Lao Zhao is right, but I'm afraid it will take time to decipher the Mongolian script of Ba Si Pa on Yu Gui, and we stared at Yu Gui on the table silently.

The pit took the lead in breaking the silence and said: "Actually, I've heard you say for a long time, I don't know what this heirloom jade seal is, but listening to what you mean must be a good thing, but this good thing can't be obtained in a while." We all nodded, and the pit continued: "In my opinion, Brother Zhao has a lot of good things in this house. ”

As soon as the pit came out, I knew what he wanted to do, this product was thinking about getting some treasures from Lao Zhao.

After Lao Zhao heard this, he laughed and said, "If Brother Niu is interested, how about we taste it together in a while?" This sentence hit the pit, and the pit nodded happily. After speaking, Lao Zhao went to the next door to explain, and after a while, Zhao Xiaoxu brought out a few dishes, Lao Zhao took out a bottle of Lao Jiao from under the coffee table, and said, I must have a big drink today.

Lao Zhao smiled and said, "Three brothers, there are no good dishes, don't mind, don't be restrained." After saying that, we raised our glasses, and we raised our glasses together and dried them in one go.

"Brother Zhao, aren't you together?" I put down my glass, picked up my chopsticks, and asked inadvertently, I don't know why I came up with such a sentence.

Lao Zhao was stunned and patted his head, "Oops, how did I forget her." As he spoke, he shouted to the next door, "Xiao Su." ”

With a string of bells, Zhao Xiaoxu opened the door curtain and walked out. Lao Zhao motioned for her to sit down and eat together, maybe she hadn't seen anyone before, or for other reasons, Zhao Xiaoxu sat down with a red face.

"What's wrong with the girl, we're not bad people." Seeing Zhao Xiaosu's appearance, the pit said. Zhao Xiaoxu lowered his head and did not speak, glanced at Lao Zhao with a red face, then picked up the wine glass and said, "When we meet for the first time, please give me a lot of advice." ”

In panic, I quickly raised my wine glass and said where and where I was. "That's right," the pit said, raising his glass and drinking it all.

The meals are all like that, eating, drinking, chatting, and before you know it, you go in for more than an hour. I suddenly remembered the question I asked Lao Zhao when I met him in the hospital a few days ago, and he didn't answer me clearly at that time, and I can take this opportunity to ask him again today. But now at the dinner table, there are a lot of people, I don't know why, I don't really want to discuss this when there are many people, it is better to communicate privately.

Finally, the dinner was over, and we all had round stomachs except for Zhao Xiaoxu, that is, Lao Zhao put too much salt in the vegetables, and my throat was very uncomfortable after eating. I drank tea and cleared my throat without listening.

Zhao Xiaoxu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and Lao Zhao took the pit to watch along the Bogu frame in the house. The pit looked back at me and made a look, I understood and knew that he was asking me to help him distinguish the real from the fake.

I moistened my throat with a cup of tea and followed behind the two of them, only Song Jin sat bored on the sofa watching TV.

The first is a ring-shaped jade dragon, the luck of the jade dragon is very simple, there is no bracket and base, but through precise skills, the center of the jade dragon is adjusted in a reasonable position, and the "tumbler" state of the jade dragon is completed. Looking at the shape and color, it should be after the Han Dynasty and before the Tang Dynasty.

The pit bent down to pretend to look closely, but in fact turned its head to look at me. I didn't notice that the pit was watching me, so I took a sip of tea and cleared my throat with my hand over my mouth.

The pit raised his head and said to Lao Zhao: "Brother Zhao is too unreal, the whole fake is boring." ”

Lao Zhao was stunned: "Brother Niu, how can a genuine old object be a fake." "I'm sorry to hear it, this thing is taking my throat clearing as a sign of our agreement. I quickly pulled the pit and said, "That's it, where did the fake come from?" ”

I didn't know what was going on in the pit, I thought I was acting, and I didn't look at this jade dragon anymore, but went directly to see other things. Lao Zhao glanced at me and asked me what was the situation in his eyes, I shook my head helplessly, not knowing how to answer.

Lao Zhao continued to accompany the pit to visit, and I followed behind. The pit looked at one thing after another, probably not interested in the plate vase on the Bogu shelf.

I pulled Lao Zhao at the right time, "Brother Zhao, I asked you about that a few days ago...... Lao Zhao was stunned and said, "You mean jade with fragrance?" ”

I nodded vigorously, but Lao Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't have a way to explain it yet, let's go two days, I'll check the information in these two days." "I lowered my head in disappointment, I didn't think that Lao Zhao didn't know this thing, if you want to unlock the secret, I'm afraid I have to ask Kaoru Mochizuki.

At this time, the pit had already returned from Bogujia, sitting on the sofa with his head down. Song Jin, who had been sitting and watching TV, asked, "What's wrong with Brother Niu?" The pit glanced at Song Jin, didn't say anything, just shook his head.

Lao Zhao came over and said, "Why didn't Brother Niu watch it?" The pit said: "It's all bottles and cans, it's not as exciting as the kitchen." ”

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhao laughed and said, "Brother Niu doesn't have to hide it, I already know your intentions." As he spoke, he took out a red brocade box from a drawer and put it in front of the pit. The pit looked at the brocade box, and then looked at Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhao motioned for the pit to open the brocade box.

When I opened the brocade box, I saw that one of them was a jade pendant in the shape of a mandarin duck, and the two mandarin ducks were leaning together. After looking closely, it turns out that this is the effect of two jade pendants put together, each mandarin duck belongs to a different jade pendant, and when they are close together, they have this effect. What a wonderful design.

Lao Zhao smiled and said, "Brother Niu, this is a little bit of caution, please smile." The pit picked up the jade pendant suspiciously, put it in his hand and looked left and right. Then he glanced at me again, I nodded secretly, this jade pendant beat Lao Zhao when I took it out, I saw that it was an object in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, although it was only a few hundred years old, it was so complete and flawless, it was very rare.

Seeing me nodding, a happy smile immediately appeared on the face of the pit, stood up, and bowed to Lao Zhao again and again to thank him: "Brother Zhao is really timely rain, he can be called Xiao Song Jiang, and he has solved the difficulties of the little brother." Lao Zhao hurriedly held the pit and said, "Brother Niu likes it." ”

"Brother Zhao, how much is this worth, I want it."

"Hey, no, a small object, just give it to Brother Niu, talk about money or not." As soon as he heard Lao Zhao's words, the pit was even happier, and he went up to hug Lao Zhao and called his brother repeatedly.

After solving the matter of the pit, we sat and chatted for a long time, discussing the matter of Yugui and the previous incident in the ancient tomb of Xing'anling. Before I knew it, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and I got up to say goodbye, and Song Jin also followed us to say goodbye. Lao Zhao saw that we were leaving, and he didn't force him to stay, he stood up to see us off, and I looked back when I went out, only to see Zhao Xiaoxu looking at us with the curtain, and I couldn't help but look at each other, blushing, put down the curtain and turned around.

I smiled and went out with the pit. Song Jin didn't go on the same road with us, and Kengzi proposed to give him a ride, but Song Jin said no, and took the bus by himself. As soon as I got in the car, the pit asked me, "Zero egg, is this jade pendant real?" ”

"It's true, not a few hundred years." I nodded and said to the pit.

"How much is it worth?"

I glanced at him with disdain, and said in my heart that this wasn't for his pervert wife, how could he pay it back. "Do you sell it, or give it away?"

"Of course it's a gift, I don't want to know about it, and I can blow a few words when the time comes."

I shook my head helplessly, this is the pit, a big nerve. "As far as the market is concerned, 50,000 to 80,000."

"Eighty thousand?" The pit's eyes widened and he screamed. "Damn, this old Zhao is willing enough, 80,000 yuan of things will be sent, it's so interesting."

In fact, I saw the value of this jade pendant at that time, for business, we will use money to measure, for Lao Zhao, a dragon who drills the ground, maybe this is a small object brought out of the tomb to give to friends. Therefore, the same thing has different values for different people.

It was already late when I got home, so I put down my pit and drove away. I pulled out my key to open the door and went into the bedroom and sat down. Open the drawer, take out the glass bottle, the glass bottle is filled with the two jade beads, through the glass bottle, perhaps because of the lens effect of the glass bottle, the two jade beads appear larger than they actually are. I approached the glass bottle and looked closely, and I felt that the two jade beads were also staring at me like two eyes, and in horror, I quickly put the bottle on the table. Then I thought about it, maybe it's a reflection. I unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and a strong fragrance came to my nose, much stronger than the last time I opened the bottle, I don't know if it was because the bottle was closed for a long time. The jade beads lay quietly at the bottom of the bottle, I turned my hand, and the two jade beads rolled down on the table, in fact, it seems that it is nothing more than two ordinary beads, and I can't see any clues, why does Kaoru Mochizuki want to find me and ask for it? This is a question that only Kaoru Mochizuki can answer.

There was one more thing in the drawer, a diary I occasionally found in the tomb, yes, my sister's diary. I reached out and picked up the diary, and from the outside, it was an ordinary diary that could no longer be ordinary, with a hard cover and a few artistic words printed on it.

I settled down and opened my diary. In addition to the name written on the title page, the first page is simply written about some visits, and as a journalist, it is normal to write these trivial things in a diary. After reading a few pages in a row, there is nothing special about it, it is nothing more than a running account of some work and some daily expenses, my sister is a caring person, and it is understandable to write down daily expenses in a diary.

I took a cursory look at the journals, toothpaste, laundry detergent, instant noodles, etc. Just when I thought it was nothing more than that, an expense record caught our attention: 50 meters of reinforced nylon rope was 150 yuan. What is the 50-meter nylon rope or the reinforced nylon rope bought for? It is absolutely not necessary to dry so many clothes, 50 meters can dry more than 300 pieces, and as far as I know, my sister has no plans to open a clothing store or laundry room, not to mention the reinforced nylon rope, one can lift two tons of heavy objects. I quickly looked at the date of the expenses, September 24, 1997, about half a year before my sister's disappearance.
