Seeing that Meng Zitao was very interested in his son's toys, Leng Hui was a little excited, thinking to herself, her son's toys can't be a treasure, right? If it's a baby, how much can it be worth!

After a while, Meng Zitao put the tumbler on the table, and seeing that everyone was looking at him intently, he smiled and said: "This tumbler is indeed some years old, I estimate that it should be in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and it may even be used by the prince in the palace at the end of the Qing Dynasty." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The army was a little incredulous when he heard this: "The prince still plays with this thing?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "You don't think it's good now, it was a good thing at that time, ordinary people couldn't afford such things, and there was no place to buy them." ”

Speaking of which, in the late Qing Dynasty, the number of toys in the court once increased dramatically, which was due to the fact that the Tongzhi Emperor who ascended the throne was only 6 years old, and the Guangxu Emperor was only 4 years old.

Although they are the sons of heaven, they are actually still children, and in order to make the little emperor happy, they use all kinds of toys to coax them to become a trick for concubines, eunuchs, and palace maids. As a result, the variety of toys in the palace has increased, and some foreign toys have also been presented.

Leng Hui asked, "Then how much is this toy worth?"

Meng Zitao said: "This, how to say it, this kind of thing is generally collected by museums, few people sell it in the market, and few people collect it, it belongs to the unpopular collection, so I am not sure about the value, but the basic value will not be too expensive, because its material is celluloid." ”

Seeing that everyone didn't understand what "celluloid" was, Meng Zitao explained again.

I heard that this is made of materials for making table tennis balls, Leng Hui is very disappointed, it seems that this thing should indeed not be worth a few dollars.

Meng Zitao then asked, "Sister-in-law, I wonder if you can tell me the origin of this tumbler?"

Leng Hui said: "This is what my mother played with me when I was a child, I have always put it very well, some time ago, I went back to my parents' house and saw it, so I gave it to my son to play." ”

Dajun took over and said: "Her family used to be a big businessman, and the Republic of China only declined. ”

Meng Zitao nodded, and then said: "Although the value of this thing is not high, it is more or less a souvenir, you can go home and put it away, maybe after a while, the value will also increase." Also, it's best not to play with children. ”

Many friends who are familiar with celluloid know that celluloid will emit the smell of camphor, because celluloid contains the substance camphor, such as some table tennis balls, which will smell this smell when you get it in front of you. Because of this, you can tell if it is made with celluloid or not, and you can smell it.

Even if you don't, rub it quickly with your hands to heat up the object, as long as it's made with celluloid, it will smell like camphor. And the vast majority of resins do not have this camphor taste.

Seeing that everyone was still a little confused, Meng Zitao said: "I just said that celluloid contains camphor, which has some effect on children. ”

As soon as she heard this, Leng Hui suddenly became a little anxious, and hurriedly said that she would put away her things when she went home.

As he was talking, Dajun's mother came up with the dishes again, and Dajun's father saw that the time was not early, so he hurriedly invited Meng Zitao into the table and prepared to eat.

Don't look at the dishes on the table are all packed in big bowls, it doesn't look very good, but the craftsmanship of Dajun's mother is really nothing to say, just say that the sesame water bean skin just served is really soft and delicious, and the flavor is unique; the bean curd beef after that is ruddy in color, the meat is rotten and the flavor is strong, and it is fragrant for ten miles; the meat of the mandarin fish in the water is fresh and tender, the taste is pure, and the aftertaste of the food is endless.

Like this, Meng Zitao felt that this meal could even be comparable to Xu Jianwei's restaurant, and he ate to his heart's content.

When he arrived at Dajun's house, of course, drinking was also indispensable, and Dajun's amount of alcohol followed his father, and his father was able to drink more than him, and his face did not change after cup, and his eyes were still very clear, as if he was drinking water.

Of course, Meng Zitao didn't have any pressure on wine, and he could drink wine as water now.

So, after a meal, the three of them drank quite happily, if it weren't for the third aunt of the army coming over, the three of them would have to drink for a while.

Dajun's father put down his chopsticks and asked, "Yueqin, have you eaten?"

"I've already eaten it, and things have been taken care of. Yu Yueqin nodded, and then said: "I really have to thank Junzi and this young man for this matter today, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to recover the money I was cheated of." ”

"Third aunt, don't be so polite, when you encounter this kind of thing, I should do it, and ...... else" Dajun said what happened just now.

Hearing that her son's money might be returned, Yu Yueqin was very excited and expressed her gratitude to Meng Zitao again and again.

At this time, Dajun asked, "Third aunt, have you offended anyone recently?"

"What do you mean?" Yu Yueqin asked a little puzzled why the army would be in the club.

The army said, "Have you ever wondered why those liars know about your situation?"

"Isn't there that walkie-talkie?"

Dajun said: "Then have you ever thought about why they don't look for others and come to you specifically, I remember, Xianghui's sister-in-law in the east seems to believe this more than you, her family is richer than yours, why don't you go to her? Or is she not at home today?"

"How could it be, I just saw her. Yu Yueqin shook her head and said, "But, I haven't offended anyone in normal times, how can anyone do this to me? No, I have to go home and call to ask your third uncle." ”

Yu Yueqin couldn't sit still, and hurriedly got up and went home.

With the idea of helping people to the end, Meng Zitao said: "I'll trouble Brother Zheng again, let him ask someone to ask the liar to see if there are any clues on the liar's side." ”

"Excuse me......"

After a morning in the car, and drank a lot of wine at noon, although it is actually nothing for Meng Zitao, it is a matter of the body, and when it is time to rest, it is necessary to rest well.

So after two o'clock, Mencius and the army took their luggage and came to the army's new residence.

It is said to be a new home, but in fact, the house has been built for two years, and the decoration has been done, which looks good.

Meng Zitao followed the army to the room arranged for him, tidied up and washed up, and lay on the bed to rest for a while. Another good meal in the evening, not to mention.

Early the next morning, Meng Zitao got up early to exercise, and after a while, the army also got up, saying that he was going to run.

The air in the mountains in the morning is still quite fresh, Meng Zitao thought about it, and also ran with the army, and the two chatted while running.

Along the way, the army told Meng Zitao some interesting things, and said that there was an ancient tomb on the hill not far away, but the tombstone was damaged, and the handwriting could not be seen clearly.

As mentioned earlier, in this place of Yingdu, there are many ancient tombs, and it is said that in the next town, there is a place called Seven Stars Catching the Moon.

The name is due to the fact that there are seven large mounds in the same arrangement as the Big Dipper, some say that the seven great generals of ancient times and the swords, guns and halberds that accompany them on the battlefield, and others say that there are many treasures like the stars.

Legends like this are not uncommon in this part of Yingdu, and everyone is used to it, so they are really not interested in such a nameless tomb, and the older generation said that under the ancient tomb, it is likely that the ancestors of the village are buried, so not only no one will fight its idea, but will also protect it.

"Huh!"

When the army talked about the ancient tomb, he sighed lightly, and Mencius followed his gaze and found that a middle-aged man came down from the path, and the path led to the ancient tomb on the top of the hill.

"What's wrong?" Meng Zitao asked in a low voice.

"The man is not from our village, and I haven't seen him before," said the army. ”

When Meng Zitao heard this, he saw that the middle-aged man looked a little sneaky, and after seeing them, he left from the other direction, as if he had done something wrong.

Meng Zitao had some numbers in his heart and asked, "Do you think this person is a Tufuzi?"

"It feels like it. The army replied.

Meng Zitao said: "Then let's go up the mountain first to see, if there are any clues, there is no evidence, even if he is stopped now, he will not admit it." ”

Dajun shook his head slightly: "No, let's go back first, otherwise, it will arouse that guy's vigilance." This kind of person is like a bone gangrene, if you don't beat it to death with a stick, it will be endless, as the old saying goes, only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. ”

Meng Zitao felt that what the army said was right, so the two ran forward for a while before returning.

In the process, Meng Zitao felt a little, as if a pair of eyes had been staring at him, until he returned and ran for a while, some distance from the hill, and this feeling was finally news.

From this point of view, it is indeed possible that the other party has been paying attention to himself and the army, and if he follows the plan he just made, he may have already been startled.

To do enough play, Meng Zitao and they simply went home for breakfast, and then went to the hill, during which they tacitly did not mention this matter, because talking about it at this time could not achieve good results.

Seeing the hill from afar, Meng Zitao paid attention to the surroundings and found that the figure of the person just now had disappeared.

Seeing this, the two of them were relieved to follow the path and walk to the top of the hill.

Because of the lower part of the hill, there are villagers planting some crops, so the path is not deserted, but the more you go to the top, there are more weeds on the path, but the shape of the road can still be seen, mainly because during the holiday, children will come here to play and get some game.

However, when we reached the top of the hill, there were almost no people coming here because of the ancient tombs, and the path was no longer visible, and the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds...... (To be continued.) )
