Those who do business are most afraid of official errands, especially those whose foundation is not very clean, and meeting officials is like meeting a ghost in the middle of the night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But the shopkeeper has been on the ground in the capital for many years, and he can be regarded as well-informed, so he was anxious at this time, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhou said that I was joking, I just kept to myself and did business, and I really don't know what the situation of those Tufuzi is." ”

When Zhou Shaobai heard this, he sneered, deliberately lengthened his voice, imitated the tone of the officialdom and said, "Really?"

The shopkeeper nodded busily: "Seriously, absolutely seriously, can't be true!"

"Okay!" Zhou Shaobai smiled, picked up the tea cup and sniffed gently, slowly took a small sip, held it in his mouth, let the tea fully soak on his tongue, and tasted the tea fragrance, and did enough of the official master's style, then lazily raised his hand, pointed to the screen behind the counter and said, "The shopkeeper, please tell me, how did the screen come from?

Hearing this, the shopkeeper and the young man glanced at each other, breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart fell back into his stomach, and he smiled secretly: A layman is a layman in the end!

The shopkeeper sat up straight, smiled, and said calmly: "Lord Zhou, do you know that the funeral screen has never been a stone screen, and I have never heard of a wooden screen accompanying the funeral." ”

The young man listened to it, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, only to say that Zhou Shaobai made a fool of himself in front of the expert without learning and skills, which made him angry and scolded for no reason. Who knew that when the shopkeeper saw that he was out of order, he glared at him again, and he was so frightened that he quickly restrained his smile and stood with his back upright.

Zhou Shaobai raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "Oh, so that's the case, I really didn't know before, thank you for the advice." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "The so-called art industry has a specialty, and it is normal for Lord Zhou to not know the middle doorway." ”

Zhou Shaobai lowered his head and held the tea cup, staring at a tea leaf up and down with concentration, and said, "Yes, after all, I don't know much about literary antiques. But I used to have nothing to do in my spare time, and I turned through the "Book of Medicine" superficially, and vaguely remembered that it recorded a different tree called red iron stone wood, which was produced in the Xiban area. ”

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, he didn't understand pharmacology, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Zhou Shaobai suddenly mentioned the "Book of Medicine" and what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, so he had to continue listening to it with anxiety.

"The red iron stone wood grows very slowly, and if it wants to grow, it will take two or three hundred years to work. The root of this tree, called the Red Earth Dragon, is a rare medicinal herb, and I have forgotten what its effect is, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that after the red iron stone wood grows, the wood is solid and heavy, the fragrance is long, and it does not rot when it encounters water and insects. If it is used to make a coffin, the body is placed in it, and after a hundred years, it is still incorruptible and immortal, and it is as intact as ever. Therefore, this wood is extremely precious, and many families are looking for it with a lot of money. ”

Zhou Shaobai finished speaking slowly, the face of the shopkeeper was extremely unsightly, he barely squeezed out a smile, and said: "I didn't expect Lord Zhou to be so proficient in medicinal materials, but I don't know what Lord Zhou meant when he said this?"

Zhou Shaobai smiled and said: "As soon as I entered this hall, I smelled a strange fragrance, so I took a closer look, and then I found that the strange fragrance should come from the four screens of mahogany inlaid shells and flowers in the counter. Boss Fang, if I'm not mistaken, this screen is made of red iron, stone and wood. No, to be precise, it should have been made of red iron and stone wood by dismantling the coffin in the tomb. ”

The shopkeeper's body was shocked, and he smiled: "Lord Zhou, this is not right. It is true that many people use red iron and stone wood to make coffins, but this kind of good wood is also used by wealthy families to make furniture. Red mouth and white teeth, you can't just say that my screen is made of coffin board without evidence!"

Zhou Shaobai listened to this rebuttal, smiled slightly, and said: "The shopkeeper is reasonable, we must pay more attention to the credentials when we do things, so that people are convinced." ”

After speaking, Zhou Shaobai suddenly put down the tea bowl, stood up, walked behind the counter, stood in front of the screen, and looked carefully.

The shopkeeper was shocked, got up and followed behind, and said nervously: "Lord Zhou, there is really no ...... in our store."

Zhou Shaobai waved his hand and looked at the screen intently.

This screen is divided into four doors, Zhou Shaobai took a closer look, and felt that the carving was extremely meticulous, but he didn't care about appreciating it, but concentrated on looking for it.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhou Shaobai saw what he was looking for.

He smiled slightly, pointed to the eyes of a relief crane on the screen and asked, "The shopkeeper, take a look at this." ”

The shopkeeper looked at it in shock, and saw that the crane's eyes were inscribed, no different from other cranes' eyes, and he couldn't help but say: "There is nothing wrong with the eyes of this crane." ”

Zhou Shaobai smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it?" If you look closely, the pupils of this crane's eyes are not round, but angular. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was shocked, and he hurriedly looked carefully, only to realize that what Zhou Shaobai said was indeed true, he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly his face turned pale and sweated like rain.

The young man next to him was very surprised when he heard this, and asked, "What if the eyes are angular and angular?"

Zhou Shaobai replied: "Do you know why only this crane has angular eyes, but the crane next to it is not?"

The young man naturally didn't know, Zhou Shaobai said: "Because of the position of this eye, there was originally a seven-star nail nailed. The nail body of this seven-star nail has seven edges, so the nail hole becomes an angular appearance. The seven-star nail is used to nail the coffin lid to prevent the corpse from changing. ”

The young man was stunned, and suddenly realized, the shopkeeper next to him couldn't help but argue, Zhou Shaobai suddenly opened his eyes, and said angrily: "So far, you still refuse to admit it, right! Okay, and take you back, let you be properly tested on this screen!

It turned out that he saw that the shopkeeper still refused to obey, so he simply deliberately changed his face to scare and scare.

The shopkeeper couldn't hold it anymore, so he knelt on his knees and cried: "Lord Zhou! Grandpa Zhou! My old house is just a serious businessman, and I don't know that this screen is actually made of coffin boards! I was deceived by Wu Lao Liu!"

The young man next to him also knelt down and said loudly: "This screen was brought by Wu Lao Liu, it really has nothing to do with us! Wu Lao Liu, you have made us miserable!"

When Zhou Shaobai heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Who is Wu Laoliu?"

"Wu Lao Liu, he is a peddler, and he often sells some good things in our shop, by the way, I have always suspected that he is a native master!" The shopkeeper's face turned red, and he said hurriedly, "This screen was also brought by him, and he lied to us that he received it from a big family in the middle of the road, but how do you think it is a coffin board! My lord, this matter really has nothing to do with us! Please Lord Zhou to find out!"

As he spoke, the shopkeeper and the young man were so anxious that they kowtowed to Zhou Shaobai.
