Zhao Zheng was noncommittal about Chen Jing's words. Now he was increasingly doubting whether Chen Jing was God's illegitimate son.

"What object is it this time?" Zhao Zheng took out a magnifying glass and asked while picking up the small box on the tea table.

Chen Jing responded: "It should be a tourmaline pearl."

"Huh?" Zhao Zheng was slightly startled. He opened the small box and took out the half-egg-sized tourmaline beads, and then said, "You kid actually knows about tourmaline beads. This is a less popular item than an inkstone."

Chen Jing responded without changing his expression: "I just saw it in a book some time ago."

Zhao Zheng nodded, without saying anything else, and took the tourmaline beads and carefully identified them.

Chen Jing poured himself a cup of tea and drank it while quietly waiting for Zhao Zheng's appraisal.

Speaking of which, I don’t know if it’s because he drinks tea with Zhao Zheng almost every day. Chen Jing also likes drinking tea now. The taste is slightly bitter in the entrance and sweet afterward.

Divide the meaning of life.

In this world, don’t most people experience bitterness first and then sweetness?

After a while, Zhao Zheng carefully put the tourmaline beads back into the small box and said with surprise: "Xiao Chen, you really missed it again. This tourmaline beads is undoubtedly genuine. How lucky are you?"

"

Chen Jing chuckled and said, "I don't know, I just happened to see it. At that time..." He briefly talked about what happened on Jinfeng Mountain.

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Zheng heard this, he actually showed a look of enlightenment and said: "No wonder Fang Wei's people came yesterday to inquire about you for no reason. I was about to ask you if you had any issues with Fang Wei. It turned out that it was

Because you snatched the treasure from right under his nose."

Chen Jing was a little confused when he heard this and asked: "Uncle Zhao, do you know that bald man?"

"I know him. He is a seasoned veteran of Changcheng Antique Shop. He is the same person as Gao Fu, but his appraisal skills are worse than Gao Fu's. He almost makes money by deceiving people. This time, you robbed him of his treasure.

He deserves it." Zhao Zheng nodded and said rather disdainfully.

Chen Jing heard the disdain in Zhao Zheng's words and knew that he didn't take Fang Wei seriously at all, but he still asked cautiously: "Uncle Zhao, will there be no trouble?"

Zhao Zheng waved his hand casually: "Don't worry, even if I borrow ten of his courage, Fang Wei won't dare to do anything."

After hearing these words, Chen Jing was completely relieved. He stopped mentioning Fang Wei and asked instead: "Uncle Zhao, how much is this tourmaline pearl worth?" This was the question he was most concerned about.

Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and responded: "This tourmaline pearl is very unpopular, but it is also rare at the same time. Because many people don't know it, there are very few that have survived to this day. In addition, yours is obviously polished manually.

It has this shape, so it can be basically concluded that it is an official hat worn by a second-rank official or above in the Qing Dynasty, so its value is pretty good."

After a pause, Zhao Zheng gave his estimate: "It should be worth more than 60,000, or around 100,000."

60,000 to 100,000. Chen Jing nodded when he heard this. He was quite happy in his heart. The value was not low. He bought it for 500. This was a big deal.

Again, it is not easy to detect leaks, and how can it be possible that every time a leak is detected, it is a big leak worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"Uncle Zhao, if you are so unpopular, I'm afraid it won't be easy to take action, right?" Chen Jing was happy but still a little worried.

It is difficult to find an individual collector even for inkstones, let alone tourmaline beads.

Zhao Zheng smiled when he heard this, reached out and picked up the tourmaline beads, played with them, and said, "It's a good move."

"Ah?" Chen Jing was slightly stunned when he heard this. How could such an unpopular item be easily sold?

"I want it." Zhao Zheng said with a smile on his face, "Isn't it easier to take action?"

"Uncle Zhao, please don't..." Chen Jing thought that Zhao Zheng was helping him, and immediately wanted to refuse. He was not so short of money now, and there was no need for Zhao Zheng to help him.

Zhao Zheng raised his hand to stop Chen Jing from continuing to say anything, and said: "Xiao Chen, don't think too much. I have no other intention. I really want to collect this tourmaline beads. First, it is indeed very beautiful. I want to collect it.

Secondly, I think there is a lot of room for appreciation of tourmaline pearls.”

Chen Jing looked at Zhao Zheng and saw that his face was serious. He believed him a little and said, "Uncle Zhao, I'll sell it to you for 60,000 yuan." He offered the lowest price.

It's not that Chen Jing doesn't want to open a lower price, but he knows Zhao Zheng a little now. This estimate was made by Zhao Zheng, and he won't agree to it any lower.

Sixty thousand is about the same. If it were anyone else, Chen Jing would definitely want to sell it for a higher price, but Zhao Zheng is naturally different. Chen Jing owes him a lot of kindness.

"Okay." Zhao Zheng smiled and didn't say much.

Chen Jing thought for a while and then said: "Uncle Zhao, then this money should be included in the share I will give you from the Qiyang Stone Inkstone."

"That's okay." Zhao Zheng nodded in agreement, but added: "When the time comes, you will supply me with more, and I will supply you with less."

Chen Jing opened his mouth and wanted to say that there was no need to make up for the missing amount, but looking at Zhao Zheng's serious look, he finally nodded.

Zhao Zheng is a man who makes a clear distinction between public and private affairs and calculates accounts very clearly. If Chen Jing wants to repay his kindness in terms of money, it will probably be counterproductive.

After discussing the tourmaline beads, Zhao Zheng asked with great interest about Chen Jing and Kong Xue watching the sunrise together.

In view of Zhao Zheng's experience in sister-brother love, Chen Jing had some thoughts in his heart to ask for advice, so he explained the situation in detail, and finally asked: "Uncle Zhao, what do you think Sister Xue thinks of me now.

"

Zhao Zheng took a sip of tea with a smile and asked: "What do you think?"

Chen Jing also drank tea and thought silently for a while before saying: "It should be better than before. I think I have hope."

"Yes." Zhao Zheng nodded, put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "I can probably tell that your sister Xue is not completely indifferent to you. She is just concerned about the age gap between you."

"Although the age gap is an objective factor, it is not really impossible to do, because people's ideas will change. When you completely dispel her concerns, she will be your girlfriend." Zhao Zheng said cheerfully,

He himself found this very interesting.

Even though he is so old, he still explains emotional matters to Xiao Chen, which is really a bit disrespectful.

Chen Jing felt that what Zhao Zheng said made sense, and silently thought about how he should completely dispel Kong Xue's concern in the future.

At this time, Zhao Zheng said again: "But Xiao Chen, have you really thought about it clearly? If you can really get rid of all your worries and get together with Kong Xue, then I guess you will get married soon. You are only twenty

Go ahead, are you sure you won't regret getting married too early in the future?"

"Maybe you think you won't regret it now, but as I said just now, people's ideas will change; Xiao Chen, you are really young, and you are very talented in antique appraisal and have good luck. I

I don’t even dare to say what achievements you will achieve in the future.”
