Chapter 209 Where there is a cause, there is an effect

Although Mr. Zhou walks the rivers and lakes, he is also an authentic businessman, as the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way! I have been working with him for more than ten years and have always been very pleasant! Although his things are very expensive, fortunately, there are no fake gadgets, and they are all good things that cannot be seen on the market! Those things are mottled and smell of earth, and you can tell at first glance that they are things that have just been dug out of the soil! And he has a lot of things along the way, often a few large boxes at once. So I asked him, "How are you going to sell the rest of the things?" It's better to give it to me, and save you from smashing it again!

Old Man Zhou turned the two jade balls in his hand "Bang Bang Bang Dang", and said with a smile: "Chickens don't pee and pee, each has its own way, what do you want these rags to do, I will make a lot of money with him!" ”。 Although I know that he has a few stores selling antiques in Liulichang, although the things on the road are worth some silver, they will never be able to buy them for a lot of money! I couldn't figure it out until one day not long after, when I was idle and wandering around the glaze factory, I inadvertently approached an antique shop called "Bogu Zhai". This antique shop is not big, but there are a lot of things in it! As soon as I walked through the door, I was greeted by a young man. The young man bowed to me and said, "Sir, what do you want to see?" ”。

I looked up and saw a bronze tripod from the Zhou Dynasty on the Bogu shelf in the store, and I couldn't help but be surprised! It's not because there is anything surprising about this tripod, it's just that it is too similar to the other Zhou Ding I bought in the hands of Mr. Zhou, as if it was cut out of a mold! My heart sank and I said, "Oh no, am I looking away?" Impossible? I've seen that Zhou Ding carefully, and it can't be wrong! “。 I thought this to myself, and at the same time said to the perfunctory man, "I'll take a look! ”。

The guy followed me, and when he saw my eyes staring at the Zhou Ding, he complimented me and said, "Sir, this Ding was only purchased by our shopkeeper a few days ago, and no one else has yet to get it!" What a blessing sir! ”。 I picked up the bronze tripod and asked the young man, "Is this the one you have in your shop?" ”。

The young man smiled: "Sir, I really asked, we Bogu Zhai, this time we have a lot of things with Ding!" If you are interested, you can come with me to see ......! ”。 As he spoke, as soon as the young man stretched out his hand, he let me in! I put the Ding back on the Bogu shelf, at this time, I have basically seen that the Zhou Ding in front of me is an out-and-out fake job! The reason I'm so sure is because I'm holding a real thing in my hand that looks like it!

Compare the real thing with the fake thing, naturally one is more accurate than the other, and the quasi-guarantee does not run! If I didn't have that real tripod at the bottom, I really wouldn't be ready to be blinded by this big fake job! When I was secretly rejoicing, I couldn't help but have a cloud of doubt in my heart, the real tripod has always been in my hands, how did this fake tripod come about? I couldn't figure it out, so I followed the guy to the big cabinet next door!

Walking to the cabinet, the little guy opened the cabinet door with a "squeak" and told me that the contents were all from the same ding, if you like it, pick up a few and take them! I bent down to take a closer look, and I was even more surprised! It turned out that the things in the cabinet were the boxes I saw at Master Zhou's a few days ago, which had just been dug out of the ground! I pouted my teeth and asked the young man, "These...... Where did you get all this stuff from? ”。

The young man had obviously not been in this business for long, and when he saw me ask, he thought that all the shelves were fake! His face changed and he asked me, "Sir, what do you mean by that?" ”。 When I saw that he was mistaken, I smiled and said, "What about your shopkeeper?" ”。

The young man said, "The shopkeeper is in the backyard, sir, wait a minute, I'll call him!" ”。

I nodded and said, "Go and call the shopkeeper, I have a few words to ask him!" ”。

The young man then lifted the curtain and walked quickly to the backyard, and in a short time, he led a short and fat old man of sixty or seventy years old to pick up the curtain and walk in! As soon as the old man entered the door, he arched his hand at me and said, "This gentleman ......!" ”。 Before the shopkeeper's words were finished, I raised my eyes and took a look, and immediately recognized it, this fat old man, isn't it the housekeeper in Old Man Zhou's mansion on Tuesday?

Seeing that Tuesday I was also a flute, he laughed dryly twice, and said in surprise: "Isn't this Mr. Charlie?" What is the wind that blows you? ”。

When I saw that it was an old acquaintance, I felt embarrassed, just like the girl who was doing the skin and meat business, and suddenly bumped into an acquaintance! I smiled and said, "Isn't this Steward Zhou?" When did you become the treasurer of this Bogu Zhai? ”。

When I saw that it was me on Tuesday, there was nothing to taboo, so he pulled me to sit down and whispered to me that this Bogu Zhai is the property of Old Man Zhou, and his shopkeeper is just a name! I asked him what was going on in the box. On Tuesday, I told the truth: "The contents of the box were sent by the master a few days ago!" Haven't you already seen all those things, sir? ”。

I pretended to be casual and deliberately diverted the topic, but I already knew what was going on! I've been in this antique shop for some years, and I can't say that I understand everything in this industry, but I also know that eight or nine are not far from ten! It is said that there is no one who is not greedy for money, and every time he finds a rare treasure, he wonders how to buy this treasure in his hand at a high price! This pondering and torturing finally made them come up with a bad idea! You think, you only have the money to buy one piece, how can this quench your thirst? As the saying goes, it's hard to fill the craving! You know, this shrimp is easy to find, but the baby is hard to find! Find a few more treasures to take, and you can also make a fortune, but since you say it's a baby, how can it be so easy to find? So there is only one way left, and that is to fake it!

But this fake work is not easy, there are many on the market that are easy for people to see the flaws, only those things that have just been dug out of the ground and have not yet seen a living person are suitable! These fake things are made just like the real thing, and as long as you don't take out the real thing, no one will be able to see the flaws! Although Charlie Cao knew that Old Man Zhou copied the fake Ding with the real Zhou Ding he bought, what he didn't know was how many fake Dings did Old Man Zhou imitate this time? There is another thing that he always can't figure out, since Old Man Zhou has copied the fake ding, then why should he open up to me? Is there anything else in this that can't be done?

I couldn't figure out why, so I had to ask Tuesday. I don't know if I really didn't know about it this Tuesday, or if I deliberately pretended to be stupid with me, I spent a whole morning with him, and he didn't even tell me the truth! I looked at his wrinkled old face and wanted to spit on him!

This question didn't bother me for long, and one day, Tuesday came to me with a big red post, saying that his husband had just married his aunt and asked me to go to the house for a drink! I think the old man is almost seventy this week, and there is this flowery intestine, he is really old and strong! I was about to excuse myself, but I saw that Tuesday was not leaving, so I asked him, "Steward Zhou, do you have anything else?" ”。

Steward Zhou smiled and said, "Mr. Charlie, my lord said, I must invite Mr. over today!" ”。 I shrugged my shoulders, spread my hands and said, "Don't you see that I'm okay?" I promise you, if I have time, I will definitely go! ”。

Steward Zhou nodded, still standing still. I couldn't help but wonder and asked him, "Why don't you leave?" “。

Steward Zhou arched his hand and said, "I'll wait for Mr. to finish his business!" ”。 I couldn't help but be stunned, I really didn't expect Tuesday to come with me like this! He left me helpless, so I had to temporarily put down the work at hand and follow him to the Zhou Mansion!

It was quiet outside the Zhou Mansion, and there was not even a trace of festive atmosphere, and I couldn't help but feel strange, so I asked what was going on on Tuesday? Didn't your lord marry? Why is it so lonely? ”。 On Tuesday, my eyelids were numb, let me hurry up and enter the house, and ask Mr. Zhou myself! So I followed Tuesday and walked to the flower hall in the backyard!

At the door of the flower hall, there are two Kangxi dragon pattern clear flower vats, and there are a few goldfish with lion heads in the tank, and the goldfish swim leisurely in the water tank, occasionally pouting and spitting out a few bubbles! The walls of the tank were covered with moss, and even the water in the tank was dyed a pool of turquoise! Old man Zhou was holding a girl in one hand, pinching a straw stick as he walked, and was teasing the fish in the water, when he saw me coming in, he threw away the straw stick, greeted the door and said: "Brother Charlie, you are finally here, but you have waited so hard for me!" ”。

I joked, "Old man Zhou, I heard that you have married a new aunt?" If you don't stay with your new daughter-in-law, what are you waiting for me to do? ”。

Old Man Zhou laughed and said, "Do you think I want to see you?" It's an emergency, I have to ask your brother for help! ”。

I asked him what had happened. Old Man Zhou took my hand and said, "Let's talk about these things later!" Let me introduce you to ......! ”。 Old Man Zhou pointed to the girl beside him and said, "This is my newly married aunt's wife, how can I still enter your brother's eyes!" ”。

I glanced at the girl, and saw that she was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was white and pure. When she saw me looking at her, she couldn't help but blush her cheeks and wrung the handkerchief in her hand with a bow! I didn't dare to look at it more carefully when I saw that she was shy, so I hurriedly snorted with Mr. Zhou and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhou, congratulations to Mr. Zhou, I must bother you with this cup of wine!" ”。

Old Man Zhou stroked his beard and said proudly: "Should, should!" Brother Charlie, let's go inside! I have something to discuss with you! ”。
