Chapter 4 Apprenticeship to Ancient Texts
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet a person, his name is Gu Wen, and everyone calls him Uncle Gu. In Seaside City, he is an old-timer, and the reputation of the antique industry in Seaside City is not bad, now! Hehe, it's my master. We'll show him this thing, and I'm sure he's not going to see it very often. ”
Xu Haocai was said by Xia Xiaofeng to feel comfortable all over his body, and his 38,000 pores were dilated. Secretly said that this kid can be a man, even if this kind of person doesn't study, he will be very mixed in society.
"Okay, then we're going to visit this old-timer."
Hong Tianbao originally wanted to enter the antique industry, and he was still looking forward to seeing these big shots, which would be beneficial to him, at least he would have the capital to brag about it in the future.
The three of them went to the antique street in Haibin City to kill it.
Along the way, Xia Xiaofeng kept asking Xu Haocai all kinds of questions about the antique world, and from time to time he slapped him with a sycophant.
The latter felt good about himself, and this foam sprayed one bite at a time. One of the two was drugged, and the other was drunk.
Hong Tianbao, who saw the next to him, was stunned for a moment, and finally simply closed his eyes and luck, out of sight. The driver in front of him was also dumbfounded, and secretly thought, these two people are not simple!
They came to a small shop called Gu Yaxuan, the store is not large, less than 100 square meters, two floors. The storefronts of this entire antique street are about the same size.
"Don't underestimate these small shops, the bosses behind them are all worth tens of millions. That's the beauty of antiques, hehe! You'll find out later. Xu Haocai reminded.
After entering Gu Yaxuan, Hong Tianbao saw three people, an old man, a young girl, and a young man.
The old man has white hair, but there are not many wrinkles on his face, wearing a gray robe, sitting at the tea table in the corner and drinking tea.
The girl is about twenty years old, pure and smart, with white skin, and when she laughs, two cute little dimples appear on her face. At this time, he was typing on the computer next to the computer, Hong Tianbao guessed that this person should be the accountant of this store, and he should be sorting out some financial information now. Hong Tianbao took a closer look, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, feeling that this girl was chatting Q, and she looked at this girl a little highly.
The young man was moving some items from the store, and this should be the guy in the shop.
Xu Haocai secretly told Hong Tianbao that the old man was Uncle Gu, and the woman was his granddaughter, named Gu Meier. The young man was an apprentice named Chen Sheng.
"Yo! Rare guests! Are you coming, boy? What's it today? Not at your auction house, come and see me, bad old man? Aren't you going to soak your chick? As soon as Uncle Gu looked up, he saw Xu Haocai glaring at Hong Tianbao, and immediately laughed. Gu Mei'er and Chen Sheng both looked over and immediately laughed.
Xu Haocai was embarrassed, his face turned red, and he secretly scolded this old guy for being hateful.
Hong Tianbao glanced at Xu Haocai in surprise, and suddenly understood in his heart that this guy must have made some jokes before.
"Ahem! Let me introduce ......" Xu Haocai immediately changed the subject.
Chen Sheng smiled at Hong Tianbao, but Gu Mei'er, the little girl, saw that Hong Tianbao looked good, and frequently glanced at it from the corner of her eye.
"Uncle Gu, hello, I have admired the name for a long time!" Hong Tianbao immediately stretched out his hand.
"Hehe, what have you admired for a long time? It's all a small fight, not a climate, hehe! It's not a climate! Little friends don't have to be polite. Uncle Gu's first impression of Hong Tianbao was good, he was calm, good-looking, and extraordinary, especially the self-confidence that was exposed, which made the old man nod secretly.
"Come, come, sit, sit! Have a cup of tea together. ”
"Oops! Master, don't worry about drinking tea for now! This time my buddy came over for something to do. Xu Haocai immediately interjected.
"What are you in a hurry? is always frizzy, this surname does not change, and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility. Uncle Gu's eyes widened, and he blew his beard and said. Then he turned his head and asked Hong Tianbao: "Little friend, I don't know what happened this time?" If I can, I'll try my best. ”
Uncle Gu had already guessed that Xu Haocai, this kid, would definitely not come for no reason.
Hong Tianbao took out the red sandalwood box and handed it over.
"Ancient, this time there is something really annoying. I want to ask your old man to help me identify this box, and I also want to make a move. ”
As soon as Uncle Gu saw that his eyesight was extraordinary, he could see the extraordinaryness of this box.
"The box made of the best red sandalwood, good, good. This thing is rare, and the carving on it is a must. Uncle Gu took out the magnifying glass he brought with him, looked at it carefully, and his mouth was full of praise.
"This superb red sandalwood box has a history of about 2,000 years, and it is really rare to be so well preserved. Xiaoyou, how did you get this box? Uncle Gu finally put down the box unsatisfied. For an antique lover, what he wants to see most is that an antique can be passed down completely.
"Is this really 2,000 years old?" Xu Haocai's eyes suddenly widened, and he glanced at Hong Tianbao in horror.
"What? Is there a problem? Uncle Gu glanced at Xu Haocai who was surprised, is this thing strange for two thousand years? Something that's older, this kid should have seen a lot of it, right, is it necessary to have this expression?
"This box was originally an heirloom for my grandfather's family, and it held a copper coin. However, the copper coin was identified as not a treasure, and I saw that the box was made of rosewood, so I took it out and took a look. Hong Tianbao replied with a smile.
Uncle Gu nodded secretly, although he didn't believe Hong Tianbao's story, he also believed eight points.
"You kid can tell at a glance that this box is 2,000 years old? How can you tell? Xu Haocai did not let go of Hong Tianbao.
"What? You can tell at a glance that this thing is 2,000 years old? This time, Uncle Gu was also surprised. Gu Mei'er and Chen Sheng in the distance also looked sideways.
"It's nothing, I've seen some introductions before, and I'm not too sure."
"Self-taught?" Uncle Gu was even more thunderous, Xu Haocai sighed listlessly, and secretly said that this kid is a demon, it seems that he has been pressed under his feet all his life, but fortunately, the relationship between the two is very iron. Gu Meier and Chen Sheng in the distance gasped, in the antique industry, let alone self-study, even if the teacher is famous, he may also fall into the quagmire, this person in front of him is too terrifying, right?
They didn't know that all this was the credit of Luobao's money, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to do it to this extent if they gave it three or five years.
Uncle Gu was silent, and finally seemed to have made a lot of determination.
"Xiaoyou, I heard Xiaohao just now, are you going to enter the antique world? The antique industry is very deep, and if you think about it yourself, it will consume a lot of your youth. Otherwise, if you take me as a teacher, I believe that with your talent and some help from me, you will go faster and further. ”
Uncle Gu looked at Hong Tianbao with hope, such a talented disciple, anyone would be moved. In their profession, the teacher is very particular.
"This ......" I have to say that Hong Tianbao is very excited, which will at least make him take a lot of detours.
The people next to him were shocked, especially Xu Haocai, who was stubborn and forced himself to stuff himself when he was apprenticing. Now the master actually takes the initiative to accept apprentices? He's going crazy. However, as soon as his mind flashed, he immediately reacted.
"Yes, yes! Xiaobao, hurry up and apprentice, it's good for you, don't hesitate. The master is still quite famous in the antique world, so you don't suffer. Xu Haocai shouted urgently.
Hong Tianbao glanced at this guy strangely, and immediately became cautious in his heart. This kid has absolutely bad intentions, with his understanding of Xu Haocai, his expression is extremely wrong now, and he has to guard against it.
When Uncle Gu heard this, he was in a good mood, and for the first time he felt that Xu Haocai was a good kid.
Before Hong Tianbao could speak, Xia Xiaofeng on the left was already kneeling on the ground.
"Master, your old man should also accept me! I also want to enter the antique world, I am a sincere apprentice, the world can be learned, the moon can be bright! ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Uncle Gu was even more ugly laughing than crying. What is this? This is the main owner who hasn't caught it yet, but he has made a trip to bite the gold?
Xu Haocai's old face turned red and was seen by Hong Tianbao. I was even more surprised in my heart, this kid is not normal today!
Chen Sheng scratched his head and said, "This scene seems to be a little familiar!" ”
Gu Mei'er kept laughing: "Hehe! Did you forget? Senior Brother Xu's words were the same, hehe! The same place, the same action, the same words, hee-hee! Wow! It's so much fun. ”
Xu Haocai's head was getting lower and lower, and his eyelids were jumping.
"Flutter!" Hong Tianbao couldn't help laughing anymore, his feelings and this thing are different from what this kid said at the beginning! This guy said at the beginning that Gu Gu saw that he had extraordinary qualifications and insisted on being his apprentice, so he reluctantly agreed.
"Don't laugh, is it funny?" Xu Haocai suddenly became a little annoyed, and glared fiercely at Gu Mei'er, who was still smiling.
"This ......" Uncle Gu looked at Xia Xiaofeng on the ground, and then at Hong Tianbao who was sitting.
"Master, you just accept me! I'm going to work hard. Xia Xiaofeng suddenly added another sentence, this kid is also superb enough, in order not to go to school, he can really do anything.
"Hehe, hehe!" Uncle Gu couldn't laugh or cry.
Hong Tianbao looked at this superb cousin, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, there was really nothing he could do.
This action fell into Uncle Gu's eyes, and his heart was cold. sighed in his heart, and secretly said that he couldn't force everything!
Hong Tianbao picked up a cup of tea and came to Uncle Gu.
"Master, please use tea!"
These words made Uncle Gu, who was at a low ebb, immediately wake up, and his face was full of surprise.
"Good, good, good! From now on, you will be my closed disciple. Xiaofeng, get up too! I'll take you as a registered disciple first, you're not as talented as your cousin, so you have to work harder, you know? ”
Xia Xiaofeng, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately kowtowed like garlic, "Yes, yes, what the master taught is to follow the teacher's teachings!" "This kid patted his ass, and no one could resist it.
"I, I'm Senior Brother, you call Senior Brother to listen." Xu Haocai immediately made a face.
Hong Tianbao's face darkened, and he said secretly: I said that this kid died so well just now! It turned out to be this idea.
Before Hong Tianbao could speak, Xia Xiaofeng on the side had already called his senior brother, which made the latter enjoy it greatly.
"Hey, Xiaobao, why don't you call Senior Brother?" Xu Haocai found out that there was a junior brother.
Hong Tianbao frowned, "Is there a senior brother like you who is a dead beggar for nothing?" ”
Everyone immediately laughed, only Xu Haocai had a bitter face, and was speechless for a moment.
