Chapter 104: News
Tofu's second uncle is called Dou Yikang, his qualifications are mediocre, he didn't do much when he was young, and a small company was barely operated under the control of his eldest brother, and he didn't start to make a fortune until his eldest brother died.
I poured him a cup of tea and didn't speak, waiting for him to speak.
Old man Dou smiled, showing an emotional look, and said: "The last time we met, you were only eighteen or nineteen years old, and you were so old in a blink of an eye, by the way, what about my nephew?" ”
I said, "What are you looking for him?" At this time, the young girl standing behind him said, "Call him and ask him to come back quickly, we have a good business with him, but there will be no more shops in this village." "The girl was small, wearing a purple short-dressed cheongsam, with a delicate figure and a very beautiful length, but there was a haughty air between her eyebrows. I thought about it and remembered, this girl should be the youngest daughter of the old man Dou, I heard Tofu mention it once, the old man Dou is a second marriage, this is the second wife born.
I smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of good thing it is?" ”
The girl said, "This is our family matter, so don't ask so much." ”
"Family matters?" I said: "He is my brother, his family affairs are my business, if there is anything to say to me, who is a big brother, in advance, I have to listen to it to know whether it is a good thing." ”
Old man Dou still has that kind expression, people are different when they are old, this is too different from when he was young, he said: "It should be, it should be." After a pause, the old man Dou said: "I know that he has an opinion on me, who is an uncle, I am also old, my eldest brother is such a son as him, how can I ignore it, he is not young, and he should also consider lifelong events, so I want to give him the previous real estate, so that he can take care of it and start a family, and I am worthy of my eldest brother." ”
I didn't believe his nonsense, but after speaking, the old man Dou didn't mention anything else, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see Tofu 'come back', so he took the man and the woman to get up and say goodbye, and said to me before leaving: "Please tell him, if you have time, you should go back and see, there is a relic left by his parents, if you want, let him come back." This last sentence was obviously a threat, I didn't say anything, and watched the three of them go.
After a while, Tofu scurried downstairs and said, "Where, where, where is the old man?" While looking around, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing that he was about to fight. I felt a little headache, and said that it was fortunate that the one-eyed dragon stopped him, otherwise the two would really meet, and it would be too disgraceful to fight like this.
I said, "Don't look, the people are gone." Immediately afterwards, he relayed Old Man Dou's words to Tofu, he originally had an indifferent expression, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but be puzzled, and muttered: "What relics?" This old man can't frame me, right? The one-eyed dragon was a shrewd man, and he had already sneaned the general situation, so he said, "The good ones don't come, and the ones who come are not good. ”
Tofu remembered the last sentence of Old Man Dou in his heart, so as soon as the one-eyed dragon said this, he nodded and said: "Go and go, he can still eat me, I won't be able to, I'll go back tomorrow." ”
I said: "Tomorrow I will make an appointment with Ji Xiangzhai to see the goods, or I will accompany you the day after tomorrow." ”
Tofu waved his hand and said that he would just go back alone. When I think about it, this is not in the bucket, in broad daylight, can Old Man Dou still cut people down? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head, feeling that I was a little too worried, so I didn't object. The next day, the tofu returned home, and I went to Ji Xiangzhai to see the goods. The so-called look-at-you-go is a good opportunity to gather contacts to practice eyesight, and generally there are sellers of goods, and friends in other people's networks get together and communicate with each other, and they often take out good goods.
Our shop has been open for half a year, and the business is good, so there are generally such things, they are invited, and as long as they are free, they will not miss it.
The one-eyed dragon looked at the store, I went to Ji Xiangzhai to see the goods, and a group of experts discussed, I did benefit a lot, these people are immersed in the antique circle for more than ten years of connoisseurs, well-informed, for a thing of the origin, provenance, legend, age, composition, can be analyzed very thoroughly.
The abbot was Ji Xiangzhai's shopkeeper at this gathering, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a brown robe. Everyone gathered in the back hall, sat down on the tea, and after a while, he took out something wrapped in yellow cloth and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a newly unearthed goods, and it has just been taken back not long ago, and it will be palmed by everyone." He placed it in the middle of the coffee table, lifted the yellow cloth, and motioned for us to look.
It was a bronze vessel, with a very strange shape, it was a round ball, and the big ball weighed a small ball on top of it, a total of five, and there were many raised points on the surface of the ball, and the bottom of the ball was a square base. I wondered, what is this object, how come I have never heard of it?
Most of the people who came to the party were also puzzled like me, and after a look at it, they heard a person with glasses, who looked like Sven Wen, and was about the same age as me, say, "Is this Fang Guoyin?" As soon as he said this, an old man seemed to remember something, clapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes, yes, this is a good thing." ”
In addition to me, there are some people who probably don't understand, confused, so I listened to the man with glasses explain that the so-called Fang State is the Xia and Shang period, the name of the surrounding tribes and small countries, at that time there was no great unification, there are countless nationalities, tribes, or independent princes and small countries distributed in the land of China, recorded in the archaeological discovery of the oracle bone inscription, unified with the name of the Fang country, the more famous Fang country in history, such as the lonely bamboo Fang, Su Shen Fang, Ji Fang, Changfang, Qingzhou Fang, Dog Rong Fang, etc., Most of the small Fang countries have been annihilated in the long river of history, in the past 4,000 years, these once all over the land of China, Zhufang countries, only left sporadic traces on the oracle bones, causing people to reverie infinitely.
Due to the age, there are few cultural relics of Fang Guo, but in recent years, in archaeological and illegal excavation activities, people have gradually studied the culture of Fang Guo, so some people recognize that it is the seal of Fang Guo, that is, the seal of a certain Fang country in ancient times, and it may even be a national seal.
Ji Xiangzhai's boss himself is surnamed Ji, he nodded with a smile, poured the five-fold round ball square seal, and sure enough, he saw signs of words at the bottom of the square seal, but it was very seriously worn, and he couldn't see what was written. Next is a discussion around the cultural relics of Fangguo, from the history to the latest information, the most difficult to start the valuation, the south and the north, until the afternoon, someone asked a more critical question.
Who stole such a precious thing?
The person who asked this question should also be a young girl who followed the elders to grow knowledge, this is not up to standard, this is originally a secret business, even if Boss Ji knows it, it is impossible to say it on such an occasion, who knows that Boss Ji did not hide it, but said: "This person should have all heard of his name, his name is Lu Su." ”
The old man exclaimed in surprise and said, "I've heard that it is said that what this master has out of his hands is all killer goods, and the buyers who can receive his goods are all among the best in our Guangdong, how did this thing get into your hands?" ”
Boss Ji stopped and said, "I haven't seen him either, it's a long story." He didn't mean to continue, but I couldn't sit still, I didn't expect that the news I had been waiting for for more than two months would suddenly fall from the sky, and I couldn't help myself for a while. But now there are many people with mixed eyes, even if my heart is turned upside down, it is not shown on my face. As the sun set ten, everyone dispersed, and I was the last one to leave.
Boss Ji asked with a smile: "Something?" ”
I said, "Mr. Ji, I stayed here to ask you something. He didn't speak, but put himself back on the mahogany chair and motioned for me to speak.
Immediately after, I said, "Can you contact Lu Su?" ”
Boss Ji was surprised and said, "What, you want to ask him for goods?" ”
I said: "It's not that I want the goods, I can't afford his goods, I can't hide it, I've been looking for him for several months, it's for some personal grievances, you want to help me get in touch, I'm grateful." ”
Boss Ji is a native of Guangdong, he is very courteous, and he is not bad, he nodded and said: "That's sorry, I don't have Lu Su's contact information on hand, you know, do their business, hide it very deeply, this thing in my hand was also transferred from a friend, he owes me a favor, so let it be given to me." So, this friend of mine has gone abroad, and when he comes back in two days, I'll get in touch with you. ”
Things finally have some eyebrows here, I put my mind at ease, don't go back to the store after the season, after eating and drinking, I remembered after closing the store, and I haven't asked how the situation is on the tofu side.
I called Tofu, but the phone rang and hung up automatically, and this usually happens when there is no signal.
I said in my heart that the address of the tofu house, with the planning of the city for more than ten years, now it seems to be a little off, but it is not so bad that there is no signal, right? I felt something was wrong, and seeing that it was dark outside, I wouldn't run over again at night. Seeing this, the one-eyed dragon smiled and said, "Dongjia, your relationship is really good, but don't listen to what I say, he has only been gone for a day, nothing can happen, this is Shenzhen, not a wilderness, are you a little worried?" ”
I was embarrassed to be said by the one-eyed dragon, and I said that the tofu is more than 20 people, and it is not so easy to have accidents, and I blame this kid for being too unreliable in his usual affairs, which makes people very troubled. Thinking about it like this, I also put my mind down and fell asleep. Tofu called early the next morning, and the one-eyed dragon looked at me with one eye, with a 'look, the man is still alive'.
