"Boss Jin, are you home?"
Zhang Ran asked Ning Wei to park the tricycle outside the courtyard house. Then, he walked in with his people and shouted to the inner courtyard while walking.
After a while, the door of the inner room opened, and an old man with age spots all over his face walked out. When he saw Zhang Ran, he was overjoyed and said,"Brother Ran, you're finally here!"
"Why? Were you waiting for me?"
"Of course I was waiting for you. I have a friend who is also a descendant of the previous dynasty. He is a descendant of a Manchu noble family. He is from the Ma Jia family and has many famous officials. The most famous one is the crown prince of the Shengzu Dynasty, the Grand General of Fuyuan, Tu Hai! He came to my place yesterday and heard that you buy these old items at a fair price, so he waited for me for the whole day!”
"He also has old items to sell?" Zhang Ran was delighted. Wait, Tu Hai's name sounded familiar.
Suddenly, Zhang Ran remembered a TV series called the Kangxi Dynasty that he had watched before. There was a general named Tu Hai.
"Boss Jin, is the Tu Hai you're talking about the person who helped Kangxi pacify the world three times?”
In the TV series, Zhou Peigong's contribution was exaggerated. In fact, Zhou Peigong had never served as the commander of the army that attacked Wu Sangui. He had always been Tu Hai's subordinate.
Zhou Peigong's greatest contribution was persuading Wang Fuchen, who had cheated and watched the battle between Wu Sangui and Kangxi, to surrender, giving Kangxi, who was in a weak position at the beginning of the war, a chance to breathe.
In history, the commander in chief who pacified Wu Sangui had always been Tu Hai, who was conferred the title of Fuyuan General.
Thinking about it, it made sense. How could Kang Mazi let a Han like Zhou Peigong be the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands? They were all Han Chinese, weren't they afraid that he would ally with Wu Sangui? Once they joined forces, Kang Xi could only bring his grandmother, wife, and children back to the northeast to herd sheep.
Kang Mazi boasted that Manchu and Han were equal, but in fact, he had never relaxed his guard against the Han. Otherwise, he would not have ordered a halt to the promotion and development of firearms. He was worried that if everyone had a gun, hundreds of thousands of Manchu would not be able to rule hundreds of millions of Han.
"Brother Ran, you know about that period of history?" Old Jin was surprised.”Then, he muttered to himself,"That's true. If you're not an expert in history, how would you dare to do this business of recycling old objects?" By the way, this young man beside you is…"
"He's my younger brother. He's helping me!”
Boss Jin nodded. Actually, he was just asking casually. He cared about Zhang Ran.
"Boss Jin, let's get down to business. What is your friend trying to sell? Antiques, paintings, or something else? I've broadened the categories of recycling now. I'll also accept antique calligraphy and paintings, mahogany furniture, badges, stamps, and so on!”
"Stamp for furniture?" The old man laughed heartily." I have these things, especially the stamps. I have a set of Great Dragon stamps that my Amma passed to me. According to my Amma, it was issued by the customs post during the previous dynasty. It's also the first set of stamps in China! You can just give me some money later!”
"I'm not in a hurry. Come in and sit down. I'll call my old friend over! His entire family can't make a living. Otherwise, that old fellow wouldn't have waited for you all day!”
"Then I'll have to trouble you! Old Gold Head, I can't let you run errands for free. In the future, if you sell anything to me, I'll give you a dollar for your hard work!”
Old Jin nodded at Zhang Ran." Brother Ran, I didn't see wrongly. You know how to be willing at such a young age. Your future is limitless!"”
"Thank you for your good words!"
After Old Jin went out, Ning Wei whispered to Zhang Ran,"Big Brother Zhang, this old man's house is really big!”
Zhang Ran smiled and thought,'This courtyard will be mine in the future. The bigger the better, because the bigger it is, the more valuable it is.'
Not long after Old Jin went out, he brought in an old man with a wretched expression.
When the wretched old man saw Zhang Ran, he asked impatiently,"Are you going to keep the screen? How much?"
"What screen?" Zhang Ran smiled. Is it an old item? You have to introduce the general situation first. How am I supposed to answer your question?”
Old Gold berated the wretched old man,"Let me tell you, Brother Ran is the fairest person this old man has ever seen. If your screen is really valuable, he won't give you less! Tell me about the situation first!"
The wretched old man sniffed, his face pale and his stomach rumbling."This is the spoils of war that our ancestor, Tu Hai Gong, seized when he pacified Wu Sangui. It is said that it is placed in Wu Sangui's room all year round!”
"That's something from the Kangxi Dynasty. Can I take a look at the goods first?”
Twenty minutes later, at the wretched old man's house, Zhang Ran finally saw the screen that his family used to hang clothes.
The frame of the screen emitted a faint fragrance. It should be something like agarwood. There was a painting on the screen: A tiger and an oriole.
Not to mention anything else, just this frame alone was worth a lot of money.
Zhang Ran placed his hand on the screen, and the Eye of Truth skill was automatically activated.
Images of this ancient screen appeared in front of him. From its creation to its origin, as well as its previous collectors, it was very complete.
One of the most important scenes was an old man wearing a king's robe and a whip. He was showing off his three treasures to a eunuch named Xiao Guizi, and the screen was one of them.
The next scene was the old man in the python robe talking to himself while facing the screen,""Kangxi, you are that oriole, and this old man Wu Sangui is this fierce tiger. How can a fierce tiger let a little oriole stand on its head!”
Zhang Ran came back to his senses and thought that it really belonged to Wu Sangui.
The painter of the screen was Shi Tao, a great painter in the early Qing Dynasty.
This thing was extremely valuable!
