Chapter 244: Fengqiwu Guqin

Chapter 244: Fengqiwu Guqin

Across the top of the screen, the price displayed was increasing. After just a while, Su Wan saw the number had exceeded two hundred million.

The stone gambling in this auction made one’s jaw drop!

Su Wan tilted her head and looked at Jiang Xuecheng who was completely unmoved. She sighed, “Xuecheng, look, those are a group of rich lunatics.”

Jiang Xuecheng put the red wine down casually and shifted his vision onto the Imperial Green Jade in the middle of the screen.

“They aren’t crazy. This piece is the best imperial green of the glass-type jadeite. It’s so pure, there isn’t a single trace of impurity. There aren’t any cracks or wadding. It’s not surprising it could be sold at this price.”

Hearing the man’s calm tone of voice, Su Wan was taken aback. She looked at the jade in the middle of the screen. Although the bidding process had started, the staffs were still using professional equipment to shine on the piece of Imperial Green Jade.

The color of the jade was very bright and nice, dazzling and mysterious and it took many people’s breath away.

Jade could uplift a person’s body and mind. Jade lovers would wear jade closely on their bodies. This Imperial Green Jade would eventually be carved into some kind of jewellery.

Seeing Jiang Xuecheng’s calmness, Su Wan couldn’t help asking, “Xuecheng, have you ever dealt with jade before?”

A smile flashed through his handsome face. He pursed his lips.

“I only know a little. Jadeite could be categorized in an ascending order from bean jadeite, ice Jadeite, glass jadeite, dragon stone jadeite and imperial green Jade. I’ve seen a dragon stone jadeite of good quality in the past but the grade was slightly inferior when compared to imperial green jades. The bidding price for that was more than two hundred million.

Imperial green jade was also known as emerald and it was the most colorful and valuable type of jadeite. It was extremely rare and precious.

Upon hearing this, Su Wan raised her brows and tilted her head up with pride, “It looks like I can enter the stone gambling world in the future with my luck.”

When Jiang Xuecheng saw her pleased look, he couldn’t help laughing. He stretched his hand and hit Su Wan’s head.

“Every dog has its day. You were merely lucky today. If you really get into stone gambling, I’m afraid you’d lose all the money you make today in less than half a month.”

Su Wan did not doubt the truth of Jiang Xuecheng’s theory but after being ridiculed, she looked sulkily at Jiang Xuecheng.

“Do you have to mock me like this?”

Su Wan was not ready to be involved in stone gambling. Just as the saying goes, ‘The insiders look at things, methods, and essence while the outsiders watch the excitement.’ She was merely an outsider.

She leaned her head against Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulders and narrowed her eyes. No matter what, it was a right move to come to the Lu’s auction today. At least, she had had a windfall!

While Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were chatting, her imperial green jade had been sold.

Helena raised her arms high up and there was a light smile on her beautiful face. She was very influential.

“Congratulations to number 3778 for winning the bid of this rare imperial green jade at four hundred and thirty million dollars.

Su Wan saw the four hundred million transaction price on the screen. She estimated, after paying the ten percent service charge, it would be less than four hundred million dollars.

She had indirectly created huge profit for Lu Qingyu. Su Wan thought about it and felt the pinch.

Just then, a knock was heard at the door. Su Wan looked surprisingly at Jiang Xuecheng and then answered gently, “Come in.”

She spoke of the devil and the devil appeared. Standing at the door was a tall figure. The only incongruity was that he was still on crutches.

Lu Qingyu entered with a smile. His amorous eyes kept staring at Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng. The radian of his smile kept increasing.

“Young Master, Su Wan, both of you are my lucky stars!”

Su Wan darted Lu Qingyu a look, “For the sake of your lucky stars, could you lower your service charge?”

Lu Qingyu moved his eyes and his smile was a little sly.

“Not this time. However, if both of you participate in the Lu’s auction next year, you could swipe your ID card with your VIP gold card before the opening and get a fifty percent discount on the service charge.”

As he spoke, he gave Su Wan a Lu Group VIP gold card.

“Petty.”

Su Wan took the thin card from Lu Qingyu’s hand. It would be a loss if she didn’t take it. If they were to come again next year, at least there would be a fifty percent discount.

The next item was still raw stone and this time there were five in total. The auctioneer probably thought that the imperial green jade which Su Wan won jarred many people. Hence, they took out the remaining five pieces for bids and cut at the same time.

The stone gamblers were all smart. All of them had raised their prices.

Su Wan looked at Lu Qingyu speechlessly and thought his smile was too wide.

The space in the private room was not big and to have an outsider present seemed awkward. Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan were not used to Lu Qingyu being the third wheel. So, very quickly, they invited him out.

After Lu Qingyu left, Su Wan stared at the screen, at the five raw stone cutters cutting stones on the stage.

However, the results were not as encouraging. After all, jadeite like the imperial green jade was rare!

Among these five raw stones, one of them was not even a jade and the other three were merely ordinary ice jadeite. The last was a gold filigree jadeite. Although it was far from the imperial green jade, it was enough to surprise many!

The gamblers who bought raw stones at high prices could only submit to their fate. One should dare to bet if one was involved in stone gambling!

After the bidding of raw stones, the auction items kept changing at a cursory glance manner.

Although Su Wan was not interested in the blue and white porcelain and Chinese painting, it was fun listening to Helena’s explanation in her elegant and charming voice.

Halfway through the auction, Su Wan suddenly saw some staffs carrying a long table onto the stage with something covered with a piece of red cloth. She couldn’t see the item clearly.

What item would be displayed on such a long table?

Su Wan raised her brows and took the auction list from the table once again. When she saw the name, she was stunned.

The auction item was a thousand-year-old guqin.

Just when Su Wan was spacing out, Helena started introducing the origin of the guqin.

“This guqin is called Fengqiwu and it’s the royal property of the Northern Song Dynasty. The production is extremely exquisite. The upper board was made of Chinese parasol tree and the lower board is of catalpa. Although it was made a long time ago, the tone is still warm and beautiful.

As Helena spoke, a musician in his fifties went up the stage. He plucked the strings slowly and the sound emitted was like someone sobbing when it was low, while when it was high, it was like the sound of wind and thunder. It gave off a certain kind of gloominess.

Su Wan stared steadily at the screen and tears suddenly appeared in her eyes.

When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan teary eyes, he asked softly, “Wan Wan, what’s wrong?”

Su Wan put away her sadness and smiled at him, “Nothing. My mother told me about this guqin in the past and it evoked some feelings.”

Jiang Xuecheng took Su Wan’s shoulders and with a calm voice said, “Then, let’s buy it.”
