Carrying a silk scarf wrapped in a scarf, he walked to the door of the Lin Mansion on Xin'an Street, and saw that the side door of the Lin Mansion had not yet been opened, knowing that those doors were hiding from the daylight, and thought that this servant was really a little lazy, so he went to the door and grabbed the door knocker with his hand, and knocked lightly a few times.

After a long time, I saw that the door squeaked open for a small half, and the door probe saw that it was a leisurely scene, and he knew that he had a hot fight with the second master of their family during this period of time, and often came and went, so he hurriedly came out with a smile and gave the curtain a salute, "The curtain is the father, today I want to find the second master"?

"Exactly, you lead the way in front of the head first", after speaking, the left hand of the curtain was idle from the small sachet on his waist, took out five cents and handed it to the manzi, "You take it to eat tea."

"Thank you for the reward", the man took the copper coin with a smile, carefully put it in his arms, and then bowed his head and bent down to lead the curtain into the door, and after covering the door, he led the curtain to be free

went to Lin Qizhang's Wutong Courtyard living room to sit and wait.

Let Menzi go to report Lin Qizhang, that scene has to sit in the living room, is thinking about how to talk to Lin Qizhang later, after seeing it, I heard Lin Qizhang's hearty laughter from the door, "Brother Mu, how can you have time to find a brother today, do you want to talk about poetry, or go to the Daoxiang Restaurant to eat wine?"

"Brother Qizhang, you have to come here today, you have something to discuss", the curtain hurriedly got up and stood.

I saw that Lin Qizhang was dressed in a cyan black-edged round-necked shirt, wearing a dark turban, leading two fifteen or sixteen-year-old scholars, swaying in, this Lin Qizhang is also in his early thirties, with a round face quite fleshy, fat and rich belly, and often boasting that he has a wide heart and a fat body.

After the two people sat down according to the ceremony, the two scholars gave tea to the two of them respectively, drank a few sips of tea, and Lin Qizhang saw the silk package on a few cases, thinking that before the same year, there were very few words on weekdays, and he did not participate in many entertainments.

After a while, the curtain got up and opened the silk package, "Brother Qizhang, the younger brother really has something to ask for today", the curtain felt a little embarrassed.

"Oh, brother Xian will talk about it first, if you can do it for your brother, but you can't say anything", Lin Qizhang saw that in the open package, there were 7 things of different colors, rounded and patterned, not like a box, but like an elongated and flattened goose egg, but the two ends were very symmetrical, and there were patterns all over it.

"Brother Qizhang, do you know that there is a child in the family of the younger brother of Lu Dao, he was suffering from tuberculosis, and Du Langzhong in the east of the city asserted that he would die soon", the curtain is still a little damp when he thinks about it. "It's just that the sky is pitiful, the younger brother met a stranger in the first half of the year, and the stranger came to the rescue."

"Inhuman? What happened to Ziyuan's nephew?" Lin Qizhang was a little surprised, he didn't mention this matter when he chatted with Mude a few days ago.

The curtain turned around and arched his hand to the east, "After the Yiren came to the rescue, Ziyuan he has already recovered, that Yiren likes bone Dong and ancient books, the younger brother's family has no long things, and the younger brother has this."

Similar objects, so I hereby ask for a cheeky face, please call Brother Haihan".

After speaking, Mu Dexian picked up one of the "goose eggs" from the package, broke his hands, and listened to the "snap", "This is the reading glasses given by the stranger, that is, my Ming Ming's sling, please see it."

Lin Qizhang took the object with both hands and found that it was actually a box, but this box was too delicate, the texture was non-iron and non-wood, and there were patterns carved on it, and it was two and a half years up and down

The box also has metal edging, the same as the fasteners on the box, I don't know what kind of metal the road is made of, hard and white, cool and smooth to the touch.

In that box, there was not a single mirror, but a double lens, and the lens was not round, but somewhat oval-shaped, rectangular, and the frame was not a paper circle, patent leather, or noon

Horns, tortoiseshells, copper rings, etc., but materials that are somewhat similar to the texture of cow horns.

And the bottom of the box was covered with a layer of black flannel, which seemed to have some patterns painted with silver silk threads, seeing this, Lin Qizhang couldn't help but let out a soft "huh".

……

The family members of the Lin Mansion put the boxes on the square table in the living room, and gave them a few dozen yuan, and then sent them back, sat on the chair and listened to the sound in the west wing, seeing that when the clock was approaching, the Daoist Master knew that the class was about to end.

Sure enough, soon I heard the sound of Huangshi's "class" in the west wing, and then there was a group of children's laughter and noise, and at the beginning of the curtain there were opinions on Huangshi's teaching of children in vulgar characters, in his opinion, these vulgar characters can only be used, not for the body, if they participate in the imperial examination in the future, and they are not destined to fall into the name of Sun Shan.

Who knew that Huang Shi not only didn't listen to his advice, but also didn't let Mu Dexian teach them a thousand characters and a hundred family names, instead of learning from the 600 words he got from the fairy world, saying that this is the rule of the fairy world, and Mu Dexian has already entered the sect, so he has to act according to some rules.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw that Huangshi had already hurried in, and he wanted to salute, but he heard Huangshi say, "No need to be polite", "Things can be done"?

"Back to the master, the matter has been done, and on the table is the bone Dong object that the Lin family gave back", the curtain replied idly, "The 7 reading glasses sent by the disciple this time are just for the old lady."

Choosing one of them to be replaced, who knew that when the old lady saw these 7 pieces, he was very happy, and discussed with his disciples to exchange the bones and ancient books."

The curtain paused for a moment, and then said, "Old lady Lin personally led the disciple to his study to pick out some rare books and porcelain products from the Song Dynasty, and the disciple made his own decision to exchange them all.

Please surrender to the master", after speaking, he bowed down and bowed to Lu.

In fact, when Mrs. Lin mentioned it in Lin Qizhang's study at the beginning, not only did he not want to see it, but he was also a little angry, but after hearing his son talk about the exquisiteness of the thing, and seeing the real thing, he changed his mind.

Huang Shi lifted him up, and said with a smile, "Leisure, what are your crimes, what are your crimes, but you have made a great contribution, come, let's see what the Lin family has returned"?

After talking about Huangshi and the two of them, they walked to the side of the pile of wooden boxes, these large and small seven or eight boxes, made of bamboo thin boards into fetal bones, light and even, the appearance of old red color, the inside is black, smooth and round, the painting on it is a colorful cloud auspicious map, showing an auspicious atmosphere.
