There is a saying that "jade can nourish people", so jade can also understand human nature. With Zhu Kejin's insight of immersing in antiques for decades, we can naturally see the extraordinary features of Lin Xi. Only by Lin Xi's temperament, we can conclude that Lin Xi must have played with ancient jade for many years.

Out of mental calculation, Zhu Kejin, while Lin Xi didn't notice him, came close to Lin Xi and observed carefully. As expected, he found a colorful silk rope hanging around Lin Xi's neck. At the moment when he saw the rope, Zhu Kejin was more sure of his mind. At the same time, he was more concerned about the ancient jade on Lin Xi.

As we all know, the development of rope weaving and knot art in China is almost parallel to the historical development of Peiyu, because the earliest Peiyu was realized by rope weaving in ancient times, and it has continued to this day, but now the rope weaving technology is more complex, and it is often equipped with small beads of various colors, and the color and material of the rope are also more abundant.

Therefore, when choosing jade, we should first see whether the color and material of the rope match the jade, whether the color and material of the beads match the jade, and whether the rope joint is clean and firm, especially whether the buckle is smooth and firm.

The rope around Lin Xi's neck, though not matched with other small beads, was made of multicolored threads, which were red, yellow, black, green and white. In ancient times, it was also called longevity thread.

Since ancient times, five colors have been worshipped in China, which are regarded as auspicious colors and can ward off evil spirits. For example, in the book general meaning of Customs of the Han Dynasty, it is recorded that "on May 5, five colors are given to continue life silk, which is commonly said to benefit people's lives". Even many of the Buddhist beads are made of five color threads in series, which shows the particularity of the hanging rope made of five color threads.

At that time, although Lin Xi didn't know why Zhu Kejin wanted to test himself, he knew that he couldn't say anything wrong and get a criminal. What's more, there were all kinds of objects in this antique shop, and there were thousands of them conservatively estimated. Lin Xi glanced at them and found many things He couldn't name them, and how dare he make random comments, so he had to decline them.

After a meaningful look at Lin Xi, Zhu Kejin's smile became more kind and harmless. He continued to say with a smile, "little brother, as the old saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. What a young man wants is an aggressive spirit. How can you become a warm water at such a young age? But it can't work like this"

after a pause, Zhu Kejin speculates and ponders For a moment, he continued: "otherwise, I think you are very good. How about playing a game?"

When he heard Zhu Kejin's words, Lin Xi was dumbfounded, and even felt a little puzzled. He and the fat old man just met. However, after a few words, why did he want to play games with him for no reason? It's very difficult not to make people suspicious with this sudden strange request, not to say what kind of games he wants to play The wolf pays new year's greetings to the chicken.

Thinking of this, for the sake of safety, Lin Xi had to politely refuse again: "old man, I and two friends just come here to hang out and join in the fun. Let's forget about the game... Zhiyan, priest, it's not too early. Let's go."

In Lin Xi's opinion, there can't be a free lunch in the world. Since the other party takes the initiative to show his kindness, there must be a plot. He can't figure out what medicine Zhu Kejin's gourd sells. It's better to leave as soon as possible. I can't avoid it. Anyway, there are so many antique shops on this long street that there's no need to hang in a tree.

When he saw that Linxi was going to leave, Zhu Kejin was in a hurry. He knew that he was in a hurry and scared them away. But when he thought of the ancient jade on Linxi's body, he grabbed Linxi's arm and said in a hurry, "brother, don't worry about going. Listen to my old man's words first. It's not too late to go after listening, right?"

Being caught by the arm, Lin Xi instinctively wants to fight back, but seeing that Zhu Kejin doesn't break up maliciously, he just suppresses his dissatisfaction, but still quietly pulls out his arm, and then noncommittally asks: "what else does the old man want to say?"

"Brother, it's like this. Although my antique shop is not big, there is still an old object in it. It's not too expensive. It's worth about 200000 yuan. If you can find it, even if it's given to you by my old man..."

seeing that Zhu Kejin doesn't speak any more, Lin Xi pushes his glasses and thinks about it with a smile "Old man, I don't think there should be any free lunch at the end of the day? You have already opened the window to tell the truth. Why are you hiding and saying that you can't find it? What do you want

Hearing Lin Xi's words, Zhu Kejin didn't deny it, but said with a smile: "don't burn fake incense in front of Bodhisattvas, and don't tell lies in front of real people. Since you're so happy, I'll be honest with you. To be honest, I'm interested in something on my little brother. If I can't find the old object, I hope I can give up my love How dare you play

A piece of ancient jade, and it's still a jade that can be played to raise people. It's absolutely a good thing to meet but not to ask for. I wish Kejin had a good chance to meet it today, so he won't let it go easily.However, Zhu Kejin can also see that Lin Xi's character is calm and quite sophisticated. I'm afraid it's impossible to buy it with money, but only with the method of encouragement.

In Zhu Kejin's opinion, there is no young people who don't like money. If they are indifferent to money, it must be that money is not enough to arouse his desire. Therefore, this gambling like game is thrown out. It not only has the temptation of money, but also stimulates young people's vitality. It's really to the point.

Zhu Kejin has every reason to believe that 200000 yuan is a huge sum of money for anyone, and Lin Xi has no reason not to take the bait.

As we can see, Zhu Kejin's practice is called "fishing" in the jargon of antiques business, which is taken from Jiang Taigong's allusion of fishing, the bait of the willing, and used to lure those newcomers who have just entered the business and do not understand.

When these newcomers just entered this business, they would inevitably think that as long as there are old things that open the door, most of the other things will be true. But when they buy them back home, they will know that they have bought fakes, which is the same as "drowned people are all able to drown".

In other words, if Zhu Kejin didn't say anything, the 200000 yuan old open-door object in his mouth might have been used for fishing, and now he is still fishing for Lin Xi.

When it comes to talking about his own things, Lin Xi thinks that there is nothing good about it, and the only thing that can make Zhu Kejin's eyes is the jade pendant left by the old man. Thinking of this, Lin Xi can't help but be shocked. His jade pendant has always been collected close to his body, and Zhu Kejin can see it face to face. Zhu Kejin's eyesight is really extraordinary.

However, if you ask Lin Xi to identify the heritage of old objects, he certainly does not have that level. But if you want to tell the true and false of objects, I'm afraid that today's loss business of Zhu Kejin is settled. Who can let Lin Xi have the ability of heavenly eye.

After a little meditation, Lin Xi suddenly showed a sunny smile. He looked at Zhu Kejin's eyes and said with a smile of embarrassment: "old man, this is not appropriate. You see... You see, in front of so many people, I'm so embarrassed to take your things empty handed."

When I heard Lin Xi's words, Zhu Kejin couldn't laugh or cry. Even before he could write a few words, he talked big. What I didn't know was that he didn't catch Lin Xi's fish, but Lin Xilai smashed his shop.

At the same time, Zhu Kejin's heart also began to activate. What he was most afraid of was that Lin Xi didn't pick up the conversation. Now Lin Xi picked up the conversation, and he agreed intentionally or unintentionally, which proved that he didn't read Lin Xi wrong.

In other words, in Zhu Kejin's eyes at that time, Lin Xi was already a fish. He even saw the ancient jade on Lin Xi waving to him.
