Zhang Fan wandered aimlessly among the crowds on Taobao, looking around at the stalls coming here to run to the docks.

"Rubbish!"……

"Rubbish!"……

"It's still trash!"...

"The exchange meeting is getting worse every year!" Zhang Fan muttered: "It's all broken bowls and plates that have no place to put."

"Oh, Xiao Zhang, it's so early, are you looking for something? Haha."

"Are early, haha, kidding, can you still be shopping for treasures at exchange meetings these days? Just some garbage. Are you always shopping? Take a look in your bag."

"A piece of green jade, not old, haha."

"Good, Qianlong's imitation of the Republic of China! Or are you good at Lao Meng, your eyes are like a scanner, how much money is?"

"Haha, five dollars, it's a bit of a small loss, it's not considered a leak." The fat old man named Lao Meng slapped. On the market, he took 100 yuan as one yuan, and ten yuan as one cent. If you buy something that's worth it, you'll find a bargain.

"The Hanqing glaze jar you bought last Saturday is good, and the pattern is refreshing. I have a friend who specializes in celadon, so I asked me to find it. Is your jar coming out?"

"Hey, where? It's good to be able to reach the Eastern Jin Dynasty. I just took a look at the words under the can. It's quite rare to have words. I haven't figured out what it means yet, let's talk about it, haha."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Then I'll go to see the stalls in front of me." Lao Meng nodded.

"Please come back." Zhang Fan bowed and gave in and passed by Lao Meng.

Continue to move forward slowly, squat down from time to time to pick up an object, then shake your head and put it down and leave.

Zhang Fan was originally the attending doctor of a hospital in this city. He graduated from an old Chinese medicine college next door five years ago. He returned to his original residence and was introduced to a Grade A hospital. With his professional skills and a little down-to-earth, he got the exam. However, his good luck seemed to be over, because Zhang Fan believed in Buddhism on weekdays, often ate vegetarianism, and regarded himself as a good person, and never wanted to charge rebates from medicine.

At first, this guy's new face was peaceful with his kind temperament to be kind to others. But over time, how could he know that people are kind and jealous? You should know that the kickbacks given by medical representatives are all indicators, such as the number of departments in a second-level hospital and the number of departments in a tertiary hospital. If you don't accept them, someone will accept them for you. Besides, if you take them all, you will not take them for you. Instead, you will be criticized by others. As a result, after a long time, I knew that this kid had no background in this hospital, so he was excluded. Naturally, the big hat, small shoes, and the dark nails came over as harmoniously as the spring breeze. As a result, the good man turned into a bad man, and the evil man was angry and resigned.

Since he was harmonious in the hospital, he relied on a hobby he cultivated in his youth - collection and often came and went to the antique market. Zhang Fan was also at ease. He got coins since he was a child, and his family was in the jade gem business. He first learned jade identification with others. He also met several museum staff of the same age in the archaeology department of the same age and practiced the identification knowledge of porcelain, ancient jade, bronze miscellaneous items, etc. Although he was not very complicated, he did not do expert archaeology, but went to the market to search for Taobao. He had a lot of experience in learning cultural relics in the collection. He was much more optimistic than ordinary sellers in the antique market. However, he was not allowed to get started with calligraphy, painting, paper and paper. He wanted to practice calligraphy when he was young, but he had no talent for this and could only stay in the appreciation stage. He was quite regretful.

Therefore, with these experiences, Zhang Fan set up a shop in the antique city of this city and started an antique business. This kid's fortune is not prosperous every year, and collecting and doing business are definitely different things. If you want to have a unique vision, you have a few collections in your hands, but you obviously lack the time. Where is this collection market? It is a market place where all kinds of religions and all kinds of people are mixed! If you can't even get along in that corner of the hospital, you still think about how to get into the big dye vat of the world? Why is a kind person who is a good man who often runs to the old world of docks everywhere?

Not long after, a few old customers who worked hard to train were poached. Zhang Fan still didn't understand why those rich people saw that they wanted old people in the house, but went to buy new things from the old world? Little did he know that Xiao Zhang was already a novice who didn't know anything in the circle of rich people who often visited the market.

Speaking of this, some readers ask, is Xiao Zhang really a "onion"? Haha! Of course not. This guy doesn't have much social experience, but he doesn't have any learning ability. The way he takes is right. When he sees porcelain pieces in the room, he knows he is an expert. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are many specimens in ancient kilns. Jade is even more powerful. Although there are not many rare things that are amazing, there are a few fine products made in the Su Dynasty and Qing dynasties, and there are also many ordinary products in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. No matter which market in the country, it is considered a dignified old product, and there are also a store with goods. It is said that the business is good? But this guy has also offended people in the hospital - different people are not involved in the conspiracy! That's not the best, the antique market refers to buying fakes and selling fakes and living, and buying real products is not the antique supermarket. Do you still use people with good eyes to Taobao?

If you sell real goods, you must be a real thing?! Who said that I have been so big for so many years. This Spring and Autumn Umph Fat Jade Pendant is still fake. A national-level expert has recognized it! It only sold you 58,000 yuan. This thing is sold for at least one million yuan, and it is expensive! Go to Xiao Zhang’s store to see how many broken things cost?! It’s unreasonable. There are too few experts in this world who know goods. Like Xiao Zhang, picking up a few broken things at a stall that can fool people. No one recognizes us, who are specializing in the homes of wealthy people in Beijing, who are hard-working!

Only a few folk experts who are really old-fashioned in antique shops have more interactions with Xiao Zhang. But which of these old guys is not a mature person. Can those who are really eye-catching still make money? Those who are rich and have no eyes have long made the old people dizzy. Nowadays, real people still have to sell them! It’s only been more than a year since the store opened a little hard to sustain.

Let’s talk about Xiao Zhang again. He stopped in front of a stall all the way. The stall owner is also an old face. He is from S City and often goes to the countryside to shovel the land. He pours some goods in his hand, especially old gold and silverware, and some old miscellaneous items from the Republic of China.

Zhang Fan squatted down and noticed a jewelry box with mother-of-pearl embedded in lacquerware. The patterns were a bit exquisite, but there were a little bit of broken bones on the two corners, which was a pity.

Because the stall was located near the corner, there were not many people around it, but they were all experts, and two of them looked at it. They only felt that it was a bit broken and the price was not very comfortable. Zhang Fan flipped a few pieces of old silverware and took a pair of gilded phoenix hairpins to play with it. After the few put down the jewelry box, they slowly asked the price of the hairpins, and then took an old jade flower to ask this and that. After grinding for a few minutes, his hands casually reached the jewelry box.

As soon as I picked it up, I heard the sound of "Ger" in the box, and it seemed that something was sliding. I asked, "There is still a thing inside?"

The boss was just observing others, but didn't understand, and replied casually: "The only two corners are a bit broken, and the inside is fine. I have to keep the whole item for fun. It's still the price."

"I said there seems to be something inside." Zhang Fan repeated again, because he didn't ask clearly that the antique shop could not get started casually.

"No, it's empty. There were a few green flowers before, so I've sold them long ago." The stall owner replied.

"Why is it loud? The panel inside will not fall off, right?" Zhang Fan quickly put down the box.

The stall owner quickly picked it up and opened it: "It's impossible, it's all connected, there's not even a crack. Damn it, it won't be broken by those two people just now!"

Zhang Fan clapped his hands: "I just picked it up and didn't move."

The stall owner opened it and saw: "Hey, okay, you can play with me. Look."

When Zhang Fan saw that it was indeed very smooth inside and the patina was beautiful, he took it: "I clearly heard the sound just now, but I heard it wrong." He held it gently and swayed again, and then the stall owner heard it: "Huh? What's going on."

Zhang Fan gently pulled the small drawer in a box, and there was nothing, but it caused a sound. Zhang Fan knew that the small drawers of this kind of jewelry box were made very exquisitely and could be pulled out. So he slowly pulled out. There was really nothing in the drawer, but a silver ring was brought out from the drawer grid.

The stall owner took it and looked at it: "There is really something, why didn't you see it before?"

Zhang Fan smiled: "It probably was stuck in the gap in the drawer."

The stall owner weighed it, nothing special, and it was not inlaid: "Haha, a silver ring is a false alarm. If you want to buy that pair of hairpins, I'll give it to you." After that, he handed it to Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan took it, but suddenly felt a heat in his heart, as if it was coming from the ring from his finger through the palm of his hand. He was a doctor and didn't care, thinking that a certain nerve ending on his finger had cramps.

But I didn't know that this meeting would be the beginning of his strange experience, including magnificent, dangerous, and even a life-threatening life. After all, it is a blessing or a disaster, and it is hard to tell whether it is a blessing or a disaster or a disaster!

"Tsk, it's so light, what's silver or aluminum." Zhang Fan said with a smile.

"Hehe, I'll give it to you anyway." The stall owner was embarrassed: "I didn't ask for money, so I don't care what it is made of."

Zhang Fan took the ring, took the jewelry box and looked carefully, and then bargained with the stall owner. As a result, the stall owner saw so many people who had seen it, he naturally couldn't let go. Zhang Fan sighed and picked up the pair of hairpins. This time the stall owner was very happy. It was probably not practical and could not be arranged. Although the hairpins were good, they didn't want many people. The deal was three yuan and eight cents.

After leaving the stall owner, I spent half an hour shopping at the market, I bought a small plate of blue and white flowers and birds in the late Ming Dynasty. I saw that it was past nine o'clock in the morning, so I went back to my store to make a pot of tea and wait for a few old friends to chat. The antique market on Saturday always seemed more lively. Today, there were monthly exchange meetings, and there were more people walking around the docks than usual. On the contrary, compared to the market outside, the shops in the market were much quieter. People were on Taobao outside.

Taking advantage of this quiet moment, Zhang Fan picked up a few things he had been shopping for carefully studying. Although the two small plates were all made, the pattern paintings were sloppy, which were common in the late Ming Dynasty. They were a little old, but not worth a lot of money. The pair of hairpins was quite exquisite, made of silver, and the gilded gold did not fade completely. The blue kingfisher hair was quite complete. Such craftsmanship silver products were rare. Generally, kingfisher hair was not decent. However, most people didn't like it very much, they could not play with it, could not be arranged, and were not practical. Zhang Fan took it back to mean that he wanted to make it into a picture frame and hang it on the wall for decoration.

Finally, he took out the ring. In fact, when he saw it, Zhang Fan liked it a little, as if he was told in the industry that he was quite destined to be. After getting started, Zhang Fan was sure that it was not silver, so light. Of course, even if it was silver, it was not worth much money. Otherwise, he would have become a virgin stall owner, so how could he give it to others?

But after looking closely, I always feel that there is a layer of luster flowing on the ring. Yes, it is flowing, as if the ring is empty and there is silver liquid inside. There are a few words on the inside of the ring, which I can't see clearly. At first, Zhang Fan thought it was a poke from the old silver squad in the past. It doesn't look like it, it's not a text. Moreover, if you look closely, you will see something strange. In the past, the old silver craftsmanship was built with the head and tail, and this was connected together, and the old silver rings were all wide on the face and narrow on the inside, and this one was the same width. Only modern craftsmanship is like this, so the symbol "925" sterling silver should be printed on the inside.

Zhang Fan took out a small magnifying glass with white light, leaned close to the inside of the ring with his eyes, and carefully pondered the symbols. The enlarged symbols were much clearer, with four on one side, one cross, one horn character, one star and the moon sign, and one actually was a Taoist Yin and Yang fish! On the other side was a horizontal 8"∞"!

"Four major religions!" Zhang Fan exclaimed in a low voice. "How did it be printed?" Several symbols were only shallowly printed on the metal surface, no wonder they couldn't see clearly. Even modern silver rings, the 925 logo was engraved inside. "It's indeed a fake, a thing made of aluminum leather, and the symbols of the four major religions were also made into gimmicks." Zhang Fan also recognized the "∞" symbol, which should be the infinite meaning in mathematical symbols, but since the other side is the symbol of the four major religions of Christ (Catholic), Buddhism, Islam and Taoism, this "∞" should also represent the cycle of life and death.

Zhang Fan casually put the ring on his index finger, which was not big or small, and he always felt a little strange. Just as he was thinking, the ring was smooth and smooth. Zhang Fan rubbed his eyes, and there was nothing unusual on the ring, "Maybe he had been watching under the light for a long time, his eyes were a little blurry." Zhang Fan took off the ring and put another finger on. A strange thing came, the ring was not big or small, and he was just put on. "No, my fingers are the same thick." He changed his little finger again, which was just right. "It was made for me." Just as he was about to take the thumbs up, he ran in alone.

"What are you busy with?" Xiao Zhang said hello.

"Xiao Wang, what have you been shopping for so early?" Zhang Fan looked up and saw that he was a friend Xiao Wang who liked jade, or the moderator of a collection website, but his eyesight was average. He had a few old items in his hands, most of whom were new workers, and he was also a treasure.

"Where is it? I made a small thing, look." Xiao Wang handed over a jade piece three or four centimeters long to "What age do you see?" There was a little pride in his eyes.

Zhang Fan took it at a glance and knew it. He pretended to play with it for a while. He replied with a smile: "The material is good, from Xinjiang. It's hard to say that he is old. Look at the shape and pattern, it looks like it is from the Warring States Period. But..." Zhang Fan dragged a long voice.

Sure enough, Xiao Wang hurriedly said: "That's right, Lao Gu said he was under age. Look at how good the jade is, it was unearthed from a typical tomb. It's a glance! Look at the patina, how natural the workmanship is! Unfortunately, it's broken, and the complete device is still worth it!"

Zhang Fan smiled without saying anything, knowing that it was useless to say anything. In fact, at most, this thing was imitated by the late Qing Dynasty, or a broken piece. So he changed the topic: "How do you think of this ring?" After saying that, he handed over the ring. Xiao Wang was still talking about the key points of the identification of ancient jade.

"Oh, silver ring, an old thing from the Republic of China." Xiao Wang helped his eyes. After taking it, he turned over and looked at it: "It's so light, it's not aluminum, right? Oh, there are characters inside, silver numbers? I can't see clearly, it's useless if I can't pull it a few secretly." As he said that, he looked around his fingers. His little finger was too wide and his other fingers were too narrow, which was not suitable.

"Come on, have tea." Zhang Fan took out the small cup that only drank Kung Fu tea, picked up the teapot and scalded it. He brewed it again and made a gesture of invitation. Xiao Wang sat down and tapped the table twice, which was considered thanks.

The two chatted for a while. Another friend came to the store and greeted her. As usual, Xiao Wang gave his Warring States jade pieces to the visitors to appreciate, and another discussion of ancient jade. Then the new one took out a treasure, and he didn't mention it.

When a few friends came and went, they were offering treasures and praising each other, and there were real or fake things during this period. Zhang Fan was used to this kind of scene and was perfunctory.

Zhang Fan also watched each other's things. It's strange to say that the ring was not enough except Zhang Fan, but others could not wear it. It was either too big or too small. Everyone saw that the ring was dark and inconspicuous. However, it was the owner's object, but they all blew it. However, in the late Qing Dynasty, a person who blew over the head even cited the classics to pull things from the Song and Yuan dynasties. Seeing that only Zhang Fan was fond of wearing it, he actually fooled the saying of fate, checked the qi and looked at the appearance, and thought that Zhang Fan's marriage was about to come, which made everyone teased Zhang Fan.

After the tea was opened in the 4/5, at noon, the tea set was removed and the small restaurant next to the market called for wine and food. Zhang Fansu was not close to cigarettes and wine, and accompanied him with tea. Everyone had already known it, so he would not force him to persuade him to give in.

I was drunk and I was so excited that I blew the cowhide for the afternoon. At the end of the evening, people gradually dissipated.

According to the market, Zhang Fan came to his parents' residence. Since it was the weekend, he went to the old house to visit the old couple as usual.

Zhang Fan's parents were workers in a state-owned factory, and his father also liked to make some jade. Later, the factory's efficiency declined and was laid off. So he just pieced up some capital and started a jade business. After working for a few years, the Xinjiang Hetian jade in his hand had some savings, but he didn't make any money. It turned out that the business of collecting was a virtue. When he saw it, he played it by himself. Can he still make money? When his wife saw it, she felt that the business was a chance, so she bought out her seniority in advance.

I went into the business with my husband. Not to mention, with a woman in charge, the business is different. When my wife saw that her husband likes to collect Xinjiang jade, she didn't stop him. She just changed her varieties and went south to get back to jade. Sure enough, her husband was much more comfortable and she didn't hide the good goods. It was so smooth for several years. At the most glorious time, she opened a large jewelry store of more than 100 square meters on the commercial street in the city center. That was the time when Zhang Fan entered the hospital and entered the attendance examination.

However, it was the tragedy that the shop encountered a theft case. A very trusted salesperson usually got up early and went to bed late and opened the door, and the store had keys for her. As a result, the salesperson met a idle boyfriend and heard that he was taking drugs. As a result, the key was stolen and lost millions of jade jewelry. The guy ran away without a trace, and when he was caught, the stolen money had been squandered.

The couple was so angry that they had been ill for several months. Fortunately, Zhang Fan was a doctor who was dedicated to serving the two elders, which was considered a loss of money and disaster relief. No one was fine. He had to start over again and still managed the same small storefront.

Misfortune never came alone, but in just half a year, Zhang Fan was excluded and resigned. The couple had to smile bitterly: "Fortunately, I helped you buy the wedding house, otherwise you would be in trouble even if you got married."

Zhang Fan knew that his parents were worried about his marriage and did not want to make his parents angry, so he proposed to move to his new house alone. The couple couldn't persuade him, so they agreed, just asking him to come home every weekend.

During dinner, Zhang Fan talked about some interesting news in the market, and his parents were nagging about getting married early as usual. Before leaving, his mother felt sorry for her son, and quietly stuffed some money to him, constantly reminding him. Zhang Fan agreed with a wry smile, and then took a bus back to his community.

As soon as he entered the community gate, a black dog suddenly rushed out and barked at Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan knew this black dog, and this dog often appeared near the community. Zhang Fan often laughed at the dog as if patrolling in the community.

The security guard at the entrance of the community took a broom to drive it away. The dog tilted his head and looked at Zhang Fan for a while, whimpered like a threat, and then turned around and ran away with his head buried.

The security guard said: "This dog never barks, what's wrong today?" Zhang Fan shook his head, thanked him, and walked towards his home.

In fact, Zhang Fan himself also raised a dog. This dog has some origin. It was given by the old monk in the temple where he had met before. It is said that the dog was picked up by the old monk outside a thunderstorm day. His eyes were not open when he picked it up. Strangely, there was no bitch or family next to him, and I don’t know where it came from. Later, when Zhang Fan went to the temple, the old monk asked him to take it back because there was no meat food in the temple and it was difficult to feed it, so he asked him to take it back and gave him a string of rosary he brought.

Seeing that the beads were worn and worn for a long time, Zhang Fan took them apart and put them on his Buddhist desk to offer them. The dog took them home together and later moved to his new home with him. The dog usually barked lowly, so Zhang Fan called it "Jed" according to its call.

Zhang Fan lives on the top floor. When he bought this house, he also had a loft on the roof. The upstairs and downstairs were spacious. There were two bedrooms and one living room downstairs, two rooms in size and size on the upper floor, a bathroom and a large terrace.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the dog ran over, whimpering and rubbing his trousers, and circling around. Zhang Fan also spent some time outside. He was often outside, afraid that the dog would be bored at home, so he made a small door on the inner door and the security door to facilitate it to enter and exit by himself. Jade was quite well-behaved and always went outside to poop and pee, so he could not urinate for it.

Perhaps Jade had a fate with the Buddha, so he didn't like it in other places at home, and preferred to stay under the Buddha's case. Zhang Fan had no choice but to make a small nest under the Buddha's case in the living room. There was a round stone nest inside. According to the old monk, when he picked up the dog, it lay in the stone nest and took it back together.

Zhang Fan entered the house and folded his hands in front of the Buddha's desk and bowed. The moment he lowered his head, the Ming Dynasty kesi Thangka embroidered with the image of Master Tsongkhapa hanging on the wall behind the Buddha's desk without wind. For a moment, the painting seemed to be surging with the surviving water, the karma fire was raging, the lotus platform swaying, and the Vajra looked sideways. When Zhang Fan raised his head, everything came to peace again.

Jade wagged his tail and brought a pet toy bone, looking at the owner with a gaze. Zhang Fan picked up the bone and threw it away. Jade shouted happily, ran over and bit it hard. After a while, he ran over with the bone in his mouth.

Zhang Fan reached out to touch Jade. In his eyes, a trace of smoothness on the ring in his hand was as if he had been burned. Jade jumped back with a whimper. He grinned, and a whimpering sound showed an attack. Zhang Fan looked at it carefully this time and sat up suddenly. Jade was startled, turned around and ran into the room with his tail stomped. Zhang Fan felt strange in his heart, so he took off the ring and looked carefully, but no abnormality was found.

"Is it my eyes dazzled again?" murmured to himself, and walked straight to the attic.

The room in the attic is like a collection room, with an old chandelier from the 1920s hanging on the top of the spire, and a row of ancient Qing Dynasty chicken-woven wood shelves opposite the door, half of which are of various collections and half books on the shelves. A floor couch is placed close to the low windows in the south, and a Ming-style cherry wood kang table next to it, and a book is laid against the wall. A painting felt is placed next to the book, and a table lamp with a magnifying glass is placed on it. There are more than a dozen pieces of porcelain, jade, and a few small miscellaneous items scattered under the lamp, and next to it is a tea set.
Chapter completed!
