Jianbao life

Chapter 57

After the meal, Zhou Wenping said to Chu Chen and the others: "You guys take a break at my house this afternoon, and we will dig out the house tomorrow, but the conditions at home are limited, I hope everyone will forgive me!"

Everyone said that there was no problem, and they all took out various gifts. Because of the rush, they didn't have time to give them out.

Seeing Zhou Wenping's family evade, Chu Chen said: "Uncle and aunt, there are only some supplements and nothing valuable. If you don't accept these, then why should we bother next time?"

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother saw that they couldn't make excuses, so they had no choice but to accept it, but Chu Chen was also careful, and even prepared gifts from Zhou's sister-in-law's parents, and they happened to be there, so they gave them together.

Speaking of which, although the journey on the train was lively, it was indeed tiring, but when we arrived in a strange place, the novelty hadn't passed, and everyone couldn't relax.So Zhou Wenping took them and walked around the neighborhood, and it was considered a small experience of the local customs.

The next day, Chu Chen got up early and was about to go to the yard to practice boxing, but unexpectedly discovered that Chu Yulan also got up and came to the yard.

Chu Chen asked with a smile: "Xiaolan, what's the matter, do you accept the bed?"

"No, I slept very comfortably. I'm just used to getting up at this time every day to exercise. Brother Chu, are you going to practice boxing? Will it disturb you?" Chu Yulan asked with a smile.

"Would that be the case, since you also want to exercise, let's start together."

After finishing speaking, they looked at each other and smiled for two days, then put on airs and started exercising.

What Chu Yulan said about exercising her body turned out to be practicing boxing. The difference is that her boxing should be a type of military boxing.But what surprised Chu Chen was that this kind of boxing was somewhat familiar in his memory, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

After both of them stopped, Chu Chen asked, "Xiaolan, I don't know where you learned your boxing skills, why does it look a little familiar to you?"

After Chu Yulan heard the words, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she replied with a smile: "This is military boxing, which was taught by my family. It should be a very common boxing method, so you feel familiar with it, Brother Chu." Bar."

Chu Chen was a little relieved after hearing the words, so he smiled and said: "Oh, so it is like this. You have finished your practice, so let's go back. I guess breakfast is almost ready, and I can smell the fragrance."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the hall first. What he didn't see was that after he turned around, Chu Yulan breathed a sigh of relief. ...

Mrs. Zhou’s natal home is not very far from Zhou Wenping’s house, and it only takes three to 10 minutes to walk. However, because of the children, everyone did not choose to walk. It happened that there was a tractor in the village going there, so they took it. hitchhiked.

Although it was a novelty for everyone to ride a tractor for the first time, it didn’t feel interesting after a few minutes. Fortunately, the distance was short, otherwise because of the road conditions, the buttocks would be unbearable.

Mrs. Zhou's house looks worse than Zhou Wenping's. This is because Mrs. Zhou's family has only one daughter, unlike Zhou Wenping who has an older sister who can help.And because Mrs. Zhou was ill, her family also spent a lot of money for her, so they had no money to repair the house.

Mrs. Zhou's parents enthusiastically welcomed them into the house. After sitting for a while, Mrs. Zhou and the two children were left behind. Mrs. Zhou's father took Chu Chen and others to their destination this time. The second uncle mentioned.

On the way, Mrs. Zhou's father also briefly introduced the situation of the second uncle's family.

The second uncle's name is Ma An, and he is 76 years old this year. His family used to be a landlord, but before the founding of the New Hua Kingdom, his family had already begun to fall into disrepair.This Ma An didn't learn well when she was young, and because of her family status, she broke the pot and didn't get a daughter-in-law until she was in her 40s.

Although his daughter-in-law gave birth to a son for him, but that son is not a fuel-efficient lamp.In the past, Ma An's wife took care of him, and it was better, but a few years ago, his wife died of a serious illness, and the boy became a wild horse, and it got worse.

Maybe it's retribution. Last month, his son stole chicken from someone else's house. He fell off the wall and didn't know where he hit it. Don't underestimate the money spent.

Ma An had no choice but to prepare to sell some of the things at home, which he said were left by the older generation, so he begged Mrs. Zhou.

After the lecture, Mrs. Zhou's father warned them: "Ma An's family should say good things, there should be some, but he is hard to believe, and he should be a snack when you do business later."

Led by Mrs. Zhou's father, everyone came to a Guanzhong-style folk house. Although the house was a bit old, it looked very imposing. It can be guessed that the original owner's family background should be good.

"Second Uncle, are you home?" Mrs. Zhou's father knocked on the door and shouted loudly.

After he yelled a few times, the door of the house opened, and an old man about 80 or [-] years old, with a thin face and a little messy hair came out. This person should be Ma An.

"So it's Guozhong, who are these?" Ma An looked at Chu Chen and the others and asked.

Sister-in-law Zhou's father smiled and said, "A while ago, didn't you ask the hungry girl to find buyers for you? These are the guests from the capital."

"Please come in, please come in!"

After hearing the words, Ma An smiled all over his face and welcomed everyone in.

When they came to the hall, after the two sides introduced each other, Ma An asked everyone to sit down, poured everyone a glass of water, and said, "Wait, you are hungry, go get the things now."

Everyone waited for five or six minutes before seeing Ma An walked in carefully holding a stone tablet-like thing and a brocade box, put it on the table, and said to everyone:

"You should also know the situation of Hungry's family. I don't want to say much about Hungry. I just hope that I can take care of Hungry for a while. Don't worry, the things are all good things. They are handed down from Hungry ancestors. You will definitely not suffer a loss if you buy them. .”

Chu Chen replied with a smile: "Uncle Ma, don't worry, as long as the things are good, the price will definitely not let you suffer."

First of all, what everyone looked at was the thing that looked like a stele. As soon as they saw it, Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping knew what it was, and shook their heads.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Ma An hurriedly asked: "What, there is something wrong with this thing? This thing has been there since I was a child! My father told me to keep it safe when I handed it over to me."

Chu Chen smiled and said: "This thing is a land coupon, and the time should be in the Ming Dynasty."

Hearing this, Ma An breathed a sigh of relief, and asked strangely, "Since it belongs to the Ming Dynasty, why are you still shaking your heads?"

And Chu Yulan and the others also showed curious expressions. Since this is from the Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as an antique, and there are vertical grids between the lines of the characters on it, and the engraved characters are also very neat. It shouldn't be that bad.

"Well, Uncle Ma, you may be a little disappointed after hearing what I'm going to say."

Chu Chen first gave him a vaccination: "This land purchase certificate is also called "tomb bie" and "land certificate". It is very different from the title deed, which is to buy land for the dead after death, and it must be buried in the ground with the dead to prove that the cemetery belongs to him.”

"The main content written on it is to buy a house in the underworld for the dead, and ask officials at all levels in the underworld not to infringe on the souls of the dead. Yin and Yang are in different realms, and the ghosts of the dead should not return to the human world to haunt the world and reunite the living."

After hearing this, Ma An was rather disappointed, but still looked at Chu Chen with hope in his eyes, and asked: "Although they are for burial, aren't many of the antiques you are talking about now also for burial? By the way, how much is it worth?"

Chu Chen replied with an apologetic face: "Uncle Ma, I'm really sorry, this thing is useful for us to understand the ancient funeral culture, but in terms of value, most people would not buy it. And I looked at the above Literally, the owner of this stele should be your ancestor, so..."

When Chu Yulan and the others heard that this was the case, they immediately frowned, thinking, this Ma An wouldn't dig up his ancestor's grave just to make money!
Hearing this, Ma An's expression changed greatly. He didn't expect that what he thought was a treasure at the beginning was actually the land coupon purchased by his ancestor after his death. He didn't know what to say for a while, and he finally calmed down. Then he opened the brocade box and said to everyone:

"I won't talk about that thing just now. This thing must be a good thing. I showed it to an old professor decades ago, and he said it was a good thing."

Everyone looked into the brocade box, including the two girls, all of them were refreshed, because the brocade box contained a Tang Sancai horse.

After inquiring about Ma An, Chu Chen put on his gloves, and carefully picked up the Tang Sancai to admire.

This Tang Sancai horse has a white body and a brown-red body.Head raised, the horse's head is small, but the neck is long, the ears are upright, the eyes are gazing ahead, the leg muscles are prominent and vigorous, standing on the rectangular pedal arched in the center.

The horse's mane is white, the mane is cut and the tail is tied, and the bridle is decorated with saddles. It has a green leather belt tied on the chest and back, green apricot leaves on the leather belt, and a green blanket on the outside of the saddle. It can be said that the decoration technology is extremely exquisite. Every detail is handled meticulously.The whole horse looks lifelike, and it has a special spirit, which makes people have endless aftertaste after watching it.

However, although the shape of this horse is realistic, and it looks exactly the same as the real one in terms of tires, cuts, and patina, but after Chu Chen got it, although the supernatural ability responded, he still felt something was wrong. Afterwards, he observed carefully , indeed found a few deadly places, after using the ability, he felt regret and a trace of doubt in his heart.
