Chapter 42: Picking up a big leak
Xue Fan was holding a snuff box in his hand, and he really couldn't see anything abnormal from the appearance, and there was a layer of yellow mud attached to it, but as soon as the thing arrived in Xue Fan's hand, he felt very familiar, not familiar with him, but the memory in his brain was very familiar!
In Xue Fan's mind, there is a memory of a nobleman of the previous dynasty, that character is the disciple of the Eight Banners of the previous dynasty, this person is simply an outlier compared to those children of the Eight Banners who carry cages and birds and do not learn countless things, his talent was also outstanding among the royal family of the previous dynasty at that time, and he was rumored to be the "three talents under its banner", which belonged to the ** that the imperial court focused on inspecting and cultivating.
He has served as a feudal official many times, has made great achievements in the local area, is open-minded, and supports reform! But it was such a top magnate back then, but he died in the hands of his subordinates, which can be described as extremely wronged, and his head was cut off by his subordinates after his death to ask for merit and reward!
This person's Han surname is Tao, and before he died, he said that his ancestor was a Han person, and the fact that his surname was Tao was a famous politician in the previous dynasty. In addition to politics, he is obsessed with antique collection, and is one of the famous collectors in the history of the Chinese Kingdom.
When Xue Fan picked up this snuff bottle, the memories of this snuff bottle came flooding back, this snuff box was the royal family at that time, and the official kiln at that time only fired a pair, one was rewarded to a prince at that time, and the other was given to someone surnamed Tao!
This shows that it is precious, but why does this thing appear here? This is what Xue Fan couldn't figure out.
Xue Fan's mood fluctuations were only a momentary thing, and then he calmed down, put down the snuffbox after playing with it, and continued to pick up other things to watch, others really didn't feel anything abnormal! But Xue Fan has already listed this snuff bottle as a must-buy! is even more secretly determined to get it.
"This big brother, I don't know where you got these things?" Xue Fan asked a very taboo sentence in this circle, generally this kind of words will not come out of the mouth of connoisseurs, because many of these things are not obtained through normal means, and the seller will not answer either.
But to Xue Fan's surprise, the young man just glanced at Xue Fan and said, "Do you want to buy it?" ”
Xue Fan smiled and nodded, of course he wanted to buy it, at least that snuff bottle had to be bought. Seeing that Xue Fan was very sure, the young man immediately showed a very happy smile and said, "I don't think you look like a bad person, it's okay to tell you!" This is a place that my father dug up in the suburbs of the capital a few days ago, and it looked like an antique or something, so he asked me to bring it here and sell it, if you want to buy it, I can give you a cheaper one. ”
Xue Fan was very surprised when he heard it, the antiques dug up? It can't be a tomb robber, right? Continue to ask: "Where did he dig it up in the suburbs?" ”
"It's not far from where we're going to build a new house, by the way, there are a few graves not far from there, they're so big, but I heard that no one has taken care of them for a long time." The young man replied fifteen-ten
Xue Fan listened to the young man's words and believed it, if the expected was not bad, those tombs should be the burial place of Lord Tao's descendants, otherwise they would not appear nearby, and the father of the young man in front of him might have really dug someone else's tomb.
"How are you going to sell this thing?" Xue Fan asked about the price
"Because there is a shortage of money to build a new house, and I can make up for the gap if I sell something, I don't know how much Lu Dao can sell, I just set up a stall, but no one asks." The young man said with a little embarrassment
"And how much money do you have left to build a house?" Xue Fan asked with a smile
"Hey, there's still about two thousand dollars left." The young man touched his head and said with a smile.
Suna has been standing by and watching, she doesn't know why Xue Fan is interested in these things full of dirt, listening to the words of the young man, she thought it was asking for two thousand
"You're not going to buy two thousand dollars for these broken things, are you?" Suna said a little surprised, with a little annoyance in her tone, this is too expensive, she really didn't see that these things are worth so much money.
When the young man heard the big beauty standing next to him who had been silent, he suddenly questioned, he looked very embarrassed, and his face gradually turned a little red, and he quickly explained: "No, no, it was this little brother who suddenly asked me to say this, I really don't want to sell for so much money!" ”
Maybe 2,000 yuan is really not much in later generations, but in the late 80s, the per capita monthly income in the city was generally only more than 100 yuan, and you can imagine how much 2,000 yuan is, not to mention that looking at the dress of young people, the family conditions are definitely not good, so 2,000 is already a lot for young people.
Xue Fan smiled and stopped Suna, who was about to speak, he found from the young man's words and deeds that he should not be lying, and this young man was still a relatively simple person, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry to explain.
"I'll pay a thousand dollars to buy all of your things, and I can lend you another thousand." Xue Fan said to the young man
The young man was very puzzled, even if he was very simple, but he was not stupid, it was the first time he had heard of such a thing as borrowing money from strangers for no reason, could it be that the young man in front of him had any other intentions?
"How could you lend me money?" The young man asked directly, his tone was a little cold, and he even felt that Xue Fan might be playing with him
"I'll lend you money on a conditional basis." Xue Fan looked at the young man's expression and guessed what he thought
Sure enough, the young man knew that no one would lend money to a stranger, and asked, "What conditions?" ”
"Don't think about it, I just found that the things on your stall look very similar to those left by my ancestors, I just want you to take me to see those graves, I'm sure!" That 1,000 dollars is your travel fee. Xue Fan said with a smile
Suna glanced at Xue Fan in surprise, how could it be possible, how could your ancestor's grave go to the outskirts of the capital? You are obviously from Jiangnan Province.
The young man felt that this deal was really cost-effective, that is, he could get a thousand yuan by taking the roadside, and he knew that his father couldn't earn so much in a year, thinking of this, he quickly nodded and said, "Okay, deal!" ”
Xue Fan hurriedly took out two thousand yuan from his pocket and handed it to the young man, who also packed the things on the stall and filled it into a big box.
It wasn't until he took the box in his hand that Xue Fan let out a long breath, and there were gradually people around him, he was really afraid that if he met a knowledgeable person, he would miss out on these things if he didn't get these things.
He had just found a few more antiques in this pile of things, some of which were left by Master Tao, and some others, and if he sold them, he would definitely get a lot of money.
And he said that it was also sincere to let the young man take him to see the grave, and if necessary, he wanted to do something for that Tao-sama.
At this time, a laugh came: "After a long time, you bought a bunch of rags!" The voice came from Liu Yu.
In addition, a voice sounded later: "It seems that the old has made many people look at it!" There was a sense of pride in his voice, it was Brother Shui's voice.
Xue Fan didn't get a little annoyed after hearing this, but said with a smile: "Everything will not be known until the most quaint is identified!" "He knew that he had definitely picked up a big leak today.
