Early the next morning, Gu Beizhi left the house with a burden, and after Guan Zhou sent him away for a while, he went to Uncle Guan's house with a burden similar to Gu Beizhi's.

Gu Beizhi came to the store and was about to open the door when Mr. Zheng came in a carriage, looking very eager, "Master Gu, would you like to go this way?"

"Master Zheng, wait a moment, I will bring You can go with your luggage." Gu Beizhi hurriedly took his luggage and toolbox, locked the identification room, and got into Zheng Gongzi's carriage.

Before he could fully sit down, the coachman whipped the horse's back and started the carriage, causing Gu Beizhi to almost fall over. Fortunately, he grabbed the bottom edge of the carriage's window in time.

"Sorry, I have to rush to Liuxian County. I have to work hard all the way, Master Gu." Master Zheng apologized to him.

Gu Beizhi could only say that it was okay, feeling the bumpy feeling of galloping all the way.

They hurriedly hurried, compressing a lot of the day's journey, and rushed to Liuxian at the time of Xu. After entering Liuxian, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and Gu Beizhi and Zheng Gongzi were extremely tired.

No one can take such a bumpy ride. If it hadn't been for a while to stop the horse to repair, it is estimated that the horses would be exhausted.

The Zheng Mansion in Liuxian County was very imposing. Master Zheng's carriage went straight in through the back door, very low-key. Gu Beizhi thought he didn't want to be known, but only after getting out of the car did he realize that it was only because the Zheng family's carriage was in the Not far from the back door.

"Eldest young master, you have worked hard all the way, and the second master is waiting for the first young master in the study." A man who looked like a housekeeper, followed by four or five servants, came forward to greet Mr. Zheng.

"I'll go right now, where's Grandpa?" Mr. Zheng stretched his muscles and bones, and he felt like he was about to fall apart after working on a carriage for a day.

Gu Beizhi was not as good as him. His face was pale and his steps were sluggish. If he hadn't been exercising for four months, he would have fainted now.

"The old man went for a walk in the garden, and the third master is with him." The housekeeper answered truthfully.

Zheng Gongzi sneered, "I am the third uncle, but I am filial." After the event was over, Zheng Gongzi took Gu Beizhi to see his second uncle.

When the butler saw that he had finished his activities, he waved his hand, and the servants rushed over with stools, "Second Master knows that the eldest young master is tired, so he deliberately let the youngest carry the sedan chair."

Said it was a sedan chair, but it was more like two long sticks tied to it. A chair with a backrest and armrests, commonly seen in mountain scenic spots in later generations.

There were exactly two sedan chairs. It seemed that the housekeeper had long known that Mr. Zheng would bring someone to the mansion, but Mr. Zheng refused directly. He had been a carriage for a day, and now he wanted to take a walk down-to-earth.

Gu Beizhi had the same idea as him. At this time, he just wanted to use his feet to feel the solidity of the earth. Seeing Mr. Zheng's rejection, Gu Beizhi also breathed a sigh of relief.

The two walked to Master Zheng Er's study. Master Zheng Er didn't look alike to Master Zheng. Master Zheng had a typical national character face with sword-brow eyebrows, and the thick eyebrows and big eyes were just like him.

Mr. Zheng Er has a more feminine appearance, soft facial lines, and a height of only 1.7 meters. In front of Zheng Gongzi and Gu Beizhi, who are about 1.85 meters, he is a little too thin.

"Come here?" Master Zheng Er's voice was completely different from that of Young Master Zheng, it was clear and tactful.

"Second Uncle, this is the appraisal master I invited. Gu Bei knows Master Gu, and I will ask him to help us take a good look at the horse tomorrow." Zheng Gongzi obviously has a very good relationship with his second uncle.

Uncle Zheng glanced at Gu Beizhi carefully and asked, "Are you the new appraiser from Baoyixuan in Huolu Town?"

Although it was a question, Uncle Zheng's tone was soft, not tough, but more like a kindly questioning elder.

Gu Beizhi was inexplicably jealous of Uncle Zheng. He always felt that there was something strange about this man, and it was not good to say that he was a motherfucker, but his appearance and voice were really feminine.

"Yes, Gu Mou came to Baoyixuan four months ago." Gu Beizhi suppressed the fear in his heart and answered carefully.

"Well, tomorrow you and Xing'an will go to see the old man together. If you ask, you will say that it is Xing'an's friend in Huolu Town. The greatest hobby in his life is to collect porcelain from various dynasties and generations. I learned that the old man has a new horse moon. Flying up the porcelain ornaments, I specially came to see and see."

Second Uncle Zheng made up a reason, and Gu Beizhi said that he had written it down.

After a few more words, he asked the servant to take him to the guest room to rest. The uncle and nephew had something to say.

On the way, Mr. Zheng also talked to Gu Beizhi about the special features of this appraisal. Mr. Zheng's father and Uncle Zheng were brothers of the same mother. One stayed in Liuxian to keep the family business, and the other went out to open a shop.

The grain store in Huolu Town is just one of their grain stores. On weekdays, Zheng Gongzi takes care of it alone.

Originally, the brothers were deeply in love, one guarded and the other pioneered, and the event was a good thing, but this old man Zheng also has a third son, the third son is the son of a concubine. When the old man dies, the family property can only be divided into less than 10%.

This Zheng San was not convinced, and often courted the old man, defrauding the old man of his private money.

The number of times he succeeded, and seeing that the two elder brothers in his head did not matter, his ambition became more and more inflated, but he had no ability, so he could only try his best to please the old man.

The year before last, he finally let the old man let go and promised to leave him all his private money and give him 50,000 taels of cash. This was also discussed by Mr. Zheng with the eldest and second sons.

There are only three brothers in their family. Although they don't usually like him very much, Master Zheng and Master Zheng also follow their father's wishes. After all, the real valuables are already in their hands.

But this third master is a person who is not greedy enough to swallow an elephant. With the assurance of Mr. Zheng, he treats Mr. Zheng's private treasury as his own, and usually tries every means to get it into his own pocket.

Not to mention giving Mr. Zheng a piece of valuable china, even if he buys a plate, Mr. Zheng has to give him some stickers. It is best to get it from the eldest and second brothers.

So he suddenly sent a precious piece of porcelain, which caught the attention of Mr. Zheng Er, and found that his father's expression was gradually a little wrong, but he couldn't find the problem. The only thing that was not checked was the porcelain.

But the old man was very precious and refused to show it to the appraiser at all. That's why Mr. Zheng found Gu Beizhi, because Gu Beizhi was too young. If he hadn't seen his skills, no one would have believed that he was a good eye. Appraiser.

It turned out that it was exactly as they thought, Gu Beizhi changed into the woven silk and satin clothes of Young Master Zheng, and went to see Old Master Zheng with Young Master Zheng.

Not only did Mr. Zheng not doubt Gu Beizhi's identity, but when he heard that he was a scholar, he quietly asked his eldest grandson to interact with him more, and to help Gu Beizhi more often.

Zheng Gongzi agreed immediately and said to the old man, "Grandpa, don't you worry about my work? Beizhi and I can get along very well, especially he also likes jade and porcelain, but Beizhi is willing to come and play with me. Thanks to Grandpa's horse jumping into the air."

Mr. Zheng told Mr. Zheng that Gu Beizhi likes to appreciate porcelain, Mr. Zheng immediately asked people to move the heart in his bedroom, so that Gu Beizhi could see enough.

Zheng Gongzi didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but then he thought about it, Gu Beizhi was already a scholar at a young age, and it was very likely that he would be promoted in the examination later, even if he was a jinshi or the first.

Now to win over him while he is still in his fortune, it will naturally cost nothing to win him over when he becomes an official later.

Many merchants will make friends with talents and talents, which is an alternative investment. As long as one of them has a smooth career in the future, they can naturally climb the relationship.

Those who are poor and do not have to take the test are more liked by merchants. They can subsidize a travel fee, no more than 22 per person at most, but if one person passes the test, they can be bound for a lifetime.

Merchant will not do anything without benefit.

Mr. Zheng asked someone to bring up the 30-centimeter-high porcelain, and the servant even covered a piece of cloth and put it on the table between the three of them.

The servant gently opened the cloth. This is a treasure. If it breaks a little, he won't want to live.

In order to show his eagerness to love porcelain, Gu Beizhi also hurriedly stood by the table, intending to watch it up close for the first time.

It's just that when the fabric was lifted and Gu Beizhi saw Ma Yue's vacant porcelain ornament for the first time, he almost fell to his knees and covered his eyes with his gloved hands.

"Hmm!"

Gu Beizhi cried out in pain and immediately restrained himself, covering his eyes with his hands, his expression painful. At that moment, his eyes could only see a patch of scarlet, and there was a severe tingling.

Forcing him to take a step back, for fear of accidentally falling over and knocking over the table, the covered eyes slowly improved, and it took a while for him to feel the tingling sensation disappear.

Zheng Gongzi held his arm and supported him, "What's the matter?"

Gu Beizhi didn't bother to answer, until after the stinging pain disappeared, he opened his eyes and waved his hands to say it was okay, and then moved his eyes slowly to the On the table.

The smart and exquisite Ma Yue was still on the table, but Gu Beizhi couldn't see its beauty at all, his eyes were still red, and the words were huge, "Be careful of poisoning"

Gu Beizhi closed his eyes and opened them again . Open, repeated several times, and finally the identification result was finally found by him.

'Name: Ma Yue vacated ornament'

'Type: pottery'

skipped the middle section of the results, and went directly to the bottom appraisal evaluation.

"Appraisal: This is a pottery unearthed from a tomb 300 years ago. The surface enamel is poisonous, and it will be fatal if exposed to it for 30 consecutive days."

Tomb robbers, this is a group of people that can't be avoided in any dynasty. This group of people is daring , find the tomb and go down, and the funerary goods that are taken out are circulated to the market through special channels.

In order to prevent their tombs from being stolen, many aristocratic families, nobles, officials or wealthy businessmen will design some organs in the tombs, and some of them will smear poison on the grave goods.

Generally, they are potent poisons, but this horse and moon take off is different. This is a pottery. Pottery and porcelain are not the same, and pottery can be coated with a special enamel, which will continuously volatilize in the air and be toxic to the human body.

"Master Zheng, this is not porcelain." Gu Beizhi looked ugly, "This is a pottery for a funeral."

"Huh?" Zheng Gongzi was confused, "Then you just...?"

Gu Beizhi took out a handkerchief Covering his mouth and nose, "This pottery is poisonous. Even if it is not touched, it is placed in the room. However, a person will become seriously ill in a month, and the severe person may die without treatment."

"What are you saying?"

" Nonsense!"

Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zheng spoke at the same time, obviously they didn't believe it, but Gu Beizhi didn't plan to stay with the poison for a long time. "If you don't believe it, you can soak the pottery in water for a day, and then ask the boss to see it."

After speaking, he immediately Go out and open all the doors and windows of the room, "Master Zheng, Mrs. Zheng, you should come out first. Although it's not a big problem for a while, don't take it lightly."

The author has something to say: the temperature of porcelain firing is higher than that of pottery It should be higher, and the time of firing pottery in our country started about 13,000 years ago. I have seen a lot of unearthed pottery and admired the wisdom of human beings at that time. The success of porcelain is also due to the rich pottery of our ancestors. experience. The goblins really think that the ancients may be more wise than the modern people who enjoy the convenience of intelligence. At that time, they really had no conditions, only one pair of hands, but they created many objects that are very delicate and complex now.
