Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 38 Ghost City
"Xiao Kun, you go back first, I'll go find Yang Huajian."

"I'll take a look at my master."

"Come on, let's separate here, brothers."

"to make."

After dinner in the Qianmen cafeteria, Han Chunming planned to go to Yang Huajian to see if he could help build a truck.

Uncle Zhang’s house is a bit far away, and it would take several trips to pull it with a tricycle, which would be time-consuming and laborious.

If I can get a truck, I can pull all the rest back in one trip.

Although Uncle Zhang’s village trucks can’t get in, they can park outside the village and use a tricycle to transfer, which is much easier.

After the two separated, Yang Yukun went straight to Rouge Alley.

Soon, we arrived at the master's house.

"Master, I'm back."

"Uncle Kun."

"Xiaohua, you're here too."

"Ah."

Broken Hou smiled and said, "The apprentice is back, have you eaten yet?"

"Have eaten, Brother Wu treats you, and we'll go to the restaurant on the second floor of the Qianmen canteen."

"It's been almost half a month since I went there. I haven't found any good treasures. Let me show it to my teacher."

"Master, how about my pair of cups?"

"The things imitated from the Yongzheng period are not bad. Don't you tell me that you bought this pair of things in half a month?"

"Other things are not of high value, and the collection value is not great. I sold them all to Xiao Wu, so I kept this pair of cups."

"Boy, master Ni, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, so don't play tricks with me, you kid, you must have found other good treasures, right?"

"Master, why don't you believe me? I'm your direct disciple."

"Because you are my apprentice, I know what kind of character you are. Don't hide it. It's like a teacher trying to rob you."

"Hey..., nothing can be hidden from the master's eyes, master, please hold your eyes."

The master is an old fox, and it is basically impossible to fool him with a pair of Yongzheng imitation cups.

So when he was at the door, Yang Yukun took out the Southern Song Ge Kiln pierced ear bottle from the portable planting space.

"Good guy, Southern Song Ge Kiln ear piercing bottle, I knew you found a good treasure."

Broken Hou will know that this apprentice is dishonest, let him cheat out.

Ge kiln porcelain from the Southern Song Dynasty is a very rare and good item.

In his hand, there is a Ge Kiln Bafang cup from the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Master, my pierced ear bottle is not bad, how is it better than your Bafang Cup?"

"It is indeed very rare. Compared with my Ge Kiln Bafang Cup, it is not bad at all. Put it away and treasure it well."

"Got it."

"By the way, let me tell you about this. Someone opened a ghost market at Baoguo Temple on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. I originally planned to go and see it myself. Now that you are back, would you like to go shopping with me?"

"Ghost city?"

"Yes, no one has organized this thing for a long time. I don't know who organized it behind the scenes, but you can see good things that you don't usually see in the ghost market. It is said that there will be an auction, and there will be treasures from the Dingdongling Mausoleum. Appeared at the ghost market auction, I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

"The treasure buried with the Empress Dowager?"

"This news must have been released by the person who organized the ghost market. As for whether it is real or a smoke bomb, you can find out after a look. Many collectors in Sijiu City have received the news that there will be a ghost market at nine o'clock in the evening on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. open."

"Then I have to go and see."

Yang Yukun was really interested in this ghost market.

He cared nothing about the organizers behind the ghost market.

He is more concerned about whether there is really a treasure buried with the Empress Dowager in the ghost market.

Back then, Sun Kuiyuan robbed the Empress Dowager Dingdong Tomb and Qianlong Yuling Tomb. Thirty carts filled with rare treasures from the two tombs.

When the Empress Dowager was alive, she lived a luxurious life, and she would not stop when she died.

Her Dingdong Tomb cost 2207 million taels of silver and took 14 years to complete.

There are countless funerary objects inside, all of which are priceless and rare treasures.

From the construction of the mausoleum of the Queen Mother to the funeral objects inside, the total value is no less than 500 million taels of silver.

According to Li Lianying's "Notes of Aiyuexuan" and the Qing Ministry of Internal Affairs' "Following the Empress Dowager Xiaoqin, Giving Clothes Plates, and Rewarding Memorial Clothes" records.

The treasures that the Empress Dowager put into the underground palace during her lifetime include 27 mussel Buddhas, 27 golden Buddhas, 27 emerald Buddhas, 27 jade Buddhas, [-] ruby ​​Buddhas, two emerald watermelons, four emerald melons... Countless treasures .

The most precious of them is a night pearl weighing four, two, two and seven cents.

This luminous pearl is not a complete sphere, but separated, with two hemispheres on the left and right.

When they are separated, they are exquisite and translucent and dull, but when they are closed, there is a green cold light. At night, the hair can be seen within a hundred steps.

According to legend, this orb originally belonged to the Mughal Dynasty.

Later, the orb was coveted by the king of Afghanistan, who sent troops eight times to expedition against the Mughal dynasty.

Later, the Qing Dynasty rose, and around 1960, the Afghan Dynasty sent a mission to pay tribute to the treasure to Qianlong.

As a result, this luminous pearl was passed down among the royal family of the Qing court, and finally reached the hands of the Queen Mother.

This orb was later given to Chang Kaishen's wife by Dai Chunfeng entrusted by Sun Kuiyuan.

Mrs. Chang did not treat this orb as a treasure, but treated it as a shoe ornament, and inlaid it on her favorite high-heeled shoes.

Later, this orb disappeared, and its whereabouts became suspicious.

In addition to the treasures that were sent by Sun Kuiyuan to avoid disasters and sold, there are too many stolen treasures in Dingdongling and Yuling, and the whereabouts are full of fog.

Now that someone is organizing a ghost market, and there is news that there will be treasures from the Dingdong Tomb appearing in the ghost market, Yang Yukun has to join in the fun no matter what.

"Come and see me at six o'clock in the evening on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and we, master and apprentice, will go and have a look."

"Good master."

"Come on, we master and apprentice haven't had a drink together for a long time, let's have a drink with the master."

"Come on, master, I respect you."

Yang Yukun filled the wine for the master, and then filled it for himself.

"Dad, Xiaokun, you're drinking."

"Sister Hou, long time no see, come to pick up Xiaohua?"

"Yes, Dad, this is the fruit your son-in-law bought for you."

"Put it there."

"Okay, by the way, Dad, your son-in-law asked you to have dinner at home tomorrow night. He will rest tomorrow afternoon and said he would have a drink with you."

"Tell this kid, prepare two more bottles of good wine and two more appetizers."

"Okay, I'll tell him when I get back, Xiaokun, don't cook tomorrow night, go to my house to eat."

"Got it."

"Then I'll take Xiaohua back first, Xiaohua, say goodbye to Grandpa and Uncle Kun."

"Grandpa, I'll come to see you tomorrow. Goodbye, Uncle Kun."

"Goodbye."

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Yang Yukun was having a drink with the master, and Hou Su'e came to pick up the child.

Yang Yukun stayed at the master's house until after eight o'clock in the evening before leaving the master's house.
