My name is Li Liangxi, 23 years old, graduated from Tsinghua University, a doctoral student in Chinese and archaeological research, my ancestors were all businessmen, my hometown is Guangdong in the coastal region of the south, but since my great-grandfather's generation, my family moved to Beijing.

A few years ago, my family's business set up its headquarters in New York, USA, so my parents and two older brothers also went to the United States, although there are still a few branches in China, but I never interfere in the company's affairs, if you want to say why, it has to start with my grandfather's time.

In fact, the ancestors started by reselling cultural relics at the beginning, which was later called "the fallen master", and the wars were raging during the Republic of China, and the lives of the people were miserable.

At that time, tomb robbers were the most prevalent, and many people formed gangs to steal the cultural relics in the ancient tombs in exchange for money and food from foreigners.

In Grandpa's grandfather's generation, our Li family was just a poor family, if it weren't for Grandpa Taizu's fight with others to become famous, there would be no glorious career of our Li family today.

Grandpa Taizu poured no less than 100 large and small buckets in his life, but later I heard my grandfather say that when he was 60 years old, Grandpa Taizu poured a bucket that was said to be very large, and since then Grandpa Taizu has washed his hands and stopped fighting.

Grandpa once told me that he was very curious about why Grandpa Taizu fought by himself, but he never let him participate, but because Grandpa Taizu was resolute, Grandpa had no choice but to obey and not act rashly.

Grandpa Taizu opened an antique shop after washing his hands, called "Liangxizhai", I don't know why it is called Liangxizhai, but why do I call it Li Liangxi, I once asked my grandfather, he just told me that this is what Grandpa Taizu meant.

I wondered, my father was not born when my grandfather left, but he had already helped me choose a good name, but no matter how I asked, my grandfather never said anything, so I had to give up, maybe grandpa himself didn't know.

My grandfather told me before his death that he would hand over the antique shop to me in the future, and I thought to myself that I had two older brothers, why give them to me instead of giving them to them, but my grandfather said that this was also what Grandpa Taizu meant, and I could only laugh.

After my grandfather passed away five years ago, my father discussed with me several times that I should sell the antique shop and then go abroad with the whole family.

Grandpa handed over the antique shop to me before he died, since this is the meaning of the ancestors, and the antique shop is also the brainchild of my grandfather, I can't just give it up.

In the end, my parents couldn't resist my insistence, so they had to grant me my wish to continue to stay in China to take care of the antique shop.

Grandpa said that this money will be used one day, I have listened to my grandfather since I was a child, so I didn't say a word about my parents, and they also left me a sum of money when they went abroad, to be honest, I didn't use it at all.

We do the business of these antique things, usually not open for a few years, and once opened, it is more than six figures, although I have only done a few transactions in the past few years, but it is enough for me to eat, drink and have fun without worrying about running out of money.

After graduating, I soaked in the store every day to shop on the Internet, and every day I didn't go anywhere except for my home and the store, just a real house to a moldy housegirl.

After the store took over, because it didn't need too many people, I sent out a few workers, leaving only one Lu Hang who was about my age, although I was not short of money to pay them, but the store was so idle, I didn't have so much spare money to support the idlers.

So only Lu Hang, who can talk on weekdays, is also very diligent, and cleans the store inside and out every day, in such a quiet, clean and comfortable environment, I feel very comfortable.

Working from 9 to 5 every day, in fact, to put it bluntly, 24 hours a day in addition to sleeping, is a day of play, I thought I could just be leisurely, live the leisurely life of my little rich woman, but one day, let my life no longer be peaceful.

At half past four o'clock in the afternoon of September 17, 2010, Lu Hang was bored lying on the table and sleeping waiting to get off work, while I was using my notebook to scroll through various posts in the post bar.

At that time, I was still immersed in my online world, but the wind chimes hanging on the door suddenly rang, and the sound of the wind chimes was particularly pleasant, which was specially set up to let us know that someone was coming in at the first time.

I looked up at the door, only to see a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in shabby clothes and looking ordinary, walking in.

Because the decoration in the store is definitely high-end, ordinary people don't take half a step, but now there is a person who looks like a beggar, I can't help but feel very strange.

I looked at Lu Hang and wanted to ask him what the man wanted to do, although I wanted to drive him away, but after all, he was a guest, but Lu Hang, a stinky boy, actually slept like a dead pig, lying motionless on the table.

I reluctantly stood up and walked over, and then asked with a good smile, "This uncle, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

"You're the shopkeeper, aren't you?" The middle-aged man spoke in a northeastern accent, and I didn't know what he wanted to do, so I had to nod.

After that, the man looked east and west for a while, and then said, "This shopkeeper girl, can we find a convenient place to talk?" ”

I looked at him puzzled, thinking to myself what I can't say here, I have to find a place to say? I began to wonder if this person had some intentions.

Then he said: "I have a baby I want to show you, you can take a look at it, by the way to estimate a price for me, if the price is right, I will let you sell in this store, what do you think?"

I looked at him carefully, and thought to myself, could this person be a reverse fighter? However, in recent years, no one in our store has come to resell the Ming ware, and I wonder if there will be no more tomb robbers!

Seeing that I didn't speak, he said, "Girl, my old man is definitely not here to fool you, just take a look, and make sure you won't regret it after you see it." ”

I saw that although he was dressed shabby, he looked like an honest man, so I asked, "Are you upside down?" ”

He glanced at me, and then nodded, I really didn't expect that there would be tomb robbers in these years, I thought to myself, what rare treasures does he really have? Then I'm really going to take a look.

I walked to the table and pushed Lu Hang, Lu Hang rubbed his eyes a little unhappily because he was woken up, and then sat up lazily, and when he saw the middle-aged man, he looked at me puzzled.

I said to him, "You look at the store first, and I'll go inside with this boss to talk about something." ”
