(In case some book friends have poor patience and can't figure their heads, the white face said it first, followed by an interlude, not off-topic)

Sandwiched the briefcase, Yang Zongyi began to climb the stairs, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, in the past two years, the residential buildings in Tianjin City have jumped from 20 floors, all equipped with elevators, like this six-storey apartment building, it seems to be very broken, it is estimated that it is a house 20 years ago at the latest, and most of the people who can live here are in poor economic conditions, although the country of Datang will never allow the word "slum" to appear in politics, but Yang Zongyi still thinks that such a place is a slum. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

took out his mobile phone and glanced at the address on the memo again, Yang Zongyi confirmed that it was this one, and then knocked on the door.

He was greeted by a young man of about twenty years of age, very sloppy, with hair almost draped over his shoulders, a beard that had grown half of his face, no figure in his eyes, and a T-shirt with some kind of rock star stained on it with butter and beer, and although he was tall, he was definitely not the kind to be flattered in terms of image.

Yang Zongyi checked his mobile phone again and asked, "Is it Mr. Zhou Jian?" ”

The young man nodded and said, "That's right, it's me, you're from the auction house, come in." ”

Yang Zongyi took a step towards the back room, and then frowned deeply, because this hut, which may be less than forty square meters, is too messy, and the ground is full of unwashed clothes, socks, snack packaging, and all kinds of adult magazines, electronic devices, and so on.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Yang Zongyi, an appraiser at Baotongshun Auction House, uh. Mr. Zhou, you are a cocooner. ”

This term has been quite fashionable in recent years. With the improvement of national welfare. In addition, the economic growth rate has slowed down in recent years, and many young people do not work, either gnaw at home or simply eat the national minimum guarantee, they do not go anywhere, they stay at home, as if living in a silkworm cocoon, and their personal hygiene is very sloppy. His hobbies include movies, anime, web novels, and romantic action movies from Japan.

"Oh, what you say is what it is." Zhou Jian's face didn't have much expression, and he didn't seem to take anything like integration to heart.

He sat down and said, "You're here to authenticate antiques, don't bother with anything else." ”

Yang Zongyi nodded, he was just a small clerk in an auction house, and he really had no position to interfere with other people's lifestyles.

"So, let's get started, please Mr. Zhou, you show your collection, and I will appraise the value for you. If possible, please tell us about the origin of the collection. Yang Zongyi took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on. At least the professionalism is required.

Zhou Jian was very undignified, lying on the sofa on all fours, casually pointing to a wooden box on the messy table, and said, "This is it." ”

Yang Zongyi was a little disappointed, it didn't look like a box made of sandalwood or some rare wood, and naturally it was unlikely to be used to preserve anything valuable. At this moment, he can't help but slander, the antique collection market has been hot in recent years, and the annual transaction volume of major auction houses is astronomical, and his Baotongshun auction house is just a local auction house in Tianjin, which is not large, and such an auction house can obviously only fight for services.

As a result, like many new companies that advocate Internet +, their auction house has also opened an "online service", where collection customers only need to make an appointment online, upload the information and pictures of the collection, and let an appraiser like Yang Zongyi come to the door for appraisal. Yang Zongyi has not met some mischievous people, but now the company is customer first, even if he is pranked, he has to suffer with a smiling face, and what he wants is his reputation for good service attitude.

Suddenly, Yang Zongyi noticed a metal nameplate on the wooden box, which read "1779-1879, made by Zhou Junbao".

Yang Zongyi suddenly became interested, he seemed to be a little familiar with the name on the nameplate, and the electronic wall clock behind him showed the time of the present day - October 23, 1879.

"It's ...... Time capsules? Yang Zongyi asked tentatively.

The young man said: "That's right, this is something left by my great-grandfather a hundred years ago, and his request was opened in September of this year, and I just received it from my family a few days ago, and it was left for me." My ancestor was a soldier of the first generation of the Tang Dynasty, who participated in the Tang-Qing War in 1779 and was the first person to enter the Forbidden City of the Manchu Emperor. I've opened this time capsule, there aren't many things, a few bullet casings, and the medals he obtained, a diary of his army, and a snuffbox, I haven't looked through his diary carefully, but I think it may be some Manchu prince's minister's belongings, my ancestor's trophies, it should be worth a lot of money. ”

When talking about money, a trace of fire flashed in Zhou Jian's eyes, and Yang Zongyi felt very helpless. Today's young people seem to care more about interests, of course, not all the young people he knows are like this, but like Zhou Jian, there are really not a few people who want to get something for nothing and eat their ancestors' old books.

Yang Zongyi glanced at the enamel snuff bottle, did not pick it up, but reached out and carefully took the diary with the artificial leather cover, and said: "That snuff bottle is an object from the late Qing Dynasty, there are actually a lot of them on the market, I will give you an estimate later." However, I think the most valuable of these things should be this diary. ”

Zhou Jian was a little stunned and asked, "Why?" ”

Yang Zongyi said: "Although the official history of the Tang and Qing Dynasty wars a hundred years ago is very detailed, and there are also a large number of written historical materials and photos, but if it is really as you said, your ancestor was the first person to attack the Forbidden City, then what he recorded is very historically valuable, you know, many people have examined that many weapons that transcended the times in that war, and the origin of our Tang Dynasty has been kept secret by some people." Back then, a group of soldiers, many of them signed confidentiality agreements, and they were forbidden to talk about these contents, and your ancestor left a time capsule, probably to let the real history circulate. It would be of great value if some clues could be found in his diary. ”

Zhou Jian's heart became even more excited after hearing this, and asked, "How much can it be sold for?" ”

Yang Zongyi instinctively got a little tired of his words, and just said: "I don't know, but its own historical value may be immeasurable, okay, now let's take a look at what your grandfather wrote, maybe it can give a bombshell to the current historical circles." (To be continued.) )
