Jianbao Lingyan

Xu Wei nodded, "Sit down for a while, I'll go upstairs and take it down."

Taking advantage of the time when Xu You went upstairs, Lu Yanran hugged Lu Mingze's arm, and shook Lu Mingze's arm coquettishly.

"Grandpa, why did you spend so much money to buy that wooden sign? What's so good about it? If you like it, Grandpa, why don't you give me the money, and I'll discuss the price with him. The saved part is my labor fee La."

Lu Mingze pampered Lu Yanran's forehead, "You, I told you to learn more from our ancestors, but you just didn't listen, and insisted on learning oil painting and modern sculpture, it's shameful this time Bar."

Lu Yanran was not convinced, "Grandpa, are you saying that it is a treasure? Then you don't have to treat that apprentice so nicely. Grandpa, you didn't look at the way he looked at me, you are really rude."

"I think you misunderstood him. When I was at the door at the beginning, I also thought he was looking straight at you. But listening to the jade on your neck he just said and comparing it with his safe blessing card, I want to come here It's jade that I'm looking at, not you."

"What, isn't it me? Am I not beautiful? That's even more excessive. He doesn't look at such a delicate beauty like me. He just looks at a broken stone. Hmph, grandpa, I'm angry." Lu Yanran heard her grandpa say so. That being said, I feel that there may have been a misunderstanding just now.However, Lu Yanran felt that this misunderstanding made people feel even more angry.

There is a beautiful woman with good looks, temperament and talent who doesn't look at stones, but looks at stones. This man must have something wrong with his eyes.

"Okay, okay, little girl, are you losing face? Grandpa will accompany you to the art exhibition next month, okay? It's the art exhibition of your favorite painter named Huangshi."

As soon as she heard that she could go to the idol's art exhibition, Lu Yanran became happy, "Grandpa, let me tell you, the current international trend, the collection value of oil paintings continues to rise, no worse than your broken bottles and jars, you can definitely collect some .”

"I don't understand that thing. If you like it, grandpa supports you. If you like it, tell grandpa that grandpa will buy it for you."

"I know grandpa is the best."

Among the few copper coins bought years ago, Xu You took the one with the best appearance and the biggest halo downstairs, and saw the grandpa and grandson talking and laughing, completely forgetting that there was someone else in the room.

Xu You cleared his throat softly, signaling his presence.

When Xu Er put the copper coin on the table, Lu Mingze put away his smile, put on gloves, held a magnifying glass, and looked at the copper coin with a serious expression.

Lu Mingze watched it for a while, with joy in his eyes, "Is this Qingxuantong Tongbao? This is really rare."

"Grandpa, what's so rare about this, isn't copper coin the currency of ancient times?" Lu Yanran asked without knowing it.

"Why don't you ask this little friend, this is the little friend's collection, I think you must know something about it." Lu Mingze didn't answer directly, but threw the question to Xu Wei.

Lu Mingze lost a lot of face on the matter of the blessing card just now, although he didn't say anything on the face, he was somewhat angry in his heart, so he wanted to get it back.

If Xu You can speak up, it means that the other party is a bit inferior, and Lu Mingze is just a collector, and he admires knowledgeable people the most.If Xu You has the ability, of course, forget about it. If he can't answer it, Lu Mingze can still save some face.

"This is the Qing'Xuantong Tongbao' carrying the 'Baoquan' Xiaoping carved mother's money." "The so-called Xuantong Tongbao was changed to Yuan Xuantong after Puyi, the son of Prince Chun, succeeded to the throne. However, due to the war, almost all provinces in the country stopped casting it at that time. Money, only Baoquan Bureau has cast a kind of "Xuantong Tongbao" Xiaoping money that weighs one coin. There are not many, and it is divided into two types. I have issued machine-made coins." Since Xu Wei came to Shanghai, in addition to going to school at night, he also used the money he saved to buy a lot of history books and collection-related books in bookstores after school.Although these books are very expensive, they are very helpful to Xu You's accumulation of knowledge.

"Now my copper coin is only about 1.7 centimeters. It is a small coin. It has exquisite brushwork, meticulous knife work, and is not made by machines. This is the characteristic of mother coins. In fact, at that time, copper coins were basically used in the market, and copper coins were no longer available. It is profitable, so copper coins are actually symbolic money and have little use value.

Also because there were few made at the beginning, and there was no use value, so there are very few Xuantong Tongbao in the world. Compared with other Tongbao in the late Qing Dynasty, the price is relatively high, and it has been on the rise in recent years. It is a mother coin, so it is very valuable for collection. "

Lu Mingze nodded in agreement. Xu You spoke very well, and almost said everything he wanted to say. Although he still felt uncomfortable, if he wanted to make a difference in the antique business, he couldn't do it. A narrow-minded person.

"My little friend said it very well. I have a large mother coin of Baoquan Bureau in the mid-Kangxi period in a collector's place in Hualien. It has many similarities with this one. That mother coin is mine. The Tibetan friend spent NT$6 and got it from the auction house. At that time, there was a coin of Xiaoping's carving of Xuantong Tong Baoquan Bureau, which was bid by an old man from Southeast Asia for NT$7. My friend has always kept this It is a great pity.”

Xu Wei nodded, feeling very empathetic. In fact, after Xu Wei found out that he had Manchu blood, for a while, he was very obsessed with the Qing Dynasty culture, and thought about collecting all the copper coins of all generations of the Qing Dynasty, but he couldn't find a suitable one. Heartfelt.

Later, as his understanding of antiques deepened, Xu Wei was not as obsessed with copper coins as he was at the beginning.

Now, because I want some funds to buy more desirable antiques, I want to sell this good-looking and rare Xuantong Tong Baoquan Bureau Xiaoping's mother's money.

But antiques, except for those senior big collectors, who don't barter, batch for batch, otherwise they will definitely die on the side of the road with a room full of antiques.

"I don't know what the current exchange rate of the Taiwan dollar is. Let's calculate it according to the price here. I know that there was a similar Qing Daoguang mother's coin on Dongtai Road two years ago, but the transaction price was 2. My coin If it’s a little rarer than that, 3 would be fine.” Since he wanted to make a move, Xu Wei had naturally inquired about the price, so he opened his mouth without hesitation.

"Okay, you're welcome, I won't bargain, just this price." Lu Mingze clapped his hands, took out the checkbook, and issued an invoice to Xu Wei.

Afterwards, based on this Xuantong mother's money, the two started some stories about antique collection that they knew, and left Lu Yanran aside, making the little girl very bored.

This situation did not change until Chen Zhibei returned home.

"Brother Beizi, you are back, ah, what a big fish." Hearing the sound of opening the door, Xu Wei hurriedly greeted him, "By the way, Brother Beizi, there is an old Mr. Lu inside, who is here to see your doctor." , it was introduced by Chairman Kong.”

"Well, I see." Chen Zhibei was not surprised when he heard that someone was looking for him to see a doctor, he just asked Xu Er to go to the kitchen and put away the things he bought.

When Xu Er came back after putting away his things, he saw Lu Yanran sitting excitedly by the sofa, staring at Chen Zhibei without blinking, and Lu Mingze also looked at Chen Zhibei gratefully.

This made Xu Wei very confused. How long did it take for Brother Beizi to cure her illness?

"You're welcome, I just passed by and saw it." Chen Zhibei saw Xu Wei and motioned to sit beside him.

"Brother Chen, how could you say that? If it wasn't for Brother Chen, I couldn't have imagined what would have happened. Brother Chen, please let me repay your kindness." Lu Yanran widened her eyes and leaned forward , wanting to persuade Chen Zhibei to accept his own wishes.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, there is no way you saved my granddaughter. Our Lu family must repay this kindness." Lu Mingze also agreed with his granddaughter excitedly.

"It's just a few punks, it's not necessary."

Chen Zhibei refused very simply. After all, he was just a little thug at the time, and wanted to attack a little girl without thinking too much about it. Now, the little girl suddenly jumped out to repay her kindness, which made Chen Zhibei a little embarrassed.After all, I really have nothing to ask the other party to repay.

"Mr. Chen, if you say that, you look down on my Lu family. Although our family has little influence in the mainland, we still have some face in Xiangjiang. As long as Mr. Chen says a word, as long as my Lu family can do it, we will definitely be able to do it." Don't delay." Lu Mingze patted his chest, but also very resolute.

Chen Zhibei raised his eyebrows, and then looked at the little girl opposite who was yelling to repay her kindness, well, let's call it a little girl, after all, it has been two or three years since the incident, and the little girl has grown up.

"In that case, I really need your help with something." Since the other party is unwilling to owe favors, I shouldn't be ignorant of flattery.

Lu Mingze smiled very satisfied. The other party obviously understood what he meant, and he didn't want to make more troubles. That's good.

Lu Yanran felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.Obviously the other party is the savior that I have been thinking about for many years, and I have always wanted to repay the favor, but when the other party really asks my grandfather to help, I feel uncomfortable instead.As for why she was uncomfortable, Lu Yanran couldn't tell.

"Let's see a doctor first." The other party agreed, and Chen Zhibei was not pretentious. He took out a small medicine box from under the coffee table and opened it. Apart from a few small medicine bottles, there were two pairs of silver needles and some Xu You unknown things.

Chen Zhibei took Lu Mingze's pulse, at first he was expressionless, but later his brows became more and more tight, looking very embarrassed.

"Mr. Chen, if it's troublesome, forget it. I've lived for 70 years. No matter what, it's enough. It doesn't matter if I live more or less." Lu Mingze saw the other party frowning in embarrassment, and comforted him.

"It can be cured." Chen Zhibei shook his head, "Who prescribed the medicine for you before, it is very wrong."

"It was introduced by a junior, and now the other party feels powerless and has left." When Lu Mingze mentioned the last doctor and junior, his face was a little ugly.

"Come back after seven days to get the medicine, quit drinking, quit being overjoyed and angry, and exercise properly." Chen Zhibei is good at life-saving and dispensing medicine with golden needles, but when dispensing medicine, he never lets others be by his side.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Chen." Lu Mingze also heard people say that Chen Zhibei always dispensed the medicine himself after prescribing it, and then he only needs to come to get the medicine.

This seems normal to Lu Mingze. The most important thing about these handed down skills from master to apprentice is the prescription. Many people try their best to hide their unique secret recipe and regard it as an important legacy that will benefit their children and grandchildren. Naturally, they will not let others know the secret recipe. ingredients and methods.

Afterwards, Lu Mingze left his contact information and made an appointment for the next meeting, and left Xu Er and Chen Zhibei's house with his reluctant granddaughter.

"Brother Beizi, do you eat fish today?" After the two left, Xu You followed Chen Zhibei into the kitchen like a little tail.

"Well, go pick vegetables."
