"Brother, brother...... What's wrong?" Ronan called out twice with laughter, but as a result, Guan Xiao was still stunned, and the two brothers were a little anxious, this was fine just now, what is the magic barrier? Even saliva flowed out.

Luo Laosan stretched out his hand and pushed Guan Xiao, and the little boy woke up from shock, and quickly reached out to wipe the saliva on his mouth, his face full of surprise: "Two brothers, you are developed." ”

This is a good thing, who doesn't like it, the four little eyes of the Luo brothers are bright. Guan Xiao didn't wait for them to ask, he raised the object in his hand and shook it: "Just now, I felt that there seemed to be something hard in the pocket of this God of Wealth pants in the quilt, what do you see I found?"

The two brothers of the Luo family glanced at each other, and the excitement on their faces gradually faded: "No matter what, as long as the brothers like it, take it yourself." ”

This time it was Guan Xiao who was stunned, he never imagined that the two brothers of the Luo family would give it to him without asking, which made the little boy feel a little embarrassed in his heart: "If there are other things, I will ask for them, but this is too precious, forget it." ”

"What is this?" After all, the third child of the Luo family is still young, and he is very curious.

The object that Guan Xiao is holding in his hand is a cylinder, about 5~6 cm high, the diameter will not exceed 5 cm, the size is just enough to be placed in the palm of the hand, it should be a decagonal or dodecagonal shape, as for the texture, it suddenly looks like jade, the whole body is white, with the unique light of ancient Chinese jade, on each side of the object, carved with ancient seal characters the size of a fingernail, the two brothers do not know.

Guan Xiao excitedly sighed at the object, wiped it vigorously with his hand, and then said: "This thing, if my brother and I are not mistaken, it is already 2,500 years old. If my mind is not mistaken, there is another one in Tianjin now, that one was originally collected by the Li family in Anhui Province, and then fell to Tianjin, and I took a teacher to see it, but the quality and jade quality are far less than this one...... At that time, Guo Moruo also studied this jade and the text on it in works such as "The Dialectical Development of Ancient Characters" and "Xingqi Ming" Commentary". ”

As the head disciple of the Southern Thief faction, Guan Xiao has a very deep foundation in ancient utensils - this is a peerless learning inherited from the Southern Thief faction. In the words that Ding Yichang nagged in Guan Xiao's ear: "To be a thief, you must be a thief with correct values, and you must not let wealth slip out of your hands because of your ignorance." ”

When it comes to thieves and antiques, there are many stories.

Before the Republic of China, pay attention to the gathering place of antiquities, the north is Jingshi and Tianjin Wei, and the most concentrated antiquities in the south are in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, especially Nanjing City, there are many rich people, and it is the founding capital of the previous dynasty, and there are many old things. At that time, the head office of the southern thief faction was located in Nanjing, how many generations of old heads in line with the idea of not pressing the body of art, in their spare time they loved to soak in antique shops, one or two hundred years later, the descendants of the southern thief are all antique experts.

There is still such a classic story in the archaeological circles of Tianjin: in the early years of the Republic of China, there was an old man with a stall on the antique street in Tianjin, nothing to go through the streets and alleys to collect things to sell, one day, the old man stall put out a pair of porcelain cranes, the price of 4 Yuan Datou, more than two feet high, are standing on one foot, the other foot is put away, the quality is quite general, the color matching is not brilliant, most of them are fired in a private kiln in a small town in the south, although there are decades of history, but do not have collection value.

In addition, in the early years of the Republic of China, the warlords were in a panic, and the old generation said that "buy gold in troubled times, and collect antiques safely", this kind of ordinary goods, no one will make a move at all.

The old man put it on for three days and saw that no one cared about it, so he lowered the price and sold two Yuan Datou together.

After the abdication of the emperor, quite a number of broken families of the previous dynasty were exiled to Tianjin, although these children of the Eight Banners ruined the family business, but they still have the price of eyesight. Two days after the old man lowered the price, a broken Eight Banners disciple passed by the side, and pressed the price, and bought them all at the price of 1 Yuan Datou. When the things arrived, the broken child casually touched a small copper spoon from the stall, and after a few clicks, he picked out the eyes of the two porcelain cranes, and then threw the porcelain cranes to the old man.

The Eight Banners disciple spat a mouthful of thick phlegm into the ground: "Good things, if they fall into the eyes of stupid people, they can't be sold for money." The eyes of this porcelain crane are emeralds, and these four emerald beads can be at least 10 Yuan heads. These two broken cranes will be returned to you. ”

Old man Zhu went north to Jinmen, just passed by nearby, and saw this scene, seeing that the children of the Eight Banners were leaving, he took out 10 Yuan Datou from his pocket and handed it to the old man who was shedding tears: "You can't sell this porcelain crane, just give it to me at a discount." ”

At that time, everyone on the street was shocked, and the broken children were also shocked, and the old man who set up the stall couldn't believe that he would meet such a good person. Old man Zhu casually picked up the porcelain crane and smashed it on the street, and at this time, people found that the single leg of each porcelain crane turned out to be a golden rod more than a foot long, at least three or four catties!

Old Man Zhu broke through the Luo Zi and smiled: "This crane is so big, if it is only porcelain, this single foot will definitely not be able to support it, and among the many metals, gold can withstand the high temperature when firing porcelain, which must be specially burned by large families for the sake of wealth and exposure." So...... Good things, in the eyes of stupid people, really don't pay for it. ”

Since then, the antique circles in Tianjin have held Mr. Zhu in high esteem, and the old man has made a lot of friends in Tianjin Wei, and in the early years, he also received a few named and anonymous disciples, so that the knowledge of antiques flowed out, so after the founding of New China, Tianjin once surpassed Beijing in archaeology and antique collection -- of course, it refers to the people.

Guan Xiao's expression was quite vivid, and the curiosity of the second child of the Luo family was also aroused, and he followed up and asked: "2500 years...... Isn't that something from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?"

"Yes, Brother Shi is very knowledgeable. Guan Xiao's words made the two brothers of the Luo family red-faced, isn't this scolding?

Guan Xiao didn't realize that he had made a small mistake, and he was now completely immersed in this instrument: "The two world brothers know that in ancient China, including emperors and generals, there were always people who wanted to live forever and delusionally wanted to become the legendary ethereal immortals......"

When the two brothers of the Luo family heard this, they were stunned again, looked at each other, and shook their heads slightly at the same time.
