Chapter 701: Abacus

"In other words, this name was given by the old man Kong you said?" Yu Yao asked in a raised voice.

"It's not that Lao Kong came up with it out of thin air, in fact, Lao Kong just reminded your dad that your grandfather originally had an abacus, which was engraved with the word Gegu Zhai, and your dad was a wooden life, and this grid character happened to be next to a wooden word······

"Wait, Grandpa Hou!" Yu Yao had to interrupt again, "Why have I never seen my grandfather's abacus?"

"Your dad won't mention it to you, because he lost it when he was in school, and he ate your grandfather's butt board. ”

"Lost?"

"That's right. But I haven't seen it, Lao Kong has seen it, and said that the abacus has been around for many years, like an old object of the Republic of China, ebony wrapped in copper, and it is quite exquisite. I guess this old Kong is so attentive, eighty percent of them are interested in this abacus, but your grandfather probably also cherishes it, so ah, your father lost it, he will beat your father, your grandfather is actually very good-tempered······"

Old Man Hou is easy to talk away, and Yu Yao can only interject.

The two talked for more than half an hour, and in the end it was because Mr. Hou's mobile phone was out of battery.

hung up the phone, and Yu Yao also roughly figured it out. However, this abacus must not be seen, and Lao Kong, who knew about this matter, also passed away the year before last.

The Yu family is the ancestral home of Jiangzhou for generations, at least Yu Yao's great-grandfather is from Jiangzhou, from Yu Yao's grandfather to Yu Yao, three generations are passed down.

Supposedly, in previous days, this was a bit of a perverse figure. However, when Yu Yao's grandmother gave birth to Yu Yao's grandfather, she was born prematurely and had a difficult birth, and she could not have children after that. And Yu Yao's grandmother fell seriously ill when Yu Yao's father was two years old, leaving the root of the illness and not having any more children.

However, none of this seems to have anything to do with it.

Although Yu Yao's grandfather also liked old gadgets, he worked in the Forestry Bureau until his retirement, and he was an ordinary Jiangzhou native.

This is also the reason why Yu Yao has experienced many things, understood many doubts, and even found out that he looked a little similar to Xu Taiyan's sister, and he didn't believe that he would have anything to do with Xu Taiyan and Xu Changan.

This so-called abacus engraved with "Gegu Zhai", Yu Yao's grandfather and Yu Yao's father never mentioned it to Yu Yao.

From the analysis of the information learned, this abacus seems to be an old object of Gegu Zhai during the Republic of China.

However, this is not necessarily the Gegu Zhai opened by Xu Taiyan; because the names of antique shops, many of them have the word "ancient", and "Gegu" is widely known because of the famous appraisal book "Gegu Yao" in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, "Tonggu", "Jiangu", "Pangu" and so on are also more commonly used.

During the Republic of China period in Jiangzhou, there was no well-known antique shop called Gegu Zhai, which is very easy to check. However, there are some unknown ones, and there are also those from other places, but it's hard to say, and this can't be checked.

If this lettering abacus has nothing to do with Yanjing's Gegu Zhai, then the biggest possibility is that Yu Yao's grandfather inadvertently bought or got, maybe the materials and workmanship are better, so they are more cherished.

If you look at it this way, Jiangzhou Gegu Zhai and Yanjing Gegu Zhai during the Republic of China period are still a coincidence.

However, another abacus came out of thin air, which still made Yu Yao think about it.

Yu Yao made a few more calls, but there were no more clues.

When Yu Yao was on the phone, he smoked a lot. Then he opened the window, looked out the window, and suddenly had an urge to jump off. This is not a suicidal impulse, but an impulse to break through the mystery with all its might.

The appearance of this ancient gathering made Yu Yao feel even more confused in front of him.

He also had an urge to meet the president of the Ancient Guild immediately, how much did this president know about the Ghost Eye Gate and the Big Palm Eye?

Impulses are impulses, and reality is reality.

Yu Yao stood in front of the window for half an hour, and finally calmed down.

Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and things should be taken step by step.

As soon as he turned around and sat down, the doorbell rang, it was Xiao Ying.

"Wow, this smell of smoke, don't you have time to check the rental information?" Xiao Ying smiled and sat down.

"Another abacus came out. Yu Yao said.

"Abacus?"

"Hmm. Yu Yao then told him what he had heard.

"If you want to talk about the ghost eye door, our family has passed it on by word of mouth, but Gegu Zhai, who has a big palm, really doesn't say much. Xiao Ying tilted her head, "However, it is normal for an antique shop to engrave its name on the objects used in its own shop, especially abacus, wooden boxes and so on." ”

"The problem is that during the Republic of China, all parts of the country may not be such a Gegu Zhai as Yanjing, especially some obscure shops. ”

"If it were an obscure shop, I'm afraid it wouldn't do that, right?"

"As far as I know, my grandfather never came to Yanjing during his lifetime. ”

"Hey, you say, is it possible that the big palm eye was left in Jiangzhou back then? After all, he had been to Jiangzhou back then!" Xiao Ying said again.

"When I came here, I wasn't my grandfather, and my grandfather was only a teenager. ”

"I didn't mean that. I mean, if the big palm eye lost the abacus in Jiangzhou back then, and then inadvertently let your grandfather get it. ”

"This ······ However, even if this is the case, then Jiangzhou Gegu Zhai and Yanjing Gegu Zhai, it is also a coincidence. Yu Yao thought about it again, "And it's not right, it's not right, it's a big palm, it's to deal with the matter of Tai Tu Fang Ding, what are you doing with an abacus?"

"I just want to think outside the box. Xiao Ying hooked her hand at Yu Yao, "Give me a cigarette too." ”

"You're starting to go berth, too. Yu Yao couldn't help but smile.

"If it weren't for the lost abacus of the big palm, then later, after Xu Chang'an disappeared from Hankou, is it possible that he once wandered to Jiangzhou and left an abacus?"

"Impossible!" Yu Yao shook his head, "You divergent thinking, you have forgotten the factual basis of what you have learned. Xu Changan even lost the jade pendant he was wearing at that time, how could he still have such a big abacus?"

"Okay, you haven't gotten sick yet. Xiao Ying bowed slightly, "So, the best explanation now is a coincidence." For example, it is the abacus of other Gegu Zhai, or, even if it is Gegu Zhai who was the big palm eye back then, it may be that after the disappearance of the big palm eye, the things in the store were bought and sold to Jiangzhou, after all, there was a transition of several decades. To know the truth······"

"I now think that this president of the Ancient Society is ······" Yu Yao interface.

"Even if he knew, you wouldn't see him until you found the Vault. ”

Yu Yao nodded, "If it weren't for the fact that all the heirs had already gathered, I would even suspect that this Ancient Gathering would be a continuation of the Ghost Eye Sect back then." ”
