first divine calculation

Chapter 85

Banruo thought for a while, held his hand, and when she got down the slope, she raised her lips and smiled. "Thanks."

"My family, you don't have to be polite." Huo Yubai said with deep eyes and seriousness.

Prajna was speechless for a moment.

Huo Yubai sat in the car and asked, "Go home?"

"No, you go back first! I'm going to participate in the ghost market here tonight."

"Ghost market?" Huo Yubai glanced at her, then turned the car calmly, and said in a deep voice, "In this case, let's have dinner first, and go there in the evening."

"You are busy with your work. After I finish visiting the ghost market, I can go back by myself." Banruo insisted.

"You don't have to see me like this. You have to understand that if we are really together in the future, we will be on the same boat." Huo Yubai took a deep look at her, but he persisted like never before.

"On a boat? As if I had to face the wind and the waves."

"You can say that." Huo Yubai didn't deny it, he looked at the road ahead, and Prajna couldn't see his expression clearly. "Although what Qingcheng said at Baoli's autumn shoot that day was not pleasant, one thing is true. My wife, Huo Yubai, will be the mistress of the Huo family in the future. The Huo family has always been very strict with the mistress. It's hard to do well, and if we're going to be together, I have to let you know in advance, it's not going to be easy."

Prajna can probably imagine a thing or two about the Huo family's situation.

In fact, according to her current situation, there is no need to choose such a hard mode for herself. With her current wealth, she does not lack anything. Even if he is outstanding in appearance and ability, it is not necessary for him.

"Sounds like quite a challenge."

"Indeed." Huo Yu's white eyes flashed a faint light.

The car soon stopped in front of a shopping mall. On the way from the parking lot to the restaurant, a group of children with flowers chased Huo Yubai and said:

"Sir, can you buy a bunch of flowers for your girlfriend?"

These children kept hugging Huo Yubai's legs, besieged them from left to right, and refused to let them go, as if they were determined to make him buy it.

Hannya was a little tired of this behavior, she glanced at the little friend, and then said:
"Have you ever seen Dad buy flowers for his daughter?"

The kid was frightened by these words, he glanced at the two of them maturely, then seemed to feel bored, and ran away in a blink of an eye.

Huo Yubai looked at her with admiration.

"I don't see that you like role-playing. Is the father-daughter drama too heavy?"

"What are you talking about?" Banruo frowned slightly, "I just wanted to drive that little girl away."

"Or, do I look that old?"

"I thought men wouldn't mind this sort of thing."

"That's not necessarily the case." Huo Yubai raised the corners of his lips, and his tone seemed genuine, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you buy one. A man's life must be given to a woman once to be considered complete."

It's not that Banruo is unwilling to do good deeds, nor does she have to be serious, she just doesn't like these children here with sophisticated expressions and numb eyes, chasing every couple to buy flowers.

"Just don't like being forced."

Huo Yubai pondered: "The flowers are wilting too, so it's a bit imprudent to buy them for you."

"I don't like flowers very much."

"I guessed it, but it doesn't matter, there will be opportunities in the future."

After Huo Yubai finished speaking, he led Prajna to the mall, where he stopped in front of the skin care product counter.

Banruo looked at this counter selling women's skin care products, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What are you bringing me here for? Do you want to buy something?"

"It's not me, it's you." Huo Yubai said, "You didn't bring anything, you always need to buy some toiletries."

Banruo brought a bag with her before she came. Hearing what he said, she froze for a moment, "Why? My bag..." Oops!It seems that it fell on Qian Yuanji's car.

"Remember?" Huo Yubai smiled faintly.

Since she didn't bring anything, she always had to buy some toiletries. Banruo went to the skin care supermarket and picked out a few of the simplest ones. She didn't need to use those bottles and cans now, as long as the daily washing and wiping things would do.

Seeing that she had chosen well, Huo Yubai took out his wallet to pay the bill.

Banruo has never asked a man to pay for him, so he feels a little uncomfortable at the moment.She insisted, "I'll do it myself!"

"You can ask for this from other men, but this man in front of you is your future husband, don't you think that your husband's money is not for nothing?" Huo Yubai said very seriously.

Banruo didn't expect this level, she has always been used to being financially independent, and she never had a boyfriend in her previous life.

"If men have to pay, then what's the use of my money?" Banruo asked casually.

"It's hard to think about it? Keep it as private money." Huo Yubai said seriously.

After buying skin care products, Huo Yubai took her upstairs to the place where pajamas were sold.

"The pajamas in the hotel are dirty, you'd better pick one and buy some new ones..." Huo Yubai said.

Banruo quickly picked out a pair of pajamas that were simple in style but comfortable in quality, and then she picked out underwear. To be honest, with her temperament, it was somewhat embarrassing to buy underwear in front of a man for the first time.

Huo Yubai was quite considerate, he stood far away the whole time, and only came over when paying.

Banruo finally picked up the paid clothes and planned to leave this embarrassing place, but heard the salesman chasing after him shouting:

"Girl, if B wears too big, you can exchange it."

Change your sister!
In the afternoon, Banruo was resting in the room, Gu Xixi called and said: "Hanruo, I met your sister when I was shopping, and she said you went to Linshi?"

"Yes."

"Go alone?"

"And Huo Yubai."

"What? Great God?" Gu Xixi quickly got up from the bed, and put on a serious gossip posture. "Come back tonight?"

"Not coming back, I have something to do."

"Damn!" Gu Xixi suddenly became interested, and she said in an ambiguous tone: "Prajna! The world with two great gods! Take advantage of the opportunity! By the way, how many rooms do you open?"

"Of course there are two rooms. Where do you want to go?"

"Ah?" Gu Xixi elongated her tone, obviously disappointed. "What's the matter, my god? Isn't the pace too slow? It's been a semester, and you two are still dawdling like this. If you put it on ordinary people, you will have children."

Prajna was amused by her. "Please, I'm still a student."

In fact, Gu Xixi simply blamed Huo Yubai for this matter. If she asked Huo Yubai, Huo Yubai would definitely ask her back, when is the best time to eat a duck with its mouth full?
The answer, of course, is after fattening!

"Okay! Then you should cultivate your relationship well." Gu Xixi finally confessed.

At night, Banruo knocked on Huo Yubai's door.

The door opened, and Huo Yubai, who was wearing a black lace-up nightgown, was wiping his half-dry hair with a towel. The fine hair was casually drooping on his forehead, giving him a lazy and sexy look.He has always been well-groomed, this is the first time Banruo sees him so casually, the breath of life is too strong, which makes people not used to it, but it also makes people look fresh.

"Come in!" Huo Yubai opened the door.

Banruo handed him the phone. "Zhao Mingyuan's call, he said your phone was turned off."

"Probably out of power."

Huo Yubai picked up the phone and talked to Zhao Mingyuan for a while. After a while, the two of them finished their business, and Zhao Mingyuan smiled and said:

"Second Master, it has developed to the point where I still need to call the master to find you. It's really gratifying!"

Huo Yubai glanced at Banruo, and didn't answer his words, only hummed.

Zhao Mingyuan continued: "Second Master, I depend on you for my wallet!"

Huo Yubai's expression remained the same, and his voice remained unchanged. "How much did you bet this time?"

"200."

"What kind of gambling?"

Zhao Mingyuan's tone was a little guilty: "Well, I bet you can trick the master into bed within two months."

Huo Yubai frowned, but his tone remained calm, "Mingyuan, you used the wrong words."

Zhao Mingyuan reacted for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Yes! How can you cheat! Our master is so wise and mighty, you can't cheat even if you want to."

"Ah."

"Remember! My wallet!" Zhao Mingyuan urged thousands of times. "We must speed up the progress!"

Huo Yubai hung up the phone directly.

After dinner, Banruo went back to the hotel to rest for a while, she didn't feel sleepy, but strangely, she fell asleep immediately while lying on the bed.

Prajna had a dream, and she dreamed of the ghost couple again. In the dream, the ghost said gratefully:
"Master, thank you. Xiao Wei has already recruited. It was he who killed me. It turns out that Xiao Wei's wife has always thought that he can't make money and that he is useless. His wife secretly has a relationship with a small boss in the village. Xiao Wei was very angry when he found out that his wife cheated because he had no money. Therefore, he wanted to get a sum of money to make his wife look at him with admiration. After reminded by her wife, he thought of the compensation. He wants to kill me, he thinks he can raise Yaya in this way, and the money will become his."

"That's right."

"Yeah! He looks so honest, who would have thought that such a person is actually a murderer! Now that Xiao Wei has been captured by the police, he will definitely be sentenced in the future. I heard from the police that he plans to find someone to adopt Yaya , I believe that Yaya will find a good family." said the female ghost.

"Ah."

"Master, thank you so much for this!" The female ghost said again: "My husband and I are really going to be reincarnated. Once we part this time, we will have to wait for the next life when we meet next time."

"Hmm." Banruo's tone remained calm.

The female ghost was still talking: "Master, I know you are going to the ghost market tonight. I passed by a prodigal's house last night, and I heard he said that he would come here today to sell an isolated copy of the Northern Song Dynasty."

"Lonely?"

"Yes, I heard it's called "The Rhyme of the Ministry of Rites"."

Banruo was taken aback when she heard the name, but she was not familiar with the book, so she immediately said, "I see, thank you."

"Master, what I want to tell you is that this prodigal son still has a lot of orphaned copies in his family. I heard from him that his father likes to collect rare copies of ancient books. Since he was in his twenties, he has been using all the money he saved. I came to buy calligraphy and painting collections, so I have a lot of good ones at home. I heard that most of them are genuine, and each copy is a rare treasure. And this prodigal son likes to gamble, and he has recently been addicted to drugs. I think, sooner or later, he will Will sell all these things! It would be a pity if he sold them all to people who don’t know the goods! Although I am a peasant woman and I don’t read much, I also know that these are rare things and shouldn’t be sold. It was destroyed just like that.” The female ghost continued: “Master, if you have money, you might as well buy all those things, and you will surely earn a lot of money.”

Banruo raised her head, stared at her, and asked, "Why do you help me like this? Is it for your daughter?"

The female ghost lowered her head, and after a long time, she cried and said: "Master, I really miss my daughter. She is only seven months old and hasn't been weaned yet. I just died like this. I feel sorry for leaving her alone in the world." She, although the police will definitely arrange her to be raised by others, but I am always worried. I am afraid that others will abuse her, fear that she will be looked down upon, and fear that others will swallow her money. In short, I must rest assured. No, I was thinking, if master can make a lot of money today, can he help me take care of my daughter, and I don't want you to help me raise her, as long as she can grow up safely."

Prajna saw that it was really not easy for her, and it was also difficult for a mother who cared about her children, so she agreed.

Hearing this, the female ghost wept with joy, kowtowed to Prajna three times before leaving.

When Banruo woke up, she felt her head was very heavy. She remembered the dream she had last night, and she knew in her heart that the female ghost must have entered her dream through some method and told her everything.

Banruo got up and took a quick wash. At this time, Huo Yubai came and knocked on her door. In the middle of the night, there were few cars on the road, and soon, she arrived at the place where the ghost market was.

It was past midnight, and the ghost market in Linshi opened.

Huo Yubai parked the car on the side, walked in with Prajna, and said: "The ghost market here is big once a month, there must be a lot of things today, if you are unsure later something, I can help you look at it."

"Okay." Banruo raised the corners of her lips and smiled.

The two of them took a look around, and this ghost market really made people's blood boil. Think about it, most antique shops put antiques on the shelves, and there are very few antiques that are actually placed on the countertop, or they are locked up. Either put it in the counter, but in the ghost market, all the antiques are spread on the ground with a layer of cloth, set up the stalls, and placed directly on the stalls.

Banruo looked at it for a while, and there really are a lot of things in this ghost market!There are woodware from the Tang Dynasty, amber from Brazil, Buddha statues from India, porcelain from Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, jadeite from Myanmar, and some calligraphy and paintings scattered around. Just waiting for customers to choose wisely.

"The ghost market tests people's eyesight the most. If ordinary people don't know how to do it, they can be easily deceived." Huo Yubai said.

Banruo knows that what he said is the truth. Most people always buy antiques with the mentality of picking up the leaks. This kind of people can easily buy fakes. After a few rounds of Hannuo, the supernatural power in her body did not have much restlessness. It can be seen that Although there are many antiques here, most of them are fake.

Fake antiques do not mean that they are worthless. Some imitations from early dynasties are themselves antiques. Therefore, although the value is not as good as the real ones, they are still worth some money.

Prajna turned around, but didn't see anything she liked, and the supernatural powers didn't react much to these things. She had some doubts whether what the female ghost Tuomeng said last night was true. Just as she was thinking, she suddenly saw I saw a man in a black jacket holding a book and was about to leave here.

"Brother." Prajna called out to stop him.

The man in the jacket turned his head, "You called me?"

"That's right, I just saw that elder brother was holding a book in his hand, is he planning to sell it?" Prajna asked.

The man in the jacket came closer, "Aren't you local?"

"No."

Hearing this, the man in the jacket seemed to be much more relaxed. He took out the book in his arms and said, "I really plan to sell a book. I asked, and people said that although this book is not worth much now, it will definitely sell in the future." price increase."

As he spoke, he took out the ancient book in his hand.

Seeing this book, Huo Yubai was stunned for a moment, and he took the ancient book carefully. ""The Rhyme of the Ministry of Rites"?"

"What? You know?" the man in the jacket asked.

"I've seen it in the book." After careful identification, Huo Yubai couldn't hide his excitement, his eyes flickered, and he nodded to Prajna.

"The Rhyme of the Ministry of Rites" is the official rhyme book of the Northern Song Dynasty. This book was prepared for the ancient imperial examinations in terms of collection and annotation of characters. It was the official rhyme used in the imperial examinations at that time, because since the Tang Dynasty, such rhyme books have It was promulgated by the Ministry of Rites in charge of examinations, so it is called "The Rhyme of the Ministry of Rites".

To put it more simply, this "Rhyme of the Ministry of Rites" is also the ancient "Xinhua Dictionary".

Although there are many versions of this book, this is not the only rhyme book left, but judging from the dynasty, the one sold by the jacket man is the earliest one in the world. It is conceivable that It is no exaggeration to call it an orphan.

"How do you plan to sell this book?" Prajna asked.

The man in the jacket thought for a while and said, "The minimum is 3000!"

"3000?"

Banruo froze for a moment, suspecting that she was hallucinating!The corners of her eyes kept twitching, she still couldn't believe it!

She thought that the other party would ask for a few million or something, and she was ready for a long-term battle with the other party. Who knew that the other party did not even leave her the right to bargain, so she sold this peerless book as a worthless book. up?

"It's too expensive? If it's too expensive, I'll sell it to someone else!"

"No!" Banruo hurriedly said, "Since you have spoken, big brother, I will definitely not say anything."

After speaking, she took out 3000 yuan and exchanged the book with the other party.

Thinking of what the female ghost said, Banruo asked again: "Brother, do you have any other books like this at home?"

"What? Are you interested?" The man in the jacket asked suspiciously.

After buying one book, I immediately want to buy the second one. No one is a fool. If it is not worth the money, how can this person buy it one after another?

Banruo explained with a smile: "That's right. I major in ancient books, and I need to check some materials for my professional thesis." Fearing that the man in the jacket wouldn't believe me, she pointed at Huo Yubai and said, "Look, this is my university professor. We just prefer ancient books, nothing else."

The man in the jacket glanced at Huo Yubai, and saw that he was holding the book in a very elegant posture. He looked refined and handsome, and he really looked like a university professor.

Only then did he relax his vigilance and said, "To tell you the truth, I still have quite a few books like this at home. I happen to need money recently. If you want, I can sell them to you."

Prajna was waiting for his words, and hurriedly said: "Then why not go to elder brother's house to have a look."

The jacket man thought that he owed so much debt, and was taken to take drugs recently, and now he can't afford ten dollars all over his body. He is really poor to death. Can't make it through.

He said: "Okay, then I will take you to my father's old house, everything is there."

When Hannya got there, she waited for the man in the jacket to open the door and led them in. She looked around the room and was shocked!
I saw calligraphy and paintings by famous masters and rare ancient books everywhere in this room.

Banruo couldn't help but want to rub her eyes, afraid that everything she saw was fake, she couldn't hide the shock in her heart, and looked at Huo Yubai, both of them saw the turbulent waves in each other's eyes, and then , the two of them kept their faces tacitly in harmony.

Prajna once heard that there is a famous person in the collection circle named Liu Yuanweihan, who loves to collect calligraphy and paintings. In 2002, a person took a painting by Fu Baoshi to BJ's auction, and it sold for 500 million at a high price. This is exciting. Liu Yuanweihan, he heard that there are many such calligraphy and paintings in this person's home, so he brought experts to the other party's home for appraisal. After this appraisal, she collected all the calligraphy and paintings that were confirmed to be authentic. It can be said that in order to collect these Calligraphy and painting, he dissipated all his wealth and almost went bankrupt.

These calligraphy and paintings include nearly 300 masterpieces by Zhang Daqian, Pan Tianshou, Huang Zhou, Qi Gong, Su Baozhen, Chen Zizhuang and others.A full 300 cards!What is this concept?Whoever gets one of these famous calligraphy and paintings in a lifetime is already amazing!Not to mention three hundred!It was this treasure hunt that established his position in the collection industry, but such a thing can only be heard as a legend, not everyone has such courage and opportunity.

However, Banruo never imagined that one day, he would encounter similar things.

She looked at the calligraphy and paintings of Zhang Daqian, Qian Weicheng, Huang Gongwang, Zhang Daqian, Qi Gong and others in this room, as well as the piles of yellowed and old ancient books beside her, and her heart was very excited!A heart is about to jump out!
It's all over the house!How much should this be!
Seeing that she was interested, the jacket man said: "My father likes to collect these things very much. He wrote and painted all his life, and all his money was used to buy these inedible calligraphy and paintings. In the end, he died. What kind of family property?" I didn’t even leave it to me, only these calligraphy and paintings are left!”

yes!He left you so much wealth!Such an expensive orphan copy was sold as cheap as paper by you!It's not enough for you to lose the family!Prajna defamation.

Prajna's ability can't detect the authenticity of calligraphy and painting, so she can't judge how many things here are real and how many are worth buying?
Huo Yubai glanced at her, and said lightly: "It's too late now, and I can't see it clearly. Why don't you just buy it and look at it when you get back."

Prajna knew what he meant in her heart, so she asked, "If I buy all these things from you, how much do you plan to pay?"

"Buy them all?" The man in the jacket asked in surprise, "So much? What are you doing with so much? Can you eat it?"

"I do it because I like it, because I myself learned calligraphy and painting, and I happened to be able to copy it when I bought it." Banruo explained.

Hearing this, the man in the jacket muttered: "Write and draw every day, what's the point!" After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "There are so many, if you buy them all, let me explain first, I don't guarantee the authenticity!" !"

Although the man in the jacket felt that those worn-out books were worthless, he still knew that some calligraphy and paintings were worth some money. Therefore, he thought for a while and said:
"If you want it all, at least give me 200 million!"

"200 million?" Banruo smiled and said, "The calligraphy and paintings here are not necessarily real. I only buy them if I like them. Otherwise, if you sell them to others, they may be worthless."

The man in the jacket was said to be a little guilty. To be honest, his father has been poor all his life, and he has not left a penny in savings. , that is to say, he suspects that all the calligraphy and paintings here are fake, maybe it was copied by his father himself, what is the value of this!
"Then how much do you think it's worth?" the man in the jacket asked.

Prajna thought for a while and said, "Up to 100 million!"

"100 million? Too low!"

Banruo glanced at his face, and then said: "Then how much do you think?"

"Minimum 180 million!"

"150 million! I can't do anything more!" Banruo felt that he usually went to the vegetable market with Jiang Yinqiu to buy vegetables, and he was used to her bargaining, which was a bit of an advantage, otherwise he would not be able to pay back the price at this moment.

The jacket man was a little hesitant when he heard this. After a while, he thought that he still had an older brother. If his elder brother found out about selling calligraphy and paintings, the two of them would still get a share of the money. Why don't they sell it earlier, and take the money and run away from home tomorrow? In this way, the money can be swallowed alone.

Thinking of this, the man in the jacket said, "Okay! But I have to pay for it and deliver it."

"can!"

In the end, Banruo bought all the calligraphy and paintings in the house at a price of 150 million.

Huo Yubai found a car from the Linshi branch of Huo's jewelry, and transported everything to the Huo family's warehouse.

Before leaving, Banruo suddenly asked the man in the jacket: "Well, I want to ask, did your father say anything to you before he passed away?"

The jacket man didn't know why she asked this. In fact, he just made 150 million, and he was happy in his heart. After hearing this, he didn't show his face, and said immediately:
"Oh, I didn't say anything special, just said that he loved calligraphy and painting all his life, and he didn't leave us any property in this life. Only this house of calligraphy and painting is our most precious treasure!"

Yes!The most precious treasure!But you sold it like this!
Prajna smiled when she heard the words, and said nothing, turned around and went to Huo's warehouse with Huo Yubai.
