Chapter 104 News
Tofu's second uncle is Dou Yikang. He has mediocre qualifications and has no big achievements when he was young. A small company was barely operated under the control of his elder brother. It was not until his elder brother died that he began to make a fortune. No matter how many of them, I don't know. Tofu rarely mentions these people, as they don't exist.
I poured him a cup of tea, but didn't say anything, waiting for him to speak.
Old Man Dou smiled, showed a look of emotion, and said, "You were only eighteen or nineteen years old when you met for the last time. You are so old in the blink of an eye. By the way, where is my nephew?"
I said, "I'm out, what's the matter with him?" At this time, the young girl standing behind him said, "Call him and ask him to come back quickly. We have something good to ask him for. After passing this village, there will be no shop." The girl was small, wearing a purple short cheongsam, with a delicate figure and a very beautiful face, but there was a sense of arrogance between her eyebrows. As soon as I thought about it, I remembered that this girl should be the youngest daughter of Old Man Dou. I heard Tofu mention it once that Old Man Dou was married for the second time, and this was the second wife.
I smiled and said, "I don't know what a good thing it is?"
The girl said, "This is our family matter, don't ask so much."
"Family affairs?" I said, "He is my brother, and his family affairs are mine. If you have anything to tell me, the eldest brother, in advance, I have to listen to it before I know if it is a good thing."
Old Man Dou still had the same kind expression. It is different when people get older. This is much different from when he was young. He said, "It should be, it should be." After a pause, Old Man Dou said, "I know he has opinions about me, my uncle. I am also old. My elder brother is just a son, so I can't ignore it no matter how he is. He is not young anymore and should consider lifelong affairs. So I want to give him the previous property so that he can calm down and start a family and start a business. I am worthy of my elder brother."
I didn't believe his nonsense, but after saying that, Old Man Dou didn't mention anything else. After waiting for a while, he didn't see Tofu 'come back', so he got up and said goodbye with the man and woman. Before leaving, he said to me: "Please tell him if you have time, go back and see if you have time. There is a relic left by his parents. If you want it, let him come back." The last sentence was obviously a threat. I didn't say anything and watched the three of them leave.
After a while, Tofu ran downstairs and said, "Where, where is that old man?" While looking around, he rolled up his sleeves and showed that he was about to fight. I felt a little headache, and thought to myself that it was fortunate that the one-eyed dragon stopped him, otherwise it would be too disgraceful to let the two meet and fight like this.
I said, "Stop looking, the person has left." Then, I passed on Old Man Dou's words to Tofu. He originally looked indifferent, but after hearing the last sentence, I couldn't help but wonder, and muttered, "What kind of relics? This old man is not the one that covers me, right?" One-eyed dragon is a shrewd person, and has already found out the general problem, and then said, "The good ones don't come, and the comers are not good. Since he comes to the door, there are ones and twos, so let's figure it out."
Tofu was in mind the last words of Old Man Dou, so when the one-eyed dragon said this, he nodded and said, "If you go, go, I can eat it, I will go back tomorrow."
I said, "Tomorrow I will ask Ji Xiangzhai people to see the goods, or I will accompany you the day after tomorrow."
Tofu waved his hand and said that he could just go back alone. I thought it was true, it was not in a fight, it was in broad daylight, and Old Man Dou could cut off people? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head, feeling that I was a little worried, so I didn't object. The next day, Tofu went home, and I went to Ji Xiangzhai to see the goods. The antiques are about connections and eyesight tests. The so-called watching is a good opportunity to gather connections and train eyesight. Generally, sellers with goods are in stock. Contact friends in other people's circles to get together and communicate with each other, and what they take out is often good goods.
Our shop has been open for half a year and the business is good. Therefore, we usually get invited to do this and you won’t miss it as long as you have time.
One-eyed dragon look at the store. I went to Ji Xiangzhai to check out the goods and discussed it with a group of experts. I really benefited a lot. These people are experts who have been immersed in the antique circle for more than ten years. They are knowledgeable and can analyze the origin, origin, legend, era, and ingredients of a thing thoroughly.
The abbot's party was Ji Xiangzhai's shopkeeper, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a brown long gown. Everyone gathered in the back hall and sat down to tea. After a moment, he took out something wrapped in yellow cloth and said, "Everyone, this is a goods that have just been unearthed. I just took it back, so I gave it to everyone to take it." He put the thing in the middle of the coffee table, lifted the yellow cloth, and signaled us to see it.
It was a bronze ware with a strange shape, with a ball of balls, with a small ball on top of the large ball, with a total of five. There are many raised points on the surface of the ball, and the bottom of the ball is a square base. I thought it was strange, what kind of object is this? Why have I never heard of it?
Most of the people who came to the party were as confused as me. They looked at it and heard a man wearing glasses who looked gentle and gentle, about the same age as me, saying: "Is this Fang Guoyin?" As soon as he said this, an old man seemed to recall something and clapped his hands and said: "Yes, yes, yes, this is a good thing."
In addition to me, there were some people who probably couldn't understand it and were confused. They heard the man wearing glasses explain that the so-called Fang Kingdom was the name of surrounding tribes and small countries during the Xia and Shang dynasties. At that time, there was no unity. There were countless ethnic groups, tribes, or independent small vassal states distributed in the land of China. The oracle bone inscriptions discovered in archaeologically are recorded and uniformly called Fang Kingdom. The more famous Fang Kingdoms in history, such as Guzhu Fang, Sushenfang, Jifang, Changfang, Qingzhou Fang, Quanrong Fang, etc., most of the small Fang Kingdoms were destroyed in the long river of history. In more than four thousand years, these Fang Kingdoms that were once spread throughout the land of China only left scattered traces on the oracle bones, causing endless imagination.
Due to the age of time, few cultural relics from Fangguo will be published. However, in recent years, people have gradually studied the culture of Fangguo in depth, so some people recognize that it is Fangguo Seal, that is, the seal of a Fangguo State in ancient times, and it may even be the national seal.
Ji Xiangzhai's boss was surnamed Ji. He nodded with a smile and turned the five-layer round ball square seal. Sure enough, there were signs of text at the bottom of the square seal, but it was very worn and it was impossible to see what was written. Next was a discussion on the cultural relics of the square country, from history to the latest information, and finally started estimating the price, all over the world, until the afternoon, someone asked a relatively critical question.
Who stole such a precious thing?
The person who asked this question should be a young girl who had learned from her elders. She was inaccurate in this way. This was originally a secret business. Even if Boss Ji knew about it, it would not be possible to say it on such an occasion. Unexpectedly, Boss Ji did not hide it, but said: "You all have heard of this person, named Lu Su."
The old man exclaimed and said, "I have heard that the ones who have been vacant in this master's hands are all beheaded goods. The buyers who can collect his goods are among the best in our Guangdong region. How did this thing fall into your hands?"
Boss Ji stopped and said, "I haven't seen him before, it's a long story." He didn't mean to continue to say it, but I couldn't sit still anymore. I didn't expect that the news I had been waiting for for more than two months would suddenly fall from the sky, and I couldn't do it for a while. But now there are so many people and eyes are mixed, even if my heart is overturned, my face is not revealed. As the sunset is ten thousand, everyone dispersed one after another, and I fell to the last one and didn't leave.
Boss Ji asked with a smile: "Is there anything wrong?"
I said, "Mr. Ji, I stayed to ask you something." He didn't say anything, but used it again on the mahogany chair and signaled me to say.
Immediately afterwards, I said, "Can you contact Lu Su?"
Boss Ji was surprised and said, "Why, do you want to ask him for goods?"
I said, "I don't want the goods. I can't afford them. To be honest, I have been looking for him for several months, for some personal grudges. If you want to contact me, I'm grateful."
Boss Ji is a native of Guangdong. He values etiquette and is not bad. He nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have Lu Su's contact information on my hand. You know, I'm hiding deeply in their work. The thing in my hand was also transferred from a friend. He owed me a favor, so he gave it to me. In this way, my friend went abroad and he will come back in two days. I'll contact you."
At this point, I finally felt a little nervous. I felt relieved. Don’t let Boss Ji go back to the store. After eating, drinking and cleaning up, I remembered after closing the store. I hadn’t asked about the situation on the tofu.
I called Tofu, but the phone rang automatically and hung up as soon as it rang. Usually this situation was not the case.
I thought to myself that the address of the Tofu family's house is a bit off with the city's plans for more than ten years, but there is no signal, right? I felt something was wrong in my heart. I saw that it was dark outside, so I wouldn't run over at night. Seeing this, the one-eyed dragon smiled and said, "Boss, you have a good relationship, but I'll say, don't be displeased. He has only been away for a day and nothing can happen. This is Shenzhen, not a wilderness. Are you a little worried?"
