The gambling stone opened at two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were more than four hours left.

Due to the urgency of time, I have always been thrifty, and I couldn't take care of much, so I reached out and stopped a taxi on the street, and went directly back to the Qianmen courtyard. Asked the driver to wait outside the courtyard, I trotted into the house and hugged the bag of duck-billed walnuts, went out, and got back into the car, "Master, go to Mentougou Black Mountain Park." ”

At just after eleven o'clock, the Jetta stopped on the side of the road.

I looked at the meter, and I was like, one hundred and seventy-nine.

After settling the bill, I carried a big bag to block the sunlight on my face, and hurried to the gazebo where I went with Jiang Yan yesterday. Before the meal, there were many people in the periphery of the pavilion, some walking birds, some playing poker, some chatting, most of them were middle-aged and elderly. I politely greeted a few old men and women I knew, and then in the face of their puzzled eyes, I put the package on the white marble table, pulled the zipper, and poured more than 200 duck heads on the table.

An old man sighed, "What are you doing here?" ”

I wiped my sweat: "Didn't you promise you to bring walnuts yesterday?" That's it, let's take your pick. ”

"Hey, boy, we were joking with you, why did you really bring it?"

"yes, it's a lot of money, you can't just send it."

I shook my head: "It's not worth a few dollars, and it's useless to put it in my house." I saw that none of them moved the nest, touched the nose, so I reached out and rummaged over the table, checked out four duck heads, and stuffed them into the hands of an old man closest to me: "Grandpa Zhao, these two pairs are okay, you can play with them." ”

"It's not going to work, it's not going to work." Grandpa Zhao shook his head again and again, seeing that he couldn't shirk it, he wanted to pay me money.

My face tensed, and I moved Jiang Yan's mantra over: "Don't just look down on me, Grandpa Sun, Grandma Xu, you two also pick, take a few more pairs." ”

There are people who were not there yesterday for some reason.

Grandpa Zhao explained to them: "This young man is really good, yesterday he gave the old horse a pair of duck heads, we shouted to let him send me a few, hey, who knows the next day to bring it, look at this fuss, by the way, don't take it in vain, I remember that the young man is looking for old furniture, it is best to be a Taishi chair, if you know, tell someone, don't let him come all the way in vain." ”

I gratefully said, "Then I'll thank you all." ”

Some took one pair, some took two pairs, and in just twenty minutes, all 200 walnuts were given away.

Then, many people provided me with the news of the old furniture, I listened carefully, and specially checked out the places related to the Taishi chair from the inside, and under the guidance of Grandpa Zhao and a few old men, I searched for the bungalow area in the east for a long time. About seven or eight families have Taishi chairs, but the age of the chair is not very old, let alone the old mahogany, and it is not the old furniture I am looking for in the late Qing Dynasty at all.

Looking at my phone, it was already twelve o'clock.

I didn't let Grandpa Zhao and the others walk around with me anymore, and they still had to have lunch.

When everyone dispersed, I was at a loss to squeeze out a bitter smile at the huge bungalow area.

"Kid." Across from me came an old lady, I remember her, who had also taken my walnuts, and she was leading a child of five or six years old in her right hand, who was happily playing with walnuts. The old lady stood in front of me and said, "What kind of Taishi chair do you want to find?" ”

I said, "It's better to be mahogany, and it's going to be a long time." ”

The old lady hesitated for a moment, "...... Follow me and I'll show you the place. ”

"Okay, thank you." I didn't have much hope, but I followed.

After turning west and turning north, after walking about a hundred meters, the old lady stopped at the corner of a bungalow, quietly stretched out a finger and pointed at the brown courtyard door diagonally opposite, and whispered: "Oh, that's it, don't say that I told you." With that, he turned around and left the place with the child.

Looking left and right, I knocked on the door of his courtyard with a hint of doubt.

The door didn't close, and there was a creak that opened a gap inside, and instead of stepping in, I shouted outside.

Pedaling, the footsteps approached, and a vigorous old woman greeted me and looked me up and down: "Are you?" ”

I respectfully said, "Hello, I'm sorry to bother, I would like to ask, do you have any old furniture to sell?" ”

The old grandmother raised her eyebrows, and said with displeasure on her face: "You are collecting things again?" You're not going to be with that kid, are you? I blinked confusedly, not knowing what she was saying. After that, the old grandmother bowed her chin to the inner nunu and led me into this courtyard more than 30 meters square, and when I saw the person sitting on the bamboo chair in the courtyard, I realized what the old woman said.

It is Shen Zi'an from the School of Economics and Management of our school!

That is, the person who once picked up the redwood Taishi chair!

It's going to be bad! I've met the main owner!

Shen Zi'an obviously heard the conversation outside our hospital, his eyebrows tightened a few times, observed me, got up and nodded to me with a smile: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet a classmate here, I remember your surname...... The surname ......" He has gold-rimmed eyes, and he has the taste of a scholar.

"Gu Jing."

"Yes, yes, I remembered, I'm Shen Zi'an."

Shen Zi'an and I are in the same class, and we have a big class in the same lecture hall, and we often meet, so it is not surprising that he recognizes me. After a few words of conversation between the two of us, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the two Taishi chairs next to the wall under the eaves, no, to be precise, these two chairs should be the late Qing Dynasty mahogany Nanguan hat chairs, the wood is red and thick, and the backrest is carved, which is a good thing.

However, at this moment, I did not have any joy in my heart when I found my prey.

After all, Shen Zi'an came first, and in his previous life, this pair of chairs was originally purchased by him, and I am not sure that I can earn it from him.

"Don't waste your minds." The old grandmother frowned and said: "My wife said that none of these old things at home are sold, to tell you the truth, the retirement fee of the two of us is added together, and the flowers are not spent, and the son and daughter give us a lot every month, and there is no shortage of the thousand eight hundred yuan, well, go back quickly after drinking tea, and it is a waste of time to stay here." ”

Shen Zi'an flattered the teacup on the table and handed it to the old grandmother: "I really like this pair of chairs in my heart, you see, can you let me talk to the old man?" ”

"He's gone to his son's house, and he doesn't know when he'll come back." The old grandmother shook her head resolutely: "It's useless to discuss with him, if you don't sell it, you don't sell it, alas, I've talked about it, you two, don't fight the idea of this chair, go home quickly." ”

There is no room for her words, eighty percent of them are out of play.

Seeing that Shen Zi'an was still grinding her endlessly, I didn't want to be bored, so I said goodbye and turned around and walked out.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the courtyard door, and an old man and I were face to face.

Hey?

I was stunned for a moment: "Grandpa Ma? ”
