He Wanyi looked at Xiaoyun a little strangely and asked, "Didn't your Uncle Jiang tell you this rule?"

Xiaoyun shook his head: "If you don't want to go to the antique street, Uncle Jiang, I won't go much, and I'm not very interested in antiques, even if he said it, I would have gone in the left ear and out in the back ear, and I would have forgotten it all a long time ago." ”

He Wanyi smiled: "Your forgetfulness is really big enough." ”

Meng Zitao also smiled, and then carefully looked at the things in his hand.

It is a bronze vessel in the shape of a deer, with its head raised forward, its front legs curled up at its sides, and its hind legs hidden underneath. The overall production technique of the deer shape is freehand, the lines are depicted concise and bright, and symbolize the high-ranking officials and the Houlu, implying auspiciousness. Moreover, there is also wrong silver on the body of the deer, the craftsmanship is complicated, and the grade is extremely high.

Meng Zitao originally thought that this was just a fake, but he didn't expect that the thing was real, which surprised him, but when he saw the very clear unearthed traces on the bronze, he understood it again.

After waiting for a while, Xiaoyun couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, is the thing real?"

Meng Zitao nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed a genuine product." ”

Hearing this, Gong Yinghua breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his face also showed a hint of triumph.

Xiaoyun asked again, "Then how much is this thing worth?"

Meng Zitao said, "Do you know what this is?"

"Bronze, what else could it be?" Xiao Yun said in surprise.

Meng Zitao was a little speechless and said, "This is Xizhen. ”

"Xi Zhen?" He Wanyi immediately reacted: "This is used to press the mat?"

"Yes. ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Before the Wei and Jin dynasties, the ancients sat on the ground, that is, on the straw mat spread on the ground. The royal family's house is equipped with low beds. Spread a mat on top. In order to avoid affecting the appearance due to the folding of the corners and the attachment of clothes when getting up and sitting, the four corners of the mat were pressed with heavy objects. This is the so-called Xi Town. ”

"Generally speaking, Xizhen has tigers, turtles, deer, sheep, etc. The ancients regarded them as animals that eliminate evil and bring good fortune. And this deer-shaped seat, if I'm not mistaken, should be made in the Han Dynasty. ”

Xiaoyun's eyes lit up: "Han Dynasty, how much is it worth?"

Meng Zitao said: "Since you are a single person, normally speaking, this quality can be worth seventy or eighty thousand." However, if you are a newly unearthed thing, the price is not easy to say. If you want to deal with it, it's best to leave it to Shopkeeper Jiang. ”

Xiaoyun was quite happy. Seeing Meng Zitao say this, she asked with some concern: "Is the problem of the unearthed things big?"

Meng Zitao said: "Of course, if it is not discovered by the official, of course, it is not big, but well, I suggest that you should try to be as careful as possible, and it is best to act as soon as possible." ”

Gong Yinghua was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said: "I heard that there are a lot of such unearthed things on the market, and I haven't heard that anyone has been arrested because of this." ”

At this time, his eyes were full of disdain, and he was clearly saying that Meng Zitao was alarmist.

Meng Zitao said: "I said it. It's okay if you don't find out. As for you saying that no one has been arrested, just look at the news on the Internet. Besides, you should have bought this thing from the 'followers', right?"

"What kind of fart?" Xiao Yun asked in surprise.

Meng Zitao explained the meaning of "with a fart" and said, "Generally speaking. Most of the farts are liars, selling fake goods, and this time I actually sold you a ghost thing. So I'm telling you to be careful. ”

Gong Yinghua retorted: "You don't know the person who sold us just now, how do you know that he is the 'follower' in your mouth?"

saw Gong Yinghua looking like a rooster ready to fight. Meng Zitao didn't want to deal with him, but He Wanyi was involved. He still endured it, and said lightly: "What if I said that he followed me yesterday?"

Xiao Yun pulled the corner of Gong Yinghua's clothes and said, "Okay, Shopkeeper Meng is also for our good, why don't we go to Uncle Jiang together?"

Gong Yinghua glanced at Meng Zitao with some unhappiness, and then agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you." But let's eat first. ”

"Okay. Xiao Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Shopkeeper Meng, have you eaten?"

"You're welcome, I've eaten it. Meng Zitao smiled, took out his business card from his pocket, and handed it over: "This is my business card, if you need my help with related questions in the future, you can call me." ”

"Must ......"

Meng Zitao watched the three of them leave, and he was very happy, although he didn't have the courage to ask for He Wanyi's mobile phone number just now, but at least his business card was sent out, and He Wanyi didn't look like he hated himself.

Thinking that it might not be long before he could know He Baoyue's recent situation, Meng Zitao was in a good mood, and began to wander around humming a little song.

This time, Meng Zitao changed direction and visited more than a dozen shops before he walked to the front of Jiang Lexian's antique shop. Just as he was about to say hello to Jiang Lexian, he saw Jiang Lexian rushing out of the store in a hurry.

Meng Zitao asked a little strangely, "Shopkeeper Jiang, is there something wrong with you?"

Jiang Lexian paused and said hurriedly: "Xiaoyun, they were arrested for buying unearthed cultural relics. ”

"What! how can it be so fast?"

It was only a little more than an hour later, and they were actually arrested, and Meng Zitao was shocked when he heard the news.

Jiang Lexian was originally going to leave immediately, but when he saw Meng Zitao say this, he was also very surprised, and asked, "Shopkeeper Meng, do you know about them?"

Meng Zitao said what happened just now: "They said that they would come to you after dinner, but I didn't expect that after such a while, something happened to you, it wouldn't be fishing, right?"

This fact is so coincidental that Meng Zitao can't help but think about it.

Jiang Lexian also felt that things were too coincidental, so he took out his mobile phone and made a call, and after that, he smiled bitterly: "This thing is really a coincidence, that 'follower' has been stared at for a long time, and he is scheduled to be arrested today, but I didn't expect the three of them to collide headlong." ”

Meng Zitao was speechless and said: "This thing is really unlucky. ”

"Not really. Jiang Lexian sighed and said, "Xiaoyun's father is still waiting, I'll go over first." ”

Meng Zitao hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Jiang, can I go with me?"

Jiang Lexian knew what Meng Zitao thought, and immediately agreed: "Okay, but if you go, maybe I will trouble you to be a witness." ”

"No problem......"

The road was not far, and it didn't take ten minutes to walk, Jiang Lexian and Meng Zitao met Xiaoyun's father, Zeng Yushi.

Jiang Lexian asked: "Lao Zeng, what's the situation now? Xiaoyun and they just bought the unearthed cultural relics unintentionally, and at most they will be fined a little money, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Zeng Yushi smiled bitterly: "It's because of the amount of fines, so it's unclear now." ”

Jiang Lexian said: "Why? They invited experts to come over so quickly, and they also issued an appraisal certificate?"

Zeng Yushi said helplessly: "I don't know if the expert has come, now the problem is, it is said that the fine will be five times greater, but as soon as the kid heard this, he immediately changed his words, saying that the thing was bought by them together, and the fine must be paid by everyone together." ”

The law states that in this case, two to five times the fine can be handled.

Jiang Lexian frowned: "Why are there so many? However, that grandson is too irresponsible, right?"

"This side said that they knew that it was an unearthed cultural relic before they bought it, and it was a violation of the law, so they were fined five times. ”

Zeng Yushi continued: "Actually, if he regrets it if he has more money, it's nothing. But Xiaoyun said that it was the kid who paid the money at that time, and they didn't have the idea of sharing it equally. Besides, it cost less than 800 to buy that thing, and generally speaking, it would be terrible to be able to multiply it tenfold, how could Xiaoyun take advantage of him?"

Jiang Lexian said: "In this case, why is he embarrassed to say this?"

Zeng Yushi said: "That kid said that he said that the money he earned would be divided equally, but Xiaoyun said that he only said it in a joking tone at that time, and besides, it was he who paid the money, how could they take it seriously? ”

Jiang Lexian shook his head: "So, you can't just look at people by their appearance! I'll go find someone to inquire, at least I have to lower the fine, otherwise it will be too much of a loss to give 400,000 yuan." ”

"What 400,000, Lao Jiang, do you know how much that thing is?" Zeng Yushi said in surprise.

"That's the case......" Mencius said the matter.

"It's such a coincidence, it can't be that. Zeng Yushi also thought about this.

Jiang Lexian shook his head: "I asked someone to inquire, but they just happened to hit the muzzle." Okay, I'll talk about this later, I'll go find someone first. ”

"Why don't I go with me?"

"No, just wait here......"

After a while, Jiang Lexian walked back again, but judging from his expression, this matter was not very optimistic.

Zeng Yushi hurriedly asked, "Old Jiang, what do you say over there?"

Jiang Lexian said helplessly: "There is a new leader here, and it is difficult to speak. ”

Zeng Yushi said: "Then what should I do, I can really only pay more than 100,000 yuan?"

It's not that he can't get hundreds of thousands, but because of this kind of thing, he is too depressed.

"I'll call again......"

Jiang Lexian made several phone calls in a row, and finally said helplessly: "This new leader is not on the same line as my friend, and he can't speak." Why don't I ask my friends to find someone else?"

Zeng Yushi waved his hand: "Lao Jiang, don't worry, these days, it's not easy to repay the debt of favors, hundreds of thousands are hundreds of thousands." ”

Jiang Lexian said: "If it's just Xiaoyun, it's okay for you to do this, but what about Xiaoyun's classmate? ”

"This ......" Zeng Yushi hesitated for a moment, and scolded angrily: "This dead girl, it's good, don't you just accompany Xue to visit the scenic spot, what are you doing here on the antique street? )
