Chapter 6 Chapter 006 The Gao Family's Birthday Banquet
I took the money and didn't stay in Xuan Bao Zhai, turned around and went to the snack bar outside the market, and ordered two crab roe buns with duck blood vermicelli.
The snack bar faces the Chaotiangong market, and the restaurant is full of diners, most of whom are customers visiting the antique street, and there are two elderly men at the table next to me, discussing the birthday banquet of the Gao family. ‘
I listened intently for a while, and I could get a rough idea.
It is said that the Gao family is a famous family in Jinling City, and the Gao family is a famous business giant in Jinling, with accumulated assets of more than 100 million yuan, and is a frequent visitor to the wealth list of Jinling.
At that time, the old man of the Gao family encountered a low point in his life, and his career and financial luck were not smooth, so he asked for directions to the Buddha, and under the guidance of a certain master, he spent a lot of money to invite back a special golden Buddha town house from a collector in Chaotian Palace.
It is said that this golden Buddha is a rare treasure, is the treasure of the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan, who relied on this golden Buddha to get rich.
Coincidentally, since the old man Gao invited the golden Buddha back, the business has been smooth, and the money has been pouring into the Gao family, just a few decades of time, the old man Gao has become a figure on the Jinling rich list, and the family business involves antiques, catering, and mechanical finishing industries.
These are all thanks to the blessing of the golden Buddha that the old man invited back, which calmed the aura of the Gao family and kept the fortune of the Gao family.
However, the master of the year also said that this golden Buddha can only protect the fortune of the Gao family for forty years, and after forty years, the Gao family must be handed over to the next destined person, otherwise the aura of the Gao family will be uninsured, such as a catastrophe.
So there is a saying about the Gao family's birthday banquet, and the old man of the Gao family plans to give this golden Buddha to someone who is destined to be at the birthday banquet of his eighties.
Before this, many celebrities in Jinling had ideas about this golden Buddha, and some people even bid to 98w to invite this golden Buddha back from the old man's hands.
But the Gao family is not short of money, and insists on giving the Golden Buddha to the destined person at the 80th birthday banquet.
What do you mean? The guests to the banquet brought the same price of the collection to the entrance, whose collection to the appetite of the old man Gao, then the old man will exchange the golden Buddha for him, and this person will become the destined person of the golden Buddha.
It's kind of interesting.
I heard this and sighed to myself, regardless of whether the Golden Buddha was an object handled by Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, the Golden Buddha during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty has been handed down for hundreds of years, and it must be a rare fine Buddha statue.
Coupled with the legendary attributes attached to it, but anyone who does business and plays antiques wants to get wealth, and is bound to want to invite this golden Buddha home, so that the golden Buddha of the Gao family has become the focus of attention in the Jinling antique circle, and the golden Buddha has become a veritable golden bun.
"Uncle." I asked the uncle next to me curiously: "According to what you say, isn't it true that everyone has the opportunity to take over the Golden Buddha of the Gao family, as long as there is a matching collection in hand, you can exchange for the Golden Buddha?" ”
The old man waved his hand and spit at the stars: "What you think is beautiful, the estimated value of the Golden Buddha in the Ming Dynasty is generally in the price range of 400,000, how many people can take out 400,000 treasures in the entire Chaotian Palace, and some people don't have this number of treasures in a store?" ”
"To put it bluntly, it's not a game for the upper class of Jinling, the Gao family's birthday banquet is all Jinling's top characters, young man, even if you can get a million treasures now, you may not be able to enter the gate of the Gao family."
The old man's analysis makes sense, but one more thought suddenly came to my mind, if I can also be present at the Gao family's birthday banquet a few days later, does that prove that I also have a chance to change to the Gao family's Golden Buddha?
It doesn't matter if you can get the Golden Buddha or not, the key is that I think it will be Bai Chengliang, the executioner who ruined my Wu family back then.
……
After eating and drinking, I went out and went to West Street, planning to rent a house near Chaotian Palace to settle down, and then find some way to make money.
Chaotiangong West Street is relatively remote, the flow of people is relatively sparse, there are also some stalls selling antiques, and there are some miscellaneous small stalls for fortune telling.
"Little brother, please stay, do you want to make a divination? Bu Yi hexagram is not a prophet, Bu Yi hexagram has a worry-free future, first divination and then give money, no money! Hey! ”
I stopped, and I was greeted by a slightly shabby fortune-telling booth with a huge gossip map, and the fortune teller was wearing a gray cardigan, about sixty years old, with a pointed beak and monkey cheeks, and a mustache was particularly conspicuous, looking like a big traitor on TV.
The person in front of me is the person who later changed my life in Jinling, Zhou Zhou Kun, the fortune teller of West Street.
To be honest, the first time I saw Zhou Zhou Kun was not cold, first of all, I could smell the smell of cheap perfume on him, and the small magazine he was holding in his hand was also the kind of bare-ass fierce woman, and there was a unique obscene aura all over his body, and he knew at a glance that he was not a good bird, and the old saying that indulgence and obscenity were people like Zhou Kun.
I stopped, not to find Zhou Kun's fortune telling, but to the billboard next to his stall: There is a house for rent.
"Little brother, I see that your facial features are showing your blessing face, and righteousness is born with the sky, and then something good happens to you in Jinling, the old man will help you help you, and it can help you go to the next level."
On Wednesday, Kun showed a mouth of jet-black gums, a colorful teacup was placed on the table, and the smell of inferior cigarettes came to his face.
I'm not interested in fortune telling, I knew a lot of fortune tellers when I was in Tongcheng, three points by mouth and seven points by Meng, really capable fortune tellers really can't pick out a few.
"It seems that the little brother doesn't believe that I can tell fortunes and divination, come on, come on! I'll give you a divination first, if I approve this hexagram and then make up the hexagram money, I want to say that the little brother can smash the old man's stall at any time, how about it? ”
Before I could speak, Wednesday Kun stared at me and glanced at me.
"Little brother's Tiangong acupoint protrudes, which means that you came to Jinling from due north? Right? ”
I was stunned in my heart, the location of Tongcheng happened to be directly north of Jinling, and I was really told by this guy, but this is not surprising, as far as I know, most of the fortune tellers observe carefully, and it should be a certain detail of my body that he sees suspiciously.
"Let's take a look at the Congtian acupoints on your left and right, these two acupuncture points correspond to your parents respectively, your two acupoints are sunken and bloodless, if I guess correctly, my brother's parents should no longer be alive, right?"
Well?
I suddenly chuckled in my heart, if I came from due north and was blinded by a fortune teller, then how did he calculate it when my parents were not there? Could this guy ......
Seeing that I didn't speak, Zhou Zhoukun smiled indifferently and pointed to the center of my eyebrows and said.
"Finally, let's talk about the Yueyang acupoint on the center of the little brother's eyebrows, this kind of acupoint is quite exquisite, either yin red, or plain cyan, if I guess correctly, the current identity of the little brother should be ......"
