Jade Zhen, a jade qin pillar, is mainly placed on the top of the guqin to strangle the strings.

This kind of thing is a set, a set of five or seven or thirteen, it depends on the age, the strings of the qin were designated as seven strings in the Han Dynasty, and it was increased in the Ming Dynasty. To the thirteen strings.

The set of jade Zhen that Xu Wei saw was Qixian from the Han Dynasty. The knife workmanship is very simple, probably because the knife workmanship is too simple, it looks like a beginner's practice work.

Of course, if you ignore the bright halo of the sound of silk and bamboo on this set of five-stringed jade, this set of jade is indeed very inconspicuous. If you don’t study the guqin, you may think that the carvings are more abstract jade beads.

"Is this a jade pendant from the Tang Dynasty? There are five identical ones. Boss, this thing is a bit fake."

Xu You said this without blushing or panting, he looked like a fool who read two idle books and pretended to be an expert in front of the girl.

"This little brother is wrong. This is a set of jade ornaments for decorating clothes, which is different from jade pendants." Then, the boss picked up one of them, pointed to the small hole on it and said, "Look at , This is reserved for wearing colored thread, this set is tied with a webbing and worn around the body to decorate the dress."

Then he said something in a crackling voice, and hacked all over the world about the jade knowledge he didn't know where he got it from.

In short, this set of so-called Tang Dynasty jade ornaments is a high imitation and is of high value.

The boss also has a reputation for direct knowledge, until this thing is said to be true, no one would believe it, so he simply said it was a high imitation.

What's more, the price of old jade products may not be as high as the price of new ones.

It depends on the material of the jade, the carver, and the content of the carving.

"This set of jade, the little brother and the old brother won't bear you, it's only 3000 yuan, I don't want any more, what do you think?"

As he said that, he winked at Xu Wei, meaning that he should not be too picky to coax the little girl, otherwise it would be easy to push people away.

Xu Wei hesitated for a long time before paying back the price hesitantly, "How about two thousand, brother, I really don't have that much money in my pocket."

"Well, I think you are also a tourist, or a Chinese, two thousand seven, no less." The boss saw that the business was going to be successful, and his eyes were almost smiling.

"Uh, two thousand three, will it work?"

"Two thousand and six, give me a good word of mouth."

"Well, I bought it, brother, wrap it up for me."

After the two walked far away, Wang Qian approached Xu You mysteriously, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, what is that? Is it an antique?"

Xu Wei was also very happy, so he explained to Xiangqian, "It's Yuzhen, I think it's something from the Han Dynasty, so I missed it today."

"Yu Zhen, is that the thing that binds the strings?" Wang Qian is a history student, and the old man in the family loves collecting, so she knows everything.

"Yeah, that's the one."

Xu Wei was very happy, so he gave Wang Qian another lesson on popularizing knowledge about guqin.

In his heart, he was planning, the Jiaoweiqin at home has only one body left, and there is nothing else, this jade Zhen can definitely come in handy in his own hands.

In the future, it will definitely be a very special enjoyment to listen to "High Mountains and Flowing Water" played by Jiaoweiqin with all the odds and ends including the strings, guards, and wild goose feet.

But now, let’s take a stroll around the famous Pingzhou Jade Street.

There are also several very good gambling stone shops in Pingzhou Jade Street. Although there are still two days before the official start of the Pingzhou public market, many people have gathered in these shops, and most of them want to be in Pingzhou public. Before the market starts, try your luck with a good start and see if you can catch any mistakes.

After all, many of the gambling stone wool in these shops are eliminated from the public market, and in the same batch of wool, maybe there will be good rough stones leaked out, so that some people in the periphery can ask for a Cheap.

Not everyone is eligible to participate in the Pingzhou public offering.

Thousands of jewelry companies, shops, and jade lovers come to Pingzhou every year, but there are only a few hundred people who can participate in the public offering.

Ordinarily, Xu Er is not qualified, but Xu Er is now under the name of Wang Shuai's jewelry company.

Although the rough stone that Xu You bid on the public auction belonged to him, if Xu You wanted to sell it, he had to give priority to Wang Shuai's family.

Regarding this point, there is nothing to say. Although the price may not be as high as the auction price, the reason why Xu Wei was able to participate in the public auction was also thanks to the other party's blessing and taking up his quota, so it can be regarded as mutual benefit.

However, on the Pingzhou Jade Street, there are not only jade wool betting stones, but also Hetian jade seeds.

Hidden in a layer of strange and ugly rocks, jade was formed after 1 years of crustal changes. Like emeralds, people need to use their eyesight and luck to find them.

Speaking of which, Xu You had gambled with jade and stones, but he had never come into contact with rough jade. Pingzhou Jade Street gave Xu You the opportunity to get in touch.

And Yuzhai, a store that specializes in selling jade and providing gambling stones.The owner of this shop is very energetic, he can get both rough jadeite and Hetian jade from Xinjiang.

Although there are not many Hetian jade raw stones, only dozens of pieces piled up at the corners, they are much more complete than other merchants.

"Boss, I see that on the sign outside of you, it says Hetian Yuyuan Stone. Is that also a gambling stone?"

Xu Wei passed by Heyuzhai and saw the sign hanging outside, "Raw jadeite and Hetian raw stone, all kinds, starting at [-]."

"Both, welcome. I personally bought the goods from Xinjiang two years ago. Everything is real. If you fake it, you will pay ten."

The boss saw that someone was interested in his Hetian Yuanshi, so he came to greet him very happily.

These Hetian original stones have been stored here for two or three years. Although the things are indeed real, they are too poor in quality and no one is optimistic about them. Therefore, in the past few years, they have fooled passing tourists and sold a few occasionally to make a profit. travel expenses.

"It's all 50 yuan a piece? Including the big one?" Wang Qian was also very curious, looking at the Hetian Yuan stone piled up in the corner, and asked curiously.

"It's all fifty, and I'm optimistic about the free stone relieving." The shop owner pointed to the backyard, where there are two stone relieving machines, which are neatly placed in the yard.

"Where's the rough jadeite? What's the price?" Wang Qian didn't pick out the rough jadeite herself, and wanted to try her luck.

"The pair on the outside is also 50 yuan a piece, the one on the left side of the house is 1000 yuan a kilogram, and the one on the right is [-] yuan."

Most of the raw materials in this store are 1000 yuan per kilogram of raw stone, which can only be regarded as a very average performance in Pingzhou, but in Shanghai, it is also considered a good performance.

Although Wang Qian has learned both hands, but has no practical experience, and has only been to a few shops in Shanghai where you can gamble with stones, so she feels that the price of rough jadeite in this shop is very cheap, so she hastily abandoned Xu Er. I ran to the store to pick out rough jadeite.

This is the first time for Xu You to come into contact with Hetian jade raw stones, because he has not studied this kind of rough stones, so he can only 'look' at them one by one with his eyes. Fortunately, there are not many materials left in this store, and Xu You's eyes , and it has not been able to be used for a long time before.

There were more than 30 pieces of materials, big and small, and there were only two pieces inside, and the jade meat of one piece gave Xu Wei a slightly dry feeling. Xu Wei guessed that it should be relatively poor jade.

Xu Wei picked out five pieces, among which were the rough stones with jade flesh that he picked out just now, and put them all in a basket. After paying the bill at the shop owner, he went to the backyard, where there was a 40-year-old Shijie master who was Smoking a hookah.

"Old Liu, hurry up and explain the stone to this little brother." The shop owner followed him to the backyard and greeted him.

At this time, Wang Qian also came over, holding a piece of uneven jade wool in her hand, with a look of excitement on her face.

The jade wool is one trillion kilograms. Wang Qian spent 3 yuan on this piece, which is really not small.

Xu Wei's rough stones were opened twice, and they were all scraps of nothing. Wang Qian was on the sidelines, terrified, and she was more involved in the drama than Xu Wei.

Until the third piece, Xu You seemingly casually took out the astringent piece of jade, "Master Liu, this piece is relatively small, please wipe it for me."

To wipe the stone is to rub the outer shell with a machine bit by bit against the edge. Although it is laborious, it can ensure that the contents inside can be unscrambled in good condition.

Master Liu didn't say anything else, he directly brought the machine, put a basin of water beside it, took the rough stone that Xu Er was talking about, and started to rub it.

"Ah, the color has changed, the color has changed." Wang Qian squatted very close, and was the first to call out.

Master Liu also became very careful. He wiped the side of the stone and washed it with water, and the white and reddish jade flesh leaked out.

"It's two-color, and I don't know what it looks like inside. If the pattern looks good, it's worth the money."

Wang Qian said happily while looking at it.

Xu You was also very happy. He thought it was just a piece of jade, but he didn't expect it to be two-colored.

The part of the white jade is a bit yellowish, and the color is not very good, but the part of the red jade is really beautiful, like a drop of red blood dripping into the water, and it smudges, with an ancient beauty.

The whole piece of jade is about the size of a baby's palm. It is small and delicate, with no blemishes on it. When you take it back and carefully design it, you can see that it is a very beautiful pendant.

Xu You carefully wrapped the jade with cotton flannelette, put it in the backpack, and then continued to take out another rough stone that was empty, saying that it was wiped away.

As a result, nothing came out, which made Wang Qian feel regretful.

"The last piece, Master Liu, open it for me. This piece is bigger. Cut off all the extra corners."

Xu Er picked up the last piece of Hetian jade, which was also the one he was most optimistic about, and said.

"Okay." Today I cut four pieces of rough stone, and produced a piece of Hetian jade with a good quality, which made Master Liu quite satisfied. The business of betting on stones pays great attention to luck. If none of the stones opened today has increased , then today's business will be much worse.

After only two cuts, the fish meat was exposed inside, and it was still authentic mutton jade. Master Liu looked at the jade meat inside facing the sun, and his expression was very excited.

Nowadays, mutton fat jade in Hetian jade has rarely appeared. I didn't expect such a good thing to be sold in the store.

Suppressing his excitement, Master Liu carefully released the mutton fat jade that was as big as an adult's palm.

The whole piece of jade, placed in water, has a warm and lovely color, restrained and gorgeous.

"Little brother, how about selling this piece of jade to me for 20 yuan?"

"Not for sale." Xu You replied reflexively, and then realized that there was a stranger standing behind him.
