Confucius Temple Antique Street is on the bank of the Qinhuai River, the scale is larger than the ghost market of the old Chengdu Xiaoguan Temple, this is the first time I came here, because I am in a hurry to use the money, we are in the morning market.

Although the antique street of Confucius Temple is larger than Xiaoguan Temple, you can walk around for a while, and find that the rules are almost the same, the whole street is surrounded by shops, dealing in antique calligraphy and painting, jade jewelry and other valuable objects, and you can have a shop in Confucius Temple, which is naturally not something that ordinary people can do.

There are vendors outside the shop, and people who don't have a shop practice stalls outside, but they will never block the doorway of the store behind, this is the rule, people let you set up a stall outside for your convenience, and you can't block the owner's financial road.

People who practice stalls will choose to open before dawn, close the stalls as soon as the day dawns, when we go, the sky is not yet bright, the antique street of Confucius Temple is bustling and lively, each stall is lit with a lamp, looking from afar, the light shadow is bright and dark, flickering, there are also people who buy and sell in the activity, that formation, people who do not know are frightened, this has the saying of the ghost market.

As soon as the morning dawns, these people who practice stalls will pack up and go home, this is an unwritten rule, because the shops have to open their doors after dawn to do business, and the popularity of the antique street depends on these people who practice stalls, and the owners of the shops are convenient for themselves, so there is never a conflict between those who practice stalls and those who open shops.

"You're standing until dawn, look around, what are you waiting for?" Gong Jue rubbed his stomach and suddenly looked at me very aggrieved. "I'm hungry."

"Me too......" Tian Ji said playing with the stone in his hand.

"Since ancient times, gold is priceless and jade is priceless, not that jade is more expensive, the main thing is that there is no standard for measuring this thing, it is all based on the edge of the eye to evaluate, these people who practice stalls, they can't wait for the things on the stall to be sold, who will accept a piece of jade wrench of unknown origin, not to mention that even if they want to collect, they can't get a good price." I looked at the hungry listlessness of Gongjue and Tian Ji, and I felt a little sorry for them. "If you want to resist pawns, you have to find a shop and see if they accept jade."

After dawn, the people who practiced the stalls slowly dispersed, and the shops opened one after another, and the antiques were all over the place.

After a walk, I suddenly stopped in front of a shop, Jinling Confucius Temple Antique Street can be said to be an inch of land, to be able to run a shop here, presumably in the antique industry should be able to stand firm.

But the shop in front of me has two floors, the first floor is mainly for jade antiques, and the second floor is not known for what it is used for.

Looking down, on the black lacquer lintel, there are three simple and unpretentious characters.

Han Chunxuan.

"Yingjia's store, no wonder it is so arrogant, as soon as it comes out, the street store is all inclusive." Gong Jue smiled and said.

"Who is Yingjia?" I asked curiously.

"You grew up in the ghost town, and you have followed the shopkeeper Ye for more than ten years, haven't you heard of Ying Chengyuan?" The palace lord looked at me in surprise, as if I didn't know this man, as if I were a monster.

I shook my head blankly, I followed Ye Jiuqing and them, almost most of the time I was learning things, I knew very little about things outside, and then I looked at Tian Ji, and his reactions were more normal than mine.

"You know this guy too?"

"Acquaintance." Tian Ji nodded calmly.

I frowned, even Tian Ji knew the people, it can be seen that the origin is really not small, I hurriedly asked Gong Jue, the origin of this person called Ying Cheng Yuan, Gong Jue did not hurry to say, before he knew me, and Gong Yu collected ancient locks in Shunde Antique Street, Foshan, at that time Gong Yu taught him a lot of things in the world.

When it comes to antiques, it is nothing more than two kinds of seeing the light and not seeing the light, of course, most of the general value is not visible, so the antique industry is actually associated with tomb robbing.

Gong Yu told Gong Jue that in this circle, the most well-informed woman was a woman, but Gong Yu did not tell who this woman was at that time.

"Flowers cherish doubles." I reacted immediately. "Your master probably knows that this woman is not simple, and he doesn't want you to have anything to do with Hua Xishuang, so he didn't tell you, but I didn't expect that we would meet her after all."

"Ye Jiuqing, the most treasured thing in his hand." Gong Jue nodded and continued. "The master said that if there are good goods in the circle, nine times out of ten they are from the hands of the shopkeeper Ye, which means that the ability of the shopkeeper Ye to visit the tomb is unmatched."

"Hua Xishuang is the most well-informed, and the shopkeeper is the most shipped and the best, so speaking of which, Ying Xiyuan should also be the person in this circle, what is he the most?" I asked thoughtfully.

"Money, Ying regret Yuan's money is the most, but not only in this circle, Yingjia has a lot of business, and there are Yingjia's industries in various fields, but Yingjia has always been low-key, but my master said that Yingjia is deeply hidden, and Yingjia is afraid that he can afford these four words." Gong Jue said.

"The conscience of heaven and earth, the four words of the rich world, if you really want to bear it, it should be the three of us, when will it be the turn of the Ying family, think about it, there are so many ruins, even if one of them is not destroyed, we will still be reduced to the point of begging for food." Tian Ji smiled weakly.

"So rich...... "I touched my chin. Let's go, try your luck, since we are all people in the same circle, maybe we can save the rivers and lakes. ”

Walking into the luxuriously decorated Han Chunxuan, the ragged appearance of the three of us quickly attracted the attention of the clerk, and a middle-aged man came over and looked us up and down.

"Do you have anything to look at?" The middle-aged man said politely, but his eyes were somewhat disgusted, and with the way we are dressed now, no matter how we look at it, we are not people who can buy things in the store.

Tian Ji was like a stunned man, probably dazzled by the exquisite jade in the store, and stayed behind to watch.

"Boss, I have a piece of ancient jade in my hand, I have you to give me the palm, my three brothers are in your land, and their hands are tight for a while, I heard that Han Chunxuan is famous, and if I want to mortgage the jade, I will definitely redeem it within five days." I politely said to the clerk.

When the middle-aged man heard our intention, the smile on his face immediately disappeared: "Han Chunxuan is not a pawnshop, you are in the wrong place to sell jade." ”

"If you don't have to take a look, in case you can see it, you can say how much it costs." I'm still smiling and pleading.

"You just don't have a jade seal here, what Han Chunxuan sells is jade, and there has never been a rule for collecting jade in the hands of outsiders, if this is going to be spread, who would dare to believe Han Chunxuan's name." The clerk waved impatiently. "Let's go, there's still business here."

While!

A stone was thrown on the counter, Tian Ji was so greedy for money, it was estimated that he saw so many precious jade stones in Han Chunxuan, and he couldn't walk, the stone was brought back by the palace lord from Jieshi Palace, I don't know what Tian Ji is going to do.

"If you don't accept jade, you have to collect the stone, you can show this stone." Tian Ji pushed the middle-aged man in front of the counter.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and probably didn't react, but he still picked up the stone, turned it over and looked at it for a long time, and was at a loss: "This, what kind of stone is this?" ”

"Why can't you see it, I'll tell you." Tian Ji took the stone from the man's hand, pointed to the stone under the lamp, and said. "Look at this stone skin, is it slightly transparent, and the lines are fine and clear, through the light, whether there are red tendons in the stone, this is a good stone."

Tian Ji didn't say what kind of stone it was for a long time, but the middle-aged man on the opposite side looked a little trance, as if he was moved by Tian Ji's words, looked at the stone in Tian Ji's hand and said: "I know a little bit about jade, Zhenshi doesn't dare to get an axe, or you should sit down first, I'll ask the person in charge of the store to take a look." ”

Tian Ji nodded, the middle-aged man left and turned to the back, and Gong Jue and I were dumbfounded.

"You see, it's just a normal stone?" I asked the palace lord.

"It should be......" Gong Jue is a little unsure now, after all, the ancient jade is good, and the middle-aged man refuses to take a look, but he cares so much, the person who can stand behind Han Chunxuan's counter will definitely not be bad for this eyesight, and it is estimated that Gong Jue is also a little dazed now.

It didn't take long for someone to send three cups of tea, a big store is a big store, this number of gifts is so thoughtful, just took a sip of it, Gong Jue frowned: "The Ying family is really rich, and the people who don't know are used to entertain people they don't know, and they use the first batch of Junshan silver needles before Gu Yu." ”

Gong Jue understands tea, and laughs at himself while drinking it, saying that the money for these three cups of tea is enough for us to eat, and it is more than enough to return to Chengdu.

I couldn't tell how expensive this tea was anyway, and soon two people walked out from behind, in front of a middle-aged man who had just received us, followed by an elderly man with glasses.

The glasses stood in front of us, the attitude was very polite, and he was still holding the stone in his hand, after scanning us, his eyes fell on Tian Ji, this person's eyes were so sharp, it reminded me of Zhao Yan, although the eyesight should not be as good as Zhao Yan, who is known as the king of Hades, but it should be easy to break a stone.

I want to take Tian Ji and Gong Jue away, so as not to be ridiculed and embarrassed.

"How much are you going to sell this stone for?" As soon as the eyes opened, they were straight to the point.

The palace lord and I were stunned for a moment, could it be that we really looked away, the stone was not extraordinary.

"How much do you sell?" The field chicken turned to look at me.

I thought about returning to Chengdu from Jinling, and then taking Tian Ji and Gong Jue for a meal, two hundred yuan should be enough, for fear that the eyes on the other side would regret it, and stretched out two fingers in front of Tian Ji.

"Twenty thousand." Tian Ji nodded, turned to his glasses and said.

……

The teacup in the hands of Gong Jue and I almost didn't fall, and the result was even more unexpected for us, our eyes didn't say a word, and nodded to the middle-aged man behind us, and it didn't take long for the middle-aged man to come back and put two stacks of money in front of us.

I was stunned for half a minute, until Gong Jue grabbed the money, pulled me and Tian Ji and walked out, and didn't dare to stop when he left Han Chunxuan, and walked far through the streets and alleys.

"Run...... What to run? Tian Ji asked out of breath.

"I'll let you sell a broken stone for 200, enough to go back, and as soon as you open your mouth, it's 20,000, most of those two people are looking away, if you don't run, are you waiting to be caught." I leaned against the wall and suddenly laughed as I spoke. "As for these people who should regret Yuan's search, he can also be rich in the world? One stone can be sold for 20,000 yuan, if Cheng Qianshou knows about it......"

Gong Jue and Tian Ji also laughed, especially Tian Ji, who seemed to be very proud: "Many people are stupid with money, and they should regret the great cause of the Yuan family, where will this money be seen." ”
