Chapter 0299 – Panjiayuan

At noon, the family had a lively meal together. Nui Nui was originally a little afraid of life, but after familiarizing herself with it, she also became lively, and her “giggling” laughter was everywhere in the small building, making this quiet place full of popularity.

Ouyang Zhenwu’s work is relatively busy, after dinner left, before leaving gave Zhuang Rui a business card, so that Zhuang Rui have time and business card on the person to contact, that is the Beijing University of a professor of architecture’s business card, Zhuang Rui that set of courtyard layout decoration, can count on this person it!

The old man and the old lady have the habit of napping, after dinner to rest, Zhuang Min also coaxed his daughter to sleep, leaving Zhuang Rui in the company of his mother, Ouyang Wan, although usually also like to take a nap, but this time obviously can not sleep, the joy of seeing her parents, so she is very excited, this has nothing to do with the age, the age of the oldest, it is also the parents of the children well!

“Mom, why don’t you take a rest too? Is it that you want to turn around and draw a big flower cat on Grandpa’s face?”

Zhuang Rui saw his mother’s appearance. The heart is a little worried, the memory of the mother is quiet and calm, has never been so excited as today.

However, at the dinner table, Zhuang Rui also heard a lot about the mother’s childhood go time, when Ouyang Wan’s favorite thing to do, is to secretly use a pen when the father sleeps, to draw a flower cat face to the father.

“This child of yours, joke about mom, I haven’t asked you yet, what about the girl who came with me at noon? How come she came and left without even entering the house?”

Ouyang Wan smiled and scolded Zhuang Rui, although the mood was stirring when she saw her parents at that noon meeting, Ouyang Wan didn’t forget about the girl who appeared by Zhuang Rui’s side, she just hadn’t been able to spare any time, and only now did she have the time to ask Zhuang Rui.

“Oh, you said Officer Miao? That’s a friend I know in Zhonghai, now transferred to Beijing, her family also has elders living here, went to her grandfather.”

Zhuang Rui to his old mom but did not dare to hide anything, did not dare her and Miao Fei Fei is indeed just a friend, there is nothing that can not be said.

“Surname Miao? Well, this girl is good, looks like the temper is also quite good, right, Xiao Rui, not mom said you. You should also have a serious girlfriend.”

Ouyang Wan nodded her head, her first impression of the girl was good, she looked graceful and moving, she should be a good-tempered girl.

Zhuang Rui was said by his own mom is crying and laughing, Miao Fei Fei character is good, very straightforward, but the temper absolutely can not be said to be good, it seems that mom this is her that appearance to deceive.

“Mom, I do not have a girlfriend, Xuan Bing you have seen, she is working in the United Kingdom this period of time, and so she came back to me to bring her to see you.”

Zhuang Rui is afraid of the mom to himself to a pull with, he felt and Miao Fei Fei as a friend is definitely more comfortable than to do lovers, at the same time on the opening of the mouth to block the mom’s mouth.

“This child of yours, from a young age, you have an opinion, who do you want to find, this matter I also do not care about you, but within three years, you must get married.” Ouyang Wan thought of her own experience and didn’t go to deliberately intervene in her son’s love life, but she still gave Zhuang Rui a deadline for marriage.

“Got it. Mom, by the way, I bought a courtyard house in the city, so I might be busy these days, so I won’t be coming to Grandma and Grandpa’s place ah! When you are ready to go back to Pengcheng, just give me a call!”

Zhuang Rui this matter to explain clearly with the mother, he also wanted to wait for the courtyard decoration is good, the grandparents will be taken over to live it, a large family lively, how happy ah! That said, since childhood, only three people at home Zhuang Rui, the most eager for the life of a large family.

“You bought a courtyard house? Well, I know, I’ll talk about it on your grandmother’s side.”

Ouyang Wan seldom interferes in her son’s affairs, but her eyes also light up when she hears quadrangle house, in her childhood, except in the army compound, she lived in the quadrangle house, and it’s still fresh in her mind.

“Right, Xiao Rui, there are still more than three months, is your grandpa’s ninetieth birthday, you help mom to prepare some gifts, be attentive ah!” When Ouyang Zhenwu was on his way out, he said a few words to Ouyang Wan about the old man’s birthday, this was something that Ouyang Wan could only look for her son’s help.

“Grandpa’s birthday, well, this is going to find a better one. Mom, you can rest assured!”

Zhuang Rui’s mind turned around and he had a plan in his heart, but this matter still needs to find Old Master Gu, thinking of this, Zhuang Rui stood up.

“You’re leaving now, right? Drive carefully.” When Ouyang Wan saw her son getting up, she hurriedly explained, Beijing has many cars, it’s not comparable to Pengcheng.

“Okay, then I’m leaving! When Grandpa and the others wake up, mom, give me a word.”

Zhuang Rui promised and walked out of the door of the room, felt out his cell phone and called Miao Fei Fei.

Zhuang Rui is ready to accompany Miao Fei Fei to Panjiayuan in the afternoon to stroll around, and then visit the ancient master at night, wait until tomorrow to go about that professor to look at the courtyard, but also to find a reassuring person to look at the construction, think of this many things, Zhuang Rui has some headaches.

After picking up Miao Feifei, Zhuang Rui in her instructions, drive straight to Panjiayuan.

Beijing Panjiayuan Old Goods Market is located in the southeast corner of Beijing’s Third Ring Road, is the country’s largest old goods market, open four days a week from Thursday to Sunday. There are more than 3,000 stalls for all kinds of cultural relics, paintings, calligraphy, porcelain and wooden furniture, etc. People from 24 provinces and cities have set up stalls in this market.

Not only that, there are many ethnic minorities in this by the national products, so the operation of the goods in addition to food can be said to be a variety of goods, but also some people say that it is like a museum, here is the cheapest market of old goods in Beijing, attracting a large number of Chinese and foreign tourists.

Beijing’s most famous antique markets are Dazhalan, Liulichang and Panjiayuan, and Dazhalan has more old shops. Like the Ming Dynasty that has been opened six Bijiu sauce garden, the Qing Dynasty, the Kangxi years opened the famous national medicine store Tong Ren Tang, Jiaqing years opened the Ma Ju Yuan hat store, Neiliansheng shoe store, as well as later have four facade of one of the eight Xiang – Rui Fu Xiang silk and leather goods, etc., here rather than an antique market, rather than a hundred years of the old store where the epitome of the! The first time the place was an antique market.

And Liulichang was first a book market, in the Qing Dynasty, officials and students often gather here to shop the book market, slowly developed into an antique cultural market, but still mainly to calligraphy and painting books, such as Samuel Hill House, Ancient Art Zhai, Ruicheng Zhai, Zui Wenge, Yiduge, Li Fushou Pen, Rongbaozhai and other centuries-old stores are here.

Panjiayuan and the above two places are different, the reason why he is famous, but because of the previously mentioned ghost market, and the name of the ghost market, from Panjiayuan.

This also has a story, Panjiayuan earliest time, is a waste of kiln site, the place is also a little remote, in the late Qing Dynasty, when the country’s fortunes declined, many dignitaries and noble families fell, they stole the family antiques to Panjiayuan here to sell.

After all, this is a matter of shame, can only be selected in the early morning at three or four o’clock trading lanterns, because in this ghost market off the object, most of them are from unknown sources, have unspeakable secrets, can only be sold at a low price.

Thus, the rumor of ‘ghost market out of good goods’ has spread, of course, now, although there is no need to hide and cover up, but the tradition of opening the market at four in the morning has been continued.

After 1992, Panjiayuan gradually formed an old goods market, and in just a few years it developed into the largest collection and distribution center of antiques and old goods in the country, including antique furniture, literary treasures, antique books and paintings, onyx and jade, Chinese and foreign coins, shadow puppets and face paintings, religious tokens, ethnic costumes, relics of the Cultural Revolution and even daily necessities, and in addition to arms, drugs, and human beings, as long as you can think of valuable goods, you can find it in Panjiayuan. Panjiayuan is a place where you can find anything of value you can think of.

Now Panjiayuan, in the hearts of the public fame. Has far exceeded the Liulichang and Dajiejie, is that many foreign presidents and dignitaries, but also more to this to visit the past, in its surroundings, the formation of a huge business circle.

Panjiayuan only open four days a week, the weekend is naturally the most lively, when Zhuang Rui in the Miao Fei Fei’s instructions parked the car, walked into the Panjiayuan, also could not help but be in front of the scene to the small shock a. Where is this antique market ah!

Where is this antique market ah! Simply like a fair, people everywhere, and foreigners actually accounted for most of the white skin, black skin everywhere, a variety of languages rise and fall, Zhuang Rui look, a face full of pimples vendors, is manipulating a mouthful of fluent English, and a foreign girl to talk about the price.

“Zhuang Rui, how is it? I said Panjiayuan is more lively than the antique market in Zhonghai, right?”

Miao Fei Fei’s character is outgoing, she can’t stay at home and doesn’t like shopping for clothes, she used to run to Panjiayuan from time to time to hang out, although she doesn’t buy anything, she is in a good mood as she deals with people from all over the world.

Standing at the entrance of Panjiayuan, as far as the eye can see, in addition to the people, is densely lined up stalls, each stall with dozens of hundreds of objects, porcelain, bronzes, pottery, iron, wood, including the literati, jewelry, that is everything.

“Lively, is lively.”

Looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, Zhuang Rui muttered, he remembered a sentence that Uncle De once said, in Beijing, if you want to get antiques, you still have to go to Liulichang, Zhuang Rui only now can be considered to understand the meaning of this sentence.

More than three thousand stalls, adding up to several million pieces of goods, but the key thing is, although our country left behind a lot of antiques, it can not be sold in this way ah! Simply do not need to see, Zhuang Rui heart understand, other places are a hundred objects inside may be able to have a real, but here, I’m afraid that 10,000 objects inside, can have a real is good.

Zhuang Rui now is a whole understand, Miao Fei Fei why often come to stroll antique market, but on the antique is a know-nothing, here want to get a real thing, I’m afraid than to buy lottery tickets in a jackpot of the odds are not big where to go.
