Chapter 453: The Dharani Sutra
Liu Jiachang put down the birdcage, turned around and walked out.
As was customary, he would wander to the teahouse and talk nonsense with his old friends, but he seemed to be in a hurry today.
Liu Jiachang did not walk along the previous path, but changed the road, he made a few turns, and walked to a private house not far from the community, he buckled the door, three short and one long.
Soon, the door opened, Liu Jiachang glanced to the side a few times, and when he saw that there was no one behind him, he walked in.
It was Lao Zheng Tou who opened the door, and it was the ticket holder who sang and listened to the play with him, and this time the two came back and forth!
Lao Zheng Tou looked at Liu Jiachang's sneaky appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, there are no outsiders!"
Liu Jiachang shook his head, "I'm not afraid of outsiders, but I'm afraid that my son will come!"
Old Zheng Tou laughed, "You were afraid of your son!"
Liu Jiachang was a little annoyed, "Who said I was afraid of him? I hurt him, if I didn't love him, he would have achieved what he has now?"
Lao Zheng Tou didn't say anything more, but pulled Liu Jiachang and walked in, "Let's be here today, there are really a lot of good things here!"
"What can it be?" Liu Jiachang didn't seem to care very much.
"Emerald Buddha, Ruby Buddha, and a Dhara Sutra quilt!" said Lao Zheng Tou, lowering his voice.
Liu Jiachang was a little shocked, he had only heard of these objects, and he also knew that there was a Dhara Sutra quilt in Cixi's tomb back then, but he hadn't seen it yet!
However, Liu Jiachang immediately raised his vigilance again, if this kind of good thing is really passed down, how can the other party find the two of them to buy it? You must know that there are not a few rich people who want to buy a Dhara Sutra quilt!
Liu Jiachang followed behind Lao Zheng Tou with a vigilant mind, and the two walked into the room!
It was a bungalow, somewhat shabby, and there was not much furniture in the house, except for a tall old-fashioned square table, next to which a few chairs were placed, and a middle-aged man in his forties sat on the chair, leaning back in the chair, one hand on the square table, and tapping lightly on the tabletop.
Seeing Liu Jiachang and the two coming in, the middle-aged man's squinted eyes opened slightly, and he stood up, "Two old gentlemen, things are ready, please take a look!"
Liu Jiachang glanced at the middle-aged man, the other party's eyes were very small, as if he couldn't open them, this person's name was Sun Cairen, and he was known as Sun Dianying's grandson!
Liu Jiachang looked at the square table again, and there were a few things on it, which were exactly what Lao Zheng Tou said just now!
Old Zheng didn't pay any attention, he walked straight over, staring at the objects on the table and drooling!
Sun Cairen said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, you also know that although my grandfather Sun Dianying has a bad reputation, his character is still good, in order to escape for his life, he sacrificed all the Nine Dragon Swords, those top good things were sacrificed, and they were almost sold, and there are very few left!"
Lao Zheng Tou stared at the Dharani Sutra quilt, "This is a good thing, the bright yellow satin bottom, the quilt is woven with Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues, pagodas, and patterns, which has both the sacredness of Buddhism and the majesty of the royal family!
Liu Jiachang glanced at it, "What is this?"
In the Qing Dynasty, only the emperor and concubines above the noble concubine could use it!" Sun Cairen said.
Liu Jiachang looked at the Dharani Sutra, but he didn't know what to do for a while, he was still a little worse at the identification of cultural relics.
Sun Cairen seemed to see Liu Jiachang's hesitation, and actually took out a thread-bound book, he shook the thread-bound book, and explained: "This book is called 'Notes on Ai Yuexuan', do you know who wrote this book? This is Li Lianying's dictation, and his nephew wrote it down! It records many details of Cixi's life, and even Cixi's burial!"
After that, Sun Cairen put the thread-bound book on the table, "Just look through it, you will know, this book records those things!"
Lao Zheng Tou didn't care much, but Liu Jiachang was surprised, because he still clearly remembered that he had asked Yang Bo before, and Yang Bo also told him at that time that he could consult this book!
Liu Jiachang picked up the book and flipped through it!
Lao Zheng Tou glanced at it, "Lao Liu, you still turn that one, even if it is recorded, it won't have much effect!"
Liu Jiachang ignored it, and soon flipped to the page of the record, and he really saw six taels of jade Buddha, three taels of rubies inlaid with Buddha, and three Dharani Sutras, these records are a little vague, but they are enough to make Liu Jiachang excited!
It could be true!
Liu Jiachang stared at the objects on the square table, and asked Sun Cairen quietly: "Boss Sun, I'm curious, where did your grandfather hide things in the first place?
Sun Cairen was full of smiles, he stared at Liu Jiachang, "Mr. Liu, how can I say these words?"
Liu Jiachang tried it, and he was even more relieved, if the other party lied to the two of them, maybe he would just say a random location!
Liu Jiachang turned around and picked up the jade Buddha and looked at it carefully, although this jade Buddha has been separated by hundreds of years, it is still crystal clear, the carving is also delicate and vivid, the jade Buddha has a full face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and looks lifelike!
The Dharani Sutra is even more extraordinary, made of white silk, printed with Tibetan Buddhist scriptures, and the words are golden.
When Liu Jiachang saw this, he wanted to buy it.
Lao Zheng Tou was a step faster, "What is the price of the Jade Buddha? What is the price of the Ruby Buddha?
"The Jade Buddha is priced at 8 million, the Ruby Buddha is 5 million, and the Dharani Sutra is 30 million!"
Old Zheng Tou was taken aback, "It's so expensive!"
Sun Cairen shook his head, "It's not high, these are priceless and marketable, you can't buy them if you want to buy them outside! It's like a dharani scripture quilt, can you have it outside? If it weren't for wanting to sell as soon as possible, I wouldn't have opened such a low price!"
Liu Jiachang hesitated a little, he turned to Lao Zhengtou, "Let's sum up!"
Lao Zheng nodded, and the two walked into the courtyard.
"The price is too high!" Liu Jiachang said.
Lao Zheng Tou also nodded, "Why don't we buy one together?"
Liu Jiachang was stunned for a moment, "Which one to buy?"
Liu Jiachang made up his mind that he would not buy a dharani sutra quilt because it was too expensive!
"Dharani Sutra, let's cut the price to 10 million and buy it together!" said Lao Zhengtou.
Liu Jiachang hesitated all of a sudden, the price of 30 million just now really scared him, but if it was 10 million, he could indeed consider it!
