Chapter 157: Coins (I)

When Aunt Lu gave birth to Lu Fuquan that year, she had a dystocia and hemorrhage, because the conditions were not good, she never made up for it, so that her health has been not good, and she can't do too heavy farm work, so she can only do housework at home.

Seeing this, Lu Fuquan hurriedly persuaded him: "Mother, don't say such frustrating words now, otherwise Chunni will be sad again when she hears it." ”

Chu Chen also comforted: "Auntie, don't think too much, I will definitely find a good hospital for my sister-in-law and completely cure her leg." ”

Aunt Lu said excitedly when she heard this: "Chen Wazi, you are really a good person, I really don't know how to thank you!" Wait, you eat first, I'll go get something." Speaking of zuihou, Aunt Lu didn't know what she remembered, said hello to Chu Chen, and hurried to her room.

Because he had walked for so long in the afternoon, Chu Chen felt very hungry, not to mention Chu Yulan, and after a while, the two of them ate their own big bowls of rice.

Seeing that the two of them were eating so happily, Lu Fuquan also had a smile on his face, and said, "Chen Wazi, do you want to add more?" ”

Although Chu Chen can indeed eat a little more, but there are only so many dishes, and Aunt Lu and they haven't eaten yet, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Brother Fuquan, no need, I will eat so much at home." ”

Chu Yulan is a girl, if she hadn't walked too much, she wouldn't have eaten so much, and she shook her head and said, "I'm also full." ”

"By the way, Chen Wazi, this girl is a younger brother and sister, you have been here for so long, why don't you introduce me to it?" Lu Fuquan asked with a smile.

When Chu Yulan heard this, she looked at Chu Chen with a slightly nervous expression. Seeing this, Chu Chen sighed secretly, and could only reply: "Brother Fuquan, you think too much, this is my sister, Chu Yulan." ”

Hearing this, Chu Yulan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

When Lu Fuquan heard this promise, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said in surprise: "Sister? Chenwazi, your own family? ”

Seeing Chu Chen nodding, Lu Fuquan couldn't help but say in surprise: "Chenwazi, congratulations so much, Uncle Guomin's wish for many years has finally been fulfilled." ”

Although Chu Chen was a little awkward in his heart, he still nodded in agreement.

At this time, Aunt Lu walked out of the room and asked, "What is done?" ”

Lu Fuquan explained with a smile: "Mother, Chenwazi's family has found it, and this girl is his sister." ”

Hearing this news, Aunt Lu couldn't help but feel happy for Chu Chen: "Okay, Chen baby, you are a good person and have a good reward!" Oh, this is for you, you have helped our family so much, we have nothing to report, although this thing is not worth a few dollars, it can be regarded as a little bit of our heart. ”

As she spoke, Aunt Lu handed a small cloth bag in her hand to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen hurriedly excused himself and said, "Auntie, I can't ask for this." ”

Aunt Lu forced the cloth bag into Chu Chen's hand and said, "Chen Wazi, this thing was left by the old man of my family, and it is some ancient coins. I used to hear Quanzi say, aren't you just tinkering with these old things, I thought, these things should be able to come in handy. ”

"Auntie, then I'll take a look first."

When the cloth bag arrived in his hand, he felt a little heavy, and it didn't feel like an ordinary banknote, which made Chu Chen feel a little interested.

Opening the cloth bag, Chu Chen carefully poured the contents on the table, and stared at it, all of them were all five thousand knives in the new reckless period!

"One knife flat five thousand", is the end of the Western Han Dynasty, a kind of knife coin minted in the new Mang period, divided into two parts of the ring handle and the knife body, the ring handle is a hole round money, the ring text is said to be "one", the next is said to be "knife", the word is engraved in the shade, the word is filled with gold, and it is polished, so that the word is level with the money surface.

The knife body is cast with the three characters of "Ping 5,000", of which "Ping" means "value", which means that the value of a knife coin is equal to 5,000. It is worth noting that the shape of this knife coin has a unique charm, and it is not confined to the shape of the knife coin of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the pointed knife shape was made. Ancient and steady, and revealing a beautiful atmosphere.

The five-character inscription "One Knife Flat Five Thousand" is written smoothly, vividly, and not sluggish, inheriting the characteristics of the "one-stroke" inscription on the coin during the Warring States Period.

"Brother, is this also a coin, why does it look like a key?" Chu Yulan looked at the knife on the table and asked with some curiosity.

Aunt Lu took over and said: "That's right, isn't the money in ancient times all that kind of round, I also said that it was not money, but my old man said that this thing is money, and what he said is very rare, and I have to put it carefully, maybe it can come in handy in the future." ”

Chu Chen smiled and said: "This is money, also called a knife-shaped coin, the name is called "One Knife Flat Five Thousand", as the name suggests, this knife-shaped coin has the value of five thousand "five plants" copper coins. ”

Hearing this, Chu Yulan said in surprise: "Brother, do you mean to say that this thing is really valuable?" ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Of course it is precious, this kind of currency is the currency minted by Wang Mang after usurping the Han Dynasty at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, you think about it, Wang Mang has only reigned for a total of sixteen years, and the amount of this currency can be imagined." ”

And the casting process used in this currency is very exquisite, the material used in the whole body is an alloy, and the knife coin has two words of gold casting "a knife", which can be used in real gold, so this currency is also called "gold wrong knife". ”

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, not only Chu Yulan was surprised, but Aunt Lu's mother and son were also stunned, they didn't expect that the things they had hidden for decades were really good things.

These coins in front of Chu Chen are indeed very precious, because the new Mang coins are slender, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and there are many varieties of coins, but the coins are generally based on hanging needle seals, and the style is fine and coarse, and the words of the coarse ones are flattened, and the production is inferior, and the contours of the fine ones are obliquely sharpened, and the strokes are thin and straight.

There are five thousand knives in the bag, there are ten pieces in total, the words on each knife coin are very clear, and they are all carefully made, and the wrong gold is also intact, and it is very well preserved, which is quite rare.

After looking through all the coins, Chu Chen opened his mouth and said, "Auntie, I can't accept such valuable things, otherwise I'll buy them." ”

Aunt Lu waved her hand again and again when she heard this, and said, "What kind of thing is this, I ...... it?"

Chu Chen interrupted Aunt Lu's words, and said with a sincere face: "Auntie, listen to me, this thing is really precious, if you must give it to me, it is impossible for me to accept it." So, I bought it for 8,000 yuan a piece, what do you think? ”

"How much?"

Hearing the price Chu Chen said, Aunt Lu had an unbelievable look on her face.

Lu Fuquan also said with a face of disbelief: "Chen Wazi, you are not lying to us, are you, just such a thing, it is worth eight thousand yuan?" ”

Chu Chen said affirmatively: "Brother Fuquan, it's eight thousand yuan a piece, how could I lie to you?" ”

When Aunt Lu heard Chu Chen's affirmative reply, she was not happy, but cried bitterly: "I'm really old and confused, I have already listened to the old man's words, Chunni doesn't have to suffer so much!" ”

Lu Fuquan hurriedly comforted: "Mother, don't cry, we don't understand this thing, how could we know that such a small thing would be so valuable." Besides, even if you sell it in the city, you can't sell it at the price given by Chenwazi, Chenwazi, don't you say? ”

After Chu Chen heard this, he nodded again and again.

Despite this, Aunt Lu still said with tears in her eyes: "Even if you can't sell it for this money, but there will always be twenty or thirty thousand, then Chunni can have surgery at that time, the key is that in this way, the study of the stone will be delayed!" ”

The stone is the eldest of Lu Fu's family, according to the fortune teller when he was a child, he lacked soil in the five elements, so he gave the name of Lu Lei, nicknamed Stone.

Lu Lei's academic performance has always been very good, according to his grades, he could have gone to high school, and even became the first college student in Lujia Village, but because of this incident, he could only choose to go out to work, which has always been a pain in the heart of Lu Fuquan's family.

Chu Chen listened to Aunt Lu's sad appearance, and also persuaded: "Auntie, things are like this now, just look away." As for Shi's studies, anyway, when he dropped out of school last semester, it was almost the end of the semester, and it hadn't started school yet, so it was too late to call him back. ”

"And now that it's 80,000 yuan, my sister-in-law will definitely not need so much for surgery, and the rest of the money is enough to buy supplements for my sister-in-law or the tuition fees of the two children."

When Aunt Lu heard this, her face immediately brightened, and she hurriedly instructed Lu Fuquan, "Okay, just do it, Quanzi, you will call Ah Ping tomorrow and call the stone back." ”

Lu Fuquan hurriedly nodded and agreed.

Originally, Chu Chen wanted to use his mobile phone to call Lu Fuquan, but he immediately thought that there was no base station for his mobile phone, so there should be no signal. He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, but there was no signal at all, so he had no choice but to put the phone back.

If you want to say that Lujia Village is here to talk about mobile phones, it is very troublesome to even make a call, because even the base station of the telephone has not been set up here, even if you have money, you can't install a phone, and if you want to make a call, you can only walk for half a day and go to the town to call.

Although the new school has now connected to the telephone, it is not a public phone after all, and even if it can be called, the parents of the students are reluctant to use the phone there.

"Brother Fuquan, let's make a contract, but if you have money, I can only give it to you tomorrow."

Lu Fuquan shook his head and said, "Chen Wazi, what kind of contract is there, I don't believe you yet." ”

"Brother Fuquan, it's not a question of believing it or not, let me tell you this, let's make a contract to prove that I bought this thing from your house." Chu Chen explained to him simply.

"Oh~"

Lu Fuquan nodded abruptly and said, "Chenwazi, if you make a contract, you can prove that you didn't get it from illegal channels, right?" ”
