Chapter 2 Past and Present(1/2)
Shen Guanglin, male, do you like girls?
If it were a particularly good-looking boy, I would consider it...
He is 24 years old, a native of Jinling, and lives alone.
He has moved out and lived alone since he was 18 years old. Anyway, the house at home is enough, and he is free to live alone. It is also convenient to want to be Neptune.
Scumbag men are scumbags, and they blossom everywhere.
During the Chinese New Year, his father, Lao Shen, said that he would give him a generous gift as a birthday present, but he actually received a "treasure bowl".
Lao Shen also said that returning treasures are handed down from ancestors and have been passed down from the early Ming Dynasty to the present. They must be preserved and passed on to future generations.
The thing looks pretty good, an old thing with a big door.
This is a bronze vessel like the Xuande stove, with three legs. It looks like a tripod when viewed from the side, and like a basin when viewed from the front. The coating is thick and the light is restrained.
Based on the few family cultural relics, we can know that this is at least a familiar pit, and it is definitely not the kind of raw melon and egg that was just unearthed.
Lao Shen said that this is the "treasure bowl" of their Shen family's family heritage. Let's believe this is true. Who makes Lao Shen a professional?
Anyway, the antiquities dealer's mouth is full of stories, and he can weave a completely different but full of twists and turns version of any item.
Shen Guanglin even felt that Lao Shen should not sell antiques. He should become CEO of a listed company because he can tell stories, and investors love to hear stories.
Lao Shen refused, so he kept a few antique shops of his own, and then told everyone he met that he was an antique dealer with elegance, pursuits, culture, and hobbies.
In fact, Ya is just a dealer in cultural relics. He usually only plays on the sidelines of the law. He would not dare to give him the opportunity to make a lot of money like joining a class room.
But the good thing is that he never does anything illegal or illegal, nor does he sell cultural relics overseas. He just helps some rich people find some good objects, and the money never goes to outsiders.
Lao Shen's real name is Shen Houdao, and he is just an ordinary second-generation man.
I usually do other businesses to make a little money, but the foundation for wealth accumulation was laid down a generation ago.
In the Shen family, it is Shen Guanglin's grandfather Shen Longxian who really has a long-term vision and hides it.
People are the winners in life.
At every important choice point in life, people have made the right choice.
Grandpa Shen Longxian did not have a good start. There are seven brothers and sisters in the family, three boys and four girls. He is the youngest.
In the family of origin, grandpa Shen Longxian is the eldest, and the two brothers are almost a generation apart.
When the great grandfather joined the revolution, Shen Longxian was not even born.
The old Shen family chose a good location for their main base, but the timing was not very good.
Jinling, a place where the Four World Wars took place, became an occupied area during the Anti-Japanese War.
The Anti-Japanese War in Songhu and the fall of China.
Because Shen Longxian was young, he happened to be visiting relatives at his second sister's house in Yangzhou and escaped the disaster.
However, his parents and several other siblings were killed one after another during the war.
As he grew older, Shen Longxian worked as a child laborer in a machinery factory in Jinling during the Wang Puppet period. After the liberation of Jinling in 1945, he naturally became a worker of the National Central Machinery Bureau. After liberation, he became a worker of the Jinling Machinery Factory. I survived like this all the way until retirement.
The family was not so lucky. Four of the seven sisters died in the war. Only the eldest brother, the second sister and his seventh sister survived.
The second sister's life was not bad. She married into Yangzhou, a small town next door, when she was a teenager. The two families have always been in contact.
The eldest brother, Shen Long, is hard to say at first. He sacrificed his family to start a revolution for the country, and then there was no news from him. By the time we found out, he had already sacrificed his life for the country.
At least, he became the pride of the family.
Unfortunately, it is said that he once left behind a child, but he has never been able to get in touch with him.
After the reform and opening up, overseas visits to relatives became popular in the 1980s and 1990s.
Shen Guanglin's father has been looking forward to his overseas relatives for many years, but he has never been able to meet his overseas relatives.
Fortunately, the old man Shen Longxian had great foresight. Although he was just an ordinary worker, he insisted on letting his wife and children retain their rural household registration, and successfully retained the Banla Mountains on the edge of Xuanwu Lake.
Guaiguailongdidong, it was completely different after that.
The reasons for poverty are the same, but the reasons for their outbreak are different.
There is a reason why the old Shen family became wealthy.
The first one was that during the housing reform of his work unit, he spent money to buy several "shabby houses" that others did not want;
Article 2: The Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area was developed and the real estate development was expropriated, which demolished a lot of his land and houses.
In this way, the Shen family finally became a wealthy family.
Shen Houdao also cultivated himself as an antique worker by relying on the "broken four old" old objects secretly collected by his father.
Not only that, the old Shen family is said to be descendants of Shen Wanshan, who moved from Zhouzhuang, and this branch of their family is still a direct lineage, so there has always been a "treasure" passed down.
Shen Guanglin looked at this "treasure" over and over, but couldn't see anything special about it.
The outer facade of the "cornucopia" is engraved with some cloud patterns and animals, and some flowers and birds are written in seal script inside.
Without looking up the dictionary, he knew what these characters meant. They were: "A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui" and "Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen". ,Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai".
These are the "Ten Heavenly Stems" and the "Twelve Earthly Branches", which can be freely combined to form 60 pairs. If used to mark the year, it will be a "jiazi".
Of course, there is another unit of time called "ten".
"One ten years" generally refers to 10 years. For example, a sixty-year-old is 60 years old, and a seventy-year-old is 70 years old.
But when referring to a "time period", "one decade" is 12 years.
For example: "My girlfriend is only forty years older than me, but I still love her very much." Forty years here does not refer to 40 years, but 48 years.
Let's talk about this "family heirloom" again. In the middle of the "Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches" are also engraved: "Qian, Kun, Zhen, Li, Kan, Gen, Dui, Xun". This is the Eight Diagrams, and there is a yin and yang fish in the middle. shape.
Could it be that this is a Feng Shui instrument?
Is it true that as long as you throw all kinds of treasures in, the Yin and Yang fish will automatically spin, then golden light will overflow, and countless treasures will spit out?
At least that's how it's played on TV.
You can give it a try.
Shen Guanglin tried putting various things on hand into it, but nothing happened.
Isn't it said that the "cornucopia" can be copied and pasted? Lao Tzu said in Chapter 42 of the Tao Te Ching: "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things."
Is there a procedure to activate it? After all, the sense of ritual is also very important, for example, a blood test to identify the master?
This is also done on TV.
Shen Guanglin took a needle to measure his blood uric acid and pricked his finger lightly.
A drop of blood drips directly onto the eye of the yin-yang fish in the middle of the Bagua.
It's useless, there's no flash of golden light, there's no radiant light.
Another drop of blood was dropped, and it was the eye of another fish.
Still not...
There is a reaction!
Really responded!
I'm going!
It's amazing to say that the two drops of blood just now disappeared!
There was no trace left on the pelvic floor, as if nothing had happened just now.
It turns out it’s really weird!
Squeeze out another drop of blood...
The blood is gone again.
Squeeze again...
The finger stopped bleeding. Just like Brother Xiaolu, the wound had solidified.
Change your finger and continue pricking...
If the blood drops, it will be gone. If it drips, it will be gone.
Is this not a vampire?
Seventh dimension? Sophie? Avni? Hu Shubao?
Doesn’t Hu Shubao refer to Director Feng?
Otherwise, let's try something else. After all, blood essence is very precious and cannot be wasted easily.
Shen Guanglin originally planned to treat himself to a BBQ meal. After all, it was his birthday.
He was defrosting his "Osaka beef" just now. This stuff is very valuable, especially during the epidemic, it is not easy to take a bite.
Put the unfrozen beef in the packaging bag directly...
After only three to five seconds, the thing disappeared again!
To be continued...
