Chapter 458, Broken Bricks and Tiles [Second Update]
Panjiayuan, during the Qing Dynasty, was the antique market in Yanjing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At that time, some nobles were in the middle of the road, living in difficulty, and needed to sell the property left by their ancestors to make a living. So during the day, most of the birds walked, and the eagles played, and at night, they wore tattered clothes, wiped their faces with soot, and came here to sell things with lanterns.
This kind of thing that not only avoided acquaintances but also made a business was more popular at that time.
So, after the convention, there are unique rules here.
The market opens in the early morning, regardless of the origin of things, both parties to the buyer and seller are wearing lanterns, the lights are dim, and they can't see their faces clearly, and they make transactions.
Because the market opens in the early morning, the stalls close during the day, the stall owners either light candles, or set up lamps, and the buyers walk constantly with lanterns, and the figures shuttle and fluctuate, so the image here is called the 'ghost market'.
After that, not only nobles, but also some thieves would come here to sell goods, and some people took advantage of the chaos to peddle fakes, which formed the current pattern.
The bicycle was parked on the side of the road, and Qin Kun saw that at first glance, he had a big head.
I thought it was a small market, at most the same as a vegetable market, but I didn't expect it to be so big and so scattered!
The old habit is followed here, countless stalls are lit with candles and lights, dotted with stars, dark as ghosts, and there are many pedestrians.
In such a big place, where can I go to find that old man?!
"Why are there so many people today?"
Not only Qin Kun was surprised, Feng Qiang was extremely curious, this was not the first time he had come to this place, even if it was the Midyear Festival today, there would not be so many people! Last year, before the Midyear Festival, the number of people was less than one-third of what it is now.
Qin Kun and the others entered the market.
There are a few stores here, those who can open a store, are brokers with the best goods in their hands, in most cases, they are not open for three years, they are open for three years, the state has been strictly controlled these years, and these shops are non-national treasure-level calligraphy and painting, handicraft transactions, and they can't be managed.
"Buy a lamp? Sir? ”
At the entrance of the market, a few lantern sellers came up and asked.
Qin Kun saw that the pedestrians were carrying lanterns, it seemed that this was the rule of the place, so he nodded: "Come two." ”
"Okay, 2 bucks."
"2 pieces? Why don't you grab it?! ”
Feng Qiang picked up the collar of the lantern he sold, this broken lantern cost less than a few cents, and he dared to sell it for 2 yuan?!
"Feng Qiang, pay for it."
After Qin Kun finished speaking, he walked in with a lantern.
Feng Qiang was angry and followed.
"Wait, guest officer, you haven't paid yet!" The lantern owner said aggrievedly.
"Get out!"
Feng Qiang glared at the lantern seller, and the boss was silent, sighing that he was backing today.
Qin Kun walked in front with the jade Ruyi, the Tianyan Technique was opened, I have to say, this place is too big, not the big one with a large scale, but the big one that is scattered, overlooking from a high altitude, all the stalls are tiled like stars, several main roads are densely populated, and the remote paths are not nothing.
Selling goods here, except for some people who are messing around, are all people who figure out people's hearts, either like to get together, or like to be different, as long as people are dazzled, maybe there will be a chance.
Qin Kun squatted in front of a stall, and on this stall was jade.
The texture of these jades is a little dirty, but the carving is fine, and Qin Kun can't tell the sense of age, but the appearance is really good.
"Look at the guest officer, it's all high-grade jade."
The boss was dressed in ordinary clothes and wore a wrench on his hand.
Qin Kun asked, "Boss, help me palm my eyes?" Qin Kun said and handed over a cigarette.
The boss was stunned for a moment and smiled: "The little brother turned out to be shipped, okay, I'll have nothing to do tonight, I'll help you take a look." ”
The boss was holding a cigarette, the smoke floating, he squinted his eyes, and looked at the blood pattern Ruyi handed by Qin Kun.
After looking at it for a while, the boss smiled: "It's either plateau blood jade, or it's a fake, it's a little old, but this thing is carved and simple, and the price has to go with the age, and the price can be doubled in 100 years, I'm not sure when this is." ”
Qin Kun asked in a low voice: "Boss, I'm not shipping, can you see where this thing came from, I actually want to buy a pair!" ”
The boss was surprised: "It's a bit difficult to get this kind of thing right." It's not clear, it's not clear ”
Qin Kun found that the boss's answer was obviously a little vague, as if he couldn't understand it halfway, and as if he was covering up something, so he had no choice but to leave.
After Qin Kun left, a person squatted down with a lantern, and the boss found that the person was wearing a face mask and looking at the clothes, he was a Taoist priest.
"Boss, how many fish are there on the wrench in your hand?"
The Taoist priest already has white hair, but he is full of energy, and the boss smiled: "The guest officer is knowledgeable, do you want to palm your eyes first and see how many fish are worth?" ”
The boss removed the wrench, and the Taoist priest looked at it and pouted: "It turned out to be a fake." ”
The boss was slightly angry: "I'm the wrench of the old horn!" ”
The Taoist priest didn't speak, patted his ass and left.
Qin Kun walked in front, next to Feng Qiang, and the two of them successively turned around a few jade stalls, and they had no clue about the origin of the blood-patterned jade.
Qin Kun didn't give up, and asked if there was anyone named Gu Ye, but found that everyone was silent, as if there was some taboo.
According to the prompts of the system, since this blood pattern Ruyi is related to Gu Ye, there must be a breakthrough point or clue between the two.
Qin Kun didn't have a clue, and he was a little confused.
In a bluestone pier in a remote section, Qin Kun was sitting and smoking, and Feng Qiang next to him wondered: "The surname is Qin, why did you pull me here?" The ghost door is open today, find a way to get that murderous female ghost out for me, I have other things! ”
Feng Qiang's purpose is to catch ghosts, if a ghost dares to cross the line, he will not let the other party go.
But Qin Kun took him to find some Gu Ye, what the hell is this for?
Qin Kun said: "Feng Qiang, didn't I tell you, this ghost is hidden in the blood pattern Ruyi, this is her body, if you want to destroy her, just smash it." ”
Feng Qiang hesitated a little, no matter how he looked at this wishful thinking, he couldn't bear to smash it.
"No other way?"
"Yes, find Gu Ye. Otherwise, she will come out and harm people at any time. Qin Kun made up a lie.
Feng Qiang is out of line.
This is the first time I've encountered such a troublesome ghost.
Next to Qin Kun and Feng Qiang, a stall owner spoke: "Little brother, what kind of cigarette are you smoking, give me one?" ”
The stall owner was a toothless old man with a northern accent, Qin Kun saw that his stall belonged to the category of no one cared about, handed over a jade stream and asked, "Uncle, you are a tile seller, and you also have business at night?" ”
The old man smiled: "This is the Ming Emperor's tile, and the old things with a little age can be sold this year." ”
A mess of broken bricks and tiles, Qin Kun didn't know where the old man's confidence came from.
Qin Kun squatted on the stall, the tiles should not be a national treasure, he saw the stall with his head turned, and the tiles, some of which were engraved with the name of the supervisor, became interested.
"Kuaixiang?"
Qin Kun was stunned, this name is so familiar...... If you think about it carefully, it seems that the feng shui master who built the Forbidden City in the early Ming Dynasty was called Kuaixiang!
After Liu Ji, the formation disappeared, 'earth, water, fire, wind', only 'wind and water' remained in the world, Kuaixiang is the last formation master, some people say that Kuaixiang can only feng shui, not a formation master.
Qin Kun was a little moved, after all, he was a senior, so it was better to buy a piece as a souvenir.
"Uncle, how much money do you have for this brick?"
"This brick is amazing, the bricks of the Ming Palace wall, 3000!"
The old man found that Qin Kun turned around and left, and hurriedly said, "Little brother, stay behind!" ”
Qin Kun glanced at him, and the old man's face was solemn: "You and I are destined, you can take this imperial brick for 50 yuan!" ”
"Uncle, you continue to sell, I won't bother you......"
The old man was anxious: "Wait! I just heard you guys talking about Gu Ye, you buy me brick by brick, I'll tell you where Gu Ye is. ”
