Chapter 4 A stunningly beautiful man in the antique market
In the center of Jiacheng City, there is an old river area called Yuehe, which is surrounded by quaint wooden houses, which have now been developed into storefronts.
Pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and canopy boats with red lanterns pass under the bridge, full of the charm of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. From time to time, you can see a few little brothers and sisters in ancient costumes walking by, which is another scenery.
And Yuehe Street has a unique tradition, that is, every Saturday morning there will be a large number of antique lovers to set up stalls, receive goods, which is very attractive to a tourist, and attract all kinds of craftsmen, such as bamboo weaving, sugar people, ginkgo bookmarks, and some performance art performers, such as bronze figures, erhu, etc., so that there are a lot of people on this day of the week.
As soon as I walked down from the Moon River Bridge, I picked up five dollars on the steps, and I was in a good mood all of a sudden. "After so many days of bad luck, it has finally developed in a good direction, and it seems that it is really an unlucky ghost!"
Naturally, the beauty also came out, and now it hangs around my neck, with her head and tail in a circle, and it is a fur scarf. But it's a pity that no one else can see it.
"Beauty, what can speed up your recovery?" I pinned a Bluetooth headset on my ear, of course, I didn't turn it on, mainly because I was afraid that others would mumble blindly when they saw me talking alone.
The beauty sniffed in the air and sighed, "There is nothing good." ”
"Of course, these are said to be antiques, but in fact, they are all sold as handicrafts, how can there be a so-called pastel general jar in the Qianlong period that only sells for six hundred yuan, right!" I pouted and said. I have been involved in the antique industry, before I entered the Yuxiu company, but most of the scams are scams, and I disdain to leave after I figure out the routine, but many of the methods are well understood.
"If it weren't for my son's broken leg and surgery, I would never have sold this baby!" a man was kicked out of an antique shop with a black cloth wrapped in black cloth in his hand, his face flushed with anger. "You don't know the real treasure with your eyes, you are still an antique shop!
I was attracted by the movement, and I watched the excitement while nibbling on the corn in my hand.
The owner of the antique shop was dressed in a Tang costume, wearing a jade wrench on his hand, touching his round belly, and his face was disdainful: "You are still a treasure? If you say that you dug it out of the ground and bought it from someone else, I will still believe you." If you don't believe it, ask everyone, he is a poor rural man of three generations, and he actually said that he has a Qianlong enamel color emperor hunting celestial ball bottle in his hand, and the person who uses this thing must be a high-ranking official of the third grade or above, and it must also be rewarded by the emperor's old man! Your ancestor, your ancestor is still the prime minister!"
"Hahaha!" everyone around them burst into laughter.
The man was so angry that he couldn't speak, glared at the shopkeeper fiercely, and walked out through the crowd.
"If this thing is real, it started at the last auction for five million, and it was sold for five thousand in my store?"
As he passed me, I happened to see a corner of his bottle peeking out and had a bad look. "This thing is not low!"
"Quick, buy it!" the beauty urged in my ear, and when I heard it, I hurriedly chased after it.
"Big brother, big brother!"
I shouted a few times, and the man turned his head to look at me, and hugged the thing in his arms tighter, but also stopped, looking at me warily: "What are you doing?"
"Can you show me your bottle, I'm interested!"
The man looked me up and down, and saw that I was dressed ordinarily, not very old, and did not look like an antique player, so he immediately said very unceremoniously: "Just you, little girl, I am a life-saving thing, I don't have time to joke with you!"
I smiled: "Big brother, I won't suffer a loss anyway, not to mention that there are so many people here, and the police department is across the bridge, so I can't rob your things." ”
The man hesitated for a moment, and said reluctantly: "Find a place to talk." ”
So I followed the man to the promenade by the river, which was the back door of the restaurants, so there were fewer people. The man opened the black cloth and carefully placed the contents of his arms on the ground. "Now, look!"
It is indeed very beautiful, about thirty centimeters high, the lower part is a round sphere, and the upper part is a cylindrical bottle mouth with the thickness of a wrist. On the front is the image of the emperor with six courtiers hunting, vivid, and on the back is a twelve-word poem, stamped with several seals, and at the bottom of the bottle is the red "Qianlong year" four words.
The enamel itself is gorgeous and colorful, and with good painting skills, this bottle is very ornamental.
I dipped a little water in the river and slid it down the bottle with my ring finger, which was astringent, oily, and slightly uneven.
"Big brother, you're an old thing!" I said.
"Of course!" the eldest brother immediately laughed when he heard this, and his guard looked relaxed. "This is my ancestral thing, how can it be a modern imitation, the store doesn't know the goods!"
"It's not a modern imitation. I nodded, and then changed the subject: "But this is not something from the Qianlong period, it is an imitation of the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty." But this craftsmanship is good, it's still good to put it on the bookshelf to make a decoration, you can make a price!"
The eldest brother's face pulled down and he looked at me again, as if considering the truth of what I said.
In fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, as the shopkeeper said, his ancestors were farmers, and a slightly better one was a small business owner, and he really couldn't get such a good thing. But it was indeed passed down from his grandfather, and of course he didn't believe it was a fake.
I saw him struggling and knew what he was thinking. And he said, "I heard you just now, that your son broke his leg?"
The eldest brother "brushed" me and said, "Four thousand, four thousand, you take it!"
I shrugged: "Five hundred." ”
"You! you're kidding me!"
The eldest brother stood up with a "rub", blew his beard and glared angrily, picked up the black cloth on the ground and wrapped the bottle again, and saw that he was about to leave. I reached out and pressed his hand, and said, "You just made a lot of noise, that shop is the biggest antique shop here, and he said that your thing is worthless, and you don't want to sell it today." ”
I stood in front of him and said, "Your son has just had surgery to splint the steel plate, right? The cost of hospitalization these days is not low, and the steel plate will have to be dismantled after a while, do you really think about not selling it to me?"
The eldest brother's face changed unpredictably, and finally said fiercely: "Three thousand!"
"A thousand. ”
"Two thousand!"
"One thousand fifteen. ”
"Damn, one thousand five is one thousand five!" The eldest brother shoved the bottle into my hand and stretched out his hand: "Give money!"
I paid for it with my phone and stuffed the bottle straight into my backpack.
"That's a good deal!" At this time, a person came out of the alley, this person was tall, definitely more than 1.85 meters, wearing a thickened gray sweatshirt and a pair of AJ's new shoes.
I turned my head to look at him, only to feel that my eyes suddenly lit up, the standard distant mountain eyebrows, starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, clean hair and a smile at the corner of his mouth, made him look extraordinarily bright, as if the sun was shining warmly on his face.
I've never seen such a good-looking man, like a fawn that suddenly crashes into my heart.
"You, what do you say?" I shamefully committed a nymphomaniac, he is definitely my favorite type! Sunshine with stability, stability with gentleness, how is it the best in the world!
"Haha!" he smiled slightly, stuffed a business card in my hand, and said, "If you want to resell the ball bottle this day, you can find me." ”
With that, he left, a man like the wind, coming and going as fast as he could.
"Su Lou?" I looked at the business card, which only had a name and a phone number, and no other information, not even a LOGO. "Hey, forget it, I don't sell this bottle either. ”
I stuffed my business card into my backpack and forgot about it and this person, but I still knew that such a person would not really break into my life.
Then I went around the antique market again, those things are really fake, and even the low-end scam made of resin "Nine Turns of the World" is still being sold, and I dare to ask for 300,000 yuan, which is also blind.
After a morning of turning, I ended up buying only a bunch of food and went straight home.
I put the Celestial Sphere Bottle on the table I used for live streaming and asked the beauty, "Beauty, can this thing make you recover?"
The beauty jumped on the table, pressed her paws on the celestial ball bottle, and nodded: "This bottle itself is nothing, but someone has transferred spirit stone powder into this enamel, although it is very small, but it is better than nothing." ”
"Spirit stones?"
"It is a special jade that can store spiritual energy between heaven and earth. As she spoke, she closed her eyes, and soon I saw a little fluorescence emanating from the celestial vial, which followed the beauty's claws directly into her body.
After just a few breaths, the beauty opened her eyes, put down her claws, and sighed helplessly: "It's not even one-tenth of a low-grade spirit stone." ”
"Does that work?" I asked.
The beauty licked her paws, and then she didn't know where to conjure up a piece of jade slip and threw it over.
I was busy catching it, this jade slip is like a jade nothing-matter card, engraved with two characters, I have never seen it, but I always feel familiar, and I actually subconsciously recognize the word "congenital". The beauty said lightly: "This exercise is called "Innate", and it is the most suitable to lay a foundation for you." ”
As she spoke, she opened my snack bag on the table, opened a box of orange brown candy by herself, and sat down while eating: "It's a pity, this little aura is only enough for me to summon this exercise, you use it first." ”
Although the beauty said this, I still couldn't put it down and couldn't put it down, and I couldn't help it: "How to use this?"
"You haven't cultivated your divine sense yet, just stick it on your forehead. ”
As soon as the jade slip touched my forehead, I felt a hot current rush out of the jade slip and rush directly into my mind. It was like a frightened loach jumping in my head, and I instantly felt like my head was going to explode.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
"Bear with it!"
I tossed and turned on the bed for a while, and the headache subsided, and I gasped for breath, realizing that in just a moment, I was already sweating.
But I was surprised to find that there was an extra chapter of "Innate" in my mind, sprinkled with hundreds of words, obscure, and mysterious.
"Just a few words, just write it out, and it will cause me to suffer in vain. I sat up from the bed, and a stream of heat flowed down from my nose, and I wiped it, okay, it actually hurt straight out of the nosebleed!
"The jade slip is to prevent people from prying eyes, but if it is used, the jade slip will be scrapped. The beauty explained as she ate.
When I looked at it, sure enough, the jade slip had been broken in half, and it was useless to stick it on my forehead.
"Come, loosen the belt, sit cross-legged, and ...... with your heart facing up."
"Only four hearts...... "The five hearts are the hearts of the head, the palms of the hands and the hearts of the feet. Others are easy, sit cross-legged with your feet facing up, which is too difficult for me to be a fat man of one hundred and seventy pounds!
"If you don't want to be hemiplegic, break your legs!"
"Oh......"
"Take a deep breath until it is full, hold it for thirty seconds, and spit it out...... Yes, continue to do this until you can feel the breath moving in your body, and then follow me and say: Those who cultivate spiritual roots and meditate also cultivate the Tao, and those who strengthen spiritual roots and move their hearts are also enemies. Tend to be all kinds of qi in the viscera, take its spirit to exist, walk in the limbs and hundreds of remains, empower the body, people can ...... with ghosts and gods"
