Chapter 1 Antiques
"Handsome guy, get up ~~, handsome guy, get up ~~~" The alternative alarm clock sounds to herald the arrival of a new day, our hero squinted, hated and helplessly got up from the bed, reached out and pressed the damn alarm clock, and sighed in a low voice: "I can't wake up naturally from sleep, for me, there is nothing more painful in life than this." "I kicked the quilt, put on my shirt and pants, and ran into the toilet.
To introduce, Yang Tian asked, he is twenty years old this year, he looks pretty good, a little more handsome than ordinary people, but he is far worse than those star-level handsome guys. Growing up in an orphanage, he was successfully admitted to XX University at the age of eighteen, and was assigned to the unpopular archaeology department by the school. There are optimism, and there are also withdrawn and unsociable.
Yang Tianwen closed the door, ran out of his rented 40-square-meter kennel, got on his bicycle, and rode to school. Breakfast is saved, and being hungry is no big deal. The kennel is close to the school and can be reached in two minutes by bike.
Don't look at 40 square meters, it feels a bit big for one person, but if you add a few rows of dense bookshelves, a room full of old books, and an old desk, it will seem a little crowded.
Yang Tianwen's school is just a second- or third-rate university, and it has a relatively wide management, as long as you don't influence teachers and classmates in class, you can do anything by the way. Yang Tianwen is a good student with excellent character and learning, he has never missed daily attendance, and his grades are excellent, all for that damn scholarship. Yang Tianwen, who has no parents to support him, not only has to be self-reliant, but also does not take this kind of bonus for nothing.
In college, the relationship between classmates is relatively light, because in addition to class, everyone rarely communicates, Yang Tianwen is even more so, after class, he rushes home, because there is no problem of living on campus, so basically he can only call some people's names, and there is no friendship.
The curriculum in the archaeology department is very few and very loose, and Yang Tianwen has more time to plan for life. After class, according to common sense, Yang Tianwen hurriedly ran out of the classroom, and called as he walked: "Fatty, I checked for a long time last night, and finally found out, that piece of jade is really famous, it is worth buying, I will go over." ”
On the other end of the phone, a simple male voice came over and said, "Brother Qian, is that a joint venture between the two of us?" The fat man is one of Yang Tianwen's few friends, all of whom came out of the orphanage, but this fat man came out to work early in the morning, and was not admitted to the university like Yang Tianwen.
Half an hour later, Yang Tianwen came to the city with familiarity, a small market specializing in buying and selling antiques from stalls, and there were even some dilapidated and unique books and ancient treasures from the past dynasties. Of course, more of them are fakes, but there are still a lot of people who come to pan for gold, and Yang Tianwen has been making a living by reselling some real gadgets since he came out of the orphanage. It's like some small copper coins, small Buddha statues and so on. The cost is low, the profit is not bad, and if the general eyesight is good and the luck is good, the things bought for dozens of dollars can be sold for hundreds or thousands.
After locking the bicycle, the fat man was joined and squeezed into the crowd, to be honest, most of the people who came here were some elderly middle-aged and elderly people, buying and selling some old things, which was also a hobby and to pass some time.
The two of them came to a stall in a relatively remote position familiarly, and greeted the boss familiarly: "Grandpa Fortune, where was the ancient jade last time?"
A very energetic old man of about sixty years, pretending to sleep on the old man's chair, squinted his eyes when he heard the voice, sat up and said: "Young man, I can't see that you really know the goods~! "No one knows what the old man's name is, everyone calls him Uncle Cai, or Lao Cai or something.
Yang Tianwen smiled and didn't speak, but the fat man rolled his eyes, and he didn't think so, he has been hanging here for more than a year, two years, and he is not familiar with it? But the fat man was not stupid enough to say it to offend people.
The old man took out a brand-new wooden box, opened it, handed it over, and said, "Check it." ”
Yang Tianwen took out the magnifying glass in his pocket and studied it, jade is a kind of thing, good or bad depends on the dark color, and whether there is flawless silk. Of course, in order to sell well, you have to have some fame, such as the ancient jade brought by an emperor in the Han Dynasty.
After carefully looking through and checking for more than ten minutes, the boss was lying on the chair, half-squinting, and did not make a sound to urge.
"Yes, it's true, the fat man gives money!" Yang Tianwen said, closing the box. By the way, he took out an envelope of a dozen old man's head bags from the inner bag and handed them to the fat man. He thanked him: "Thank you God of Wealth." "Saved a master's word.
After paying, Yang Tianwen handed the box to the fat man and said, "In the afternoon, I may not be free, you take it to the bank, rent a treasure locker and put it away first, and then go to contact the buyer online." ”
The fat man was stunned for a moment, although he used to be like this, but the number had never been so large before, and he couldn't help asking, "Are you so relieved of me?"
Yang Tianwen listened, grinned, and said, "Of course." ”
The fat man nodded happily and left with his things. This piece of jade was bought for nearly 2,000 yuan, and it was the largest transaction since the two partners in the past two years.
Yang Tianwen is very relieved, firstly, everyone grew up and had deep friendships, and secondly, it is absolutely impossible for the fat man to leave himself to do this line of work. If you can't even tell whether something is true or fake, then you still have a fart? In the Taobao industry, I don't dare to say that I know astronomy and geography, but I also know most of it.
After the fat man left, Yang Tianwen asked, "Grandpa Fortune, are there any old books such as fragments of wild history, let me take a look." ”
"Nope. The old man replied, "You kid want to read for nothing again?"
Yang Tianwen has been here for nearly two years, and those who are familiar with him don't know that this kid's favorite thing is to read books for nothing. Don't look at Yang Tianwen's inconspicuousness, in fact, his IQ is as high as 249, and the difference between 1 is 250, he has an unforgettable superb ability, and he is an absolute geek.
Yang Tianwen was not disappointed, stood up and was about to leave, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at something, which was a square stone half an inch thick that the old man used to cushion the corner of the chair. If it was just a stone, of course, it couldn't attract Yang Tianwen's attention, the key was that what appeared on the stone was a compass pattern. The compass is generally used by feng shui masters to side feng shui, or it is used to avoid bad luck and evil ornaments, in these stalls, the compass is of course not rare, there are many types, large and small, different styles. However, the compass pattern on this stone seems to be naturally formed, and there is no carved image, giving people a sense of unity.
"Grandpa God of Wealth, what is the name of the stone under your seat, is it for sale?" Yang Tianwen asked.
The old man looked under the chair, reached under with his hand, pulled out the slate with a light draw, looked at it, handed it over, and said, "Oh, this thing, I picked it up on the mountain before, it's not valuable, if you want to give it to you, just buy one get one free." ”
If you don't want money, and it's something you're interested in, Yang Tianwen naturally won't take it politely, and thanked him: "Thank you, I'm leaving." ”
Walking around, I found that there was nothing good and rode away, and the slate was in the front pocket of the bicycle. Riding alone through the city streets full of high-rise buildings, the familiar city in front of him always gave Yang Tianwen a sense of strangeness.
I went around the vegetable market, bought some vegetables and went home. I went to the kitchen and copied a few small dishes, picked a random book on the shelf, opened it, and read it while eating. After so many years, only these books can relieve the loneliness in my heart. Yang Tianwen read a lot of miscellaneous books, the official history of the wild history, the book of war, the book of war, the book of Huangting, the book of astronomy, geography, and the corresponding number of medical divination, but there are no foreign things, because Yang Tianwen really looks down on those things in his heart.
The Chinese nation has a splendid civilization of 5,000 years, and the greatness of its ancestors and the wisdom of its predecessors are difficult to fully comprehend even today, when science and technology are highly developed thousands of years later. A magical photo book, with the theory of the five elements, records the change of people's surnames, future and fate, can science explain it?
The celestial phenomena change, unpredictable, the stars twinkle, which contains infinite philosophy, as early as ancient times, there is an astrological divination saying, driving away good fortune and avoiding evil. What's more, there is the Warlock Danfang, who pursues the art of immortality. The magic of acupuncture is far from being comparable to today's medical skills, and the greatness of the ancients cannot be expressed in words. Ancient legends, glorious history, how many people go to remember now?
After eating, I packed up my things, washed them, and went back to my desk, because the space was limited, so the small old desk was placed in front of the bed. I sat down, picked up the cigarette on the table, lit it, took a deep breath, and after the meal, I was happy like a fairy, and I felt it for a while, and then buried my head in the book. There are no classes in the afternoon, but there is a lot of time, and today I have made a big deal, and I can rest for a while.
was relishing, I don't know when the time passed, suddenly a discordant mobile phone ringtone, Yang Tianwen didn't look up, reached out to pick up the phone on the table, and answered: "Hey~~"
