Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

But while doing all this, Lin Ran rationally avoided the crowd.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.

After all, Liulichang is such a big place, and the guests become familiar with each other as soon as they come and go.

Yesterday I was too eye-catching, and because I was too young, I was easily recognized by others at a glance.

For people who are involved in the antique circle, going out is not a good thing!

If you are too pushy, you will not be able to buy anything outside in the future. As long as you show a little interest, the other party will definitely open his mouth.

You can't just play hard to get every time, like today, you can use the pretense of buying sword coins to hide your eyes from others, right?

He knew very well that after he bought the knife coins, other customers would also compete to buy the knife coins.

I was indirectly endorsing the platform of the unknown vendor, which is why the other party offered such a low price.

When other customers find out that they have been deceived, they will naturally blame themselves. Over time, their reputation will naturally be ruined.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh.

Today is really a mixed blessing. On the one hand, I have collected a priceless treasure that spans the ages at almost zero cost!

On the other hand, there are some concerns about the obstacles and negative effects of being "famous".

With a wry smile, he carefully hid the treasure in his hand, then got on the rickshaw and rushed home.

The bumps and shakes along the way made Lin Ran think a lot.

Although he still hadn't found a solution to the problem today, Lin Ran was overjoyed to have the bronze beast in his hand.

In his previous life, Lin Ran was also invited to conduct archaeological work at the Sanxingdui ruins.

The first time the Sanxingdui ruins appeared in front of people was in 1986.

The Sanxingdui civilization is very mysterious and different from the ordinary Central Plains civilization. It is even considered by many netizens to be an alien civilization.

It is a pity that this civilization was not passed down. Due to various reasons, it suddenly disappeared in the long river of history and declined instantly.

But isn’t the breadth, depth and diversity of our Chinese culture the result of repeated blends and collisions?

The excavation of the Sanxingdui ruins has, to a certain extent, filled the gap in sacrifice and religious culture in the ancient Shu civilization.

This is of great significance to the entire historical research!

But this thing has not been officially unearthed yet. If it is sold in a pawn shop, it will definitely be regarded as a liar just like the small vendor just now.

So Lin Ran decided to keep the bronze beast and the calligraphy and painting together as his trump card!

One day when the time is right, it will not be too late to make a decision.

……

When he arrived at home, Lin Ran, who had been busy for a long day, lay down on the couch with satisfaction, enjoying the rare family time.

After Lin Wanjun finished washing her clothes, she returned to the room and saw Lin Ran playing with a strange thing again. She couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get this weird thing again?"

Because the shape of the bronze mythical beast was so special, Lin Wanjun's eyes were also attracted to it.

"Sister, what do you think this looks like?"

Lin Wanjun thought for a while and replied: "Like a child's toy."

"There are so many toys for children nowadays. This one looks like a robot, but it also looks a bit like a toy dog."

This is the first impression most people have when they see the bronze mythical beast.

"Is this thing valuable?" Lin Wanjun has been with her brother for so long, and has become accustomed to his ability to turn decay into magic.

I don’t know how much I plan to sell the strange objects in my hands for.

Lin Ran smiled mysteriously: "I won't sell this thing for any price!"

"It sounds like it's worth a lot of money."

"Of course, this is a priceless treasure!"

"Haha, Xiaoran, is it because you never played with toys when you were a child, so you feel very familiar when you see this object?" Lin Wanjun said with a smile.

When they were young, their family was poor, so it was good to have a wheel for them to roll on.

It's not like today's city children, with all kinds of toy cars and dolls.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanjun felt a little distressed and touched his head comfortingly.

"Sister, what are you doing? This is really not a toy." Lin Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This thing does look like a child's toy, but he is so old, how could he hold the toy and be reluctant to put it down.

"I know, our Xiaoran has grown up~"

"Huh, so are you, sister."

I originally wanted to say that my sister has reached the age of marriage, but now this joke is definitely not suitable to say.

"Okay, mom told us to go to dinner and made your favorite tofu."

"Really? Then I'll have to eat a few more bowls!"

"You've almost finished all the rice at home."

"It's okay. I've grown up and can make money."

The two of them were joking with each other and came to the living room. Mother Lin had already prepared a table of hot dishes.

It's like I'm back in my childhood, carefree.

It's a pity that my father has not been discharged from the hospital yet.

After dinner, Lin Ran sat alone in the courtyard, cleaning the dust off the bronze beast under the bright moonlight.

At the entrance of the yard, Widow Wang happened to pass by and was startled at first.

After calming down, he saw clearly that it was Lin Ran who was cleaning the mythical beast. He patted his chest and pretended to be frightened: "How old are you? You still play with such horrible toys."

"Why don't you go prepare a dowry for your sister?"

For such a shrew, Lin Ran just wanted to reply with a blank stare, and the more he talked to her, the more enthusiastic he became.

It's totally a matter of which pot is not being opened. Fortunately, my sister and mother are in the room, otherwise I would be angry to death if I heard it.

Lin Ran was almost done cleaning it, so he took the beast back to the room and closed the door heavily.

Widow Wang was left standing at the door and said viciously: "You really don't understand etiquette. This is true from children to adults."

Widow Wang's venomous tongue was also famous in the village. Except for the people who often chatted with her, younger people avoided her.

After watching Lin Ran leave, she continued to shout at the door: "You are about to get married, why don't you get ready, and you still have time to play with toys."

Hearing the barking of dogs outside, if it wasn't for the sake of the village, Lin Ran would have gone out to treat her to a meal.

Shrugging, Lin Ran couldn't help but think of his current situation.

I just looked at Liulichang's stall today and was recognized by people. I guess it won't be easy to continue picking up leaks at Panjiayuan in the future.

Moreover, during this period of time, I went to Liulichang every day and looked through most of the vendors' items. If I wanted to find treasures, the probability was not satisfactory.

So Lin Ran decided to change places and "hide" himself for a while!

There were less than thirteen days left before Zhang Mazi's deadline. Thinking of that scumbag's ugly face, Lin Ran became extremely angry.

I'm still not strong enough!

Otherwise, this kind of rubbish is worthy of making irresponsible remarks to me?

Now that Liulichang is temporarily unavailable, fortunately, there is another place in the capital where you can try your luck.

When people in the antique circle come to the capital, they would be embarrassed to say that they are industry insiders if they don't go to Panjiayuan, the largest antique market in China.

Panjiayuan covers an area of ​​5 square meters and has more than 3000 stalls. During the Republic of China, it was originally a tile kiln factory.

Because the owner's surname was Pan, it was called Panjiayao.

In the 60s, the urban area was renovated and the puddles were filled in. In a short time, a residential area was built here.

People who live here usually call their community Panjiayao.

However, Yaozi usually has a bad connotation in Chinese culture. Saying that you live in Panjiayao is a shameful thing in front of others.

So everyone collectively changed the name to Panjiayuan.

Later, a bridge was built nearby, and it became a flea market due to its convenient transportation.

In just a few years, it has developed into a cultural toy trading center across the country. The prices here are affordable and it is the best choice for cultural toy trading enthusiasts.

Compared with the professionalism of Liulichang, Panjiayuan has more tourists traveling from north to south, and is more suitable for picking up leaks.

Lin Ran made an immediate decision and decided to go to Panjiayuan tomorrow to check out the situation!

It's just that this time, I can't stand out like before.

Making a fortune silently is our traditional Chinese virtue!
