Back at home, Hong Tianbao was blamed by Xia Feishuang again.

There was an object, but she actually concealed it and didn't report it, so she and the old woman Hong studied it for a week, and finally their efforts were in vain.

"Mom, didn't you ask? I wanted to say it in the morning, but you stared at me! Plus she and I are not really in a male-female relationship, isn't it okay to talk nonsense? A lot of words," Hong Tianbao smiled bitterly.

"What's good or bad? You kid can't take the initiative because you're a man? According to your kid's mentality of chasing girls, fairies will be angry when they go down to earth. Listen to Tang Yatou, Yawen and Yafei both like you, you kid have to think about it! Since she likes Yawen, she should make it clear to her sisters, don't hurt other girls. Xia Feishuang crackled and sprayed at Hong Tianbao.

Hong Tianbao grabbed his hair and said, "I know! "His biggest headache now is to deal with the affairs of the two sisters, no matter how stupid he is, he can see that Yafei's girl is also interesting.

"Stinky boy, don't be impatient, these things should be broken, don't break the thread, in the end it will not be good for anyone. Okay, go take a shower first, and then eat. Xia Feishuang let Hong Tianbao go, and Hong Tianbao ran away.

Hong Junzheng, Hong Junyi and Hong Piaoxue are snickering in the back, and the second brother will also have a time to be deflated? It's not easy! The old woman Hong's eyes widened, and she said to the gloating Hong Junzheng and Hong Junyi: "Don't laugh, are you still young?" If you don't catch it, there will be no good girl at that time, and you will have no place to cry. ”

Hong Junzheng and Hong Junyi hurriedly lowered their heads, and their mother also took the opportunity to launch an offensive, and the two brothers immediately couldn't bear it.

In the evening, Hong Tianbao practiced alchemy for another night, refining two furnaces in total, the quality was good, and the technique began to become proficient.

Professor Fang lives in Chao. Yang. area, and it is also in a farm farm on the outskirts. The farm is an ecological farm where chickens, ducks, fish, and vegetables are grown, all of which are green food

Hong Tianbao took a jar of dragon incense and a jar of spirit wine as gifts, and walked inside.

The site of the firewood kiln took Professor Fang more than half a month, and he also came back not long ago. I was very happy to see Hong Tianbao's arrival.

"Old woman, this is my apprentice." Professor Fang introduced himself to his wife. Hong Tianbao saw the old woman's kind eyes and hurriedly said hello.

"Tempo, huh? A lot of words come to play directly, and why do you bring gifts? That's kind enough. The old woman took the gift that Hong Tianbao brought. Elder Fang seemed to be a good drinker, and when he saw the jar of wine, he knew that it was old wine, and immediately swallowed his saliva. This action was immediately glared at by the old woman, and Old Fang withdrew his eyes and smiled.

The two talked for a morning, basically about archaeology. Fang Lao also finally saw Hong Tianbao's super memory and comprehension ability, which can be described as terrifying.

The old woman went to the farm and had a chicken and a fish caught, pick some vegetables, and start cooking. As soon as the time comes, the meal will be served, and it seems that the rhythm of the old man's life is quite regular.

At the dinner table, the spirit wine brought by Elder Fang Hong Tianbao was opened. Smelling the aroma of wine, even Old Madam Fang was surprised, not to mention Old Fang's wine worm.

"Tianbao, this wine is good! Where did you get it? Could it be that your grandfather's special wine was brought by your boy to honor me? Fang Lao said assumedly.

Hong Tianbao shook his head and said, "No, it was given by a friend of mine, and the amount is very small." Because some precious medicinal materials are brewed together, it is very helpful to human health, and my wife also drinks some, which is beneficial and harmless. ”

Old Madam Fang was just about to open her mouth to refuse, but Old Fang had already prepared an extra cup. This spirit wine is not as spicy as ordinary wine, and it tastes very strong, but there is no unpleasant smell of wine, and after drinking, the whole person is much more comfortable. ..., Seeing that Fang Lao was about to pour wine, it seemed that it was not enough for his throat, Hong Tianbao hurriedly stopped: "Teacher, a glass is good, although this wine is delicious and has a certain effect, it is said that the medicinal power is too strong, and you can't drink more." ”

Elder Fang looked at the wine jar and licked his lips. Old Madam Fang was most touched by the spiritual effect of this wine, and immediately sealed the sealing mud and prepared to keep it for her two sons, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter to drink. Seeing her husband's appearance, she glanced at him and said, "Didn't you hear Tianbao's words? Can't drink more? ”

Fang Lao touched his beard to hide his embarrassment, and said, "Wine is good wine, but it makes people depressed when they drink it." ”

After eating and chatting for a while, Hong Tianbao was about to leave. Fang Lao immediately went to the study, turned out a large pile of books, and finally sealed them in a large cardboard box for Hong Tianbao to take back and read.

Hong Tianbao did not go back immediately, but drove to Lao. City. area.

Four of the 12 zodiac deities have been carved out, and there are eight others to be found. According to the information provided by the special military group, in addition to the four zodiac signs that have been obtained, seven of the other eight have family descendants distributed in China, and there is a family surnamed Dong who moved to Japan in the early days of the Republic of China.

Among them, there is a family surnamed Shi in the capital, which used to be a wealthy party, but after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, this family also entered a cold water period and gradually declined to this place.

Walking through the labyrinthine streets and alleys, Hong Tianbao came to the gate of a dilapidated compound. The two stone lions in front of the door have been changed beyond recognition, and the two huge wooden doors also look extremely vicissitudes. On the eaves on both sides hang two bells fluttering in the wind, which sound pleasantly from time to time.

"Huh! These two bells are a big fate, but they have not been stolen or discovered by people who know the goods. Hong Tianbao smiled slightly, the two bells have a history of more than 600 years, and after a long period of wind and rain, the two bells have already become extraordinary. In the eyes of Feng Shui, they are the best magic weapons, and they already have a certain magnetic field.

In ancient times, it was also common to hang bells on the eaves, called wind chimes. The role is not big, but it is not small, and it was used by the ancients to catch birds. The nests they gave birth to corroded the beams of the eaves and affected the safety of the house, so they were also called finch bells.

Hong Tianbao came to the door, knocked a few times, and after two minutes, no one opened the door, thinking that there was no one at home. Hong Tianbao was just about to leave when the door opened. A head sticking out of the crack in the door was a little girl.

"Who are you? Who to look for? The little girl asked.

Hong Tianbao smiled: "I am a person who buys antiques, are your adults at home?" I'd like to talk to them. ”

"Oh! Then you wait, I'm going to ask my grandfather! The little girl closed the door again, and presumably ran to call someone.

didn't let Hong Tianbao wait, and soon the little girl led an old man with a cane out. When the old man saw Hong Tianbao, he was stunned at first, although he invited Hong Tianbao to come in.

"I didn't expect my little brother to be so young, hehe!" The old man said.

Hong Tianbao heard these words inexplicably-and then the old man's words made Hong Tianbao understand. It turned out that the little girl only told the old man just now that there was a person collecting antiques outside. In the old man's heart, the people who buy antiques are basically some old men.

"The old man is laughing, and the kid is just messing around." Hong Tianbao was modest.

Walking in the compound, I found that every place here reveals traces of vicissitudes of history.

When he entered the hall, he found that people were eating, Hong Tianbao smiled bitterly, no wonder no one opened the door for so long just now.

There are two points that Hong Tianbao should pay attention to, the first is that the only middle-aged person in this family is actually in a wheelchair and one leg has been amputated. Another point is that the furniture here is all high-end antique goods, which is the most popular rosewood furniture in the Ming Dynasty. ..., the people inside didn't show too much enthusiasm when they saw Hong Tianbao coming in, but an old woman asked Hong Tianbao if he had eaten, if he didn't dislike it, he could eat some together. Hong Tianbao hurriedly said that he didn't need it, he just ate it.

Seeing Hong Tianbao paying attention to a few pieces of furniture in his house, the old man seemed to know this, and said to Hong Tianbao: "Little brother should also come for these furniture, right?" A lot of words to tell the truth, there have been three groups of people who have come before, all of them are interested in this house, but the price given does not meet my requirements, and I have all refused. Now it's up to you to see what price you can give. I'm not afraid to say that our family is in trouble now, and we are really short of money, so we will have the psychology of selling. ”

This made Hong Tianbao surprised for a moment, and then said, "Oh? Does the old man have plans to sell this set of rosewood furniture from the Ming Dynasty? I don't know what price the three groups of people gave before, and what is the psychological price of the old man? ”

"Huh! You're not here for this set of furniture? The highest price they give is 90,000, but I need 200,000, which is my minimum. If you don't think it's reasonable, please do so. "It seems that the old man is a very straightforward person.

"Huh! Shi Lao, fortunately, you didn't sell it, otherwise you would have suffered a big loss. Brother Shi, don't you know rosewood furniture either? ”。 Hong Tianbao smiled bitterly in his heart, these antique dealers are too ruthless, this set of furniture is at least more than two million, and they are reluctant to pay for 200,000 yuan, and they have to lower the price

"Huh! How do you know about our surname history? I didn't seem to say it just now! Uncle Shi sighed strangely.

Of course, Hong Tianbao knew, and also learned that the middle-aged man in a wheelchair and his wife were both middle school teachers. Because the middle-aged man was hit by a luxury car, he not only did not receive the corresponding compensation, but also lost his job. Now the whole family is supported by his wife alone.

"This is rosewood? Didn't those people say sour pear wood before? Rosewood is said to be quite valuable. The man in the wheelchair had only said a word. The man seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and the words came out of his mouth, looking a little stiff.

Hong Tianbao nodded and said, "Uncle Shi, don't be surprised, someone introduced you to me before I came." Brother Shi is right, rosewood is valuable, rosewood in the Ming Dynasty is even more rare, this set of furniture is worth at least two million, if you want to sell, I will help you contact buyers. ”

As soon as these words came out, except for a little girl who had no concept of two million, everyone else in the family was stunned and speechless. In the end, the old man scolded: "These days it's a thing, this money is too black, but fortunately, I didn't rush to make a move." ”

"Thank you, little brother, for reminding you, you're different from other antique dealers. By the way, I didn't know that the little brother obeyed the big name. Before, because of my own reasons, I was so embarrassed to snub my little brother! The man said with some embarrassment.

"Huh! Brother Shi is welcome, my surname is Hong, my name is Tianbao! Just call me Tianbao. Other antique dealers buy antiques to make money, and I use them to collect, and the two have different starting points, so they are naturally different. By the way, is there a jade carving in your house, I came today just for that jade carving. Hong Tianbao finally explained his intentions.

The family was stunned again, and the old man asked urgently: "That jade carving is also a treasure?" Seeing Hong Tianbao nodding, the old man scolded again: "This bloody hemp, Lao Tzu dares to deceive me, and asks me to sell it for 500 yuan." The old man was so angry that his beard stood on end.

"Five hundred?" Hong Tianbao also stared, and hurriedly asked: "Old man, may I ask where that hemp seed is, that jade carving is very important to me, please let me know." ”

The old man sighed and then said, "Hemp Zi is a vendor in a nearby antique street, and he often goes in and out of old houses in this area to buy all kinds of old things. If you're looking for it, turn right out of the alley, walk to the fork, and walk left, and you should be able to see it. Hong Tianbao nodded, and was just about to say goodbye and leave, when the old man suddenly became frightened. Brother Shi hurriedly said, "Brother Hong, can you help us contact your friend?" We are in a hurry to use the money now. ”

Hong Tianbao suddenly realized and immediately called Ye Jianzhong. He remembered that Ye Jianzhong had said before that he wanted to find a set of rosewood furniture from the Ming Dynasty.

"Alright, my friend will be here soon, I'll go out first and take the jade carving back. Oh! By the way, Uncle Shi, the two bells at the door of your house are also treasures, don't be cheated again.

The two bells are treasures of hundreds of years, and there are seven or eight hundred thousand people who like bells very much, and they can even sell millions. Hong Tianbao finally had to remind them.

When Uncle Shi heard this, he immediately carried the ladder to the door to take down the bell. Millions of treasures hang at the door every day, making him break out in a cold sweat.

was reminded by Hong Tianbao's kindness, and the whole family's favor towards Hong Tianbao immediately rose.

Leaving the Shijia compound, Hong Tianbao came to the so-called antique street according to Uncle Shi's prompts, which was just a small river, with ancient trees on the embankment and old houses with historical sites on the other side. Under the shade of the trees, more than a dozen vendors were somewhat listlessly drowsy. In the distance, a few old people set up a few tables of chess under the tree to fight.

Hong Tianbao paid special attention to a guy with a face full of pockmarks, which should be the hemp seeds in Uncle Shi's mouth. Hong Tianbao pretended to walk over casually, looking at it as he walked, and squatted down from time to time to look at the antiques in other stalls.

To Hong Tianbao's surprise, there was actually an unexpected joy here.

Hong Tianbao squatted down and picked up a red yellow stone carving. It is a kind of vicious and gluttonous beast in the legend of gluttony, and the ancient bronze is often decorated with the shape of its head, which is called gluttonous pattern. Legend has it that he was one of the nine sons of the dragon. Tao Tao is a mythical beast in ancient Chinese legends, and its biggest feature is that it can be eaten. Gluttony is an imaginary and mysterious monster. This monster has no body, only a large head and a large mouth, and is very greedy, eating whatever it sees.

"Little brother, how's it going? Have you taken a fancy to this stone carving? This is a baby! If you like it, it's cheaper for you, how about it? When the boss saw that there was business, he immediately cheered up.

"What the hell did this come about? It looks so ugly! Hong Tianbao deliberately pretended not to know gluttony.

The boss is more energetic, and as soon as these words come out, it shows that this kid is a big wrongdoer. He immediately said, "This is an ancient divine beast, gluttonous!" Gluttonous brother should have heard of it, right? There are a lot of words and this stone is also famous Ming Huangshi, which is very collectible. If you like it, brother, I will give you eight hundred. ”

The boss didn't dare to be too ruthless, seeing that Hong Tianbao was dressed very ordinarily, for fear of scaring away this kid, then today's business would be yellow.

"So it's gluttony, but it's fun! Good! It's good to buy one and go back. Hong Tianbao took out the money, and then picked up the gluttony the size of an adult rabbit.

The boss was stunned again, he didn't expect this young man to be so cheerful, and he regretted that the price was too low.

Seeing that this young man was not the kind of idle person who was bored and had nothing to do with them, those bosses cheered up one by one and sold their treasures one after another. This time, Hong Tianbao didn't squat down, but just stopped at each stall, glanced at it, and walked away.

Until the stall of the hemp seeds, Hong Tianbao squatted down again and picked up a jade carving.

The pockmarked man was full of smiles, which made his pockmarked face even more terrifying. Hong Tianbao dodged slightly, and the hemp son smiled and said, "Little brother, my jade carving is a good thing!" It's no worse than the gluttony in your hand. This is... ・・・”

Hong Tianbao interrupted: "I know this, it's called a hedgehog!" I already have one at home, do you have any other jade carvings here, take them out and see, if I don't have them, the price is suitable, then it's easy to do. Of course, Hong Tianbao will not fail to recognize that the famous divine beast produced under the ancient divine system is also known as the "law beast". It is said that it is as large as an ox and as small as a sheep, and its appearance is roughly similar to that of a unicorn, with thick black hair all over its body, bright eyes, and usually a single horn on its forehead. He has a high level of wisdom and can understand people's speech, and he will use his horns to resist those who are dishonest and disloyal.

Hemp laughed again, but his hands and feet were not slow, and he immediately turned over the snakeskin bag where he kept his things. After a while, he turned out three more jade carvings. Hong Tianbao looked at the jade monkey with his eyes and smiled slightly.

"This monkey doesn't have one, but wouldn't it be too ordinary to buy it back?" Hong Tianbao picked up the brown monkey and said.

Hemp Zi immediately said urgently: "How come? This monkey is so cute! Do you have children at home? Seeing Hong Tianbao nodding, he continued: "That's it!" I dare to say, this monkey must be more popular than the monster in your hand, listen to my brother, buy it back! ”

"Hmmm! It seems to make sense, but the price is ...... You make an offer! I don't like bargaining, I don't say anything if it's appropriate, and I don't say anything if it's inappropriate. Hong Tianbao put the jade monkey down.

This made the hemp child distressed, and it could be seen that this kid really couldn't bargain, but he was a decisive person, and he said nothing. This kind of is the most difficult to do, and if you talk too much, this kid may not want it, and he ran away without making a sound. If you say less, you will feel uncomfortable.

"Let's be honest! This jade monkey was collected by me for a thousand, and you have to earn one or two hundred labors for my brother more or less, right? A lot of words are one thousand two, if you want it, take it away, I can see that my brother doesn't like to bargain, and I don't dare to say more. ”

Hong Tianbao despised it in his heart, and the purchase price of five hundred was doubled for him. He pretended to ponder for a while, and then took the money to take the jade monkey ......,
