"That's the kitchen, no one can live in it. Besides, you are an elder, how can I let you live in a small room?"
Bai Mei looked at the panicked Liu Qiufang and smiled.
"That won't work either. This house is great. I'm here to work."
"Okay, sister-in-law, please don't refuse. If you don't live in this house, it might be forcibly rented out in a few days. Just think of it as doing me a favor. Come and let me show you around." This house.”
Without giving Liu Qiufang a chance to defend himself, Liu Guangqi took Liu Qiufang to visit the house. Then Liu Guangqi asked Qin Huairu to take Liu Qiufang to take a bath to wash away the dirt and fleas on her body. Then he found some suitable clothes from Qin Huairu's clothes and put them on Liu Qiufang. The two of them were about the same figure and Liu Qiufang could just put them on, and the colors were not too bright.
The tattered cotton-padded jacket that Liu Qiufang was wearing now was not only embarrassing, but also not warm. The thin layer made Liu Guangqi feel cold just looking at it. He didn't know how Liu Qiufang survived those few days when he went home. Ten miles of windy and snowy road.
After being manipulated by Liu Guangqi for a while, Liu Qiufang seemed to be a different person. Although her face still looked a little malnourished, after taking a bath and putting on new clothes, she looked much more glorious. Looking at herself in the mirror, Liu Qiufang seemed to be in a dream. She had never worn such neat clothes since she was a child.
The next dinner at Liu Guangqi's house was an eye-opener for Liu Qiufang, who had been suffering for a lifetime. There were not only white flour buns and rice porridge, but also two meat dishes, one fried chicken nuggets and one scrambled eggs. That's right, in Liu Qiufang's eyes, scrambled eggs are already regarded as meat dishes. Her state was similar to that of Qin Huairu who had just entered the city.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you eat meat? Don't just eat vegetables."
What was a very ordinary meal in the eyes of Liu Guangqi and Qin Huairu, in the eyes of Liu Qiufang, was even more sumptuous than the New Year's Eve dinner, which made her reluctant to eat her food. A quick piece of cabbage.
"I can eat this, and you can eat the meat."
Liu Qiufang said cautiously.
"You don't have to be like this, sister-in-law, you are the elder and you can eat whatever you want. Don't feel embarrassed, how about trying the food cooked by your niece-in-law."
At Liu Guangqi's strong request, Liu Qiufang tiptoed and picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth. After tasting it carefully, she reluctantly swallowed it, and then picked up the cabbage again. Upon seeing this, Liu Guangqi knew that Liu Qiufang's habits could not be changed for a while, so he did not force it.
After dinner, Liu Guangqi arranged work for Liu Qiufang, which was actually nothing. He just took over Qin Huairu's responsibility for the household chores, such as washing and cooking. In the final analysis, Liu Guangqi let Liu Qiufang move in just to stop the neighborhood committee from wanting to rent a house, and the work was just a convenience. After all, the Liu family didn't have much work at all.
After dinner, Liu Guangqi returned to his bedroom, but as soon as he entered the door, he tripped over a wooden box. Looking at the wooden box, Liu Guangqi remembered that the old man had left something for himself.
Although he didn't think there could be any treasure in this box, Liu Guangqi still put the box on the table and prepared to find out. After all, it was the old man's wish.
"This is?"
After opening the box and seeing what was inside, Liu Guangqi was stunned. , he never imagined that the old man would leave so many treasures to himself. Liu Guangqi took a quick look at the box full of dishes. Most of them were official kiln porcelain from the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties. Every piece was extremely exquisite.
"What a beautiful Xuande snowflake blue."
In addition to the porcelain from the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong dynasties, Liu Guangqi actually found a large bowl from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty among the piles of porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. The whole body was mesmerizingly blue.
Liu Guangqi took out these things one by one and couldn't help but feel intoxicated when he put them in front of his eyes. Almost every one of these porcelains was of high quality. Although there were traces of use, it did not affect the integrity of these porcelains. Instead, it gave these porcelains a special flavor. Here comes some fireworks.
The old man left a total of six tea bowls for Liu Guangqi, one pair for each of the three generations of emperors. The tureens of Kangxi and Yongzheng were relatively simple, but by the time of Qianlong, the patterns on the tureens immediately became gaudy. Not only the bowls, but also the set of dinner plates from the Qianlong period are like this, showing the magnificence of the Qianlong period.
"Is this? A false accusation."
After taking the things away, Liu Guangqi found something wrapped in oil paper at the bottom of the box. When he opened it, he found that it contained a large plate. The entire plate was as white as ivory, and there was a delicate ring on the top of the plate. The edges of the plate are made of materials that cannot be seen due to the passage of time. The exquisite patterns engraved on the inside of the plate are as exquisite as modern handicrafts.
Liu Guangqi stared at the big plate for a long time, but he was still not sure whether the thing in front of him was what he had in mind. If it is true, then Liu Guangqi will make a lot of money this time. Although Liu Guangqi has many precious collections, he only has two collections from the Song Dynasty, and they are both calligraphy and painting. One is Mi Fu's running script, and the other is Ju Ran's. The picture of pines and wind in thousands of valleys.
No, there is also a three-legged dowry from the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty, but that thing is broken. Liu Guangqi restored it according to Tong Fengquanjiao's method. Although it is fine for use, in the final analysis it is still a broken piece and cannot be compared with a complete thing. .
After looking at it carefully, Liu Guangqi carefully put the things back into the oil paper bag. Although he could basically conclude that the thing in front of him was the Ding kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Guangqi did not dare to confirm it because he had never seen the real one. In the Ding kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, all the judgments were based on books. If possible, Liu Guangqi really wanted to get a pair of Zhuang Rui's golden boys, so that all the treasures in the world would be invisible to him.
"Where did so many bowls come from?"
After washing up, Qin Huairu walked into the bedroom wearing a pair of pajamas that Liu Guangqi had chosen for her. After being fed by Liu Guangqi for so long, Qin Huairu's figure had improved a lot compared to when she was before. The plumpness on her chest was no longer what it was before. The little apple grew to the same size as a papaya, and it took Liu Guangqi a lot of hard work and sweat. The skin has also changed from the original wheat color to the current tender white color. Now when Qin Huairu walks on the street, no one will think that she is a country girl.
Wearing cotton slippers on her feet, Qin Huairu walked to Liu Guangqi with enchanting steps, looked at the dishes on the table in front of her and asked.
"These are all left to me by the old man."
Smelling the fragrance of flowers after Qin Huairu's bath and looking at the looming scenery under the silk pajamas, Liu Guangqi suddenly felt that his body became hot. He pulled her into his arms and played with Qin Huairu's beautiful legs dishonestly with his hands. stand up.
"Why did the old man leave so many bowls behind? They are not for eating or drinking. But they look quite beautiful. They should be worth two cents."
Qin Huairu asked while holding Liu Guangqi's neck and looking at the pile of porcelain in front of her.
"That one should be removed. Don't underestimate these pots and pans. If you take out any of them, you can buy the yard we live in now."
"It's so valuable. It doesn't look like much to me. It looks like it's been used by others."
Qin Huairu immediately became excited upon hearing this, and carefully picked up a piece of porcelain and looked at it. After looking at it for a long time, I couldn't figure out anything.
"It also depends on who has used it. These things are from official kilns. In the past, only emperors, princes and ministers had the opportunity to use them, and no one else had the chance to use them. This is why it is valuable."
"Then where did the old man get these things?"
Qin Huairu looked at these things and asked. She had followed Liu Guangqi for several years, and she knew the situation of Liu Guangqi's family. Where did the poor farmers of the Liu family's ancestors get so many good things? If there were so many good things, the old man wouldn't need to His daughter was sold to give his son a wife.
"This should have been taken from Liu Papi's house when we were fighting against the local tyrants. It must have been."
After thinking about it, Liu Guangqi only had this possibility, and he also remembered that Fifth Master once mentioned to him that when he divided things, his grandfather not only asked for a bunch of baskets, but also asked for a few broken bowls that no one wanted. Now that I think about it, those broken bowls that Master Wu was talking about must be these things.
"It's really hard to find any support. It doesn't take any effort to get it."
Liu Guangqi looked at the pile of porcelain and sighed.
"Okay, stop reading and go to sleep."
After staring at the porcelain for a while, Qin Huairu found it boring and got up and hooked Liu Guangqi's belt and walked towards the canopy bed. When Liu Guangqi saw Qin Huairu's appearance, his blood suddenly boiled and he couldn't do anything after returning home for the past few days. , as a vigorous young man, he could not bear it any longer. Seeing the love in the corner of Qin Huairu's eyes, he pressed Qin Huairu on the bed with a tiger pounce.
The bright moonlight shines on the floor of the bedroom through the glass on the window, and there is a creaking sound in the small bedroom.
After a night of cloud and rain, Liu Guangqi felt refreshed. Putting on the clothes prepared by Qin Huairu, Liu Guangqi walked to the yard and took a deep breath of the fresh morning air of the old BJ in the 1950s.
"No need to shovel, sister-in-law, let's eat."
Liu Guangqi looked at Liu Qiufang who was shoveling snow in the yard with a shovel and shouted.
"Wait a moment, it will be done soon. Spit"
As he spoke, Liu Qiufang spat into the palm of his hand. Liu Guangqi frowned, and then continued to clean up the snow in the yard. Not to mention that Liu Qiufang was really good at work. In a short time, the snow in the yard was almost cleared.
"It's rice and flour again, everything is fine. This is not how we live. We have to save some money. Otherwise, if something happens, the family won't even have any spare money."
Looking at the food on the table, Liu Qiufang said worriedly. She thought that all the food was bought by Liu Guangqi with his salary, and she couldn't help but feel worried for Liu Guangqi.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, our family has too much food to eat. Huairu, you can take my sister-in-law to the cellar to have a look later."
In order to dispel Liu Qiufang's worries about eating, Liu Guangqi said.
After breakfast, Liu Guangqi came to Chen Xueru and asked Chen Xueru and Liu Cuifen to issue a work certificate. Then he went to the subdistrict office and handed over Liu Qiufang's documents. In this way, Liu Qiufang's household registration was settled in Bai Mei's house. inside. At that time, it will be useless for the neighborhood committee to try to find a solution.
Of course, in order to make Liu Qiufang's household registration process smoother, Liu Guangqi specially bought a story to tell the staff about Liu Qiufang's experience of being deprived of her household, which made the staff burst into tears. I almost didn't mention this to the Women's Federation.
"Brother Tong, why are you here?"
After finishing Liu Qiufang's household registration, Liu Guangqi wandered to Tong Fengquan's residence. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tong Fengquan and Tong Zhi, uncles and nephews, drinking wine around a brazier.
"I'm going to come over and see my uncle today."
"You are quite filial"
Liu Guangqi gave Tong Zhi a thumbs up, then pulled up a chair and sat in front of the brazier.
"Tell me, there's something else I don't understand."
After Liu Guangqi sat down, Tong Fengquan glanced at him and chuckled.
"I have to come to you when something happens. If nothing happens, I can't come over to see you. What you say is that you are describing me as a wolf who looks forward when I need people and looks behind when I don't need people."
Liu Guangqi said dissatisfied.
"Stop quibbling here. In your words, I can't take your pulse. I'm not a veterinarian anymore. I've found something good again. Take it out and take a look."
Tong Fengquan gave Liu Guangqi a white look and smiled.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Let me see if this thing is real."
As he said this, Liu Guangqi took out a large plate from his pocket, which was the Ding kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty left by the old man.
"It's a good thing to show off blind stubble"
Seeing what Liu Guangqi took out, Tong Fengquan, who was calm just now, immediately became excited and picked it up carefully.
"How can you tell it is real? Have you ever seen the real thing?"
"I'm sorry to tell you. When I was still an apprentice in Geguzhai, I actually saw a real one. It was similar to this one. The inheritance was orderly, otherwise it would be difficult for me to judge. The color is as white as Ivory, when struck, is as crisp and sweet as gold and stone, with some tear stains in some parts, yes, everything is right, it is a well-deserved good thing."
There are too many lost things in the antique shop. Many of them are orphans and cannot be referenced at all. If you want to judge the same thing except what is recorded in the book, you can only rely on experience.
"That's what you said, isn't this just a plate?"
Seeing Liu Guangqi and Tong Fengquan talking non-stop, Tong Zhi asked curiously.
"This is not an ordinary plate. This is a plate from the Northern Song Dynasty. Those that were fired and passed the test were sent directly to the palace. The unqualified ones were directly smashed. It has been more than a thousand years ago. A piece of porcelain can be preserved for more than a thousand years. When you think about it, you realize how difficult it is and how precious it is. The one my master bought was sold for 5,000 yuan. This thing is even more beautiful than that one. Look at this pattern. If it were placed in the Republic of China, it would be the least expensive. It can be sold for seven thousand oceans."
"so much."
Tong Zhi was shocked after hearing this.
"There are not many left. If you find one you like, the price will only be higher. The reason why this thing is so precious is because Ding Kiln stopped firing after the Song Dynasty. The existing Ding Kiln can be said to be very few."
Tong Fengquan saw that his nephew was interested, so he took the initiative to tell Tong Zhi about it, and even explained the reasons why Ding Kiln became a blind stubble.
Liu Guangqi stayed aside honestly, just reviewing the knowledge he had learned in the past.
"Where did you get this?"
After showing off his knowledge to his nephew, Tong Fengquan asked about the origin of this thing.
"you guess"
"I don't guess"
"This thing is a relic left to me by my grandfather."
"I am sorry for your loss"
When Tong Fengquan heard this, he remembered that Liu Guangqi's grandfather had passed away and quickly comforted him.
"It's okay, I've expected this day."
Now that he had appraised the things, there was no need for Liu Guangqi to take them here anymore. He went out and threw the plate into the space. Liu Guangqi turned around and came to the school to cancel his leave.
