Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 303 Visiting the grave on the second day of the Lunar New Year?

After Yang Xiaole left, he went straight to the old man's side.

When I got to the place, I opened the door with the key and walked in directly.

When I came to the screen wall, a brocade box appeared in my hand. This was the one that I had originally given to the old man, but I had always forgotten to give it to him.

I took some things from visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year before going in.

"Master!!"

As soon as he came in, he shouted inside.

But after shouting, he stopped, because at this time the old man was chatting with another old man!

Looking at this outfit, he looks like an old man.

Seeing him coming, the two stopped talking.

When the other party turned to look over, Yang Xiaole smiled, and he was actually an old acquaintance.

Mr. Tong.

"Master!! Mr. Tong!!"

After coming in, Yang Xiaole looked at the two people and said hello.

Seeing his appearance, Mr. Tong was surprised: "Is it you?"

Then he looked at Master Suo: "Master Suo, is this your apprentice? Oops, I was mistaken! When did you accept another apprentice?"

Master Suo gestured to Yang Xiaole to sit down, and then looked at Mr. Tong: "I collected it last year."

Hearing this, Mr. Tong looked Yang Xiaole up and down and nodded.

Then he stood up and hugged his fists: "Master Suo, I leave this matter to you!"

Suo Ye also stood up after hearing this, and also clasped his fists: "I can only say try my best, you also know that the current world is not very good!"

Mr. Tong also nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll take my leave now and come back to visit another day."

Then he said hello and left.

Suo Ye personally sent the other party to the steps at the door of the hall, watched the other party leave, and then turned back.

After the others left, the old man came back, looked at Yang Xiaole who had just sat down and asked, "Why are you here today? Are you not visiting relatives?"

"Oh, I'm not leaving today. I'm coming over to say New Year's greetings to you!"

After saying that, he asked curiously: "What's going on? Mr. Tong is looking for you to do something?"

Mr. Suo sat back in his seat and said calmly: "What else can I do! I'm short of money, and I'm going to sell off some of my ancestors' property!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole's eyes lit up: "Oh, if there is anything good, Master, you have to keep it for me! It has to be good stuff, just forget it."

Suo Ye glanced at him angrily when he heard this: "Do you want Suihou Pearl?"

"Sui Houzhu? What the hell?"

Yang Xiaole was curious.

Suo Ye picked up the tea leaves on the table, took a sip, and then said lightly: "Haven't you ever learned how to make a perfect match?"

"I've learned it! What does this have to do with it?"

"Then do you know what the 'bi' in Zhulianbihe is?"

Yang Xiaole thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "How did I know this! Doesn't this idiom just talk about pearls and beautiful jade, describing the beautiful appearance of beautiful things gathered together? It can't be He's Bi, right?"

Of course he knows the idioms.

But where did he know this allusion? Apart from He's Bi, he couldn't think of anything else famous.

The old man took a sip of water and did not answer him. Instead, he said: "There is a saying in "Huainanzi": "The pearl of Suihou, the jade of Bian He, the one who gains it is rich, and the one who loses it is poor."

After a pause, he put down the water glass and continued: "The entry for "Suihe" in the old "Ci Hai" also has annotations: "Suihou's pearl and Bian He's bi are both treasures, so they are both called Suihe. ""

Yang Xiaole was confused for a moment.

He really doesn't have this skill.

But it can be heard that one is Suihou's Pearl and the other is Bian He's Bi. Both are treasures. When combined together, they are called Suihe, which represents two things.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that Bian He's Bi sounded familiar!
Seeing his expression, Suo Ye shook his head: "If you have nothing to do, read more books."

Then he explained: ""Han Feizi·He Shi" records that Bian He accidentally obtained a piece of raw jade while cutting firewood on the Chu Mountain, and offered it to King Chu Li and King Chu Wu successively, but was punished by death penalty by King Chu Li and King Wu of Chu respectively. After the "weeping jade" was found under Jingshan Mountain, King Wen of Chu recognized the treasure and carved it into the world-famous "He's Bi". There are legends such as "Bian He presented the jade" and "Bian He wept the jade"."

Yang Xiaole reacted when he heard that Bian He occasionally got a piece of jade while cutting firewood on Chu Mountain.

Isn’t this damn Heshi Bi!
Sure enough, after listening to it, the correspondence came to mind.

It’s interesting. He likes to hear the stories behind these antiques. Antiques are not that important to him.

Then he hurriedly asked: "Master, of course I know the Heshi Bi. This thing has disappeared. What is the Suihou Pearl you are talking about?"

Seeing this, Mr. Suo continued: "What we usually call easy-going is actually the first name for Suihou Pearl and He's Bi. Suihou Pearl is a treasure of Sui State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is also called "Suizhu". ", together with "He's Bi", are known as the "Two Treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period"."

Yang Xiaole felt weird for a while after hearing this: "Master, don't tell me, Mr. Tong has that thing? Is it true? What did his ancestors do to be so powerful?"

After hearing this, the old man thought for a moment and shook his head: "I'm not sure whether that thing is true or false. Not only me, I guess no one is sure about the authenticity of that thing."

He glanced at Yang Xiaole and saw that the other party was confused, so he said: ""Huainanzi" records that Suihou saved a broken snake back then. A year later, the snake came to repay Suihou with a pearl in its name, "The pearl is full of diameter. , pure white, and bright at night, like the moonlight, it can candle a room, so it is called 'Suihou Pearl', also called 'Spirit Snake Pearl', and also called 'Mingyue Pearl'. "

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "I don't understand!"

He wanted to say, old man, speak human language.

But he dared not.

Seeing this, the old man was speechless for a moment, and then said: "It has been passed down that there are many sources. Some people say it is a night pearl, some people say it is colored glaze, and some people say it is an East China Sea pearl. No one is sure about this thing. "

After listening, Yang Xiaole understood.

Then he asked: "What is in Master Tong's hand?"

Glaze is just glass, so what’s so good about that thing? Unless it really has a historical origin, even if it’s glass, it’s still a treasure.

Just like Emperor Qianlong's royal urinal, it's an ordinary thing, but as long as it can be proven true or false, it's still a treasure.

As for the pearls, that’s bullshit.

Pearls simply don't last that long.

"Night Pearl!"

The old man said lightly.

When he heard this, Yang Xiaole suddenly lost any interest.

Seeing his expression, the old man was surprised: "What's wrong? Are you not interested in Ye Mingzhu either?"

Yang Xiaole said with a smile: "I'm really not interested. It's not like anyone has owned it."

The luminous pearl is actually fluorite, which can glow at night after being illuminated by the sun.

This thing was a treasure in ancient times.

It cannot be said that this thing is not precious.

If it's a treasure collected by a celebrity, something that opens a big door, then that's pretty much it.

It would be nonsense to regard it as a treasure like the Suihou Pearl. The Luminous Pearl with no historical background is just a piece of fluorite in his opinion, no different from the newly produced fluorite.

After hearing this, the old man thought about it and said, "I don't know whether this Suihou Pearl is a real Suihou Pearl, but it is said that this thing was owned by Empress Xiaokangzhang of the Tongjia family, and it has been passed down for 400 years."

"What a familiar name?"

Yang Xiaole muttered, and then asked in surprise: "Is she the biological mother of Emperor Kangxi?"

The old man nodded gently when he heard this: "Not bad!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was confused.

Luminescent pearls have a very embarrassing status, because they are essentially fluorite, and the domestic stock accounts for almost one-third of the world's.

Even in a place where the legend of the Night Pearl has been around for a long time, it is not worth much.

They are all sold for several thousand yuan per ton.

On the contrary, the price of something with the blessing of a historical celebrity goes straight to the sky.After the Empress Dowager Cixi's burial objects were dug up, the luminous pearl in her mouth was given to the bald head by Sun Dianying.

The bald daughter-in-law is someone from Song.

It was sold to John Rockefey, an oil tycoon in the United States, for a price of 80 million taels of silver, which can be said to be a sky-high price. It was later collected in his museum.

If this is also true, the value is quite high.

It’s just that the price is hard to say.

Thinking of this, he asked: "Master, how much does he want?"

"Eight thousand!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole clicked his tongue and shook his head.

How can it be!

say high.

It is indeed ridiculously high, but if there are people with foreign methods, it is really not too high to resell.

Say it low!
I don't think anyone can afford it. If I go to a cultural relics store, I don't know if I should hand it in.

After thinking about it, he said to him: "Master, forget it during the New Year these days. I will go and take a look when I have time."

He was not in a hurry, it was strange that such an expensive thing could be sold.

The most important thing is that his interest is not particularly great.

The old man nodded gently: "Sure, you can figure it out yourself."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and opened the brocade box he brought with him: "Master, take a look, but first let's talk about it. This is for your boss, Zhang Yan, not as a gift to you!"

As he spoke, he pushed the brocade box over.

The old man took the box, opened it, looked at it, and stood up in shock.

"This...this...where did you come from?"

Yang Xiaole shrugged: "Yes, I received it accidentally. Is there anything special about this?"

The old man carefully took out the things, put them in his hands and looked at them, and said without raising his head: "Do you know Cishou Temple? Auntie Xihe sang, Linglong Pagoda, Linglong Pagoda, the thirteenth floor of Linglong Pagoda, said It's the Cishou Temple.

At that time, the Empress Dowager Cixi was worried that she would not be reincarnated after death, so she ordered people to spend a lot of money to build such an exquisite mutton-fat white jade pagoda on her birthday, hoping that she would enter bliss after death. "

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly upon hearing this.

People in the past were still very superstitious, like a Purana quilt, which was used to cover her body after death.

But it was still taken away.

The old man looked at it for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Where did you collect it from? Are there any others?"

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he smiled and said, "I don't know. I'll go take a look someday. If there is one, I'll show it to you!"

Hearing nothing else, the old man felt disappointed.

Sighing, he thought of something and said angrily: "Sun Dianying is a traitor. He is a son of a man in vain. He is capable of doing such outrageous things."

Yang Xiaole didn't say anything when he heard this.

After all, the other party is a Manchu, and Kangxi and Cixi are their ancestors. Who can bear the burden of digging up ancestral graves?

But fortunately, they are not blood ancestors.

Then he said: "Master, I'll leave this to you. When you're done playing, return it to me! Don't spit on me!"

The old man nodded slightly when he saw this, then raised his head, stood up and entered the house.

After a while, he took out a brocade box.

He handed the thing to him: "Here, this is a small thing. I collected it for you last time."

Yang Xiaole curiously took it and took a look.

I picked it up and looked at it for a while, then I was surprised.

This is a light red jade bowl.

There are some lotus flowers and other patterns hollowly carved on it. Everything is crystal clear, with very few impurities, and it still looks very exquisite.

But that's not what he cared about.

It's that this thing gives him a very energetic feeling when he touches it.

Then he was thinking about it. After he drank green granules and took too many drugs last time, he had an extra function that could scan the outside world.

After such a long time, it's not like he hasn't thought about trying other things.

But when he thought that he had taken too many drugs that day and fainted, he was still a little worried.

I’m deeply afraid that I don’t understand and accidentally drink too much and kill myself.

Because he didn't know if he was lucky or what happened when he fainted and woke up again.

What if he explodes and dies?
Looking at this thing, Yang Xiaole asked curiously: "Master, where does this thing come from? What material is it made of?"

The old man was looking at the white jade pagoda, and said without raising his head when he heard this: "Oh, this was collected by a person from the Gege family. The family was in a tight situation, so I gave this thing away. It was not expensive, 120 yuan. As for The material is southern red agate.”

"Tsk, tsk, Master, you are so generous! 120 yuan."

However, considering that ancient people have loved jade since ancient times, the price of good jade is not low.

Compared with porcelain, many people who don’t understand really can’t tell whether it’s good or bad.

There are not many people who sell national treasures for four or five yuan each.

After thinking about it, he put away his things and prepared to go shopping some time later. He still wanted to try out what effect the other colors of well water would have if used to the extreme.

As powerful as an ox.

The kind that becomes a natural god?

Out of curiosity, I put the things away.

Seeing that the old man was still staring at the white jade pagoda, he smiled and said: "Master, I'll leave first!"

The old man raised his head when he heard this, glanced at him, and nodded gently: "Let me keep this thing for a few days, and I will return it to you in a few days!"

"It's okay, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry!"

Seeing that the old man was still watching, he said hello and left the compound with a smile.

After coming out, I looked around and wondered if I should go to Su Ling's house. After all, my sister was studying here.

At this time, the master has the same status as his parents.

But after thinking about it, I might as well forget it and wait until after the third grade of junior high school.

I also need to bring something with me over to Wheat.

Then he rode back on his bike.

On the way back, I saw Qu Ying walking there with her head bowed and a basket in her arms.

When he came closer, the car stopped and he asked with a smile: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Qu Ying was startled by this action.

He looked around and asked strangely: "What are you doing? Don't you visit relatives during the Chinese New Year?"

"Oh, I'm not leaving this year. My dad went by himself. What are you doing? I saw you leaving with your things this morning. Why are you back so soon? You didn't eat at someone else's house."

Hearing this, Qu Ying shook her head: "I'm going to visit the grave."

Then he picked up his things and left

Yang Xiaole felt weird for a while when he heard this.

Neuropathy!

Visiting the grave on the second day of the Lunar New Year?

The New Year's graves are all completed years ago. How can we visit the graves at this time?
