Chapter 1776 Spontaneous burning jade fan

After returning from the Grand Canal, Li Mazi and I felt tired all over, so we simply pushed some businesses and lived a leisurely life. I often accompanied Yin Xinyue to go out shopping, and finally made her feel the existence of her husband.

On that day, Li Mazi brought a basket of hairy crabs and two bottles of Shaoxing rice wine to the store. Before he could enter the store, he shouted that he asked me to steam crabs.

Once the crabs were steamed, we couldn't wait to catch them and eat them.

Unexpectedly, before the first crab was eaten, a figure walked in.

"Oh, Mr. Liang, what wind has blown you?" Li Mazi faced the door and greeted the person with a flattering smile when he saw him.

When I heard this name, I quickly wiped my mouth, turned my head and said with a smile: "Master Liang, what's wrong with you?"

It’s not our fault for our attitude. Mr. Liang is just in his early sixties this year, and his hair is half white. He looks no different from an ordinary old man. In fact, he is a great figure in the antique circle. No antiques he has seen through his palms and has a very high reputation.

Although we are all involved in the antique circle in Wuhan, we usually have no contact with each other. Mr. Liang really doesn't like the shops like us that use antiques as a guise on the surface. I don't know why he came to the door on his own initiative today.

Mr. Liang glanced at us with a little worried look on his face: "Brother Zhang, Liang came to the door to disturb him today. There is really an antique that I can't understand."

"Mr. Liang said this. If you can't even understand the antique, won't we understand even more?" Li Mazi said blankly.

I glared at Li Mazi and told him not to cause trouble. Can the antiques sent by Master Liang be normal?

Li Mazi quickly reacted and said to Mr. Liang with a smile: "Please please."

When I took Mr. Liang to the back room, I hurriedly asked him if he had encountered something strange. This antique is played with, especially like Mr. Liang, who can touch it without asking the source of the good things. It is not surprising that he encounters something strange.

"It's indeed a bit strange..." Master Liang looked a little hesitant, and I didn't urge him, so I winked at Li Mazi. He quickly touched the pot of wine and poured a glass for Master Liang.

Mr. Liang took a sip and then opened his mouth: "I recently put away a jade fan... I didn't expect that the antiques I've been playing with for the rest of my life would still be slapped at them."

"Is this jade fan a blind guy?" I asked carefully.

Blind goods are jargon in the circle, which means fake goods. No one who plays with antiques wants to put the word "fake" on his lips, so he changed his words.

Mr. Liang shook his head: "No, this is a good product. If you really want to talk about it, I will find a flaw. But now it seems that the seller was eager to take off his hands, so I took advantage of it. Tsk, this is really hard to take advantage of it!"

Li Mazi and I looked at each other, and became more sure that the jade fan was strange. I smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, since you are here today, you must know what we are doing. Do you think you should be straight to the point?"

After all, I really have no patience when I am wandering around.

Mr. Liang also smiled: "Young man is really impatient. I don't want to go around. I really can't figure out whether this is the dark thing in your mouth." He said, and saw that I didn't say anything, he continued to say: "After taking back this jade fan, I put it in a special treasure pavilion. A few days ago, I stayed late in the treasure pavilion because I was studying a calligraphy and painting, so I just fell asleep. Who knew that in the middle of the night, I felt a fever all over. I thought I had a fever, and I thought I could get up and drink some water. Then I realized that it was amazing... the jade fan was burned."

"Being burned?" I was shocked. Although I had never been to Mr. Liang's treasure pavilion, I also knew that the protection measures for this treasure pavilion were very strict. Not to mention being burned, even a single spark could not be entered.

Mr. Liang smiled bitterly and explained that it was not burned, it should have been spontaneously burned, because after a while the fan returned to its original state. He thought his eyes were dizzy and he kept guarding for a few days, but found that from twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the jade fan would suddenly get angry.

"Brother Zhang, do you think this is strange?"

I asked Mr. Liang a few more questions and found that this jade fan did not cause any other negative effects to him except for spontaneous combustion. Even the collections placed together did not suffer any loss. I felt that it should not be a big problem, but seeing Mr. Liang's cautious look, I still proposed to take a look at this fan.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Liang didn't carry it. When he asked the reason, he didn't dare to be sure whether the jade fan would suddenly become angry, for fear that it would be unsafe to carry it on his body.

"Since that's the case, Mr. Liang, I'll go with you." I stood up and asked Li Mazi to look at the store first, and followed Mr. Liang to his antique store without bringing anything.

It was the first time I came to Mr. Liang’s antique shop. It was much higher than ours. However, seeing him in a hurry, I felt embarrassed to appreciate it carefully, so I went straight into the treasure pavilion with him.

"That's what." Mr. Liang carefully took out a jade box from the Duobao grid. After opening it, a jade fan that was slightly shorter than an adult's forearm was lying inside.

This jade fan is exquisitely crafted and transparent in jade. At first glance, it is really impossible to tell that it is an antique, at most it is a high-quality jade product.

When Mr. Liang saw me like this, he smiled and explained that the jade looked new at first glance, but he could tell that it was extraordinary as soon as he started to touch it. Then he could determine the dynasty by looking at the texture and the words engraved on the fan handle.

I studied it carefully and nodded, "Mr. Liang, you have made a lot of money! From my perspective, this is not only an antique from the Ming Dynasty, but also a possible flow from the palace."

After saying that, I felt a little embarrassed when Mr. Liang looked as normal. He had seen a lot of things, so he naturally knew where the value was.

I stopped talking nonsense, and walked around the treasure pavilion, looked at the lattice where the jade fan was placed, and then shook my head at Master Liang: "I didn't see anything strange."

Master Liang obviously didn't believe it, and I had no choice but to take out two spiritual talismans from my arms and give them to him, asking him to press one under the jade box and put the other one on his body. After all, I could calm down his heart.

When I returned to the store, the heartless Li Mazi was solving the last hairy crab. When I saw me, I hurriedly asked what the situation was.

I shrugged and said nothing was wrong. I guess the fan came from incorrectly and Mr. Liang had a terrible heart.

Li Mazi shouted: "I said, brother, this is impossible. Mr. Liang has been dealing with antiques all his life. How many of his treasure pavilions are from the right place?"

I also knew that this could not be explained, but I did not feel any yin energy at all, and nothing big happened, so I impatiently said a few perfunctory words and thought it was over.

Li Mazi was not confused either. He waved his hand at me and left the shop. I looked at the crab shells on the table with anger, and took the rag to clean up.

Li Mazi came again in the evening, but she just asked me to drink and brag. After drinking, both of them were dizzy and fell asleep directly on the table.

Bang bang bang bang!

After sleeping for a while, I was awakened by a violent knock. I frowned, because my dizzy head was suddenly unable to react to what it was. It was not until the sound was urging for a while that I realized that someone was smashing the door.

"Who?" I shouted, rubbed my head and swayed to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, I was caught before I could react: "Something happened, boy, something happened!"

"Master Liang?" I looked at Master Liang. Why did he come just dawn?
