The fifteenth day of being eavesdropped
"A-choo, a-choo!"
Song Jianshe sneezed in the house early in the morning.
Grandpa Sun got up and heard the noise, and looked towards the east room, "Why did Jianshe catch a cold?"
"I forgot to close the window last night, Lianhua, please go to the post office to ask for leave for me later."
Song Jianshe said to Lin Lianhua.
Lin Lianhua nodded softly, she looked at Song Chaohua, pursed her lips, and there was a hint of displeasure on her face, "You are talking nonsense about what happened yesterday, otherwise your father would not have caught a cold."
Song Chaohua's small body trembled shivering.
"Mom, I was wrong, but I didn't expect Dad to fall into the lake."
"Didn't you dream about this?" Lin Lianhua was always gentle and kind outside, but she was not happy with her daughter.
Song Chaohua was her first child. When she was pregnant, everyone said it was a boy, but who knew that it was a girl when she was born. Huang Xirong immediately left with a sullen face. During the confinement period, Lin Lianhua wanted to eat something good, but she was treated strangely.
But Lin Lianhua did not blame her mother-in-law, and was also angry at herself for not living up to her expectations, which led to her dislike for her daughter Song Chaohua since she was a child.
Song Chaohua was speechless, opened her mouth, and finally said vaguely: "I can't dream about everything."
"Okay, okay."
Song Jianshe said to Lin Lianhua, "Huahua didn't mean it, why did you scold her, Huahua, Dad doesn't blame you."
Song Chaohua was moved, her eyes were red, and she wiped her eyes: "Dad, I'm sorry for you, but I dreamed about it again recently."
"What did you dream about?"
Song Jianshe asked impatiently.
Song Chaohua sniffed and said: "I dreamed that Uncle Jinshui next door was buying some antiques, and it seemed that he made a lot of money!"
This is true.
Song Chaohua clearly remembered that in her previous life, she was watching TV at home, and the person on TV was Gu Yousi's father Gu Jinshui, who was also known as an antique collector.
The interview said that Gu Jinshui made money by collecting various antiques in his early years. Later, he made more and more money and became more and more famous.
In his previous life, her father would get angry and fight at home when he heard others praise Gu Jinshui for his ability. She hoped that her father in this life would be more capable than Gu Jinshui.
She had previously given advice to her sister-in-law, planning to send Gu Jinshui in and then follow Gu Jinshui's path in his previous life, but she never expected that in the end, it was their family that suffered the consequences.
"Antiques, how can you make money from them?"
Lin Lianhua sneered, "Jianshe, I think you should stop listening to the kid's nonsense. Besides, what can Gu Jinshui, a street kid who graduated from junior high school, know about antiques? He is really talking nonsense."
"No, I am telling the truth!"
Song Chaohua was very anxious, but he couldn't think of any way to prove himself.
Song Jianshe thought for a while and said, "It's not certain. Gu Jinshui seems to be elusive on weekdays, maybe he really knows something about antiques."
When he said this, he curled his lips, obviously disdainful in his heart.
"I have finished reading my master's book. I plan to go to Panjiayuan in the next few days to see how I have learned."
Gu Jinshui put a scarf around his neck and rubbed his palms and said.
Liang Ying was on the night shift today, and she was already up, making milk powder. Gu Yousi crawled over to Gu Jinshui on the kang, and her chubby hands grabbed Gu Jinshui's sleeves, "Ahh."
Buy more antiques!
Antiques these days are all good things. If you buy them now, you will make a lot more money when they appreciate in value in the future.
Gu Jinshui was a little worried at first, but he was happy when he heard the lady's voice. He picked up the child, threw him into the air, and then caught him.
"Ahhh" Help.
Gu Yousi's face turned pale.
"You are about to go out, why are you still teasing the child? If you scare the child, you can comfort her later."
Liang Ying patted the frivolous Gu Jinshui, took the child over and fed her, "Okay, it's getting late, hurry up and go out."
"Hey."
Gu Jinshui tapped Gu Yousi on the forehead, "Girl, wait for dad to go out and explore the market. If there is anything good, dad will sell it to you as a dowry."
Gu Yousi lowered her head to drink milk and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Gu Jinshui smiled and went out with the dog-head hat.
Shanhu and Douzi were already waiting at the entrance of the alley.
Today, Gu Jinshui took the two of them on the old route, and after selling all the scraps, he said to Douzi: "Tomorrow you should bring a trusted brother to help you, and the profit will be divided 20% to 80%, and 80% will be decided by the three of you."
Douzi was stunned.
"Brother, you don't want to do this anymore."
Gu Jinshui patted Douzi on the shoulder: "Brother, my daughter is getting older and older, so I have to make more money. I will look for other ways. If I make money, I will bring you back."
"Brother, I can do it!"
Shanhu nodded heavily, his face full of determination.
Gu Jinshui felt a little embarrassed and patted him on the shoulder, "Huzi, don't waste your money. You are not young anymore. How about asking my mom to introduce you to someone tomorrow?"
Shanhu's honest face flushed.
"Brother, I, I already have a partner."
When he said this, not only Gu Jinshui, but even Douzi was shocked.
Douzi's cigarette box even dropped to the ground with an exaggerated snap.
"You have a partner, how come I don't know?"
Shanhu rented a small single room in a large compound near Douzi's home. The two lived close to each other and walked close to each other on weekdays.
Douzi also knew where Shanhu hid his money.
This was enough to show how close the two were.
Otherwise, Douzi would not be so surprised that Shanhu had a partner without anyone knowing.
"There are so many things you don't know."
Shanhu chuckled, his hands in his pockets, "When there's a chance, I'll let my partner come meet you two."
"Okay, Huzi, you've got something."
Gu Jinshui was surprised for a moment, but was also happy for Shanhu. He patted Shanhu on the shoulder and said, "Be good to your partner, and I'll give you a big red envelope when you get married."
"Yeah!"
Shanhu touched the back of his head and agreed with a simple smile.
Gu Jinshui sent Shanhu and the other two away before going back to find his master.
When Mr. Xi saw him come in, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and was still listening to the storytelling, still listening to the Biography of Yue Fei.
"Master, I plan to go to Panjiayuan today to take a look. What do you think?"
Gu Jinshui picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water for the old man.
The old man took the water cup and asked calmly: "Have you finished reading the book?"
"After reading it once, I think what I learned from the paper is still superficial. I still have to see it in person." Gu Jinshui said with a chuckle.
The old man looked at him.
The look in his eyes was strangely complicated, as if he was a little surprised, and a little gloomy.
He knew that Gu Jinshui was smart. In the antique business, it is better to read the book a hundred or a thousand times than to actually see the real thing. Otherwise,
those powerful children are suitable for this business, because they see and use good things every day. Even if they don't learn, they can see something.
"Okay, go ahead."
Old Master Xi waved his hand, leaned back in the rattan chair, and closed his eyes.
Gu Jinshui knew what the old man meant, so he quietly withdrew and asked someone from a nearby state-owned restaurant to send a bowl of dumplings to the old man at noon.
Originally, the people from the state-owned restaurant were not willing to do this job, but they could not resist the high money offered by Gu Jinshui. They gave him one yuan at a time, which was more expensive than dumplings.
Panjiayuan is located in Chaoyang District, which is in the east of Beijing.
Gu Jinshui took the bus there, and strolled along the way after getting off the bus. It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and Panjiayuan was still very lively. There were stalls on both sides of the road, selling all kinds of plates, bowls, vases, and even tables, chairs and benches.
It was really eye-opening.
As a novice, Gu Jinshui did not plan to buy antiques today, but he looked carefully, comparing what he had learned along the way.
Needless to say, there are really a lot of good things in this market.
He saw seven or eight good things from the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties.
However, Gu Jinshui did not take any of those things seriously. The reason was simple. There were a lot of people around those good things. It seemed that there were a lot of people who knew the business. The stall owners were not stupid. Most of those who could bring out good things also knew a little bit about the business. Unless they were second-hand dealers who specialized in digging the land, it was more likely to pick up bargains at those people's stalls.
As Gu Jinshui walked, he stopped in front of a stall.
He picked up a white porcelain Guanyin statue, looked at it from left to right, and asked the stall owner, "How much is this thing?"
The stall owner was squatting on the ground. When he heard this, he raised his head and looked at Gu Jinshui. He looked him up and down and saw that although he was dressed simply, he had a plump face. He said, "Brother, you have good taste. This is a good thing. It was passed down from my ancestors."
Gu Jinshui was happy to hear this.
"Hey, who are your ancestors? A prince?"
"Hey, what prince? How can they have such a background?" The stall owner put his hands in his sleeves and raised his chin towards the Forbidden City. "Didn't they want to drive away the eunuchs in the late Qing Dynasty? Those eunuchs stole everything out of the palace, and my ancestors kept it. I heard that this Guanyin statue is from the palace of Concubine Zhen."
Concubine Zhen.
Gu Jinshui couldn't help laughing.
The workmanship of this Guanyin statue was crude, especially the eyebrows and eyes.
Eyebrows and eyes are just details, but the most important thing for statues like Guanyin is these details. This Guanyin statue has misaligned eyebrows and eyes, and there is even a crack on the left eyebrow. Although it is so small that only experts like Gu Jinshui can see it without careful observation, it is obvious that such things cannot be used for things in the palace.
This thing is at most from the Republic of China.
"Wow, such a history, it's really amazing."
Gu Jinshui was amazed, "What's the price?"
The stall owner immediately became excited. He has been in Panjiayuan for three days. If he doesn't open the stall, he will not be able to eat. "Fifty!"
Fifty?
Gu Jinshui looked at the stall owner, put down the things, turned around and left.
Fifty to buy this thing, do you think he is stupid.
