It's past three o'clock in the morning.

Ji Sheng, who was asleep, heard a knock on the door, and he got up and opened the door suspiciously, and saw that it was Zhu Flocking and Zhi Youcai waiting outside the door.

"What are you two doing so early?" Ji Sheng leaned against the door and said speechlessly.

Zhu flocking was even more speechless: "Mr. Ji, aren't you going to Panjiayuan to see if you can pick up the leak?" Do you want to wait until dawn? ”

Ji Sheng was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhi Youcai said with a smile: "Boss, today is Saturday, Panjiayuan has two ghost markets a week, Saturday and Sunday, of which Saturday ghost markets are the most popular, you really want to try if you can pick up the leak It is best to go early, otherwise when the morning dawns, all the good things will be picked up." ”

Zhu flocking also explained a little.

First of all, Panjiayuan was not originally called Panjiayuan, but Panjiayao, because there were many brick-burning brick kilns here, one of the kiln owners surnamed Pan was the most famous, so this place was called Panjiayao, and later the brick kiln of Panjiayao had no bricks to burn, and this place became a residential area, and the residents thought that the "kiln" of "kiln (brothel)" was not good, so they changed the name of Panjiayao to Panjiayuan.

Secondly, the so-called "ghost market" of Panjiayuan is a temporary market that specializes in selling antiques at three or four o'clock in the morning, and the ghost market can be traced back to the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, when the Ming Dynasty was in decline, and many dignitaries and dignitaries fell into the middle of the road, so they stole the antiques at home and sold them on the street, after all, this is a matter of losing identity, and can only choose to trade with lanterns at three or four o'clock in the morning, so that the buyer can not see his face. It is named because it looks like a ghost.

Therefore, antique dealers know that the ghost market produces good goods.

Panjiayuan continues the old rules, there are two ghost markets a week, and the old customers have a flashlight, and when they wait until half past four, the crowd rushes in, and the market is open.

After hearing this, Ji Sheng suddenly realized, hurriedly took a coat and put it on, and then went out with a box of money.

On the way, Zhu Flocking told Ji Sheng some rules, such as not making loud noises after starting, and when he helps Ji Sheng look at things, let Ji Sheng not ask more, just pay for the goods.

Ji Sheng kept it all in his heart.

……

About half an hour later, Ji Sheng and his party of three came to a place similar to the junction of urban and rural areas.

Today, Panjiayuan is still a demolition site, with an area about the size of two or three football fields, the ground is flat, and there is no construction yet.

As soon as Ji Sheng, Zhu Zhirong and Zhi Youcai arrived here, they found that many merchants on tricycles had arrived, and some had already set up stalls.

Of course, there are also many customers with flashlights squatting on the side of the stalls that have been set up to pick and choose.

"These sellers mainly come from Bac Ha Province, Beijing, Tianjin and surrounding districts and counties." Zhu flocking walked in front and explained to Ji Sheng in a whisper.

Ji Sheng sighed.

They passed the first stall, and it was full of bottles and cans.

Zhu flocking only glanced at it slightly, and then walked forward again.

Ji Sheng didn't know what Lao Zhu meant, so he followed.

Suddenly, Zhu flocking squatted down in front of a used book stall.

The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties, and as soon as he saw Zhu Zhirong squatting down with a flashlight, he immediately smiled and said, "Master, look at the old books?" I'm all good stuff. ”

Zhu flocking said: "Take a look." ”

He reached for an old book and read it.

Ji Sheng and Zhi Youcai had nothing to do, so they also squatted down and picked up a book to read, and as soon as he saw the book in his hand, he was frightened, because this Su was the original book of the Song Dynasty, and the name was "Soldier Seal".

As we all know, the antique circle of modern society has the saying of "Qin, copper, Hanyu, Tang, Jin and Song books", and the Song books refer to the ancient books of the Song Dynasty, especially the butterfly decoration and engraving printing, which are known as "one page of yellow paper and one or two gold".

Ji Sheng was startled when he saw this original engraving and printing "Soldier Seal" of the Song Dynasty, and felt that he had picked up a big leak, so he asked the boss tightly: "How to sell this book?" ”

Zhu flocking glanced at the sound, but did not stop Ji Sheng, and continued to bow his head and flip through other books on the floor.

As soon as the boss saw Ji Sheng asking for the price, he immediately boasted, "This boss, this "Soldier Seal" is a record book of the Ministry of War during the tenure of Emperor Huizong in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and it is a very valuable antique book. ”

A thousand dollars is worth too much today.

As soon as Ji Sheng heard that the boss was asking for so much, he was even more convinced that it was genuine, and he had to pay for it right away.

But I didn't expect Zhu Rongrong to suddenly speak: "These books plus the book in my boss's hand, give you fifty yuan, do you sell them?" ”

Ji Sheng almost choked to death, and the book of 1,000 yuan was directly returned to 50 yuan? And four or five more on the ground?

Of course, the boss was not happy, "Eh, this master, you are also knowledgeable, you look at my side is full of genuine ancient books, how can you buy it for fifty yuan?" You should give at least two hundred. ”

Ji Sheng: "......"

Nima!

I just asked my buddies for a book for a thousand, but now Lao Zhu speaks, and it's only two hundred for six books?

Zhu flocking sneered and said, "You still want two hundred for these broken books?" Fifty yuan loves to sell or not, Mr. Ji, talented, let's go. ”

Saying that, Zhu Flocking got up and stood up to leave.

Zhi Youcai was the most neat, put the book back on the stall, got up and left.

Ji Sheng had promised Zhu flocking before, and after coming here, he would listen to the other party's words no matter what, so he said "oh", put down the ancient book of the Song Dynasty in his hand, and then left behind.

As soon as I took two steps out here, the boss's voice came from behind, "Eh, eh, don't go, sell it." ”

Zhu flocking turned around again, "Fifty yuan, six books, it's okay." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The boss replied helplessly.

Zhu flocking said to Ji Sheng: "Mr. Ji, pay...... Eh, you can give me another copy. He was halfway through his sentence, and suddenly asked his boss to send him a book.

The boss jumped to his feet and said, "You have negotiated the price, why do you still let me send a book?" No way. ”

I wish the flocking soft grinding and hard foam, "Next time we come, you will send a copy." ”

"If you add another five dollars, I'll give you an extra copy." The owner said very shrewdly.

Zhu flocking cut the price with the boss for a while, and finally promised to get another book for fifty-two yuan.

After determining the price, the boss asked Lao Zhu to pick one, and said that some books were not good, but he did not say which ones were not good.

Zhu Flocking disagreed, and went to pick up an ancient book with a blue cover next to the broken book, "That's it." ”

The boss suddenly pressed his hand and said with a smile: "This one doesn't work, you change it." ”

Zhu flocking seems to be very "angry", "What's the matter with your boss?" I paid two more dollars to pick this book, can't I? ”

"This really doesn't work, please look at something else." The boss seems to have seen something, but he refuses to let Zhu flocking take the book.

Zhu Zhiqi's face turned red, and he said hatefully: "Then how much does your book sell?" ”

"Oh, I didn't want to sell this book." The boss directly refused.

Zhu Flocking's whole person was trembling, and his face was cloudy and staring at the boss.

Ji Sheng was beating a drum in his heart, and said in his heart that Lao Zhu drunkard didn't mean to drink, and this ancient book with a blue cover was a peerless treasure? Now it's been discovered by someone's boss?

"It's boring to do business with you." Zhu Zhirong looked unhappy, picked up the ancient book next to him, and then stood up and said, "Mr. Ji, talented, let's go." ”

The boss didn't smile, "Go slowly, don't send it." ”

Ji Sheng still didn't say a word and followed Zhu flocking.

Zhi Youcai pouted at the boss, and seemed to be very unhappy.

As soon as he walked out a few steps, Zhu Zhirong hurriedly handed over the yellowed ancient book he had just taken at the end, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Ji, put this book away." ”

Ji Sheng was stunned, "Huh? ”

Zhu flocking stood still, looked around, and then said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "This is an ancient book of the Song Dynasty, a good thing to open the door, as for the other books, throw them away...... Well, don't throw it now, wait until you leave this side and throw it again. ”

it!

It turns out that you are really a drunkard, and you don't mean to drink!

Ji Sheng was really stunned by Zhu flocking, at first he thought that there were good things in the six books before Zhu Zhu bought, and later saw Zhu flocking looking for the boss to send one more, and he thought that the blue ancient book was a good thing, and in the end, this hateful "hand-to-hand" broken book is the real treasure?

Or a rare book from the Song Dynasty?

I wish you a ruthless person, you hide deeper than anyone else!

Ji Sheng picked up the big leak when he heard it, and he didn't read the book in public, but just glanced at it, the title of the book is called "Su Inspection Documents" and asked curiously: "Teacher Zhu, what kind of ancient book is this?" ”

Zhi Youcai also looked at it curiously.

Zhu flocking said: "I shouldn't have told you here, there are many people, and it doesn't sound good, but since you are interested, I will say it a little, but you remember, don't ask if I ask you to buy anything later, go back and talk to you." ”

Ji Sheng nodded, "Okay." ”

Only then did Zhu Zhizhi smile and said, "Have you heard of Su Lin?" ”

Su Lin?

Ji Sheng really didn't have any impression, if he had to talk about celebrities surnamed Su in the Song Dynasty, his first reaction was Su Shi, and then Su Xun and Su Zhe, he guessed: "Sansu's family? ”

"No, you can't hit eight poles together." Zhu flocking saw that Ji Sheng really didn't know, so he asked again: "Then you always know the poem 'The building near the water gets the moon first, and the flowers and trees are easy to spring', right?" ”

Ji Sheng said, "I know." ”

Zhi Youcai also nodded beside him.

"It was written by Su Lin." Zhu Zhirong introduced this person's life and said: "You may not know much about Su Lin, after all, he did not be a big official in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, but he served as the county inspector of Lin'an, at that time Fan Zhongyan was the prefect of Lin'an, he was modest, recruited talents, and tried his best to recommend talented people with the extraordinary mind of not sticking to one pattern of talents, and it was precisely because of Fan Zhongyan's recommendation that many officials were promoted, one step to the sky, Su Lin also wanted Fan Zhongyan to recommend at that time, and then wrote the poem I just said, Fan Zhongyan really recommended this person, and Su Lin was promoted, If I'm not mistaken, this ancient book should be a review of the inspection written by Su Lin when he was the inspector of Lin'an County, and this book is very precious! ”

Oh my God!

It turns out that the author of the book is still an ancient celebrity?

Although the fame is not particularly great, according to Zhu Zhirong, this book is originally an ancient book of the Song Dynasty, and if it is given value to celebrities, how valuable will it be?

At this moment, Ji Sheng finally understood how much help he had to collect antiques by a cultural relics appreciation master by his side, if he came by himself, not to mention that he would definitely miss this extremely precious ancient book of the Song Dynasty.

Ji Sheng was secretly glad in his heart, thanks to his early win over Zhu flocking, no matter whether the other party is willing to do it with him or not, at least there will be antique appraisal to find the other party in the future, Lao Zhu will definitely help himself!
