Chapter 148: Bronze Coins
The fairy hall is very lively, there are people who watch the excitement, and there are people who burn incense and worship the Buddha. Each has his own purpose.
Gao Yang and his parents also stood among these people. Gao Yang originally just planned to see the excitement. But Li Chunhua can't do this, she is a person who wants to worship when she sees God. Now that she has come to the Immortal Gu Palace, of course she has to pay her respects.
Li Chunhua bought three long incense candles outside, and then said to Gao Yang: "Son, let's pay homage to the fairy Gu together as a family, do you hear it, this is my order, it must be executed, you know!" ”
Li Chunhua knew that her son and husband didn't like to burn incense and worship Buddha, so she had already given an 'order' to Gao Yang and Gao Qianyuan.
Gao Yang and his father listened, so they had to smile bitterly and accept Li Chunhua's request.
At that moment, the three of them, following behind those who worshipped, waited for the people to finish worshipping, and their family of three also knelt on the futon and worshiped the statue of the fairy girl.
When Gao Yang finished kneeling and bowing, as soon as he looked up, he saw the corners of the fairy girl's mouth move, as if he was giving himself a charming smile.
Gao Yang looked at the fairy girl in a daze, and stayed there for a while.
"Son, get up quickly! Others are still waiting in the back! Li Chunhua saw that her son was still kneeling there and looking at the fairy girl reverently, so she called her son.
Gao Yang came to his senses and quickly got up. But as soon as he stood up, he saw that there was a donation box in front of the statue of the fairy girl, and there was still a lot of incense money in it.
Of course, they are all coins or banknotes, and there are very few large ones.
Gao Yang didn't know what was going on now, and when he saw that others had donated money, he didn't hesitate to take out a piece of money from his pocket and go over. He didn't look at how big the denomination was. I thought it was ten yuan, but it was still in the cash box. Only then did I see that it was a red 100-dollar bill.
After Gao Yang still went in, he saw the denomination clearly. He regretted it a little, but he was embarrassed to take it back! So I had to do it.
Afterwards, thinking about his behavior was a little ridiculous, just because, the fairy girl smiled at him, and he 'threw a hundred gold'!
Gao Qianyuan saw that his son still had a hundred yuan, and he was also a little distressed! whispered to his son: "Why are you still so much, don't you see that others are still a dollar!" ”
"Forget it, when I paid for it. I didn't look at the denomination, I thought it was ten dollars! Gao Yang explained with a smile.
"Hey, you kid, you're so generous!" Although Gao Qianyuan felt a little sorry for the 100-yuan bill, he was still inside, and so many people were looking at it, so embarrassed to change it to a small denomination banknote!
"Son, okay, it's generous enough. Immortal Gu will definitely bless you with a lot of wealth. It was Li Chunhua who spoke, and she didn't feel sorry for the hundred yuan. Although she is more economical in eating and drinking, she can burn incense and worship Buddha. But it's not stingy at all.
It seems that this man has his own hobbies! Spending money on your hobbies is generally not distressing.
"Yes! Dad. Mom is right! Is there a return on investment? Look at the investment of tens of millions of dollars in the construction of this Xiangu Temple by the municipal government! Now that the incense of this Xiangu Temple is so vigorous, isn't it a reward for the city government! ”
Gao Yang doesn't care anymore. After all, he is also a rich man, how can he care about this hundred yuan! Yesterday, I gave a tip to those two security guards at the hotel and 200 yuan each! Only now did I give 'Fairy Gu' a hundred yuan 'tip'. That's too little!
"Alright, let's take a look at the other halls! I haven't burned incense in those two halls yet! "After Li Chunhua finished worshipping the fairy girl, she wanted to visit the fairy in the side hall again!
"Okay, then let's go to the side hall and have a look." After Gao Yang finished speaking, he took his parents to the two side halls.
The two side halls are dedicated to the statues of two 'male gods', one is the God of Wealth and the other is the Dragon King.
Gao Yang and his parents visited the God of Wealth and the Dragon King together, and then went out of the main hall and came to the outside of the hall.
Outside the main hall is a large open space, of course, now this open space will not be idle, because it is a temple fair, naturally there are all kinds of small trades. There are those who buy snacks, some children's toys, and some antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Now Gao Yang and his family have been around for a while, and they see that it is already noon. Gao Yang took his parents to a place to buy snacks and eat barbecue.
Eating far barbecue, Li Chunhua and Gao Qianyuan didn't want to be crazy anymore, and they felt a little tired. So he said to Gao Yang: "Son, why don't you go and have fun!" We're both here to rest and wait for you. You play a little longer, and we'll go back together. ”
Gao Yang listened and said, "Okay! Don't go around, I'll go around. ”
Gao Yang also came to the Xiangu Temple for the first time, and he wanted to see it again! I was just accompanying my parents just now, and I really didn't take a closer look at the scene of this temple fair!
After Gao Yang finished speaking, he went to the temple fair by himself again. He had little interest in those snacks. But I still have some interest in those antique calligraphy and paintings.
Now Gao Yang came to a stall where he bought antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and then stood there to see if there was anything good.
Gao Yang knows that he now has the ability Golden Pupil, which can not only see feng shui, but also have some effect on some antique calligraphy and paintings. Gao Yang really hadn't tried it before, but now that he has this opportunity, he still wants to try his strange abilities in front of the antique character screen.
It was a small stall and the owner was an old man in his fifties and sixties. It looks ordinary. Wearing an old tunic suit, he looks very similar to his father just by looking at it.
On its stall, there are many kinds of antiques, of course, the most is copper coins, all dynasties, large and small, quite complete.
The old man saw that Gao Yang wanted to buy his goods, so he greeted enthusiastically: "Little brother, pick and choose!" I'm an old man! The price is not expensive, buy it back, and ensure that the value will appreciate and make a fortune. ”
Gao Yang just smiled at the old man and didn't say anything.
Gao Yang took a look at it with his ability and found that there was nothing special, just some fake fakes. It looks old, but it's actually 'new'.
There are a lot of these 'new products', all piled up, and some are pressed underneath.
Gao Yang saw that these were just some fakes, so he flipped through them casually, but as soon as he made his move, he saw that there was a large copper coin under these pressed copper coins, and there was some pale green aura on it, as if a cloud of mist was permeating the surroundings of the copper coin.
"Damn! Is there still a baby? "Gao Yang saw that there was a layer of aura on the copper coin, and he knew that this copper coin was an 'old product'. Everything else is new.
As soon as Gao Yang saw the baby, he couldn't wait to get the big copper coin in his hand.
He looked closely at the copper coin and saw that it had a diameter of about three centimeters, and there was a square hole with a diameter of one centimeter in the middle. There are four traditional Chinese characters on the front - Qianlong Tongbao. It seems that this is a bronze coin from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
This copper coin is in Gao Yang's hand, and there is still a layer of pale green aura around his body, and it also exudes a patina, which seems to be an 'old product'.
"Hmmm! This copper coin is good, it is an 'old thing', if it changes hands, it should be able to make some money. Gao Yang is not short of money, he doesn't need to use his abilities to make money at all, if that were the case, he would have made a fortune a long time ago.
People have their own aspirations, and his hobby is to look at feng shui, so he has not used his abilities to 'pick up leaks'. It's just that I'm a little curious today and want to test my abilities. He knew that even if the copper coin was genuine, it would be worth tens of thousands at most, and the copper coin itself was a relatively cheap collection among antiques. Rare things are expensive, and copper coins were very common things in ancient times, so even in modern times, they are not considered valuable collectibles.
Gao Yang now wants to pick up the leaks, but he only has the mentality of playing, and he doesn't really want to get rich.
It's just that the boss saw that Gao Yang had taken a fancy to the bronze coin, so he enthusiastically introduced: "Little brother, good eyes, this is the best of these copper coins, you see that this copper coin is bigger than other copper coins, do you know why!" ”
The old man pretended to be an expert and scholar, and wanted to teach Gao Yang a lesson!
"I don't know! Can you tell me about it? Gao Yang deliberately pretended to be ignorant. Of course, he really doesn't know why this copper coin is so big, and his ability can only be used to see the authenticity of the antique, but he can't see the origin of the antique and some of the stories behind it!
"That's the case, don't you see that the inscription engraved on the copper coin is not Qianlong Tongbao, which means that this coin is a copper coin in the Qianlong period."
When Gao Yang heard this, he thought, aren't you talking nonsense, as long as you know the words, everyone can see that it is a copper coin in the Qianlong period.
"What era is the Qianlong era, it is the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, although we often say that the Kangqian era was prosperous, but in fact, the heyday of the Qing Dynasty was the Qianlong period.
Qianlong not only created the prosperous era of Qianlong, but also was the longest-reigning emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty and even in Chinese history. It can be said that he is one of the few emperors who have made achievements in ancient Chinese history.
Because Qiankun felt that he was amazing, he had some conceited feelings. He thought, I'm so great, I have to do something special!
One day, Qianlong personally went to the treasury to check the financial revenue. When he saw the mountains of copper coins, he thought, why don't you make them bigger! It's also convenient to circulate in this way! It doesn't take up space in the treasury!
At the same time, he also thought, since I created the prosperous era of Qianlong, I have to make something to commemorate it! Why don't you make some special copper coins?
So Qianlong issued an imperial decree, let the relevant officials supervise the creation of a batch of large copper coins, and also let the senior monk of Biyun Temple in Xiangshan, a suburb of the capital, Master Wuming to open these large copper coins, indicating that Qianlong was prosperous and the country was peaceful.
