Chapter 335 Auction House



Xiaoqi taught for two hours and then left.

Li Wei Jin insisted on having the family driver take her there. In fact, if she didn't have tutoring classes tomorrow, Li Wei Jin would have wanted to go back to school with him.

The drive is quite long, two hours at work and three hours on the road.

However, Xiaoqi did not waste the time in the car. She felt that she was rejected for the Japanese translator job because she did not have a certificate. She should still take a level test. After all, in the initial stage, without a certification, you say you can do it, but it is hard to say how well you can do it. With a level test certificate, it is clear at a glance.

So on the way back, Xiaoqi used the time in the car to learn Japanese and Korean.

Her Korean is still at the basic level and there is a lot of room for improvement, so she studies alternately.

The one who sent Xiaoqi back was the old man who went to the temple to pick up Li Weijin last time. He looked like a steady old man. He was dressed neatly in light green Chinese clothes even in the hot weather. Xiaoqi had bought a set of Chinese clothes for his father. It was quite expensive. The old man wore it very straight, and it looked like it must be even more expensive.

Xiaoqi is still very introverted in front of people she doesn't know well. She hardly talks. If she forces herself to talk, she will feel very embarrassed. Instead, she feels less embarrassed if she concentrates on doing her own things.

When the housekeeper saw this little girl who started learning as soon as she got on the bus... he inexplicably felt that she was a great help to the family.

When Xiaoqi arrives at school, he can still catch lunch in the cafeteria.

Li Weijin actually wanted to keep Xiaoqi at home for dinner, but when he thought of his unreasonable parents, he gave up.

He was worried that Xiao Qi would misunderstand him when he met his parents, thinking that he was also that unreliable...

At the age of 18, Li Weijin felt that his parents were very embarrassing and ashamed, and he was too embarrassed to let Xiaoqi see them.

Gao Cuihua and Li Qianmen were shocked to see that their baby finished studying in the morning and did not go out to play in the afternoon but continued to study. If the baby was not still so good-looking, they would have thought that he had been switched.

The power of love is indeed great.

"That little girl is quite pretty. I took a sneak peek at her this morning." Gao Cuihua said with a smile.

Li Qianmen's face was serious, but he nodded proudly in his heart: "My son has the same vision as me."

Gao Cuihua laughed even more happily, her face flushed, and the fat on her waist was trembling.

Li Tangsong, who went home on time for lunch: ...

I'm used to being abused every day.

After finishing his meal, Xiaoqi returned to the dormitory and wanted to complain to his roommates about the person he was tutoring.

As a result, Mi'er went to the student union, Wei Cheng went to the horse farm, and the otaku Yunshu was not there either, he went to the tea art club. I had a lot of complaints, but nowhere to vent, and I felt so suffocated.

Forget it, I'd better play by myself. After all, I'm a college student and I have to learn to be alone.

Xiaoqi practiced calligraphy in the dormitory for half an hour and then went to take a nap.

It's rare that I get to sleep for a long time. When I woke up, it was already past three o'clock.

If you linger in the dormitory for a while, it may soon be evening, and your roommates haven't come back yet. Your desire to complain has been reduced to 30%.

Should I dawdle or go out? In the end, Xiao Qi decided to go out to the library.

It’s nice to go to the library on a lazy weekend afternoon.

The scenery along the way was also nice, and it helped me take more than half of the steps I needed for the day.

Going to the library on the weekend didn't seem like a good idea, so Xiao Qi decided to relax and read some books in the library...

When she was taking applied statistics class before, Xiaoqi was distracted and thought about Yunshu's jade pendant. She thought it was very beautiful. She heard Yunshu say it was very expensive, which was a bit confusing. There were jadeite sold on the street for tens or hundreds of yuan, and there was also jadeite. She had seen jadeite sold on the street stalls in the town before, with Buddha, Guanyin, leaves and so on. The small ones were ten yuan and the big ones were twenty yuan. The carving was average, but they were pretty good-looking, and there were also green ones.

It is not much different from the jade pendant on Yunshu's neck, which is said to be able to sell for hundreds of thousands of yuan. Xiaoqi feels that she is really too young and has a lot to learn.

So she looked for some miscellaneous books, such as "Appreciation of Hotan Seed Material," "How to Identify A-Grade Jade," "Stories of Historical Celebrities and Jade," and "A Complete Guide to Authentic Ancient Jade."

Xiaoqi took four books at once. The school library is very large, and it is very troublesome to find books one by one. It is normal to take five or six books at a time. As long as you don’t take dozens of books, no one will care.

The job of library maintainer is also a student working part-time, so it is a relatively relaxed one.

The state of reading leisure books is that you like to flip through books randomly.

There is so much knowledge nowadays that you can learn it anywhere. It is a knowledge explosion. How to filter out useful knowledge, read it, and make this knowledge your own is meaningful learning.

To a large extent, these books may not be used at all, or even half of them may be useless. However, any knowledge starts from scratch. From half of them, you will gradually learn more and more, and then you will gradually become an expert.

Although it had nothing to do with his current life, Xiaoqi still read it seriously.

She believes that any useful knowledge will not be wasted.

However, since it was just a casual read, Xiaoqi did not read it from beginning to end, because reading from beginning to end would be very slow. When she got a book, she would flip through it first. If she found it interesting, she would read it carefully. If she found it boring, she would selectively flip through some of it randomly and write down what she read randomly.

In short, you don’t have to read the whole thing, but try to remember what you read.

Reading "Appreciation of Hotan Seed Material", it is basically full of pictures, and the pictures are all very nice. There are too many types of Hetian jade, including Qinghai material, Korean material, Shanliushui material, and Russian material. Each material has further subdivisions, and all of these can be collectively called Hetian jade. Xiaoqi feels that he certainly cannot distinguish them at the moment. He probably needs to be cheated many times before he can understand them a little bit.

As for "How to Identify A-Grade Jadeite", it is even more varied. Some of them are even faked with beer bottles, and the pictures look very realistic. There are also Xiuyan jade, water grass agate, etc. However, the origin of jadeite is relatively single, only in Myanmar. Jadeite is hard jade, and I feel it should be easier to identify than Hotan seed material.

Both of these books are mostly pictures, so I finished reading them very quickly.

The book "Stories of Historical Figures and Jade" is quite interesting. It consists mostly of fabricated unofficial histories. Emperor Qianlong, Empress Dowager Cixi and Soong Mei-ling all loved jade very much. Since they are unofficial histories, they are very interesting to read and are very quick and brain-saving.

The last book, "A Complete Guide to the Authenticity of Ancient Jades", was as difficult for Xiaoqi as reading a book written in heaven.

Looking at the pictures, she felt that they were all real. The two previous books on identifying Hetian seed materials and A-grade jadeite had some basis. This ancient jade looked like it was real, but also looked fake.

To know the authenticity of ancient jade, in addition to the knowledge of identification itself, one must also have rich historical knowledge and be familiar with historical details. For example, if you forge the seal of a certain official, if you understand the details of historical knowledge, you will know what the seal of this official of this level and this dynasty looks like, what rules and restrictions there are, and the name of this dynasty, etc. Xiaoqi felt like he had regressed to illiteracy after reading a few pages. He had too little knowledge and too many blind spots, and felt so uncultured.

I have almost finished reading the four books and have gained some basic knowledge. At least I won't confuse Hetian jade with jadeite. As for the specific identification, Xiaoqi feels that it is still quite difficult. I have a feeling that what I learned from books is always shallow. I still need to see more real objects.

It is already golden outside the window. The sun has set and the sunset glow is hanging in the sky. Tomorrow will be sunny again.

Xiaoqi checked the WeChat roommate group on her phone. All her roommates had gone home, but they still had their own meals at night. Xiaoqi also felt hungry. She now felt very hungry before every meal, as if she had consumed a lot of energy and had to eat a lot.

After putting the book back, Xiaoqi packed his schoolbag and walked back.

We went to the cafeteria to eat again. Today was a surprise. It was the weekend and they had spareribs with fermented bean curd sauce. Xiaoqi greedily took two large pieces. She was eating alone, so she took out her cell phone and looked at it while eating.

I scrolled through Douyin for a while and unexpectedly saw myself. It was a Douyin video of her horse racing competition, with more than 200,000 likes. I was so surprised. I clicked on the comments and saw all kinds of comments. Xiaoqi found it funny.

Thinking that Jia Jia also had a Douyin account, she asked her to follow it. She turned to the follow page and saw a post about horse racing. The post edited by Jia Jia was different from the one on Enhua's official website. Jia Jia preferred to show her appearance. It was a set of photos on Douyin, with Jia Jia's dubbing and text. It had more than 40,000 likes, which was a lot.

Then I watched a condensed version of the movie for a while. There were three videos in each episode introducing the movie, but the screen was locked after the second episode.

She only has one hour to use Tik Tok every day. Because today is the weekend and she has already used it for a while after getting up this morning, it is time now.

I was halfway through the movie and didn't know what would happen next, but I still felt itchy. I set a rule, and Xiaoqi didn't break it himself, so he resisted the urge to unlock it.

She simply opened the school forum to check. She had applied for three part-time jobs before, one was approved, one was rejected, and there was no news about the other one. She didn't know what was going on. When she opened it, she found a private message.

It was a private message from the auction house, which arrived last night. She didn't open the notification. It showed that her application was approved and that they should gather on the 26th floor of the Jinghai Canal Hotel in Mengshi at 2 pm on Sunday. There was also a note with specific requirements, asking her to receive a reply for confirmation.
