43 Heirloom bracelets
The eighth daughter-in-law spoke, "Shanshan, don't say such absolute words first, you listen to me tell you about the history of this bracelet first, and then you make a decision." ”
Regarding the abnormal performance of these people, Mu Nan and Ruan Xianchao were a little confused, but it was the eighth daughter-in-law who roughly told the history of their Zhu family that they slowly figured it out. Of course, before this, Zhou Shanshan didn't fully understand.
The people of this village are surnamed Zhu, and according to genealogical records, they were after Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Jianwen was ready to flee with Queen Ma and the crown prince, but Queen Ma considered that her small feet would definitely not succeed in escaping, and it would also affect the emperor and the prince, so she was reluctant to follow. After she managed to cover their escape, she hanged herself.
Emperor Jianwen fled south with the two of them, and finally landed in the depths of this mountain.
After Emperor Jianwen arrived, he cut his hair and became a monk and practiced on the spot, and the food and clothing of the three of them all depended on Zhang Luo, the big-footed nurse, and later helped the prince Zhu Wenkui marry his daughter-in-law, which made this pulse of incense continue.
A few years later, before she died, the nurse called Zhu Wenkui's daughter-in-law to her bed, told her about that history, took off the bracelet on her hand and handed it to her, and also told her the origin of the bracelet.
It turned out that when Queen Ma ordered her to flee with the crown prince, she took off a bracelet from her hand as a certificate. And this bracelet has a great origin, which was a gift from Empress Dowager Lu to her when Queen Ma was canonized. This bracelet is engraved with a line of small characters, "Guozuo Yongsheng, Royal Yongchang", this is the root of Jianwen's life, so the nurse asked her to protect this bracelet, life in the bracelet, life to pass on to the eldest daughter-in-law, so that this bracelet will be passed on forever.
Hearing this, Zhou Shanshan couldn't hold back, stepped forward to grab the bracelet, and said loudly: "Okay, that's mine." ”
The boy was afraid that the bracelet would fall to the ground again, so he quickly protected it and said, "Slow down, don't lose it again." ”
"Hee-hee, I'll slow down, this is a national treasure." Zhou Shanshan probably also realized her rudeness, and said to Mu Nan with a smile: "Give it to me, I want to take a good look at this national treasure." ”
Mu Nan then held the bracelet in both hands and handed it to her.
Zhou Shanshan took it excitedly, and then looked carefully over and over again, and found that there was indeed a line of small characters engraved on it, "Guozuo Yongsheng, Royal Yongchang".
As she looked at it, she asked, "And how much is this worth?" ”
The eighth was extremely disappointed, looked at the old man next to him, and saw that he only lowered his head and didn't answer, so he couldn't help but say, "You don't want to buy it, do you?" ”
Zhou Shanshan pulled her eyes out of the bracelet, looked at the eighth grandfather, seemed to understand something, and immediately smiled and said, "Don't buy, don't buy!" I just want to understand its value. ”
"Oh, that's good," the old man abandoned the burden, "I don't know the specific price, but I heard the old people say that in the last century during the great famine, the whole family really couldn't bear it, so they wanted to buy a bracelet for some life-saving food, and at that time, someone estimated the price, which was worth 80,000 yuan." ”
"What is the concept of 80,000 yuan?" This Zhou Shanshan really doesn't understand, of course, Mu Nan and Ruan Xianchao next to her don't understand either.
"At that time, it was about 400 yuan to buy a yard in the best part of Beijing, so you might understand." The eighth said without hurry.
"Then why is this bracelet still here? No one buys it? Zhou Shanshan wanted to be worth so much money, if she would have sold it, but now that this bracelet is still here, it must be that no one bought it at that time.
"Someone buys it, and there are several people vying to buy it." Lao Ba continued, "In the end, the old people in the family discussed for a long time and did not sell, and this year, more than 90% of our big family, which already has a population of more than 1,000, starved to death, and only more than 80 people were left after the famine. ”
During this period, the eighth daughter-in-law did not forget to announce the death of Zhou Shanshan's grandmother in their family group, and everyone who got the news rushed here, the door was pushed open, the women were crying, the men were busy, and a traditional and solemn funeral began......
Zhou Shanshan's farce of forcing foreign bus money was also forced to stop, but she was not disappointed, because she got the bracelet, and this wealth that was far beyond her expectations made her excited.
Everyone was busy, and no one paid attention to Mu Nan and Ruan Xianchao anymore, and the two of them returned to the car.
Ruan Xianchao saw that Mu Nan was very depressed, although he wanted to say a few words to adjust the atmosphere, but he couldn't find a good topic for a while, and after a short silence, he said, "Go back!" ”
"Wait," Mu Nan thought thoughtfully, "I want to get some money for the old man, I don't have enough here, how much do you have, can you lend it to me?" ”
"I have 20,000 dollars in the car," he said, opening the storage box next to the driver's seat and handing her two stacks of money.
After Mu Nan took the money, he didn't immediately get out of the car to give it to Zhou Shanshan's grandfather, but after thinking about it and thinking about it, he asked Ruan Xianchao, "You said, I gave the money to the old man, will Shanshan take it?" ”
"Quite possibly."
"What then?"
"I have a way." He reached out to her, "You give me the money, and I'll send it." ”
Mu Nan handed him the 20,000 yuan in his hand, and then rummaged through his bag, "I have some here, let's send them over." ”
"No need, Zhou Shanshan will take the money anyway."
"And send it back?"
"It's okay, she'll double it back for us, and I'll give it to the old man in a few days." After saying that, he smiled mysteriously and got out of the car.
After a while, Ruan Xianchao came back, and two people followed him with a table of eight immortals, and many people in the distance were pointing in this direction.
Ruan Xianchao commanded the two people to carry the Eight Immortals Table over and tie it to the roof of the car, and then gave the two people 200 yuan each, and said: "Who else in your village has this kind of Eight Immortals Table, help me pay attention to it, find one and give 10,000 yuan for the information fee." ”
"There shouldn't be any tables like this in our village." One of the two men said, "Boss, I want to ask, why did you spend 20,000 yuan on such an old table?" ”
Ruan Xianchao looked around, and then beckoned to the two of them, which meant to tell them to talk closer, and when the two of them came to him, he said mysteriously and in a low voice: "Two brothers, I won't tell you that this Eight Immortals Table is made of golden silk nanmu." ”
"Jin Sinan? What do you mean? ”
"Let me tell you this, this table can be sold for 1 million in the market."
"Ahh
"Shhh-" Ruan Xianchao hurriedly stopped the two of them, and at the same time looked around again, "Don't make a noise, make a fortune in a muffled voice." ”
"Oh, oh!" The two of them are still very good.
"In this way, you go back to every household in the village and look for it, if there is such a table, you tell me that the information fee will be raised to 50,000 yuan, how about it?"
"Okay, let's go back and find out?"
Ruan Xianchao left the phone number for the two and drove away.
The extremely smart Mu Nan suddenly understood Ruan Xianchao's ghost idea, and his mood was a little higher, and he began to ridicule him: "A dignified police officer has begun to commit fraud." ”
"Haha!" Mu Nan rarely joked with him, and now she took the initiative to joke with him, at least it showed that she was in a good mood, and at the same time showed that she didn't dislike him, so he laughed happily, of course, this smile also has a bit of self-deprecation, "Your classmates should be looking for you soon, and they are willing to buy this table back for several times the price, and then we will quietly send this money back to the old man." ”
"Okay." Mu Nan gave him a thumbs up.
"But please do me a favor, she should call you soon, and you'll tell her like that when the time comes......"
"I'm not going to be an accomplice to you!" Mu Nan interrupted him.
"Okay, then when she calls you, you tell her my phone number and tell her to come to me directly."
"That's pretty much it! Ha ha! ”
Sure enough, as soon as Mu Nan returned to the city, Zhou Shanshan called and asked about the Eight Immortals table, Mu Nan pretended not to know anything, gave her Ruan Xianchao's phone number, and asked her to contact herself.
