Wu Duo thought as he lit a cigarette.

Guan Zhiyu took two puffs of his pipe, "Waiting for the bronze Buddha statue to be delivered, there will be a while, then I will say a few more words to you." ”

"The old man really said what he said. Wu Duoying said.

"One word?" Guan Zhiyu laughed twice, "In this antique shop, how can there be any one word?" Besides, I didn't say that I must tell you the origin of this big coin. ”

Wu Duo thought about it, Guan Zhiyu's words before were indeed just hints, and he didn't explicitly say that he would tell him when the deal was done.

Fortunately, he still has to say it now.

"······ you, old man?"

"The reason why I tell you is that I am happy today. Guan Zhiyu said, slowly picking up the big money, "Second, count me as selling a person's face!"

"Zhang Lao's face, I understand. Wu Duo nodded.

"Zhang Chengjin?" Guan Zhiyu looked at Wu Duo, "Why should I give him face? I came to him to do something, if it is done, I will not treat him badly; to put it bluntly, it is just a deal." Besides, he didn't do it. ”

Wu Duo was flashed.

For Zhang Chengjin, Guan Zhiyu's words were not too unexpected. However, whose face is this selling?

"Because of your grandfather!"

"My grandfather?"

"Li Tianfeng told me two days ago, saying that he had seen your grandfather in Qizhou, and you also received his ink jade Xuanwu seal. Originally, I didn't believe that a young man could have such eyesight, but this big money made me look at you with admiration. ”

Wu Duo finally understood! Yes, since the old rich man was familiar with Li Tianfeng and was Wu Di's cousin, it was reasonable for Guan Zhiyu to know him.

Guan Zhiyu smiled, "Li Tianfeng took back the Moyu Xuanwu Seal and spent 10 million;

Wu Duo silently extinguished the cigarette butt.

Guan Zhiyu also kowtowed his pipe, "The Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Households, the official in charge is the Household Servant, because he is mainly in charge of coinage, so he is called the Qian Fa Waiter, and his subordinates also have the Supervision Officer, the Bureau Ambassador, the pen post style, and so on. When Xianfeng ingots were the mother of a thousand carvings, in addition to the storage, the emperor once rewarded two out. ”

Wu Duo heard Guan Zhiyu start to say, and couldn't help but light another cigarette.

Guan Zhiyu continued:

"Of these two carved mothers, one for a prince and one for a minister. This reward is not public, but it has to go through the Baoquan Bureau's Qian Fa Lang, and he must know about it. At that time, my ancestor had a close relationship with Qian Fa Shilang and knew about it. ”

"My ancestor also wanted to collect a carving mother, but the other carving mothers have already been put into storage, and his identity and title are not enough, so it is impossible for the emperor to reward him again. ”

"This prince and my ancestor are also close to each other, so through the relationship between them, they can be regarded as seeing it with their own eyes. At that time, my ancestor once asked if I could borrow it for a few days and make a carving mother as well. But the prince refused, if something went wrong and the emperor blamed it, it would not be a trivial matter. ”

So the matter was put on hold. Five years later, that is, in the ninth year of Xianfeng, the prince fell seriously ill and died, and the carving mother passed to his son. At this time, my ancestor found his son again. ”

"This time, it was done. My ancestor got this carving mother, and at the same time asked Qian Fa Lang to help understand the key points of copper and carving. Then I invited a skilled craftsman, and I made two of them!"

"After all, this matter is risky, so my ancestors have always been cautious. It wasn't until the eleventh year of Xianfeng that the emperor died, and he was completely relieved. Emperor Tongzhi succeeded to the throne and issued new money, and the possibility of this matter being investigated is very small. ”

"These two carving mothers are actually not much different from the real thing, but they are five years late, and by the way, they are not from the hands of the official furnace craftsmen. ”

"Since then, these two carving mothers have been passed down in my family. ”

Speaking of this, Guan Zhiyu looked at Wu Duo, "I think, the reason why you can see it is because of the pulp." It is impossible for the real carving mother to have such a pulp, but these two pieces inherited by my family have been touched by the appreciation, and they have formed a ripe and moist pulp. The second is that the copper of these two pieces is consistent with the coinage of the genuine Xianfeng ingots. Combined with the analysis of the two, the conclusion that the general introduction may not be a few years away. ”

Wu Duo smiled silently. He can't say this, he is not "roughly deriving", he can be accurate to "Xianfeng nine years", but he just said "not a few years".

Guan Zhiyu didn't care, and continued:

"During the Republic of China, there were some changes in my family, and I separated. Of these two carving mothers, my grandfather got one, and my second grandfather got one. It's a pity that my second grandfather gambled, and later became obsessed with Fushou ointment, lost all the family property, and the carving mother in his hand was sold by him, and when my grandfather learned about it, his whereabouts were already unknown. ”

"My grandfather had this one in his hand, but it was passed down from generation to generation, and then to my father, and he used to play with it, and then I used to enjoy it. ”

"By the sixties of the last century, a lot of things in the house were stolen. My father was timid, and this carving mother was not copied, but before he came to raid the house, he himself threw it into the waste heap quite far from home. Because this is not an ordinary copper coin, it is an eagle mother! It is easy to be buttoned up in a big hat. Although it is a 'high imitation', I am afraid that I will not be able to tell it when the time comes, so it is better to throw it away in advance. ”

"In this way, my ancestors finally made two pieces as a thousand eagle mothers, one was sold, and the other was thrown away. ”

Guan Zhiyu refilled the pipe again and lit it again, "Twenty years ago, I got the news that there was a similar eagle mother on Hong Kong Island, and I went through many rounds and inquired about the owner of the goods, and coincidentally, it cost 70,000 yuan to buy it at the same price as you bought it today." It turned out to be the one my father threw in the garbage!"

"I didn't expect it, this time I came to Qizhou to do business, and I actually ran into this one that was sold by my second grandfather back then!" Guan Zhiyu took this big coin and tossed it twice in his hand on a whim.

After hearing this, Wu Duo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

For Guan Zhiyu, such an important thing, he was able to be so calm in front of the stall at that time!

Not only did he not show a sense of urgency, but he was also very disciplined and did not fight or grab.

Guan Zhiyu seemed to see what Wu Duo was thinking, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." And I also said that I want to give your grandfather face. ”

"Thank you Mr. Guan for your advice. Wu Duo, "This deal is a great joy for everyone." ”

Guan Zhiyu nodded slightly, "By the way, your grandfather told you, your, well, should you be called Uncle Cousin, Wu Di?"
