"Why didn't you say it earlier, if we knew that you had so many good things, we wouldn't have to go to the antique market to sweep the goods. ”

Although Old Man Zhang knew that Zhong Lin had great skills, he must not believe it when he said "crossing". Zhong Lin didn't want to tell the origin of these things, there must be a reason, so Old Man Zhang didn't ask about it.

"This pottery is good, it looks like an old object, and the most important thing is that it is certainly not an unearthed cultural relic, but a natural hand-me-down, you see, it has traces left by the years. The most commendable thing is that there are text symbols similar to oracle bone inscriptions on this pottery, which is very historical and cultural value, and this kind of cultural relics with both history and cultural heritage have always been respected by the antique industry. There is also this silk handkerchief woven with colorful silk, in fact, what is this, I can't say, anyway, it looks very special. Its color is natural at a glance, although it is not as bright as modern chemical pigments, but there is a natural beauty, I think even if we go to D province, and even all the antique markets in the whole of China, we can't find one. Both of these things can be used as treasures in the town. As for the rest of the ......"

Old Man Zhang said, looking at Zhong Lin with a smile.

Zhong Lin naturally understood what Old Man Zhang was thinking, so he said: "Since this is the case, then leave these two things as the treasures of the town store, and I'll put the rest away first." In addition, these are gifts from others, and I can't just sell them, so be sure to write the words 'not for sale'. ”

Zhong Lin was smart, and he pretended to be confused, but in a blink of an eye, only the pottery and colorful silk handkerchief were left on the table.

"Not only will they write the words 'not for sale', but they will also be packed in a special glass case. This work will be done tomorrow, so please do it. ”

Old man Zhang was a little disappointed when he saw that his "careful opportunity" failed to succeed. At the same time, I regretted a little: Why don't you pick a few more pieces? Who said that there can only be one or two treasures in the town? But there is no place to buy regret medicine. But after thinking about it, I was still a little lucky, fortunately he picked two pieces just now, not one!

After everything was cleaned up, it was late in the evening. People who are engaged in the profession of 8 to 5 in the morning have already left work, but for the antique industry, another peak of customer flow has just begun, because buying antiques, calligraphy and painting is not like buying ordinary goods, it takes a little time to observe and study. Therefore, many people go to the antique store to appreciate, play or buy antiques when they pass by after work or take a walk after dinner.

Because she knew this feature, even if she had no business a few days ago, Zhong Lingyue still insisted on getting off work until about 9 o'clock in the evening. However, the rhythm of commuting is somewhat similar to when I opened an employment agency before.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Zong Qiang proposed to invite everyone to go to the hottest restaurant nearby to eat. This is good, originally he was invited by Zhong Lin to help, but now he wants to invite everyone to dinner, Zhong Lin naturally will not agree. However, Zong Qiang insisted again and again, and winked desperately at Zhong Lin, and secretly pointed at Du Lan.

This time, Zhong Lin had an explosive emotional intelligence, and he understood what Zong Qiang meant in seconds, so he no longer insisted.

"Go eat, it's time to get a master, I have to keep watch in the store, I'm not hungry anyway. ”

Zhong Lingyue had already seen what Zong Qiang meant, but what she said was also the truth, and she just fulfilled Zong Qiang by the way.

Zhong Lingyue and Du Lan are sisters, as early as when Zhong Lingyue saw that Zong Qiang was interested in Du Lan and wanted to chase Du Lan, Zhong Lingyue had already asked Zhong Lin about Zong Qiang's situation. Knowing that he has no bad habits, and attaches great importance to love and righteousness, the most important thing is that he is an out-and-out diamond king, so he intends to complete Zong Qiang and Du Lan and create conditions for them, after all, if Du Lan and Zong Qiang really become a couple, it will also be a good marriage.

"I'm not going either, I have something to tell my little aunt. ”

Zhong Lin also casually made an excuse.

"I'm so old that I can't eat anything, so go for you young people. ”

Although Mr. Zhang has never been married in his life, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand human feelings, and he understands when he looks at this posture.

"Then I'm ......"

As soon as Du Lan was about to speak, he heard Zhong Lingyue preemptively say: "Xiaolan, then you have full authority to go on our behalf, don't forget to pack some delicious food for me and bring it back." ”

"I ......"

"Yes, go, go, don't forget to pack for us, I guess when you come back, we happen to be hungry too." ”

Zhong Lin also said on the side.

Duran wanted to say that he couldn't go twice, but he was robbed, and he had no choice but to agree, after all, there was still a task of "packing".

When he went out, Zong Qiang made an "OK" gesture behind him, and then left in a hurry.

"Lin Zi, you brother is reliable, right? you can't let my good sister suffer!"

Zhong Lingyue smiled and confirmed to Zhong Lin again.

Don't look at him as if he is a little flamboyant now, in fact, he is usually stable, it is estimated that he has met true love, and he has such abnormal behavior. Plus, I'm sure he'll be very single-minded when it comes to relationships. Zhong Lin almost patted his chest and packed the ticket.

"I don't dare to say anything else, if you don't say it, I believe it, just look at how safe he looks, and it is estimated that it will be difficult not to be single-minded. ”

Zhong Lingyue said and looked at Zhong Lin, and then said: "If it is very handsome, it may be, as the so-called 'tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop'." ”

What does it mean that "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop"? Zhong Lingyue's words were obviously a side knock and said Zhong Lin! Zhong Lin could hear this sound even if he was wooden, so his face was immediately covered with black lines.

In the past few days since Zhong Lin came back, only on the day in Beiwangzhuang Village, he has been stuck by Luo Xiaoman. After returning to Southeast City, Luo Xiaoman began to prepare for her graduation thesis. Until now, Zhong Lin didn't know how to explain the matter between him and Luo Xiaoman to his little aunt, maybe there was still a trace of concern in his heart? he knew that he shouldn't be like that, but why he was still worried, even he couldn't tell himself.

"Come, come, come, Moon girl, Zhong Lin, you two come over for tea. You young people have to learn to make tea, especially the moon girl, a lot of antique business is negotiated in making tea. ”

is the so-called love house and Wu, Mr. Zhang admires Zhong Lin very much, and has already admired it to the point of worship, so he also likes Zhong Lingyue very much, and usually calls her a girl in the moon. At the same time, Mr. Zhang's words also broke the short silence.

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

Zhong Lingyue and Zhong Lin agreed to sit down at the same time.

"Do you know why this antique is so popular and so valuable?" asked Old Man Zhang as he made tea.

"Antiques, because they have been circulating for a long time. ”

Zhong Lingyue said with a smile.

"It's not just a matter of time, it's also that they pass on a culture and record a historical ......"

When Old Man Zhang said this, he picked up a cup of tea and put it in front of Zhong Lin, and when he looked up at Zhong Lin, he just saw Zhong Lin frowning.

"Zhong Lin, you ......"

Old Man Zhang knew that Zhong Lin had something on his mind.

"There's someone out there, and they've been sneaking around the door several times!"

Zhong Lin stood up as he spoke, and at this moment, a person walked in from outside.

The man looked like he was in his early thirties, with a public face, a tank top, shorts, and a pair of pull-back sneakers on his feet. Holding a snakeskin bag in his hand, his eyes wandered as he looked at Zhong Lin and the other three.

"Hello, please take a look. ”

Zhong Lingyue saw that a guest had come in, so she also stood up and greeted warmly.

"No, no, I'm not...... , that ......"

The look of the person who came was a little strange, and there were some words that did not match the words.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

When Zhong Lin saw the appearance of the person coming, he knew that he was definitely not here to buy antiques, and it was he who was walking around the door just now.

"I ...... I'm not here to buy something, I'm here to sell something. ”

The man hesitated, but eventually spoke his intentions.

"Sell something, sell what?"

At this time, Old Man Zhang got up from his seat, looked the person up and down, and finally his eyes fell on the snakeskin bag in his hand. Mr. Zhang has basically guessed in his heart, and generally those who come here are either "guerrillas", or "draggers" or "planers".

The so-called "guerrillas" are specialized in going to the countryside to receive goods, and then selling them to various stores and collectors. The "guerrillas" are generally experienced and able to speak well, and it is obvious that the person in front of them does not have that ability. And "tower" refers to a person who is engaged in antique smuggling, engaged in illegal business, and this person does not seem to have the guts. There are two kinds of "planing", one is called "touching the gold school captain" if it sounds good, and the tomb robber is the one who says it is bad; the other is when he stumbles upon an antique when he is breaking ground, and he does not hand it in, thinking that he will sell it privately to make some money to spend.

Judging from the person's expression and demeanor, most of them are "planing", and they are the latter of "planing".

The man grabbed the snakeskin bag in his hand tighter and said, "I have something here, you can see if you can accept it." ”

Sure enough, Mr. Zhang guessed correctly.

In this case, Zhong Lin and Zhong Lingyue didn't know how to deal with it, so they looked at Old Man Zhang at the same time.

Old Man Zhang walked up to the visitor with a smile and said, "Ancestral or ......?"

"Ancestor, ancestral ......"

The man was getting more and more nervous.

"Oh, it's okay, let's take it out and have a look. ”

Old Man Zhang didn't continue to ask, if he got to the bottom of it, he would definitely scare that person away.

Sure enough, when the man saw that Old Man Zhang didn't continue to ask, he suddenly calmed down a lot, looked at the snakeskin bag in his hand, and then raised his eyes to look at the Eight Immortals table placed in the center of the room.

Old man Zhang will understand immediately.

"Moon Girl ......"

Zhong Lingyue reached out and took out a red velvet cloth from under the table and spread it on the table of the Eight Immortals......
