"What are you doing with the flashlight? You...you don't mean to..."
When Qin Xuanbing saw the thing in Zhuang Rui's hand, she couldn't help but asked strangely, and then her face turned red. She couldn't do that tonight. Zhuang Rui wouldn't think of any new tricks, right?
"What are you thinking about? Let me show you something nice..."
Zhuang Rui didn't pay attention to Qin Xuanbing's reaction, and spread out his left hand. In the palm of his left hand, it was the Changshi stone he just bought for 200 yuan.
"Oh, why did you bring this stone to the bed? It's so dirty..."
Qin Xuanbing thought it was something good, so she couldn't help but push Zhuang Rui and asked him to quickly put it back on the table.
Zhuang Rui smiled proudly and said, "It's okay. I just washed it. It's not dirty. Hehe, I didn't expect to find a good item here..."
"Uncle De said, this stone is worthless..."
Qin Xuanbing also heard the story and was quite dissatisfied with Zhuang Rui's words. She reached out and took the stone from Zhuang Rui's palm.
The scrubbed stone was a little cold, but also much smoother. Qin Xuanbing looked at the light over and over for a long time, but she didn't see what Zhuang Rui said.
"Hey, look at it this way..."
Zhuang Rui smiled and turned off the lights in the room, and then covered his head with the quilt. If he turned off the lights, there would still be a trace of moonlight shining in the room, but after covering it with the quilt, it became a blur.
It's pitch dark.
Not only was it invisible under the quilt, but it was also extremely silent. Both Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuanbing could hear each other's heartbeat.
"ah!"
A beam of light shone fiercely on Zhuang Rui's face, causing Qin Xuanbing to scream in fright. Zhuang Rui quickly covered Qin Xuanbing's mouth. If others heard this, he might not know where he was going.
"You scare me to death, why are you looking at your own face..."
Qin Xuanbing pinched Zhuang Rui out of embarrassment. The beam of light just now shone on Zhuang Rui's face, which made him look completely white. No matter who he was, he would be shocked.
"Look at this, look at this, haha, I didn't mean it..."
Zhuang Rui knew he was in the wrong, so he quickly diverted Qin Xuanbing's attention, shined a bright flashlight on the stone in his hand, and motioned Qin Xuanbing to look at it.
"I can't see anything, it's no different from before..."
Although the flashlight illuminated Zhuang Rui's left hand very clearly, and even the fingerprints could be clearly seen, the stone still had no change and was still the same yellow-orange color.
Zhuang Rui turned the stone over, pointed at the corner, and said to Qin Xuanbing: "Hey, I forgot about it. Take a look again..."
"It's still the same... Hey, why is there red?"
Qin Xuanbing didn't take a closer look just now, but now she can see clearly under the light. The stone skin at the corner of the originally smooth stone seems to have peeled off a layer. Looking through the bright light, you can faintly see the bright red color inside.
"Hey, this is not an abandoned Changshi stone, but a piece of chicken blood stone..."
Zhuang Rui proudly put away the stone, lifted the quilt, and turned on the bedside table lamp, and the room suddenly became bright again.
"Soapstone, Uncle De didn't even notice it. Husband, you are awesome!"
Qin Xuanbing kissed Zhuang Rui on the face, but she didn't care much about the small stone in Zhuang Rui's hand. In her opinion, even if it was a piece of chicken blood stone, it was not a big deal. After all, the stone was too small. If
Grinding off the outer stone skin will make it even less conspicuous.
"Hey, let me tell you, this is a full blood chicken blood stone, the quality can reach that of Dahongpao..."
Zhuang Rui was extremely dissatisfied when he saw Qin Xuanbing's reaction. You must know that in terms of quality, this piece of chicken blood stone is comparable to the imperial green in jade. Although it is smaller in size, its value is not cheap.
"Da Hong Pao? Isn't that a kind of tea produced in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian?"
Qin Xuanbing really didn't know much about chicken blood stone, and what she said made Zhuang Rui dumbfounded.
"Hey, Miss, the price of this thing is almost the same as the blood jade bracelet I gave you, and the purple-eyed jade necklace my mother gave you..."
"What? It's so expensive for so little?"
Qin Xuanbing was really surprised. Not to mention that the purple eye necklace cost almost hundreds of millions, but even the blood jade bracelet cost tens of millions. This small stone was actually worth so much money, but it made Qin Xuanbing the first
Once again, he looked at it seriously.
"Ahem...it's not that expensive, but it's just a little bit. If it's made of seal material, it would definitely be worth three to five million..."
Zhuang Rui corrected his slightly exaggerated statement, but if this piece of chicken blood stone was placed in the hands of a collector who collects seal stones, it would definitely be a priceless treasure.
Just under a thin layer of stone skin, Zhuang Rui saw a color as thick as condensed chicken blood. In that utility room, the shocked Zhuang Rui almost screamed.
Because the stone that appeared in his eyes, the red color inside the stone showed a phantom scene of overflowing light, as if a live chicken had just been slaughtered and the chicken blood was poured on it. This is what the best chicken blood stone is called.
The phenomenon of "activating blood".
Zhuang Rui had seen many high-quality soapstones at Uncle De's house. When he was working in the pawn shop, there were also some soapstone seals in the warehouse, but none of those objects could compare with the soapstone in his hand.
Although the stone skin has not been opened, Zhuang Rui can already conclude that this is definitely a top-quality Dahongpao bloodstone with six sides completely red, and it has no impurities. If it were put up for auction, this stone would be enough to drive many collectors crazy.
You know, in recent years, the collection of seal stones has been extremely popular, and good quality chicken blood stones and field yellow stones are hard to find.
Just at the beginning of this year, a multinational auction house sold a chicken-blood stone seal used by Emperor Qianlong. The starting price was 12 million yuan, and the final actual auction price reached 32 million yuan. This also set a record for the auction of a chicken-blood stone seal.
.
Of course, the Qianlong seal has its own unique historical background and cultural heritage, but on the other hand, the value of the bloodstone itself cannot be denied.
"Rui, how did you discover it? Uncle De didn't even realize it was a bloodstone. By the way, how did you know it was a red bloodstone..."
Qin Xuanbing looked at Zhuang Rui with admiration, but the words that came out of her mouth made Zhuang Rui stunned. He was just happy, but he forgot that before the bloodstone was untied, he was bragging that it was all
Red, isn't this a bit nonsense?
In fact, Qin Xuanbing didn't expect this, she just asked casually, but after asking, she felt something was wrong, and then looked at Zhuang Rui suspiciously.
"Well, when I stepped on it, the stone skin on the corner of this piece of soapstone was polished by the ground, revealing a trace of red..."
Zhuang Rui paused for a moment when he said this. Qin Xuanbing was anxious and asked quickly: "I have also seen this red color, but I can't see it elsewhere..."
"Grandma, you can't make this kind of mistake again..."
Zhuang Rui cursed himself in his mind, wasn't he forcing his friends to make up lies, and also to make them reasonable? In a hurry, Zhuang Rui also scratched his head.
"You are a layman. Let me tell you, when I was studying miscellaneous appreciation with Uncle De in Zhonghai, I once saw in a seal book that the chicken blood stone wrapped in yellow stone skin is generally the best among stones, and the best quality appears. Dahongpao’s chances are quite high…”
Zhuang Rui is also bullying Qin Xuanbing for not understanding antiques. Those antique records only record the origins and inheritance of these items, but they do not bother to write down identification methods. And the trace of chicken blood red that is revealed is what Zhuang Rui just said in the bathroom. The ground was ground out.
However, when Zhuang Rui said this, Qin Xuanbing was relieved of her doubts, because when Zhuang Rui bought this little chicken blood stone, Uncle De didn't play with it, but was just looked at by Lao Wangtou.
"Husband, you are so awesome..."
Qin Xuanbing looked at Zhuang Rui, who looked confident, with deep love in her eyes. Although she did not pick up the bloodstone herself, Qin Xuanbing also felt extremely satisfied and wished that she could have some more bloodstones for Zhuang Rui to identify. .
"Ahem... average, far worse than Uncle De. By the way, Xuan Bing, we can just keep silent about this and make a fortune. Don't tell anyone. If Uncle Wang finds out about this, then others will talk about it. If you don’t tell me, I will definitely feel uncomfortable..."
Although what Qin Xuanbing said was to praise herself, Zhuang Rui sounded guilty. If Qin Xuanbing showed off to Uncle De again tomorrow, the peep show would be exposed, so he quickly gave Qin Xuanbing a few words.
"Okay, I understand, go to sleep..."
Qin Xuanbing agreed and turned off the bedside lamp. Although the two of them could not fight each other for real, they naturally wanted to be intimate, which was not enough to talk to outsiders.
Lao Wangtou's house is built on the mountainside. After getting up in the morning, you can see the clouds and mist from above, and the green trees when you look down. Open the window and take a breath of fresh mountain air, and you will feel comfortable. A lot.
The crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs from the foot of the mountain made this pastoral spring scenery even more beautiful. These are things that cannot be seen in the city. Zhuang Rui stood in front of the window for a while before going down at Qin Xuanbing's urging. Washed up.
"Xiaozhuang, come have breakfast, we will follow Lao Wang for a walk later..."
After walking out of the room, Zhuang Rui stood on the second floor and saw Uncle De playing Wu Qin Xi. He had practiced Wu Qin Xi for decades. Although it was not very practical, it was still good for strengthening the body. Zhuang Rui followed him and learned it for two days. Later, it was abandoned after leaving Zhonghai.
"Uncle De, didn't we agree to go to the market today?"
"Let's go to a few villagers' homes first. It's not too late to go to the market at noon, and people will come down from the mountain at that time. Maybe we can encounter some good goods..."
After Zhuang Rui walked downstairs, Uncle De also put away the shelf and took a towel to wipe his sweat.
