Seeing the confusion on Kong Xue's face, Chen Jing smiled more and said, "Sister Xue, have you forgotten? The last time I picked up the tourmaline pearl, it was also when I was with you, and this time too."

Kong Xue also chuckled when she heard this: "It's true, then you have to thank me very much."

"Well, Sister Xue can express her gratitude in any way she wants." Chen Jing looked at Kong Xue with fiery eyes, full of affection.

Kong Xue also looked at him, pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm kidding you, there's no such thing as bad luck. If you don't have the ability to identify yourself, you won't be able to catch anything no matter how lucky you are."

"But just having the ability to identify is not enough without luck." Chen Jing deliberately retorted, and said: "In the future, I will ask Sister Xue to go out more often. Maybe I can find something wrong every time. Then it won't be long before I can

Made a fortune."

"Screw you, are you treating me, Sister Xue, as a lucky cat?" Kong Xue rolled her eyes at him, but her eyes were full of smiles.

When Chen Jing heard this, he subconsciously blurted out: "Sister Xue is not a lucky cat. Sister Xue should be prosperous..." Halfway through the words, he realized what he was saying and quickly shut up and coughed a few times in embarrassment.

But although the words were not finished, it was no different from the finished words. Kong Xue obviously knew what he wanted to say, and she felt angry and funny, and deliberately asked: "Why are you so prosperous?"

What else can I do to be prosperous? I am prosperous.

However, the two of them haven't confirmed their relationship yet, so Chen Jing was too embarrassed to say it directly. He could only touch his head and smile awkwardly.

Seeing him like this, Kong Xue suddenly smiled, just like the flowers in bloom, but this time Chen Jing saw it, and his eyes were stunned.

"That's silly." Kong Xue blinked, and then changed the subject, thus avoiding Chen Jing's further embarrassment.

"Xiao Chen, tell me tomorrow after you find out the price of the Guandi statue. If it is of higher value, then I will ask Shen Jing for you to see if it can be auctioned. If it is an antique auction, it should be possible.

Earn more."

"Oh, by the way, I didn't tell you before. Shen Jing works in an auction house. Her position is not low, so she can help you."

Kong Xue had previously thought that Chen Jinggang had just entered the antique shop and would not interact with the auction house so soon. The value of the tourmaline beads last time did not need to be taken to the auction house, so he did not mention it.

The situation is different now. Kong Xue also discovered that although Chen Jing has just entered the industry, his appraisal skills are not bad and he is very lucky. He is expected to deal with auction houses frequently in the future.

But she didn't know that Chen Jing had already interacted with the auction house, and that her best friend had secretly become a matchmaker.

When Chen Jing heard this, he said with some surprise on his face: "Sister Shen, does she work at the auction house?" Shen Jing naturally couldn't reveal the secret until Shen Jing took the initiative to tell Kong Xue about it.

"Well, it seems to be called New Century. It's quite powerful." Kong Xue didn't see any clues. Mainly, it wasn't something worth doubting. How could she have thought that Chen Jing and Shen Jing would meet again by chance?

I encountered it.

Chen Jingding nodded: "Yes, I understand, thank you, Sister Xue."

"Thank you." Kong Xue responded casually, and then seeing that it was getting late, she returned to her rental house. Just before going out, she turned back and said: "By the way, Shen Jing happened to be here this weekend.

You want to come to my place for dinner, shall we?"

"Okay." Chen Jing must have agreed happily.

…………

The next day, Chen Jing walked into Nabaoju happily holding a box.

When Zhao Zheng saw that he was holding a box, the corner of his mouth twitched. Before Chen Jing could speak, he said first, "Xiao Chen, don't tell me, you might have missed it again."

Chen Jing chuckled, put the box next to the tea table in the store, and said, "Uncle Zhao, you are worthy of being an old man. You really guessed it right."

"Oh my God!" Zhao Zheng, with his restraint, couldn't help but curse.

"I still need to guess. With how often you pick things up, why don't I understand when I see you walking in with a box in your arms?" Zhao Zheng's face was full of surprise.

I don't blame Zhao Zheng for this, after all, Chen Jing's speed in picking up leaks is indeed a bit fast.

"It's not necessarily the real thing, I just..." Chen Jing said this, and then Zhao Zheng waved his hand to interrupt him again, and said with a bit of laughter: "Okay, okay, your luck is so good.

, don’t say it’s not certain, I think it’s probably genuine, and when this person walks away, you can’t stop him.”

Hearing this, what else could Chen Jing say? He could only smile and carefully take out the statue of Guandi from the box.

"Uncle Zhao, help me palm my eyes."

When Zhao Zheng looked at the statue of Emperor Guan, he was slightly startled: "Hey, the statue of Lord Guan? This is not common." Then he took out a magnifying glass and examined it carefully.

Chen Jing was drinking tea nearby while waiting for Zhao Zheng to finish the appraisal.

After a while, Zhao Zhengcai said with some emotion: "It's really authentic. Judging from the style, it should be from the early to mid-Ming Dynasty. What kind of luck do you have? But it can be seen that this statue of Guandi may be authentic, which means that Xiao Chen, you

He is truly gifted, and it is quite interesting to evaluate his eyesight."

Apart from such illusory things as luck, the second half of Zhao Zheng's words seemed to have much more weight, but he was not very surprised. After all, he also saw Chen Jing's hard work and diligence.

"Uncle Zhao, you are too complimentary. I have just started." Chen Jing was embarrassed to accept Zhao Zheng's praise since his family knew about his affairs.

Immediately, Chen Jing also changed the topic directly and asked the question he was most concerned about: "Uncle Zhao, how much is this Guandi statue worth?" His face also showed joy and expectation.

Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and responded: "Antiques in the category of statues are also not popular in the market, and not many people collect them. However, your statue of Guandi is well preserved, with superb carving skills, and the copper used is also good. Besides,

In addition, it is an object from around the early to mid-Ming Dynasty, so it is quite old."

After a pause, Zhao Zheng gave an estimate: "I estimate that the value should be between 350,000 and 450,000, provided of course that a channel can be found to sell it."

Between 350,000 and 45,000.

When Chen Jing heard this estimate, his face showed excitement.

This value is not low. You must know that the value of the Qiyang stone inkstone before was actually about this amount. It was just a coincidence that many people bid for it to reach the value of one million.
