Chapter 1 From the depths of the mountains
"Two Rivers! Bring me a bowl of sorghum white! β
As soon as I thought of this sorghum white, I came up with such a gluttony, and looked at the inner hall except for the cleaning aunt who laughed at me, but I didn't see any other shadows.
I closed my half-coat and prepared to pour myself a bowl.
I have an uncle, surnamed Gu, made a fortune at a young age, is quite famous in this place in Beijing, in this Beijing Panjiayuan inside and outside have opened shops, the shop outside is small, is a hardware shop, the garden is big, can have more than 800 square meters, the plaque at the north gate reads: guest antiques; The plaque on the east gate is called: Golden Cabinet Pawnshop.
Ordinary outsiders enter the park, regardless of whether they ship or buy, they are panicked before entering Panjiayuan, so they will generally find a small storefront, preferably not an antique shop.
A plate of this antique faΓ§ade who sees the goods.
Who has a big faΓ§ade in this Pan home in Erpan.
Therefore, this hardware shop is open outside the park, the foot of the shop is conspicuous, and the inside and outside of this door looks ordinary, which has become the preferred place for many owners who enter Beijing to stock goods.
Besides, my antique store, the first in Panjiayuan, is also the largest, the most full-fronted, and the best-decorated store, as long as you enter the garden, no matter whether you are wandering around casually, or there are goods to sell, you have to walk in and take a look.
And the same is true of the pawn shop at the East Gate, which is facing the alley of East Street, and you can see it at first glance from that side.
I like to stay in the pawn shop on the east side, lying on my wicker chair and seeing the handsome little daughter-in-law in the shop opposite.
These two locations are truly stunning!
But usually this garden is also crowded, today is a little lonely, half a day without a person, I have practiced for eight years and there is no place to give, how boring it is.
I guess the guy in the store ran out to play again.
When I was worried, I saw a person outside the row looking into the room, and without looking at any other place, he craned his neck at me.
When I looked at the dress from afar, it was the serious migrant worker comrades entering the city!
I can't be too pompous, otherwise I will scare the migrant workers! I cleared my throat in the room and walked out with my hands behind my back.
"I've been watching you for a long time, come in and have a sip of herbal tea! There's nothing to see outside, so let's come in and have a look! I stood in the doorway, trying to make my smile as relatable as I could, and I saw that he had something to say, and then I made a gesture of please into the room.
When he looked at me, his eyes sparkled.
Yo! My heart sank, I'm afraid I've met an old fox, honest migrant worker comrades don't have this kind of look, yo, look at that spiritual head, double enough!
I saw that there were not many people in this garden, so it was better to let this old brother come in and accompany me for recreation.
The old brother was not ambiguous, three steps and two steps, stepped on the steps of my pawn shop, look at this, his legs and feet are quite neat.
As soon as I came in, this old brother grabbed my hand as if he was visiting relatives, and I felt like he was about to burst into tears.
I said that you are in a hurry, this boat and car have been tired all the way and have not tossed lightly, so come into the house and sit and rest.
So be it, let him take hold of my coat, and lead him to the back room of my guest.
My uncle taught me the kung fu of reading people and goods, and although this person didn't say that he carried a bag or a bag like others, I looked like this thing was hiding it in his mouth.
"Big brother, you sit down first, I'll pour you a drink!" Once you're in the house, you won't be able to get out of this door! I had a calculation in my heart, and then hurried to the barrel of sorghum white to get a glass first.
This person is like this, whether you are anxious or unable to sit still, but whenever you sit there, you have to drink a few cups of tea honestly before leaving.
I made tea for this old man, and I put my own wine.
When my brother smelled the wine, his eyes were about to fall out, and he stared at the sorghum white in my cup, and his mouth clicked for a long time.
"Gotcha!" I turned around and put a glass on it.
The wine has been drunk, and the people have rested, so this time I have to say whatever I ask.
I straightened my clothes and sat with my chest upright, and at this time I had to put on a posture to let him know that wine could not be drunk in vain, and it was time to get to the point.
"Where did my brother come from?" I asked, taking a sip of liquor and staring at his face.
"Lao Tzu is from Shaanxi!" The old brother suddenly straightened his waist and made a gesture to drink the glass of white wine.
When I hear this accent, isn't this a Beijing accent?! How can there be a little Shaanxi accent, for a long time, this grandson is here to entertain me! I was very upset and about to have a seizure, when suddenly I felt a little familiar between his eyebrows.
I pressed his hand to raise his glass and looked at it for a long time.
The more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes, although this old brother has a little black mud in the corners of his eyes and a scruffy beard, but no matter how I look at it, I think this person has seen it somewhere.
"What's the matter, can't you remember me coming?" He chuckled, then took off his navy blue cloth hat and dipped his fingers in some wine and wiped it on his face.
When I saw him like this, I remembered that the person in front of me was my hair! The one who grew up wearing a pair of pants has small hair!
"Yan Liang!" I didn't hesitate at all, this person is Yan Liang, Yan Liang and Yan Liang.
In his early years, his father ate Zhao'er in Beijing and hid in my Uncle Gu's house for a month, but later he was afraid of causing trouble to Uncle Gu, so he dragged his family and ran away, which was quite far away, and he ran directly to Shaanxi.
"Why are you so virtuous now?" My face bloomed with joy, I haven't seen this for more than ten years, this look hey, it's all changed!
Yan Liang waved his hand: "You mentioned it!" He took out his other hand, drank the cup, and told me about the events before and after they fled to Shaanxi.
ββββββββββ
Yan Liang's father's name is Yang Sanhua, the second in the family, he was a soldier in his early years, and he was broken with a gun on the battlefield and broke the big tendon on his left leg.
Don't look at this Yang Er's lame appearance, I think that he was a big family in Beijing back then, his family was rich and powerful, and he was also a legendary figure who could call the wind and rain and kill both black and white.
That year, a few old hats suddenly came out, claiming that there was a tomb in their hometown, and they brought a few gold leaf jade pieces with them.
Originally, those people came directly to my Uncle Gu by name, saying that my Uncle Gu saw things accurately, but who knew that he was intercepted by Yan Liang and his father halfway, and the business was not good that year, and Yang Er's lame man was also scared by this world, so he had to do this.
Not only did my Uncle Gu not mean to blame, but he slapped Yang Er's lame fart and said to those people dressed in the countryside: This master sees things accurately and knows ancient things, so let's talk about him!
Yang Er's cripple didn't dare to say anything else, so he could only laugh: You pass! You've got to get it!
Actually, this Yang Er cripple didn't know that he had fallen for Uncle Gu's trick back then.
My Uncle Gu's real name is Gu Shitong, and he deliberately praised this Yang Er in front of people, which was also intentional.
Uncle Gu is in the capital, there are always people who want to make a stumbling block for Uncle Gu, Uncle Gu has been mixed with the ** lake for half his life, he wants to use this word to throw a stone - listen to the sound.
Sure enough, as soon as Uncle Gu said this, those old hats really thought that Yang Er's cripple was the Gu Shitong they were looking for!
So, he followed Yang Er's lame into the Yang family's mansion, and along with him there was Uncle Gu, my Uncle Gu is a vigilant person by nature, he wanted to see what the origin of this group of people called himself to see the goods was.
After a few people sat down, Yang Erlame immediately ordered the dim sum tea reception arrangement.
Those few people were not the slightest bit defenseless, and hurriedly took out a small green copper stove from the rag pocket they carried with them.
The copper furnace is small and exquisite, the fireside is surrounded by nine dragons, finely carved, and the foot of the furnace has auspicious cloud ring pillars, I have to say that this workmanship is definitely the best of the best.
Yang Er's eyesight is not so good, he is about to hand this copper furnace to my Uncle Gu to see, my Uncle Gu will see that this is worth it, if it is handed over to him, this will not make people think: He is more powerful than Gu Shitong in front of him?
Uncle Gu turned his brain, and then pointed to the copper furnace and praised: "Good things, good things!" Hold on to your feet! β
When Yang Er lame heard this, the object that Uncle Gu was full of praise must not be ordinary, and then he put the copper furnace in his hand and turned it three times, staring at the copper furnace silently.
This is a small trick to see the goods, in fact, this bowing his head and not making a sound is to find out something wrong with the idea of this thing for him, otherwise the good thing is just saying that the price is lowering, and the guest should not buy it.
This is upside down and upside down, and it is upside down, and there is a smack in the mouth, which makes my ancient uncle upset. Those old hats stared nervously at Yang Er's lame face, wanting to ask but not daring to ask, for fear of interrupting the train of thought of "Gu Shitong".
Uncle Gu was observing these people on the side, sneering in his heart.
"Look, there is a scratch on the foot of this furnace, and this auspicious cloud is ominous!" If you want to say that Hu Kan, Yang Er's lameness, still has some ability, he really found something wrong immediately, as soon as the words fell, people were not happy, and immediately one person stood up and said that Yang Er's lame man was doing tricks.
Seeing that the fight was about to start, an old hat who sat silently said: "This stove is nothing, we have that and that, if you think you can see it, you go and take it all away, we still rely on this to eat!" β
When Yang Er lame heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he put down the stove and said straightly: "What my brother said is, how can we just look forward with this eye..."
The atmosphere is back again, Yang Er's cripple is not lazy, he immediately asked his subordinates to prepare wine and meat, and he wants to have a drink with these old hats and my uncle Gu in the evening, and then plans to leave for Xichuan, the hometown of these old brothers, ββββ the next day.
At night, Yang Er's lame man's house was brightly lit, and you came and went on the table of several people, and this Yang Erlame tried his best to talk about the Xichuan Ancient Tomb, and those old brothers were unwilling to give the truth, so they had to let Yang Erlame go to see it in person.
Yang Erlame saw that this question didn't taste good, so he took a look at Ming'er, thinking so in his heart, he gave up asking again, and he drank a lot of wine this time.
Yang Er's lame man's amount of wine is really massive, and after a few pushes and changes the cup, he drank those old hats dizzy, and then asked his subordinates to carry the guest room.
Seeing this, Uncle Gu also pushed Yang Er's lame man aside, and he had something to say.
"Yangzi, Ming'er, are you really going to take a trip?"
"Walk! I'm going to have to see if there's anything else in that tomb! Yang Er's cripple blushed.
"That's what you do, I don't think anything about this is wrong, if you really go, bring more brothers, just in case!" Uncle Gu's worry was written on his face.
Yang Er's lame body staggered, and he sneered: "Come on, I'll see what moths they can do with these bear bags!"
