Chapter 259 Chapter 559

"These are all bought by me in my early years. How about putting them like this, doesn't it feel good?" Just when Jia Sidao's mind was a little erratic, Ma Ye's voice appeared lightly In Jia Sidao's ears, there was like a fresh breath, which brought Jia Sidao back to his senses in an instant!Immediately praised: "It is indeed fascinating." Immediately, as if aware of his own words and deeds, Jia Sidao slightly bowed and said, "Master Ma, hello, I couldn't help myself just now." "Hehe, it's okay, young people, you should be more casual, treat it as if you came to your own home, and that's it." Ma Ye said cheerfully. "Don't be too restrained, old man, I'm not so bad as a person, right?"

"Master Ma, you are joking." Jia Sidao said politely, but he was slightly relieved. "Master Ma, you don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk. If it weren't for this, I've already been to your house several times. I might be like Xiao Jia, and I'll be taken aback by your decorations." I was taken aback." Uncle Zhou interjected from the side, and said, "Even so, every time I come here, I still have a feeling that I don't want to leave." "Hehehe, Brother Zhou, you must be joking." Ma Ye's daughter-in-law next to him said with a smile when she heard the words, "My old man, he was still muttering just now, he is too leisurely alone. How about , you just stay here for a few days, just in time to play a few games with the old man, so that he will not be alone, looking at his treasures leisurely, and don't even care about eating."

"My chess skills, how can I compare with the old man? Well, I think, I'd better forget about it. I'll practice outside tomorrow." Uncle Zhou blushed, and immediately turned his head away. At this moment, Jia Sidao's mind was completely relaxed. "Let's go, you two go to my study." Xu Shi is just like what Ma Ye's daughter-in-law said, Ma Ye is relaxing and a little panicked, no, Jia Sidao and Zhou Fugui just entered the door Come, Master Ma invited the two of them into the study together.This undoubtedly made Jia Sidao feel a little happy! Uncle Zhou hurriedly gave Jia Sidao a look.Immediately, Jia Sidao handed the gift in his hand to Mr. Ma's daughter-in-law. The other party glanced at Mr. Ma, as if he had some scruples. When Mr. Ma looked at Uncle Zhou, Only then did Uncle Zhou smile and said: "We juniors came to visit you, just a little bit of love, nothing special, just some of your favorite food, if you don't believe me, you can ask Ah Mei to open it and have a look."

"You boy, you're so big and yet so cunning!" Hearing Uncle Zhou's words, Master Ma couldn't help saying angrily.After that, he shook his head silently, sighed, and walked into the study.On the contrary, Ah Mei, the daughter-in-law of Master Ma, accepted what was in Jia Sidao's hand without any hassle. Seeing this scene, Jia Sidao pondered carefully, but couldn't figure out why.I'm afraid, Uncle Zhou played a bigger role between the two, right? Uncle Zhou tugged on Jia Sidao's sleeve and gave him another wink, which should mean that he did a good job.Jia Sidao cheered up, and immediately followed the two into the study together.

Compared with the simple and elegant feeling in the living room, the furnishings in the study are more simple.However, no matter how ignorant Jia Sidao is, he can still feel that the things in the study have more background, small, chic, and fragrant ink, which may be the theme of this study. In the middle is a huge red sandalwood desk. Jia Sidao can't tell what age it is.Instead, there are four wooden chairs with huanghuali backs lying on the side. Jia Sidao has seen a similar style before, which belongs to the typical craft style of the late Ming Dynasty!There is a Junxiu! On the red sandalwood desk, the first thing Jia Sidao noticed was a paperweight carved from hard stone!The shape is very realistic, with claws and teeth, and it feels quite mighty when viewed from a distance.Especially from the traces on the surface, it should have been used for a long time, revealing a sense of simplicity and vicissitudes.After a few more careful glances, Jia Sidao realized that it should be a carving similar to Qingtian stone, and it can be determined that it is an old thing.

In addition, there are some utensils in the study on the desk, such as inkstone, Langhao pen, rice paper, etc.! There are a lot of things, but they are all things that I am used to using.It's like there is still a little black ink on the inkstone, which is not completely dry.Come to think of it, at Ma Ye's age, occasionally splashing ink can be regarded as a kind of interest and elegance.Moreover, people of Ma Ye's age will be more or less in love with Chinese calligraphy and painting! In Jia Sidao's mind, Uncle Zhou's impression of Master Ma could not help appearing. As rumored by the peddlers in Antique Street, Master Ma has a wide range of interests, and he has a lot of experience in almost any type of antiques.

In particular, it is naturally the preference for the Four Treasures of the Study. This can be regarded as the fact that Uncle Zhou and Master Ma are relatively familiar, so they can be sure. It's like when Ma Ye went to "Zhou Ji" last time, he fell in love with an inkstone.At that time, Uncle Zhou also closed "Zhou Ji" on purpose, and "drived" Ah San and Jia Sidao out. When talking about these things now, Uncle Zhou looked at Jia Sidao The eyes are obviously full of regret. And listening to Jia Sidao's ears, it is also doubly kind! At this moment, Jia Sidao has already noticed that in Ma Ye's study, on a row of bookshelves against the wall, there are various books neatly placed, among which, although most of them are ancient treasures bound with yellowing handwriting.However, it did not hinder Ma Ye's liking for inkstones in the slightest.On the bookshelf against the wall, there are places specially set aside for displaying a lot of inkstones in various styles.

And Jia Sidao thought in his heart, since there are so many of them, no less than a dozen square meters, if you really want to find out how many inkstones there are in Master Ma's house, you can imagine.What is certain is that the dozen or so square inkstones displayed here will definitely not be all that Ma Ye has collected. As for some other small things, like some nephrite pendants, there is a small wooden coffee table at the end near the door, and a set of clean and elegant tea sets are placed on the coffee table, which instantly makes the whole study room , a little more leisurely interest.Not to mention the calligraphy and paintings that are already framed and hanging on the walls.

Looking at the vigorous handwriting and signature, Jia Sidao also carefully noticed that it was all written by Master Ma himself!It can be seen that Master Ma is also an elegant person, full of confidence in his own handwriting!Otherwise, how could it be that there are still a few famous masterpieces hanging in the living room, and now in the study, there are hanging my own works. Jia Sidao's own writing power is obviously not enough.As for other people's calligraphy and painting, it is also completely incomprehensible, and it is not easy to comment on it here.I can only listen to Uncle Zhou, admiring the calligraphy and painting while admiring and talking eloquently.After listening more and watching more, I can understand a little bit, the true taste of calligraphy and painting!

"Hehe, Xiao Zhou, don't flatter my old man here, your ears are red. Come on, come on, sit down and talk." The expression on Ma Ye's face was relatively cheerful, and he said As he spoke, he pointed to the four chairs placed there. After seeing Uncle Zhou take his seat, Jia Sidao followed him and sat down.Fortunately, Jia Sidao is taller, and his body shape is more suitable. Sitting like this, he feels that the huanghuali wooden chair fits his body exceptionally well, as if it was tailor-made.In the bottom of my heart, I am thinking about it, will I get some similar chairs in the future?

Of course, such a chair cannot be carved with emerald material.No matter how rich Jia Sidao is, he has no way to find such a large piece of jade material to make a suitable jade chair.If it is an ordinary jadeite material, it's fine. If there is really a top-quality material, Jia Sidao really put his ideas into practice.If it is carved, it can only be said to be a waste of money. You know, even the current Huanghuali chairs are not low in value. Mr. Ma actually placed them directly to meet guests, in Jia Sidao's heart, it was already considered very grand.It can be considered that it took a little thought, so that although Jia Sidao felt comfortable sitting, he didn't dare to take any drastic actions.For a moment, while my mind was full of thoughts, my body didn't move a bit.Looking at Uncle Zhou's proud eyes again, he gently stroked the armrest of the chair with both hands, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Presumably, it should be in Ma Ye's study room, and he rarely receives guests on weekdays. right. If not, Uncle Zhou wouldn't have to behave like this. At that moment, Jia Sidao explained the purpose of his visit.You know, Uncle Zhou said it before he came here.Ma Ye is a cheerful person, if there is anything to say, it is more appropriate to say it straight to the point. Of course, the occasion, time, etc. of the speech are quite particular.From the moment he entered the door until now, Uncle Zhou has been trying to reconcile and test Master Ma's mood today.Only then did Uncle Zhou's series of rather familiar performances just now come about.Later, after sitting on the wooden chair of Huanghuali, Uncle Zhou specially gave Jia Sidao a sign of "the time has come", and Jia Sidao naturally wanted to seize the opportunity. And what Jia Sidao said is actually very simple. First of all, I just want to thank Mr. Ma for his support. After all, what happened in Antique Street still gave Mr. Ma a good impression.Secondly, he also explained that he was planning to open a jadeite shop on the Antique Street, and the storefront had already been sold. As for the location, Master Ma could guess the location without Jia Sidao's explanation.In the end, it was natural to ask Master Ma to take care of him. And when Jia Sidao first started talking, Master Ma still nodded his head while listening in approval.When he heard that Jia Sidao was going to open a shop in Antique Street, the expression on his face froze slightly!Immediately, it stretched out indifferently. Jia Sidao muttered to himself, but fortunately, he just opened a jade store, so he can't be regarded as a novice. According to Uncle Zhou, everyone who wants to open a shop in Antique Street must not only obtain the approval of at least two experts of the older generation, but also need to show their own strength, not in terms of money, but in terms of money. Refers to an aspect of antiques.Have a certain vision, or contribute something like that.No matter how bad it is, the owner of the antique shop must be a well-known insider. Before Uncle Zhou's "Zhou Ji" opened, Uncle Zhou experienced a lot of twists and turns. Of course, even if Jia Sidao didn't plan to open an antique shop and was running a jade shop, Uncle Zhou thought that the necessary approval of the older generation was still necessary.After Ma Ye heard the words, he pondered for about two or three minutes, and then asked with a smile: "Xiao Jia, opening a shop is a good thing. But, why did you think of opening the emerald shop to the antique street? " When asking, he took a special look at Zhou Fugui. Uncle Zhou immediately explained: "Master Ma, don't look at me like that, it's not my idea." Immediately, Uncle Zhou put himself aside first, and Jia Sidao, who was beside him, also nodded very cooperatively.Uncle Zhou then continued: "You know, I am still running nephrite business, and I also carry a lot of jade ornaments. If Xiao Jia's jade store opens, my business will , will definitely be affected." "You boy, this is the truth." Master Ma smiled slightly. "Well, Uncle Zhou..." Jia Sidao was about to say a few words of apology, but Uncle Zhou stretched out his hand to stop him. Jia Sidao was naturally a little surprised. Uncle Zhou said with a smile: "For me, the business of jadeite jewelry is actually just a matter of me being idle and playing casually. The main "Journal of the Week" is still relying on the profits from nephrite jade. Moreover, my own vision for jadeite is not comparable to that of you, Xiao Jia." "Oh, little Zhouzi, I haven't seen you for a while. You actually have times when you are convincing. I want to treat you differently." Ma Ye first looked at Zhou Fugui in surprise, and then he looked at Jia carefully. Sidao came, seeming to be thinking about what kind of excellence Jia Sidao has in Jade and his party! And that sentence "Look at him with admiration" is probably more aimed at Jia Sidao, right? Ma Ye talked for his own sake, but Jia Sidao couldn't explain himself, and said how about his ability.Zhou Fugui, on the other hand, talked about Jia Sidao's deeds, such as how Jia Sidao started as a novice, betting on the first rough jadeite in "Zhou Ji", then went to Yunnan, and then participated in Jieyang The emerald public market, and so on. As for what kind of top-quality jade was cut out, such as millennium jade worms, spring ribbons, etc., Uncle Zhou also said the facts. , is a miracle in itself.Uncle Zhou's words made Master Ma very engrossed in listening to them! Occasionally, Master Ma would glance over when he heard Uncle Zhou's words, and take a look at Jia Sidao. Jia Sidao could only smile kindly and didn't think too deeply. It doesn't matter to Jia Sidao if he wants to take out those emerald treasures to have a look!After all, according to what Uncle Zhou said, Jia Sidao's actual legend is nothing more than a lot! At the end, Master Ma let out a long sigh of relief.He said: "What a boy, his deeds are even better than that boy Yang Qi." "Master Ma, speaking of it, Mr. Yang and I still know each other." Maybe it was for the sake of Mr. Ma's heart, so Jia Sidao talked about his relationship with Yang Qi.Of course, the conflict between two people will not be spoken out.Presumably, as Master Ma, he would not ask Yang Qi in person.Even if he asked, Yang Qi probably wouldn't say it. "Hehe, it's good to know, good to know. The more people you know, the better you can find good things, and you can open your business..." Ma Ye smiled cheerfully and said a few words. Originally, Jia Sidao thought that at this moment, Lord Ma should nod his head and approve of Jia Sidao's entry into the industry. Even if he did not approve, he should have expressed his opinion.As a result, Master Ma narrowed his eyes slightly, wandering around in his study intentionally or unintentionally, not ready to speak.And in the whole study room, the silence was a bit breathless. Just when Jia Sidao was very puzzled and wanted to ask Uncle Zhou, Ma Ye suddenly opened his mouth and asked with a different meaning: "Xiao Jia, you should also be involved in antiques." "Yes." Jia Sidao replied, "However, I have only been in the industry for a short time, and what I have learned so far is only superficial, only about ancient Chinese culture, such as porcelain and stationery utensils. And so on, I still yearn for it." The so-called porcelain has always been Jia Sidao's interest, and the stationery, of course, is in accordance with the time and place, echoing Ma Ye's hobbies and hobbies. Sure enough, just as Jia Sidao finished his answer, Master Ma praised him: "Good! It's rare." Afterwards, Master Ma sighed with emotion, and said: "Today's young people, there are not many people who can pay attention to the things handed down by their ancestors. Let's just talk about the Four Treasures of the Study, although most people know what they are. , but there are very few who can really tell a little bit about it.” After finishing speaking, Ma Ye sighed for a while.In this regard, Jia Sidao and Uncle Zhou looked at each other, and clearly saw a trace of smile on their respective faces. However, it seemed that in such an instant, Ma Ye's eyes were slightly dilated, and he smiled at Jia Sidao and Uncle Zhou who were secretly delighted, and then disappeared in a flash!But it was not something that Jia Sidao and Zhou Fugui could notice.
