Chapter 1: In the Folk Kiln
I looked at the fat man solemnly and lifted it up with the edge of the bowl.
The fat man hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Don't be impulsive, you have something to say." ”
I said lightly: "If this thing is a burial item, this person's status in the Qing Dynasty is definitely not low." Who will be buried with porcelain from the Tongzhi period...... Tongzhi, Guangxu, Xuantong Puyi, who are the important ministers of Cixi...... Or is it a local nobleman? ”
"Be careful with the bowl. Be careful......" The fat man snatched the bowl away, held it in his arms and didn't let go.
I frowned: "I didn't say I had to fall, it's not time to fall yet." This thing was supposed to be a private kiln, but it was the knowledge of the official kiln, so it's hard to say. If you want to listen to me, you will either be smashed as a fake, or you will be handed over to the provincial museum as the real thing. This thing is not something that we can touch, and it is a disaster to keep it. ”
"Scourge? The evil will not be done, so I will keep it. How can it be bought with money, you bite me! ”
Seeing that the fat man and I were in a tense situation, Ercui blamed: "Don't make trouble, you two. It's already in your hands, and you're afraid of running away? I'm surprised, you don't care about thousands, tens of thousands of dollars? Crazy? ”
I pursed my lips and didn't say anything to her, and said to the fat man: "After all, the tea canister will be sold to Chen Ergou, and this bowl will be kept first." But you can't keep this thing in our store, you can put it anywhere, don't put it at home. Don't let me know what you do with it, I'll talk about it when I ask for it. I have a very ominous premonition, I'm afraid this bowl is going to bring disaster to us. ”
The fat man hugged the bowl tightly in his arms and said, "Okay, then do as you say." Let's talk about it, it's all bought with money, and you can't get into it. ”
Seeing that the two of us ignored her, Ercui crossed her waist and pointed to the bronze mirror and transparent stone and said, "I said that you two are endless, don't you still have a burden?" How much do these two things cost? ”
I paused, thinking that there was no need to quarrel about this matter, so I got down the slope and said to Ercui: "It was collected from a young man in the mountains, you can take it if you like it, it's worthless." ”
Ercui waved her hand and muttered, "What do I want this thing for?" A broken stone and a broken piece of copper......"
I was speechless for a while.
I saw that the time was not early, and I planned in my heart that I would make this deal with Chen Ergou tomorrow, and let the fat man send Ercui back first. Before they left, I told the porcelain bowl to hide it, and I have been feeling a little frightened now.
The fat man got on his motorcycle and said. "Don't scare yourself, what's this thing about? Can you still have ghosts? ”
"It's not like that. I can't say it, so you can do as I say. "I waved goodbye to the fat man and Ercui.
Ercui sat on Wuyang, and they left the store.
I turned back to the house and looked at the things I had collected for a while, and then I went back to the backyard to see the big dog.
Speaking of the big dog, who was pregnant for two months and gave birth in one day, has almost recovered in just a few days, and his spirit is getting stronger and brighter. When the big dog saw me, he straightened up and ran to the edge of the cage and barked at me, and for a moment I had mixed feelings, and I loved it more than ever.
I chatted with the big dog for a while, but in fact, it was also idle and uneasy, so I talked a lot. In the dark, I always felt that it was better to give that bowl away, this thing was a hot potato in my hands.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the official kiln at the bottom of the bowl and the painting on it, maybe professionals can determine the identity of the tomb owner. What should I do if the person who gets the bowl wants to find the tomb? What's more, only the old man knows the origin of this thing, whether it is killing people and stealing goods or digging graves, how do I know?
The green pastel flower tea canister is similar to the fragment of the pastel tea can, roughly the same batch of funerary goods washed out by the underground river, and the only way to fool this matter is to talk about other things.
I was not nervous and irritable, so I told the big dog all the thoughts that came out of my head. When I talk to the big dog, I can see that it nods from time to time, and seems to understand a lot, but it can't respond to me, so it can only lie down next to me and whine, as if to comfort me. I deeply felt that this dog was human, and the original owner taught me well, and I never thought that it could really understand my words and share my worries.
I smiled at the big dog and said, "You really look like a human being when you say you're sensible." I withdrew my hand from the big dog's head and stood up, "Okay, I won't bother you here." Go to bed early. ”
In fact, deep down, I still regard Big Dog as my friend, a good friend who knows how to listen patiently.
When I got back inside, I made a pot of tea and felt much better, as if I had made myself a lot more comfortable.
It didn't take long for the fat man to come back, smelling the fragrance of tea and sighing: "Longjing, I haven't seen you drink this tea since I bought it." How? Want to open it? ”
I smiled at the fat man, and he used a pun to be at a good level. I didn't answer his words, and said to myself: "Anyone who understands tea knows that Longjing is brewed for himself." If you soak it for others to drink, I will only give him Tieguanyin to drink. Of course, I don't mind sharing it with you. ”
The fat man "hehe" straightened, dismantled the stage and said: "I can't compare to you if the text is more real." You learned this sentence from Sun Lao, you are really embarrassed to use it......"
The old Sun mentioned by the fat man is a university professor who is good friends with the fat man, and a serious professor of Chinese linguistics. The fat man's words are true, I don't have much research on tea, but I just heard Sun Lao say this, so I learned to do it.
I didn't blush at all, and said cheekily: "If you want to drink, hurry up, it will be cold after a while." ”
Over tea, the fat man and I confided our thoughts and asked him for advice.
"What's this, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, if not, we will keep it ourselves." The fat man responded.
I thought for a while, and said, "That being said, I understand the reason. Don't expose this thing yet. "I mentioned first, I only care about receiving things, and contacting customers to sell goods is handled by fat people, and I generally don't interfere. It's just that this time I thought about it a lot, so I repeatedly emphasized this matter.
"Okay, it's all up to you." The fat man said.
It was already late when we were talking, and the things were confiscated for the time being, so we were ready to roll up and go to bed.
I made my bed and took off my coat, leaving only my pants and coats, and dragged my slippers to add to the fire. It's winter, and it's much better to have a stove.
The fat man was already about to fall asleep, but he suddenly stood up, pointed at me, and said, "Li Xiao, that jade pendant in your neck......"
"What's wrong?" I looked down and saw a faint green glow in my clothes under my neck. I hadn't noticed it all the time under the lamp.
"......It's lit up," I noticed when the fat man finished the second half of the sentence, "Is it the jade seal of the country nearby?" ”
I pulled out the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, thinking about it and thinking about it. When this jade pendant was bright, it was still in the Eight Gate Array, if the stone in the Eight Gate Array was the heirloom jade seal made by He's Bi, then my jade pendant would only light up when I encountered the heirloom jade seal, right?
I shouted to the fat man to put on his clothes and tell him to go to the backyard, and I opened the door of the store and ran outside the store to look for it, thinking to myself, could it be Liu Songming nearby? He shouldn't be wandering around with the heirloom jade seal, right? And it's been two years since that incident.
I went out to look back and forth, and there was no one around in the middle of the night, so I had to look far away, and almost all the corners, under the shade of trees, and in the drainage channels. I held the jade pendant in my hand, and gradually realized that the farther I left the store, the light emitted by the jade pendant gradually faded, and when I turned back and walked into the store, the jade pendant slowly shone again.
I had some clarity in my heart that there was someone hiding in the store...... I hurriedly ran back to the store and called out to the fat man, and told him what was in my heart. We searched all over the house together, and looked around the backyard again, but found nothing.
This toss made me feel cold all over my body, and my body couldn't stop shivering.
"Stop whirling, it's not like someone." I was puzzled, and I didn't know why, so I had to call the fat man back to the house to discuss.
When we got back to the house, the fat man and I stayed by the stove to bake the fire, and while warming up, we calculated the matter.
"I remember that Lu Fengqin hinted that your jade pendant is the key to opening the Eight Gate Array and finding the heirloom jade seal. Is there more than one jade seal in the country, and there is also one hidden in our store? The fat man rubbed his hands.
"How is that possible? If there is something hidden in our store, this jade pendant should have been lit up yesterday, why can it wait until today to light up? ”
"Then there are only a few more things in our store, I took one with me, and all that is left is the tea can, the bronze mirror and the stone...... If you want to talk about the stone, don't you say that you can't be sure if it's something of value? ”
The fat man's words were like an initiation, and I quickly stood up and walked to the bookcase, grabbed the translucent stone, and examined it carefully. Speaking of which, originally I didn't care much about this thing, so I didn't pay much attention, but now I have to tell the original appearance of the stone that this stone is about two catties, and a slap can barely be held in the palm of the hand, which is not small. The stone is translucent, because most of it is wrapped in rough stone skin, and a small part is a transparent stone with a little chicken bone white on the surface, and if you don't look closely, this is nothing more than a strange stone that no one may want if you throw it on the ground.
I held the stone high in my hand and looked at the light bulb for a moment. Needless to say, the stone skin is a thing that is slaughtered with a knife whether you look at it or not, but the transparent round stone block in it...... I did have some warm, moist and touching sensation when I touched it with my hands just now, maybe it was jade, or not.
Looking under the lamp, there is nothing special about this stone. I sighed and placed the stone on the desk again.
The fat man saw that I was stunned and asked, "How is it?" Did you find anything? ”
I spread my hands: "Because this jade pendant is probably related to the heirloom jade seal, I have specifically checked the information about the heirloom jade seal." Something like this......"
