"Old man, to be honest, you are a piece of shabby thing, at most 200 yuan, you can't get more, that is, I have a nostalgic heart, otherwise I wouldn't even look at it if I threw it on the ground." Wu Wei at this moment
But he didn't notice that his friend, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was standing not far away and looking at him, but focused all his attention on the old man in front of him.
The old man was dressed in rags and his face was solemn. He was holding a pipa tightly in his arms, as if he had been snatched away. The joints of his fingers at both ends of the pipa were faintly white.
The pipa was covered in oil and there were a lot of ashes hidden in the gaps, which looked very old.
Faced with Wu Wei's urging, the old man lowered his head deeply, his expression on his face seemed extremely entangled, as if he wanted to agree, but he was reluctant to sell the pipa in his hand.
"Old man, since you think my price is not suitable, then tell me how much does it cost?" Seeing that the old man was silent, Wu Wei was suddenly a little anxious.
The old man lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I...I want 30,000."
"Thirty thousand, why don't you rob it? You just want 30,000 yuan, do you think I'm doing charity?" Wu Wei shouted loudly when he heard the old man's words.
But although he said this, his expression could not hide his excitement.
He had just observed roughly that the old man's pipa looked worn, but it was definitely not an ordinary object. Based on his years of collection experience, it can be basically concluded that buying it for 30,000 yuan will definitely make a big profit.
However, on the surface, he did not show it. He had been immersed in the collection industry for many years. He knew it too well. If he was too excited at this moment, the other party would definitely feel that he had lost. Temporary price increase is a trivial matter, and he might not sell it directly.
.
Immediately, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and still had a stern face, snorting coldly: "Old man, you are so unkind. Relying on my fancy to this thing, I will ask for a price everywhere, right?"
"No...no, I'm really short of money, I..." Faced with Wu Wei's accusations, the old man's face turned blue and red, and his expression seemed extremely guilty.
After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and said, "I have no choice. My grandson's illness is urgently needed 30,000 yuan, so..."
"I can understand that your grandson needs money to treat his illness, but you can't take the opportunity to cheat me, right?" Wu Wei snorted angrily.
Then, he put his hands on his waist and said reluctantly: "Forget it, you are a poor person, so I will give you 30,000 yuan, but there is a saying I want to make it clear, of which 200 yuan is
I donate the money from buying your pipa to you.”
"Really?" Hearing Wu Wei's words, the old man's face changed slightly, and he thought he had heard it wrong.
After confirming that it was indeed true, tears suddenly filled my eyes, which means that it was inconvenient to hold the pipa, otherwise I would have to kowtow to Wu Wei and thank him.
"Okay, I'm most shameful to thank me. Hurry up and take the money to treat your grandson." Wu Wei waved his hand and signaled that the old man would not be excited. Then he quickly took out a stack of banknotes from his bag and handed them to the old man.
The old man was obviously still a little unbelievable. He hesitated for a moment before carefully reaching out his hand.
"Wait a minute." Just as the old man was about to take the 30,000 yuan handed over by Wu Wei, an inappropriate voice suddenly came from behind him.
Upon hearing this, Wu Wei frowned. Seeing that the baby was about to get it, he would not allow anyone to intervene.
Immediately, he quickly turned around and was about to lose his temper. But he saw the person clearly, his frown brows immediately stretched out.
He was stunned at first, then quickly walked forward and smiled, "Mr. Su, why is it you? Why are you in Shuzhou?"
"Come and have fun with a few friends, but I didn't expect to meet you." Cyprus smiled slightly.
As he said, he glanced at the old man holding the pipa and asked lightly: "Mr. Wu, what are you doing?"
"No... nothing." Wu Wei coughed dryly, then hurriedly pulled the cycai aside and whispered: "Mr. Su, wait for me for two minutes. When the matter is finished, I will invite you to drink, brother."
After saying that, he hurriedly looked at the old man and said anxiously: "Old man, we just happened to meet a friend, so let's get the deal quickly. You should also use the money to treat your grandson."
"Then... well." The old man nodded and responded, immediately took the 30,000 yuan, and handed the pipa in his hand to Wu Wei.
Wu Wei quickly took the pipa, and looked at it carefully as if he had found a treasure. He was excited and then hurriedly looked at the old man and said with a stern face: "Old man, I will pay the money with one hand and the other hand. Now the money is
Don’t regret it in the two clears.”
"Of course, of course." The old man nodded repeatedly.
Immediately, the two of them chatted for a while, and the old man hurriedly took the money and hurriedly walked towards the overpass stairs.
Seeing the old man's figure completely disappearing from his sight, Wu Wei hurriedly turned around and looked at Su Tie and said excitedly: "Mr. Su, how about it? It's 30,000 yuan. Is it a bit envious of my luck when I found such a treasure?
”
"Zhenbao, you are right." Cyar chuckled and shook his head.
Looking at Su Tie's disapproving expression, Wu Wei was dissatisfied and hurriedly picked up the pipa and introduced: "Mr. Su, do you know what this is? This is called the five-string pipa, which is the most popular in the Tang Dynasty.
One of the musical instruments, Bai Juyi wrote a poem: "The fifth string sound is the most constrained, and the long water is frozen and cannot flow. The five strings are played together and you will listen to it, and it is sad and firm," which is about the five strings of pipa."
"So what?" Su Tie smiled faintly.
"Due to years of war in the late Tang Dynasty, the production skills of the Wuxian Pipa gradually disappeared. Until the Song Dynasty, the Wuxian Pipa completely disappeared in the Central Plains. Now the existing ones are all imitations, and the one in my hand is Zhen of the Tang Dynasty.
The products made during the first year are rare orphans." Wu Wei said proudly.
As he said, he pointed to the patterns made of snail shells on the surface of the pipa and continued: "See, this is called mother-of-pearl, which is a unique art in our country, and the Tang Dynasty was its most mature period.
Looking at this craftsmanship, this technique can be said to be amazing."
Su Tie still smiled but said nothing, as if he disagreed with Wu Wei's words.
Seeing this, Wu Wei was a little anxious and said loudly: "Mr. Su, you are not feeling balanced when you see me picking up a bargain with me, right?"
"Mr. Wu, it's not that I feel unbalanced, but that I am still complacent when I see you as a sucker." Su Tie shook his head and smiled.
"Super, what does it mean?" Wu Wei's face changed slightly, and he frowned: "Mr. Su, look at your tone, can I be a Xibei product?"
"What about that?" Cyprus chuckled.
"Mr. Su, you have to make it clear. Brother, I have been playing antiques for a while. Why can't I see that there is something wrong with this thing?" Wu Wei said very dissatisfied.
He snorted while saying, "I don't think so. If you can convince me, I will treat you to a meal. If you can't tell me, then you will treat me to a meal. Do you dare
