Looking at their serious expressions, Gu Shengsheng was also stunned.
Then he smiled and said, "I know."
"When I came here to look at the land deeds before, I saw the cemetery on that hill."
"The living are more cunning than the dead. Living here is quite peaceful, isn't it?"
Gu Shengsheng was not afraid of this, and neither were Mrs. Lu and Lu Linlin. They felt that it was quiet and peaceful here because no one would disturb them!
Moreover, Mrs. Lu asked someone to calculate it and was told that the feng shui of this area was good and it would not conflict with those grave sites.
The douzhi shop owner was puzzled: "Girl, this is a place no one dares to approach. You come here and spend a lot of money to build a house. Will your family agree?"
"What if they don't want to come and live here?"
Gu Shengsheng smiled and said, "We've discussed it, it's okay."
"My grandma also said that this is a cemetery. When I die, I'll be buried there. It's not far away."
"I think the one who's close to the water gets the moon first. By the way, you can also find a good pit to occupy. Otherwise, you won't be able to afford a pit when you die."
The douzhi shop owner and the girl from the Land Bureau looked at each other in bewilderment.
I want to persuade but I don't know from what standpoint.
“…” Mainly because I think there is nothing wrong with what Miss Gu said.
It is indeed very convenient after death.
However, the douzhi shop owner sighed and said, "Well, this place was a cemetery many years ago. I guess it's not a good place to live."
"But I think you, little girl, are quite strange. It's good to have a double negative, and your life will only get better as time goes by."
Most people can't say anything about this kind of thing. It depends on the person's fate.
The girl from the Land Bureau scratched her head and said, "This is the first time I've heard of 'near the water, the first to get the moon' being used this way. I don't know how to say this anymore."
Then she said, "If you're really sure about it, Miss Gu, we can sell you the remaining wasteland around here. There's also an abandoned villa. The construction team said they wanted to renovate it, but then nothing happened."
Gu Shengsheng looked at the abandoned villa over there and saw several workers wearing safety helmets.
I asked curiously, "If it's all gone, then the construction team has no money left, so why are there still a few workers working?"
The girl at the Land Bureau didn't know either.
The douzhi shop owner spread his hands and said, "Nothing much! I guess they're just looking for some scrap to sell. I saw them selling cables and copper wire just down the street from our shop. They make some pocket money."
"I guess there are some scattered things, but I didn't pay attention to them."
In this way, Gu Shengsheng had a general idea of the situation.
She was not a nosy person, so she signed the contract with the girl from the Land Bureau without asking too many questions.
Because they had already prepared for Gu Shengsheng's business, the staff came with the contract and various paperwork. All they had to do was go get the property ownership certificate tomorrow.
Gu Shengsheng did not hesitate, did what he said, and did not regret it, so the procedures were completed very quickly.
After she was almost done, she planned to walk around by herself and think about how to design these vacant spaces.
Her first wish is to own her own house, and her second wish is that every corner is the way she likes.
Gu Shengsheng strolled for a long time and felt a little tired, so she planned to go to the market to buy some snacks.
Coincidentally, I saw the two workers who had just been groping in the abandoned villa, also setting up stalls.
It was just around six or seven in the evening when the urban management officers got off work, and they started setting up stalls.
Gu Shengsheng looked at what was placed on his small table. It was not just copper wire but also some scrap copper and iron.
Even things that seem old-fashioned.
Gu Shengsheng looked at the arranged copper coins and some messy bracelets, and couldn't make out what they looked like.
She asked curiously, "Did you pick this up from the abandoned villa?"
"...Ah, yes." They stammered, not sure if they were afraid to speak or if there was something wrong.
Gu Shengsheng held the copper coins in his palm and weighed them.
A large bunch of them, all washed with water.
Before she could say anything, the uncle at the stall next to her said, "Little girl, don't take their things. What are you going to do with the washed coins?"
"Come and look at what I have here. I have some good stuff here. The patina is still on it. You can tell it's old."
Gu Shengsheng took a look and smiled. "This copper coin is from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Ten yuan is too little, and twenty yuan is too much. It's not uncommon to find real and fake coins."
The two workers obviously rarely set up shop. After hearing what Gu Shengsheng said, they immediately said, "We thought...we thought the coins were dirty from touching them. So we washed them with water."
“I didn’t expect that these cultural relics couldn’t be cleaned casually.”
Gu Shengsheng nodded. "As the saying goes, the older the coin gets, the more blessings and fortune it gathers. Of course, there's also some negative energy that could indicate bad luck."
"So whether it's a blessing or a curse depends on fate. If you can buy it, it's fate. If you can't buy it, it's also fate."
As she explained this, she looked at the copper coin in her hand.
Although it looked quite worn and there were no patterns around it, it looked a bit like a coin from the Ming and Qing dynasties at first glance, so the bosses around didn't notice anything unusual.
What Gu Shengsheng found strange was the words on it.
That character... looks like a character from the Chu State. If it really is from the Chu State, then it would be interesting.
The two workers in hard hats exchanged a glance. Seeing Gu Shengsheng's interest, they handed her another one. "This is the one we haven't touched. How about you use this to look at it?"
"We cleaned those two with a brush."
Gu Shengsheng sighed. As expected, the cultural relics were too rough and many features had been removed.
She was somewhat shocked when she saw this newly unearthed copper coin. The larger one had the words "旆钱当釿" (Flag of Coins) on the front and "十货" (Ten Goods) on the back.
Maybe it's because it's been buried underground for a long time.
This results in a patina all over the body.
Gu Shengsheng asked directly: "How much do you sell this for?"
"I'll sell all three to you for 100 yuan?" one of them tried to say.
Gu Shengsheng didn't bargain and just went straight to the deal.
Then the worker added Gu Shengsheng’s contact information and said he would contact her again when he dug up something good in the future.
She readily agreed.
As I walked forward with the three coins, the shopkeeper said sarcastically, "You must have made a loss on this!"
"Even if it's a real Qing Dynasty coin, it's only worth a dozen yuan. You're a rich woman if you buy three for a hundred yuan!"
Gu Shengsheng listened to these sarcastic words and said with a smile: "She is really a rich woman."
“…”
Leaving behind the nagging of the stall owners around the workers, Gu Shengsheng began to think carefully. If copper coins could really be dug up in that place, did it mean that there was an ancient tomb there? (End of this chapter)
