Chapter 123: Qingshuitang Antique Street
If you don't even talk about a girlfriend, you have to die alone, which is worse than the lonely star! I was almost in despair, but at this moment, Wen Qingshan suddenly let out a "poof" laugh.
I was stunned for a while before I realized that I had been tricked by him!
I didn't expect that Wen Qingshan, who has always been serious, would make such a joke, and I said with some annoyance: "Boss Wen! How can you do that! ”
Wen Qingshan smiled and said, "Okay, okay!" I'm not going to scare you anymore! Things are not as strict as you think. As far as I know, the Shandong drug king I just mentioned later married a wife and had children, and his daily life is no different from ordinary people. And, as you said, the doctor didn't detect any toxins in your blood, so you don't have to worry too much. In my opinion, the toxins in your body don't affect people. ”
Hearing him say this, I felt a little more at ease, but I was still a little apprehensive, but I couldn't verify whether it would affect other people for a while, so I could only think about the bright side first.
When he left Wen Qingshan's house and returned to school, everyone was talking about Sun Zhengmin, and I don't know where they heard the news that Sun Zhengmin colluded with tomb robbers to steal the cultural relics in the ancient tomb of Loess Ridge, but due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, he was vicious by the tomb robbers.
As soon as the three guys in the dormitory saw that I was back, they immediately surrounded me and asked me about what had happened.
Because of the confidentiality of the information, I couldn't tell them too much, but I only revealed a few points to them: First, Sun Zhengmin's body was indeed found in the ancient tomb. Second, the ancient tomb of Loess Ridge has indeed been stolen.
They wanted to ask for more information, so I prevaricated on the grounds that the police were investigating.
After a few days, it was a weekend, and I planned to go to the antique market when I had nothing to do.
I don't have much interest in antiques, I just want to see if I can find a suitable feng shui compass, although the feng shui compass passed to me by the master can still be used, but the last time I was attacked by a corpse in the ancient tomb, the feng shui compass was accidentally bumped, which made me feel distressed for a long time, after all, it is a relic handed down by the master, I don't want to see it damaged in the slightest, so I plan to treasure it and get another feng shui compass to make it. Although there are many types of feng shui compasses on the market now, most of them are handicrafts, which may not really have the effect of exploring the yin and yang aura.
In fact, if you want to buy an authentic feng shui compass, Guyuan Pavilion has to be sold, but if I go to Guyuan Pavilion, I estimate that Wen Qingshan will not accept my money, and if I can't get it, I will give me a piece directly, which will always trouble him, and I feel a little reluctant to go, so I decided to go to the antique market by myself to take a look, maybe I can find a suitable one.
However, I am not good at antiques, and I am worried about buying fakes, so I told the fat man and asked him to accompany me. He is a close disciple of Wen Qingshan, and now he can be regarded as half an antique expert.
There are several antique markets in Xiangsha City, the largest of which is Qingshuitang Antique Street.
Qingshuitang Antique Street is located near the Municipal Museum, just a few minutes away from Wen Qingshan's home, so I rushed to Wen Qingshan's house first, called Niu Fatzi, and went to the antique street together.
Niu Fat Man is already quite familiar with the area, he led me through two alleys, and then came to the intersection of the antique street, as soon as I raised my eyes, I saw a large archway standing - Qingshuitang antique market. Walking into the street, I was immediately shocked by the scene in front of me, where is this antique street, it is simply a free market street, the street is not wide on both sides, full of stalls, buy everything, but mainly all kinds of handicrafts.
I was dazzled for a moment, and the fat man seemed to be very familiar with this place, and he turned to me and said, "Boss, the people who practice outside here are all buying gadgets, and if you want to buy real antiques, you have to go inside." ”
I nodded, and he led the way, and we walked down the street.
After walking a short distance, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark blue compass with loess on a stall, and my eyes lit up, and I immediately walked over.
I squatted down and picked up the compass and took a closer look, this Yang Gong Pan, at first glance, seemed to be made of bronze, but compared to the compass passed to me by the master, which was also made of bronze, the color seemed to be a little too green, but in my opinion, maybe it was because this compass had been buried in the soil for a long time.
Seeing that I was looking very carefully, the stall owner immediately leaned over and said, "Little brother, you really have a vision, this thing was dug out of an ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty, and it is definitely genuine!" ”
I glanced at him, ignored him, turned to the fat cow and said, "Fat cow, help me take a look." ”
Niu Fat Man took the compass, looked at it carefully for a while, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, handed the compass back to me, and said: "It's a fake, the Song Dynasty rarely used bronze, and this thing is corroded by chemicals, and there is a smell of potion on it!" ”
When the stall owner heard this, his face changed slightly, and he didn't say much, snatched the compass back from my hand, put it back on the stall, and said angrily: "Since you can't see it, don't touch it!" ”
I stood up, glanced at the fat man, and said in surprise: "You kid is not bad, this is only half a year's work, you have already practiced to be sharp-eyed, and you can tell the truth at a glance." ”
The fat man was a little embarrassed by my praise, he scratched his head, smiled and said, "Hehe, this is easy to identify!" Boss, you'd better not expect to find anything real at the stalls, so come with me! ”
I nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you!" Lead the way! ”
The fat cow led me on.
After walking for a while, I saw that there were almost identical feng shui compasses on several stalls, and I suddenly realized that these things were mass-produced!
In order to let me have a general understanding of the antique market, Niu Fatzi introduced me along the way, he said that Xiangsha City is a thousand-year-old city, and there are a lot of antiques dug up before, so the antique market was once very prosperous, and antique collectors from all over the country and even the world have come to Xiangsha City to receive goods, but in recent years, because there are few new large tombs have been discovered, at the same time, the country has also regulated the sale of cultural relics, and it is necessary to obtain the corresponding qualifications and be able to explain the source of cultural relics, in order to open an antique store to sell antiques, And if the sale is the national second-class cultural relics, but also to the cultural relics department for the record, therefore, the current antique street is really doing antique business only five or six, the remaining 90% of the sale is imitation.
As we spoke, we came to the door of a shop, and the fat man stopped and turned to me, "The master brought me to this shop before, and I remember that there seems to be an ancient compass for sale here, so let's go in and have a look." ”
I glanced up and saw a plaque hanging on the door of the shop, engraved with three large characters depicting gold - Han Tang Fang, and a couplet at the door: "Xia Ding Qin brick Zhao Guobi, Tang poetry and Jin character Han article." ”
I followed Niu Fatzi into the store, this store is not too big, the area is about fifty or sixty square meters, compared to Wen Qingshan's Guyuan Pavilion, it is not a little worse. However, the decoration of the store is good, the tables, chairs and counters are made of high-quality wood, exuding a faint wood fragrance, quite retro atmosphere.
The business in the store seems to be good, there are a few customers are bargaining with the shopkeeper, I leaned over to take a look, it turned out that someone took a fancy to a porcelain vase, good guys, the shopkeeper actually offered a price of 100,000, I couldn't help but retreat in my heart, a vase has so much money, so how much does the compass I want to buy?
As I was pondering, the fat cow gently tugged at my clothes and said, "Boss, where is the compass you want?" ”
Looking in the direction pointed by the fat man, there were several feng shui compasses placed on the counter in the corner of the shop, and I hurriedly walked over and looked through the glass counter, and there were really all kinds of materials, including bronze, brass and wood, and the types were also divided into three-yuan plates, three-fold plates and comprehensive plates. Although each compass is relatively old and slightly mutilated, it is generally quite delicate and has obviously been carefully handled.
"Fat cow, are these genuine?"
Niu Fatzi said: "It should be, this store generally does not sell imitation goods, and I will let the boss take it out later." ”
I nodded.
The shopkeeper walked over to us, and he recognized the fat man at a glance, with a surprised expression on his face: "Huh? Aren't you the little brother who came with Boss Wen last time? ”
The fat man obviously had no experience in dealing with people, so he looked a little restrained, and stammered, "He...... He is my master. ”
The shopkeeper smiled and asked, "Why do you have time to come to my small shop today?" ”
I hurriedly said, "I want to buy a feng shui compass, and my friend said that your shop is genuine, so let's come and have a look." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, glanced at Niu Fatzi, and said with a smile: "Hehe, what are you kidding, you want to buy a feng shui compass and don't go to Guyuan Pavilion, come to me to buy it?" ”
I was about to explain, there was a light cough behind me, I turned my head to look, only to see a person standing in front of the store, this person was dressed a little strangely, although it was autumn now, but the weather was still very hot, most people were still wearing short-sleeved shirts, but this guy was wearing a black long-sleeved jacket, a sun hat with a very low brim, and a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. He hid himself so tightly that he seemed to be afraid that others would see his face.
