In the morning, at eight or nine o'clock, the sun floats in the sky, looking very bright and bright. It has entered the October season, but in the south, the weather is still crisp and clear.

Wang Guan got up early in the morning and took a bus for more than an hour to Lianshe North Road.

Lianshe North Road is one of the busiest places in the porcelain capital. There seems to be a morning market here. It is already very lively in the early morning. There are people on both sides of the street, bustling like a farmer's market.

In addition to the rows of shops on both sides, there are also many small stalls set up on the spacious streets. Each vendor, following the established rules, spreads their goods on the ground.

Because it is the capital of porcelain, most of the things are made of ceramics. There are also bronzes, jewelry, bamboo carvings, root carvings, calligraphy and paintings, ancient coins, old books, furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, etc., all kinds of and all-encompassing.

antique.

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of living standards, a boom in antique collecting has begun in China.

Under the influence of this craze, Wang Guan also became very interested in antiques and cultural relics.

Usually, when I have something to do, I just watch the treasure appreciation column, expert video lectures, etc. I even bought a few sets of books on antique and cultural relic appreciation to study, compare and figure out.

However, interest is interest, and Wang Guan also understands the principle of acting according to one's ability, and has formulated a principle for himself, that is, not to buy, so as not to suffer a loss and be deceived.

After all, the identification of antiques and cultural relics requires a very deep foundation and quality. Wang Guan is very self-aware and knows that with his half-empty skills, there is no need to expect to find anything good.

Wang Guan spent most of the day wandering around Lianshe North Road with the intention of casually looking around and gaining more knowledge. From early morning to noon, he felt tired after walking for several hours.

"Forget it, let's take a rest first and then transfer to the Guomao Plaza to have a look." Wang Guan took a breath and saw a public facility for pedestrians to rest next to him.

At that moment, Wang Guan walked over and before he sat down, he heard a bang and a crash behind him, as if something was scattered on the ground.

"Dingling bell..."

Wang Guan was startled. He turned around and saw a large amount of copper coins scattered on the ground. A vendor in his thirties was squatting down with a frown on his face and hurriedly sweeping up the coins.

Near the street, many pedestrians stopped and watched.

Even Wang Guan was like this. He just watched from the side and had no intention of helping. It wasn't that they were indifferent, but they just didn't want to cause disputes and misunderstandings. After all, you still need to avoid suspicion when you are under the melons and plums.

Helping hastily may make the vendor suspect that you want to take advantage of the chaos to steal his copper coins. Therefore, in this social atmosphere, it is not that easy to do a good deed.

However, good-hearted people also have ways to do good deeds. At least, the onlookers did not disperse. Even if some people had something on their mind, they did not have the courage to do it in full view of the public.

"Hua Hua Hua..."

The hawker's hands and feet were not slow, and he quickly took the copper coins on the ground back into the big bag on his body. There were a few scattered coins left, and he picked them back one by one.

Seeing this, nearby pedestrians also dispersed one after another.

After a while, the hawker finished picking up the last copper coin, looked around, felt that nothing was missing, and left.

At this time, Wang Guan suddenly shouted: "Wait!"

"Um?"

The vendor turned around and looked at Wang Guan with some confusion on his face.

"In the seam, there is..." Wang Guan gestured.

The roads on the street are made of bricks. Although they are smooth, over time and with many people walking, it is inevitable that some traces of the years will appear. There happened to be a box of copper coins that fell into it while it was rolling.

In the direction of Wang Guan, we could see very clearly, but the hawker didn't pay attention. After his reminder, the hawker looked down and found that the gap on the ground was very small, and the copper coins were caught in it. If he wanted to take it out, it would probably take some time.

time.

"Thanks, brother."

The vendor blinked, smiled, turned around and left, not intending to ask for the copper coin.

At this time, Wang Guan said calmly: "If you think about it clearly, it is a Xianfeng treasure."

"What..." The vendor was stunned, stopped, turned around immediately, and walked slowly over. He looked at the cracks on the ground and then at Wang Guan, his expression hesitant.

Xianfeng Chongbao, as the name suggests, is a coin minted during the reign of Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty. There are many formats of this kind of coins, and the prices are also different. The cheap ones are only worth a few yuan, while the most expensive ones are worth 100,000 yuan.

.

Because the copper coin was caught in a small gap, the young man could not tell what format the coin was.

You must know that this bag of coins just fell into the hands of the hawker. He has not inspected it in detail, so he naturally does not know whether there are any expensive coins in it.

After thinking about it, the vendor rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his nails, and gently dug into the gaps.

Wang Guan was sitting next to him, looking half-heartedly, his thoughts wandering.

After a while, the vendor broke off half of his fingernail and finally dug out the copper coin. Before he took a closer look, he noticed that the copper coin was slightly heavy and had a light golden color.

"Yes."

As soon as he got it, the vendor was delighted. When he looked down, he saw the four characters "Xianfeng Chongbao" written in regular script on the coin. The handwriting was clear and deep, without any sloppiness. Looking at the back, he saw the first "hundred" characters, and on the left and right sides were exquisite coin inscriptions.

"Baozhe Bureau, take the lead!"

The hawker looked at it, touched it, and weighed it for a moment, and he suddenly beamed with joy.

Based on his experience, he can naturally judge that this Xianfeng treasure is undoubtedly authentic. Moreover, it is well preserved and has few embroidery spots on the coin. It can be said to be of high quality, and the price is between 20,000 and 30,000 yuan.

"Brother, thank you so much."

However, the vendor did not forget Wang Guan. After collecting the Xianfeng treasure, he immediately turned around and walked towards Wang Guan, expressing his sincere gratitude.

"You're welcome." Wang Guan waved his hand and smiled politely.

"Thank you..." the vendor said, but his expression became hesitant. He suddenly reached out and took out a bright yellow coin from his pocket, and stuffed it into Wang Guan's jacket pocket. At the same time, he said with a smile: "Brother, this thing

Although it’s not worth much, it was consecrated by an expert and it should bring you good luck. It’s my wish.”

After saying that, after stuffing the things into Wang Guan's pocket, without waiting for his refusal, the hawker left in a hurry, as if he was being chased by some wild beast and fled.

"What are you doing running so fast?"

Wang Guan was a little confused. He took out the coin from his pocket, looked at it for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter. He understood why the vendor ran so fast.

This coin, like the Xianfeng Chongbao just now, has a round square hole shape. However, compared with the Xianfeng Chongbao, this coin is thin and very light. Wang Guan weighed it and felt that it was about the same as a beer cap.

.

Moreover, the material of the coin seems to be a cheap alloy. Although the surface is reddish-yellow and reflects bursts of golden light in the sun, you can tell from the weight and texture that this coin is not adulterated.

copper.

Especially on the front, from top to bottom, from right to left, there are four seal characters that attract wealth and treasure. Wang Guan can know that this coin is not any kind of currency in the past dynasties, but a craft coin.

We are not in ancient times. Copper is not a precious metal. It is used to make some exquisite craft coins, and then sent to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples for consecration to pray for blessings, ward off evil, and seek peace.

This is a common thing, and the coin presented by the vendor must be of this type. However, Wang Guan also wondered, given the stingy appearance of the vendor, whether this coin had ever been polished?

Of course, Wang Guan was not angry, but just sighed. He had done a good thing, but he was treated like this. It is no wonder that the social atmosphere is becoming more and more indifferent.

"Who said good people will be rewarded?"

Suddenly, thinking of his own experience, Wang Guan's expression darkened. For a moment, he lost interest in shopping and sat lazily on the bench, carelessly playing with the craft money in his hand.

Although the craft money is very light and thin, it is indeed very well made. The four seal characters for attracting wealth and treasure seem to be engraved secretly on the inside of the coin, and the surface is very smooth.

On the back of the coin, there are some auspicious cloud patterns. Wang Guan's fingers caressed these auspicious cloud patterns.

Originally, this was an unconscious behavior, but suddenly, Wang Guan felt a pain on the tip of his finger, as if it was burning, which made him wake up instantly.

"What's going on?"

Wang Guan quickly looked down and saw that among the auspicious cloud patterns on the coin, there seemed to be strands of red gold light floating, looming and changing.

"Dazzled?"

Wang Guan thought it was an illusion, rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully, but suddenly found that the gold threads in the auspicious cloud pattern moved briskly, forming two simple and natural seal characters.

"As one wishes……"

Wang Guan recognized it, and suddenly found that the coin seemed to have become hot, and there was even a little warmth flowing from the inside of his palm toward his heart.

"What the hell."

Realizing that this was not an illusion, Wang Guan's expression changed with horror, and he subconsciously threw the coins in his hand.

However, at this moment, the coin suddenly burst into brilliant light, and a strong golden light pierced Wang Guan's forehead directly at lightning speed.

"His!"

This feeling, like a pinprick, is fleeting.

After a while, Wang Guan came to his senses and felt a little confused. He hurriedly shook his head and tried to regain some consciousness. After a while, he slowly calmed down and reached out to touch his eyebrows.

The skin between the eyebrows was intact, with no scars as expected. Looking at the coins in his hand, there was no abnormal reaction at all. Not to mention the golden rays, even the sun's rays could not be reflected.

"Is everything an illusion? I'm daydreaming..." Wang Guan was completely confused.
