Chapter 159: Two Mallets

At the end of September of the lunar calendar, the weather in the capital is already very cold.

The leaves on the willow trees seemed to smell the smell of early winter, and they turned from green to yellow, broke away from the fetters of the branches, and swirled and fluttered to the ground.

This scene, if it falls into the poet's eye, may turn into a poignant poem.

But in the hearts of the working people, it is irritable complaining, because there is another job to sweep the leaves.

Guan Er's aunt got up early in the morning, poured the urinal and made breakfast, and swept the fallen leaves of the big willow tree at the door, and her face was sweating after all the busy survival.

As a result, when I returned to the yard, I saw that my son hadn't gotten up yet!

"Dasheng, why don't you get up and don't go to work today?"

A lazy voice came from the side room: "Mother, I have a headache in my toes today, take a day off." ”

Guan Er's aunt, who was busy early in the morning, was angry, and immediately scolded: "Today's toes hurt, yesterday's pig waist hurts, and the day before yesterday, your salary for this month will be deducted!" ”

"Where is the light?" The voice in the side room was not impatient at all: "As long as you work for five days a month, you can get thirteen yuan five, which is equivalent to two yuan seven a day,

Full attendance is twenty-eight yuan five, which is less than one piece of one, why do you say I should do full attendance? ”

"Are you doing the math now? When I was in high school, how did I give my wife a score of 13 and come back? Bastard."

Guan Er's aunt scolded the side room, but her own son listened to her scolding for more than 20 years, and he was already immunized, and he didn't delay his sleep at all.

Guan Er's aunt scolded for two minutes before she was deflated.

When I returned to the main house, I saw that the old man had finished breakfast, made a pot of flower tea and began to suck it slowly.

Guan Er's aunt immediately found the object of her anger.

"I said Guan Ciying, you eat and drink all day long, can you teach your son to learn a little? Dasheng has made you bad,"

"Look at him as a big person, he finally got him to take your class, but suddenly he became a lazy man. I can't find my daughter-in-law in the future, how can I go to see my parents-in-law! ”

Guan Ciying looked at his wife who was squeezing tears, and drank half a bowl of jasmine unhurriedly.

"What's so hard about finding a daughter-in-law? Yesterday, what kind of fourth sister did you have, didn't you tell Dasheng about one? If you want, we can hold our grandson next year. ”

"I don't want to!" Guan Er's aunt was even more angry: "I should tell us something good, but it turned out to be a big girl in the mountains in the west, with three younger brothers and two sisters, this is running for our family's money!" ”

"If we marry in the future and pull things to my mother's house every day, can we withstand the toss with this old book?"

Guan Er's aunt chattered and cursed for a long time, but she didn't realize that the "object of struggle" had shifted from her own son to her fourth sister.

Uncle Guan took a sip of flower tea proudly, squinted his eyes and shook his legs, and he was very good.

An old lady, no matter how powerful she is, can she still play with you? Joke!

But the next moment, Aunt Guan Er asked in a low voice: "I said Ciying, did you say that set of teapots is really worth thousands of yuan?" ”

Guan Ciying smiled contemptuously and said, "How can this thing be accurate?" Some people like old things, he thinks it's cheap, some people don't know the goods, and he thinks that giving away old things is burying people! ”

"Are we going to be higher a few days ago? Dasheng asked for a price at that time, and you didn't stop it, and left people angry. also pointed to the exchange of money for the child and said that the daughter-in-law is there! ”

Guan Er's aunt is a little anxious, although she said that she disliked other girls' "for money", but you have no money at home, so Guan Dasheng is virtuous, who wants to marry him?

But Guan Ciying smiled and said, "Don't worry, he will come back." ”

“.”

"You two are really a pair of dog tempers," Guan Er said hatefully: "I thought that everyone in the world had to beg you."

Thousands of dollars to buy a set of broken teapots, you are still not satisfied, I was blind when I married into your family. ”

"Tuk Tuk Tuk~"

"The second brother and sister are all at home!"

As soon as Aunt Guan scolded a few words, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and then the person who came directly entered the courtyard.

When the couple looked out, they were an old man and a young master, who turned out to be Guan Ciying's eldest brother Guan Cihui and his son Guan Dacheng.

Guan Ciying, who was sitting on the chair steadily, immediately stood up.

"Big brother, come here! Something! Come on, you're here on the morning bus? ”

"The donkey cart in the village went into the city to deliver straw, so we stopped by to take a look, and we just harvested some mung beans and red beans in the field, and took some for you to taste."

Guan Ciying beckoned Guan Cihui to sit down and poured tea for an intimate greeting.

Guan Er's aunt drooped her face, looked at the small pocket on Guan Dacheng's back with disgust, and pouted.

Just a few catties of red beans and mung beans, it's worth a trip from outside the city? I'm afraid I'm not here to borrow money again!

But then, Boss Guan took out a stack of big unity and put it on the table, which surprised Aunt Guan Er.

"Big brother, what are you doing here?" Second Uncle Guan said with a dark face: "Didn't I say that I don't want that money?" If you hadn't carried two bags of grain in '61, all three of us would have starved to death."

Aunt Guan Er was so anxious that she stomped her feet on the side, but she didn't dare to go over and put the money away directly.

Don't look at how she usually scolds her son and husband at home, but if Guan Ciying is really angry, it will be a real fight if she closes the door directly!

"Second brother, I'm not here to pay back the money," Boss Guan waved his hand and said, "I'm here to share the money with you." ”

Uncle Guan Er said suspiciously: "Divide the money? What money? ”

Boss Guan looked at his younger brother and said, "A few days ago, someone from Helan came to our area to collect antiques, and they happened to ask about my house.

I sold a snuff bottle handed down from my ancestors, a hundred and sixteen in all, and our brothers added five to twenty-one, and we should give you eighty dollars. ”

Guan Er's eyelids jumped, and she had a very bad premonition in her heart.

Sure enough, the boss of the sales department asked casually: "Second brother, have you encountered anyone who collects antiques recently?" ”

Guan Er's aunt is not good.

[Okay, you boss, this is the wind that came to divide our property! ] You two brothers have long been separated, and now they are splitting the money? Give us eighty dollars, phew~]

But Second Uncle Guan's focus is not the same as that of Second Aunt Guan, he asked Boss Guan in surprise: "Big brother, how did you know that someone came to me?" ”

Boss Guan looked at Guan Ciying fixedly, and said calmly: "It was said by those Helan people,

At that time, they chatted with me nonsense, and after knowing that my surname was Guan, they said that Kita Nijo also had a surname Guan, and there were good things in his hands, and I wondered if the surname of Kita Nijo was Guan, isn't it you? ”

"Uncle He, there's nothing to do at all," Guan Er's aunt quickly intercepted: "When your brothers split up, there were just so many things, where are there any good things in our family?" ”

"Hehe~"

Boss Guan glanced at Aunt Guan Er, picked up the tea bowl and stopped talking.

But Uncle Guan coldly spit out three words at his wife.

"Get out!"

“.”

The anger in Guan Er's heart suddenly disappeared like a spark that had been splashed with water.

She and Guan Ciying have been married for so many years, how can they not know that the man is angry, and it is a fire.

Guan Erniang lowered her head and walked out of the main house, and the door behind her closed with a "bang".

She turned around anxiously, turned her head and entered her son's side room.

"Dasheng, hurry up, your poor ghost uncle is going to share our family's antiques."

。。。。。

In the main room, Guan Ciying cautiously asked Guan Cihui: "Big brother, do you think those people found me here and found you there?" ”

Guan Cihui slowly shook his head and said, "I can't see it, I took a snuffbox to test them at that time, and I saw that they were not much stronger than a mallet.

And he is stingy, and he doesn't look like a person who does big business, so I just asked those if it was a coincidence. ”

"Maybe it's a coincidence," Guan Ciying said with a sigh of relief: "It is true that several groups of people have come to me these days to see it, some from the south and some from Helan, all of them are a gang, and it is not uncommon to spread gossip." ”

Boss Guan pondered for a long time before nodding.

His second brother is not a foolish person, if there is really something going on, it is impossible not to feel it at all.

The two of them drank tea for a while, and Uncle Guan suddenly said, "Brother, you said Lord Belle, can you come back?" ”

Boss Guan didn't squeak, slowly finished the tea, and then said lightly: "Wait!" ”

"Dad, Dad, open the door!"

As soon as the brothers finished discussing things in the house, they heard the son of the second uncle Guan knocking on the door outside.

The corners of Boss Guan's mouth curled, as if he was smiling, but Second Uncle Guan had a black face.

He opened the door and asked his son coldly, "Now you know?" Are you going to come over and say hello to me? ”

“.”

Looking at the indifferent father, Guan Dasheng held back his words, and could only say in a sneering voice: "It's not that I heard that the uncle is coming, thinking that he must not have eaten yet, so he wants to take the uncle and the eldest brother to eat." ”

"Hmph, you two are also hiding your thoughts," Guan Ciying glanced at the old woman and said in a deep voice: "No matter how much that old object sells, it has half of your uncle's,

Don't be unconvinced, and don't fall monkey with me, or be careful that I'll smoke you two together. ”

“.”

Guan Dasheng and Guan Erniang were stunned, and they really didn't understand how Guan Ciying, who had always been cynical, could suddenly be so angry.

Boss Guan patted the second brother on the shoulder and said, "Why are you so angry with your younger brother and sister?" Your money is yours, I don't need it. ”

"Big brother, what kind of life have we been living all these years? Your house is about to collapse! A matter of thousands of dollars, and you and mine? ”

Guan Ciying directly commanded his wife: "Clean up the east wing, let Dacheng live, sell the pot when you want, and go back after sharing the money." ”

Guan Lao smiled, and didn't persuade Guan Ciying again, he knew that it was useless to persuade him, his younger brother had a bad temper, and he couldn't pull it back.

But his performance fell in the eyes of Guan Erniang and Guan Dasheng, but it was so hateful and hateful.

It's a good object, now I can only split half of my own home, just give you the tea bowl, and we'll leave a teapot!

"Papapa~"

The two families were working awkwardly when the knocker rang again.

。。。。。

Wei Jiaxian knocked on the door of the Guan family, and then said to his brother-in-law Tan Min next to him: "Don't talk later, just make a scene." ”

Tan Min squinted his eyes at Wei Jiaxian, and said in a low voice: "If you dare to hurt heaven and reason, I won't listen to you." ”

Wei Jiaxian said sullenly: "I never do that kind of thing. ”

After the two of them finished saying a few words, Guan Dasheng in the courtyard came out.

"Who are you looking for?"

Wei Jiaxian said: "We are collecting antiques, and I heard that your family has something to sell, so I wanted to come and have a look." ”

Guan Dasheng was angry in his stomach, and immediately said with a nose instead of a nose and eyes: "Who told you that our family has something to sell?" Roll on. ”

Wei Jiaxian's face remained unchanged, and he took out a thick wad of money from his pocket: "We came with money." ”

“.”

Guan Dasheng and Tan Min were speechless.

Guan Dasheng was speechless, because these days I don't know how many antiques have come to the family, and there has never been such a "good mallet"!

As soon as he came up, he directly said that he would accept antiques and pay money directly, so wouldn't it be obvious that "your things are good, and I am willing to be slaughtered"?

Tan Min was speechless, not that he disliked his brother-in-law's mallet, after all, they were both stuffy gourds, and if Tan Min really wanted to speak, it wouldn't be much better.

The reason why he was speechless was that Wei Jiaxian actually spoke a Helan dialect.

When Tan Min was in the army, he had Helan comrades-in-arms, and he was very familiar with Helan dialect, although Wei Jiaxian's Helan dialect was somewhat flawed, but it was enough to fool outsiders.

[Good for you, Wei Jiaxian, it's really not a good thing. 】

"Dasheng, let the family in!"

Guan Ciying in the courtyard spoke, and Guan Dasheng was no longer able to stop Wei Jiaxian from entering the door.

Besides, when he looked at the ticket in Wei Jiaxian's hand, he estimated that it was more than three or four thousand yuan, which was quite tempting.

These days, the people who come to collect antiques are basically Yunshan fog cover and don't tell the real price, and there is really no direct cash.

Wei Jiaxian and Tan Min entered Guan's house, and were welcomed to the main house by Guan Ciying, and poured a cup of tea.

Then he asked, "Where did the two brothers come from?" ”

Wei Jiaxian said expressionlessly: "I don't say where my hometown is, and I don't tell the truth, Mr. Don't ask." ”

“.”

Guan Ciying and Guan Boss were stunned, both of them are people who have seen the world, and it is really rare to see a "real" person like Wei Jiaxian.

Guan Ciying asked again: "Then how do you know that I have something to sell at home?" ”

Wei Jiaxian said: "I heard a fellow say, he said that it was a colorful flower and bird pot from the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty, so I brought money." ”

What a mallet this special brew is! Still a fool, huh?

Boss Guan looked at Guan Ciying, and couldn't help but be a little funny.

Can such a person still do antique trading? I'm afraid I won't be able to lose any pants left!

After the spring breeze blew in the reopening, there were indeed a lot of outsiders in the capital, and they collected the rags and antiques, as if anyone could play antiques.

Uncle Guan asked with a smile: "Then how much money are you going to pay?" ”

This time, Wei Jiaxian did not make a mistake, but insisted: "I want to see if there are any defects first, I can't be blind." ”

"Okay, then I'll show you."

Uncle Guan smiled and asked his wife to take out the things.

A set of teapots with colorful flowers on a white background was placed on the table, and it didn't look unusual.

But Wei Jiaxian looked very carefully, a tea bowl could be seen for a long time, and a complete set of porcelain took more than twenty minutes.

During this period, Guan Dasheng urged many times, but Wei Jiaxian was unmoved, and his fingers were as steady as a machine.

"I said this brother, you want to see things in your eyes!"

Finally waiting for him to finish reading, Guan Dasheng asked again: "I've read it too, let's talk about what price to give!" ”

Wei Jiaxian asked rhetorically: "How much money did others give you?" ”

Guan Dasheng smiled and said, "People paid 20,000 yuan, but we didn't sell it." ”

Wei Jiaxian lowered his head and said sullenly: "Twenty thousand. Then you have to meet a buyer you really like, and I will pay 8,000. ”

"Hahaha~"

Finally, everyone in the room laughed.

Wei Jiaxian's expression and tone clearly told everyone, "This thing is not worth 20,000, but it is about the same." ”

And Tan Min, who came with Wei Jiaxian, couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

[No matter how stupid I am, I can't be as stupid as you. 】

But the next moment, Wei Jiaxian raised his head and said: "Actually, this set of pots is enough to enter the museum, or you can dedicate it to the country." ”

“.”

All of them couldn't laugh.
