The man's name is Lu Feiyu, his family lives in Mianyang, Sichuan, a year ago Lu Fei because he wanted to get married, so he demolished the old house of the family to prepare to build a new house, but he didn't expect to dig a gilt pot in the foundation.
That morning, Lu Feiyu was directing the excavator master to dig the foundation of the new house, and when he went down, Lu Feiyu found that the excavator had brought some wood chips, and he hurriedly shouted: "Master, stop first, there seems to be something below."
The excavator master was also stunned, and laughed: "Your family shouldn't have any treasures in the old house, right?"
Lu Feiyu said with a smile: "Who knows if there is, they have dug so deep and dug up sawdust, maybe there really is! My ancestors have also been arrogant, maybe that ancestor buried something in the ground!"
Lu Feiyu said that, and jumped into the foundation and began to look for it.
I don't know if I don't look for it, and I'm shocked when I look for it.
In the depths of the foundation, he really found a few broken wooden planks, there was a hole under the plank, and there was a wooden box under the hollow, because of the accidental touch of the excavator just now, the wooden box had rotted a large hole on it.
Lu Feiyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly came out and greeted the excavator master: "Master, you really said it, there is really something underneath, you have a deeper bucket, dig out all the things below."
When the excavator master heard this, he was also stunned, he didn't expect one of his jokes to come true.
Immediately, according to Lu Feiyu's request, he dug out the things underneath and carefully poured them on the cement slab next to him.
Lu Feiyu stepped forward to see that in addition to the rotten wooden planks and a few stone slabs, there was only a wooden box with a length and width of about forty or fifty centimeters, and the excavator master also stopped the operation and jumped out of the car.
"Dude, hurry up and see, what's in there"!
With that, his loud voice suddenly shouted around, "Come and see, everyone!
When seven or eight people who were working in other places heard this, they immediately trotted around and gathered around, and digging out good things on the construction site has always been a very attractive thing.
Lu Feiyu took out the wooden box, and under the urging of everyone, he had to open the wooden box.
As soon as it was opened, the onlookers were suddenly flashed by the contents of it.
"Gold, golden pots, and so many copper coins"?
I saw that inside this box, there were a pair of gold lumps and copper coins of different sizes scattered around, and in addition, there was also an extremely beautiful gold pot.
Lu Feiyu only glanced at it and quickly put it away, this thing was dug out in the foundation of his ancestral house, and it naturally belonged to him.
When everyone saw this, they were also very envious, how nice it would be if these things were their own! It's a pity that the things were dug out of someone else's foundation, and they could only look at them to satisfy their hunger.
Although Lu Feiyu put everything away in time, this matter was still spread.
After all, there are a lot of people he has seen, and it is impossible for him to ask others not to say anything, and if it were him, he would not be able to keep his mouth shut.
Within a week, the whole village was in the know, and many people were curious about how much the contents of the box were worth.
Just when Lu Feiyu was a little worried, a person who claimed to be an antique dealer found him.
Under his self-introduction, Lu Feiyu knew that he was an antique dealer from Guangdong, named Yang Shuixin.
Yang Shuixin looked at Lu Feiyu and said: "I am also passing through Chengdu to play, I heard about you by chance in the neighborhood a few days ago, I heard from others, you built a house and dug up the treasure, I don't know if the little brother appreciates his face and let me see it? If the thing is really good, the price I offer will be satisfactory to you."
Lu Feiyu didn't know much about this, he was trying to find someone to identify something, since someone came to see it, it didn't have to be so troublesome.
It's also drowsy to meet the pillow, just right.
So, Lu Feiyu invited Yang Shuixin into the house, and after being polite, Lu Feiyu carried out the wooden box before.
Yang Shuixin looked at the dark black wooden box on the coffee table, and did not open it in a hurry, but looked at it carefully.
Then, he pointed to the wooden box and said: "Judging from the structure and decay of this box, the age of this thing should not be very far away, probably within a hundred years, and the ancestors of the little brother are doing well."
When Lu Feiyu heard this, he said with a smile: "My ancestors were in business in the Qing Dynasty, you should have heard of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, right? I heard the old people in my family say that in the past, there were elders in our family who were engaged in the business of tea and salt, and they often transported tea and salt from Zigong and Yungui to this side."
Yang Shuixin nodded when he heard this: "That little brother's ancestors are really good, and it was not ordinary people who could do this business in that era."
With that, Yang Shuixin opened the wooden box.
When he saw what was inside, his eyes lit up, he first picked up the copper coin and looked at it, and then his eyes shifted to the gold pot, and he didn't move his gaze for a long time.
After a while, Yang Shuixin said: "Little brother, these things of yours are not simple! I won't talk about these gold lumps, these things are worthless, you can take them to the gold shop and sell them for money."
"If you want to say anything valuable, it has to be these copper coins and this gold pot, no!
Those gold lumps, Lu Feiyu didn't have much hope, even if it was pure gold, that is, ordinary gold, it couldn't reach the attributes of antiques, even if it was gold hundreds of years ago, it couldn't buy antique prices, it could only be equal to its own value.
As for the gold pot and the copper coin, it is different.
Lu Feiyu asked: "What is the saying of this copper coin and gilt pot?"
He really doesn't understand these things, and he has checked a lot of information in the past few days, but antiques are not something that can be understood by looking at some information.
Yang Shuixin smiled when he heard this, and said: "Let's talk about these copper coins first, there are many types of copper coins in history, almost every dynasty has copper coins, I just looked at these copper coins, they are very messy, there are half taels of the early Han Dynasty, some of these copper coins are worth hundreds of thousands, some are worth hundreds of dollars, these are the Tang Dynasty, this kind of copper coins have a lot of money in the world, especially this one, the copper coins in the Guangxu period, there are many on the market now, and they are not worth anything."
"What you value here is these Han half taels, Han half two copper coins originated in the Qin Dynasty, when Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, he implemented the unification of currency, even in the Han Dynasty, the style of copper coins was also influenced by the Qin Dynasty."
"For example, this round square hole, and this square square hole are more valuable, if you want to sell, I am willing to bid 280,000 yuan to buy."
Lu Feiyu listened to Yang Shuixin's words, and did not immediately agree, but motioned for him to continue.
"What about the golden pot?"
When Yang Shuixin heard this, he smiled and said: "Little brother, in fact, to be honest, this thing is not pure gold, but gilded."
"Hammer gold?"
Lu Feiyu frowned when he heard this, what does gilding mean? He really didn't know.
Yang Shuixin nodded and said: "The so-called gilding, in fact, is a kind of craftsmanship, in layman's terms, you can see it as gold plating, but the process is more complex and more advanced."
Lu Feiyu understands this!
said: "That is to say, this golden pot is not pure gold!"
Yang Shuixin nodded and said: "That's right, this gold pot is not made of pure gold, in fact, it is not pure gold, you will know if you try the weight, if it is made of pure gold, its weight will never be like this, you can give it a try."
Yang Shuixin handed the golden pot to Lu Feiyu and asked him to try its weight himself, although Lu Feiyu didn't understand this, he could still feel the weight of the gold, and the weight of the golden pot was obviously wrong.
Yang Shuixin continued: "This golden pot, its body is copper, if I am not mistaken, this copper art is also good, but it is just a gilding technique."
When Lu Feiyu heard this, he asked, "Isn't this golden pot worthless?"
Yang Shuixin shook his head and said: "That's exactly not the case, although this copper kettle is said to be a gilding process, but this gilding process is not something you want to do, it requires a lot of skill, you look at the patterns and shapes on this copper kettle, such a beautiful thing, the price is definitely not cheap."
When Lu Feiyu heard this, he became interested again, and immediately asked, "Then how much can you give this thing?"
Yang Shuixin thought for a while and said, "Little brother, you look at this well, you pack these copper coins together, plus this copper kettle, how about I give you a million?"
"I heard that you are going to get married, how about you leave these gold bumps for your daughter-in-law to make a gold ring?"
"A million"?
When Lu Feiyu heard this, he almost jumped up with excitement.
Yang Shuixin was stunned when he saw this, smiled slightly and said, "What's the matter?
"To tell you the truth, little brother, I have told you so much today, and I also came with sincerity, this price is very high wherever you put it, if you don't believe it, you can go to other places and ask."
"If someone pays me this price, then you can sell it to him."
When Lu Feiyu heard this, he hurriedly said: "No, I'm not too little, since Boss Yang is so sincere, then I'll sell you these things!"
Yang Shuixin said, how could Lu Feiyu not know?
The antique industry is very deep, he doesn't know the situation, it is normal to be easily cheated by others, and the words Yang Shuixin said today are really sincere, if it is someone else, there is no need to say it to him so clearly.
He also saw that Yang Shuixin really wanted to buy it.
Maybe in other places, the price might be higher, but so what? He has no channels and no known antique dealers, so how to sell it is a difficult problem.
Since someone is willing to buy it, sell it.
Moreover, he is in dire need of money now.
After negotiating with Yang Shuixin, the next step is the transaction.
Lu Feiyu specially found a beautiful box for Yang Shuixin, and after the two reached a deal, they went to the city together, and Yang Shuixin did transfer the money to him.
When Lu Feiyu saw the string of zeros in his mobile phone, he couldn't help pinching his thighs, and after finding that it was really painful, he knew that the money really belonged to him.
With this money, he increased the budget of the previous one floor to three floors.
Lu Feiyu is not a person who picks the door, he gave joy money to everyone who saw things that day, and one person gave a red envelope of 2,000 yuan.
Especially the excavator master, he also specially gave an extra thousand yuan.
If he hadn't been invited to dig the foundation, he probably wouldn't have found out that there was a treasure hidden underneath.
A few days later, he and the excavator master dug again in front of the ancestral house, and after finding no other treasures, he was also a little disappointed.
It seems that the ancestor only buried one before.
With money, the progress of Lu Feiyu's new house was very fast, and it was completely completed in less than a year, and with the decoration, a total of more than 700,000 yuan was spent.
A year later.
Lu Feiyu's mother, Xu Mei, hurriedly found him.
"Feiyu, I have something to tell you when you come here."
When Lu Feiyu heard this, he asked, "Why are you so flustered?"
When Xu Mei heard this, she sighed and said: "Your father died last night, and he left a last word, saying that he wants to return to his roots, you are his son, I think we should take him back!
When Lu Feiyu heard this, he said with some excitement: "Mom, he left our mother and son to go out, and he has not heard from him for more than ten years, and later he found a woman to be his wife.
When Xu Mei heard this, she sighed: "Feiyu, I know that you have always hated your father all these years, but so many years have passed, and he was forced to be helpless when he married that woman, you were still young and didn't understand at that time, and I didn't tell you."
"I think he is forgetting his righteousness."
Lu Feiyu was still very unhappy.
Xu Mei said with some displeasure: "What does he say is also your father, you are not allowed to talk about him like this, you don't know what happened back then, your father went to work back then, if it weren't for your Aunt Luo, he would have drowned in the river a long time ago."
When Lu Feiyu heard this, he said with some surprise: "Why didn't I know about this"?
When Xu Mei heard this, she sighed: "Originally, I didn't want to mention it again, but you have such a knot in your heart, I'll tell you about it!"
Under Xu Mei's explanation, Lu Feiyu realized that his parents divorced back then, and his mother Xu Mei took the initiative to propose it, and also took the initiative to leave his father, which made his father Luda feel guilty all his life and couldn't forgive himself.
It turned out that Lu Feiyu's father Lu Da went south to work, and accidentally fell into the river when he went fishing with others, if it wasn't for a woman to save him, Lu Da might not have come back.
But because of this, Lu Feiyu's father lost his memory and couldn't remember who he was, he married the woman, had children, and started a family.
But he forgot that he still had a home.
This incident lasted for more than ten years, until fifteen years ago, Luda accidentally hit his head, and after going to the hospital to rescue him, he inexplicably had an extra memory in his head, relying on this memory He found it back, Xu Mei was surprised and happy when she saw Luda again.
But when she learned that her husband had started a family and was doing well, she resolutely divorced Ruda and said that she didn't want to delay Ruda's happiness.
Lu Feiyu, who didn't know it, was still young at that time, and when he was a child, others kept saying that he didn't have a father, but now his father finally came to the door and learned that he already had a family.
Because of this, he was ridiculed by other peers, and his jealousy towards Ruda became deeper and deeper, so that even now he still refuses to forgive his father for what he did back then.
But after hearing his mother's explanation, he was stunned for a moment.
Because he learned that his expenses over the years, including the cost of going to college, were actually given by his father, which made him suddenly have an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It turned out that the reason why the mother did this was to avoid suspicion and not affect his father's career.
Although Lu Feiyu had some doubts in his heart, he still went to the hospital with his mother because of his mother's pleading.
It wasn't until he went to the hospital that he realized that his father had been living in the city all these years, rented a house for himself, and developed some industries here.
The place where his father lived, he also came for the first time, and under the leadership of his mother Xu Mei, he met his half-sister and the aunt Luo he hated.
Luda has passed away, and Lu Feiyu is no longer a child, he didn't bring his emotions over, and he didn't have too many cold faces after meeting, for him, it was just this time.
Because Luda wants to return to his roots, Lu Feiyu needs to pack up his relics, and at the funeral, these relics need to be taken back to his hometown and burned.
But just as he was packing up his belongings, he saw something very familiar in a box.
A bunch of copper coins with a copper kettle.
Didn't he dig this thing out of his ancestral home?
Immediately afterwards, he found a piece of paper next to him, on which some words were densely written, and Lu Feiyu picked it up and realized that it was a suicide note left to him by his father Luda.
After reading the suicide note, Lu Feiyu realized that the copper kettle and copper coin were fake, and the box he dug out was something he had buried in his ancestral house in his hometown before, including the Yang Shuixin who came to him to buy things, which was also arranged by him.
The reason why he did this was to give the money to Lu Feiyu, because he knew that Lu Feiyu would not accept him, and if he gave Lu Feiyu money to build a house, Lu Feiyu would definitely not ask for it.
So, he came up with such a solution.
The contents of the box, only the golden pimples are real, and the suicide note said that those golden pimples were left for Lu Feiyu to give his daughter-in-law hardware, and the one million was the money he prepared for Lu Feiyu to build a house.
Seeing this, Lu Feiyu was silent and silent for a long time.
He didn't expect that all this of his own was arranged by his father, he bought fake things, and invited someone to act in a play.
What was left for him was true.
