My ancestors were all antiques, and at the peak of the period, they opened two shops in Liulichang, and everyone in Sijiu City knew about the antique business.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the family followed his grandfather south and settled down in Jiangcheng. Grandpa entered the local museum and became a veteran expert in the field of antiquities.

In 87, the local salvage bureau salvaged a sunken ship in a certain sea area.

Countless antiques have been found inside.

At that time, the news of the successful salvage of the sunken ship caused a sensation throughout the world.

And grandpa was arrested and imprisoned for more than ten years because of this incident.

I heard that when the wreck was salvaged, there was a dazzling array of exquisite antiques, and everyone involved in the salvage knew that as long as one piece was taken from here, the rest of the life could basically be carefree.

At that time, there were indeed many people who secretly took some things, and Grandpa was no exception, but everyone returned and it was fine.

But in the end, only my grandfather was arrested.

Because of the things that Grandpa took, an antique that resembled a key was missing.

The search team came to my house many times, but found nothing, and when I asked my grandfather, he gritted his teeth and said that he didn't take anything.

Many years later, on the day my grandfather came out, dozens of luxury cars were parked at the gate of the prison, all to pick up my grandfather from prison.

But he didn't sit in any of them, and got on the bus with the driver's disgusted eyes.

When I got home, this situation still didn't stop.

Every day, the house is full of people, and it is not lively.

At that time, I was not very old, but eighteen years old, and I couldn't understand what these people were doing at home.

In addition to these people coming to the door, I also found that there were always some people hiding near my home.

It seems to be staring at grandpa.

But the grandfather was unusually calm, and on the third day after being released from prison, he began to close the door.

Whoever comes? Grandpa chose not to see it.

During that time, even my father, uncle and second uncle disappeared, leaving only the fourth uncle to take care of him at home, and the fourth uncle arranged for me to deliver food to my grandfather every day, so I brought the food to the door every day, called grandpa, and only then would a hand be stretched out to bring the food in.

This lasted for about a month.

When my grandfather came out of the house again, I noticed that he had a lot of scars on his body.

A palm print appeared on his face, the kind that had to be scratched with a long fingernail to see blood.

It looks a little embarrassed.

And he was pale, coughing constantly, and coughing up some black blood from time to time.

His physical condition also deteriorated.

I remember the day my grandfather was released from prison, although his mental state was not very good, he did not fall into this step.

Although I didn't spend much time with my grandfather, I was still quite worried when I saw him become like this.

I tried to persuade my grandfather to go to the hospital, but my grandfather sternly refused.

His eyes fell on me, and he suddenly asked me, "Zhuo'er, is our family's money enough to spend now?" ”

I was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, because after my grandfather was imprisoned, our family opened an antique shop in the Tianxin Pavilion Antique Market in Jiangcheng.

Business is actually pretty good, especially on the day my grandfather was released from prison, and the business in the store got better.

To say that the family is particularly rich, and there is no special wealth, but it is definitely enough to spend.

I looked at my grandfather suspiciously, and then said, "Enough flowers." ”

"It's good to have enough flowers, Zhuo'er, the family's business may fall into your hands in the future, you can learn some skills from your grandfather during this time."

Grandpa said leisurely, giving people the feeling that he couldn't get up in one breath.

I was very worried about my grandfather's situation, but he signaled me not to worry, and in the next few months, I have been learning from my grandfather, and I have to say that my grandfather has a very senior ability in antiques.

Whether it is from the appraisal aspect or the feng shui aspect, it is very powerful.

When I was studying, my grandfather also praised me for my strong talent and ability, and I studied for half a year, which is worth a lifetime for others.

But what my grandfather didn't know was that I was actually very interested in these things since I was a child, including when my grandfather was in prison, I taught myself.

Whether it's calligraphy or painting, porcelain, pottery, or jade, I can identify the authenticity.

One day, about half a year later, more than a dozen cars suddenly came to the door of the house, led by a black extended version of the "Red Flag" car.

It's also the type of custom exclusive.

Ordinary people are definitely not qualified to ride in this kind of car, when he got out of the car, I saw that he had a jade wrench on his finger, and I could see at a glance that this was an object from the early Song Dynasty.

It's worth a lot of money.

After he came, his eyes fell on me, his eyes were a little deep, and the aura emanating from his body was also very strong.

He was about sixty or seventy years old.

He looked at me, then said slowly, "Young man, is your grandfather here?" ”

"What are you looking for my grandfather for? He was not in good health and did not see any visitors during this time. ”

I said no.

In the past six months, my grandfather has indeed not seen any living people.

He listened to my words, his expression did not change, on the contrary, he said calmly: "You report to your grandfather, and say that Xu Pingchun has come to see him, and he will definitely see me." ”

I looked at this person suspiciously, and knew in my heart that this person must also be a big man with status.

He said, "Wait, I'll report it now." ”

I turned around and went inside, and my grandfather was usually in the bedroom now, and he didn't usually see the light.

When I reached the door of his room, I heard a dry cough coming from inside.

"Ahem......"

"Grandpa, there's someone out there looking for you."

"Nope."

An old, hoarse voice rang out.

"But he said that his name was Xu Pingchun, and said that as long as he said his name, you would definitely meet him......"

"What did you say?"

Grandpa's voice suddenly became a little excited.

I felt a little flustered in my heart, and this was the first time I had seen him react like this.

"Xu Pingchun said he wanted to see you."

I repeat it simply.

My voice fell to the ground, and my grandfather was silent for about a minute.

Only then did he speak: "It's still coming, you let him in." ”

I hummed, I didn't expect this guy to be right, as long as he reported his name, my grandfather really saw him.

I turned around and ran out and said to Xu Pingchun, "My grandfather let you in." ”

The corners of Xu Pingchun's mouth twitched, and his smile was very stiff.

Then he was about to go inside, and there were dozens of followers standing beside him, and these followers looked well-trained.

"You're waiting here."

Dozens of black-clothed followers all responded.

The aura is not ordinarily powerful.

He walked inside alone, and I followed.

When he entered the room, the first thing I heard heard from inside was, "Brother Chen, shouldn't you take things out now......?"
