Chapter 119 Big Leak

 The middle-aged man was alert and quick. He was the first to open his bag and send it over.

Ning Weimin took a look and realized that what this man brought was indeed very good.

Yongle official kiln jade pot and spring vase, with sweet white glaze, quiet and elegant white, with dark pomegranate pattern.

Moreover, it neither "collapsed" nor "flushed", and the items are in pretty good condition.

The key inscriptions are also correct, the single coil and the four-character inscription "Yongle Year System" are all in seal script.

It is not just the six-character inscription "Yongle Year of the Ming Dynasty" that is only recorded in writing but has never been found in kind.

It was basically consistent with what he knew.

So he guessed that it was something left by the old man in the family. The descendants didn't know how to do it, so they thought of using it to pay back some money.

Why can Ning Weimin still make such a conclusion?

The main reason is that the performance of the middle-aged people is so reassuring.

As for this one, the impatient lion opened his mouth and asked for two hundred and five.

And no counter-offers are allowed. This person said that last time he came here, he sold a bottle from the Ming Dynasty for this amount.

Then, to everyone's surprise, he actually took out a receipt from Cuizhen Pavilion and showed it to Ning Weimin as evidence.

Unfortunately, when Ning Weimin saw this receipt, he almost lost his temper.

For no other reason than because what was written on the receipt was, "Tomorrow we will open a red-glazed peony plum vase with entangled branches, and the purchase price is two hundred and fifty yuan."

Looking at this person's behavior, it is obvious that he is a big stick and is really worthy of this stupid number.

He didn't know that Yongle was two hundred years earlier than Tianqi.

Moreover, the sweet white glaze is a very representative porcelain treasure from Yongle, so how can it have the same value?

If the Yongle jade pot and spring vase can be auctioned for 20 million in the future, the Tianqi plum vase will only be 2 million.

Even if I send it to the store now.

The Yongle porcelain should be at least 200 yuan higher than the Tianqi porcelain, otherwise the store would be deliberately blackmailing him.

If this thing were a pair, it would be more valuable than the set of Yongzheng pastel gourd bottles he collected after his first victory in the ghost market.

So Ning Weimin didn't understand this person at all, so he didn't waste any time and just stabbed him in the neck and killed him brutally.

Even though the middle-aged man said he wouldn't allow the price to be set, Ning Weimin still set a price.

Although it is symbolic, it is also necessary to make the seller happy.

Ning Weimin's excuse was that the plum vase sold by the middle-aged man had a nice color and pattern.

How can this white bottle be compared? It’s so plain that it’s even silly.

Besides, two hundred and fifty doesn't sound good, so it has to be cheaper.

As a result, this middle-aged man was tricked, and he curled his lips and seemed to think it was reasonable.

Just like that, after a minute or two of negotiation, the middle-aged man agreed to sell Ning Weimin the bottle and bag for 245 yuan.

Perhaps it's because Ning Weimin didn't set the price too harshly.

The middle-aged man thought he was very interesting and even took the initiative to leave his address.

He said that he had several other things at home, and he made an appointment for Ning Weimin to take the money to his house this weekend to have a look.

That meant that if the price was right, he would be too lazy to come to the cultural relics store again.

It would be better to transfer all the remaining money at home to Ning Weimin.

Seeing his happy and relaxed look, Ning Weimin instantly felt pity for his ancestor.

The wealth that we have saved together all our lives is now cheap to outsiders.

What does it mean to be an unworthy child? What does it mean to betray one's eldest son and not feel sorry for him? This is it!

The middle-aged man just left.

But the smooth conclusion of this transaction has obviously given greater confidence to the mother and son in the countryside.

Seeing the big bundles being put into the pockets of the middle-aged people, the hearts of mother and son were also burned hot.

So they both quickly unpacked the baggage and presented the bronze Buddha statue to Ning Weimin.

This thing is so remarkable, it makes Ning Weimin drool even more than the Yongle bottle.

Inside Qingqing is a fifty centimeter-long gold and bronze statue of Sakyamuni Buddha.

Although the gilding has faded in many places and the patina has turned green, the shape is extremely gorgeous.

To the left and right of the Buddha, not only were there bhikkhunis standing with him, but the backlight of the Buddha statue was also extremely large.

It is engraved with flame patterns and round heads, and there are eight flying immortals on the edges.

There is a four-legged stool base under the Buddha's seat and is connected to two Bodhisattva statues.

With so many characters, this is an extremely rare group sculpture.

In addition, the appearance characteristics of the Buddha and Bodhisattva are also unusual.

They all wear shoulder-length coats, and their facial features and buns are all Han Chinese.

This is completely consistent with the characteristics of Buddhism gradually transforming into the Han style during the Southern and Northern Dynasties for the convenience of preaching.

When Ning Weimin saw this, he couldn't bear it any longer. His heart was filled with jealousy and he turned over the gold and bronze Buddha statue with a little trembling hand.

The obvious inscription found at the back really proved his judgment.

What is engraved on it is, "In the second year of the Ming Dynasty, on the tenth day of the seventh month of Wuwu, my disciple Wei Kongjing made a statue in the area. I hope that my deceased parents, sisters-in-law, and brothers will meet all the Buddhas and always gather with the Three Jewels."

In the second year of the Ming Dynasty, this was the reign name of Liu Zhun, Emperor Shun of the Southern Song Dynasty, which was 478 AD.

Seeing this, he only had one thought at this moment, a thousand years of sight.

This thing alone can be defined as a national treasure, because Buddhist statues from the Southern Dynasties are rare, let alone such exquisite ones.

In terms of value, it may not be much worse than the bronze he donated.

If it were put up for auction after 2010, the value would definitely be calculated in tens of millions of euros or US dollars.

Needless to say, I will not let go of the wrong ones, so I must keep this treasure worth over 100 million in my pocket.

And then when he asked for a price, Ning Weimin almost couldn't hold back his excitement and jumped up with joy.

Because the other party is really too simple.

As a mother, I was too embarrassed to say the number of money. I kept my mouth open and babbled for a long time without even being able to tell the number.

The young man, on the other hand, was very hesitant and immediately revealed his trump card in a hurry.

"Do you think we can change to a bicycle? We just want to change to a bicycle."

Is there anything else that doesn’t work?

After calculating the time limit, Ning Weimin and the mother and son did not bother to play tactful, and readily agreed on the spot.

Then he quickly hailed a flatbed tricycle.

He took his belongings, took a trolley with the mother and son, and rushed to the department store.

There was no nonsense when entering. Ning Weimin let the young man make his own choice.

Finally, before the store closed, I quickly spent money to buy the young man a Flying Pigeon 28 full chain set, in exchange for this priceless gold and bronze Buddha statue.

After completing the transaction, Ning Weimin still felt a little unbearable as he sat on his tricycle heading home.

Because after careful consideration, he only spent one hundred and sixty-eight yuan, including the bicycle tickets "caught" at the door.

The price/performance ratio is too high, and it seems a little too dark.

He regretted not giving the mother and son five more yuan to buy something to eat on the way.

If that were the case, maybe he would feel more relaxed.

But how did he know? This matter was really consensual.

In fact, the mother and son were not dissatisfied or dissatisfied at all.

The young man pedaled back feeling more energetic.

He felt that now that he had a bicycle, it would be very convenient to sell eggs in the town.

Then people in the village will definitely see themselves differently from now on.

If I meet the village secretary's daughter Xiaoling again on the road, I might be honored to give her a ride.

It’s beautiful to be a mother sitting in the back of the car. First, I’m glad I saved money on the ticket to go back today.

Er Ye was surprised to find that his son was so old that he could ride with his mother on a bicycle.

This day goes by really fast.

When I think about the old things again, I feel even more emotional.

In her memory, except for the sedan chair she took on the day of her wedding, she had never taken any decent form of transportation in her life.

Occasionally, when I go to the street or go back to my parents' house, I always walk, and there are few opportunities to ride in a handlebar carriage.

If the gable of her home hadn't collapsed and the gold and bronze Buddha statue was exposed from inside, how would she have been lucky enough to sit on her son's bicycle?

This can only be said to be a gift from God’s mercy.

In short, from then on, Ning Weimin had a new place to go.

As long as the weather is not too bad, we can go there almost every day from 4:30 to 5:00.

They all come to Liulichang by bicycle and wander around in front of these cultural relic shops.

Just to see if anyone was turned away.

So that you can donate generously and help others.

Needless to say, this is the difference between Ning Weimin and the farmer who just waits and waits.

He rarely fails, and almost always gets what he wants and performs "good deeds".
