Although Chen Xuezhi was not born and raised in Yanjing, he has lived in this international metropolis for nearly 20 years since he took office in the Forbidden City in the capital, so he can be considered half a native of the capital.

Mr. Chen is also the vice president of the Chinese Collectors Association. His biggest hobby on weekdays is visiting the antique and flea markets in Yanjing, Panjiayuan, Liulichang, and the Baoguo Temple that has quietly emerged in the past two years. These old goods

The distribution center is a place where old men hang out with nothing to do.

It just so happens that today is Saturday, the day when the Panjiayuan Ghost Market opens. As an antique scholar and senior collector in the circle, Chen Xuezhi certainly knows the principle of "good goods come out of the ghost market". So today, as usual, he is alone

I woke up early, had my morning tea, and leisurely took the subway to the Panjiayuan Flea Market.

Since Mr. Chen came relatively late, of course he didn't meet Fang Feiyang and Su Yazhi when the market opened. But Mr. Chen is well-known in the Yanjing circle, and he would meet many acquaintances or old friends every time he went to the market.

The two middle-aged men standing next to Chen Xuezhi at this time are also members of the Chinese Collectors Association, and are also important members of the association's board of directors. These two people and Chen Xuezhi are also old friends. They have a good relationship in private and often get together.

Drink tea and chat.

As a junior, Fang Feiyang hurried forward to greet him. He first bowed and saluted Chen Xuezhi, and then said hello to the two middle-aged men beside Mr. Chen with a smile.

Su Yazhi next to her was holding the rusty "fire stick" in her hand, and was thinking about what kind of winnings she would bet on with her boyfriend, so that Fang Feiyang would feel distressed if he lost. Suddenly she heard someone calling Fang Feiyang in the flea market.

The name also seemed strange. When I looked for the name, I saw that it was Mr. Chen.

Of course, Su Yazhi also knew this old man who was of the same generation as her grandfather Song Longshan, and bowed respectfully to Mr. Chen, "Grandpa Chen, hello, what a coincidence, you also come to visit the 'Ghost Market'?" "Hey,

Su Yatou is here too, what a coincidence. When did you come to the capital?"

Su Yazhi smiled sweetly: "We just arrived yesterday and haven't had time to visit you at Grandpa Chen's house. We were worried about not knowing what decent gifts to bring if we went to visit Grandpa Chen, so we thought about what we could buy in this 'ghost market'

If you are lucky enough to pick up any exquisite treasures, it will not be disrespectful to bring them to your home if you borrow flowers to offer to Buddha..."

"Hahaha... You girl has such a dexterous mouth, you really know how to talk." Chen Xuezhi laughed heartily, looking at Su Yazhi and Fang Feiyang with kind eyes, and then asked: "Then you came here early in the morning, what do you think?

What’s the gain?”

"It's not early in the morning. We went out at around three in the morning."

"Hey, you got up early enough!" Chen Xuezhi said with a smile on his face, "I stared at the stars and the moon and rushed so early. Did I find something good? Is it this ancient sword in my hand? Come on, old man, can you?

Would you like to take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yazhi reached out and handed the short or medium ancient sword in the artificial leather scabbard to Chen Xuezhi.

At this time, the middle-aged man standing behind Mr. Chen did not speak, but his eyes were staring at the rusty old sword intentionally or unintentionally. His pupils shrank slightly inadvertently, and his eyes flashed suddenly.

There was a ray of surprise.

"Wait a minute, President Chen, can you let me take a look first?"

The middle-aged man caught him by surprise, quickly stretched out his hands to "intercept" from the middle, and looked at Chen Xuezhi with a longing look on his face.

Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment, then relieved, and said: "Oh, I almost forgot. Among the few of us, you are the authority in the field of swords. It is most appropriate for you to see this thing."

With that said, Mr. Chen retracted his hands and motioned Su Yazhi to hand the ancient sword to the man next to him.

Fang Feiyang's five senses and six senses are now very sharp. It can be said that he can capture the micro-expressions of people within five meters of him at the first time. The eyes of the middle-aged man next to Mr. Chen just now flashed surprise inadvertently.

His expression immediately showed a trace of shock. Although the time was very short and he tried his best to hide it afterwards, Fang Feiyang was still aware of this unusual behavior.

"Huh? Does this person know the origin of this ancient sword? Just now, Mr. Chen said that he is an authority in the field of swords. I think this person has probably seen some clues..."

Fang Feiyang pondered secretly.

Sure enough, the gentleman carefully inspected the two-foot-two-inch sword, and then took out the magnifying glass he carried with him to compare the sword's hilt bit by bit. His eyes once again showed excitement.

"This lady, my name is Gu Mingquan, is a friend of President Chen. I would like to ask you how much you paid for this iron sword?"

Su Yazhi glanced at Fang Feiyang and couldn't understand why the gentleman named Gu asked such a question.

Fang Feiyang said nothing and nodded towards his girlfriend, indicating that he could inform her.

So Su Yazhi politely replied: "It didn't cost much. It only cost five hundred and twenty yuan including the scabbard."

When Gu Mingquan heard the price, the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily, he sighed softly, and seemed to be talking to himself: "What a leak..."

Then, Gu Mingquan lowered his head and said nothing, pondered for a moment, seemed to have made up his mind, and said loudly: "Miss, I personally like this iron sword of yours very much, can you not transfer it to me? I am willing to pay 10,000 yuan.

What do you think of the price?”

As Gu Mingquan spoke, he kept stroking the rusty ancient sword of medium length in his hand.

At this moment, Mr. Chen was a little surprised when he saw the sudden changes on the field. However, he did not speak and looked at Gu Mingquan meaningfully, as if he understood something.

"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry... I can't decide whether this thing can be resold, haha... because this sword belongs to my boyfriend Fang Feiyang. If he is willing, I have no objection."

"Oh?..." Gu Mingquan then turned to look at Fang Feiyang and said, "So the real master is here. I wonder if this brother is willing to give up his love. I am very sincere."

Fang Feiyang seemed casual, but in fact he had been secretly focusing on Gu Mingquan's facial expression. At this time, he was completely sure that Mr. Gu knew the origin of this ancient sword. Our boss Fang is not short of 10,000 yuan in living expenses.

For him, it is more meaningful to know the origin and inheritance of this ancient object. What's more, is the real value of this two-foot-two-inch ancient sword only worth 10,000 yuan?

Fang Feiyang doesn't think so.

"Mr. Gu is so polite. Although I bought this thing for five hundred yuan, I personally like it better. I plan to take it back to polish off the rust and see what I can find."

Fang Feiyang chuckled and shook his head.

Gu Mingquan's face changed slightly, and he said anxiously: "Don't, the rust on the ancient sword cannot be polished casually. If there is no correct treatment method, it will destroy the structure of the sword itself."

Mr. Gu immediately became very nervous when he heard Fang Feiyang's casual tone, and said loudly: "Okay, brother, I am willing to pay 50,000 yuan to buy the sword in your hand. You

Can you think about it again?"

From 500 to 10,000, the price increased to 50,000 like somersault. Although Su Yazhi didn't know how to collect swords, she could tell that her boyfriend had missed something again this time. A few minutes ago, they were laughing and making a bet, discussing who would lose and who would win.
