Chapter 9 Dongding Pavilion
Yuanxiao looked serious, "Hey, this is not the same thing!"
"Nonsense!" I looked at Lantern Festival, "I bought antiques from the living. I bought the goods directly from the source of goods! I took them from the dead, and I didn't pay them!"
After hearing what I said, Yuanxiao smiled, "Okay! Oh, by the way. What have you done these days? How are your second uncle? Is there any news?"
The words of Lantern Festival made my heart tremble suddenly, "Oh, don't mention it, can you believe it? During this period, my buddy has gone down to the tomb again!"
After hearing my words, Yuanxiao suddenly turned his head and looked at me in disbelief. I was startled by his actions, quickly reminded him, pointed at the front and shouted: "Hey! Damn! Look ahead!"
Only then did Yuanxiao come to his senses and turn the steering wheel hard, and we almost hit the curb. Then I let out a long sigh, "I'll go, you want to die, don't pull me!"
Yuanxiao didn't care about telling me anything else. After adjusting the direction of the car, he immediately asked, "What you said is true or false? Just kidding!"
I smiled and said, "Do you think I'm joking?"
Yuanxiao looked at me in confusion, "Like! You are the only one? You are going to the tomb yourself? Don't say whether you dare or not, you may not be able to find it even if you look for it!" Yuanxiao thought for a moment, then smiled, "You won't dig up any ancestral tombs of anyone!"
"Go to your uncle! Can I do that unethical thing? Digging graves and digging graves was a slash in ancient times!" I patted my chest, "Tell you, my buddy is laying a serious ancient tomb. I dare not say that there are too many, it will always be there for hundreds of years!"
After I said this, Yuanxiao even more disbelief, "Just blow it!"
After hearing what he said, I was a little dissatisfied, "Lanxiao, please stop talking about this, Qilian Mountains, Island Tombs, Shanhuan King City, where friends have never been to, and why don't all the friends escape unscathed!"
Yuanxiao waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense. Did you go to those places alone? The fight to pour the ancient tombs was so good that you dared to go to the ancient tombs alone after you got the level of your second uncle or boss Wen Mo. I look down on you, let alone you, I can't do it!"
"Hey! What do you mean? I belittle myself and take it on my own! What do you mean by not talking about me? You can't do it either?"
Yuanxiao smiled, then coughed twice, cleared her throat, "Okay, Brother Ran, stop being serious, what's going on?"
I also put away my smile and told Lantern Festival about what I found under my ancestral home.
Yuanxiao's brows became more and more frowned as I told them. When I finished speaking, Yuanxiao seemed to have not come back to her senses and had not spoken for a long time. And I also followed my own narration and thoughts returned to the ground of my ancestral home. The mysteries that had been put aside by me echoed in my mind again.
Both of us were a little distracted, especially Lanxiao, who didn't know that they had driven the car. Fortunately, I saw the street sign wrong, so I reminded Lanxiao in time. Lanxiao cursed and turned around and returned. I found a parking space for a long time before I parked the car.
Yuanxiao and I got out of the car. While picking up the things, Yuanxiao was still thinking about what I told him, "Zhuoran, what do you mean is that your ancestral home is built on an ancient tomb. Based on the contents of the tablet, it can be inferred that the person buried in your coffin was a person from your family, and a certain eldest grandson of your Zhuo family? The problem is that you don't know this person yet!"
I nodded, "It's true at the moment!"
Lantern Festival continued: "From the layout of the ancient tombs under your ancestral home, the tomb chamber you went to should be only a small part of the entire ancient tomb, and more parts have been buried due to collapse."
I nodded again. Yuanxiao shook his head helplessly, "This is so strange, it's simply incredible! If you didn't tell me, if you changed to another person, I would think that this is nonsense to me!"
"Hey!" I pointed at Lantern Festival with my hand, "You boy..."
Yuanxiao quickly shook my hand, "I'm excited. I haven't finished saying it yet, but I believe what you said! I believe!"
Then I glared at him and put my hand down. "Let's have something to say in the store. Look at my buddy's own store." As he said that, Lanxiao took me into Pan's home.
Lantern Festival told me that there are three major antique markets in Beijing, Panjiayuan, Baoguo Temple and Liulichang. Among them, the most famous one is Panjiayuan. Not only Chinese people are familiar with it, but foreigners who come to China also know that there is a Panjiayuan in Beijing, which specializes in Chinese characteristics. Therefore, Panjiayuan is large in scale and has a variety of things, and it is difficult to distinguish between real and fake. Sometimes even the big bulls in the circle have a look at it!
Maybe it was a weekday, and there were not many people in Panjiayuan. Lantern Festival walked in front with a big bag, and while walking, he introduced me, "You know, a retired director of a cultural relics bureau from another city came to visit Panjiayuan and found several Warring States pottery figurines, whom I liked very much. The old director felt that he had been in contact with cultural relics for most of his life and should not be mistaken when seeing this kind of thing. So he bought it at a high price. Later, more than half a year later, the old director came to Panjiayuan again, but unexpectedly saw similar Warring States pottery figurines, and there were a lot of them. Now the old man wondered, is it that the Warring States pottery figurines have a large number of existences? As a result, the old director asked someone to check it, and guess what happened?"
I shook my head and laughed at Lantern Festival, "I found out that the manufacturer! The old director almost had a heart attack at that time!"
I felt a little emotional after hearing this, "It seems that it is really difficult to buy good things here!"
Yuanxiao waved his hand, "It may not be certain. After all, it depends on your eyesight. If you have enough eyesight, you can find good things. If you don't have enough eyesight, it is normal to pay some tuition. Someone spent 800 yuan to buy a Qianlong official kiln here! If you leave it to now, it will be at least ten thousand times more!"
I walked and chatted with Lantern Festival, and went to the front of an ancient building shop. The entire store looked ancient and savory, but the location was a bit off. There was a plaque on the front of the door with three big words written on it: Dongding Pavilion!
When I saw these three words, I knew that this must be the storefront of the Yuanxiao. Dongding Pavilion and Dongding are the characters of Dong from Tang Handong and the characters of Ding Tang Yuanding. The names of the father and son are combined into the store name, which shows that they have a deep affection between father and son.
I nodded, "The name is good! The location is a bit short!"
Yuanxiao looked helpless, "Every in this place is worth every inch of land. You know how many relationships I have obtained it! Not to mention the shops, even the rows of street stalls at the door are all snatching their heads!"
Lantern Festival took me into the store, and a pretty young girl was busy packing things. I felt a little confused and was stunned for a moment.
Yuanxiao looked back at me standing at the door in a daze, then asked, "What are you doing? Come in!"
I pointed to the girl, "What's going on?"
Yuanxiao looked at me in surprise, "My clerk, as an accountant, as a cleaner, and as a cashier! I don't have time to keep staring in the store!"
I nodded suddenly, "Oh, I thought it was..."
Yuanxiao smiled, "I knew you were definitely thinking about it in a wrong way!"
The girl heard our conversation and turned around and glared at us, then continued to work. I was a little embarrassed by being stared at. I looked at Lantern Festival, but I didn’t expect that the clerk dared to glare at the boss!
I looked at Yuanxiao's embarrassed expression and couldn't help but smile and whispered: "Where did you find this aunt? Who cares about whom are you?"
Yuanxiao scratched her head, "I, the clerk, just don't like to joke, but I'm not going to do anything to do. You see, the shop is packing so well!" As she said that, Yuanxiao said to the girl, "Well, Sisi, don't do anything else, put the things in this bag on the shelf first. After a while, the business is open, it's all empty and not decent!"
The girl agreed, as if she was a little dissatisfied. While taking the bag, she muttered, "I have asked you to bring things to put them on. I won't do it until the opening period is at the end of the business!"
Yuanxiao nodded with a smile, "Hehe, am I busy now? It's not too late!"
I looked at the Lantern Festival without any anger and looked slutty, and I immediately concluded that this kid had a good impression of this girl!
The things brought by Lanxiao were placed one by one by Sisi on Duobao Pavilion. I picked up a piece of cloisonné enamel and looked at it, and said, "I said Lanxiao, you have manufacturers of antiques!"
After hearing what I said, Sisi, who was placing a porcelain bottle next to her, seemed to agree with my statement, and snorted coldly with a smile.
I weighed the things in my hand, "I said you just use these broken things to fool the customers. Not to mention those who know what you know, I can see that this thing is not authentic!"
Lantern Festival quickly came up and snatched it, "You were broken by me. Even if it was a high-quality imitation, it would not be cheap! Keep this for those foreigners! They can't tell whether it is good or bad. When they see it is traditional Chinese crafts, they think it is very beautiful!"
I sneered, "The image of Chinese people is corrupted by you unscrupulous businesses!"
I looked around and said, "Your store has nothing decent, at least..."
Before I finished speaking, Yuanxiao immediately said, "You are right, buddy, you have it!" As he said that, Yuanxiao walked to the cabinet inside and took out the key and opened it. I immediately saw four jade bis in a neat manner inside.
I suddenly found that these four jade bis seemed familiar. Yuanxiao looked at me, "How is it, do you think it looks familiar?"
Seeing me nodding, Lantern Festival reminded me, "You still remember the time in Qilian Mountains. We found a coffin without a corpse. Isn't this the four pieces on the coffin on it?"
After the body shape of Lanxiao, I suddenly realized, "Yes, that's right! No wonder I think I've seen it somewhere!"
Yuanxiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Zhuoran, look at these four pieces of Yuli, we should have divided them equally, but now I have misappropriated them without authorization, which is really not righteous enough. So! I have thought about it all, even if you invest in the shares, we will pay dividends according to the form of shareholders at that time!"
