Chapter 302: Agate Jade (1)
Luo Jianfeng said as he beckoned them upstairs, and Yang Kang realized that there was no elevator in this place, and Luo Jianfeng's house was on the ninth floor, so they had to go up.
"You've really exercised up and down every day." When Yang Kang climbed to the fifth floor, he said with emotion.
"Isn't it impossible?" Luo Jianfeng said, "I want to have money, and I will also buy an elevator room - by the way, little prince, is the house price expensive in the city now?" ”
"It's done!" Yang Kang said that he is not too impressed with housing prices.
The three of them gossiped and finally climbed to the ninth floor, Yang Kang took a breath and said, "It's not easy, your grandmother is also up and down like this every day?" ”
"Where!" Luo Jianfeng sighed, "My grandmother usually doesn't go out, and if she has to go out, she has to grind for a long time." As he spoke, he took the key and opened the door.
"Grandma, I'm back!" Luo Jianfeng said, and strode inside.
Inside, with its rudimentary furniture and miscellaneous items, an old woman with messy white hair was sitting on a dilapidated sofa and watching TV.
Hearing Luo Jianfeng's words, the old woman turned to look at him.
"Ah Feng is back." The old woman stood up tremblingly, and then, when she saw Yang Kang and the others, she immediately said, "Ah, you also brought guests back?" ”
"Yes!" Luo Jianfeng said as he walked up to the old woman, helped her sit down, and said, "Grandma, I sold that pillow of yours, come on, come, I'll introduce you - this is my classmate in high school." Don't look at him young, now he is the owner of his own shop. ”
"Hello, mother-in-law!" Yang Kang was busy saying hello.
"Good ......" The old woman's ears didn't seem to be very bright, and Luo Jianfeng spoke in a loud voice, but even so, it seemed that the old woman still had a hard time listening.
But Yang Kang greeted her, and she still knew.
"Ah Feng, you tell me, how much did the pillow sell?" The old woman grabbed Luo Jianfeng and asked anxiously.
"Grandma. My classmate gave me 50,000 yuan. Luo Jianfeng said busily.
"Amitabha!" The old woman listened. Busy chanting the Buddha with his palms together, he said, "Thank God, there are 50,000 of these." I can last for a while. Alas......"
"Mother-in-law. There should be a pair of pillows, and another one? Yang Kang asked busily.
"What?" The old woman asked busily.
Guo Fatzi looked at Yang Kang, when he just entered the door. He smelled a musty smell - he didn't care, but he learned from Dasha that Yang Kang had a strong habit of cleanliness and control, and when they were messing around with him, he strongly demanded that his clothes be neat and tidy, and his schoolbag should be cleaned up, which could be old and broken, but it must be clean and tidy.
This Luo Jianfeng's house, even if it is smaller, it is too dirty.
Luo Jianfeng also took a little effort to make his grandmother understand that Yang Kang wanted to ask her for another pillow.
"There's only one pillow for this." The old woman stammered.
"This can't be?" Yang Kang was stunned, the dowry from the pavilion was bedding, how could there be only one? It's absolutely impossible.
"Grandma, think about it!" Luo Jianfeng remembered that Yang Kang had just said that if he could find the other one, he could give him 200,000 yuan, his father's medical expenses, and his future life, but he was counting on another pillow.
He also felt that Yang Kang was reasonable, there was only one pillow, and the price was naturally greatly discounted, if he could find a pair, it would be another matter.
"It's useless, don't think about it, there's only one pillow for this." The old woman said, "But there is another thing, but unfortunately it is only half of it." ”
Yang Kang heard her say this, and was curious in his heart, and asked, "What else is it?" Half is half, you take it out and show it to me, and if you can, I'll take it too! ”
"You wait!" As the old woman spoke, she stood up and walked to the inner room with Luo Jianfeng, and after a while, she took out a rag baggage.
Yang Kang was curious, took it and opened it, and at a glance, he suddenly felt a little unable to come back to his senses, the bag was wrapped in it, and it was also a good silk agate woven with gold wire, but this time it was not a pillow, but the first square piece, he looked at it, the width was about one meter two, but the length was only one meter, and the other end obviously had traces of dismantling.
The pattern of the gold wire weaving at the top is still a magnificent peony flower, fancy and dignified, it is not ordinary at first glance, Yang Kang tried to use the Taiyin treasure to take a look, the treasure is pervasive, and through the red agate that originally looked dull, it was a bright and dazzling bright red inside.
This agate has been left for a long time, and it has not been properly maintained, and it looks like black and red glass, and it is still dirty. And the gold thread was stained with filth, and it did not regain its original luster and shine, and it looked lifeless, so that this treasure, which was supposed to be dazzling, now looks shabby, and seems to have been lost on the side of the road, and no one has picked it up.
"This is a mat?" Yang Kang asked.
"Yes, pillow mat, that's the mat." The old woman heard it clearly this time and said, "In the past, when we married our daughters here in Jinling, the quilt and pillow mats were indispensable in the dowry. ”
Yang Kang also knew that there was this custom, and nodded again and again: "Mother-in-law, you are right, but what about the other half?" Why was it demolished? ”
The old woman thought for a while, and then said: "This is a long time, I was still young at that time, young man, I must not have been as old as you at that time...... Alas......
At that time, I was still a big girl, and I had an older brother at home who married a sister-in-law, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be very powerful. ”
From the old woman's narrative, Yang Kang quickly figured out that when the old woman was young, her family was not bad, and her ancestors had some things in their hands, and the old woman's grandmother was a beautiful lady of a certain family during the Republic of China, and she was very knowledgeable, and this thing was what she secretly accumulated back then and was ready to leave to her grandchildren.
When the granddaughter-in-law entered the door, the old woman gave a pair of shrimp bracelets to the granddaughter-in-law.
The old woman also deliberately emphasized that it was gold, pure gold - but Yang Kang was in the antique business, and he naturally knew that if it was a shrimp bracelet in the Qing Dynasty, it would not be too heavy, of course, compared with the current kind of bracelet with only about 20 grams, the bracelet at that time was still very heavy.
A pair of shrimp bracelets, if it is the Qing Dynasty, it is estimated that there should be more than two taels, the Qing Dynasty shrimp bracelet is generally two taels one, but, at that time, it was sixteen taels for a catty, and now the port city sells gold, and occasionally this measurement method will be used.
However, the granddaughter-in-law was not satisfied, she was very jealous of the grandmother's love for her granddaughter, and when the granddaughter went out of the cabinet, the grandmother gave her a pillow and an old mat, and as a result, the granddaughter-in-law made a big fuss, and the grandmother had no choice but to take out the other head and give it to the granddaughter-in-law.
However, even so, the granddaughter-in-law still disagreed, and finally forcibly removed half of the mat and left it.
Yang Kang thought for a while and asked, "Mother-in-law, do you still have contact with your mother's family?" ”
"I was back and forth a few years ago." The old woman said honestly, "But, since my brother died, we haven't seen each other for five or six years. ”
Yang Kang looked at Luo Jianfeng, but Luo Jianfeng was mistaken, and asked a little anxiously: "Classmate Yang, do you accept this mat?" ”
Yang Kang thought for a while, and then said: "If there is a complete one, I will naturally accept it, but now it is only half of it......"
"Classmate Yang, you do a good deed, take it!" Luo Jianfeng hurriedly said, "Look, you have traveled so far and wide?" Even if it's cheaper......"
Yang Kang nodded and said: "Okay, now that your father is sick, and we are classmates, don't say anything else, just rush to the classmates back then, I should also help, I will accept this mat, just according to the price we originally said, do you think it is good?" ”
"This-" Luo Jianfeng listened, rubbed his hands again and again, and said, "Two hundred thousand? It's true? ”
Yang Kang nodded, he felt that he was just too soft-hearted, in fact, let alone 200,000 yuan for this mat, just give Luo Jianfeng 20,000 yuan, and he would be grateful.
However, in terms of the classmates of the year, and for the sake of the classmates who had corrected the test papers for him, he was still ready to be kind.
"I write a resale agreement." Yang Kang said, "Do you have pen and paper at home?" ”
It's just that poor Luo Jianfeng has not touched the pen and paper since he graduated from school, and he didn't find it after looking around, Yang Kang had no choice but to find a cigarette box and tear it open - I don't know where Luo Jianfeng found a pen and ink, Yang Kang tossed it for a while, so that it could be written.
In the end, after he wrote the transfer agreement and asked Luo Jianfeng to sign it, he also asked him to press his handprint with ink, and then packed up the resale agreement and the half of the mat, and transferred 200,000 yuan to Luo Jianfeng with his mobile phone, and then said: "Classmate Luo, do you know your grandmother's maiden family?" ”
"Been there!" Luo Jianfeng said, he looked at the 200,000 in the account, almost suspecting that he was in a dream.
"Can you go and ask their family, what about the other half of the mat?" Yang Kang said, "Look at it, just a pillow, it's complete, and now, half a mat - what do you want me to do?" If it weren't for the sake of my classmates, I really wouldn't have accepted it. ”
Luo Jianfeng thought for a while, and then said: "Classmate Yang, little prince, my uncle's house is not far from here, why don't we go over and have a look?" ”
Yang Kang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Immediately, he looked at the old woman and asked, "Your grandmother doesn't need to be taken care of?" ”
"No, grandma's hands and feet are still sharp, besides, I'll send you over, if the business is negotiated, I'll rush back later." Luo Jianfeng said. (To be continued......)
