Jianbao Lingyan

Thinking it was translated from Sanskrit, Xu You hurriedly put the copper incense burner and the small wooden box containing the suspected relics into his backpack, and Chen Zhibei drove him to Guo's house.

Guo Meili’s parents are both retired professors of Shanghai Metropolitan University. The old couple live in the faculty campus not far from Metropolitan University. A few koi are swimming.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a small park than a community.

Mr. Guo has taught books for most of his life. It can be said that the world is full of peaches and plums. During the New Year and holidays, former students often come to pay New Year's greetings to the two old people.

During the Spring Festival this year, Xu Yanzhen brought Xu You over to pay New Year's greetings. At that time, the old man liked Xu You very much and affirmed Xu You's foreign language learning progress.

Coming here now, Xu Bai wouldn't feel nervous.

On the way, Xu You bought some seasonal fruits and a box of snacks, and carried them into Mr. Guo's house together with Chen Zhibei.

"Oh, you child, why are you still taking things? Hurry up, come in, really." Grandma Guo is a very kind old man, and she is very enthusiastic about Xu You. good.

"Grandma Guo, I just want to buy some fruit. This is my brother Beizi, the brother from the same village I told you last time." Xu You entered the room with a smile, and introduced Chen Zhibei to Grandma Guo.

"Grandma Guo, hello." Chen Zhibei entered the hall with a snack box in his hand, and put the snacks on the ground beside the coffee table.

"Okay, okay, I heard Xiao Er mentioned you, you are a good boy, don't be polite, sit down." Grandma Guo gave birth to three boys and one girl, all three sons are in other places, not even in China, only one daughter is by her side, Guo Meili I usually have to work, so I can come here two or three times a month.

In addition, Guo Lao likes to go out for a walk, so Grandma Guo is often at home alone, and what she likes most is having juniors come to visit.

Xu You also likes Grandma Guo very much, and likes to chat with the elderly. Grandma Guo used to be a teacher at Shanghai Metropolitan University, but she only took the etiquette class. Since it is an elective class, she is not considered a professor.But Grandma Guo is very knowledgeable, and she used to study abroad with her parents when she was young.

It is said that several brothers of Grandma Guo are still abroad and have a family business.

Grandma Guo liked Xu You, not only because the child was poor and a relative of her son-in-law's family, but also because Grandma Guo thought Xu You was very well-mannered.

Demeanor, in addition to studying hard from an early age, must also have a certain amount of self-cultivation as an inner part, not everyone can have it.

The son-in-law's family is an ordinary farmer, but he has a certain education from top to bottom, which is already rare.But Grandma Guo saw in Xu Wei, the demeanor and temperament of everyone in ancient times.

Based on the fact that Xu Wei's family has been farming for three generations, Grandma Guo feels that this is a natural and very rare thing, so she especially likes Xu Wei.

In fact, this is the people Xu You has seen in his dreams in the past few years. They are either celebrities or noble women, and they are all very cultivated and well-mannered people. , imitating each other's every move, so it appears to be very decent.

This was formed unconsciously. Xu Wei didn't realize it, and he didn't emphasize it on purpose. Instead, it seemed very natural, and indirectly won more love from Grandma Guo.

Although Mr. Guo called Xu Wei, he went out by himself. The three of them stayed in the living room for a long time before Mr. Guo came back with two of them.

"Brother Zhang, you are here. Did my old Guo buy something for you to hold your eyes?"

"No, come to my store early in the morning and drag me out. Look, I have no choice but to bring the customers along." Grandma Guo said that Brother Zhang is a very rich-looking old man. He was wearing a navy blue silk shirt, a fine jade pendant around his neck, a jade wrench on his finger, a string of agarwood bracelets on his wrist, and a pair of walnuts in his hand.

In Xu You's eyes, Mr. Zhang was colorful and conspicuous.

But if it is said that Zhang is always colorful, then the so-called guest behind him is tall and thin, well-dressed, and has a "rich" atmosphere all over his body. Except for the yellow halo of a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, the whole People are gray.

According to Xu Er's empirical analysis, it is because the things on this person are either objects around the Republic of China, or half-truths.

"Xiao Er is here, did you bring anything?" Mr. Guo greeted Xu Wei kindly when he saw Xu Wei.

"Grandpa Guo, I brought everything." When they entered the room, Xu Er and Chen Zhibei stood up. Hearing Mr. Guo's question, the two hurriedly took the bag from Chen Zhibei's backpack. The things were taken out, but Mr. Guo stopped them.

"Take it to my study, it's inconvenient."

"Damn old man, why don't you say it's inconvenient here? If you want to enter the house, you can go in by yourself, and Xiao Er will chat with me." Grandma Guo pretended to be angry when she heard that she was going to take Xu Wei away.

"Let's talk for a while, talk for a while." Mr. Guo complied with Grandma Guo's anger with a good temper, and accompanied him with a smile.

"Go, go, I'll cook."

"I'll help you." Chen Zhibei rolled up his sleeves and was about to leave with Grandma Guo.

"How good is this, Beizi, you are coming home for the first time, so you can't cook with me." Grandma Guo quickly refused.

"It's okay, I don't understand anyway." After saying this, Grandma Guo was happy. "I don't understand either. Come and go to the kitchen with me. I bought a rice field eel. Let's cook and eat today."

The four of them entered Mr. Guo's study, and as soon as they entered, Mr. Guo asked Xu Er to take out the things.

Xu You carefully placed the two fragments of the copper incense burner on the table, and took out the wooden box.

"Hey, what kind of box do you have, even I can tell that it's not a good thing." Mr. Guo also knew that because of where he worked, Xu Wei knew a little about antiques, and his eyesight was better than his own.

"I bought them on the street for ten yuan each."

"It's expensive, if you ask me, it's only seven yuan." Mr. Guo shook his head.

"That's all right, all right, can't you buy less of something worth ten yuan like you?" Mr. Zhang couldn't get used to such a fool, "Let me see the things first."

Mr. Zhang first picked up the copper censer and looked at the Sanskrit characters on it. Mr. Zhang read it very carefully, first touched the edge, and then sniffed.

"The craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty, this is not a problem. The Sanskrit on the top was printed directly on it when pouring, so there is nothing wrong with it."

"Let me just say, this time it's definitely a real thing. I asked someone to translate this Sanskrit text, 'In August of the second year of Guangda, Master Huikai passed away in Wangyuan Temple'." Mr. Guo is very proud, playing with antiques for so many years , I can finally handle a real ancient relic by myself.

"This is the skill of the Ming Dynasty. Hui Kai was an eminent monk in the Southern and Northern Dynasties." Mr. Zhang's slow words startled Xu Wei.

No, there is a halo, it's true!What went wrong, Xu You pondered.

Mr. Guo was also speechless, "Maybe the sacrificial box where the relics were placed before was broken, and this is a new one?"

"Someone should hide it so that no one can find it." Based on the dream, Xu Wei guessed, "And when it was put in the incense burner, it was hidden from view. Maybe it was made by someone who stole the relic."

"Yes, I asked the monk Zhenwu of Wangyuan Temple, and he also said that, according to records, after Hui Kai passed away, he left a relic, "It looks like dewdrops, like glass, with soft opalescent light, like jade, There is a condensed fragrance, which can be heard in a trance'. However, it was lost in the 15th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, and it was never found again."

"You have also seen the photo. It is exactly the same as the record in Wangyuan Temple. It was lost in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also matched. The incense burner is real. I said Fatty Zhang, professional ethics, professional ethics."

Mr. Guo talked about his research results in the past few days one by one, and the more he talked, the more proud he became. The big boss who was full of fakes, who was able to follow in, had the excitement on his face, and even Xu Wei, a fool, could see it. .

"Look at the relic first." Mr. Zhang waved his hand, "I also read the record you mentioned, and I read it in more detail than you. The shape and color are easier to identify. The most important thing is that it is the only one that cannot be faked. It is because Hui Kai burns incense all the year round and specializes in the way of incense. His body has its own fragrance, so after passing away, there is also sandalwood on the relic, "put it indoors, and it can be smoked for half a day." This is the most important way to distinguish."

"It's really fragrant. You can smell it when you take it out. It smells nice." Xu Er opened the small wooden box and pushed it in front of the elder, "But I think the smoked house is a bit exaggerated, but this small box is But it smells good."

"Oh, let me take a look." Old Zhang picked up the wooden box, held it in front of his nose, closed his eyes and fanned the fragrance towards himself slightly with his hands, after a while, he opened his eyes, "It is indeed Buddha sandalwood, Wangyuan Temple There are only a few in a year, so it is impossible to make a fake."

"Is this the real relic?" The counterfeit owner has been silent since he entered the room. This is the first time he speaks, and he has a strange accent. Xu Wei feels very strange.

"Well, it's true. It's better to take it to test the ingredients, that's more guaranteed." Mr. Zhang was also very excited. Who is Hui Kai? As the true meaning of the four major translators, the most proud disciple, the direct disciple who helped the true meaning translate "Hua Yan", "Nirvana" and "Golden Light". Not long after his death, the true meaning passed away because of grief at Hui Kai. Also passed away.He has a very high status in the history of Buddhism.

"What kind of test, Mr. Zhang, if you say it is true, it is likely to be true. This is a Buddhist treasure. How can you pick it up for testing and blaspheme the Buddha." Heshi, according to the relic, he knelt down, reverently, startled Xu Wei.

After he got up, Mr. Zhang introduced to the two, "This is Mr. Zhou Pengxiang Zhou, an overseas Chinese from Indonesia. He is a very devout Buddhist."

"This is Guo Shuren, a well-known Latin scholar in the world, full of peaches and plums, but the level of antiques is not good."

"Fatty Zhang, did you introduce him like that?" Mr. Guo glared at Mr. Zhang, then pointed, "This is my relative's child, Xu Wei, who is learning English now."

Pointing again, Mr. Zhang, "The biggest antique store on Dongtai Road, the big shopkeeper of Jubaotang, his things are very expensive, you can't go to his house to buy things, if you have any questions, ask him, he takes Joe, you tell me Me, I'll go find him."

"Okay, save some face in front of the juniors, and still look for me, scold me."

It can be seen that the relationship between the two is very good, Xu You can only laugh and giggle at the side and watch the two argue, and dare not intervene at all.

Boss Zhou took this opportunity to come to Xu Wei's side.

"Brother Xu, did you discover this Buddhist treasure?"

"Well, it's mine." Xu Wei nodded, it seemed that there was a business coming.

"Excuse me, I don't know if the little brother wants to make a move?"

"Of course, to tell you the truth, my great-grandfather was a Taoist priest. Those in my family who don't believe in Buddhism don't know what to do with them." Xu You's great-grandfather used the name of a Taoist priest to send information to our army. But the family is really more religious.

"The little brother also saw it. I am a very pious person. The little brother is willing to give up his love. Zhou is very grateful."

"Alright."

"So, I'm here to thank you little brother." As he said, he took out a check, wrote his name on it, and handed it to Xu Wei without filling in the number. Two prices."

Xu Wei took the check. Although this was not the first time he had seen a check, it was the first time he was so shocked. Fill it in casually?How much will do?

How much should I fill in?

Xu You has never seen a similar relic transaction in the market, and there is no reference price at all.

If you fill in too much, Xu You feels embarrassed, if you fill in less, Xu You is afraid that people will complain that you are blocking people's money.

How to do?
