Jianbao life

Chapter 155 Coins

When Aunt Lu gave birth to Lu Fuquan, she had dystocia and hemorrhage. Because of the poor conditions, she never made up for it. As a result, her health has been poor since then, and she can't do heavy farm work. She can only do housework at home.

Seeing this, Lu Fuquan quickly persuaded: "Mother, don't say such depressing words now, or Chunni will be sad again when she hears it."

Chu Chen also comforted: "Ma'am, don't think too much, I will definitely find a good hospital for my sister-in-law, and heal her leg completely."

Aunt Lu said excitedly when she heard the words: "Son Chen, you are such a good person, I really don't know how to thank you! Wait, you guys eat first, I'll go get something." At the end, Aunt Lu didn't know what to think of. What, greeted Chu Chen and the others, and hurried to her room.

Because of the long walk in the afternoon, Chu Chen felt very hungry, let alone Chu Yulan. After a while, the two ate up their respective big bowls of rice.

Seeing that the two of them were eating so happily, Lu Fuquan also had a smile on his face, and said, "Sister Chen, do you want to add some more?"

Although Chu Chen can indeed eat a little more, but there are only so many dishes, Aunt Lu and the others haven't eaten yet, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "Brother Fuquan, no need, I only eat so much at home."

Chu Yulan is a girl, if she hadn't walked too much, she wouldn't be able to eat that much, so she shook her head and said, "I'm full too."

"By the way, son Chen, this girl is a younger sibling, right? You've been here for so long, why didn't you introduce me?" Lu Fuquan asked with a smile.

When Chu Yulan heard this, she looked at Chu Chen with a slightly nervous expression.Seeing this, Chu Chen secretly sighed, and could only reply: "Brother Fuquan, you are overthinking, this is my sister, Chu Yulan."

Hearing this, Chu Yulan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

When Lu Fuquan heard this promise, he couldn't help being stunned, and said in surprise: "Sister? Chen, you belong to the same family?"

Seeing Chu Chen nod his head, Lu Fuquan couldn't help but said in surprise, "My son Chen, congratulations, Uncle Guomin's wish for many years has finally come true."

Although Chu Chen felt a little awkward in his heart, he still nodded in agreement.

At this time, Aunt Lu came out of the room and asked, "What is finished?"

Lu Fuquan explained with a smile on his face: "Mother, Chen Wazi's family has been found, and this girl is his younger sister."

Hearing this news, Aunt Lu couldn't help but feel happy for Chu Chen: "Okay, son Chen, you are a good person and you will be rewarded! Here, this is for you. You have helped our family so much. We have nothing to give According to the report, although this thing is not worth a few dollars, it can be regarded as a little bit of our heart."

With that said, Aunt Lu handed a small cloth bag to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen quickly declined and said, "Ma'am, I can't take this."

Aunt Lu forced the cloth bag into Chu Chen's hands, and said, "Son Chen, these things are left by my old man, they are some ancient coins. I heard from Quanzi before that you just mess around with these old things. I thought about it." , You should be able to use some of these things."

"Ma'am, let me take a look first."

When the cloth bag was in his hand, he felt a little heavy in his hand, and it didn't feel like ordinary banknotes, which made Chu Chen feel a little interested.

Opening the cloth bag, Chu Chen carefully poured the contents on the table, and stared at it, all of them were from the Xinmang period!
"One knife equals five thousand" is a kind of knife coin minted in the late Western Han Dynasty and the Xinmang period. It is divided into two parts: the ring handle and the blade body. The ring handle is a round coin with a square hole. ", the word is engraved in Yin, the word is filled with gold, and it is polished to make the word face flush with the money face.

There are three characters of "Ping Wuqian" cast on the body of the knife, among which "Ping" means "value", which means that the value of a knife coin is equal to five thousand.It is worth noting that the shape of this knife coin is unique, and it does not stick to the shape of knife coins in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods at all.Guzhuo stable, and revealed a beautiful atmosphere.

The five-character inscription on the face of the coin "one knife equals five thousand" is smooth, vivid and not sluggish, inheriting the characteristics of the inscription on the face of the coin in the Warring States Period "one stroke".

"Brother, is this also a coin? Why does it look like a key?" Chu Yulan asked curiously as she looked at the knife on the table equaling five thousand.

Aunt Lu took the words and said: "That's right, isn't money in ancient times all round like that? I said it wasn't money at the beginning, but my old man said it was money, saying that it was very rare, and he asked me to put it away carefully." , maybe it will come in handy in the future.”

Chu Chen chuckled, and said, "This is money, also called a knife-shaped coin, and its name is "one knife equals five thousand". As the name suggests, this knife-shaped coin has the value of five thousand "five-plant" copper coins."

Hearing this, Chu Yulan said in surprise: "Brother, do you mean that this thing is really valuable?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Of course it is precious. This currency was minted after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. Think about it, Wang Mang has only been in power for 16 years. One can imagine."

"Moreover, the casting process used in this currency is very exquisite. The material used in the whole body is an alloy, and there are two words "one knife" cast in gold on the knife coin. All of them are made of real gold, so this This kind of currency is also called "golden wrong knife".

After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, not only Chu Yulan was amazed, but Aunt Lu's mother and son were also stunned. They didn't expect that the things they had hidden for decades were really good things.

The coins in front of Chu Chen are indeed very precious, because Xinmang coins have slender writing, exquisite workmanship, and many types of coins. , the production is relatively poor, the outline of the fine ones is beveled, and the strokes are thin and straight.

In the bag, there are ten coins worth five thousand. The words on each coin are very clear, and they are all carefully crafted. The wrong gold is also intact, and it is very well preserved, which is quite rare.

After looking through all the coins, Chu Chen said, "Ma'am, I can't accept such expensive things, or else, I'll buy them."

Aunt Lu waved her hands repeatedly when she heard the words, and said, "How can I do this, I..."

Chu Chen interrupted Aunt Lu, and said with a sincere face: "Auntie, listen to me, this thing is really precious. If you must give it to me, I can't accept it. In this way, I will give it to you one by one." Buy it for 8000 yuan, what do you think?"

"How many?"

Hearing the price Chu Chen said, Mrs. Lu showed disbelief all over her face.

Lu Fuquan also said with a full face of disbelief: "Sister Chen, you are not lying to us, is it worth 8000 yuan for just such a thing?"

Chu Chen said affirmatively: "Brother Fuquan, it's 8000 yuan each, how could I lie to you?"

Aunt Lu was not happy when she heard Chu Chen's affirmative answer, but cried bitterly: "I'm so old-fashioned, I've listened to the old man's words, Chunni won't have to suffer so much!"

Lu Fuquan hurriedly comforted: "Mother, don't cry, we don't know much about this thing, how could we know that such a small thing is so valuable. Besides, even if you sell it in the city, you will still sell it. Not at the price Chenwazi offered, Chenwazi, don’t you think so?”

After Chu Chen heard the words, he nodded repeatedly.

Even so, Aunt Lu said with tears streaming down her face: "Even if you can't sell this money, there is always [-] to [-], and Chunni can have the operation at that time. Delayed!"

Shi Shi is the eldest of Lu Fu's family. According to a fortune teller when he was a child, he lacked soil in the five elements, so he was named Lu Lei, nicknamed Shi Shi.

Lu Lei's academic performance has always been very good. According to his grades, he could go to high school and even become the No.1 college student in Lujia Village. However, because of this incident, he had to choose to go out to work. The pain in Fuquan's family.

Hearing Aunt Lu's sad appearance, Chu Chen also tried to persuade her: "Ma'am, things are already like this now, so you can take it easy. As for Shitou's studies, anyway, when he dropped out of school last semester, it was almost the end of the semester, and now he still needs to pay attention to it." School didn't start, so it's too late to call him back."

"Besides, with 8 yuan now, my sister-in-law definitely won't need that much for surgery. The remaining money is enough to buy supplements for my sister-in-law or the tuition fees for my two children."

When Aunt Lu heard this, her face brightened immediately, and she hurriedly told Lu Fuquan, "Okay, let's do it like this, Quanzi, you can call Aping tomorrow and call Shito back."

Lu Fuquan quickly nodded in agreement.

Originally, Chu Chen wanted to call Lu Fuquan with his mobile phone, but he immediately realized that there is no mobile phone base station here, so there should be no signal.He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. As expected, there was no signal at all, so he had no choice but to put the mobile phone back.

Let alone mobile phones in Lujia Village, even making a phone call is very troublesome, because there is no base station for the phone, even if you have money, you can’t install a phone. If you want to make a phone call, you can only walk for half a day. Go to town to fight.

Although the new school has a phone call, it is not a public phone after all. Even if you can make calls, the parents of the students will not be ashamed to use the phone there.

"Brother Fuquan, let's make a contract, but as for the money, I can only give it to you tomorrow."

Lu Fuquan shook his head and said, "Son Chen, what kind of contract should I make? I still don't believe you."

"Brother Fuquan, it's not a question of whether you believe it or not. Let me tell you this. We signed a contract to prove that I bought this thing from your house." Chu Chen simply explained to him.

"Oh~"

Lu Fuquan nodded suddenly, and said, "Sister Chen, after signing the contract, it can prove that you didn't get it through illegal channels, right?"
