It has been two days since we returned to Jinling, and originally only Miss Tang and Qin Yuetong lived in my Yishui Pavilion.

As a result, Mu Qingchen had to squeeze in, saying that she and Xiaoyu only needed one room, and Xiaoqing was a dog, and she could follow the family and care for the home.

I was rather speechless and didn't want to say yes. As a result, Miss Tang said very enthusiastically that it would be good for everyone to live together.

So the entire second floor became theirs, and Niu Meng and I moved to the backyard.

Yao Mockmei and Nan Ya each went back to their respective places, saying that they had just come back and had a lot of things to deal with. Nan Ya also gave me the Tiangang compass, saying that I would take the Tiangang compass to the Gufang market to ask, there are many people there, maybe I can ask something.

Nan Ya also said that he felt that Mu Qingchen was not very reliable, and in case she couldn't tell the clues about Zhuge Liang's tomb at that time, we had to find it ourselves.

I think about it, too, the words of the girls, you can't take them too seriously, especially the beautiful girls.

After resting at home for two days, I finally got two good sleeps, and the fatigue along the way was swept away. With Xiaoyu here, she is responsible for cooking and laundry.

Xiaoqing is not idle, although he is a dog, it is not a problem to pick up some dry firewood and bite a few buckets of water. After all, it's a fairy dog, how can an ordinary dog do these things.

Tang Jinghong, Qin Yuetong, and Mu Qingchen basically didn't come down, and I didn't bother to go up. Occasionally, I heard the three of them talking and laughing on it, but I didn't know what they were saying.

On this morning, the autumn was crisp and cloudless, I took the Tiangang compass and carried Niu Meng, ready to go to the Gufang market.

To put it bluntly, Gufang Bazaar is a place of upside-down antiques. You can find a lot of treasures here, from the Tang Dynasty, Jinling's ancient market is more famous, and it has continued to the present.

So now, many tomb robbers, as soon as they steal something good, they all run to Jinling.

And some officials in the court who like antiques sometimes send knowledgeable people to come over to buy some treasures.

It is said that two years ago, a certain first-class master found the authentic handiwork of Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty in the Gufang Market in Jinling, and he did not know whether it was true or not.

Anyway, my grandfather has a lot of such treasures, and he won't let us talk about them. In fact, no one believes it, you say that we have the jade seal of Qin Shi Huang, who believes it?

Niu and I went out violently, and there was a sense of comfort in the autumn air. There are many poets who have written poems about autumn. But my favorite is written by Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty.

Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring.

As soon as the cranes line the clouds in the clear sky, it will lead poetry to the blue sky.

Autumn doesn't have to be cold, sad, miserable, and miserable.

I wore a very expensive dress today, well, it is quite expensive, I bought it in the capital. In this way, he looks like a rich man, and if you go to the Gufang Market and ask, someone will take care of it.

Niu Meng is still the same, dressed as a follower and thug, with a cigarette pouch and pot in his mouth.

The shopkeeper at the door greeted me when he saw me, "Jiu'er, I haven't seen you for so long, I'm back." ”

I smiled and replied, "It's back." ”

"You're not in these days, but a lot of people are coming to you."

"I know, I have something to do today, and I'll visit you another day. Let's go, go around the Gufang Market. ”

I used to explain to the king's shopkeeper that when I was away, if someone came to me, let him write it down first, who and what happened. When I came back, I decided whether to help or not depending on the importance of the matter.

I've just come back, and I'm going to have to get two days of rest.

Jinling is still the same, although it is not as prosperous as the capital, but it is not deserted.

I walked casually with Niu Meng for a while before coming to the Gufang Market.

The Gufang Market is divided into two factions, one is inside the store, which looks more formal. The other faction is the stall, which doesn't look very formal. The regular shop has a big business and has a background.

However, sometimes you can find treasures for thousands of years in the stalls.

As soon as I walked into the Gufang Bazaar, I saw that there were things selling everywhere, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, musical instruments, bronze, jewelry...... Wait, even the cigarette bag and pot in Niu Meng's hand are there.

Some shops hung banners in front of their doors saying that they would receive all kinds of miscellaneous items.

I squatted in front of a stall and took a fancy to a pair of jade bracelets and wanted to buy them for Miss Tang.

The stall owner is a middle-aged man, dressed a little dirty, with a lot of yin qi on his body and a lot of calluses on his hands. I noticed that he had a few dark spots on his neck, which looked like he was infected by corpse spots, and his eyes were a little glazed.

It seems that this stall owner is a frequent tomb robber, but his skills are not very big, or he is not the main force to rob tombs with people with ability.

"Shopkeeper, I'll take a look at this pair of jade bracelets."

"Did Childe buy it? Don't buy it, don't show it. "The shopkeeper's attitude was very cold.

Niu Meng's temper came up at that time, "Hey, how do you talk?" You don't want to inquire about Brother Jiu's name in Jinling......"

Without waiting for Niu Meng to finish speaking, I quickly coughed twice and said with a smile: "Let's make a price." ”

"Two thousand taels is not worth two prices."

I frowned slightly and asked him, "Even if your pair of jade bracelets are really white marble, they are not worth two thousand taels." ”

"Yo, Childe's eyesight is good, can you see that it's white marble? Then listen to the origin of this white marble, is it worth two thousand taels. This jade bracelet was made from the territory of the Tatars. ”

I was overjoyed in my heart, knowing that I had found a treasure, so without saying a word, I asked Niu Meng to get the silver ticket, and the silver ticket I brought was not enough.

Niu Menghi was very unhappy, and muttered that a pair of broken jade bracelets cost 2,000 taels, isn't this a cheat.

But he went back and got it anyway.

The stall owner was also happy, and after paying the silver, he directly gave me this pair of white marble bracelets.

I took the bracelet and looked at it carefully, bumped it gently, put it to my ear and listened to it, it was indeed genuine.

Just as I was about to put away the jade bracelet, a middle-aged man in his thirties appeared in front of me and looked at me with a smile, "Childe, can you tell me about it in the store?" ”

After speaking, he gestured, and the shop next to him, the Treasure Pavilion.

The man had a very large mole next to his nose, and there was a heel hair on it.

As soon as he smiled, I knew he had the idea of hitting the pair of jade bracelets on my hands.

I wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it again, since I opened a shop here, I must know a lot of people, maybe it will be helpful for me to inquire about Tiangang Compass.

I nodded and followed him into the shop.

Brother Tsuzi made tea for the two of us and briefly introduced himself.

His surname is Yuan, and his single name is a Lang character. The ancestor was a member of the Song Dynasty, and later the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, and their family came to Jinling and made a fortune in the cloth business.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang fought the world, and Yuen Long's ancestors also donated money to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang later said that he wanted to give Yuen Long Zu an official position, but Yuen Long Zu refused.

In Yuen Long's grandfather's generation, six children were born in the family, and Yuen Long's father was the sixth.

The sixth followed a Taoist priest to travel all over the world, went to the capital to marry a lady, and started the antique business. After he became bigger, he moved back to Jinling and married a sixteen-room concubine.

It is also strange to say that each of the seventeen daughters-in-law of the sixth child gave birth to children, and some even gave birth to three.

But all of them are women, Yuen Long was born to a concubine in the sixteenth room, and when he was born, the sixth child was already forty-one years old, which was not easy.

However, Yuen Long was born frail and sickly, and the sixth took him to visit famous doctors and spent a lot of money to save Yuen Long's life.

Yuen Long said that he grew up drinking medicine since he was a child, and until now he can't stop the medicine, and if he does, he will cough up blood.

Yuen Long's father died of illness when Yuen Long was 16 years old. In the next five years, Yuen Long's aunts died one after another, including Yuen Long's biological mother.

Fifteen of the twenty-seven sisters in Yuen Long were stoned to death in a house collapse.

Seven died young, and four were all married, but after they got married, two died of illness, one committed suicide by jumping into a well, and one was beaten to death by her husband.

But the family members of the old six families are fine, Yuen Long is worried that he will marry a lady, which will cause disaster for the lady, so he has not dared to marry so far.

After listening to what Yuen Long said, I asked him, "Does Brother Yuen know me?" ”

"The name of the ninth prince, no one in Jinling knows."

"Brother Yuan hasn't looked for me before, has he?"

Yuen Long said that he had never thought about looking for it before, not long ago he asked the matchmaker to talk about the family, just got out of the dowry, set the wedding date, and the girl died of illness within half a month.

Then he wanted to look for me, but I was on my way to the capital, and he didn't find me.

"Brother Yuan himself should know something, right?" I asked him again.

Yuen Long coughed twice and replied: "It's not a secret, my father was a tomb robber before, and this huge family business all came from tomb robbing. I heard that it was because I touched something I shouldn't have touched and was cursed that caused this. ”

Yuen Long is true, but it is only partially right. People who often rob tombs will damage Yin Virtue, and if they don't stop in time, Yin Virtue will be exhausted, and bad variables will happen in their later lives.

In other words, even if you don't touch something you shouldn't touch in the tomb, you will be cursed.

I took a closer look at the mole on Yuen Long's face, and the position of the mole was half an inch to the left side of the nose, which is called water in physiognomy.

People with long water and nevi are afraid of water and are prone to flooding, so they should avoid living near rivers, lakes and seas. However, he is the main wealth, and he has no worries about food and clothing all his life.

As long as you guard against water, water nevus can be said to be a good face.

Yuen Long has a good face, which shows that his father is not a loss of morality. I asked him, "What did Ling Zun touch?" ”

Yuen Long coughed again, "Wait a minute, I'll go get an object for Jiu Gongzi to see." ”

With that, he turned and walked into the inner room.

Taking advantage of this moment, I took a look at his treasure pavilion. The contents of the house are worthy of the name Treasure Chamber.

From the Shang Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, he has objects from every dynasty here. But there are a lot of things I haven't seen before, and I don't know what they are. Nan Ya is well-informed, and he may be able to recognize it.

There's a set of eighteen bronze figures here, and I'm quite interested in it.

This set of eighteen bronze figures is fixed on a copper plate, each holding a club, but the movements are different. It looks like it's been a few years, at least before the Tang Dynasty, and I can't tell the specific age.

The strange thing is that these eighteen bronze people are all fierce and evil, which is different from what I have seen in Shaolin Temple before.

This set of eighteen bronze figures makes people feel creepy when they look at it.
