Chapter 125: The Golden Thread
I asked him, "How much are you going to borrow?" ”
Zhang Dayou walked to the sofa and sat down, not speaking for a long time.
Speaking of which, I don't have too much money on hand, and I don't know where the nutrition expenses will go in the second half of the year.
Since he didn't speak, I simply led the conversation to the topic: "Let's shine." ”
Zhang Dayou carefully took out a metal box from his backpack and carefully placed it on the coffee table.
I picked it up and checked it, the box was quite weighty, and there was a very crisp sound in it as it shook.
The closure of this thing is not generally good, and I can't smell anything at all.
When I put down the box, my movements were a little big, and Zhang Dayou immediately reminded me: "Tap." ”
I smiled a little embarrassedly, and then opened the lid and saw that there were three antiques in the box, one was a black copper bowl from the Western Han Dynasty (pronounced the same as "and", a wine vessel from the Han Dynasty), and the other two were white jade porcelain from the Tang Dynasty.
I don't need to look at the price list of Yan Yanan, I know that these three things are the best in the world, and they are worth a fortune.
Yan Yanan has a natural sensitivity to valuable things, and as soon as I opened the box here, she ran out looking for the taste.
As soon as he saw the things in the box, Yan Yanan couldn't help but exclaim: "These things are not ordinary antiques, just take one out and become the treasure of the small sect." ”
Hearing what Yan Yanan said, Zhang Dayou's eyes suddenly lit up: "How much can these three things be worth?" ”
Yan Yanan's response confirmed my previous thoughts: "It's priceless, I can't estimate it for a while." ”
Zhang Dayou became more excited, turned his face to me and asked, "When can I make a move?" ”
I smiled at him, "Don't be in a hurry to ask this. Our store collects things, and naturally there are rules for collecting things, let's talk about it, where did these things come from, and what are the allusions? ”
Zhang Dayou thought for a while and said: "Those two white jade vessels, one was used by the great master Li Chunfeng to dip in water to make a fortune, and the other was the treasure of the Qingquan faction. As for the black copper cup, it is said to be a magic weapon used by an unknown hermit in the Han Dynasty. ”
I asked him again, "How did these things get into the Zhang family?" ”
Zhang Dayou replied truthfully: "They all flowed into the Zhang family in the Ming Dynasty, and it is said that they were gifts from other sects." Oh, the black copper cup is not, this thing was stored by the grandfather's old friend in the Zhang family, the man said, if he is still alive in ten years, he will come back to pick it up, if he dies, the black copper cup will belong to the Zhang family. Now fifteen years have passed, but he has not appeared, and it is estimated that he is no longer alive. ”
I said, "To be clear, who is your grandfather's old friend, and how did this thing end up in his hands?" ”
Zhang Dayou said: "That person's name is Wu Lin, a mercenary who has been active overseas for many years, and the black copper cup is their ancestor. ”
I habitually scratched my temples: "Are you sure it's ancestral?" ”
Zhang Dayou nodded: "Sure, grandpa said it himself." ”
As soon as Zhang Dayou finished speaking, Yan Yanan asked me: "Do you want to put these three things into storage?" ”
"Let's put it in. Contact the people of the major sects to see if anyone is willing to accept it. Speaking of this, I hesitated again: "The black copper cup will not be sold first." ”
Yan Yanan: "I only take care of the accounts, and it is not within my scope of responsibility to contact the buyers. ”
I smiled at her helplessly: "But I have to practice, I really don't have that much time." Besides, I don't know the people in the industry, so let me contact them, but I don't know if I can make a move in the Year of the Monkey. ”
Hearing me say this, Zhang Dayou immediately looked at Yan Yanan, with a full of expectation in his eyes.
Yan Yanan didn't notice Zhang Dayou's gaze, but just rolled his eyes at me: "It's really troublesome, don't take it as an example." ”
I smiled and chimed in: "Don't take it as an example." ”
Yan Yanan went to the warehouse with the box, Zhang Dayou saw her go away, and then leaned towards me: "Why don't you sell black copper cups?" ”
I asked him, "Is the mercenary you mentioned dead or dead?" ”
Zhang Dayou thought about it and said uncertainly: "It should be, after all, he himself said that if he is still alive, he will go to Zhang's house to get the black copper cup in ten years." ”
"Probably right?" I frowned, "So you're not sure, right?" Since you are not sure, you can't make a move. I'll find someone to check the whereabouts of this Wu Lin when I go back, and if he really dies, let's find a way to sell the black copper cup. By the way, there's one more thing I have to tell you. ”
Zhang Dayou: "What's the matter?" ”
I said, "If you get these things through illegal means, when the buyer comes back to pursue them, it will also be held accountable to you, and it has nothing to do with me or the thrift store." ”
Zhang Dayou reassured me and said that in addition to the black copper bowl, the other two white jade vessels were indeed handed down from the ancestors and were absolutely legal.
I nodded and said nothing.
Zhang Dayou opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't spit out a word, and fell into silence like me.
He and I have our own hearts.
From the moment I saw Zhang Dayou again, I was thinking about how to leave him in Bohai Bay, but after thinking about it, I never knew how to speak.
And Zhang Dayou sat across from me, his expression and movements gradually became twisted, as if he had just done something unsightly and was discovered by me.
I knew he wanted to ask me to borrow money, but I didn't think about how to open my mouth for a while.
Just when Zhang Dayou and I sat silently opposite each other, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward, Li Huaishan entered the door with two cases of beer in his arms.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Dayou, and immediately frowned: "Zhang Dayou? What are you doing here? ”
It can be seen that Li Huaishan has no good impression of Zhang Da.
I glared at him when I saw his disgusted look, and Li Huaishan glanced at me, and immediately understood the meaning in my eyes, and instantly smiled.
When Zhang Dayou turned his head to look at him, he didn't see the disgust he showed just now, only the enthusiasm he had just pretended.
It is estimated that few people usually greet Zhang Dayou with a smile, and just like when I was first accepted into the door, Zhang Dayou saw the smile on Li Huaishan's face, and immediately became cramped.
Li Huaishan put the beer next to the sofa and asked Zhang Dayou with a smile: "When did you come?" ”
I also served Li Huaishan, and just now I still looked like I had seen an enemy, but now, whether it is my tone, expression, or gestures, I have shown great enthusiasm, just like the real thing.
This guy is definitely a waste of resources if he is not an actor.
Zhang Dayou was bored for a long time before he straightened his chest and said in a deliberately widened voice: "I just arrived." ”
Li Huaishan nodded, turned his face and said to me: "I bought a lot of mutton from the supermarket, let's have a buffet barbecue tonight." Hehe, did you crave this bite not long ago two days ago? ”
Fart, when did I say I wanted to eat lamb!
But looking back, I understand what happened, and he came to invite me to a barbecue with a courteous face, and to put it bluntly, it wasn't just to get close to Yan Yanan.
However, in front of outsiders, I was embarrassed to expose him, gave him a blank look, and then asked Zhang Dayou: "Are you living alone now?" ”
When I spoke, I gave Li Huaishan three consecutive looks, Li Huaishan was not stupid, he soon knew what I meant, so he sat next to Zhang Dayou, followed my words and continued to ask: "Do you have any relatives and friends around you?" ”
When we asked this, the expression on Zhang Dayou's face became a little lonely: "I...... Live alone. ”
Li Huaishan: "Where do you live, do you rent a house?" ”
Zhang Dayou: "I have always lived in the mountains and guarded the two old houses of the Zhang family. ”
Li Huaishan: "Living in the mountains, is there electricity in that place, you won't rely on candles every night for lighting, right?" ”
Zhang Dayou: "There is no electricity in the mountains, and I usually use oil lamps. ”
"If not, your little black is going to bed again, hurry up and take care of it!"
I was listening intently to Li Huaishan and Zhang Dayou when I heard the shouts of Yan Yanan on the porch.
At that time, my first reaction was that I must not let Zhang Dayou see the big and small black, so I immediately got up and walked towards the bedroom.
Just as I got up, Li Huaishan winked at me, as if to tell me that he could handle Zhang Dayou, reassuring me.
When I returned to the bedroom, I saw that Yan Yanan was holding a feather duster to expel Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei fought guerrilla with her on the bed, refusing to come down alive or dead.
It wasn't until he saw me enter the house that Xiao Hei hung his head and reluctantly climbed out of bed.
The man pointed at the big black with a feather duster, and said to me very unhappily: "These two little things you got are too troublesome, and if you are not careful, you will get some moths out." ”
I looked at Da Hei lying on the small bed, this thing looked weak again, and he must have gone to the small noodle restaurant last night to steal food while we were not paying attention.
"What should I do, and I have to change the sheets again?" He raised his chin at my bed and asked me helplessly.
I closed the bedroom door, turned around again, looked at the sheets covered with large ink stains, and could only sigh helplessly: "Let's change it." ”
The man threw the feather duster aside, reached out to pull the sheets, and just as the sheets were just lifted and kicked, I noticed a dazzling gold flash on the side of the bed, but this gold was fleeting, and when I fixed my gaze and wanted to see clearly, it disappeared again.
"Wait!" I immediately yelled at Ya Nan.
Yan Yanan looked at me puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
I said, "You put down the sheets first." ”
Although I didn't know what I was going to do, Yan Yanan still cooperated to loosen the sheets, and as the sheets slowly fell, the golden streaks quickly appeared again.
I quickly leaned over to the head of the bed, leaned down to take a closer look, and saw a small strand of hair falling from the place where I had used to put my pillow.
The hairs were originally pure black, but when I pinched them up and held them up to the light, there was a golden glow on them.
Yan Yanan looked at these few rays of golden light, and immediately said: "It's the hair on the civet cat!" ”
Well, it's indeed the hair on the civet's body, and if I'm not mistaken, these hairs should all come from the golden thread on the civet's abdomen.
