Seeing Jianwen and the man talking, I said, "Yo, there's a business!" I turned around and walked to the kitchen, and saw soy milk and fritters on the table, and it didn't matter if it was cold or not, I picked it up and ate it.

I was a little hungry, and I was gobbling up the fragrant food, when I heard Jianwen call me: "Brother Jun, you come out, you have a big business!" ”

I picked up the soy milk and drank a big sip, took another fritter casually, and walked out while eating, and saw the man standing opposite Jianjun looking at me with a smile on his face.

This man was not very old, about my age, not much older. The hair is neither long nor short, a pair of big eyes are bright, and the teeth are a little yellow when he laughs, and he looks like an old smoking gun.

I walked over and saw two silver ingots on the counter.

Pick it up and take a look, these are two Ming Dynasty ingots, there are four big characters engraved on the front, Daming ingots, there are two lines of boys on both sides, forty-eight taels, Ding Chou Nian.

I looked twice, put it on the table and turned to leave.

The man saw that I had left without speaking, so he shouted behind him, "Boss, what do you mean by this!" ”

I thought about it, doing business and being precious, then let you die understand, turned around and walked back, pointed to the two ingots and said, "These two ingots are not right!" ”

"Ming ingots for the late Ming Dynasty cast, "treasure" in the middle of the writing from the two "king", are Yang. THE SHAPE OF THE MING INGOTS IS RELATIVELY STANDARD, THE SHAPE IS UNIFIED, THE FRONT OF THE INGOTS IS 107MM LONG, THE THICKNESS IS 60MM, THE UPPER AND LOWER ENDS ARE EQUAL TO 55MM, THE WIDTH OF THE WIDE WAIST IS 63MM, THE BOTTOM SURFACE IS 61MM LONG, THE UPPER AND LOWER ENDS ARE EQUAL TO 38MM, AND THE WAIST IS 43MM. The surface is concave, the water ripples formed after casting and cooling are faintly visible on the ingot surface, and the bottom seat is slightly convex and concave in the form of a honeycomb, weighing up to 1500 grams.

However, due to weathering, corrosion and wear, the weight of the existing Ming ingots will generally deviate slightly, around 1450 grams to 1500 grams.

I picked up the two ingots that the man was holding and weighed them and said, "You see that this thing of yours has a shape, but the size and weight are not right!" ”

When the man heard me say this, he picked up his things and shook them, and then a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"The boss is really a person who knows the goods!" As he spoke, he took out two ingots from his backpack and put them on the counter, I looked at them, these two were also Daming ingots, I took them over and looked at them carefully, and I knew that this was genuine.

I smiled and said, "If you have good things, you don't take them out earlier, why are you hiding them, what is this brother called?" "Under the surname Shen, others call me Shen Thirteen, please bear with me." As he spoke, he stretched out a hand, and I reached out and shook it, which is considered an acquaintance.

"Brother Shen, how are you going to get this thing out?" He took my hand and clicked it five times on my palm, and I thought about it, the price was quite fair, and I took a small advantage. So he smiled and said to Jianwen, "Take 50,000 yuan!" ”

The store is doing antique business, always keeping cash, Jianwen heard it, he took money from the safe in the back and put it on the table, all of which were taken out from the bank and had not been opened, a total of five stacks were placed in front of him, this Shen thirteen o'clock was not ordered, and he picked it up and put it in his bag.

I said, "Don't count, if you go out and say less, I won't admit it!" He smiled and said, "The boss opens the door to do business, and I believe you won't mess around." I also smiled, thinking that this person was quite refreshing, so I handed over the cigarette and said, "Listen to the accent of the eldest brother, it's not a local!" ”

He took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, I handed the fire up, there was a little wind at the door of the store, it was not lit, I put my hand together, the cigarette was lit, he patted it lightly on my hand, spit out a puff of smoke and said: "My ancestors are from Huzhou in Zhejiang, and now I do some small business in Nanjing, Jiangsu, Anhui often run on both sides." ”

"Then I take the liberty of asking, where did the things in your hands come from, and how did you get them to our small shop!"

"In the early years, my friend owed me money for business, so he took these things to the account, and I didn't know if there were any fakes in it," he said and smiled.

When I heard it, it felt like a haha, and when I thought about it, it was normal for people not to want to talk about some things, so I picked up a business card in the store and said, "If you have good things in the future, you can take them, and the price will not make you suffer." He took the business card and looked at it and said, "Brother Zhang, it is fate that these two things came out of you today, so I will ask you about something again." ”

As soon as I heard this, I thought to myself that it was not so easy for this person surnamed Shen to come to our store, so I said, "Please speak!" ”

"I don't know if Brother Zhang's store has received anything like rare books from the past?"

As soon as I heard it, I was a little alert, so I said: "I don't know what kind of rare books Brother Shen is talking about, you also know such things as books, it is difficult to preserve, there are not many surviving in the world, and good things are rare." ”

This Shen 13 said: "It's something like ***, I'm particularly interested in this kind of thing, and I like to collect a little." ”

Thinking of what my father explained before, I smiled and said: "This kind of thing, it was almost burned in the early years, and this thing is not easy to preserve, it is difficult to see it on the market, if I see it in the future, how about I contact you?" ”

When Shen Shisan heard me say this, he nodded and said, "I'll go back to Nanjing this afternoon, I'll leave you a phone number, and I'll keep the goods for me in the future, and the price is easy to say." I also nodded, and after speaking, Shen Shisan asked me for paper and a pen, wrote a number with a brush, shook hands with me, turned around and went out.

I remembered that this person was from Nanjing, and I wanted to ask him if there were any acquaintances over there, and I might use it to go to Nanjing to do errands, but then I thought about it, this matter is still waiting for the second grandfather to arrange it. He raised his hand and waved, and the man walked away in a blink of an eye.

In the afternoon, I called the store and told me to go to the back mountain in the afternoon and send two pillars!

When I arrived, Brother Hao, the elders of the clan had already arrived, someone handed me a piece of filial piety cloth, I tied it on my head, and an old man shouted, "The hour has come!" For a while, the suona sounded into the sky, the sound was tear-jerking, paper money was flying all over the sky, and a new monument was erected in the new tomb.

Erzhuzi's family cried to death, and I endured my grief to comfort Erzhu's family, but I didn't expect that when I saw Erzhuzi's coffin about to fall to the ground, tears still flowed.

The coffin was slowly put into the grave that had been dug, an elder took a compass there to face the direction, the coffin was placed, and the soil began to be laid, and each of the three of us shoveled a shovel of soil to cover the coffin, and I silently thought in my heart: Brother Erzhu will go all the way, I will often come to see you.

After sending the second pillar, I saw the second grandfather beckoning to a few of us, and came to the second grandfather, and the second grandfather said solemnly: "Leave tomorrow morning, you are all ready to go back, and Jianjun will bring more money with him, just in case." I nodded, everyone was in a heavy mood, and they were not in the mood to speak, so they all went home.

When I returned to the store, I remembered the explanation of my second grandfather, I opened the safe, took some money, I ordered 100,000 yuan and held it in my hand, and when I was about to close the door, I saw a few pieces of paper on the lower floor of the cabinet, I took it out and looked at it, and saw a majestic building painted on it, and there were many words written next to it.

It's all traditional characters, some of which I recognize, but there are also some characters that I can't recognize. It seems to say how many catties of glutinous rice, how many catties of lime and tung oil, how many inches of bricks are long, how many inches are wide, etc., and the next few sheets are also similar things.

I remembered that this thing seemed to have been received by my father before, so I asked me not to say it to the outside world, but I didn't expect my father to attach so much importance to it and put it in the safe. I didn't understand it, and I wasn't interested, so I put it away and closed the door of the safe.

I went upstairs to my father's room, and found that the glass had been replaced, and the anti-theft window was also installed, and Jianwen was quite neat, I lay down to smoke, remembering what happened recently, it was really not smooth, so I thought about going to the temple one day to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and go to bad luck.

When I thought of the temple, I suddenly remembered what Xuankong had given me before, so I took it out again.

Black smooth stone, with a swastika in the middle, flattened.

I thought that Master Xuankong was no longer there, and I felt sad again, this thing is also a Buddhist thing, it should also be safe, thinking of this, I put it around my neck, and prayed in my heart, Buddha bless, Master Xuankong is blessed by the spirit of the sky, bless me with a smooth trip to Nanjing, and bless my father with peace and sound.

The black stone sticks to my skin, and it's a little cool, but I feel a lot calmer.

Before dawn in the morning, I woke up, got up to wash and wash, checked everything, and went downstairs with my bag, Jianwen slept in the store below, and woke up when I heard the movement and asked me what time it was, I looked at the clock and said at five o'clock, "It's still early, you can sleep again." ”

I was a little hungry, so I turned around and went into the kitchen, and when I saw that there were still some somen noodles, I beat two eggs and ordered some noodles to eat. After eating the noodles, I felt a little warmer, so I walked out to look for cigarettes.

I was rummaging through my bag when I saw Jianwen sleeping on a folding bed, looking at the roof with his eyes open, so I asked him, "Why don't you sleep more." Jianwen looked at me and said, "I can't sleep." "I took out my cigarette, lit one, and sat in my chair and waited for the car.

Jianwen looked at me and said, "Fourth Uncle should be fine?" I looked at him and said, "I don't know yet, everything will be done when we get there!" Jianwen said again: "The fourth uncle must be fine, the fourth uncle is such a good person, God will bless him." ”

I turned my head to look at Jianwen, he only showed his head from the quilt, his hair was messy, he just looked at me with his eyes open, I said to him: "You are also very good, we are not bad people, good people should have good rewards, right!" He nodded vigorously.

I said again: "This time I went to Nanjing, I don't know how long it will take to come back, you can worry more about family affairs, and I will ask your fourth uncle to wrap a big red envelope for you when I go back." Jianwen just looked at me and smiled, and I looked at him and smiled.

As we were talking, I heard someone honk at the door, and I got up to leave.

Jianwen was also about to get up, so I said, "Don't get up, when we settle down over there, I'll call you and call you if there is anything at home." He nodded and said no more.

Turned around and went out, the car stopped at the door, got in the car, and saw the second grandfather and Laifu sitting in the back, the third uncle driving the car, making a fuss and sitting in the co-pilot, Brother Hao and I sat in a row, holding fritters and soy milk in his hand, Seeing that I was coming, I motioned if I wanted to eat some, I waved my hand, and the second grandfather told the third uncle, "Let's go!" ”

The car took the national highway all the way to the south, walked early, the road was relatively smooth, walked for about four hours, we arrived at the majestic Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.

I hadn't been to Nanjing before, but my dad had been here before, and I heard him talk about the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. There are also in primary school textbooks, the famous bridgehead, the three red flags at the top, as if the wind is blowing, the first time I saw it in my life, I was very excited.

When the car drove to the bridge, you could see the wide river, with ships coming and going.

Looking into the distance, straight to the sky, Brother Hao couldn't help but chant: "The water of the Yangtze River comes up from the sky, and it flows to the sea and never returns" How many past events have passed away with the river, and how many secrets have been drowned in this river.

I took my mind and said silently, "Dad, here we are!" ”
