Yinsi guest

The pit is actually more than two meters deep in total, and we illuminated every move of the little grandpa with a flashlight.Due to the angle, we can only see a wooden cover under the stone slab, with some carved patterns on it.I saw the little grandpa looked at the stone first, and then came to the tank.He reached out to lift the lid from a distance, waited for more than a minute, but nothing came out, so he leaned over the edge of the tank and took a flashlight to take a picture.

"What's in it, sir?" I wondered.

The third grandpa didn't speak, and lay motionless by the tank.

"Uncle, are you okay?" Father was also anxious.We looked at each other and jumped into the pit together.Rolling and crawling, he touched the little grandpa's waist, and didn't dare to look at the contents of the tank, so he dragged it outside.

After dragging for more than half a meter, the little grandpa suddenly said: "Don't pull, don't come, I'm fine!"

"It's okay, you just lie there and don't answer when we tell you, we thought you were insane!" I hurriedly explained.

The little grandpa didn't speak, he dragged us both to lie down on the edge of the tank, and shone the flashlight inside, and I couldn't move immediately.

Suddenly I felt someone pulling me, and when I looked back, my mother came down too.

"What's the matter with you three, you don't answer! You scared me to death. Ye Zi, Ye Zi, don't scare mom, you can't do anything!" My mother was in tears, thinking that something happened just like us.

"Don't worry, Mom, you can come and see!" I dragged my mother to the edge of the tank, and my mother was stunned for a moment.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly my mother started crying.

"I'm not promising, I'm crying!" My father also reacted.

The mother cried and said: "I have never had a gold earring in my life. If these are true, I..."

At this time, the third grandfather and I also calmed down.The reason we are all stunned is very simple, because we are all poor.

Why are the poor stunned?Because poor people have never seen gold ingots and gold bars in their entire lives.

Obviously, there are gold ingots and gold bars in the jar.When the flashlight shone in, it was dazzling yellow.You can't see the bottom of the tank at a glance, it should be layer by layer.And the reason why we poor people are stunned is because of the ingots and gold bars on the first floor.

The ingots are arranged in four directions, southeast, northwest, and a pair of ingots in each position.Each of these ingots is as big as a palm, because we poor people have never seen ingots before, so we don’t know how heavy they are. Anyway, they should feel very heavy, so heavy that each of us is so full that our eyes move away. Can't open Shen.In the middle of the ingot are eight gold bars, arranged in the shape of the Chinese character "卍".

"What should I do?" Grandpa looked at me.

"Take it out!" These three words came out of my teeth bluntly, each word was so low and hoarse.

The little grandpa looked at me and said word by word: "Then, you go up first. I'll pick it up, Xiaoye's father, you come to pick up the things I picked up, Xiaoye, you will continue on the top. Xiaoye's mother, you go upstairs , Take down the sandalwood incense that I put on my clothes, I lost everything in it, hurry up!"

My mother and I nodded, looked at the contents of the tank again, and reluctantly crawled out of the pit.

"Mom, don't look, you go and get the box, and I will tie you a big gold chain when you come back." I said to my mother who was still looking back.

The mother smiled through tears: "Stinky boy, how dare you laugh at your mother! I can't beat you to death." Then she ran upstairs.

At this time, the little grandpa had already started to take gold ingots.Gold ingots are in pairs, tied together with red thread in the middle.I heard a story before that there was a rich man who lived frugally and beat all the money he earned into gold ingots and hid them under the bed.Year after year, the rich man got richer and richer, and there was no need to use those ingots, and they were quietly hidden under the bed.But suddenly one night, when the rich man was sleeping, seven fat and white boys crawled out one after another from the foot of the bed. Keep your wealth and keep your fortune. Now the fate is over, today we are going to Jiangxi Lu Sheng's home, please take care of yourself in the future." After speaking, they ran out of the room one by one laughing.The rich man was startled and sat up. It turned out to be Huang Liang Yimeng.But he felt strange again, after thinking about it, he remembered the gold ingot hidden under the bed, and hurriedly moved the bed to check.After looking at it, he was shocked, nine ingots, no more, no less, seven of them disappeared.Recalling what the boy said in the dream, the rich man immediately sent someone to investigate at Lu Sheng's home in Jiangxi. Sure enough, Lu Sheng, who was originally poor, started to turn around overnight, buying houses and land, and making a fortune.The rich man didn't report it to the officials after he knew it. After all, the matter was too strange, so he asked a wise mage for advice. The mage asked him to tie the ingot with a red thread so that it would not run away again.Since then, it has been said that rich people will tie up gold and silver ingots with red thread if they are not used for a long time. I did not expect it to be true.

The ingots are very heavy, probably weighing several catties each. Four pairs of ingots were handed out one by one. Every time I took a pair, my heart skipped a beat. It was so exciting.Not only me, although the light was dim, I still saw my father pinch his thigh twice.And the little grandpa didn't know if he was nervous or bored, his forehead was covered with sweat.

There was a bang from upstairs, which startled the three of us.Something happened to my mother!I pulled my legs and ran upstairs.

Now everyone is overwhelmed and everything is in danger, so I hurried upstairs to see my mother.It turned out that the box was turned over. My mother took some clothes and turned the box over to pour it out. Unexpectedly, she lost her grip and fell to the ground.It was also because of our anxiety and nervousness, the two of us held back our laughter and carried the box downstairs.

When I got downstairs, my father had already taken out the gold bars.The third grandfather also came out, groping around there, looking ridiculous, reminding me of that miser of Grandet.We put the ingots and gold bars into the box together, and everyone's nervous hands shook.

"Xiaoye's father, do you think this father's ingot is real?" the little grandpa opened his mouth, and took out a cigarette by the way.

Father took out the lighter in his pocket, lit it for Grandpa, and smoked one himself. "It should be true. It doesn't matter what it is, old Shen! Besides, Lao Yang's family wouldn't bury fake ingots!"

"These ingots and gold bars cost millions of dollars! This rich family is really rich! Now Xiaoye's house is in possession!" Mother lamented the wealth of Lao Yang's family, and at the same time began to plan for me .

The little grandpa took a breath of smoke: "Don't worry, this is the first floor. This tank is as deep as the lotus tank outside. I think there are three or four floors below. I don't know what else is there! Continue!"

"Grandpa, rest a little longer! Seeing that you are covered in sweat, let me get it!" I volunteered, wanting to see it.

The little grandpa held me down: "Xiaoye, don't believe in some things. If you are promised a lot of money, you may have a lot of trouble. You are still young, if you want retribution, you can repay it on my old man!"

"Master, you..." I was a little choked up, there are so many deceptions in this society, you can sell anything for money, only the closest relatives and only loved ones can still think about you in such a situation.

When I wiped the corners of my eyes, my grandpa and father had already gone down into the pit.The little grandpa leaned into the tank and lifted the wooden grille used to partition the tank.What will happen this time?The hearts of the three of us raised our throats, "Kudden, Kodden" I seemed to hear my own heartbeat.

With the first experience, the little grandpa calmed down a lot this time.

"You all come down, I need help with this thing!" The little grandpa called out to my father and me from below.

My father and I hurried down and leaned over to look at the things in the tank.This time it was no longer gold, nor silver, but jade.The lower grille is covered with a layer of brocade, which is extremely gorgeous and has no trace of decay. When the light shines on it, it seems that light is still flowing along the silk lines.On the brocade, there are two jade pagodas made of white jade, one on the left and one on the right. The pagodas are crystal clear without any impurities. , suet white jade, really deserves its reputation. I didn't understand what kind of concept it was before, but today I can really feel it.The two white jade pagodas are exactly the same, no matter in terms of texture, color or size, each is [-] centimeters high, and the carvings are meticulous and natural.There is a plaque engraved on the front of the tower with the word "Wenchang" engraved on it.

I understood when I saw the word "Wenchang". I have seen such towers in our village, but they are all made of wood or stone, and some are made of copper.Hundreds of years ago, a mountain village built a "Wenchang" pagoda, and in the following hundreds of years, many scholars and high officials came out of the mountain village.So the villagers all attributed their credit to Wenchang Pagoda, saying that this kind of pagoda is helpful to fame and career.So in my hometown, if anyone has a child who wants to take an exam or wants to have a prosperous official career, the elders in the family will invite such a "Wenchang" pagoda and put it on a bookcase or desk, so that they can write quickly and have a prosperous official career.

Being able to see these two towers this time can be said to be both expected and unexpected.The descendants of Lao Yang's family have always been prosperous in official career, so they must have a "Wenchang" pagoda in their family, so it is expected; and there are such exquisite jade pagodas, large in size, good in jade quality, and there are two. unexpected.

The two jade pagodas have already dazzled our grandfathers, and there is something between the two pagodas that makes us even more excited. Under the light, it is shining with a green luster, and the emerald green seems to flow out at any time.I also have a piece of emerald on my chest, but compared with the texture of this thing, I can tell whether it is good or bad.I am not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I am afraid of comparing goods. The ancients did not deceive me.

I looked at that thing carefully, about [-] centimeters in diameter, it looked like a jade turtle, but when the light came on, I found that the turtle's head was a dragon's head, majestic.The dragon head has a turtle back and a snake tail, and it looks like an extraordinary fetish at first glance.Looking at this strange object, I don't care about its value anymore. It must be worth a lot, so I don't care about it.

"What is this, sir?" I asked my little grandpa. I have the habit of asking when I don't understand since I was a child.

"This is the Seven Star Yuanbao Dragon Turtle!" The little grandpa replied. "Your great uncle has one in his hand. The quality of the jade is not bad, but it's much smaller. It's something he acquired after he learned Feng Shui. He said that the Seven Star Yuanbao Dragon Turtle is called the Great Tortoise of the Gods. It can ward off disasters and reduce disasters for people, and at the same time it has the meaning of longevity and auspiciousness. Facing evil things, it has both the might and fortitude of a dragon and the calm and forbearance of a tortoise. Placed in the hall, the dragon head can receive wealth; In the old man's bedroom, the turtle's back symbolizes longevity; while the snake's tail symbolizes fertility, it can gather vitality and prosper when used in a town house."

"That's really a good thing, the old Yang's family is really bold! This thing is so big..." I still couldn't help but fantasize.

"Don't think about it, you just pull me to order, I'll go get these things out!" The little grandpa interrupted my wild thoughts.

After a while, we came out one by one, carefully holding the jade pagoda and the dragon turtle.Gently placed on the Eight Immortals table, an ordinary Eight Immortals table suddenly glowed brightly because of the addition of three beautiful jade products.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, but the moonlight was still not very clear.None of us wanted to turn on the lights, as if we were a little guilty.But just because the lights were not turned on, we saw the extraordinaryness of these things.The main room was extremely dark at this time, but the jade pagoda and dragon tortoise on the table exuded a charming brilliance, and the slightest bit of moonlight could make them radiant.The white is translucent, and the green is eye-catching. You can tell that it is a priceless treasure at a glance.

The ingots and gold bars on the first floor shocked us beyond our control. Although the jade pagoda and dragon tortoise on the second floor were not so shocking, I knew that the value of these three things far exceeded the ingots and gold bars on the first floor. .Because there is a saying: Gold is priceless and jade is priceless;The ancient Heshibi was priceless, and the Qin State was willing to exchange fifteen cities for it. It can be seen that a real piece of jade is worth far more than gold.But today, in front of me, on this ordinary table of the Eight Immortals, there are three pieces of beautiful jade that even a layman like me can see is priceless.

How to deal with these precious jades really needs to be carefully considered.Although they are valuable, I think they have extraordinary meanings, and collecting them is more meaningful than selling them.I believe my grandpa and parents must think so too.In their eyes, my health, success, and happiness came first.
