The person Feng Zhirong sent to pick me up was Feng Qu. I didn’t let him follow me. I got out of the car alone and stepped into the Laojin Building.
There were many customers in the store, and a waiter came to greet me.
I directly asked Mr. Jin Shunchang if he was there?
The waiter who came to receive me happened to be the same one I saw last time.
With a look of surprise on her face, she quickly invited me up to the second floor and poured me another pot of Longjing. Then she asked me to wait for a moment and then hurried downstairs to notify Jin Shunchang.
I took out the golden abacus from the wooden box.
There is a column with gold beads strung on it, which has a strong sense of substance, but the overall abacus looks dilapidated.
After looking down for a while, he found the lines on the edge of the golden abacus and found the compass.
It just occurred to me that Zhang Jiugua and my grandfather Luo Zhongliang came from the same school. Maybe these two things should have been passed down to one person?
But when it came to my grandfather and Zhang Jiugua's generation, they were two disciples, so things were scattered...
With my thoughts at this point, I turned over the compass and read the words on the back completely subconsciously.
"Luo Zhongliang, twenty-seventh generation disciple, Chi." Immediately afterwards, I took another look at the back of the golden abacus.
What makes my heart beat wildly is that there are no lines on the beam in the middle of the abacus. Instead, it is engraved with small and precise words!
There are twenty-six lines in total in the front.
I compared them one by one, and sure enough, from the first name to the twenty-sixth name, they were all written in the same handwriting.
It is not until line 27 that there is a change.
"Zhang Jiu Gua, twenty-seventh generation disciple, holds."
I suppressed my heartbeat, and it was indeed what I guessed.
I'm afraid the original single lineage of this lineage was Mr. Yin Yang. My grandfather and Zhang Jiugua divided it into Mr. Yin Shu and Tiekou Jinsuan.
It's just that everything has its own destiny.
In the end, both of these things came into my hands by accident.
I suddenly felt that the sentence in Zhang Jiugua's suicide note had more profound meaning.
"It is well known in the Feng Shui community that Tiekou Jinsuan and Mr. Yin Shu came from the same school, but they parted ways due to different temperaments."
"And the hexagram of my fate will send me to the dust of a person who practices Yin magic, so I thought to myself, if I leave the bones and golden abacus to that Yin magic person, wouldn't I share the same disciple with Luo Zhongliang? Master, I think Satisfied, Luo Zhongliang will not be able to live in peace even after death, and I feel happy in my heart."
At first, I thought it was Zhang Jiugua's bad taste.
He and my grandfather have different personalities, and even if he dies, he will try to trick my grandfather.
Only now did he realize that he probably also wanted to return to Mr. Yin Yang's lineage in the next term...
Don't let this hundreds of years of inheritance be separated because of him and my grandfather!
Just when I was thinking about whether to carve my name on the fixed compass and the golden abacus.
The sound of footsteps came.
I immediately put away the compass with my backhand, and then raised my head.
The person who walked up to the second floor was an old man wearing a yellow mantle.
He still had the same gold-rimmed glasses, but the mole on his forehead was slightly shriveled.
I frowned.
Jin Shunchang's face was filled with joy, and there was no hint of fatigue in his expression.
"Boss Luo, I haven't seen you for a few days. I thought you weren't coming! I'm looking for so many golden counting pillars and I'm not willing to melt them!"
Jin Shunchang said with a smile. When he got close to me, he stretched out his hand and shook my hand.
I also smiled and stood up: "I encountered some troubles in the past few days. After handling them, I went back to the countryside to rest for three days. I just entered the city today and came here immediately." After that, I handed over the gold The abacus was handed to Jin Shunchang.
He carefully took it with both hands and hurried to the side of the tool table.
The next moment, he took out a black leather box from his close-fitting bag.
After opening it, fourteen exquisite gold counting pillars lay inside the velvet box!
I also immediately opened the wooden box and placed the bag of beads on the workbench.
Jin Shunchang sighed and said solemnly: "The maker of this abacus must be a master. There are many landscape carvings on it. This is not easy on gold vessels. Especially this is not modern gold. One can imagine its uncanny craftsmanship.”
My heart skipped a beat. I didn't expect that Jin Shunchang didn't know anything. He could see many problems with his naked eyes alone.
He began to put on the gold calculation pillar and string the beads into it.
I could also see God and forget the passage of time.
Until the last golden column is embedded in the abacus and all the beads are strung.
The entire golden abacus becomes complete!
But because they have not been used for a long time, the abacus beads and abacus stand have become dusty.
Jin Shunchang adjusted the frames of his glasses, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then began to clean the golden abacus, carefully wiping it with a white cloth.
When he stopped, the entire golden abacus reflected the bright gold light under the light, which was particularly eye-catching.
"Boss Luo, see if there is any problem. One hundred and five beads, not a few." Jin Shunchang held up the abacus and handed it to me.
After I took it, my heartbeat was in my throat.
In addition to the heavy feel, it also gave me a sense of completeness, and there seemed to be a temptation to move the beads.
I checked carefully and found that every counting column was very solid and there was no sign of looseness.
I carefully put away the gold abacus and did not move it.
Firstly, I am not very good at using it, and secondly, I also promised Blind Chen that I would give him the first hexagram.
"Master Jin, your craftsmanship is no weaker than everyone else's." While feeling happy, I also praised Jin Shunchang.
He smiled and touched his chin, saying that he was still far away.
At this moment, I discovered that the mole on his forehead was much shriveled up again.
Jin Shunchang's mole, located on the forehead above his brow, is also called a friendship mole.
When I saw him before, his mole was still a smooth and protruding beautiful mole.
But now, he saw that it had turned into a shriveled and evil mole.
A friendship mole represents good friends. If it becomes a bad mole, it means that you will be dragged down by your friends.
I squinted my eyes slightly and hesitated a little.
Jin Shunchang asked me in a surprised voice: "Boss Luo, is there something on my face?"
I took a deep breath, put away those thoughts, smiled and shook my head: "No, I thought of some other things, and I was lost in thought. Master Jin, please calculate the labor cost and gold price! I still have things to worry about."
Jin Shunchang quoted me a price with a smile. The gold cost was 650,000 yuan. It took a lot of effort to open the mold, which also cost more than 50,000 yuan. He charged me 30,000 yuan for the craftsmanship fee, a total of 730,000 yuan. !
Asked me if I wanted to pay by cash or card.
I went downstairs and swiped my card, and Jin Shunchang sent me outside the door of Laojin Tower.
At this moment, it was completely dark.
After getting in the car, Feng Qu dozed off in the driver's seat.
"Mr. Luo, you figured it out, it's already early in the morning." Feng Qu yawned.
