Chapter 41: Lao Zhou
“…… Little evil brother, this collector is very famous in our local area, and his gossip plate is worth five million. ”
Million! I gasped.
If we sell all of our Sanniu Village, it may not be worth five million. However, antiques are not easy to price, and they don't have to be sold by people.
"Old gray, you have a big face, can you discuss with him and make it cheaper?"
The gray mouse on the opposite side smiled bitterly and said:
"My face is worth 1,800, don't be embarrassed for me! Why don't I get in touch and you can meet. ”
There was no news of other artifacts, so I could only nod my head and agree, so soon the gray mouse took me to the collector's house, and the gray mouse told me that his name was Lao Zhou.
Lao Zhou's home is on a hill east of the town, and it is an antique small building, I don't know when it was built.
The yard is planted with rare trees, and there are deer and sheep walking, which is quite a bit of an out-of-this-world pastoral mood.
Before I could enter the door, the gray mouse said to me excitedly:
"Tsk, I circled such a large piece of land and bought this family business, and the boss took advantage of him for hundreds of millions this week."
I suddenly felt like I didn't have any artistic conception.
Rang the doorbell, Lao Zhou personally came to open the door for us, he was a middle-aged man with a red face.
He was slightly chubby, but not bloated, and wore a dark red Tang suit.
"Welcome, welcome! I heard from Lao Ash that Brother Han's eyesight is good, and I have to help Brother Han look at a few objects today. ”
Although Lao Zhou has a lot of money, he doesn't have a little shelf, he is a self-cooked, and I can't help but relax a little:
"Since you're here, you must see Brother Zhou's baby."
Lao Zhou's small building is full of his collection of antiques.
The large ones have bronzes, Buddha statues, Guanyin statues, and the small ones have antique vases, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, which are hung everywhere.
These are only on the surface of the first floor, the age and quality are quite average, and there must be more good things hidden in the secret.
Lao Zhou took us around and around, and finally came to his study, where several rows of large bookshelves were full of ancient books.
"Wait here first, I'll make you tea."
After saying that, Lao Zhou went out, and the gray mouse looked at the priceless ancient books, and sighed:
"Evil Shao, you said that the boss is good enough this week, he is so rich, he doesn't even hire an aunt who makes tea."
I also looked around and smiled:
"It's not that he refuses to invite, I guess he doesn't dare to invite, he just throws away one of the things here, it's enough to make tea for ten or eight years."
Soon, Lao Zhou came back with a tea set. Lao Zhou didn't say what this tea was, and I couldn't drink it, only the gray mouse praised it as a good tea.
After drinking tea, Lao Zhou took out a box with a lock, and took out the key from his arms to open the lock:
"This is a gossip plate, since the two of you are here for this, let's take a look at this first!"
As soon as the box was opened, inside was a black copper gossip plate with some green patina on it.
The gossip plate looks very old, it should be an antique of hundreds of years, and the edges and corners on it have been polished smooth, obviously it has been coiled for a long time.
But what I really care about is the delicate construction of the Bagua Plate, and the symbol that is almost smoothed out at the resting hand......
"It's a real artifact."
I took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in my heart and said.
Lao Zhou put away the gossip plate with a smile, and then asked me:
"Brother Han has good eyesight, I have found many people to identify, this is indeed a magic weapon used by Feng Shui masters in the Song Dynasty, I wonder if Brother Han thinks five million is worth it?"
I frowned and didn't answer immediately.
If it is only a magic weapon of the Feng Shui master of the Song Dynasty, in terms of its workmanship and integrity, it is naturally not worth five million. But this gossip plate, its owner is the evil man.
On the gossip plate, there is a faint aura of 'suppression', and it is also engraved with the unique incantation of the evil people. Although it is not from our Han family, it is also a powerful evil suppression weapon.
If you hang it at home, you can punish evil and ward off evil, and it is really not expensive to sell it for five million.
I hesitated for a long time, and finally let out a long breath:
"Five million is really not expensive at all, in the hands of someone who knows how to do it, even ten million can be sold, but unfortunately I don't have the money to buy it."
Lao Zhou smiled and put the box away, obviously he wasn't going to give it to me for nothing.
But I'm not going to give up:
"Mr. Zhou has so many antiques in his house, and some of them are ...... Stained with a strong smell of earth, I can't say what strange things will happen, I don't know if there is anything I can help? ”
The more antiques there are, the more stories behind them, and you will definitely encounter some strange things.
In the past, the gray rat had received a recliner and a cigarette pouch pot.
Every night, the recliner crunched and turned on its own, and the cigarette pouch and pot were set on the recliner, lighting the fire and smoking...... The gray rat who got up to pee at night and wanted to rest on the recliner was burned half to death.
In the end, I found an abandoned construction site and put these two things under the foundation for half a month, and they stopped being demons at night.
There are so many antiques in the old Zhou family, I don't believe that he doesn't need my help.
However, Lao Zhou smiled and said:
"Brother Lao Han bothered, but there is really nothing I need your help with, since I dare to accept these things, I must know some knowledgeable people."
I nodded awkwardly, people didn't need my help, and it was very frustrating.
Lao Zhou went to look through the bookshelf again, his bookshelf is actually an antique shelf, which is made of iron and wood very strong and thick, but there is a white mark on it, which should have been scratched recently:
"This gossip plate has other people's wants, and I have promised them first...... However, there is still an object to be sent over in a while, it is also a magic weapon, if Brother Han is interested, you can stay and take a look. ”
Before I could speak, the gray mouse agreed:
"That's a good feeling, interested, we're interested!"
However, I looked at the area that Lao Zhou was tidying up, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said:
"Still no, since this gossip plate has been booked, let's take a look at other places, and we don't have the money to buy it."
Lao Zhou said with a smile:
"Eh, it's easy to say that you don't have money, Brother Han, you help me palm, I'm not at ease, right?"
However, I still insisted on leaving, and although Lao Zhou was a little reluctant, he still sent us out.
Leaving Lao Zhou's small building and leaving the small hillside, the gray mouse was a little unhappy and said:
"I said evil young man, your temper is too anxious, let's wait...... Maybe you can use the thing you sent? ”
I shook my head and sneered:
"Wait? Wait any longer, I'm afraid I'm going to die, don't you see the white mark on his bookshelf......"
