Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Porcelain Coffin

The old lady stood up silently and walked towards the mouse.

When she stretched out her hand, I saw that her hands were all age spots, and she was so old that she couldn't let go of the things that she couldn't put down, and it must be the most important thing in life, and I didn't think that even if we had more money, we might not be able to receive this item.

"Old lady, I brought incense, candles and money, I wonder if I can worship and worship?" Zhuo Yifan looked at the old lady and asked.

"No need, I know your thoughts, but do you just want to see the porcelain coffin? I'm not going to sell it. There was already a hint of anger in the old lady's tone.

Zhuo Yifan directly took a black bag from Xiao Liu's hand, which contained incense candles and dark coins, and he handed it directly to the old lady.

The old lady hesitated, but took the bag anyway, and turned and walked into the house.

Zhuo Yifan glanced at me, and I also stood up, walked to the threshold of this house, and looked inside.

This house is just such a hall, there are no compartments, and on the right side of this hall, there is a rotten wooden bed, and next to the wooden bed is an extremely exquisite white porcelain coffin.

This white porcelain coffin is the best in terms of quality and color, and at a glance, you can see that it is usually very well cared for, and there are almost no cracks.

Such a beautiful and rare white porcelain coffin is really incompatible with this dilapidated earthen house.

"What do you see about that porcelain coffin?" Zhuo Yifan looked at the porcelain coffin and asked me.

"Painting enamel from porcelain fetus should be an object of the Qing Dynasty, but this thing should not be mass-produced, and it is likely that it is only a few ornamental items." After staring at the porcelain coffin carefully, I said to Zhuo Yifan.

Without waiting for Zhuo Yifan to speak, the mouse immediately asked: "Eh, Ninth Master, how do you know that this is not mass-produced?" ”

"Make the best use of things, general porcelain or other antiques, are made in accordance with the normal proportions in life, but, you see, this porcelain coffin is obviously much larger than the ordinary coffin, at least two and a half meters or so, how can a coffin of this size be mass-produced? It is very difficult to fire with such a large volume, and it takes a lot of material and labor, and no one will be so stupid to burn a porcelain coffin of this specification. "I explained it carefully to the mouse.

The rat nodded again and again, thinking that what I said made sense.

Zhuo Yifan also looked at me approvingly, saying that the ancestor of this old lady also had someone in the court as a bachelor from the cabinet of the fourth grade, but a few generations later, the family was also in the middle of the road, the family was persecuted during the Cultural Revolution, and there was no child in his life, and the old lady's husband was placed in this porcelain coffin.

Because the porcelain coffin is expensive, the old lady does not dare to bury her husband in the ground.

A year ago, Qingru had already come here to talk about the acquisition, but unfortunately the old lady was unwilling at all, and the price could not be negotiated.

"It's not the price." I looked at the old lady who was squatting on the ground trembling and burning paper, thinking that she was worried that selling the porcelain coffin would disturb her husband, so she didn't do it.

"It's not about the price?" Zhuo Yifan stared at me: "Then what do you say is the reason." ”

I stared at the coffin for a moment, then walked over to the old lady.

When I walked up behind the old lady, she suddenly turned her head back to look at me, and her eyes immediately showed irritation.

"Didn't you say that I don't sell it?" The old lady stood up vigilantly and looked at me, as if she was afraid that I would forcibly snatch the coffin.

"Old lady, do you want your husband to be buried in the ground?" I looked at the old lady and asked.

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes, stretched out her hand and touched the porcelain coffin, as if she didn't want to tell me as an outsider.

"Old lady, this porcelain coffin is indeed a top grade, no, it may be a unique product, it should be a family heirloom treasure handed down from your ancestors, right?" I didn't talk about buying a porcelain coffin, I just chatted with her.

When the old lady heard me ask, she was a little less angry: "This is indeed a unique product, my grandfather is very fond of porcelain, porcelain bowls and cups and all kinds of porcelain, and this porcelain coffin is rare, this thing is he let people fire, only this one, it was still a lot of manpower and material resources to make it when the teacher moved the public, originally he was going to lie in the porcelain coffin into the burial, but the porcelain is fragile and can not be buried deep underground, so it has been left until now." ”

I listened and nodded, she was right, once the porcelain coffin is covered with thick soil, there is a great possibility of breaking, so it is not a waste of this coffin.

"But people always have to be buried in the ground, and now you can still look at this coffin, but in a few years?" I paused as I spoke, not knowing if the old lady was taboo or not, so I didn't continue.

When the old lady heard me say this, there was a faint worry in her cloudy eyes.

She should know very well that after a hundred years of her, this coffin will still not be saved, and, looking at the situation of her current home, the burial of the old lady will also become a problem.

"Why don't we change a coffin for you, and let Qingru customize a double coffin for you?" In rural areas, after the death of many elderly people, there is always a place left next to the grave, so that the husband and wife can be buried together in the future.

Zhuo Yifan said that this old lady has no children, and the person she cares about most in this life should be her husband, so my words directly poked her weakness.

"Double coffin?" The old lady looked at me: "However, I have no children and no daughters, and after I die, no one will do it for me." ”

"Old lady, money can make ghosts grind, as long as we leave you a large sum of money, are you afraid that no one will be willing to deal with the aftermath for you? As long as you tell the people in the village, whoever gives you a pension will give this money to whom, I think more people are willing to do it for you. Zhuo Yifan said, and had already walked in front of the old lady.

The old lady pursed her lips and looked at Zhuo Yifan: "This? ”

She was still hesitant, Zhuo Yifan simply said: "If you don't worry about others, I will immediately invite someone and let her take care of you from today, and after you are a hundred years old, we Qingru will personally handle the funeral for you." ”

The old lady looked at Zhuo Yifan for a long time, pursed her lips and didn't say anything for a long time.

After all, it is a family heirloom, it is impossible to sell it when it is said, Zhuo Yifan still wanted to speak, so I gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, at this time, the more eager I was, the more it seemed like I wanted to deceive the old lady's coffin.

So, I sincerely told the old lady that we could wait for her to reply, and when she had it figured out, we would come back to receive the goods.

Saying that, the group also burned incense for the old gentleman, and then prepared to leave, but at this time the old lady suddenly stopped us, I know, this business should be promoted, but there is not much joy in the heart, but for the old lady's loneliness, feel sad.

Zhuo Yifan said this, but it was easy to understand.
