After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

Tong Jia had no idea that she was almost going to meet Yang Jixia.

In fact, the task that Yang Jixia received temporarily was somewhat related to Tong Jia.

Ever since Tong Jia got the five Guanjin coupons left to her by Yuan Shengnan, she had the idea of going to the antique market to take a look.

The current customs gold coupons have just been issued. Their full name is "Customs Gold Unit Exchange Voucher". They will circulate in the market together with legal tender in the future, but now they can only be used when paying at customs.

Tong Jia had seen this in her previous life, on a coin collection explanation program.

Have a general understanding of the background of its use.

It was this little understanding that made her think of something very, very important.

That is, the era she arrived in was 1930, and the city she was in was Tianjin.

At that time, the last emperor happened to be living in Tianjin. In order to support the huge expenses and maintain the dignity of the royal family, he sold a large number of rare antiques brought out of the palace.

These things are absolutely not adulterated and are guaranteed to be authentic. You will not receive fakes even if you buy them with your eyes closed.

How could Tong Jia let go of such a good opportunity to pick up a bargain?

Of course, there is another reason, which is that the benefits should be kept within the family.

On the day she delivered the penicillin, she exceeded the time limit to enter the RV, so she didn't have time to check what was in the boxes of the Japanese people that were accidentally taken away.

The next day, I had to rush to work because I hadn't finished my work in the library.

It wasn't until the third day, when she was about to take Tao Junle to the RV to read after dinner as usual, that she remembered it.

She immediately pulled Tao Junle to check the contents of the boxes one by one. There were twenty-seven boxes in total, three boxes of large yellow croaker, four boxes of exquisitely crafted jewelry made of gold, silver, jewels and jade, five boxes of scrolls and paintings, five boxes of porcelain vase ornaments and ten boxes of priceless rare medicinal materials.

Apart from the ten boxes of medicinal herbs that both Tong Jia and Tao Junle were interested in, the two also had different hobbies in other things.

Tong Jia likes yellow croaker and jewelry, while Tao Junle is fascinated by scrolls, calligraphy and paintings, and porcelain vase ornaments.

From the moment she opened the first painting, Tong Jia could clearly feel that if Tao Junle could speak, he would probably tell her the history and identification methods of those antiques, calligraphy and paintings one by one.

Tao Junle's actual age is thirteen, no, he just had his birthday last month, so he should be fourteen. Tong Jia doesn't think he can really understand the value of those antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

I asked, "Seeing how you can't let go of it, can you read it? Can you understand it?"

Tao Junle nodded and then shook his head.

Tong Jia was frustrated and asked again, "If you can, you can. If you can't, you can't. You nod and shake your head again. Are you being falsely modest with me?"

Tao Junle waved his hand, took a step forward, walked to the small table, picked up a pen and paper and started writing.

It turned out that since they knew that Tao Junle was not tall, both Tao Junle's father and mother wanted to teach him everything they knew so that he would be able to make a living in the future.

Tao Junle's mother was influenced by her grandfather who was very fond of antiques, calligraphy and paintings since she was a child and is also very knowledgeable in this area.

Before his death, he tried his best to tell Tao Junle everything he knew, and wrote down what he didn't have time to say.

When he just lost his mother, Tao Junle missed her so much that he read the things she left behind every day. Although the handwritten letter had fallen into the pond when he was kicked out of the house by his uncle, the content had been engraved in Tao Junle's heart and he would never forget it.

In addition, although Tao Junle's father also wanted to teach his son everything he had learned throughout his life, the things he knew were relatively profound and could not be achieved overnight.

After much thought, the wise father decided to teach his son foreign languages.

In this way, even if both of them are gone in the future, and the son cannot take over the family business and does not want to show up in public often due to image issues, he can still rely on his knowledge of multiple foreign languages to do some written translation work.

Therefore, Tao Junle not only learned antique appreciation from his mother, but also learned languages of many countries from his father.

Although he has different levels of knowledge, his current level can basically ensure that he will not be cheated when appreciating antiques. He can write English, French, Japan and the Soviet language fluently.

Although this is to some extent due to the fact that there is not so much technology and hard work involved in antique counterfeiting, Tong Jia still admires this skill.

I was especially impressed when I saw Tao Junle write: "If my father hadn't died early, I would have already finished learning German and started studying other subjects."

Well, although this kid can't speak now, he doesn't know how to restrain himself when he is being so Versailles.

She increasingly felt that her decision to keep Tao Junle by her side was the right one.

Tong Jia laughed foolishly for a while, and suddenly remembered that when she was packing the boxes that day, those Japanese people said a lot of things.

Tong Jia, who originally thought it didn't matter if she couldn't understand, realized that Tao Junle could not only identify antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but also understand the languages of several countries. How could she leave herself with this regret?

Just adjust one of the four surveillance screens to that time and let Tao Junle listen to what the Japanese people said.

When Tao Junle heard this, his face changed.

After listening to it, he wrote with a serious face: [Sister, they want to transport all the treasures of China to Fuso.

What you brought back is only a small portion, hidden away by the leader of that team. The vast majority of the treasures are in the warehouse and will soon be shipped to the dock and loaded onto a ship bound for Fusang.

"Then why did they dig a pit and then a small pit next to it?" Tong Jia's face looked ugly and angry, but she was powerless and could only hope that the other pit had other secrets.

But the result disappointed her.

Tao Junle wrote: [Those Japanese people originally wanted to dig a secret passage to make it easier for them to go to the warehouse to take things in the future, but someone reminded them that if they dug the secret passage entrance so close to the place where things were hidden, they would be caught red-handed, so they stopped digging there.

Fortunately, sister, you came back directly after taking the things that day, otherwise it would have been very dangerous. They must have gone up the mountain specifically for these things and the secret passage.

It was truly a blessing from God that I didn't encounter them head-on! 】

The only abnormal point was not a breakthrough point, which made Tong Jia a little frustrated.

After thinking about it over and over all night, Tong Jia finally decided that it would be better to leave professional matters to professionals.

Although she also thought about going to the place shown in the surveillance video and waiting, she would sooner or later find the warehouse where the Japanese stored the national treasures of China.

But she is a student now, and she can't keep asking for leave. After a long time, the teachers and the principal will come to her, and she really can't think of a reason to explain to the school.

Also, her ability is limited, and the space in the RV is also limited. Although things can be piled on the roof, it is impossible to accommodate a warehouse full of antiques.

In order to promptly reduce the loss of national treasures overseas, Tong Jia decided to seek foreign aid.

So she told Gao Chong the news.

The excuse was that I heard it from the family of a Japanese translator when I went shopping outside the school. I don’t know whether it is true or not, but I am heartbroken about the loss of national treasures.

Gao Chong almost immediately went to find her superior. Once the news was verified, the organization began to dispatch personnel to rescue the national treasure.

This just happened to make Yang Jixia and Tong Jia miss the opportunity to meet formally.

Tong Jia also felt that this was a rare opportunity. It happened that her teacher changed the schedule, which gave her two days off from classes.

She couldn't wait to take Tao Junle with her and take action.

These two days, she directly asked Tao Junle for two days off, using the excuse of taking him to see a doctor for his throat.

After leaving school, Tong Jia took Tao Junle to live in a hotel near the ghost market.

Because the ghost market is usually held in the late night, after checking in at the hotel on the morning of the first day, Tong Jia took Tao Junle on a tour of Tianjin during the Republic of China period.

Basically, we visited all the most distinctive attractions in Tianjin and tasted all the delicious food. If we came across something we particularly liked, we would take turns going back three times to buy several portions.

Anyway, nothing in the RV would be damaged, so Tong Jia directly put the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and jade into the storage compartment under the second-floor bed of the RV.

The boxes containing these items are made of ordinary materials and have no collection value.

Last night, she and Tao Junle worked together to remove the lids of fifteen boxes, and then placed them sideways in groups of five by the windows on the second floor, forming a special lattice cabinet.

Apart from the ten boxes of medicinal herbs, only the lids of two boxes were left unopened, retaining their functions as a precaution for future emergencies.

This lattice cabinet is where Tong Jia stores Tianjin's special snacks and souvenirs.

After strolling and eating for the whole morning, Tong Jia had basically figured out the specific time and codes for transactions in the ghost market.

After lunch, Tong Jia took Tao Junle to different antique shops in Tianjin to broaden his horizons and test his ability to appreciate and appraise antiques.

In order to avoid attracting excessive attention, Tongjia does not ask about the price at every store.

After asking four or five companies intermittently, Tao Junle's valuation was not much different from the store's quotation, and she truly realized Tao Junle's ability.

After opening his eyes and seeing the world, in order to have a better chance of finding bargains at the ghost market, Tong Jia took Tao Junle back to the hotel early.

They need to conserve their energy and go to the ghost market in high spirits.

In fact, there is no need to set an alarm, as it seems that most of the guests staying in this hotel are going to the ghost market.

Hearing the sounds of doors opening and closing in the surrounding rooms, Tong Jia and Tao Junle also stood up and followed.

Although Tong Jia watched a lot of treasure appraisal programs in modern times, she had never come into contact with any antiques. This was the first time she saw so many real antiques except for visiting a museum.

Yes, she pretended to be calm as she walked back and forth in the ghost market, but the hand holding Tao Junle betrayed her.

In particular, Tao Junle wrote on her palm: [50% are authentic, 20% are collectible imitations, and the remaining 30% are fakes.]

It wasn't until they met two beardless, middle-aged men that her hand tremors turned from excitement to anger.

As soon as these two beardless middle-aged men spoke, their identities were exposed: they were eunuchs.

Not only does he speak in a shrill and thin voice, but he also likes to use long tones.

It was clearly just an ordinary wooden barrel, but these two people insisted that it was the emperor's toilet barrel and asked the stall owner to give them three hundred dollars.

The stall owner didn't want to pay attention to them, but they even went further and said that if the stall owner refused to accept the goods, he would be disrespecting the royal family and they would chop off his head.

Tong Jia was so angry that she wanted to slap these two shameless people twice.

But it’s definitely not allowed in public.

In order to vent her anger by beating them up, Tong Jia took the initiative to step forward when they were about to overturn the stall and said, "I want that toilet.

Let's find a quiet place to discuss the transaction now.

Besides this barrel, do you have any other items for the queen or concubines? If so, we can discuss the subsequent transactions together."

The two eunuchs themselves could hardly believe what they had just heard.

Both of them felt as if they were listening to heavenly music and their ears were temporarily clear.

The two men let go of the stall owner's collar, and after confirming with Tong Jia that she really wanted it, they took Tong Jia and her to a small courtyard near Quanyechang as if they were familiar with the place.

Not long after entering, Tao Junle wrote on Tong Jia's palm: "Sister, there is only one thing in this room that is more valuable than everything we saw at the ghost market just now."

They had something more valuable to sell, but instead sold two worthless toilets. It was really ugly how these two eunuchs tried to enrich themselves.

Even if it was really used by the emperor, it is just an ordinary wooden barrel and is not worth that much money at all.

As soon as Tong Jia entered the room, she used itching powder on the two of them.

The drug took effect at the right time. At the critical moment when the two eunuchs wanted to knock them out, turn Tao Junle into a eunuch as well, and leave Tong Jia to be tortured and imprisoned, the two eunuchs suddenly lay on the ground and rolled around because they felt itchy but couldn't figure out what was going on.

Tong Jia then coaxed them into telling the truth by using the antidote.

It turned out that the small courtyard they were in was bought by the two eunuchs as a place for their retirement.

The things in the room were either taken from the emperor or given to them by nobles in the palace.

They understood the value of those things and wanted to possess them for themselves.

Therefore, in addition to frequently taking things home from the palace in Tianjin, when nobles in the palace entrusted them to sell jewelry, they would either steal the goods or inflate the prices.

Over the past two years, the assets of the two of them can be said to be more than those of the nobles in the palace.

After finding out where the things were hidden, Tong Jia gave the two eunuchs forgetfulness powder and sleeping pills.

After that, she and Tao Junle began to search the house frantically.

Tong Jia felt that if she left the antique behind, the two of them would not be able to protect it, so it would be better for her to keep it for herself.

She only took away antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and large jade ornaments.

She left the other things of the two eunuchs where they were.

No matter what, it is a fact that these two people are physically disabled, but the friendship of supporting each other and living together in this troubled time is much better than that of some couples who run away separately when disaster strikes.

After collecting the things in the small courtyard, Tong Jia was worried that the night would be long and might cause more trouble, so she took Tao Junle back to the school dormitory that night.
