Yangzhou. (.) Summer has arrived, and the warm breeze by the riverside blows the willows, floating and floating.

I rested on the stone benches on both sides of the river bank, stretched my waist towards the sunshine, and let out my breath and felt very refreshed.

I don’t know if it’s my illusion. Every time I go out of Beijing, I feel that the air and environment in other places are much better than that in the capital. Tianyang is more beautiful than in the capital, the sky is more beautiful than in the capital, and the river is clearer than in the capital. Alas, if it weren’t for the circumference of my life in Beijing, I would have wanted to buy a house with Yangzhou to take root in this area. “It’s so beautiful.” Zou Yue’e, who was sitting beside me, squinted her eyes and looked at the river bank. I reached out to hug her, “No matter how beautiful the scenery is, I can’t compare with you. Aunt Zou, you are so beautiful today.

Zou Yue'e crossed her legs and smiled: "You, your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. Auntie is so beautiful, she is almost a big belly. Huh, go back, Wanru and the others are still waiting for us with the hotel. Today is to bet on jade. This is the main thing, don't delay." She wore a cool silk black suspender skirt, with black high heels, dressed like a little fairy, but more than a month later, her belly is slightly bulging, and she has a charming curve on the silky black satin, which is very cute. I helped her walk to the hotel west. In a large suite on the eighth floor, Yan Wanru, Jiang Yan, Yuan Yazhen, Xi Mansha, Fei4_hong were still having breakfast.

Seeing us entering the room, Yan Wanru swallowed the bread she had in her mouth and looked over, "I'm wearing so little, don't catch a cold."

Zou Yue'e sang and smiled, "It's okay, it's warm outside, well, how are you doing--did you sleep well yesterday?"

Yan Wanru pulled a napkin and wiped the corner of her mouth, saying, "It's okay. On the way to Yangzhou yesterday, I was driving with Sister Yuan. It's not very tired. But Xiao Jing, who drove alone for so long, was he exhausted? Didn't Yanyan say that she would follow you and not take a break?"

I wiped my sweat, "I still want to die if she's driving skills."

Jiang Yan immediately shouted: "Damn it! You can say it again in the mirror! Who is not good at driving skills?"

Xi Mansha whispered to her forehead, "You are the yelling and you can't drive even if you have good driving skills." Jiang Yan shouted: "I am the youngest here, so you all bully me!"

Fei Xiaohong shook the $! Qing bracelet on her wrist, and hehe Hao said, "Yanyan, don't pay attention to them. When you return to Beijing, you can drive Sister Hong's car away to practice." "Hehe, Sister Hong is still a buddy, thank you!" Everyone jokingly for a while, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

This atmosphere has existed since more than a month ago. When Aunt Zou was fine, she would call Sister Yan, text messages with Sister Yuan, and go shopping with Teacher Xi. In short, they seemed to have become good friends overnight. I don’t know what they thought in my heart, but at least they maintained a good relationship on the surface. I seriously doubted what Aunt Zou and the others said on their backs, otherwise the current picture would not have appeared. After breakfast.

Yan Wanru picked up her cell phone and made a phone call. The people who came with us to bet on jade and two friends of Sister Yan. Sister Yan told them to come to the suite here and discuss the daytime itinerary. While waiting, Jiang Yan once again blinked her curious big eyes and sat opposite Zou Yue'e, holding her chin, looking at her bulging belly with her eyes flashing, as if she was about to see through it. Zou Yue'e looked up with a funny look and said, "Yanyan, what's wrong?" Jiang Yan uttered, "It's nothing, I think it's quite fun." Aunt Zou curled her mouth, held her belly with one hand, and waved her with the other hand, "Come and touch it?"

"Ah, is that OK?" Jiang Yan looked excited. After seeing Zan Yue'e nodding slowly, she squatted over with laughter, rubbed her hands, and carefully pressed her hands on Aunt Zou's belly. When she closed her eyes, she seemed to be feeling something. "Huh, why didn't he kick me?" Zou Yue'e smiled: "People outside can't feel it, but sometimes I can feel the little guy moving.

Xi Mansha also came over at some point, "Yue'e, can I touch it?"

Fei Xiaohong said in a mess: "I'll touch it too!"

Aunt Zou laughed in silence: "Why am I a giant panda? Okay, okay, come and touch it." Even Yuan Yazhen, who was watching the stock market with the computer over there, closed the real-time market. A group of people surrounded Zou Yue'e and touched it one by one. After a while, Zou Yue'e pulled away all the hands on her stomach and laughed: "Okay, okay, it's too itchy, don't touch it anymore. If you touch it again, I will charge a fee of 100,000 yuan at a time." Dongdong, someone knocked on the door outside. The few people stopped making trouble and opened the door, allowing the two men to enter the room.

Both of them looked around thirty years old. Although they were not very old, they had strength. One of them was a member of the Beijing Antique Collection Association. Although they were not a cultural relic identification expert, they were not much different. They specialized in the identification of jade. I heard that his assets worth tens of millions were all obtained by gambling on jade. The other was Xu Sen, and his family was in the jade business. Well, to be precise, they should be in the nephrite business, not including jade. His eyesight was also trained with his father in the gambling market. Yan Wanru said, both of them were very powerful.

Everyone nodded and greeted each other. Yan Wanru asked someone to sit down, "Everyone is here, let's discuss the itinerary?" Jiang Yanxian said, "Tianning Temple Antique Market is the most famous. Let's go to Tianning Temple first?"

Xu Sen smiled bitterly and said, "That's because of the battle. The market in Tianning Temple moved a few years ago. I heard that it had broken up and moved to a flower, bird, fish and insect market. Although it has been rectified now, its popularity is not very good. It has been deserted since its opening. It's just Saturday and Sunday. I guess there is nothing good about Yuketao wherever I went." I said, "That's not necessarily the case. Just stones are good, and it's up to the level of popularity."

Gao Yang said on the side: "It's all related. It's popular and the supply is sufficient. The new seed material flows more. Otherwise, the remaining materials that others have accumulated over the years will be difficult to produce good jade. Well, since I'm here in Yangzhou, I suggest going to Hongyuan Market or Wenchang Parkway, which is still good." Xu Sen lit a cigarette and said, "Then go to Hongyuan first." Yan Wanru looked at the cigarette he lit and said, "Hehe, there are pregnant women here."

Xu Sen ohed, quickly put out the cigarette butts, and smiled apologetically at Zou Yue'e: "I'm sorry, I'm so easy to draw."

"It's okay." Zou Yue'e smiled and looked at Yan Wanru, "Where do you think you're going?"

Yan Wanru thought for a while and pondered: "I came to Yangzhou the first year and bet on a mountain and flowing science with Hongyuan. It's pretty good. Otherwise, we don't rush back. We'll go to Hongyuan first. Anyway, we don't have to go back. Let's go to a few more places. If it really doesn't work, you'll always get something. Yuan Yazhen looked at me with a stern face: "Do you want Quantianning Temple?" I said, "Wenchang Baihui is fine."

Yan Wanru smiled helplessly, "Okay, this is not yet released, everyone's opinions are not unified. I think this is not the case. Anyway, if we are piled together in a stall, we can't bet one piece and buy one piece, then it's better to split it into two groups and act separately. Well, here Xu Sen and Gao Yang are experts in gambling jade here. Let them lead a team to help everyone choose stones?" I understand that Sister Yan brought Sister Hong and Mansha to Yangzhou together this time, not just for her to make money by herself. Sister Yan wanted to help her friends, and wanted to bring her friends with her money. Gao Yang waved his hand in Yuanyin, "Teacher Yan, are you so sad, are you?"

Xu Sen also said: "Yes, although we are one or two years older than you, we are not of the same level when it comes to antiques and stones. Wanru, don't be humble. Don't you know, don't you know? When you were in high school, you just rely on gambling jade homes. You brought more than 500,000 yuan to Xinjiang, but you brought more than 10 million yuan? And you didn't miss it much, and almost all of them were swelling." Yan Wanru shook her head: "It's not that exaggerated, that time is just a good luck."

Xu Sen laughed: "Anyway, I'm here to lend you this time, so let Lao Gao lead a team. I'll follow Wanru, she has to help me choose a few stones." Gao Yang said depressedly: "I'm the same plan." Yan Wanru touched her brain for difficulty) looked at me = "Then ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■�

I put the check book and the things I wanted to bring into my bag and stood up. "Who is following me all the way?" As soon as I finished speaking, Yuan Yazhen stood up and walked to me without thinking. It was obvious that Sister Yuan believed me more than Yan Wanru and Xu Sen. I was so moved that I thought it was better for Sister Yuan. "If you obviously want to join Yan Wanru and Xu Sen, with their experience and eyesight in the gambling industry, it may not be easy to make a big success, but it is really difficult to compensate Ruthenium, unless you are not lucky enough. But Yuan Yazhen chose me, how trust is this? Then, the few people sitting there didn't speak.

When I saw that Zou Yue'e didn't move, I was so angry that she seemed to be "...just us?"

Seeing that my face was not good, Zou Yue'e smiled and explained, "Jing, it's not that I don't believe in your eyesight. The money of our couple is as good as the same passbook. It doesn't make sense for me to go with you. It's better to follow Wanru and ask her to give us some good materials. Haha, this is called maximizing the benefits." Damn, to put it nicely, aren't you still more optimistic about Yan Wanru's eyesight? I glared at her and turned my eyes to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan uh, Wanlu said, "What do you think of me? Cough, mirror, I heard that this is your first time gambling on jade?" Isn't that true? I have bet on blood stone and jade, but I have never bet on Hetian jade.

Fei Xiaohong even said, "Wanru, you have to choose the best one for me later. I brought two million this time, but it's all up to you." I wanted to kick her to death, exhaled and looked at Xi Mansha fiercely.

Teacher Xi was frightened by my fierce eyes, and his neck shrank, gritted his teeth, and walked over unwillingly. I uttered with satisfaction, "Those are three, let's go out now?"

Yan Wanru looked at us, "Jing, gambling on jade and gambling on stones is not the same thing. You are alone... well... Otherwise, I will be with you today and then with you tomorrow..."

I interrupted, "It's okay, I'll do it alone." After a pause, I couldn't help but roll my eyes when everyone looked at me with a suspicion. "Don't look at me like this? I don't know who got back a lot of good materials. By the way, why don't we compare and sell the stones we bet on the spot. Take them all back to the hotel to see which of the two groups of our people is more valuable? Whoever loses or treats them to dinner? How about it?" Jiang Yanxu thought I was angry, "Damn, I'd better be with you." "No need." I hummed, "Just settle it like that, let's go out.

The strength of our two teams is obvious. Yan Wanru is an expert from the national generation. He entered the Palace Museum. Xu Sen and Gao Yang are experts in playing jade. They live on this day. Well, not to mention them, even Jiang Yan, Zou Yue'e, and Fei Xiaohong have more or less knowledge of Hetian jade. Looking at me, I have never hired jade at all, half an amateur, and whether Xi Mansha or Yuan Yazhen, they are pure laymen. Even the laymen are not very clear about what Hetian jade is. Don't mention this gap in strength. But who said that laymen can't bet on good jade? When I went to Lin'an to bet on bloodstone, I was a few hundred times more amateur than now. Tianning Temple Antique Market. As soon as I entered, I was afraid that people who didn't know would have entered the casino.

The shop owners and stall owners gathered together, chatting while playing cards, shouting endlessly. "**Ten flush!" "Haha, I won, I won!

Today is not a weekend. The market is a bit deserted. A few people are wandering in front of the stalls, picking up what they like. Looking at it, copper ink, bamboo carved pen holder, Hui ink, blood stone, cloisonné toothpick box, jade bracelet, agate Buddha hand, fine copper abacus, silver padlock, white jade buckle pencil, porcelain bottles and pottery jars of various shapes, it is simply all-inclusive and has everything. "Why don't there be any raw stones in jade?" Yuan Yazhen frowned and looked around. I closed my eyes and recalled the scene I saw in the mouth of my previous life, pointing to the east "the other side."

After turning two turns, I came to a new area. I saw large pieces of Hetian jade raw stone. Some materials were piled on the ground casually, either crooked or down, like selling cabbage. "Some small materials were neatly placed on the cloth list, and the skin was wiped very clean. This place was a little more popular than the one at the entrance. Squeak, and the noise from the cutting machine was also coming.

This picture made me feel familiar. I didn't rush to find materials, but took Yuan Yazhen and Xi Mansha to walk around this large shop stall area first. While familiarizing myself with the environment, I took out the book I had prepared for more than ten days, and painted it below the colorful Hetian jade paintings. When I came here, I reminded me of many, such as a few store names that I had forgotten or remembered incorrectly, and now I have added them. After writing, I exhaled and put away the pen.

Yuan Yazhen suddenly took my hand naturally, looked at a stall with a tight face, "Why is it so big that all jade materials are thrown on the ground? It seems to be very worthless?"

I blinked at her hand, coughed, and approached her, "Hetian jade and j! Cui are the same, the bigger the more you are, the more you deserve. However, the jade you look at is Hetian jade mountain material. It is big and has traces of manual cutting or explosive explosion. Although it is of good value, it cannot be compared with the Hetian jade seed family, and even the materials of the mountain flowing water are not as good as those of the mountain. Yuan Yazhen held my hand tightly and asked, "Seed family?"

I nodded and pointed to a street stall diagonally opposite and said, "I saw that one of them, like a small stone, is seed material, with no edges or corners, and has different colors on it. Although the mass is not as big as the mountain material, it is much higher than that of mountain material. This time we are gambling with jade. "The one who bets on this kind of seed family, haha, this stone-sized seed family, if the skin is better, people dare to ask you for hundreds of thousands. If it is bigger and more than ten centimeters, they dare to ask you for millions, which is ridiculously expensive.

Yuan Yazhen muttered lightly.

I sweated and felt a little bit like playing the piano.

Xi Mansha behind her half-heartedly lowered her head absent-mindedly, with a little dejected look on her face.

I said, "Teacher Xi, what's wrong?"

"Ah?" Xi Mansha came to her senses and looked at my hand that was entangled with Sister Yuan, and her face turned hot. "What did you say?"

I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated: "Do you feel like you're so disappointed?"

"No, really not." Ximansha waved her hand quickly.

I said, "How many prophecies have the netizens brought this time?"

Yuan Yazhen said: "I brought 100,000 yuan, and the remaining money for buying a house is left.

Xi Mansha hesitated for a moment and said embarrassedly: "Yanyan has brought a lot. My brother-in-law heard that we were going to bet with Wanru with jade, so she gave Yanyan one million. Teacher... Well... the teacher didn't bring much, three or four thousand, it was the work pay this month. I, I also said that Wanru would help me choose a stone. If I earn money, I would return the money for the hospitalization surgery to you. Yes, but..." She didn't say the following words.

I rubbed my temples and said, "Don't worry, since you two have followed me and trust me so much, I can't let you suffer any losses, right? Okay, the material selection matter is included on me, so you will be millionaires after you go back." Xi Mansha hesitated and said, "Okay... forget it, the teacher won't buy it today. I almost vomited blood: "Why? Let Sister Yan buy it for you tomorrow? Teacher Xi looked at me carefully, without saying a word.

When a person was alive, I immediately glared and said, "You have to buy it today, and you have to buy it if you don't. Let's go and choose the materials with me!" After saying that, I remembered something and stopped and looked at Xi Mansha. Seeing that she was looking at me, I glanced at Sister Yuan holding my hand with the corner of my eyes, and then blinked at Teacher Xi. Xi Mansha's face was so hot that she turned her head away, pretending not to understand. I just dared to scare Teacher Xi, and immediately showed a fierce look of wanting to eat people.

Ximansha trembled and looked at us pitifully. She hesitated and stretched out her hand, biting her lip, and holding my other hand. She was supported by two beauties, one left and one right, and I felt satisfied, so don't say anything more

Several businessmen around us kept looking at us with surprise, whispering something, as if they were wondering about our relationship. "!)
