Beijing No. 1 Pawn Shop 。A pawnshop is essentially an old-fashioned pawnbroker. Customers pledge their belongings to the pawnshop to obtain funds for short-term needs. When redeeming the pawned items, interest is charged based on the time period. 。If it is not redeemed as scheduled, the pawnshop will sell the pledged item. 。Of course, many people simply "die on the cross", which means they accept their fate and do not redeem themselves. 。Generally speaking, the prices of deadstock items will be slightly higher. 。Of course, our story is not here to popularize pawn shop knowledge, but because the protagonist of our story works in a pawn shop, so we introduce it first. 。Judging by the name, Pawn Shop No. 1 should be a high-end pawn shop. 。But in reality, this is just a small pawn shop inside an alleyway in the Chaoyang District of Beijing. 。However, the owner of the pawnshop, Xiang Weimin, is a local elder of Panjiayuan. So, generally, people wouldn't bring antiques to the pawnshop for valuation because most pawnshops wouldn't offer a high price for them. 。The entire pawn shop, from the general manager to the clerks, was all Liang Xin. Liang Xin was Xiang Weimin's apprentice. 。<<>>。Over thirteen years, Liang Xin not only learned to distinguish antiques and paintings from different dynasties, but he also learned Wei Min's superb forgery skills. 。Whether it's the calligraphy of Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan, the paintings of Gu Kaizhi and Dong Qichang, or works by other renowned masters, Liang Xinquan can imitate them so convincingly that they are almost indistinguishable from the originals. 。Even an expert looking on personally might be fooled by him at times. 。With this skill, Liang Xin should have no worries about food and clothing. However, when his master, Xiang Weimin, took him in as a disciple, they had an agreement: he was not allowed to leave the mountain until he had studied for at least fifteen years. 。Therefore, Liang Xin is still only a small manager at the number one pawn shop to this day. 。It was the hottest July in Beijing, with sweltering heat. 。Liang Xin leisurely leaned on the rocking chair outside the pawnshop, wearing a black sunglasses, with an electric fan blowing. He held a purple clay pot and sipped Tieguanyin tea, humming a tuneless melody, looking utterly relaxed and content. 。It has to be said that lying on a rocking chair in broad daylight with sunglasses on is a bit of a show, but actually Liang Xin's sunglasses have a special purpose. 。Under the cover of sunglasses, Liang Xin could brazenly hit anyone on the street, even staring at people's sensitive areas without anyone being able to notice. 。Whenever someone walked past Liang Xin humming a tune, it would sound in his ears. If he got closer and listened carefully, he could hear him humming: "36, 26, 38, this little girl is pretty good material, just not that great of a face... Well, this little girl is tall, I wonder if she's different..." "Hey, is this a pawnshop?" Suddenly, a voice interrupted Liang Xin's daydream. 。Liang Xin pulled down his sunglasses and looked at the fat man with a big head and ears in front of him. He pointed outside the door with his left hand and said, "Didn't you see the sign yourself? I'm not your father, I don't have to teach you how to read." 。"Hey! Are you calling me names?" The fat guy immediately got angry. 。Liang Xin decisively took off his sunglasses and, after carefully looking at the fat man's five faces clustered together, said: "Thank you." 。You didn't say anything, so I thought I was insulting a pig, not a person. 。"You little punk, you're asking for a beating!" The fat man reached out to grab Liang Xin's clothes... 。Liang Xin blocked the fat man's hand with his right foot and quickly kicked him in the chest with his left, sending the fat man sprawling to the ground. 。Only a "clunk!" was heard, and the fat man quickly took something from his right hand hidden under the black cloth. It turned out to be something like a seal that had been broken in two. 。The fat man flew into a rage and said, "You broke my jade seal! You have to pay for it!" Liang Xin glanced at the so-called "jade seal" that the fat man held. At first, Liang Xin wasn't paying much attention, but he quickly took a second look. 。Liang Xin's eyebrows jumped, feigning nonchalance: "What 'jade seal'? It's just a piece of broken stone." 。Hey, I said you should back off and stay away from me, little punk. 。If you anger me, I'll beat you so badly that even your mother won't recognize you. 。“You…” The fat man wanted to get angry, but Liang Xin’s previous two moves showed that he wasn’t weak. The fat man didn’t have the confidence to completely subdue Liang Xin, and for a moment, the fat man didn’t know what to do. 。Liang Xin waved his hand and said, "Hey, I'm saying if you don't have anything to do, just leave, don't stand at my door, I still have business to do." 。"You... you broke my jade! If you don't compensate me, I won't leave today!" 。The fat man plopped down on the ground, his expression resolute, as if he was truly determined to wage a prolonged war against Liang Xin. 。Liang Xintong was stunned, "Hey, I said how could you be like this? Get lost! Or I'll really hit you." 。Liang Xin feigned rolling up his sleeves, the fat man's neck stiffened, and he forced himself to say: "You won't pay me back, I won't leave until I beat you to death." 。"You..." Liang Xin angrily pointed at the fat man with her index finger, then forcefully swallowed her anger and said: "Fine fine, I'm afraid of you. I'll give you two thousand yuan, just get out of here." 。Two thousand? Not even enough for me to lose half an hour, I need at least ten thousand. 。"Three thousand, do you want it?" 。Eight thousand, not a single cent less. 。Four thousand, if you ask me for another penny I'll call the police. Then we'll see if you can get away with it. 。"Four thousand..." The fat man considered for a moment before continuing, "Take the money..." 。Liang Xin took out his wallet from his back pocket and counted the money. "Damn it, I'm so unlucky today. Four thousand yuan for a piece of junk stone." 。You put that rock somewhere safe for me, and after we make a written agreement I'll give you the money. 。"You're such a pain... Alright, alright, hurry up..." 。I still need to hurry back and look through the book. 。The fat man grumbled impatiently. 。Liang Xin took a pen and wrote down the deed, Fatty scribbled his name on the deed crookedly, then Liang Xin gave him the money. 。The fat man counted the money and then ran away quickly, as if afraid Liang Xin would go back on his word. 。Liang Xin placed the shattered "jade seal" that Fatty had left on his side, and after about a minute or two, Liang Xin stuck his head out of the shop to look. 。<<>>。The space in the darkroom was larger than the pawn shop's storefront. Liang Xin and Xiang Weimin usually forged things right here. 。The entire dimly lit room was filled with all sorts of paintings, calligraphy, antiques, jewelry, and ancient jade. 。However, only Liang Xin and Xiang Weimin can tell the truth from falsehood. 。After entering the dark room, Liang Xin sat at a long pear wood table and carefully examined the jade seal, which had been broken in two. 。After watching for about five or six minutes, Liang Xin raised his left hand and slapped himself hard, wailing loudly: "My god! This thing is really amazing, ah ah, why did you have to kick that fat dead guy? Your kick is worth a billion, a billion!" 。I would give a billion dollars to have you cut into pieces. 。Liang Xin sighed sadly for a long time, then weakly took out his phone and called his master, Xiang Weimin. 。As soon as Xiang Wei Min picked up the phone, Liang Xin blurted out: "Old man, I've got a national treasure for you!" 。How strange is "" ? Is the He's Bi considered strange? If what you taught me is true, I think the jade seal in my hand is the He's Bi. 。"Now hold your horses, old man. Take two aspirin first and then listen to what I have to say." 。When I got this thing, I was being stupid and kicked it to pieces, breaking it into two. 。"What? Liang Goudan, I... your ancestors eighteen generations..."Xiang Weimin's voice came directly from Liang Xin's phone speaker, lingering for a long time. 。Liang Xin had expected that Xiang Weimin would react this way, so he had kept his phone far away beforehand. Otherwise, his ears might have been blasted out. 。"Forget it, I don't even know where my ancestors are buried. You won't find the rightful owner anyway." 。After saying that, Liang Xin quickly hung up the phone. 。When Liang Xin reached out to take the He's Bi, he cried out "ouch!" The broken edge of the He's Bi sliced his finger. 。 Before Liang Xin could withdraw his finger, a powerful suction force pulled him into the Ande Bì. A surge of warm energy flowed through his finger and directly into his body. 。Slowly, Liang Xin felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, until finally he fell asleep on the pearwood table. 。In her sleep, Liang Xin dreamed of Liu Laoshi's wife from the hutongs. 。Liu Laoshi is also an elder of Panjiayuan. He doesn't look remarkable, but his family is quite well-off. 。Three years ago, he married a wife who was thirteen years younger than him. 。That person tsk tsk tsk... Anyone who sees it will drool. 。Not to mention the well-proportioned waist and hips, the key is that her face is also pretty. Her skin is even whiter than the tofu brain under the bridge that day, and 。In his dream, Liang Xin encountered Liu Laoshi's wife trying to seduce him. He watched as her clothes came off more and more, until she was completely naked. 。Liang Xin's heart was about to burst out of his throat. Just as he was about to grab his gun and mount his horse, *ouch*... 。A chill ran through him, and Liang Xin woke with a start. 。After realizing it was just a dream, Liang Xin sighed with regret: "Alas... what a pity... what a pity..." Just as Liang Xin was pounding his foot in lament, there came a knock on the door. A loud voice could be heard from outside: "Xiao Fuzī, the monthly stipend is being distributed by the money officer! If you don't hurry and collect it, you'll miss out. The money officer doesn't wait for anyone!" 。"Xiao Fuzhi? Qian Gonggong? Monthly allowance?" Liang Xin frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly his brain felt dizzy, and various memories and information flooded into Liang Xin's mind. 。Liang Xin was greatly surprised. 。He was astonished to discover that he had traveled back in time to the year 1110, during the reign of Emperor Huizong in the Northern Song Dynasty, all because of a young eunuch named Xiaofu at the imperial pharmacy. 。According to Xiao Fuzi's memory, the most dangerous category of eunuchs in the imperial palace of the pharmacy was ... 。Because their duty was to taste all the medicines used by the imperial concubines and the emperor, ensuring they were poison-free before delivering them to the emperor and those concubines. 。There's a saying in Traditional Chinese Medicine that "medicine is three parts poison". In Xiaofuzi's memory, there weren't even ten little eunuchs in the apothecary who could last for three years. 。Liang Xin cried with a face full of sorrow, and suddenly he remembered to quickly pull away his son and look at him. 。After seeing the proud, ferocious and majestic younger brother, Liang Xin let out a long sigh of relief and muttered to himself: "Good, good, this one is still here and fully functional, hey... even the model number is much larger than the previous one." 。"> |
