Otherworldly Merchant

After returning from the Grand Canal, Li Mazi and I were all tired, so So-sex pushed some business into a relaxing life. I also often went shopping with Yin Xin-yue, finally making her feel the presence of her husband.

On this day, Li Mazi brought a basket of crabs and two bottles of Shaoxing yellow wine into the store. He called me to steam crabs before he even crossed the store door.

As soon as the crab is steamed, we can't wait to catch it and eat it.

Unexpectedly, the first crab was not hungry, and a human figure walked in.

“Yo, Master Liang, what brings your old man here?” Li Mazi was facing the door and greeted him with a smile on his face.

As soon as I heard the name, I hurried to wipe my mouth. I turned around and laughed. “Master Liang, what brings you here? ”

Not to blame for our attitude, this Master Liang just in his early sixties this year, his hair is half white, he looks no different than the ordinary old man, in fact, he is a great god figure in the antique circle, via his palm antique has not made a mistake, very prestigious.

Although they all mix Wuhan's antique circles, we don't usually have much contact with each other. In a store like ours that brightly uses antiques as a front, Master Liang can't really see it. I don't know why he came to the door today.

Master Liang glanced at us and had a little anxiety on his face: "Brother Zhang Jia, Liang came to the door today to nag, there is really one antique I can't understand. ”

“If Master Liang says that this is an antique that you can't understand, can't we see it better?” Li Mazi stunned.

I glanced at Li Mazi and told him not to mess up. Could he send the antiques? Could they be normal antiques?

Li Mazi quickly reacted and smiled at Grandpa Liang. “This way, please. ”

Taking Master Liang to the back room, I hurried to ask him if something strange had happened to him. This antique game, especially like Master Liang, touched as long as it was good without asking where it came from. It's not strange to encounter something strange.

“It's a bit odd...” Master Liang looked a little skeptical. I didn't rush him either. He gave Li Mazi a look. He hurriedly touched the bottle of wine and poured Mr. Liang a glass.

Master Liang took a sip before opening his mouth: “I recently took a jade fan... I didn't expect to play antiques all my life or hit him in the eye. ”

“Is this jade fan blind?” I asked at my discretion.

Blind goods are words in the circle, which means fake goods. Anyone who plays antiques doesn't want to hang the word ’fake’ on their mouth, so they change their rhetoric.

Master Liang shook his head: “That's not true, the goods are good, really, or I picked up the leak, but now it seems that the seller was anxious to get rid of it, which took advantage of me. Well, that's not a good idea! ”

Li Mazi and I looked at each other and made sure that the jade fan was strange. I smiled. “Master Liang, since you are here today, you must know what we are doing. Do you think we should open the door a little bit? ”

After all, I was impatient to go around.

Master Liang laughed too: “Brother Xiao is really impatient, I'm not going to go around, I really don't understand whether this is a shady thing in your mouth.” He glanced at me and went down without talking: "After I retrieved this jade fan, I put it in a special treasure palace, and the other day I was late studying a word painting in the treasure palace, so I fell asleep. Who knew that in the middle of the night I felt all warm, I thought it was a fever, I thought of drinking some water, and I couldn't find this... the jade fan was burned. ”

“Burned?” I was surprised that I had never been to Master Liang's treasure palace, but I also knew that his treasure palace protection measures were very strict, let alone burned, or a piece of Mars could not enter.

Master Liang explained with a bitter smile that it was not burned, it should be spontaneous, because after a while the fan was restored to its original condition. He thought he had lost consciousness for a few days and found that every day between midnight and 1: 00 p.m., the jade fan would suddenly burst into flames.

“Zhang Jia Xiao, do you think this is weird? ”

I asked Master Liang a few more questions and found that this jade fan did not have any other negative impact on him besides spontaneous combustion, even if the collections put together did not lose a star and a half. I don't think it should be a big problem, but looking at Master Liang's discretion, I still propose to take a look at this fan.

Master Liang didn't bring it. Asked why, he didn't dare to be sure that the jade fan would burst into flames suddenly, fearing that it would be unsafe to carry it on him.

“In that case, Master Liang, I will come with you.” I got up and asked Li Mazi to keep an eye on the store first. I followed Master Liang to his antique store without anything.

I am also new to Master Liang's antique shop, I don't know how much taller than our pattern, but I'm also embarrassed to see him rush into the treasure palace with him.

“That's the thing.” Master Liang carefully presented the jade box from Taobao. After opening it, a jade fan slightly shorter than an adult's small arm lay inside.

This jade fan is exquisitely crafted and the jade quality is clear. At first glance, you can't really see that it is an antiquity, which is at best a quality jade product.

As soon as Master Liang saw me like this, he laughed and explained that this jade seemed like a new one, but if he touched it, he would know the extraordinary noise, and look at the texture and the engraved words on the shank to confirm the dynasty.

I studied it carefully and nodded: “Master Liang, you've made a lot of money! In my opinion, this is not only an antiquity of the Ming Dynasty, but it may also have flown from the palace. ”

After looking at Master Liang's face as usual, I am a little embarrassed. It is also true that he has seen a lot of things and naturally knows what the value is.

I also stopped talking nonsense, took a circle in the treasure palace, deliberately looked at the plaid where the jade fan was placed, then shook my head at Grandpa Liang: “I didn't see anything strange. ”

Master Liang obviously didn't believe me. I couldn't help but pull two spiritual symbols out of his arms and let him press one under the jade box, the other on his body, to say the least, to reassure his heart.

Back at the store, Li Mazi, who had no heart, was solving the last crab, and saw me asking what was going on.

I shrugged my shoulders and said that nothing was wrong. I think it was the fan that came the wrong way. Master Liang had a ghost in his heart.

Li Mazi shouted: “I said," It's impossible, Master Liang and the antiques have been dealing with each other all their lives. How many of his treasure palaces come to Luzheng? ”

I also know it doesn't make sense, but I didn't feel a thing, and nothing big happened, so I impatiently put in a few sentences to pretend it was over.

Li Mazi also didn't tangle. He left the store with a toothpick on his mouth and waved at me. I looked at the crab shell of a table with no anger. I took the rag and cleaned it up.

At night, Li Mazi came again. All she had to do was drink and brag to me. When she drank it, they both fainted. She fell asleep directly on the table.

Boom, boom, boom!

I didn't know how long I slept, I woke up with a loud banging noise, and I frowned because my sober head didn't react at all. I didn't react until the voice rang again like it was destiny, and it was someone smashing the door.

“Who is it?” I yelled, rubbing my head and swinging to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, I didn't react and my arm was caught: "Something's wrong, brother. Something's wrong! ”

“Master Liang?” I looked at Master Liang. Why is he here?

Master Liang pulled me and ran. What else was said in his mouth? I finally figured it out. It turns out the treasure palace is on fire!
