Chapter 3 Let the arrow fly for a while

()

When Muye heard Su Qin say that this broken stone was a "Golden Toad of Wealth and Glory", he murmured in his heart, saying that this stone is not related to Wealth and Glory. Third Prince, aren't you talking lies with your eyes open? But Muye didn't dare to show any emotional fluctuations. He was afraid that he couldn't help laughing and coldly, so he opened his body and took two steps back.

Gu Luoshu, who was standing beside him, looked at the stone with curious expressions and expectation, thinking that these stones really have a great origin. Apart from the strange shape, Gu Luoshu really can't see where it is strange. If what Su Qin said is true... this young man would definitely not lie. Gu Luoshu looked at Su Qin, and even though he didn't know why he trusted Su Qin a little more in his heart.

"A scene, a poem, a stone, a stone." After hearing Su Qin's words, the old man standing in front of the stone nodded with a smile and said, raised his left hand and gently stroked the goat whiskers that were not long on his chin, and then said to Su Qin that you, boy, let me tell me.

"What this old man said is that all things in the world are only good, just like the old saying in our mountains, that there is no stone in the mountains, and that there is no stone in the water, and no stone in the water. In fact, it is not only that. Some strange stones can not only have a clear mind and pleasant effect, but also have the effect of enchanting love and increasing life. This stone that looks a bit weird and very strange is not that simple. If I guessed correctly, its original stone should be quartzite, because the "Yan Zhuan" records that in ancient times, when the Ardes Mountains appeared, there were several volcanoes here, and this stone probably

After being infected and infiltrated by volcanic magma, it was broken into rivers after a long weathering, and then grinded by water to form dark brown and dark red, so that it now presents dark red on top and dark underneath. Look at this place..." Su Qin said and pointed to a concave point on the side of the stone. "The texture of the stone in this place is clear and varied. The inside should be more beautiful than the outside, and the scenery is picturesque. This is mainly because the stone of this kind is particularly delicate and clean, the background is often far-reaching and hazy, and the main and secondary echo levels are extremely rich."

Speaking of this, Su Qin paused for a moment, and looked a little embarrassed, "I said so much, it actually has nothing to do with it being called the rich and noble golden toad. It just gave a corresponding title for this extraordinary strange stone, just like these..."

Su Qin said, looking at other stones a few times, then raised his right hand and pointed it over the stones, "I plan to call this stone 'travel', this is a 'rooster', and this 'full flower and full moon', as for this turtle-patterned stone, let's call it 'bamboo plum' for the time being. Look at its color, half like a bamboo and half like wintersweet, which is really the best among strange stones."

After Su Qin finished speaking, he looked at the old man and found that the old man was a little confused when he stared at the rich and noble toad on the ground. Muye could no longer describe it as stunned. He heard Su Qin bring out the stones of the rich and noble toad one by one before, Muye was secretly surprised. He followed Su Qin since he was a child, so why didn’t he know that Su Qin knew this?

Gu Luoshu looked at Su Qin with envy. In his opinion, Su Qin who was told just now was undoubtedly full of spirit and confidence, giving people a sense of guidance.

"Young Master, how do you know this?" Muye felt much more comfortable when asked this question, but with his understanding of Su Qin for so many years, he probably had no answer. Just like whenever he asked Su Qin how to control a beast, Su Qin always smiled and said to understand with his heart, and to understand with his heart? Isn't this equivalent to not saying it?

"How many times have I told you, read more books." Su Qin said, his eyes rolling. At this time, he was too lazy to pay attention to Muye. Before, he had a headache and no one was concerned about the stones in front of him. Now he finally met someone who seemed to be aware of the goods. Naturally, he could not miss it. "When this gentleman saw that you were an expert, and there was no stone in the garden, and there was no stone in the room. If you like these stones, the price would be easy to negotiate."

"I am very interested in this stone, but you have to answer my question first." The old man came to his senses at this time, looked at Su Qin with a smile, and silently recited the words he had just said, "The garden is full of stones, no stones, no stones are not elegant."

Su Qin was happy and then said something that made the old man smile again, "Don't talk about one question, you can just ask ten questions without any problem."

"How do you know this? This question is probably a bit private. You don't want to say it's okay. Do you know some ways to identify strange stones?"

"You know that the prey was often caught in the mountains before. The Ades Mountain was full of rocks. In order to capture some traces of animals from the rocks, I found some ancient books from the tribe to read, and I slowly remembered them." Su Qin said this very quickly, as if to hide something, his eyes stayed on the old man's face for a few times. Seeing that the latter had no change in expression, he felt relieved in his heart. Then he continued to say that the method of appreciating strange stones was nothing but eyes, hands, ears, nose, looking at things, understanding their reason, and knowing their taste.

"I didn't expect that you knew these things at a young age. I've got all these stones, you have the final say in the price, but you have to find a way to transport them back to the city." The old man looked at Su Qin with deep meaning.

"This is fine, I just don't know where you live?" Su Qin nodded, with a hint of surprise on his face. The old man saw it and thought Su Qin was the joy brought by hearing that the price was up to him.

"Lingbifang, you should see it when you enter the city and arrive at the lord's mansion. The house with peony embroidered on the golden plaque is."

Su Qin said, don’t worry, I’ll send it to you now, and the price will be calculated at that time.

"The original stone is like a human being, you should not look good." Looking back at the busy Su Qin, the old man whispered, then looked at the starling in his hand and murmured, is the legendary realm of appreciating strange stones really just a legend?

If the old man turned around at this time, he would probably find the smile of conspiracy on Su Qin's face. However, when the old man saw the legendary "three parts of image and seven parts of mind." His heart-to-eye viewing realm was already a year later. At that time, Su Qin had won the court for the first time, and saw the rich and noble toad he had sold to the old man, which was polished into a stone, bound under the four words "respecting Taoism and noble virtue" hanging high above the throne of the emperor.

"Young Master, why do you only have such a little silver?" After leaving Lingbifang, Muye couldn't help but question. Judging from the old man's appreciation of these stones just now, Su Qin sold these stones for only fifty taels of silver, the price was too low.
