Chapter 951: The Treasure Left Behind by the Ancestors
PS: Three more ask for a monthly pass, please support it.
It is often said that when you pick up the bowl to eat, you will scold your mother when you put down the bowl.
At this time, Duan Lao did have such a suspicion, obviously he was a very high-level earth master. I showed off before, but now I firmly deny it, and even say that Feng Shui metaphysics is feudal superstition. Such capriciousness is really worthy of the profession, and it is the essence of seeing people talking about people and talking about ghosts.
At this time, Wang Guan watched coldly with interest, but he was a little curious in his heart. Could this frivolous young man also have the surname Kong? How did you get that half of the Danshu iron scroll, and will it be closed with Kongjia Village?
When Wang Guan was thinking, the young man didn't seem to hear the meaning of rejection in Duan Lao's words, and continued to laugh and said, "Duan Lao, you are too modest. Forget about the others, but in the entire mountain village, who doesn't know that you are a master of Xiangdi. And this ancestral hall, isn't it you who helped select the site and supervise it? ”
"It's not ......" Duan Lao didn't blink his eyes and directly denied it. The so-called people are old and fine, and people are going to talk nonsense with their eyes open, what can you do?
At the right time, the frivolous young man was speechless, but he didn't give up easily, and after rolling his eyes, he aimed at Yan Lao next to him, intending to save the country.
"Old Yan, let's paint again. How did you think about the previous proposal? In fact, your old drawings are also quite good, just give them to me, let me help you sell them, and they will definitely sell at a high price. ”
As he spoke, the flirtatious young man patted his chest, looking like I could pack a ticket. Yan Lao smiled, and there was no special reaction. However, Duan Lao was a little curious, and asked casually, "High price?" How tall can it be? ”
"It's good to have a reaction." The frivolous young man was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "One piece is at least a few hundred, and if you are lucky, you may be able to pay thousands of yuan." ”
"Thousands of ......" When Duan Lao heard this, he suddenly laughed, clapped his hands and said, "Yes." That's the price. Lao Yan, have you heard it, your painting is at this level. I don't think you should draw either, and go home and look at the shop honestly. ”
"I don't paint for money."
Yan Lao also smiled and said indifferently: "It's good if you like it, I don't care how much it costs." ”
He is qualified to say this, and he is truly noble, not famous. Whoever it is, silently doing what they love for decades. Whether there is outstanding performance or not, it is worthy of respect.
The frivolous young man didn't understand this, so he said very regretfully: "It's a pity, otherwise I would sell more than a dozen paintings a day, and the income would be thousands, which is much faster than making money by looking at the shop." ”
Duan Lao and Yan smiled and said nothing, but Wang Guan could see clearly from the side, and the eyes of the two were meaningful, as if they were watching a monkey jumping up and down for amusement. Glancing at the frivolous youth again. He was not aware of this fact at all.
In this way, ignorant people are actually a kind of happiness. While Wang watched from the sidelines, he unconsciously felt a little more pity in his eyes. However, it may be too obvious, but it has attracted the attention of frivolous youth.
"Huh......" the frivolous young man looked at it. I felt that Wang Guan was a little familiar, and suddenly I remembered, isn't this the young proprietor of the capital? The most important thing is that it is very easy to deceive...... Uh, no. Very kind and kind.
After thinking of Wang Guan, the frivolous young man immediately showed a bright smile and hurriedly walked over: "Boss." What are you doing here? Is it to go to the countryside to dig a house? In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, just give me a call, no matter what it is, I can help you get it and deliver it to your door. ”
"You know?" There was a little more surprise in Duan Lao's eyes.
"Yes, yes, of course I do."
The frivolous young man said ostentatiously: "This is the big boss of the capital, and he came to see my ......."
"Really?" Duan Lao couldn't help laughing: "Old Yan, it turns out that people are just visiting you, but the real purpose is to find Kong Chao to do something." ”
"What?"
The frivolous young man, that is, Kong Chao is not stupid, he was just blinded by lard just now, and he was a little confused for a while. Now that he heard Duan Lao's laughter, he reacted immediately.
Wang Guan sat next to Duan Lao and Yan Lao, they must have known each other, maybe they came together, but he said that he came to visit him, it must have become a joke......
Thinking of this, Kong Chao's expression was a little embarrassed, but his cheeks were too thick, and he was normal in an instant. Then he quickly changed the topic and asked curiously: "Boss, aren't you here to dig the house?" ”
"I'm here to visit Yan Lao." Wang Guan smiled, his eyes flashed slightly, and said, "Of course, if there are any good things in the village, I don't mind taking some back." ”
"Yes, of course there are good things." When Kong Chao heard this, he hurriedly said triumphantly: "Our village is the descendant of the Confucian saints, and the village has been established for more than 2,000 years, and there are countless treasures of all kinds. Some people don't know the goods, and treat treasures as garbage, boss, you are a big expert, you will definitely not be so blind......"
Everyone can hear that this is a very superficial run, and ordinary people will definitely not fall for it, and even feel disgusted. But Wang Guan had other purposes, so naturally he would not debunk it, but nodded lightly and said: "The origin of your village, I also heard Duan Lao say it just now, it is indeed very profound. ”
"However, hearing is false, seeing is believing."
At the right time, Wang Guan chuckled and said, "You can't just say it's okay, at least let me see it...... Don't talk about it, eat first. I'll stay with Yan Lao and them tonight, what treasure do you have, bring it back then. ”
At this time, a group of villagers poured in, some moved tables, some moved stools. However, more people are carrying large bowls of chicken, duck and fish, as well as home-brewed rice wine. For a while, the ancestral hall can be described as fragrant with wine and meat.
Seeing this situation, even if Kong Chao had the intention to pull Wang Guan to see his "treasure", he had no choice but to give up. However, with Wang Guan's guarantee of staying overnight, he was not in a hurry, he smiled and watched everyone busy, and when the official banquet was held, he sat next to Wang Guan with a smile, toasting and picking vegetables, taking care of everything.
Regarding the frowning expressions of the clansmen, Kong Chao must have turned a blind eye and was bent on currying favor with Wang Guan. In his opinion, the big boss should be supplied. When the big boss is comfortable, he will leak some money in his fingers, which is enough for him to be chic for a few months.
Don't mention Kong Chao's thoughts, anyway, aside from him, a guy who is not very popular, the others are very happy to eat and drink. Of course, the purpose of the banquet was to thank Yan Lao for his generosity, so the villagers toasted Yan Lao one after another.
Yan Lao couldn't bear to refuse everyone's kindness, it can be said that those who came did not refuse, and the banquet was only halfway through, and there were already seven, eight or nine drunk, and then the villagers put the target on Duan Lao, so by the end of the banquet, the two were already drunk and unconscious.
Of course, there is no need to worry, the two old people are naturally taken care of by the villagers. As for Wang Guan, due to the existence of Kong Chao next to him, no villagers are willing to deal with him.
This situation is exactly in Kong Chao's arms, and after eating and drinking, he immediately wiped his mouth, and then said with a smile: "Boss, how about going to my house and having a cup of tea?" ”
“…… Good. After seeing Duan Lao and Yan Lao being helped to a villager's house to rest, Wang Guan nodded and walked with Kong Chao to his home.
By this time, the sky was completely dark. In the mountain villages, there is no such thing as street lights, and only the lights of each house are used as a guide to barely see the road clearly.
Fortunately, Kong Chao's home is not far from the ancestral hall, and it takes about five or six minutes to walk.
"This is it."
When he arrived at the place, Kong Chao ran over in twos and threes, skillfully pushed the door open, ran in quickly, turned on the electric light in the house, and then ran out to welcome Wang Guan into the door with a smile.
Wang Guan stepped forward and took advantage of the situation around him. At first glance, he felt very surprised, only to see that this house was very dilapidated, which was completely different from Kong Chao's trendy and bright clothes.
But thinking about it deeply, Wang Guan also felt relieved. It can be seen that Kong Chao is a good-looking person, even if his family is so poor that he can't open the pot, it is estimated that he will have to slap his swollen face and become fat.
As expected, when welcoming Wang Guan into the door, Kong Chao also explained: "This is the ancestral house, I haven't lived in it for a long time, it's a little dilapidated, boss, don't mind." ”
"Well, it's fine." Wang Guan said quietly: "The ancestral house is good, there are more old things." ”
"Yes, yes, that's it." Kong Chao nodded again and again, and quickly led Wang Guan to the hall.
There were a few benches and benches in the hall, and the surface was covered with a layer of dust. Maybe Kong Chao didn't lie, he really hadn't lived here for a long time. After all, the ancestral house is relatively dilapidated, and he prefers to hang out outside.
"Boss, sit down."
Struggling to wipe a chair clean? Kong Chao hurriedly moved next to Wang Guan, and then said with a smile: "You sit down first, and I'll go and get things out now." ”
"Hmm."
Wang Guan nodded slightly, and when Kong Chao left the hall, he carefully looked at the layout of the hall. Like many rural buildings, this house is a mud tile structure. A little more elaborate is to smear a layer of lime on the mud bricks. However, after a long time, the lime began to peel off piece by piece, full of the smell of decay.
This kind of decay is not only superficial in the construction of the house, but also lacks a kind of vitality.
Although most of the whole mountain village is a mud tile house, but the mud tile houses are generally clean, even if it is old, but there are people who clean it economically, and you can hear the sound of chickens and dogs barking, as well as the sound of children playing, this is the vitality of popularity, giving people a positive and thriving feeling.
But not here, even if all the lights in the hall are on, you can hear the sound of the wind, which is very quiet. Tranquility is an elegant way of saying it, but in fact, it is lifeless, like a haunted house.
"I've been here for a long time, and I guess I'm scared out of my illness if I'm not sick." Wang Guan muttered, and saw Kong Chao come over with a large bag of things.
"Boss, look at ......"
At the right time, Kong Chao spread out the big bag and said expectantly: "These are the treasures left by my ancestors, do you like them." (To be continued......)
