I remember that.

When Lu Cenyin was looking for me in the rental house.

She once told me that the betting stand was set up by her son Uncle Wang to do tricks, and she just went to play that day.

This statement is obvious.

At that time, the Scarface Uncle Wang's gambling stall was fake, but the treasure was real.

I asked, "What treasure?"

Fatty Xiao said: "The gilt doll of Xixia Temple!"

I frowned and said, "Something in the temple?"

Fatty Xiao replied: "So it was, but now it's not."

Only after Fatty Xiao explained it did I know the reason.

Jinling has had the custom of tying dolls since ancient times.

Married men and women, if they have been unable to conceive a child, they will think that they are not destined to have a child in this life.

At this time, the couple will choose a good day, take a bath and change clothes, and burn incense in the temple.

Under the altar of the temple, there will be dolls donated by others, made of clay, copper, wood, gold...

After the couple burned the first incense, they donated a sum of merit money to the temple, and began to take the red rope to cover the doll under the altar.

The doll was quilted home and placed on the husband and wife's bedside, implying that the doll would be reborn in the wife's womb after a while.

After the child is born, hang the doll on the child's chest to bless the child's healthy growth.

Xixia Temple is a thousand-year-old temple.

Royal aristocrats, wealthy merchants, and ordinary people, many people will donate dolls to temples to do good deeds and accumulate merit.

Many couples seeking children will go to Xixia Temple to tie their dolls.

Eight years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Hu of the Dingyuan family couldn't have children after marriage, so they asked a master to ask why.

The master told them to tie a doll back.

President Hu and his wife went to Xixia Temple to tie one.

The doll is covered with incense and dirt.

Please go home and clean it up, it turned out to be a gilt doll, the whole body is pure gold, and the year belongs to Ming Dynasty.

The golden baby of the Ming Dynasty was very valuable in itself.

The key is.

The base of this golden baby is also engraved with the words "Donated by Tianfu".

Yingtianfu was the residence of Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Di in Jinling when he proclaimed himself emperor (later Zhu Di moved the capital).

I don't know why this golden baby was placed under the altar of the Buddha statue, but it has not been chained away for eight or nine hundred years.

At that time, this matter was passed down as a good story by the Jinling antique circle.

Fatty Xiao said: "Mr. Hu of the Dingyuan family is rich and powerful in Jinling. After he was tied to Jinwa, his wife gave birth to a big fat boy. Everyone called this child Buddha's bestowed baby. This was a great thing. It's a pity that this Buddha bestowed baby is stupid, and her mind is a little abnormal."

"But President Hu and his wife had a son in their middle age, and they loved him very much. They regarded him as a treasure in their hands, and hung the gold-plated doll around his silly son's neck so that he could give birth to him. Recently, the silly son had a serious physical problem and was lethargic. Sleepwalking. Once, he almost jumped from the third floor of the villa. Another time, he sleepwalked and cut himself in the neck with a kitchen knife!"

"Boss Hu and his wife were terrified, and went to ask the master who asked them to tie the doll back then. The master said, the child is nine years old, and the nine lines of fortune must be sent away. Create karma for those who are destined, otherwise the child's life will not be saved."

"Free?" I asked.

Fatty Xiao said: "At first, it was planned to be free! But the master said that it can't be free, and it can't be sold, otherwise there will be no karma, and you have to exchange things. Moreover, the stupid son is required to choose the replacement. President Hu and his wife are very fond of this master. Trust, so, he plans to set up a quack yard tomorrow to see who is destined to replace the gilded doll."

The rivers and lakes are a way of communication among antique dealers.

The antique business is mainly divided into several major items: ceramics, calligraphy and painting, jade, and miscellaneous items.

The first three items are easy to understand, and the miscellaneous items are relatively fragmented, such as bamboo, embroidery, copper, Buddha statues, teeth, horns, lacquerware...

Any antique lover will usually only be immersed in one of the major items.

But for example, a person who specializes in calligraphy and painting receives a piece of lacquerware. He doesn’t like it, and he doesn’t like it very much. He wants to exchange it for his favorite calligraphy and painting, what should he do?

This leads to the existence of the Jianghu channeling yard.

Different collectors take out things that do not belong to their own categories, come to the stock market, and exchange their favorite objects.

The reason why it is called the Jianghu Warehouse is because this kind of transaction is all in accordance with the old Jianghu rules of the antique business, which will be explained later.

Gilt dolls cannot be given away for free or sold.

Mr. Hu of Dingyuan is very clever in adopting the trading method of "scavenging goods in the rivers and lakes".

Fatty Xiao said: "This barter is out of the question! Maybe, if we take a small thing over there, the landlord's stupid son Wang Ba has a crush on mung beans? The market price of gold-plated dolls is worth mentioning now." More than 300 million, if the replacement is successful, we will completely turn around!"

I thought for a while and asked, "Although gilt dolls are precious, there are countless antiques in Lu's big and small Huadan shops. How could you focus on this thing?"

Fatty Xiao said: "I don't know! They don't always act according to routines, but they have been watching for a long time. Maybe there is some purpose behind it! Let's leave them alone... Su Zi, this is a leak, let's hit it!" By luck?"

I asked, "What did you say about Mr. Hu's son?"

Fatty Xiao took a sip of wine: "Poor health, drowsiness. When I fall asleep, I still have nightmares, sleepwalking and looking for death!"

originally.

Hearing that the big and small Huadans of the Lu family are staring at the gilded doll, if you make the right choice, you should avoid the sharp edge for now.

But Mr. Hu's son wants to give away treasures because of his nightmare.

My heart moved.

Xu Qing has a Yuanboqi bird card that swallows nightmares!

I asked Fatty Xiao, "Are there any tickets for the stock market?"

Fatty Xiao said with a smile: "What a coincidence! The teahouse where the Jianghu Warehouse is held happens to be in my brother's jurisdiction, and there are admission tickets. It's just that we don't have any good things to trade in."

I am stimulated.

This is unrefined treatment!

Whether it's breaking into the underworld or entering the rivers and lakes, it all depends on others to vote.

Antiques are the circle of money, the circle of status, and the circle of power!

Without these things, it is like Mr. Zhu Ziqing's famous saying in "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond", "The excitement is theirs, and I have nothing."

I said: "In the future, this kind of ticket must be earned by yourself!"

Fatty Xiao was taken aback when he heard the words, and replied, "Understood!"

I rarely drink alcohol.

In Lu Cenyin's office just now, I didn't drink a single drop.

But at the moment.

But I drank a full glass of wine and put the glass heavily on the table: "Breaking!"

After parting from Fatty Xiao, I went directly to the hospital.

When I arrived at Xu Qing's ward, no one was there.

The nurse told me that her ward had been changed to a single room.

Transfer to the single ward, where there are several bouquets of flowers, several fruit baskets, and a special nurse.

Xu Qing was half lying on the bed, his face full of astonishment.

After I go in.

When Xu Qing saw it, she hurriedly asked the nurse to go out first, and told her to close the door.

"Brother Su, what did you do?" Xu Qing asked in confusion.

I:"……"

Xu Qing said: "Hu San is the adopted son of Hong Kong! This morning, the little bastard came to me with injuries all over his body, crying bitterly, and even knelt in front of me begging for my forgiveness. I told him to fuck up and die... I don’t know who sent the things, the ward was changed, and a nurse was hired. Except for you, I really can’t think of anyone else who has such a great ability!”

Wang Datou is quite agile in his work.

Not only did he deal with Hu San fiercely, but he also flattered me by the way.

very loud.

I said, "Sister Xu..."

Xu Qing immediately interrupted, frowning, and said anxiously: "Nong Fa wants to call me sister! You are just my tenant, and I am still a lady! You can't be so nice to me! Although you are very capable, But today I have to say an ugly rivet. As I said, I never owe anyone!"

I:"……"

Seeing that I was silenced by her slapping me, Xu Qing probably felt that what she said just now was harsh, so she changed her tone and said softly, "You... sit down."

There was no stool in the ward, so I had to sit by the bed.

Xu Qing's eyes were a little red, and Qing Qing's tears dripped down.

Afterwards, she wiped her face, and took my hand actively: "Sister has a straightforward personality, and she may speak harshly. But really, I never thought that someone would treat me so well..."

I was a little embarrassed by her holding my hand, and I didn't know what to say.

Xu Qing sobbed for a while, seeing my embarrassment, suddenly broke into a smile, and instead pulled me closer to her.

She looked at me carefully, and asked in a low voice with a little shyness: "Tell me the truth, is Nong's body?"
