Antique Dealer

Chapter 84
Fang Hao agreed to the old lady's invitation, so a group of people went downstairs, planning to transfer money to Uncle Niu first, and then go to the old lady's house, so as not to waste Uncle Niu's time.

It's just that as soon as the group walked downstairs, Uncle Niu's wife called them upstairs, saying that Uncle Niu had taken the wrong bank card.

Uncle Niu took out his bank card and found that he had taken it wrong. He was a little embarrassed: "I'm blind, I'll go get the bank card, you go to Huizhen's downstairs and wait, I'll be here in a while."

"Master, please slow down, the bank will close in a while." Fang Hao reminded that the old man is old after all, don't rush and fall, it will be troublesome.

"Okay, got it."

Fang Hao and the others followed the aunt to the apartment building where she lived. Before they reached the door, they saw a young man in his 30s limping and trotting over. Fang Hao was worried that he would not go to the house with such an eager look. Just be careful and fall.

The young man was still some distance away from them, so he shouted angrily: "What do you want to do!"

Everyone felt very baffled, he hadn't done anything, why did this person look like this?
The old lady reprimanded: "Tiger, what are you doing!"

Seeing his mother's posture, the young man knew that he had misunderstood, and his expression was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I thought she was here to trouble me!"

The old lady looked angry: "Are you causing trouble again?"

The young man quickly changed the subject: "Mom, I'll tell you about this later, who are these?"

The old lady snorted angrily and introduced her son without asking.

When the young man learned that Fang Hao and the others were here to collect antiques, he scratched his head and said with a naive smile, "Bosses, I'm really sorry, didn't I scare you just now?"

Liu Tai said: "I'm not scared, but you are too reckless. How can we threaten an old lady in broad daylight?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I was reckless!" The young man apologized again and again.

At this time, Uncle Niu came over again and saw the young man: "Huzi, are you back so early today?"

The young man greeted Uncle Niu: "I have something to do over there today, so I'll be back early."

"Oh."

Uncle Niu nodded, and then took Fang Hao and the others to the bank, while the mother and son waited for them to come back.

Watching the crowd go away, the young man said: "Mom, some of our old books are already worn out, can they still be worth money?"

The old lady said: "It's not up to us whether it's worth it or not. Those old books were left by your grandfather's generation. Your father told you before his death that if the family is not doing well, you can try to sell these old books. , maybe it can be worth a few dollars."

Hearing this, the young man felt very uncomfortable: "Mom, we haven't reached the point where we can't go on, why don't we sell it?"

The old lady said angrily: "You don't even look at how old you are. You don't even have a wife. How can you explain to your father when I leave in the future? If you can promise me that you will get married this year and next year, I will reject them." !"

The young man became more and more sad: "I am useless, let you suffer with me!"

The old lady waved her hand: "Don't talk about two different families. You are my son. If I don't worry about you, who will I worry about? If you say that again, I will be angry!"

The young man was silent for a moment: "Then are these people reliable? If they deliberately lower the price, wouldn't we suffer a big loss?"

The old lady said: "I don't think that young man is a profiteer, and I also ask you, Mr. Niu, he knows a little bit. If it is really worth money, we should not suffer much."

The young man said silently in his heart: "I hope so!"

On the other hand, Fang Hao and the others arrived at the bank. Although there were still many people, Fang Hao enjoyed VIP treatment as soon as Fang Hao took out his black card. The transfer was completed quickly, and the account manager personally delivered it to the door, very enthusiastic.

Leaving the bank, Fang Hao told Uncle Niu to go back first, they still have some minor matters to deal with, so it won't take much time.

"What's the matter?" Fang Hao asked Qian Hao.

"I know Aunt Li's son." Qian Hao briefly talked about Ma Xiaohu.

Ma Xiaohu also got along when he was young. He is a meaningful person, and he is fair in dealing with things. He is very popular in the circle, and everyone trusts him.

It's just bad because he was too generous. In order to help his friend, he suffered a shattered fracture of one leg and became lame. Spent five years in prison.

After he was released from prison, Ma Xiaohu repented and decided to be an ordinary person. However, due to his past experience and poor legs, no unit wanted him, so he could only set up a small business.

Qian Hao continued: "Speaking of which, I also admire Ma Xiaohu. No matter how much his former friends persuaded him, he never turned back. Otherwise, he must still be a character now."

Liu Tai said: "I think he is a smart person like this now. He always has to pay back when he comes out to hang out. If these people don't stop early, most of them will end up with nothing good!"

"That's true." Qian Hao nodded, and continued: "By the way, Ma Xiaohu is a dutiful son. The reason why he messed around with the society is because someone bullied his mother back then, and he came to fight and injured her. , and finally went to school and expelled him."

When Fang Hao heard this, it was not difficult to understand that Ma Xiaohu was so nervous when he saw them just now.

The group of three returned to the community, and then went upstairs with Ma Xiaohu, mother and son, and Uncle Niu.

Unlike Uncle Niu's house, which has been renovated in the past two years, Ma Xiaohu's house looks very old, but the house is still quite tidy and looks very refreshing.

Ma Xiaohu invited everyone to sit down, and immediately made tea for everyone, while his mother went to take out the ancient books.

After a while, the old lady came out with a cardboard box: "The old books in my family are all handed down from the older generation. If my father-in-law hadn't hidden them, they would have been destroyed long ago. Please take a look." , how much is it worth. Oh, by the way, the name of one of them is also called Analects, isn’t it the same?”

As she spoke, she picked out an ancient book from the cardboard box. The reason why she called Fang Hao and the others to stop just now was because of this "Complete Collection of Analects of Confucius".

When Fang Hao saw the "The Analects of Analects" brought out by the old lady, he was slightly taken aback. He put on his gloves and took a look. He was even more surprised that it was actually a manuscript from the Inner Palace!
There are a large number of fine manuscripts of the inner government and manuscripts submitted by ministers in the palaces of the Ming Dynasty.This kind of books has excellent paper and ink, correct and eye-catching fonts, and beautiful decoration, showing the characteristics of Yulan books.

The Analects of Confucius was edited and compiled by Hu Guang and others in the early Ming Dynasty. From Hu's official to Wenyuange University scholar, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty received posthumous titles from then on.This book has a total of twenty volumes, and this book is volumes three to five, a total of three volumes.

This manuscript has ten lines on half a page, 22 characters per line; small print double lines, 21 characters to 22 characters per line.Zhu picture frame column, line grid, big red mouth, double fish tail, two sides around.The whole book is made of cotton paper, thick and shiny, and written in ink and regular script.The size of the frame is the same as that of "Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty", and there are 94 leaves in three volumes.

The Ming Neifu banknotes of "The Analects of Confucius Collection" are relatively rare in the world, and are mostly stored in public institutions, and the private circulation is rare. In previous years, it only appeared once at the auction. Fang Hao did not expect to see one here. Ben, much to his surprise.
