Protagonist, wake up

But all of this will not affect Xie Lang and Jian Zhu for the time being.

Xie Lang is 17 years old.In Jian Zhu's eyes, it seemed that the little dumpling had grown into a green bamboo just by blinking his eyes, but he hadn't changed in any way.Xie Lang often thought it was miraculous, but he just felt that all this was even more unreal.

Xie Lang's collection has flourished over the years.In the early stage, relying on the financial resources of Xie's family, he purchased antiquities from the descendants of great collectors, and obtained many rare treasures one after another.He also bought a yard by the river, and by the river, he can check the boats transporting antiques at any time.At the same time, Xie Lang took advantage of his business and found many ancient relics.

He is fond of antiquity, but he is not obsessed with antiquity. If there is a good contemporary work and the price can be negotiated, he will also buy it.In this way, Xie Lang's reputation of being generous and fond of antiques gradually spread, attracting more like-minded officials and antique dealers.The owners of antique shops and peddlers in the streets and alleys even recognized him as a regular customer, and they never forgot to inform him in advance whenever there was a new good thing, and kept a lot of rare goods for him every time.In this way, he can return home with a full load every time.

Sometimes when Xie Lang travels, he also collects ancient relics from various places. For example, some rare books are hidden in unremarkable old bookstalls.When looking through old bookstalls, Jian Zhu and Xie Lang can look at one side alone.

Jian Zhu followed Xie Lang to see all the antiquities these years. Although he was still not very good at appreciating them, he also gained a great sense of appreciation and pleasure from Xie Lang's explanation.

As Xie Lang's collection continued to increase, he later built a special antiquities pavilion, which contained his collections from the past few years, and named it "Yao Pavilion". "Yao" means beautiful and rare.At first, Xie Lang wanted to use his elder brother Lan Jue's name as a memorial, but Jian Zhu felt too ashamed, so he resolutely refused.Xie Lang couldn't help it, and the two finally used the word "Yao" in a compromise.Over the years, Yao Pavilion has gradually become famous with Xie Lang.

Yao Pavilion is located in an elegant courtyard.Xie Lang guarded it tightly, and it was only open to Xie Lang's closest relatives and friends, and Xie Lang had to lead the way if he wanted to visit.In the Yao Pavilion, there are famous calligraphy and paintings of various eras, and old rhinoceros pottery.But most of them are the ancient relics of Liangxi and Western Dynasties.And with the joint efforts of Jian Zhu and Xie Lang, these little guys were placed in order according to a predetermined timeline.

When people pass through the bluegrass in the courtyard, bypass the stone screen, and enter the Yao Pavilion where the veil floats, it is as if they have entered a space-time tunnel.These elves are the representatives of time and space, and Xie Lang, who owns these time and space, has built a space for antiquities that belongs to him. Because of this space, he can resist all the temptations of the outside world, and he no longer has to run around in the officialdom to become a figure in the eyes of the world. successful.

Friends who came to visit Yao Pavilion praised it.Some of these people are from wealthy families like Xie Lang, who can afford to spend a lot of money to buy their favorite antiques; others live in seclusion in the mountains or on small islands, living in seclusion, with simple tea and light food every day, and most of them are accompanied by birds and birds in the breeze, moon and mountain stream .

Jian Zhu knew that Xie Lang had an acquaintance, who had a big appetite and was a favorite of antique dealers.But it's the same for everyone who just entered the industry. Like Xie Lang, he once spent money to buy fake products and was taken advantage of.

Even if you have many years of collecting experience, you will still be deceived, not because of your poor vision, but because the fakes are too real.There are always a few masters in every industry, who rely on powerful painters to sell counterfeit products.In addition to their own skills, they also have a complete process system for manufacturing and selling counterfeit goods.But fakes are fakes after all, and sometimes because of the low level of education of the counterfeiters themselves, there are more flaws exposed.Therefore, if there is a pair of eagle eyes, the fake will not be shaken even if it blows the sky.

In addition to counterfeiters, there is another category of people who play a role similar to middlemen.Xie Lang did not collect antiquities for profit, but these people wandered the market with a high vision of appreciating antiquities, bought antiques when they saw them, and then resold them to those collectors to earn the difference.Xie Lang also dealt with them a lot.

"Are you a collector now?" Jian Zhu joked one day.

Xie Lang shook his head: "I'm just an apprentice who likes to collect." He put down the calligraphy and paintings in his hands, "There are many collectors in this world, but if we say everyone, there are only those people in total. As far as I know, for example, high-ranking officials in the court , those who enshrined the Marquis and worshiped the Prime Minister, and those wealthy businessmen with extremely strong financial resources."

Speaking of this, Xie Lang smiled: "You also know that the current imperial court is weak, and the power is in the hands of those few. With the prevalence of extravagance, some of them are very elegant and always want to collect some rare goods. "

"That's right, rich and powerful people don't lack these things, and they like to use them to decorate their appearance."

"Naturally, there will be people around them who are good at guessing and flattering them. These precious things are sent into the mansion like flowing water. Besides, they are really rich in financial resources, and they are not afraid to spend money on it." Xie Lang frowned, "Like the head Master Fu, he is also proficient in this way, but he does not have the appetite of that master."

"But there is no need to dispute it. In the final analysis, it is all about the word 'greedy'. I am greedy for antiquities, and he is greedy for power and fame."

Everyone in Jinbei knew that the Xie family had given birth to two good sons, both good-looking and capable, and when Xie's father mentioned these two children, there was a hint of pride between his brows.

Of course, such a good child is often snatched up by others, and the matchmakers are as enthusiastic as if their own daughter is getting married.Big Brother Xie got married early, but Xie Lang was not salty about this matter and kept procrastinating.Jian Zhu also asked Xie Lang what he was thinking, but Xie Lang looked bewildered.

"I always feel that I don't like them at all..."

ha? ? !

Jian Zhu was shocked by his words into a black question mark face.He felt that the situation was not good, Xie Lang's words were very problematic and ambiguous!

He looked at Xie Lang, his heart full of vicissitudes.

Baby, the most important thing is, you are not a gay...

It's not impossible... Jian Zhu can be sure that Xie Lang is not interested in him, but after so many years, he has not found any signs of this in him.It may be that he thinks too much, after all he is gay, so it is inevitable that he will think too much.

"you……"

"Huh?" Xie Lang looked at him with an innocent face.

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

Jian Zhu has gradually calmed down over the years.Staying in the mirror space where the passage of time cannot be felt, Jian Zhu gradually lost the impetuous part of his personality, and his speech gradually became calm, with a little slow rhythm.Xie Lang said that he was becoming more and more like an old man, and Jian Zhu nodded in agreement.He was seldom angry now, and in fact had nothing to be angry about.

He became more and more lethargic, and his desire to go out was not so strong.After all, I have already been to many places in Jinbei, and it is not interesting to see even the best scenery day after day. What's more, the customs will not change easily. The only new thing is that there are more foreigners in Jinbei these years.However, the conflict between Dongxia and foreigners became increasingly fierce, and these foreigners would not easily go to the streets unless necessary.

Jian Zhu once looked at them carefully, and felt that they looked similar to foreigners, tall and tall, with high nose bridges and deep eye sockets, and more three-dimensional facial features.Most of them are nomads, and their clothing is similar to that of arrow sleeves.Wearing pigtails, but there are also people who have lived here all the year round to follow the Romans, and they all dress like Dongxia. At first glance, it is really hard to identify.

When Xie Lang was talking about business, he also met foreign businessmen.It is the city that must pass through when entering Beijing, and it can be said that it is the shortest throat in the north to reach Kyoto.Once breached, the capital is just around the corner.

With the fierce collisions in these years, economic communication has become more frequent, and many foreign businessmen have taken the opportunity to make war fortunes.The more they understand the business, the more they want to open a path leading to Dongxia.Ethnic groups such as Wu, Jusu, etc. need the rich resources of Dongxia in order to survive better.As a transportation hub, Near North has the largest trading market and is the first choice for many businessmen. Even the policy suppression implemented in recent years to defend against the enemy has not stopped them from developing here.

But there are also advantages, especially in terms of intelligence, Jinbeiliu has the freshest news at the moment.

For example, coups took place in both the Jusu and Wu ethnic groups.

For another example, the Uzumaki and Dongxia signed a short-term peace agreement, agreeing to a truce.With a huge sacrifice, Dong Xia gained a short respite.

The author has something to say: the above refers to Mr. Zhao Baitian's "Nanhualu"

I refer to Tianlai Pavilion for the description of Yao Pavilion, but the style of Tianlai Pavilion is by no means what I can write in a few words. Interested friends can search for it by themselves
