Chapter 170, the sky is full of stars and dreams come
This question asked Zhou Dabei to ask, these three families had mountains. After several generations of people sorted it out, there were almost no strange forests. The fruit trees on their hills were fragrant, and precious wood was rare. Zhou Dabei still remembered that his grandfather's generation dug the last good wood, and he was reluctant to use it himself, so he transported it to the county for a good price. After that, his father Zhou Dazhen looked forward to the digging of precious saplings again. Until Zhou Dabei was born, he gave up on the idea of producing precious wood on his mountain.
If you don’t spend much effort, you won’t understand. Faced with the desire for knowledge between Li Yuanbao and Yao Fuxing, Zhou Dabei, who became a teacher when he came to Nanxing, said coldly: “It’s expensive!”
Li Yuanbao and Yao Fuxing looked at his mysterious appearance, and pointed their heads as if they were frightened. They didn't dare to say a word. In fact, the pocket money they took out their pockets was no less than Zeng Meiwei and Dong Jumping over the wall.
At this time, Hou San also asked Lin Peng with a slanted face: "What is ebony?"
"Price!" Lin Peng was also concise and said, "Ask me, who will I ask?" Hou Sanyile, when the cleverness that had been idle for more than ten years, no one who could spend two thousand silver to come to this chamber of commerce was mortal. Don't say it anymore, otherwise the brothers will show their fear here.
Tu Jushan swayed his pair of iron balls and greeted everyone. After that, more than a dozen people came in one after another. Changdang looked at them one by one and then quickly moved his eyes away. He didn't know which one was the one he was going to meet tonight. He was tired of His Royal Highness King Lu's endless use of him. Changdang's face became more and more gray. Zeng Meiwei saw it and recommended a medicinal meal to him. He didn't want to make money from him, but he could make it at home: "Let your chef stew a bowl every day, and it would be medicine after taking it for a long time."
The last person walked in, and the old men who sat here without saying hello to anyone else also stood up attentively and greeted him: "Button Wen has arrived."
Li Yuanbao and Yao Fuxing opened his eyes wide and confused, and Zhou Dabei was filled with doubts. He was so sorry that the fan in his hand happened to be used in winter, and he secretly poked it: "This is the butler of His Highness King Jin."
"Oh, greeting." Li Yuanbao and Yao Fuxing faced their butts to the sky and heads to the ground. The bow was so deep that they didn't dare to look at him until Liang Wen sat down. These two had suffered losses outside. Some people would better stay away. Maybe they were all guilty when they were angry.
Next, until the Chamber of Commerce started, the two of them closed their mouths and asked nothing, and kept everything in their hearts if they didn't understand, so as not to accidentally bump into the person of the King of Jin's mansion. Zhou Dabei was very satisfied. He could smell the faint fragrance in his position, either the ebony fragrance or the fragrance. This is the best oil powder.
After Liang Wen sat down, his dress whispered softly for a quarter of an hour. Fortunately, Li Yuanbao and Yao Fuxing were shocked. Otherwise, if they looked around and asked where the source was, Zhou Dabei would not be able to answer in public that there was a woman in the dark room, and she was also a wife of an official, otherwise who would have come to such a chamber of commerce to hang out.
"Bodhis statues of red gold and other bodies."
"Kai'er's official kiln pillow."
"Eight pieces of crab."
Zeng Meiwei and Dong jumped over the wall. They started to compete with each other since the first antique. In fact, they didn't believe in Buddhism, especially Dong jumped over the wall. If he believed in Buddhism, he would not open Buddha jumped over the wall. However, as long as the other party only took a look, the other person gritted his teeth and shouted. The two thin old men were the owners of local antique dealers, and they almost cursed with a purple face.
This time, the crab Bazi is their appetite, and others don’t speak out when they hear it, waiting to watch their excitement.
The sample was taken out, and the crab-eating tools were placed in the red wooden box, and the white luster flashed, which was made of silver.
Li Yuanbao was ready to move and pushed Yao Fuxing: "It looks less than a pound of silver, can you and I get a set to show off when I go home?"
Yao Fuxing has been sticking out his tongue since the price was quoted. He said cautiously: "Look, let's talk about it."
Hou San was also moved: "Cousin, your brother and sister look down on me even after getting married for so long. They always say that I am a gangster and the money is not too expensive. We will go home and play with each other."
"Shut up, you can first estimate how much the wooden box costs, and then ask the value of this antique." Lin Peng had a calm face.
"Oh, antique?" Hou San sobered up.
Zhou Dabei and his father met their heads: "This is money, I'm not mistaken?"
"No, you can see where the valuable place is when you see the price of the transaction."
"How much can silver be worth?"
“Wait for them to quote.”
After passing the samples, they were taken into it. Zeng Meiwei and Dong jumped over the wall and were so anxious that Li Yuanbao wanted to kick him and offer him a price. Zhou Dazhen was told by his son that there were female relatives sitting inside, so he was not in a hurry.
Sure enough, more than a quarter of an hour passed, and Lin Zhongdui smiled: "Twelve sets, craftsmen have just quoted them, starting at 300 taels per set."
"Swish swish swish swish..." A row of tongues stretched out, Li Yuanbao, Yao Fuxing, Zhou Dazhen, Hou San, and a young man sitting in the corner.
Zhou Dabei was satisfied. He didn't want to watch his father's embarrassment. Li Yuanbao and Yao Fuxing no longer bullyed them. After passing this village, he was amused: "I said, are you scales? Scales are here."
Li Yuanbao and Yao Fuxing wanted to reply a few words, and the answer might lead to good allusions. The more allusions you can brag about when you go home, the better. Zeng Meiwei spoke calmly at this time, and he raised one hand.
"Five hundred taels, Boss Zeng."
Li Yuanbao and Yao Fuxing shut up.
Hou San was really wondering: "The older I get, the more valuable it is. I am one year older from last year to this year. Why am I not valuable?"
Lin Pengle said: "Because you are not old."
There are not many people in this kind of chamber of commerce, and everyone rarely speaks in private. Only a local antique dealer closest to them heard Hou San's words. He slowly said: "San Master, it's worth making up for what is lacking."
"Please teach me how to make up for it?" Hou San bent down.
"You, you can make a coffin in the coffin shop. There is no need to pay attention to the material. As long as the one buried in the mud for three hundred years, it will be done. Then you can eat more dragon tendons and tiger bones. There is no need to pay attention to whether it is expensive or not. As long as you bury in the mud for three hundred years, and dig out your coffin for three hundred years, it will be very valuable."
Lin Peng tried his best to hold back his laughter, and Hou Sanhao reacted for a while: "Why are you scolding? If you don't have a bad zombie, you won't be reincarnated."
"Just laugh, joking," the antique dealer bowed.
Lin Peng patted Hou San's shoulder: "So there is a reason for being expensive. Brother, you should be a cheap person."
"Why are you cursing?" Hou Sangu pouted.
As they spoke, the price had already been called to use 800 taels per set. Zeng Meiwei and Dong jumped over the wall and refused to give in. The third person also inserted it. From time to time, a family member came in to offer a price. When Lin Peng and others turned their attention here, the family had just spoken to Lin Zhong, and Lin Zhong smiled and declared: "Nine hundred taels."
"One thousand two!" Dong jumped over the wall and added decisively.
Zeng Meiwei looked at him and shook her head. He gave up. He wanted these twelve sets of crabs.
Hou San leaned over to the antique businessman who scolded him: "Tell me, you can write it off." The antique businessman approached his ears: "I didn't see it either."
"Ah?" Hou San's eyes widened.
"It's not surprising. We often walk by the river and wet our shoes. We only get rid of geese by the eyes. Our understanding of the ancients is only about books and word-of-mouthed generations. It's normal to have something you don't know. Wait. Since Boss Dong wants this thing, he will solve the mystery for us."
Hou San sat back and said to Lin Peng: "If this thing is worth 500 taels, it's real, I... call it the ancestor."
"Don't, some of your ancestors are mine, and you will humiliate your own ancestors." Cousin Lin Peng refused to agree.
The family came out again, and he was in the green hat and flashed. Everyone was scrambling to see him. Lin Zhong took his words and smiled and said, "One thousand six hundred taels."
Dong Jumped over the wall and took a deep breath: "Mrs. Fourth Grandma, it's no good for us to fight like this. It's better to be half of your family." He looked at a peony rich screen.
After a moment of pause, an old voice was hard: "Bah! The surname of Dong, Qu Guang is your place. Your Dong family shouldn't have come to the royal city. Xiao Zeng can tolerate you, but I can't tolerate you in Zhu's inn!"
Zeng Meiwei stood up when she heard this voice, bowed and stood aside.
After saying that, Grandma Zhu Si called him: "Xiao Zengzi."
"Grandma Four, you are talking." Zeng Meiwei said respectfully.
"If the surname Dong doesn't make a good idea, is Quguangcheng still less business? If he wants to stay in the royal city, he will be based in the royal city? If the surname Dong is not authentic, the abbot in front of Yuanfo Temple was angry. Master Hongguang, who has been worshipped for many years, left together. Does he have me in his eyes? Who doesn't know that Master Hongguang is a substitute for the Fourth Master on his behalf? Xiao Zengzi, if you are so polite to him, you will not have the fourth grandma in your eyes. Forget about how many generations of friendship you and my family have been dating!"
"Yes, Grandma 4, I will listen to you." Zeng Meiwei has a simple personality, respects old friends but never makes mistakes.
Dong jumped over the wall and stood calmly. I don’t know what he was thinking. Grandma Zhu Si sneered again and looked for him: “The person surnamed Dong, killing too much is not good for retribution, and it’s even more impossible to have no one in his eyes. I have been watching coldly since you came to the royal city. You are so excited. Either you get back! Or I will chase you back until you get back!”
Grandma Zhu's temper was out of control and became angry and became fierce: "No matter how much money you pay, I will cost you two hundred dollars. This thing belongs to me! Break it for me and smash it into pieces to see what he bought for a high price!"
Her voice became higher and higher. In terms of tone, she was afraid that she would become more and more unobstructed. When she arrived here, she suddenly stopped and her voice dropped a few levels, forcibly twisted to softness, which led to the awkward and dry voice: "Madam Bo, do you think this thing belongs to me, right?"
Li Yuanbao and Yao Fuxing sat upright and looked at Zhou Dabei together. Why did Mrs. Bo mean? Zhou Dabei rolled their eyes and looked at me that way. You two are still big fools.
I don’t know what I said inside, but the errand-run family came out to discuss with Dong Juanwu again. Dong Juanwu’s face turned red and white, and sighed: “Okay, Grandma Fourth, you are a well-known business among the merchants in the royal city. I wish that after the Fourth Master passed away, the inn business that you were cooking alone would be prosperous. I don’t want this thing anymore. I will tell you why it is expensive.”
It seemed like there was a soft voice, as if everyone was pricking up their ears at this moment, Zeng Meiwei pursed her lips and looked at her eyes.
According to what Dong Juan said, Lin Zhong brought back a set of eight silver crab samples and gave them white silk gloves. Dong Juan picked up one and looked at it again and again: "The craftsmanship is really good, but the things hidden in it are better."
He unscrewed this piece and found that it was hollow inside, pouring out dozens of brilliant little gems.
"The craftsman who worked in the past was a thief. He was invited to make these eight crabs for a high-ranking official. He hid other people's jewelry here and prepared to take them away after the news. Later, he fell ill and told the secret to the inn guy who served him at the death. It was my Gaozu who opened the inn first. It was my Gaozu who was familiar with the inn business and then opened a restaurant to find this set of food utensils."
Taking off his gloves, Dong jumped over the wall and bowed: "I wish you a lot of money to send me a good fortune in this royal city. Is it good to give me a foothold in Xiao Dong?"
There was no sound behind the screen for a long time. When Grandma IV spoke again, at least the onlookers were extremely impatient.
"Madam Bo pleads with you, please stay."
"Yes, thank you Mrs. Bo, thank you, Grandma Four." Dong jumped over the wall and sat back, not to mention his frustration, Zeng Delicious was not much better. He silently said since he heard the origin of the antiques. He often thought that it was closest to him, and heard him murmur repeatedly: "Can I even think of weighing the weight..."
Silver and gems have different weights.
There was a long time when no one spoke, and everyone was dazzled and dumb. The eight crabs were originally small things. The silver shell had to be extra thin to hold a small gem, and the gem was also small enough to fit in.
Li Yuanbao and Yao Fuxing were close to madness, and did not shout. The madness was all in their eyes. They forced Zhou Dabei to think about it: "Let's raise money to buy one, take it back to the county town and shout a high price?"
Otherwise, it would be: "From today, I will eat three meals a day at Buddha Jumping over the wall, and this boss has the food in his stomach."
Zhou Dabei held his breath: "Shut up! I didn't see the strong dragon not suppressing the local snake. Grandma Four and the Delicious Building are the places we should go often."
The antique businessman closest to Hou San attracted the attention of the audience: "This is the set of heads and faces called "The Sky of Stars Come to Dreams, is it the gems removed from it?"
Li Yuanbao and Yao Fuxing were busy again: "What does it mean to dream of stars in the sky? This name sounds nice, what is this ancient record? You teach us that tonight, Buddha jumps over the wall to treat you. No, Buddha jumps over the wall and Delicious Building each invite a table."
The antique businessman smiled: "This is a famous jewelry set of the previous dynasty. This batch of gems came out of the same mineral vein and was collected bit by bit without making big gems. However, the quality was good. The craftsmen were determined and made into heads and faces. It is said that they were worn at night, as if they were wearing countless stars."
"Where are jewelry? Where are the jewelry? Let's open our eyes." Li Yuanbao and Yao Fuxing shouted randomly.
Lin Peng chuckled, and the antique businessman shook his head and regretted: "This jewelry has never appeared in a hundred years. I have just entered the antique industry. The master even mentioned this jewelry to me, sighing that he had never seen it."
Lin Zhong waited quietly for them to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "People, the next one, the stars in the sky are in my dreams, and there is a pair of earrings and a pair of flower ornaments."
Lin Peng made two silent roars. The Wen family’s collection was really rich. The name of this set of jewelry was copied by him on the antique list given to Mrs. Bo.
