Chapter 19 Wealth rubs shoulders
Linliu is about to start high school, and she followed her mother to visit her grandfather, and took this opportunity to show off in front of her mother's family.
Over the years, Lin Liu rarely visited his grandfather, mainly because his mother was too cold to Lin Liu, which caused Lin Liu to be indifferent to his grandfather. As he grew older and his realm improved, Lin Liu realized that his grandfather was also a very close relative. This time, Lin Liu wants to chat with his grandfather well.
Seeing his grandfather, Lin Liu cordially and enthusiastically called out "Grandpa", and Grandpa was very happy to see Lin Liu landing so beautiful and generous. Lin Liu looked at his grandfather, he had a white beard, and the skin on his face was like withered bark, and he was mentally beaten, sluggish, and his body was relatively weak.
Lin Liu talked and laughed with his grandfather, and his grandfather talked about the "Analects" and "Book of Songs", and his insights were quite profound, and some words made Lin Liu unable to understand. When Grandpa dragged out his voice and recited the "Book of Songs" in a subdued tone, Lin Liu almost laughed out loud. Lin Liu felt that his grandfather was a real cultural person, and his knowledge was too superficial compared to his grandfather, and he regretted that he hadn't come to ask for advice often over the years.
Grandpa used all his strength to write "Kunpeng Zhizhi" for Linliu, and the four big characters were vigorous and powerful. Lin Liu carefully folded it, wrapped it in newspaper, and put it in her handbag, treating it as a treasure.
In the afternoon, when Lin Liu and his mother were leaving, his grandfather took out an inkstone from the inner room and gave it to Lin Liu, arranged for Lin Liu to collect it, and used this inkstone to practice calligraphy with a brush when he had time. Grandpa said that many years ago, he took in a depressed sick old gentleman from the north, and let the old gentleman stay at home for a period of time to recover from his illness. Before leaving, the old gentleman gave him this inkstone. Lin Liu took a cursory look at the inkstone, the texture is very delicate, and the four edges are carved with unicorns, and the unicorns are lifelike. Lin Liu said that he would live up to his grandfather's expectations and would study carefully in the future.
After returning home, Lin Liu put the unicorn inkstone in the drawer. Xinghua listened to her father's introduction to the origin of the inkstone, and was very curious, so she secretly took it to the antique market to let people see how much it was worth. An antique dealer couldn't see through the inkstone, but he took a picture with his camera, both on the front and on the side. Xinghua took the inkstone to another old antique dealer to see, and the old gentleman looked at it carefully and said: "Ordinary inkstone, there is no collection value, usually worth up to 100 yuan, it just so happens that my grandson needs an inkstone to learn calligraphy, sell it to me for 200 yuan." "Xinghua heard that this broken thing is worth 200 yuan, and 200 yuan can buy 10 garlic mortars! I feel that I have met a good seller, and I am afraid that the buyer will change his mind and sell without hesitation.
Xinghua went to the restaurant and asked for a fried lamb tripe and a bottle of wine, and she drank it so well!
When he got home, Lin Liu asked, "Why is the inkstone missing?" Xinghua explained the situation truthfully, and she was complacent, she realized that she had done a very beautiful thing. Lin Liu was angry and anxious, and cried helplessly.
In the afternoon, the antique dealer who took pictures came to the door through inquiry and asked for 100,000 yuan to buy the inkstone. Xinghua was dumbfounded, and hurriedly went to find the antique dealer who bought the inkstone, and others told Xinghua: "The antique dealer said that there was an accident at home and he couldn't do it anymore, so he withdrew from the store and picked up his things and left." Xinghua cried with regret.
Xinghua found the antique dealer who took the photo again, and asked what kind of treasure the unicorn inkstone was. The man told her: "The photo has been shown by a few connoisseurs, it is something from the palace of the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor used it." The value is immeasurable. ”
Xinghua went home and fell asleep in bed, not eating for several days. A few days later, Lin Liu's grandfather passed away. For the Linliu family, it is really "the house leak is even rainy".
Fugui passed by the Linliu family in this way.
