Antique Dealer

Chapter 274 Sudden Accident

As the car set off, Fang Hao noticed that Shang Xiaoxuan was about to speak, and said first: "You want to talk about the blue water and emeralds, you just have to make a bold design."

Shang Xiaoxuan gave Fang Hao a white look: "I know you want to give it to me to make, but with the current ability, it can only be a waste of money, why not let sister Juan design it."

"That can't be done." Fang Hao said: "Blue water jadeite made of glass is too rare. Next time you encounter it, you can take out the bracelet material first, and then give a piece of material that can be used as a pendant to Sister Juan. For the rest, put it on my side first, and then design it when you feel capable."

Shang Xiaoxuan thought for a while, then agreed: "By the way, why do you know so much about gambling stones?"

It should be said that Fang Hao is proficient in all kinds of antiques, because all kinds are related, and Fang Hao is a genius, and he can accept it so-so, but stone gambling is a completely different field, even if he is affected by the brain supplement card, he still has to There has to be a good reason.

Therefore, Fang Hao had to bring out his master again: "You may not believe it, but my master taught me the knowledge of betting on stones. So far, I have only encountered it twice. I am lucky, and I can do it both times. The bet has gone up. It’s just about betting on stones. I’ve always been unsure, and I’m not very interested in it, and I should rarely touch it in the future.”

Shang Xiaoxuan believed Fang Hao's words, but she was even more curious: "Your master is really good, you know everything."

"Thanks to him, I am who I am now."

The two chatted and chatted, and they arrived at the community where Shang Xiaoxuan lived before they knew it.

The two bid farewell sweetly, and Fang Hao watched Shang Xiaoxuan walk into the community and drive home.

But before the car drove far, he received a call from Shang Xiaoxuan. He quickly pulled over the car and connected the phone. Shang Xiaoxuan's anxious voice came from the phone.

"When I entered the room, I saw Grandma Li fell on her back to the ground. No matter how I called her, she didn't wake up!"

"what!"

Fang Hao couldn't help being surprised: "Is she still breathing?"

"And breathing."

"Don't touch her now!"

If the old man has a stroke, ischemic syncope, or falls down and suffers a fracture or dislocation, he will aggravate the injury if he helps them up hastily. Now they don't know what is going on with Grandma Li, so they must not help him up hastily. Big trouble.

"I didn't touch her."

"Then you call the ambulance immediately and call the police. By the way, remember to take a few photos and record a video. Then contact Grandma Li's children and let them come to the capital as soon as possible."

These measures are not against villains but against gentlemen. Grandma Li's children are all greedy for money. If there is no evidence to prove Shang Xiaoxuan's innocence, it is very likely that Shang Xiaoxuan will be blackmailed.

In fact, Fang Hao was a little thankful that Shang Buxuan went back late. If Grandma Li fell down while she was at home, and there was no video to watch, it might cause some trouble.

Fang Hao hurriedly drove back to the community, went to the security office to distribute two packs of cigarettes, and asked him to take a surveillance video of Shang Xiaoxuan entering the community just now.

When Fang Hao entered the room, he saw Shang Xiaoxuan anxiously guarding beside Grandma Li.Grandma Li fell to the ground, her face pale, and she saw no movement other than her breathing.

"Has it always been like this?" Fang Hao walked up to Shang Xiaoxuan.

Shang Xiaoxuan's eyes were moist: "Yes, and I found that her breathing seems to be weaker, do you think she can be saved?"

Fang Hao saw Grandma Li like this, even if she was cured, she might be paralyzed in bed, so she could only say: "Auspicious people have their own appearance."

After hearing this, Shang Xiaoxuan finally couldn't stop crying, and said with a sob: "I talked and laughed with her this morning, and she brought me two eggs to eat. I didn't expect to come back at night. It's like this..."

Fang Hao put his arms around Shang Xiaoxuan and patted his shoulder lightly, but this was the first time he encountered such a thing, so he had to say some pale comforting words.

The police were the first to arrive. When they saw the old man lying on the ground, they first asked the two if they had called an ambulance before understanding the situation.Knowing that the old lady's children are all out of town, and Shang Xiaoxuan only found the old lady lying on the ground when she came home, it is not difficult to understand why Shang Xiaoxuan called the police.

After a while, the doctors and nurses on board the ambulance arrived. After examination, Grandma Li must have had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Because she didn't know when it happened, the situation was very dangerous. It is very likely that an operation should be performed immediately, but the operation must be performed by family members. signature.

Grandma Li was worried that she would forget her children's phone numbers, so she wrote down their mobile phone numbers on the wall calendar. Fang Hao called Grandma Li's son, and the other party answered quickly. Grandma Li's condition was very serious, and when she needed surgery, she faltered a bit.

Fang Hao was very angry. He hesitated in this situation. It was too heartless. What's more, Grandma Li didn't have money and medical insurance, so there was nothing to hesitate!
However, at such a time, although swearing can vent the anger in his heart, it may also make the other party feel rebellious, so he handed the phone to the police.

Sure enough, as Fang Hao guessed, as soon as the police came forward, Grandma Li's son immediately agreed, and Fang Hao recorded the whole process as evidence.

Shang Xiaoxuan was worried about Grandma Li, and followed the ambulance to the hospital. Fang Hao stayed behind and helped Shang Xiaoxuan pack her luggage. This was also considering the reaction of Grandma Li's son just now, he had to do so, and if Grandma Li did not rescue Come here, Shang Xiaoxuan will not be able to live here anymore.

Shang Xiaoxuan has very few valuables. Except for the computer, she basically keeps them in the jewelry box. She doesn't have much clothes. In the years since she came to the capital, she hasn't bought a few clothes for herself. Except for food, she didn't treat her too badly. You can save yourself and others.

This situation is very common in Beidiao.

After Fang Hao packed his luggage, he called Shang Xiaoxuan to confirm that there was nothing to collect, then returned to the car with the luggage, and drove to the hospital.

When he arrived at the hospital, Fang Hao found Shang Xiaoxuan who was waiting anxiously at the door of the operating room, and learned that the hospital had issued a critical illness notice, and that Grandma Li might be in danger this time.

When Shang Xiaoxuan saw Fang Hao, she threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears, saying that she and Grandma Li were not in the same room for a long time, but Grandma Li was kind and treated her like her own granddaughter, It also made her regard Grandma Li as her own relative, how could she not be sad?
In other words, if Grandma Li was found to have cancer suddenly, she would be gone in two or three months, which is not as unacceptable as it is now.

Fang Hao comforted Shang Xiaoxuan, and when she stabilized, he said, "You gave the deposit, right?"

"En." Shang Xiaoxuan nodded slightly.

"Let me take care of the money, and I will transfer the money to you."

Before Shang Xiaoxuan objected, Fang Hao said: "Don't refuse, you have a lot of places to spend money, and I am a big man, so it is easy to negotiate with Grandma Li's children."

Shang Xiaoxuan thought that Grandma Li and his daughters love money like their lives, if they want to renege on their debts, she really can't deal with them as a weak woman.

She nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Wipe your tears, I see you are crying like a cat." Fang Hao handed a tissue to Shang Xiaoxuan.

Shang Xiaoxuan smiled a little embarrassedly, took the tissue, and wiped away her tears.

"Do you want to call Sister Juan, and you will ask for a day off tomorrow?"

"No, I'm definitely going to work tomorrow."

"I have free time. Go to the hotel and open a room to rest. I will guard here."

Fang Hao persuaded Shang Xiaoxuan a few words, and finally she agreed.

Fang Hao was waiting at the door of the operating room. At three o'clock in the morning, Grandma Li was pushed out of the operating room.

"Who is Li Yanfang's family?"

When Fang Hao heard the doctor calling him, he hurried forward and said, "Her son is out of town and hasn't arrived yet. How is her condition?"

The doctor asked, "Are you a family member of the patient?"

Fang Hao said truthfully: "No, my girlfriend is renting at her house. When I went back today, I found her lying on the ground. I called an ambulance to bring her here."

The doctor saw that this was the case, so he couldn't blame Fang Hao for being late, and said: "The patient was late, and the situation is very bad. Now we can only see whether her willpower is strong or not."

"Thank you, doctor." Fang Hao sighed in his heart, feeling sorry for Grandma Li, but in comparison, he felt that it would be a good thing if Grandma Li just left, otherwise, depending on the attitude of her children, if she wakes up, the sequelae Seriously, being paralyzed in bed is really a pain.

At four o'clock in the morning, Grandma Li's son Wei Zhaoming finally arrived. Seeing Fang Hao's first words, he asked, "My mother is always in good health, why did she have a sudden cerebral hemorrhage?"

"You need to consult a doctor about this matter." Fang Hao actually wanted to say: "You are a son, you don't know your mother's body, and you expect others to know?"

Wei Zhaoming asked again: "How is my mother doing now?"

Fang Hao said: "The doctor said that it was delivered too late, and the operation is in a very bad condition. It is up to her to wake up."

After hearing this, Wei Zhaoming looked very painful: "Why didn't you send it earlier?"

Based on his attitude on the phone just now, Fang Hao already knew that Wei Zhaoming was likely to seek trouble, so he said, "I need to ask you about this matter!"

Wei Zhaoming stared: "What do you mean by that! We are all out of town, can we still fly over here!"

"My girlfriend is just a tenant, not a nanny!"

Fang Hao was also polite. He took out the hospital's deposit note and said, "I won't argue with you about this matter. If you want to know the details, you can go to the police station and ask, including photos and videos. We have already paid them. In addition, this It's a deposit note of 1 yuan, please transfer the money to me."

Wei Zhaoming did not expect that Fang Hao was so thoughtful and thought of everything. The deposit bill is very important for reimbursement. If he forcibly refuses to pay the money, he will be in trouble in the future, so he can only hold his nose and transfer the money to Fang Hao.

Fang Hao waited for the money to arrive, handed over the deposit note to Wei Zhaoming, left the hospital, and drove back home.He took a shower, lay on the bed, thought about it, and sent a message to Shang Xiaoxuan, explaining the situation.

Shang Xiaoxuan immediately made a voice call, and learned that Grandma Li might not be able to wake up, and choked up again. Fang Hao advised her not to be sad. Given the situation of Grandma Li's family, it might be a blessing to pass away like this.

Shang Xiaoxuan wiped away her tears, knowing that Fang Hao hadn't rested well, so she asked Fang Hao to rest well.

Fang Hao also advised her not to be too sad, life is alive, the world is impermanent, many people are just passers-by in their own lives.

Later, Fang Hao told Shang Xiaoxuan that if Grandma Li's children contacted her, they must not meet alone, but must contact him.

Shang Xiaoxuan agreed.

After sleeping until nine o'clock in the morning, although Fang Hao was still a little sleepy, his biological clock told him that he couldn't fall asleep anymore. He turned on his phone and checked. Grandma Li's children didn't call her, so he contacted Shang Xiaoxuan again. Xuan told him that there was no contact either.

Afterwards, Fang Hao contacted the attending doctor, who told him that Grandma Li's daughter had also arrived. Both parties expressed that they did not want to be treated any longer, and they even started fighting for property. They just had a quarrel in the hospital and were taken away by the police.

Fang Hao felt sad for Grandma Li, who had suffered so much and brought up her children, and they all had a good life, but she did not expect to raise two white-eyed wolves.

These two families are busy fighting for property, so they should not use their brains for the time being.Of course, it is also possible that he thinks too badly of the other party, but in these years, it is necessary to be defensive!

After Fang Hao washed up, he was about to go downstairs to have breakfast when Zhu Junda called and asked him if he had time now to visit master sculptor Pan Zhouming together.

Fang Hao and Zhu Junda made an appointment to meet in Pan Zhouming's studio, went to have a simple breakfast, said something in the work group, and drove to visit Pan Zhouming.

When Fang Hao got out of the car, he saw Zhu Junda was talking to an old man with a full beard who looked only in his 50s and exuded an artistic atmosphere. He thought this should be Pan Zhouming.

Seeing Fang Hao approaching, Zhu Junda smiled and said, "Mr. Pan, this is Fang Hao."

"He's a young talent!" Pan Zhouming could feel Fang Hao's self-confidence. This kind of self-confidence cannot be possessed casually.

Fang Hao stretched out his hand and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Pan, I hope you will forgive me for taking the liberty to visit."

Pan Zhouming shook hands with Fang Hao, laughed and said, "I've heard Xiao Zhu say that you have a deep research on various carving techniques, and I wish you could come here often."

"Thank you." Fang Hao smiled modestly, and handed Pan Zhouming a small box, which contained a gift prepared by Fang Hao.

After some refusals, Pan Zhouming accepted it.

After some politeness, Pan Zhouming brought the two of them in.

It is said to be a studio here, but it is actually a factory building with white walls and black tiles.The front hall is the exhibition area, displaying various wood carving works, including screens, wall decorations, hanging ornaments, ornaments, etc., including figures, landscapes, birds, animals, flowers, fish and insects, etc., as well as large-scale creations based on historical stories. , each piece is exceptionally exquisite and exquisite in craftsmanship.

For example, one of the red sandalwood statues of birthday stars.

It can be seen that a birthday star is sitting on a rockery, wearing a long-sleeved loose coat, holding Ruyi in one hand, and a fairy peach in the other. There are nine boys playing and playing under his knees, and the characters are vivid and vivid.

The whole statue uses round carving and high-relief carving techniques. The folds of the birthday star's clothes are natural and smooth, and the beard is also fully visible. The faces of the birthday star and the boy are full of joy and lifelike, which shows the author's deep carving skills.

Possibly in order to study Fang Hao's level, Pan Zhouming also invited Fang Hao to comment on one or two. After Fang Hao was polite, he also talked about several works.During the period, Pan Zhouming asked some questions from time to time, and Fang Hao also answered them one by one. In the end, Pan Zhouming's eyes became brighter and Fang Hao's appreciation grew more and more.

After visiting the exhibition area in front, the three of them walked to the junction in the middle. Here is a four-joint garden. The whole building faces south with blue bricks and gray tiles. The main body is brick and wood structure. Many, the wing angles rise gently, appearing calm and dignified.Coupled with the cold and bleak winter in the north, and the windy and sandy winter and spring, the building has a strong sense of closure.

Therefore, different from the charm of the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, this garden shows the vigorous and stable traditional architectural concept and construction method of the northern school.

After visiting the garden, the next step is the place where Pan Zhouming really works. It also looks antique and there are some works that have not been carved yet.

There are also some works, although they are completed, but Pan Zhouming thinks that they have not met his requirements. Of course, these are only a small part of representative works. Pan Zhouming will often examine them and learn some failure experience from them.

Pan Zhouming let everyone sit down, asked the secretary to make tea for them, and then got to the point, talking about plaque carving: "Xiao Fang, are you going to study with me and then carve yourself?"

Fang Hao said with a smile: "I do have this plan. I am going to try it myself first. If it really doesn't work, I would like to trouble you to make a move."

"Very good, but one thing, let me ask first, do you just think it's fun, or do you really want to learn?"

"It's a hobby!"

Pan Zhouming nodded with a smile: "Only if you are interested can you study in depth. Next, let's talk about your understanding of wood-carved plaques."

"Okay." Fang Hao selected some important knowledge points from the information in his memory, and told them.

"Okay, it seems that you have come prepared! Let me tell you some details about this craft."

Pan Zhouming was very satisfied with Fang Hao's attitude. He got up and brought the two of them to the workbench, where there happened to be an unfinished plaque on it.

Pan Zhouming told Fang Hao that making a plaque in ancient times was a very delicate matter. During processing, more than two years of pig blood putty was used to fill and smooth the joints, five to seven coats of lacquer were used as the base, and three coats of tung oil were applied after drying in the shade. .

In addition, there are unique secret methods of lightening and rounding, which can make the characters on the plaque have a three-dimensional effect when viewed from a distance, regardless of whether they are engraved in Yin or Yang.Therefore, if you appreciate the exquisite plaques handed down from ancient times, you can feel the strong artistic appeal. Whether it is describing scenery or aesthetic lyricism, both of them have profound meanings.

And so on, although Fang Hao also has this kind of information in his memory, seeing the real thing still makes him feel the complexity of the craftsmanship.
