Volume 1 The Mystery Mountain of the Big Dipper Chapter 2 Jade Mantang
There is an antique courtyard-style building name "Yumantang" in the southeast corner of the South Park, this Yumantang is very magnificent, the rockery and flowing water are antique, the pavilions and pavilions are scattered, the flowers and trees of the four seasons are readily available, not to mention that in the whole Liangxi City, it is the classical garden style courtyard that can rarely be compared with the Yumantang in Nanjiang Province.
Shen Yifan and Fang Zi sat in an octagonal pavilion in the garden and drank tea, Fang Zi looked around at the scenery in the garden and said, "This rich man's life is really unimaginable. ”
Shen Yifan didn't seem to be surprised, looked at the scenery in the garden and said: "The south enters the Songbei Cunshan Mountain, and the lake is a little coquettish." It seems that this is what Feng Shui everyone has pointed out. ”
"Good eyesight." A capable man came from a distance, about 60 years old, dressed in a Tang suit, holding a purple clay pot in his hand, smiling kindly at Yifan, and walking over with vigorous steps.
As soon as Shen Yifan and Fang Zi saw the person, they immediately got up and said, "Master Jin." ”
This person is Taishan Beidou in the antique world of Liangxi City, and Jin Wanli, the big boss of Yumantang.
Jin Wanli waved his hand and said, "Sit!" Saying that, he sat down and looked up and down, Shen Yifan said, "I already know your intention." ”
Shen Yifan put the jade in his hand on the table and said, "There is Lao Jinye's palm." ”
Jin Wanli nodded, put on white gloves, carefully picked up the jade from the table, and looked at it carefully, and was amazed while looking at it.
Fang Zi has been in Nanyuan for many years, although he is not famous, but after all, he has been in this circle for a long time, and he is also very familiar with Jin Ye, he saw Jin Ye with teeth in his mouth, and asked cautiously: "Jin Ye, is there any problem?" ”
Jin Wanli didn't answer Fang Zi's question, looked at Shen Yifan and said: "This piece of jade is very strange, look at this jade should be from Lantian Mountain, Chang'an, Lantian jade is not a jade with good quality, but looking at the jade bi, the pulp has been very long, if I am not mistaken, it should be an object from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but ......"
When Fang Zi heard this, he hurriedly said, "Master Jin, how much can this jade be estimated?" My buddy is anxiously waiting for this money to pay off the debt. ”
Jin Wanli paused and smiled slightly and asked, "Have you noticed anything strange about this jade?" ”
Shen Yifan said without thinking: "This piece of jade is not complete. ”
Jin Wanli nodded and said: "Since ancient times, Huaxia has believed in the garden of heaven and earth, and the format of the general jade in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is basically the outer circle and the inner square or the outer square and the inner circle, and this piece of jade is neither square nor round when it is hollow and carving, what shape do you think it looks like?" ”
Fang Zi looked at it from the side and said, "It's a bit like a quarter circle." ”
"So this piece of jade should be a quarter cut out of a whole piece?" Shen Yifan asked.
Jin Wanli looked at the four sides of the jade bi and said, "It may be a piece of sixth, you can see ......," he said, handed over the jade bi, pointed to the four sides, and said: "Only the bottom of these four sides is relatively rounded, and there are three sides, although they are also rounded by time, but it can still be seen that the cutting edge burr is more stiff." ”
"What does this mean?" Fang Zi listened to it with a half-understanding.
Shen Yifan said: "What Jin Ye means, the piece of jade in my hand may be a piece cut from a whole piece of jade, and it is very likely that a rectangular piece of jade is cut into six or several pieces horizontally and vertically. ”
Jin Wanli nodded and said, "What we can be sure of now is that your piece of jade is part of the following." ”
Shen Yifan said with a smile: "If it is a whole piece of jade, it is priceless, but now the jade in my hand is only a part of it, unless someone in this world is collecting this whole piece of jade, otherwise I can't sell it for a good price in my hand alone." ”
Jin Wanli smiled slightly, took out a check from his pocket, filled it out for a while, and said: "Although few people buy this jade alone, after all, it is an object in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so that you will put this object in Yumantang, one day someone asks for me, you can help you get a good price, this is 100,000 yuan, you take it to the emergency first, when our Yumantang gives you a deposit for this jade, and then the jade is sold, I will not pay more than a penny, and then I will return the 100,000." Brother Shen, what do you think? ”
Shen Yifan nodded and said, "Okay!" I really thank Jin Ye this time. ”
Fang Zi also gave a thumbs up on the side and said: "Jin Ye is Jin Ye, in this Liangxi City, who else dares to call it the first when you say that Jin Ye is the second." ”
Jin Wanli smiled and pointed at Fang Zi and said, "You kid has a sweet mouth." As he spoke, he called the housekeeper beside him: "The river water called the kitchen to prepare, and I will leave Brother Shen and Fang Zi to come down for dinner." ”
Shen Yifan hurriedly refused when he heard this, firstly, Jin Wanli helped him with this great favor and stayed a little reluctant to eat, and secondly, since he had money, he hurriedly repaid the loan shark, and he always felt that he had to deal with it before he felt at ease, and he wanted to tell the reason for refusing Jin Wanli's kindness.
Jin Wanli laughed when he heard it: "That's it!" Easy to do. After saying a few words with his housekeeper, the housekeeper nodded and left, Jin Wanli pulled Shen Yifan and said: "The so-called meeting is late, Brother Shen, I and you are like each other at first sight, and today let the old man do his best to be a landlord." ”
Shen Yifan looked puzzled and thought to himself: "What's wrong with me and him, it's like acquaintance at first sight." Big brother, you are familiar at first sight, so have you asked me how I feel, I don't want to eat with you. ”
Jin Wanli didn't notice the expression on Shen Yifan's face at all, and said to Fang Zi: "You guys are blessed, the hairy crab sent from Yangcheng Lake this morning, I asked someone to heat two pots of daughter red and let us take a few sips." ”
When Shen Yifan heard that he was going to drink, he secretly complained in his heart: "Don't do this!" Is this uncle a lonely empty nester? How to catch an individual so heroic and generous. ”
Although Shen Yifan looked unhappy, he still couldn't refute his face, so he had to walk into the restaurant with a smile and sit down with Jin Wanli, and the dishes came up after a while, in addition to the hairy crabs, there were also a few snacks and snacks, and two pots of rice wine should be what Jin Wanli said, and the daughter red with ginger shreds has the effect of driving away the cold. There was nothing to say, and after the banquet was over, Shen Yifan and Fang Zi had already drunk and staggered, Shen Yifan's drunken eyes looked over and drank about a dozen bottles on the table, and Fang Zi had already fallen asleep on the sofa next to him. Although Shen Yifan was a little sober, he was also drunk, he staggered after a while, and after a while, he didn't know what happened, Jin Wanli was also drunk, and he was helped back to the room by his subordinates, and kept muttering.
As soon as Jin Wanli entered the room, he was completely drunk, looked at his housekeeper Jin Heshui and asked, "How is it?" ”
Jin Heshui said: "I've checked, Shen Yifan came to Liangxi City last year, and when he came to Liangxi City, he had nothing but his ID card and he had amnesia. Runs a private detective agency called the Dragon Hunting Society. Business is not very good, I owe a lot of money recently, and I guess I have no choice but to think of selling jade. Master, why do you ...... Shen Yifan?"
Jin Wanli smiled slightly and said: "The feng shui mantra he said in the courtyard is the mantra in the "Exploration of the Tibetan Sutra", and the content of this book is only known to the disciples of the two brothers of the Dong family of the Eight Gates of Guigu. ”
Jin Heshui was shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that he and the master are in the same door?" ”
Jin Wanli said to himself: "But how can he have a magic talisman jade in his hand? ”
Jin Heshui asked, "Master, what should we do next?" ”
Jin Wanli thought about it and said, "Put the magic talisman jade bi and sell it all over the hall." ”
"Understood!" Jin Heshui nodded.
After Jin Heshui left, Jin Wanli made a phone call and took the microphone and said, "The third piece has appeared." I don't know for the time being, this kid came to Liangxi last year, so there is basically no bottom line. I know what to do. Don't show up for the time being, I'll let Yu'er come back. ”
The words were divided into two ends, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes in an office building in Guzhou City put down the phone and leaned back thoughtfully, and another middle-aged man next to him asked, "What is the matter with Jin Wanli?" ”
"The third talisman jade has appeared."
"What? In whose hands? ”
"A young man named Shen Yifan brought it over."
"Shen Yifan? Haven't heard of it. ”
"Jin Wanli didn't find out his details."
"Do you want to tell Yanjing?"
"Don't worry, I'll talk about it when I find out."
Shenhu City, there is a beautiful open-air café along the river commercial street, a long-haired girl is drinking coffee by the river, Arnold's figure leans on the sofa and looks at the distance of the Pujiang River with a pair of clear eyes like water, the river breeze blows her hair slightly to show the red and charming face, wearing a shoulder-length dress and a beige semi-windbreaker can see that this girl is very capable.
At this time, a young man wearing a pink shirt and a black suit came to sit down in front of the girl, put down a brown paper bag and said: "This is the information you want me to find, this kid is whiter than a white cat, the address on the ID card is the demolished urban village There is no clue at all, and the police station and the public security bureau have searched all over but there is no information about him." It seems that he only started to leave traces after he appeared in Liangxi City last year, and there were no traces before that. Oh...... That's right," the boy seemed to think of something, took out a photo and said: "Last year, he participated in a photography training at the Liangxi Labor Bureau, but he didn't find any educational experience other than this." This is a photo of him graduating from his photography class. ”
The girl took it and looked at it and said, "Could it be that he only graduated from junior high school?" ”
"Maybe I just didn't go to school." The young man added, took a sip of coffee and sneered: "I have been doing research for many years, and I have never had any traces of life for more than 20 years. Unless it's a visitor or a ......"
The girl and the teenager said in unison: "Deliberately conceal it." ”
The boy said: "This kid seems to have started living a normal life last year. The person he crossed paths with the most in Liangxi City was Gu Moxuan's Fang Yong, and he didn't know exactly how Fang Zi met, but the two of them went to the photography class at the same time. As he spoke, he pointed to the photo.
The girl nodded and said, "Gu Jie, you can help me check the background of several classmates when he was learning photography." ”
The boy nodded and stood up and left, while the girl fell into deep thought. The girl is Jin Wanli's daughter Jin Jiyu, and when she received a call from her father, he began to investigate Shen Yifan. Shen Yifan became a mystery in a specific circle, and the mystery in Shen Yifan's heart was his own past.
In the guest room of Yumantang, Shen Yifan looked at the rubbing book that Jin Wanli brought and said: "This should be the extension of the Guiguzi descending mountain, but this is the extension of the stele, and it should be an inscription." Looking at the year, it should be the extension of the last years of the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China. ”
Jin Wanli said with a smile: "Brother Shen really has good eyesight. Although this extension is not valuable, the things behind this extension are very strange. ”
Shen Yifan nodded and said: "There are a total of nine works recorded in the Guiguzi descending map, four of which have been privately collected, and a Yuan blue and white Guiguzi descending picture was auctioned at a sky-high price of 100 million yuan abroad, and it is rumored that there is a secret hidden in the picture of this porcelain. ”
Jin Wanli said with a smile: "Guiguzi is an extremely mysterious character, when a character is mythologized, all his related things and things will be mythologized. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about these boring topics." Jin Wanli said again: "Are you and Fang Zi still used to living here?" ”
Shen Yifan smirked embarrassedly and said, "It's really embarrassing to stay here for many days to eat and drink." ”
It turned out that after Shen Yifan and Fang Zi went to find Jin Wanli, they had been living in Yumantang. Jin Wanli eats and lives well, and he also takes some antiques, calligraphy and paintings to communicate with Shen Yifan every day, Shen Yifan is also a little depressed after a week, feeling that he is under house arrest by Jin Wanli, but he can't have a seizure, anyway, he has no place to live now, and he feels that it is not bad here, so he stays, these days, Jin Wanli has been studying the matter of Guiguzi with Shen Yifan, and he has been like this for several days, and I don't know what he means.
Fang Zi went to the store during the day because he had to take care of Gu Moxuan, and returned to Yumantang at night to have a few drinks with Shen Yifan and Jin Wanli. In the evening, the three of them were drinking and talking about this morning's affairs, at this time, the housekeeper Jin Heshui hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words in Jin Wanli's ear, Jin Wanli's face slowly became solemn when he listened, and after Jin Heshui finished speaking, he hurriedly got up and said goodbye to Shen Yifan and Fang Zi and left. made Shen Yifan and Fang Zi confused.
Fang Ziyi waved his hand and said, "Come to Brother Fan, let's continue to drink." Ignore it. Jin Ye is very busy, and it is normal for emergencies to occur. ”
Fang Zi's full name: Fang Yong, who has been a special soldier of the mountain division special combat team for five years, has worked as a worker and security guard after changing jobs, but it is not very long, because Fang Zi's family has been a big court in the pawnshop for several generations, so it is natural to enter the antique industry, and it is lucky, although the business is not getting bigger and bigger, but it is also bearing, although Gu Moxuan is small, it is also his own one-acre and three-point land, Fang Zi's title is obtained by his peers in Nanyuan, and he has been used until now. Shen Yifan came to Liangxi City last year and the first thing he met was Fangzi, at that time Fangzi was targeted by a few thousands of people in the industry, Shen Yifan just arrived here and added amnesia, he didn't think much about helping Fangzi at all, and after that, he had been helping Fangzi's shop and became a friend, and Shen Yifan's only friend in Liangxi.
