Chapter 273: Antiques

Liuli factory? Selling glass? What's so fun about that?

didn't react for a moment, but Qin Chu nodded: "This place is interesting, let's go shopping as a night market." Bayi Chinese Network ?? .? 8?”

Beijing Liulichang, that is a famous cultural street. The rise was about in the Qing Dynasty, when the imperial examination was in vogue, and most of the people who came to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination lived in this area. The things that the literati played with each other were nothing more than the ancient books of the four treasures of the scholars, and until now, they are all treasures at the level of cultural relics. Therefore, there are many shops selling books, pen, ink, paper, and inkstones here in Liulichang, and the cultural atmosphere is very strong.

Not to mention, in addition to **, Ming Tombs, the Great Wall Summer Palace Temple of Heaven and other "classic projects", jumping out to go to the glaze factory is really a good suggestion.

In this way, as soon as Qin Chu took my hand, he jumped towards the legendary Cultural Street.

As soon as you walk to the side of the road, you can stare at the antique shops with red walls and green tiles on the street about two lanes in front of you. Trees are planted on both sides, and the deep and shallow reflections of the street lamps create a deep and shallow reflection of the loss of proportion, giving this cultural festival a mysterious atmosphere.

After all, it is a famous place, and the human eye is several times more than the alley just passed. As far as the eye can see, there are men and women of all ages, and even some old men are still wearing old robes, carrying bird cages and walking aisles in a chic manner, the bird cages are covered with thick green cloth, and the true body of the birds can not be seen, but there is a cry of "chirping and chirping" falling into the ears, so comfortable, as if returning to the capital hundreds of years ago.

Qin Chuyi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of my eyes: "Don't go in?" ”

"Come in!"

Walk inside to see, in fact, this cultural street is not short, there is a crossroads in front, some of the wide shop doors are much higher than the surrounding area, a wave of the pen, the big cursive xx Zhai xx pavilion, even the plaque is half of the door of the store. Some of the remaining shops also set up their names in a decent manner, some selling rice paper and some selling antique calligraphy and paintings, and there were three or two people standing in front of the door, nodding thoughtfully with their hands tied behind their backs.

For a while. I really don't know which one to go into. The coat wrapped around his body was loose, pulled from side to side like a robe, but his head was held high, and his eyes swept from house to house from time to time. Qin Chuyi looked funny. Holding my head and blowing it above my head: "It looks like a little bird." ”

"What bird?"

"In the hand of that big * master just now, I saw it through the crack, the small nose and small * mouth, exactly like you."

I frowned, why do you compare me to a bird? Although the words of the little bird seem to be praised...... In a flash, the name of a store fell into view.

Wu's study. The name of the shop is tied on a plastic curtain, and there are small lights running from the bottom to the top on the side, creating a unique atmosphere. Usually, if you see such a store, you will definitely not be interested in entering, but today is different, the name of the street, find a surname with your own, maybe you can get a discount.

Qin Chu touched *touched* my head: "The girl is easy to deceive, go, go in and have a look." ”

The side-sliding glass door opens. The store was not large, about two bays, and in the middle was a large square mahogany table, on which a slightly yellowed woolen felt was placed, on which hundreds of books, old and new, real and fake, lay on their backs. On the right is another rectangular cabinet, in which the first few books look shabby, and even some of the covers are crumbling, but the small lights on the side are strong, as if to say, "We are treasures, very expensive!" ”

The cash register is on the left side of the entrance. A simple glass bar counter with a few hand-made papers underneath, and the shopkeeper is sitting in it, practicing calligraphy. If you look closely, it is written in small Kai, Puru style, and Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra.

Seeing someone coming in, the boss didn't lift his eyes. I don't care, I prefer this kind of atmosphere that you can choose. Sometimes I go shopping in the mall. The waiter keeps following you and letting you try to let you wear it, and he will randomly pull out one to show you, saying that it is especially suitable for you, which is very depressing.

These old books have a great attraction to me, and most of the editors are due to their own liking, especially the "Persona" in my hand now, especially the special taste of jokes to satisfy the current readers, and there may be some treasures in the old books.

I looked at a light gray cover, the words on it are not very clear, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, I can only vaguely distinguish the words "strange" and "copy", and turn the page, it looks very simple. was just about to reach out to get it, but was directly blocked back by Qin Chuyi.

I turned my head to look at him strangely, meaning why don't you let me see it.

Qin Chu didn't make a sound, his chin raised slightly in the direction of the book, I looked along and instantly gasped.

Two thousand five? A broken book sells for two and a half thousand? Why don't you write two hundred and five? The hand that had just been stretched out immediately retracted and went straight back to his pocket, rubbing it as if he had made a mistake. It was really thrilling just now, I didn't look at the price, if I bumped it a little, the boss said that I was forced to buy and sell, and I was a foreigner, so I would definitely not take advantage of it.

The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, so I turned my head and peeked at the counter owner, very good, he was still copying the scriptures one by one, and he didn't have time to care about me.

The corners of Qin Chu's mouth raised, and he reached out and rubbed my shoulder, the nervous mood just now went down a lot, and his heart was still pounding. The price is written on a small piece of paper, attached to the bottom of the book, and the price is clearly marked, and the price of each copy is not low, and the cheapest one is five hundred. I glanced at a few people around me, there were about ten in total, and I was the only one who did it, and the others either watched from afar with their hands behind their backs, or they stretched their necks and stared, and no one did anything.

It's boring, you can't move just looking at it, let alone buying it. I paced around a few times, turned around and pulled Qin Chuyi to leave.

There was also a couple at the door, and after glancing at the price, they walked away. The girl's voice was not small, and she said complainingly: "The broken book is so expensive, I can go and buy a bracelet, go for a walk, go to that house to buy jade." ”

It seems that he is also an out-of-town tourist. Qin Chu and I looked at the shopkeeper consciously, and the traditional character "none" was stretched long, and we were not disturbed at all.

Walking out of the store, I finally breathed heavily, as if I had just come back from a vacuum. "No wonder the boss doesn't raise his head, maybe he knows that we are not serious about shopping, and he is too lazy to care about us."

After saying this, I still felt that it was not enough, and I always felt a little itchy in my heart before I opened the book: "Eh, you said the books on the counter." Isn't the price going to be tens of thousands, what kind of book will it be, an ancient book? Do ancient books have to be reported to the state, in case there is a robbery. Take a sack and take it away with hundreds of thousands. ”

Qin Chuyi sighed: "So I said, you are so easy to deceive." Do you really think those books on the counter are the best and most expensive? ”

"Isn't it?" I looked up at him.

"Now, let me ask you, if you have a treasure and you want to sell it and are afraid that others will rob you. What do you do? ”

Baby? I want to think about it......

"Hide it first, and then take it out when you fancy someone!"

"That's right," Qin Chu said with a smile, "You don't put ancient books in the most conspicuous place in the cupboard, and you have to turn on the lights, for fear that others won't know that they are of high value." Ancient books are generally very fragile, and that kind of bright light is a kind of destruction for it, and no one will do that. ”

So that's what happened. I looked up at Qin Chuyi again, and I seemed to feel that he was a little taller than usual. This well-informed person is just different.

Qin Chu was stunned. Looking down at me staring straight at him, a faint flush suddenly appeared on his face: "Look at what I* are doing, haven't you seen a handsome guy?" ”

I immediately lowered my head, my face almost buried in my neck: "Nothing, nothing......"

Qin Chuyi seemed to understand, and suddenly hugged me to his chest, clinging to it tightly, I didn't have to listen carefully to hear his beating and powerful heartbeat, and the tight and powerful muscle lines under his clothes appeared in front of me in the hotel just now.

"Otherwise, we'll go back now. Wrapping up what you didn't finish just now? ”

My face was already red, so I hurriedly pushed him away: "You are serious......"

But he didn't let go, licked his face and continued to lean over: "You touched your conscience and said, was it the same as I thought just now?" Isn't it? ”

I shook my hand and jumped straight ahead. Hmph, don't care about you, old and indecent. But the heart is sweet, and even the soft marshmallows seem to be stepped on under your feet.

"Ahh This one looks good, this one looks good! ”

Well? Turning his head, he saw the same couple again. I also walked over here and was picking up something at a store next to me. Holding a string of polished white beads in his hand, it was not the translucent kind, but it glowed with a special luster, inexplicably soft. I looked tempted and couldn't help but walk towards that end.

Qin Chuyi also followed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was the store with a strange plaque at the intersection just now, and the gate was made like an archway, with carved beams and paintings on it, as if there were chess cards of the big family in ancient times. There are also two pillars in front of the door, on which each book couplet, "unprovoked a stone canal scroll, steep memories of the group to see the road".

I was stunned, isn't this the poem in "Title Zhang Zongcang Huishan Tu", how to use it here, and it is still a store that sells gold and jade. Turning his head to look at Qin Chuyi, he was also helpless.

"It's far-fetched."

However, there are really a lot of people inside, and the business is very prosperous, and the boss in Tang costume has a red face and is everywhere. Sure enough, now is an era of looking at faces, no one cares whether there is connotation or not, and even these stores can go to whichever one is well decorated.

Vulgar!

Then he strode in.

We walked behind the couple, and saw that the string of white beads was the clams, soft and bright, and looked at the price, which scared people to death, three thousand six. Qin Chuyi snorted sullenly on the side, at this price, this quality, I'm afraid I can buy two or three.

However, the girl's interest was very high, and she kept gesturing in her hand, changing her left hand to her right hand, and her eyes flashed with joy, and she was very happy. The boyfriend on the side nodded frequently, saying, good-looking, really good-looking, buy, buy!

As soon as he heard the word "buy", the boss on the side immediately jumped over. More than ten meters away, like an ear to the wind.

"The girl has a good eye, she has a good complexion, she is good-looking, she is so good-looking!"

The boyfriend muttered: "Can it be cheaper?" ”

The boss shook his head, and the expression on his face was even more regretful than that of the couple: "I also want to sell it to the two of you cheaper, but this thing, there is only one thing, yesterday someone said to buy it, I refused, just fished out of the sea, see it for a few more days, yes, you have taken a fancy to it again, tomorrow that person will come, I don't know how to explain it......"

As soon as she heard that someone was going to rob her, the girl quit and pulled her boyfriend's arm to coquettishly: "What do I want......"

"Buy, buy, buy!" I took out a big wallet from my bag in three or two clicks, and the red and clear RMB was still hot and stuffed into the boss's hand.

"Is there a certificate for this thing?"

"What then!" The boss counted the money, no more, no less, and didn't raise his eyelids, "What's the matter, it's too late, just fished out of the sea......"

I didn't hold back for a moment, and I laughed, and the boss was immediately alert.

Qin Chuyi walked to the front and laughed: "We like it too, it's just a bit expensive." ”

After counting the banknotes, patting the farts * shares and leaving, the boss threw down a sentence: "If you can't afford it, go to Panjiayuan!" ”

Why does this sound so stumbling. I was a little angry, and I wanted to go up to theorize, but I was stopped by Qin Chuyi. "Forget it, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, let's go."

Walking on the road, I am still a little indignant, why does the boss look down on people so much, there is no shortage of thousands of yuan, I really don't want to buy it when you say this, it is really not as good as the old man who copied the scriptures in Wu's study just now.

Qin Chuyi hugged me who was puffing up: "Are you still angry?" ”

"I'm not angry," I don't think it's right, "I'm not angry for myself, I'm angry for Pan Jiayuan, what's wrong, it's all old goods, why is it worse than his family?" ”

"Good, good, all the same." He helped me loosen my shoulders and grabbed my other half of my clothes. The darker it gets, the colder the night.

Seeing that I was about to walk out of Liulichang Street, I suddenly stopped and looked back at Qin Chuyi.

"What's wrong?"

"I want to go to Panjiayuan?"

"Now?"

"Yes!"

Isn't the meaning of the journey just to go, I stared at Qin Chuyi with great anticipation.

After being stunned for ten seconds, he finally disarmed and surrendered: "Okay, let's go." ”

happily put his arm on his hand again, asked for directions to the side, and walked less than a kilometer, and you could probably see the gate.

The time is close to six o'clock in the evening, according to online information, Pan Jiayuan will close at about half past five, and now he is holding his tail down, and it is estimated that there are not many things to see. But I just held my breath in my heart, and if I didn't go in, I would like to take a look at the door. This kilometer is like a race walk, and even Qin Chuyi can't keep up with my footsteps.

Finally, a huge horizontal stone appeared in front of him, with a few words written on it, "China Pan Jiayuan". (To be continued.) )
