"Damn it, this is not something you just bought from a ghost market."
Liu Guangqi was dumbfounded when he looked at the contents of the cloth bag.
"Well, that's it, how do you feel? Guangqi"
Wang Dongfang looked at Liu Guangqi expectantly.
"I feel it! I don't feel it. I just want to ask you who gave you the courage to buy this big thing."
Liu Guangqi looked at the three-legged Ru kiln dowry in front of him, which was as big as a basin, and said dumbfounded.
"You mean, this thing is fake?"
When Wang Dongfang heard Liu Guangqi's tone, his expression suddenly dropped.
"It's impossible to believe it when you think about it. It's such a big three-legged Ru kiln dowry. Forget me, even my master and others probably haven't seen it before. The one in the Forbidden City is even smaller than yours."
Liu Guangqi covered his forehead and smiled bitterly.
"If this grandson dares to lie to me, I will go find him."
When Wang Dongfang heard that the thing was fake, his eyes suddenly turned red, he picked up the thing and was about to go out.
"Hey, where are you going? Sit down."
Upon seeing this, Liu Guangqi stopped the furious Wang Dongfang.
"Don't stop me, Guangqi. I have to find this grandson. How dare you lie to me?"
Wang Dongfang cocked his neck and panted heavily, like a mad bull.
"Okay, sit down for me. Since you dare to buy, don't be afraid of buying the wrong thing. The key to the antique business is to make a purchase without looking for any debt. If you buy a fake, it shows that you don't have enough eyesight to pay for it. You have to practice, and you can’t blame others for selling goods. If you are discerning enough, you won’t be fooled by this.”
"But"
"Don't, the rules are the rules. If you want to work in this industry, you have to accept the rules of this industry. Maybe you find the person who sells your goods now and return the goods, but in the future you will be in the industry Even if your reputation is ruined, if you want to buy something in the ghost market in the future, you will definitely not be able to buy it. But everyone in the industry will exclude you."
"Then let's forget about it."
Wang Dongfang said reluctantly.
"Then we can just forget about it. Don't feel bad and just treat it like paying the tuition. I will learn a lesson and I will know it when I meet you again in the future."
Liu Guangqi patted Wang Dongfang on the shoulder and comforted him.
"The tuition is too expensive. It cost me a whole month's salary."
Wang Dongfang said with a grimace.
"Forty yuan is too much for you. Some people pay more for tuition than you do. Forty yuan is nothing.
And buying a Ru kiln from the Song Dynasty for 40, I don’t know what you are thinking, how can such a good thing happen? If you can really buy it, then go home and see your ancestral tombs, your ancestral tombs will definitely be green It's smoking, no, it's not smoke, it's burning, you understand.
When my master was working in Liulichang, he spent thousands of dollars to buy a three-legged Ru kiln dowry, and it was the smallest one. I can't even think of such a big three-legged dowry. "
"I also bought it when I saw one about the same size as this one in your study. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought it."
Although Liu Guangqi brought back a complete three-legged dowry from the Soviet Union, Liu Guangqi did not take it out. What was always on display was the restored product he bought from the descendants of Shen Songshan.
"You see that I made it out of pieces. You dare to buy it without knowing anything. I really admire you.
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. If you really want to get into the industry, I will give you a few books later. You can read them first to understand the knowledge of antiques. If you have nothing to do, go to ghost markets and cultural relic shops and wander around. Read more and buy less. Wait until your eyesight is almost trained before taking action. "
Liu Guangqi looked at Wang Dongfang's remorseful look and did not hit him again. Instead, he advised him as a senior.
"I see.
Wang Dongfang nodded, then picked up the three-legged dowry the size of a basin and raised it high.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
When Liu Guangqi saw this, he immediately stopped him and snatched the three-legged dowry from his hand.
"I'm going to keep the truth. This thing has deceived me, so I can never let this thing leak out and harm others."
Wang Dongfang said with firm eyes.
"Okay, your consciousness is high enough. You think of yourself as Wang Gang."
"Who is Wang Gang?"
"A primary school student in Changchun, Northeast China, don't pretend to be fake. Although this thing is not from the Song Dynasty, it is an imitation from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Although the imitation technology is not very good, it is still an old thing for decades. Although it is not available now. How valuable it is, it won’t be certain after waiting for decades.”
Although the imitation in front of me is not very valuable in this period, it is still somewhat valuable in the 21st century when collecting is booming, and it can be sold for at least six figures.
"Just think of it as a souvenir. You can put it at home and have a chat. You can also remind yourself from time to time. You can go to my house later to see the difference between the real thing and the fake one."
"Okay, now that we've finished reading this, it's time to talk about the next thing. Let me see what good things you brought from your hometown."
At any rate, Liu Guangqi finally persuaded Wang Dongfang, who was planning to fake the truth.
Then he looked at Wang Dongfang with expectation. It was not surprising that Wang Dongfang bought a fake imitation Liu Guangqi. After all, Wang Dongfang’s level was displayed here. It would be strange for him to buy the real thing. The reason why Liu Guangqi followed him Wang Dongfang came here mainly because he wanted to see the things he brought from his hometown. Only then could they be really good things.
"Now, look, this is something from my second uncle's house. He threw it out of the ground."
As he said this, Wang Dongfang took out a small paper bag wrapped in newspaper from under his pillow and placed it on the table.
When Liu Guangqi opened it, his breathing suddenly became rapid. What was wrapped in the newspaper was a piece of dragon-patterned jade wall. Although the jade wall was dusty, cracked, and not round at all, Liu Guangqi could see it at a glance. Come out, this is an old thing from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
However, in view of the long experience of counterfeiting in his hometown, Liu Guangqi picked up the jade wall and observed it carefully under the light.
The more Liu Guangqi looked at it, the more excited he became. The entire jade wall was about 11 centimeters in diameter and divided into two inner and outer rings. Between the two rings were carved these two exquisite horned dragons. The workmanship is exquisite and powerful, and each cut reveals a sense of domineering.
“Good stuff, good stuff, well-deserved good stuff”
Liu Guangqi looked at it over and over several times and was reluctant to put it down. According to his calculation, the jade wall in front of him was at least a burial object of the princes and kings. It was even very likely that it was a burial object of a certain emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. After all, Wang Dongfang's home was not far away from Jincun. Far.
"Guangqi, if you like this thing, I'll give it to you."
Wang Dongfang gritted his teeth and said as he saw Liu Guangqi couldn't put it down. Although it hurts to give this thing away, it is worth it to be able to make friends with Liu Guangqi.
"Come on, this thing is not yours. If you give it to me, how will you explain it to your second uncle when you go back? This thing is worth a lot of money. You can't lie to your second uncle and say it's not valuable."
Liu Guangqi glanced at Wang Dongfang and put down the jade wall in his hand.
"I know what you're looking for me. You just want me to help you find someone who can take action. You look like a fake at first sight. The cultural relics store will definitely not accept it. But these days, if you want to find someone rich, It’s not easy for people who have time, so let’s do this, I’ll buy this thing for three hundred yuan, what do you think?”
Liu Guangqi asked tentatively. To be honest, if he didn't really like him, he wouldn't have opened his mouth like this, because many good friendships have drifted apart because of this, which made him feel uncomfortable. After all, The market situation is like this. If you don't give it to others, they will feel uncomfortable and feel that you have cheated them. After all, how much can this thing sell for in the past two years?
"No problem, you can do as much as you want, I can trust you."
After hearing Liu Guangqi's offer, Wang Dongfang agreed without saying a word.
"Dongfang, although I have collected the things, I still have something to tell you. A gentleman loves money in a wise way. I know your family is poor and your life is difficult, but I don't want you to go astray because of money. Also, antiques are just a hobby, don’t waste your eating skills because of this, that’s the foundation of our footing.”
Liu Guangqi gently hit Wang Dongfang's chest twice. It was difficult to say some words clearly, but Liu Guangqi knew that Wang Dongfang would understand what he said.
In fact, Liu Guangqi was not qualified to say this. After all, the incident at the Heisheli Tomb was still fresh in his mind, but in order to prevent Wang Dongfang from going astray, Liu Guangqi still said it.
"I understand, Guangqi, I remember everything you said."
Hearing the warning in Liu Guangqi's words, Wang Dongfang's expression changed. After struggling for a long time with a frown, he assured Liu Guangqi.
"Just remember, I will take this jade wall, and I will give you the money when I go to work tomorrow. If you have anything left at home, you can give it to me after the Chinese New Year, and I will collect it together. ”
After explaining to Wang Dongfang, Liu Guangqi left Wang Dongfang's house on his bicycle.
After Liu Guangqi left, Wang Dongfang collapsed on the bed, breathing heavily and sweating on his face.
He knew that Liu Guangqi must have seen the origin of the jade wall, and that's why he hit him both inside and outside of his words. That is to say, the relationship between the two is strong enough. If it were not, someone else would have reported him long ago. After all, tomb robbing is a serious crime.
"Dad, you are back. When did you come back?"
Riding his newly bought bicycle, Liu Guangqi quickly returned to Nanluogu Lane. As soon as he entered the house, Liu Guangqi heard the hearty laughter of Liu Haizhong. When I entered the house, I saw that it was Liu Haizhong who was playing with his grandson.
"Well, I've just been back for more than an hour. Boss, what's going on with Dongxu? Why did he die after he was fine?"
As soon as Liu Guangqi sat down, Liu Haizhong couldn't wait to poke his head over. During his absence, such a big thing happened in the courtyard, but it made him anxious.
"It's not because of greed. Instead of doing a good job, I had to go to the mine alone to look for the gold left by some kid. The result was not good, and I lost my life in it."
"Oh, it's such a pity that he left at such a young age."
When Liu Haizhong heard the cause of Jia Dongxu's death, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Although the relationship between the two families was not good, it had not yet reached the point where they were bitter and feuding and would never interact with each other until death.
After all, Jia Dongxu was a child that Liu Haizhong watched grow up. He suddenly disappeared, and anyone who knew about it would feel uncomfortable.
"When he leaves, I'm afraid the Jia family's life will be difficult. As an orphan and a widower, Jia and Zhang are very lazy and lazy. Your sister-in-law can't bear her shoulders and can't lift her hands. She has two children with her. How do you think we should live like this?" ah.
"
"Dad, when did you become so, so sentimental?"
Looking at the melancholy bangs, Liu Guangqi thought for a long time and finally came up with an adjective. In the past, Liu Haizhong would not be so considerate of others. Could it be that he has become soft-hearted as he gets older?
"Go away, who is being sentimental? As the second uncle in the courtyard, such a big thing happened in the courtyard, can I not think about the future life of the Jia family? Besides, Huiru is your sister-in-law. Our two families also Considered relatives.”
Hearing Liu Guangqi say this about him, Liu Haili immediately stared.
"Don't worry, I have made arrangements. When Huiru gives birth to the child, she will be arranged to work in the factory after confinement. As for the child, if Mrs. Jia Zhang is willing to take care of her, she can take care of her. If she doesn't want to take care of her, she can leave her with us. In this courtyard, one sheep is being herded, and a group of sheep are being driven. Get off your grandpa quickly. If you don’t get down, I’ll beat you up.”
Liu Guangqi looked at Liu Jianyun who was lying on Liu Haizhong's neck and riding a big horse. Liu Guangqi raised his hand unceremoniously. This child was fun when he was young. When he was a little older, even calling him by his full name would not be enough to show his parents' heart. of anger.
"What are you yelling about? He can crawl if he wants to. If you scare my grandson, be careful and I'll beat you up."
Hearing Liu Guangqi scolding his eldest brother and grandson, Liu Haili immediately became unhappy. He glared and threatened Liu Guangqi. Since Liu Jianyun was born, Liu Guangqi's center of bangs has plummeted.
"Just spoil him, he will be spoiled sooner or later."
Liu Guangqi looked at Liu Haizhong's doting look and said helplessly.
"Dad, you are back."
As soon as the father and son finished speaking, Liu Guangtian walked in. Seeing Liu Haizhong, he wanted to go back, but when he thought of Liu Guangqi's chassis, he emboldened himself to walk in again.
"Well, you're back from school. How have you been studying in school for the past two months, second brother?"
Liu Haizhong looked at his second son and nodded, and took the initiative to ask about Liu Guangtian's study situation.
"Hey, that's good. Brother, I've already finished reading the book you gave me. I want to exchange two more."
Faced with Liu Haizhong's sudden concern, Liu Guangtian seemed a little uncomfortable and quickly changed the topic.
"Oh, I've finished reading it. Then come up with me and I'll get it for you."
Liu Guangqi nodded and got up and walked towards the study room in the attic.
"I won't give it. Why should I give it to you? This is the money my son gave his life for. Don't think I don't know what you want the money for. You must have taken the money and ran away to find a wild man outside. Let me tell you. You are dreaming, I won’t give you any of this money, just give up on this.”
After Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian came out of the space immediately, and when he was about to go to the front to eat with the child in his arms, the noisy voice of Jia Zhang suddenly came from the middle courtyard.
"What's going on? It's true that this aunt quarreled every day and could quarrel with anyone. It's a good thing we don't live in that hospital, otherwise we would be annoyed to death. It was really hard for Hui Ru to die, why? That's why I fell in love with such a mother-in-law."
Qin Huairu frowned when she heard Jia Zhang's loud voice next door.
"She chose her own path. She can't blame others. She has to walk on it even with tears in her eyes."
Liu Guangqi sat down on the chair.
"Just stop sitting and go over and take a look. Huiru is still pregnant."
Qin Huairu patted Liu Guangqi who was indifferent.
"Fine"
Liu Guangqi stood up reluctantly. He had already had enough of seeing Jia Zhang's old face every day for the past two days, but it was not enough not to look at it.
"I am coming too."
Liu Haizhong followed suit as soon as he heard this.
"Hey, the second uncle is back."
As soon as the father and son entered the backyard, they saw Xu Damao coming out of the house with a bowl of fried noodles, ready to go out front to see the excitement.
"Well, I'm back."
Liu Haizhong responded, then walked towards the middle courtyard with a big belly.
"What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss, Mrs. Jia Zhang? I heard you making a fuss from the next door."
As soon as Liu Haizhong entered the middle courtyard, someone came to him first.
"What's the matter with you, Liu Haizhong, please stay out of our family's housework."
Seeing Liu Haizhong's bossy look, Jia Zhang pushed back unceremoniously.
"I am the second uncle in this courtyard, why can't I take care of it?"
Seeing that Mr. Jia Zhang didn't take him seriously, Liu Haizhong's old face immediately darkened.
"Fucking second uncle, if I give you face, you are the second uncle. If I don't give you face, you are nothing."
Jia Zhang glanced disdainfully at Liu Haizhong.
"Try saying something again."
"That's what I said. Use chicken feathers as arrows and act like stewards. You guys have become sperms. If you have the ability, arrest me. Come on."
As he said this, Jia Zhang moved closer to Liu Haizhong.
"you"
Seeing Jia Zhang's generous look. Liu Haizhong was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Okay, Mrs. Jia Zhang, my dad also has good intentions and wants to ask why you are quarreling. Don't mistake your good intentions for donkey's liver and lungs."
At this moment, Liu Guangqi suddenly walked out from behind his bangs. Seeing Liu Guangqi, Jia Zhang's arrogant attitude, he immediately restrained himself a lot.
"Brother-in-law, you are here"
Seeing Liu Guangqi arriving and wiping tears on the side, Qin Huiru suddenly seemed to have found a backbone and stood beside Liu Guangqi.
"Come here. Qin Huiru, your man just died and you got in front of other men. What do you want to do?"
When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huiru's actions, her eyebrows immediately stood up.
"What's wrong with me standing in front of my brother-in-law? If you are dirty yourself, don't look at everyone else."
"Ouch"
Hearing Qin Huiru's words, the neighbors in the courtyard immediately exploded as they watched the excitement. Qin Huiru, there is something in her words.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you believe it or not if I tear your mouth apart?"
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard Qin Huiru's words, she was like an old cat whose tail was stepped on. Her fur suddenly exploded, and she opened her claws and rushed towards Qin Huiru.
"That's enough for you, Huiru is still pregnant."
