Chapter 1: The Mysterious Visitor
Jinan, Hero Mountain Cultural Market.
There are a lot of people here every day, selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and all kinds of gadgets. Walking along the main road, there are two rows of old buildings along the street, and passing through a small alley, you can see the sign "Gu Ji Antique Shop".
My name is Gu Rui, and I am a young proprietor of the antique dealer's generation. At this time, I was standing at the counter, looking carefully at a red glazed porcelain vase in my hand. This bottle is the size of a palm, with a square mouth and a round belly, a smooth neck transition, and the bottle body is carved with a totem-like pattern, with exquisite shape and exquisite craftsmanship.
"This bottle ......" I looked up at the man in the mask sitting across from me, and put on a meaningful expression: "How did you get it?" ”
"Hehe, doesn't the owner know the rules?" The masked man wore sunglasses and spoke in a contemptuous tone.
! My family has been dealing in antiques for several generations, can I not know the rules?! It's just that I just graduated from college, and I don't know how to do it at all, just now the little brother is putting up a shelf with you, looking at this bottle is really good, if you look down on it, the price can't be suppressed!
I smiled and picked up the phone on the table: "Second uncle, go downstairs and take a look, there is a porcelain vase, it looks good." ”
Putting down the phone, I looked at the mask man with a smile: "Wait a minute, I have to ask the elders to take a look at the things I look at, right?" ”
As he was talking, a person came down from upstairs, with messy hair and a dark complexion, holding the handrail with one hand and the precious wine gourd with the other: "Xiaorui, what is it?" ”
This person is my second uncle. Before anyone arrived, a strong smell of wine entered my nostrils first, and I frowned and handed over the porcelain bottle in my hand.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The second uncle didn't wear gloves, took the porcelain vase, put it under his eyes and looked at it, then put it under his nose and sniffed, turned his head and glared at the mask man: "Your things?" ”
"Hmm." The man in the mask still looks condescending.
"Hehe, dress up like this and come to my Gu family, find faults?" The second uncle's old face was red in the dark: "This broken bottle, after being old, it was buried in horse urine mud for less than a year, and it was taken out to deceive my Gu family?!" I don't care about you! ”
Yes?! As soon as I heard that it was a fake, I immediately blushed, glaring at the man in the mask and eager to punch him with an old punch: a fake soaked in horse urine mud, I just took the trouble to take it seriously for a long time, it's too embarrassing!
"Haha......" The man in the mask laughed when he heard the second uncle tell him to get out: "The Gu family is now left with the two in front of him, and the young owner won't talk about it, the second master is still an expert in knowing goods, but compared with the Gu family's uncle, it is still too much worse." ”
"Huh?!" When the second uncle saw that the mask man said that he was not as good as my father, he was not angry, and stared at the mask man with bull's eyes: "Who are you?" Now that you know the reputation of the Gu family, why don't you meet each other with your true face?! ”
"It doesn't matter who he is!"
Before the masked man could speak, a young woman's voice came from outside.
I followed the sound and saw a woman in a black jacket walking in from outside the door, with a beautiful face, shoulder-length broken hair, full of energy, and a delicate figure, but with a cold complexion, belonging to the category of the goddess of ice and snow.
"The important thing is this thing in my hand." When the woman came in, she walked straight to the counter, reached out and placed a black sack on the table, and nodded to me.
I
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) stunned, although I am nominally the owner of the Gu family's antique shop, but I have just graduated from college for a few months, and I have never really been in charge of the family's business.
I beat a drum in my heart, turned my head to look at the second uncle, but the woman sneered: "What? The heir of the Gu family, who looks like he was born very manly, doesn't even dare to open a sack?! ”
"Haha!" I was suddenly embarrassed, and hurriedly snorted: "If there is a bomb in this sack, I have to let the second uncle, a bomb disposal expert, prepare first, right?" Haha......"
Definitely, including the second uncle, after hearing this, they all looked at me like a fool, I was even more embarrassed, scratched my head, reached out and unzipped the sack, and saw that it was a rectangular wooden box inside.
I carefully took it out and opened the wooden box, only to see that there was a square wooden box inside!
After seeing this black wooden box with a side length of more than a foot, my second uncle and I couldn't help but say "huh"!
"Second uncle?!" I turned my head to look at the second uncle, and saw that the second uncle's face was solemn, sweat had appeared on his forehead, his brows were furrowed, he looked up at the woman, and then fixed his eyes on the mask man!
"Xiao Rui, open the box!" The second uncle stared at the man in the mask and opened his mouth to order.
I answered, and with a slightly trembling hand, I smoothly opened the password wooden bolt on the black wooden box, turned my head to look at the second uncle, and then opened the lid of the box tremblingly.
The moment the lid of the box opened, the eight eyes of the four people were all cast into the wooden box, and time seemed to freeze in an instant.
