camouflage affectionate

An hour later, Ling Yu and Mi Tong appeared at the gate of Yuzang.

Yuzang is located at the intersection of Central and Sheung Wan on Hollywood Road. The facade is not too big. Among the modern buildings, the ancient vermilion gate is strung with two gold rings, which is very conspicuous.

Under the red wall and green tiles, a plaque hangs high, and the gilt font "Yuzang" is written by contemporary calligraphers and painters.

Hollywood Road is 360 days a year, and the most important thing is the flow of people. The overcrowding almost does not divide weekends.

Especially in recent years, this area has gradually developed into a check-in area for tourism Internet celebrities.

There are not a few people who come to Taobao, but most of them are tourists who go to treasure hunting places.

There was a long queue at the gate of Yuzang, and Ling Yu and Mi Tong could only stand at the back of the queue.

"Hey, I didn't expect there to be so many people at this point."

The two men holding the birdcage in front gathered together and sighed.

"Look, we don't have a show today."

"How to say?"

The fat man on the right just opened his mouth.

The closed vermilion door suddenly opened, and two waiters dressed as scholars came out.

The two shook their sleeves, bowed to the queue outside the door, and said in unison: "I'm sorry, everyone, today's appointment is full, please come back tomorrow,"

When these words fell to the ground, it was inevitable that the people who came to line up at noon would get a little angry.

There was a commotion in front for a while, and I don't know what the waiter said to them, but the crowd that had surrounded the vermilion gate scattered away.

Ling Yu and Mi Tong stood at the end of the queue, they looked at each other, didn't hear the reason given by the waiter, saw the crowd fade away, and walked to the gate of Yuzang.

The two waiters dressed as scholars probably thought they were unwilling to leave.One of the clerks in the crow blue long gown walked up to him and explained again tirelessly: "You two ladies, today's reservation is full, and Mr. Fan will come to the shop tomorrow. If you see him, why don't you go to our WeChat public today?" Make an appointment on the phone."

He deliberately used Mr. Fan's name as a speech technique, so that the guests who came to Yuzang would give him some face.

Mr. Fan's full name is Fan Liu, but no one dares to call him that. He is a craftsman. Whether it is an object from the pre-Qin period or a modern treasure, it can be safely restored to its original state through his hands.

Of course, apart from this handicraft, Fan Liu is also a treasure-appreciating master, and all the shops within 3000 meters of Hollywood Road are his apprentices.

When writing Jianbao before, Ling Yu had heard of this character, but she never expected to have the opportunity to meet a real person today.

In her latest serialized article, there is a plot.The protagonist meets a Tang Dynasty gold-encrusted agate cup unearthed in an ancient tomb. Originally, all the understanding of this ancient object stays in the previous life. Since there is this treasure in Yuzang and Fan Liu is beside him, Ling Yu felt that this trip should be fought for no matter what.

She smiled at the waiter, turned around and urged Mi Tong to take out the appointment number.

Mi Tong laughed dryly twice.

"That... Yuyu."

Mi Tong rubbed his hands awkwardly.

"No appointment?"

Mi Tong wished he could burrow into the ground and hang his head. What Ling Yu didn't understand was that everyone was a civilized person. They didn't have tickets and couldn't force their way in.

"That's it."

There was some regret in Ling Yu's tone.

The more generous the best friend showed, the more embarrassing Mi Tong became. She hesitated for a moment.

Suddenly he took out his mobile phone and waved at Ling Yu, expressing that he would find someone to find a solution.

Yuzang looks like a narrow shop from the outside, but in fact there is something else going on inside.

The decoration style of antique construction, octagonal pavilions, eaves, and rockery along the way.

The shop is at the innermost part, and the distribution of the hall is similar to that of a studio, divided into two areas: restoration of cultural relics and sale of antiques.

There is a large screen with a hundred birds facing the phoenix between the two areas, and there are two authors in the screen at the moment.

The curling incense is lit, and the tea is steamed.

Across the boiling porcelain pot for cooking tea, He Shuwen dropped the last piece in his hand, and the white piece was placed on the chessboard.

There was still a smile in her eyes, but it was a pity that the smile only lasted for three seconds.The woman playing chess twisted a sunspot, and then lightly landed in the middle of the Xingluo chessboard with one step.

Victory and defeat.

Gu Jin's phoenix eyes half-raised: "Accept."

What you win is not considered decent, a way to destroy yourself by three thousand and hurt others by ten thousand.

But she did win, He Shuwen sighed, looked up and down and looked at Gu Jin, seeing the latter's expression was calm, not surprised.

This character is more stable than his own. He Shuwen withdrew the seemingly invisible pressure in his eyes, and smiled helplessly: "Since my skills are not as good as others, I am naturally willing to gamble and admit defeat."

He Shuwen abruptly brought the topic to serious business, Gu Jin put down the movement of picking up the chess pieces, and raised his head slowly.

He Shuwen noticed that from the beginning to the end, the eldest lady of the Gu family did not show much emotion, neither eager nor overly prominent, and patiently waited for her to raise conditions.

This sense of proportion is very good, He Shuwen couldn't help letting go of making things difficult, and said, "As for Sasha, if Teacher Lin agrees, I have no problem here."

The expected answer sounded like he agreed, but He Shuwen was an old man in the circle, so he didn't fully agree to the matter.

There is still a level to go, but the result is good.

Gu Qing let out a long sigh of relief, stood up calmly, picked up the small teapot, and asked He Shuwen to refill the tea.

Then, through the screen, he called Fan Liu.Instruct him to pack the tea for today's drink and pass it to He Shuwen's assistant.

"You're trying to bribe me." He Shuwen teased her, with some jokes among friends evident in his tone.

Gu Qing followed with a smile: "Grandpa participated in the cooking of these teas, and they are not worth a lot of money."

Mr. Gu went to the tea factory to relax a few years ago, and he did participate in cutting two hair tips.

But there were only two of them. He Shuwen didn't see through it. The He family and the Gu family were originally aristocratic families, and this little tea was really not a valuable item in their eyes.

However, Gu Jing was indeed impeccable in his work, he just refilled two glasses of water, and the other party could tell at a glance that he had taken a good sip.

The more He Shuwen looked at Gu Qing, the more appropriate he felt. He took out a lady's cigarette from his pocket, lit the cigarette butt, and finally saw Gu Qing's surprised expression when he raised his eyes.

She took out another cigarette from the pack and handed it to Gu Qing: "Today is Xu Zhou's death day, I don't usually smoke it, just today, every year!"

He Shuwen held the cigarette stick between his arms and flicked off the ash: "Just one."

He Shuwen gave Gu Que a look of "Do you mind?" Gu Qing glanced at the cigarette stick in front of him, took it, and hung it on the pinna of the ear. The long curly chestnut hair was pinned behind the ear along with the cigarette stick, and for a moment she was so cold A look of cynicism appeared on his face: "I used to smoke too."

"and after?"

"Later... I couldn't smoke anymore."

Across the curling smoke, meeting He Shuwen's melancholy eyes, Gu Qing tactfully changed the subject, chatting with others at random, with Ling Yu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling along with the smoke in his head.

She suddenly missed her, and she hadn't seen her for twelve hours.

Actually live in a trance like years.

Both of them were a little absent-minded. At the end of the topic, He Shuwen simply didn't go around with Gu Qing, and casually mentioned a few words: "Lin has been studying antique jewelry for the past two years. A few days ago, the boss of Universal Entertainment asked our colleagues about Tang Dynasty jewelry Information about the Golden Beast Agate Cup, if you really want to impress her... you might as well start with this."

Gu Que restrained his thoughts and attracted Fan Laoliu to whisper.

Three minutes later, there was a new jade article on the table.

The beast's ears are cup handles, inlaid with agate and gold cap.The jade was placed in a transparent protective cover, He Shuwen snuffed out the cigarette butt, glanced up and down at the objects on the table, and after a moment, he praised: "I didn't expect you to have open goods here."

"It's all thanks to Sister Shu Wen's suggestion."

Just as Gu Que finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from outside the screen.

Considering He Shuwen's identity, Gu Qing asked Fan Liu to block all the appointments in advance to make the store quieter.

It stands to reason that there will be no more visitors at this point, Gu Que glanced at Fan Liu.

The latter obviously didn't know where something went wrong, and he repeatedly apologized and withdrew.

The big apprentice Heng Jiu had already personally received him, and tea was placed on the small retro round table outside the hall.

From a long distance, Fan Liu vaguely saw two beautiful ladies talking with Heng Jiu.

Fan Liujian was accompanied by a smiling face for a long time, and he guessed that the two guests must have gone because of the long-term relationship.

He couldn't help cursing inwardly, bastard, if he didn't stare at him for a moment, the apprentice made such a big mistake for him.

This time the eldest lady brought distinguished guests to the store to talk about things, and the itinerary is hidden, so it is not easy to disclose it to the outside world.He also did not tell the apprentices the reason for closing the shop in advance.

Who knows just for a moment...

For a while, I saw the apprentice took out a fake of the gold-encrusted agate cup made by the Tang Dynasty in Japan a while ago, and was introducing it to the two delicate ladies at the moment.

Fan Liu also walked over, planning to chase away people as soon as possible, so he didn't put on a good face.

Mi Tong entrusted the relationship of the boss of Universal Film and Television to contact Fan Liu's apprentice Heng Jiu.

It took a full half an hour just to enter the store, the setting sun was hanging in the sky, revealing a red disc, and after a while, it dispersed into the clouds.

On the opposite side, Heng Jiu, known as Fan Liuda's apprentice, introduced the origin of the gold-encrusted beast agate cup in the Tang Dynasty in authentic Hong Kong language.

Ling Yu rested her chin on her hands, and she didn't understand the local dialect very well, especially when this local dialect was mixed with local accents, she couldn't understand it even more. Her pale face was bathed in the setting sun, and the light flickered for a while. sleep.

In order to prevent herself from falling asleep, Ling Yu turned her head and asked Mi Tong: "What did he say?"

Mi Tong couldn't understand a word of the jargon in the antique world, and he didn't know anything about fineness or carving.

So I skimmed through the long and lengthy introduction of antiquities, and briefly summed it up: "She said you are beautiful."

Ling Yu waved her hands and spoke the unauthentic Hong Kong dialect: "I don't like you, you don't think too much about it."

As soon as she said this, the air was filled with embarrassment, and her expression froze for a long time, and she raised her eyes to see his master's ashen face.

His expression became more rigid.

Mi Tong on the side was not so restrained, even if she held back for a moment, the laughter inevitably overflowed, she held back the corners of her twitching lips: "No, he said you are good-looking, a beauty with jade, just right."

Ling Yu nodded with a smile: "Then you tell him that beauties are real beauties, and jade articles may not be real jade articles."

Inside the screen, He Shuwen took a sip of tea, and glanced at Gu Qing, who hadn't spoken a moment ago, with surprise in his eyes. He Shuwen deliberately teased her: "It seems that the little employee's behavior of slaughtering fat sheep can't go on." .”

Gu Qingweizheng couldn't see the guests outside clearly through the screen of a hundred birds facing the phoenix, but could she not recognize her own girlfriend's voice and the language art that was so arrogant that she could do whatever she wanted?

The small silver pot in her hand was slightly unstable, and a drop of water splashed out. This unsteady behavior caused He Shuwen, who had been observing her, to have a vague guess in his heart. She asked, "Know you?"

Gu Qing nodded honestly, and made a gesture to get up.

Fan Liu drove away Heng Jiu, and sat in the apprentice's seat.

He was wearing a short jacket from the Qing Dynasty, with a black round hat falling on the top of his head, and a braid behind him. At first glance, he was an elegant old gentleman.

"Miss seems to be knowledgeable. It was my apprentice who was ignorant just now. If you two don't dislike it, I will make you an apology for this little thing." Fan Liu was talking, and motioned to the shop assistant behind him to give Ling Yu the gift box of Hengjiu's counterfeit product. good.

Originally, this counterfeit was in good condition and extremely authentic, and the market price was guaranteed to be at least [-] yuan.

Usually, I would never give it away casually, but now the boss and the boss's distinguished guests are in the store.

After such a shameful incident happened, Fan Liu just wanted to spend his money and get rid of the disaster, and politely sent the two ladies in front of him away.

"Mr. misunderstood, the two of us only intend to take a look at your store."

A first-look item is a real item in jargon. Ling Yu is actually not interested in antiques, but only interested in the cultural value of this antique, as well as its identification method and detailed description.

Seeing Fan Liu here now, of course she wanted to ask.

It's a pity that the old gentleman on the opposite side was not very friendly. He briefly introduced the origin of this valuable jade wine glass to Ling Yu.

After Ling Yu asked two professional questions, Fan Liu's tone became more and more impatient.

After asking the last question, Fan Liu put on an uncomfortable face: "The Tang Inlaid Gold Beast Agate Cup is only owned by the Yuzang family in country Z so far. The boss took it at a charity party in country S a few years ago and spent a lot of time on it." One billion. Therefore, it is usually not displayed in the store.”

"Why don't I buy it?"

Fan Liuwan never expected that she would really want it, but since the collection was exhausted and he was going to give it away, Fan Liu definitely couldn't agree to Ling Yu, so he whispered to the waiter behind him.

After a while, a new Tang Dynasty gold-inlaid animal agate cup appeared on the table.

This is a fake that Fan Liu defended himself against. Generally, the fakes he defends against are about nine percent real.

With the intention of sending people away, Fan Liu asked for 30 billion.

Mi Tong almost laughed angrily at his behavior of talking like a lion, seeing Ling Yu pressing his hand, he had no choice but to turn around: "This thing is so expensive, forget it. Yuyu, let me tell you the truth, your little income this year Can't afford this."

Ling Yu looked at the jade on the table, and asked Fan Liu if he could take a closer look, and the latter gave him a casual look.

Seeing that Ling Yu insisted on buying it, Mi Tong had no choice but to change his words: "But, your wife is rich, and if you ask her for it, 30 billion is not impossible."

Ling Yu leaned over and took a careful look at the jade cup, then withdrew her gaze and leaned on the sofa.

Fan Liu asked: "Miss, do you need your family to come and pay for it in person?"

Ling Yu pursed her lips and smiled: "If you really want her to come over, maybe it will overturn your business."

"Sir, this little jade cup looks like it was made by hand in modern times. The workmanship is fine. It is several grades higher than the fake one just now, but a fake is always a fake."

Ling Yu pointed out that this was a defensive item, and Fan Liu couldn't help but lose face.

It is difficult for ordinary people to tell the authenticity of this object. He carved it with real jade. Except for the rare silk-wrapped agate on the cup body, there is no substitute. This jade cup can almost be confused with the real one.

Seeing him standing there, Ling Yu spoke with the utmost kindness: "The things my friend introduced to Yuzang are all good things. I didn't realize that the name was not worthy until I arrived. I can't even look at such things, let alone my wife's kind. ...a man of gold and jade."

Ling Yu's tone paused, and thinking of Gu Lu's mouth, she said again: "You speak of good deeds, maybe she will report your broken shop to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, and the Bureau of Cultural Relics."

Mi Tong laughed while listening.

Ling Yu sprayed Fan Liu's scolding blood on his head and warned him. The little old man squinted his eyes in embarrassment.

The apprentice behind him said with color: "Miss, if you can't catch your eyes, please come here."

It means there is nothing to talk about, get out!

Mi Tong stopped laughing, and this time stood up boldly, as if he wanted to argue with Mr. Fan, who was selling fake goods.

Ling Yu grabbed Mi Tong's wrist and stopped Mi Tong's behavior. She had observed when she came in before, and the men who made trouble at the door just now were stopped by the clerk with a few casual words.

This proves that this antique shop has an unusual origin. Although she is not afraid, she has a rice boy with her, so that she will not go head-to-head with someone without knowing the details of the enemy.

After getting along with Gu Qing for a long time, Ling Yu really felt that she had learned a little bit of the art of waiting for opportunities.

Thinking of this, she looked sideways lazily, and was about to pull Mi Tong away.

Suddenly a cold voice came from the innermost screen.

"Old Fan, you are not losing your identity."

As soon as these words fell, Ling Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, and the fingers on Mi Tong's wrist froze for a moment.

In the next second, a woman in a dark green long dress bypassed the screen where the phoenix was returning to its nest, and walked over gracefully.

She had an unsmoked cigarette stuck to her ear, which made her look a bit more of a villain.

As they got closer, Gu Qing's half-closed phoenix eyes looked at Ling Yu's finger that was pulling Mi Tong, the woman frowned.

Alarm bells were ringing in her heart, Ling Yu opened her mouth to explain a few words, and the next second.Someone pulled her forearm, and Ling Yu threw herself into Gu Qing's arms without any resistance.

Gu Qin's warm breath passed by his ears, and the two faced each other.It's almost touching the tip of the nose.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ling Yu didn't like such intimate contact, so she moved her hands. This action aroused her girlfriend's rebellious psychology. Gu Qing hooked her waist and pulled the belt into his arms.

She stuck to her chest as if nothing had happened, her face was serious, her phoenix eyes glanced at the jade on the table, her voice was a little lower, and she asked, "You like it?"

Ling Yu: ...

If you don't move around, I can paralyze myself and say I like it.

The eyes of the people around were all over, and Ling Yu gave Gu Que a look of moderation, which meant that she still wanted to nod at the moment.

The two looked at each other.Between the lightning and the flint, the atmosphere was a little tense.

Gu Jin lowered his eyes, seeing that the smile in Ling Yu's eyes faded a little, he curled his lips, and before she pushed him away, he regretfully opened the distance between the two of them, with a smile in his eyes, and rubbed Ling Yu's cheeks instead. head.

Fan Liu looked dumbfounded, and stammered: "Miss, do you know this one?

Gu Qin glanced at him, and that glance was light and cold, icy and snowy.

A cold feeling crept up his back, Fan Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned the prayer beads on his wrist, and said a few words "Amitabha Buddha" in his heart.

Gu Qing didn't criticize harshly, took Ling Yu's hand, and said in a calm tone, "I know. You should know each other too, Ling Yu, my fiancee."

Fan Liu's hand that rotated the beads on his wrist suddenly exerted force, the beads broke and hit the ground, and the expression on his face instantly looked mournful.

In the next moment, he showed an apologetic smile: "It's all my fault that I didn't know the door, and my eyes didn't recognize gold and jade. Madam Gu, look... how should I apologize for today's matter?"

Ling Yu gave him a sideways look, but she didn't make things difficult for the old man, she just raised her eyebrows, pointed at Gu Jin playfully, and said, "You can call her Mrs. Ling and it will be good."
