Lao Guo seemed to recognize me, and hurriedly got up to greet me: "Oh, the world is really small, I didn't expect to meet again, could it be that the two of you are Boss Guo and Mr. Zhang Meng?"

Zhang Meng was confused next to him: "Are you Boss Zhang?

"That's right", I said, "This is what we are looking for" "Lao Guo", why is it so coincidental?"

Boss Zhang said: "Gentlemen, if we can meet again, it means that the fate is not shallow, you don't know, now the business is not good, and there are only two or three of us left in Panjiayuan to do secondary wholesale, and there is no coincidence in saying that it is not coincidental." Pen %fun %Ge www.biquge.info tell you the truth, my real surname is Zhang, at that time I said that the surname Guo is close to you, businessmen, often use some small tricks, you must not take it to heart. ”

Zhang Meng then understood, and replied: "The world is indeed very small, the mountains do not turn around, "Lao Guo", no, Boss Zhang, we are looking for you so hard." By the way, is your real surname Zhang? What a coincidence, my surname is also Zhang, not to get close to me, right?"

I said in my heart next to me: "Zhang Meng's mouth is really unforgiving." ”

Boss Zhang smiled bitterly after listening: "Mr. Zhang Meng is smiling, come, sit down and talk slowly." ”

After taking a seat, Boss Zhang asked for a pot of good Yunfeng Maojian, ordered a few dim sum dried fruits, and personally poured us tea, saying: "Two, don't take the previous incident to heart, it is indeed for a reason, I don't want to deliberately deceive you, I will replace the wine with tea, and accompany the two of you." ”

I see that Boss Zhang treats each other with sincerity, and the Jade Buddha thing should actually be that I took a big advantage, the owner of the antique shop wants to spend 300,000 yuan to collect that thing, and at that time, "Lao Guo" only took more than 200 yuan from me, I don't know what he means by saying that he didn't deliberately lie to me? Does it mean that when he sold the Jade Buddha, he said that his surname was Guo, and I was from my own family?

"Wu Yue Legacy" teahouse every afternoon at half past two will begin to have a quyi performance, at this time the people in the teahouse gradually increased, the teahouse in front of the platform on the stand drum, a performer said hello to everyone and began to perform the Beijing rhyme drum "Sword Pavilion Ringing": Ma Wei slope under the grass is green, today there is still a concubine mausoleum, there are poems on the wall are hateful, no guests into the shrine are not hurt. Thousands of miles to the west, He Lao sighed and heard the bell on a rainy night. Yang Guifei was fragrant under the pear blossom tree, and Cen Yuanli led the soldiers to protect the ...... The singing is Beijing rhyme, the words are correct and round, and the tea guests present can hear the cheers constantly.

Zhang Meng also seemed to be fascinated by it, and he didn't know whether he really understood it or not, so he hummed along.

I didn't have the heart to appreciate it, and said to Boss Zhang straightforwardly: "Boss Zhang, I'll talk about the purchase later, in fact, I've been looking for you for a long time, and I have a lot of confusion about the Jade Buddha, I don't know if you can tell me sincerely?"

"Look at what you said, we will be friends in the future, and we will get along more in the future, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask, I will know everything. By the way, you can call me Lao Zhang in the future, and my friends in the circle will call me that", and handed me a business card.

I took the business card and saw that it was printed with "Beijing Yongxin Hengtong Trading Co., Ltd., General Manager: Zhang Changgui".

"Okay, then I won't be out of sight", I said, "First of all, I don't understand what do you mean when you say that you lied to me and didn't want to go? Just mean that when you sold me the Jade Buddha, you said that your surname was Guo, is it my own family? Also, you only took me a deposit of 200 yuan at that time, and I waited for you to give you the balance in the old place a few days later, why didn't you show up again?"

I asked several questions in one breath, and Lao Zhang took a sip of tea and said: "Gentlemen, I see that you are really a sincere person, and you don't tell lies in front of real people, I really can't help you in this matter, it's not very authentic." At first glance, you are new to this industry, this jade Buddha is indeed an old object, but do you know what kind of jade this jade Buddha is?"

Zhang Meng was sipping melon seeds, pretending to be an expert and pretending to listen to the Jingyun drum with relish, and after hearing our conversation, he also became interested, and leaned over and interjected and asked, "What jade?"

Lao Zhang said: "The jade of this jade Buddha is called "wounded jade", also called "mourning jade", which is a kind of ominous jade. People divide good and evil, jade also divides auspicious disasters, it is said that auspicious jade can protect the master into good fortune, and in distress into auspicious, and this kind of injury jade is the opposite, it will only bring disaster to the owner. The auspicious disaster of jade is not divided according to the origin and quality of jade, but according to the experience of jade, just like people, as the so-called "the beginning of people, nature is good", jade is also peaceful at the beginning, but with the experience of some bloody disasters or the unfortunate experience of the master, this peace will gradually transform into resentment, and the peaceful atmosphere will disappear, and it will be transformed into ominous jade. ”

Lao Zhang took a sip of tea, and continued: "It is rumored that the most famous piece of jade in history is the heirloom jade seal "Heshi Bi" , its discoverer Bian He lost his feet because of it, and later spread to the Warring States period of Zhao, Zhao was then destroyed by Qin, Qin Shi Huang got the and the Bi, but the Qin Dynasty soon perished, to the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, Dong Zhuo made a rebellion, and the Bi was accidentally obtained by Sun Jian, and then Yuan Shu used Sun Jian's wife to threaten Sun Jian to hand over the Bi, but soon Yuan Shu also died, and then the Bi fell into the hands of Emperor Xian of Han, and then Cao Pi usurped power to avoid Emperor Xian of Han abdication, and the Han Dynasty perished, and the Wei State of Wei who got the Bi of the He's was also usurped by Sima Yan, and soon also died of the country, and then with the continuous decline of the Bi of He, China has also entered the darkest period in history, that is, five dynasties and ten countries, when the world was in turmoil, and the family bi finally did not know what to do, and the family bi spread to where, brought are the family broken, people died, the ministers were in turmoil, the country was destroyed, so according to legend, and the family is a piece of mourning jade, of course, no one has really seen and the family, just such a legend. ”

Lao Zhang flipped through the explanation, and Zhang Meng and I were straight-eyed, and I really didn't know that this jade had these talks.

At this time, the Jingyun drum on the stage was also sung, the waiter added a pot of water, and Lao Zhang continued: "The injured jade is basically "brought with soil", that is, it comes out of the tomb robbery. Ordinary jade will emit a peaceful aura, but this kind of wounded jade emits a bloody aura, which is difficult for laymen to see, but veterans who often do antiques can be recognized at a glance. Because of the legend that the injured jade will bring ominous and bloody disasters to the owner, no one is willing to accept it, so this kind of jade is difficult to sell, and it may have some value for the museum, but for those of us who do antique business are worthless, we can only consider ourselves unlucky. I have a nephew who has just entered the industry, to help me, I don't know about these, I accidentally received this jade Buddha, I look at it is a hurt jade, one is that although the price is not too high, five thousand yuan to collect, but after all, we are a small business, don't look at my business card what limited company, General manager's, that is all a façade bluffing, now the financial crisis, has been unable to make ends meet, still a pity, the most important point is that this thing is left in the hands of unlucky, I was also confused at the time, I took this jade Buddha to Jingshan side of the alley to set up a stall, want to find a mallet shot, I didn't expect to just put on you to come, originally negotiated 2500, and then received a deposit of 200, back the more I think about this thing to do the more not authentic, I think I am unlucky, I am embarrassed to see you again. As for the address, it was indeed written casually, just to make you believe it at the time. ”

Zhang Meng interjected next to him: "You are really bad, you are afraid of bad luck and are reluctant to throw it away and sell it to others, similar to Ma Sanli's cross talk of "Ma Shanren", catch a lice from yourself and can't bear to crush to death, so find a place with more people and throw it on others to feed." ”

Lao Zhang is worthy of being a businessman, and he didn't care about Zhang Meng's sarcasm after listening to it, and took a sip of tea and said: "See the smile, see the smile."

"I see, but since this is a "wounded jade", why would the owner of the antique shop pay 300,000 yuan to buy this thing?" I asked.

"I guess the boss must also be a veteran, this is called wanting to catch the old man, generally there are only two kinds of people who dare to take this thing to the antique shop to sell, one is indeed a mallet, just like the one my nephew met, the two mallets happened to meet together, and the other is a knock-off. When the boss saw that you asked for such a high price as soon as he opened his mouth, he must have regarded you as a ripper, because if you don't dare to open your mouth, you will ask for such a high price. The boss is unwilling to accept it, and he is afraid of offending you, so he took a risk, and immediately agreed, so that you can beat the drum in your heart, thinking that this thing is far more than the price you said, if you don't know how to sell it, you can get it, if you agree to sell, it means that you know how to do it, and then improvise, it seems that this is also an old fritter, is taking advantage of people's psychological weaknesses, put an empty city plan, and took a risky move. ”

At this time, I realized the meaning of the strange expression on the face of the antique shop owner when I left, which turned out to be "lucky". Only then did I realize how immature I was, a former 9-to-5 programmer, in front of these businessmen, and my social experience was still far behind.

I suddenly thought of a question: "Just now you said that you just set up a stall at the mouth of the alley and I came over, do you mean that I took the initiative to ask about this jade Buddha?"

"That's right," Lao Zhang said, "you took the initiative to ask."

This is strange, I seem to remember that it was "Lao Guo" who took the initiative to come forward and ride with me, as if it was not quite the same as what he said?

Regardless of this, the most important thing is that the jade Buddha is actually engraved with my name, and it was engraved on a piece of "wounded jade" a thousand years ago, this is too cautious, so I then asked: "Do you know that the jade Buddha is engraved with words?"

"I really didn't pay attention to this, this thing is unlucky, the sooner you shoot, the better, so as not to cause trouble to yourself, so I really haven't read it carefully, but the story I told you at the time is half-true, when my nephew received this thing, there was indeed a diary, the person who shot said it was useless to keep it, so I gave it to my nephew together, and then I probably glanced at it, it seems to be written by some scholar, remember what Yuquan Mountain, Red Guards, Guo Xiangdong...... Liu Erbao or something, I didn't look at it carefully, I was afraid that you wouldn't want it when I sold it to you, so I made up a story. ”

"Guo Xiangdong, do you remember that the diary says Guo Xiangdong?" I immediately made a new discovery when I heard this, and asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?" asked Lao Zhang, puzzled.

Zhang Meng pointed at me next to him: "Don't you know? This brother's name is "Guo Xiangdong".

Lao Zhang was also taken aback when he heard this, "What's going on?

I smiled bitterly and said, "I also feel very strange, Lao Zhang, is the notebook still there?" ”

"It should still be there, I have to go back and find it," Lao Zhang said.

At this time, Lao Zhang's phone rang, "I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone." Hey, what's wrong? Okay, got it, I'll be right over."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Zhang got up and said goodbye, saying that he was really embarrassed, something happened in his store, and the purchase of goods would be discussed another day, and he had to go back first.

I was anxious to know the whereabouts of the diary, and I also wanted to see the situation of my antique shop, so I said to Lao Zhang: "I also want to go to my shop, just by the way, if you don't mind us going with you, maybe we can help you if you have something." ”

Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, but I'm a little troublesome about this, it's best to pretend that I don't know you when you two arrive, if you two are involved again, it will be too much to go." ”

What is so serious? Zhang Meng and I didn't want to ask too much, so we rushed to Panjiayuan with Lao Zhang.
