disappeared among the tree crowns. He didn't know what it felt like. It was a little sour and a little bitter, but he didn't know what it felt like.
The deepest part seems to be a little sweet.
"He didn't let me talk to you in the first place, but from the looks of you two, it won't work if you continue like this." Xu Mingfei tilted his head and looked at Lin Xiangwan's expression as he spoke. "People say that friendship is unnecessary.
Yan Shen, I'm sure it will be annoying when I say this. If you don't feel happy, it doesn't matter. Just interrupt me and I will never mention it again in the future."
"What did he tell you?" Although Lin Xiangwan didn't like others talking about her and Chu Di, she could still distinguish between good and bad people. Xu Mingfei was sincerely treating her well. She planned to hear what happened between herself and Chu Di.
What do others think about this bad debt?
Xu Mingfei felt relieved when she saw that she didn't get angry, "He didn't say anything, he just said that he treated you badly before and now he wants to make up for it."
With Chu Di's personality, what he said here was already very good. However, Lin Xiangwan was not surprised. She sneered coldly, "Not everything can be made up for. He is still fresh now.
Yes, you can bear with me if you can, but when the novelty wears off..."
Chu Di is by no means a soft-hearted person. He has many ways to make her life worse than death. When she thinks of him being angry, Lin Xiangwan feels cold in her heart.
Xu Mingfei sighed, "Speaking of which, I am the least qualified to advise others. My family's life is like this... However, there is something I want to tell you. Someone told me a long time ago. There are some things that I know have already happened.
Once the past has passed, stop thinking about it persistently; for some people, when you know they have gone far, there is no need to invest anymore; sometimes, when you know your heart is already very tired, don’t force yourself to support anymore. Meaningless people and things,
Just let it go. Persistence may seem like an unbreakable armor, but it’s more likely to be a sharp sword that stabs your own heart.”
Xu Mingfei's voice was as soft as a piece of fine mutton-fat jade, and his tone of voice was gentle when he spoke, which made people feel very comfortable.
After Lin Xiangwan listened to her words, he didn't say anything for a long time. Xu Mingfei had heard about the two of them to some extent, and knew that those old hatreds could not be solved by just one sentence. Although she had good intentions, the final result would be
Anyway, it still depends on the decision of these two people.
She and Lin Xiangwan sat for a while longer. It was almost time for the show to begin. More and more people came to Yingqi to buy jade or watch the fun. Lin Xiangwan noticed that many white-haired old men who looked highly respected came to Yingqi.
When Xu Mingfei came to visit, he took the initiative to nod to her.
Lin Xiangwan couldn't help but asked curiously, "Are you famous here?"
Xu Mingfei smiled gently, "It's just a false reputation. I've won a few gambling games. It's just good luck."
"You are too modest. Winning one bet is luck, winning several bets is skill." Lin Xiangwan was just polite. She didn't know that in the stone gambling industry, winning or losing is a matter of fate.
The difference is that if you can win several games in a row, you are definitely an expert and the best among them. As for Xu Mingfei, since she entered this industry, she has never lost except for one accident.
"It's almost time, let's go in. It's too late, and I'm afraid that all the good stones will be picked away."
Xu Mingfei led Lin Xiangwan into the inner courtyard in a familiar manner. After bypassing an eight-sandwood screen, Lin Xiangwan entered the core area of the Stone Gambling Club.
There are no other unnecessary ornaments in the room of three or four hundred square meters. There are only large and small jadeite stones on the open space. There are two or three people surrounding each stone, either watching or commenting. At the end of the room
Inside, there was an old-style accounting counter, and a young man sat behind the counter, his head slightly lowered, as if he was calculating something, so that no one could see his features clearly.
"After selecting the stone, go over there and pay the money. You can open it now or wait for everyone to open it together." Xu Mingfei and Lin Xiangwan explained the rules here. Lin Xiangwan looked around and saw that the rough stones were different in appearance.
, the prices are also different, there are tens of thousands, there are also millions.
She touched her pocket and felt for a moment that her wallet was going to be in trouble.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Xu Mingfei's ability, but it's just that if she was asked to take out so much money at once, even if she could get a deal soon, Lin Xiangwan felt heartbroken. She had spent the past few years thinking about how to make money, and spent money lavishly.
It's the first time.
Chu Di saw her hesitant look and felt funny at first, then sad.
It was only tens of thousands of yuan, which was not a big sum for him or even for an ordinary small businessman, but it made her so embarrassed. How miserable has she been in these years? When she was with him,
He didn't dare to say anything else. He never made her feel embarrassed when it came to money.
Xu Mingfei had a lot of acquaintances here, and people came over to say hello and talk to her at every turn. She was so pestered that she had no choice but to smile apologetically at Lin Xiangwan and said, "I have to go socialize. They are all old acquaintances of the family, so I'm being ignored."
I'm afraid they won't have a good time in the future. You choose first, and when you find a good one, pick it out, and then I'll show you the same one."
Lin Xiangwan quickly said, "It's best this way. You can go about your business and don't worry about me."
Unprocessed raw jadeite is called "wool material". In the jadeite trading market, raw jadeite is also called "stone", and wool that is full of green is called "color goods"; wool with uneven green color is called "flower brand material".
Large pieces of jadeite material without high jadeite are called "brick materials". Jadeite woolen materials that are completely wrapped in a leather shell and have not been cut or opened (also called doors) are called "gamble stones", or "gamble stones".
Gambling goods".
The stone gambling industry has been around since the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and has a history of more than 300 years.
The Luo family's Stone Appraisal Club is quite famous in the stone gambling business. Except for Lin Xiangwan, all the attendees are old people in the industry. Lin Xiangwan followed behind those people. At first, he wanted to hear what they knew.
What did she say? But in the end, she just watched them milling around the rocks, mumbling something that she couldn't understand at all. The more she listened, the more she listened. In the end, she simply stopped following them and squatted in the corner, looking for them.
These bricks that no one wanted were looked at with great interest one by one.
"How can you do this? Although these are cheap, the leather cannot be green at first sight." Chu Di looked at her picking here and there like picking up rags. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he said.
Lin Xiangwan was picking hard, and when she heard what he said, she didn't even raise her head, "Have you ever heard of people talking about picking up leaks? Ming Fei said that my new hands are strong, so I might be able to pick out treasures from this pile of rocks. You
Aren't we talking about business with the Baili family? Why don't we talk about it anymore?"
You are obviously afraid of spending money!
Chu Di knew in his heart what Lin Xiangwan was thinking, but he couldn't say it, so he simply took her arm and lifted her up from the ground, "I'm so angry with you that I'm going to be sick, how can I still think about doing business with me?"
.Don’t look at these broken stones. If you could really pick them up, they would have been picked up long ago. It’s not your turn. You’d better look at something serious. I’ll take a look at that one.”
Lin Xiangwan glanced at the stone that he thought was good, and immediately became stiff. I wonder if it was because the stone's leather was so good. A small stone actually cost hundreds of thousands. The more Lin Xiangwan looked at the string of zeros, the more he felt.
Feeling dizzy, she waved her arms randomly and said to Chu Di, "We agreed that I would choose by myself and Ming Fei would look at it for me. Why are you joining in the fun? If you like to buy it yourself, will it be a golden jade or a bad catkin?
You must be responsible for yourself. Hey, you are not interested in me as a pile of rocks, and then deliberately say these ugly words, are you?"
Seeing her looking at him very warily, like an old hen guarding the pile of bricks in the corner that no one wanted, Chu Di felt angry and funny. He got carried away and poked Lin Xiangwan in the forehead with his finger.
"Look at how short-sighted you are. I don't even want those stones that were given to me for free...you..."
Lin Xiangwan opened his mouth and bit it. Fortunately, Chu Di reacted quickly and pulled his finger back in time.
Lin Xiangwan smacked her lips, leaving Chu Di behind who was glaring at her and unable to say anything. She hugged a pile of small broken stones and continued to hunt for treasures.
"Sir, how do you sell this?"
Luo Yang, who was sitting on the table and settling accounts, immediately raised his head when he heard someone asking. Seeing Lin Xiangwan pointing to a big stone placed in front of his table, he smiled and said, "Guest, this is not wool.
It's a stone mixed into the wool, so it's not for sale."
Lin Xiangwan was immediately discouraged when he heard that they would not sell it. Although the stone was not big, it was covered with a light azure color and looked very beautiful. Lin Xiangwan did not understand jade and felt that this stone
It's prettier than anything else in this house.
Luo Yang saw Chu Di behind Lin Xiangwan. Chu Di winked at him. Luo Yang was startled for a moment and then immediately added, "If the guest likes it, I will give you this stone."
As soon as he fell asleep, someone would hand him a pillow. Lin Xiangwan felt so happy that he said reservedly, "Isn't this good?", and raised his hand to take the stone into his arms.
Why don't you extend your paw? Chu Di couldn't stop his headache and felt that Lin Xiangwan, whom he hadn't seen for several years, was about to become a money addict.
Luo Yang smiled so brightly that he waved his hand and said nonchalantly to her, "There's nothing wrong with it, as long as the guests and Mr. Chu come to take care of the business more often."
After looking around at the stones, Xu Mingfei was also very busy. She walked to Lin Xiangwan, took all the stones in her arms, and studied them carefully one by one.
Lin Xiangwan saw her brows getting tighter and tighter, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there a green patch?"
We hadn’t seen each other for a while, and Lin Xiangwan also spoke some professional terms, but these professional terms could not save her miserable fate. Xu Mingfei shook his head in embarrassment, and then he saw the bulge in one of her pockets, and pointed at it.
"What is this? You are hiding a treasure and are reluctant to show it to me?"
"Of course not. This was given to me by the shop owner, who said it was not jade." Lin Xiangwan took out the azure stone and put it in Xu Mingfei's palm. Xu Mingfei took it and shined it in the sun, and immediately let out an exclamation.
