Chapter 017: Birthday Banquet
The treasure competition was over, and several bosses quickly moved the battlefield and went in the direction of the old ghost street.
Boss Qian and the old customer were the last to leave, and they looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and their smiles were full of a trace of imperceptible weirdness.
The old patron gave a thumbs up to Boss Qian: "Congratulations to Boss Qian in advance, I can finally get rid of Xuan Bao Zhai justifiably!"
"No, no, no!" Boss Qian waved his hand and smiled humbly: "This matter Mr. Jin and the old patron have the greatest credit, if it weren't for you! Xie Jingwen would not have come over! It's just that I don't understand one thing, Mr. Jin and Shen Qiu are both members of the Shen family, so they won't be wiped out, right?"
The old patron smiled faintly: "This can be seen from their names, one is called Shen Jin and the other is called Shen Qiu, one is destined to succeed in a great cause and the other is destined to fail, what if they are in the same family, even if they are biological brothers, they have fratricide! The grievances of wealthy families are not something that ordinary people like us can understand!"
"But ......" the old patron recalled Shen Qiu's various performances: "Shen Qiu's eyes are very strange, did he see something?"
Boss Qian shook his head with a big hand and said, "Old customer, do you really think he is a treasure connoisseur? I know his three-legged cat kung fu very well, otherwise he wouldn't have priced it at 6.8 million yuan! Let's just sit back and wait for tomorrow's finale!"
......
Shen Qiu and Xie Jingwen walked out of the courtyard and walked to the old ghost street, Xie Jingwen was still thinking about how to explain to his father and Cao Dong, after all, 6.8 million yuan was not a small amount of money, and he was ready to be scolded in advance.
"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"
During the walk, Shen Qiu's phone rang, and the caller ID was his mother's number, it would be close to one o'clock in the morning, so late Shen Qiu expected that his mother was in a hurry.
"Hey, Shen Qiu, have you fallen asleep, Mom, there's something ...... here?"
"Mom, don't worry, tell me something slowly, the doctor said that your illness can't be in a hurry!"
"Actually, it's not a big deal, but I don't tell you that I'm panicking, it's your grandfather's seventieth birthday the day after tomorrow, no matter how you say that you are also his grandson, with a root where blood is thicker than water......"
Halfway through her mother's words, Shen Qiu knew what she wanted to say, and her mother wanted him to go back to celebrate the old man's birthday.
"Mom, don't say it, I won't go back, it's he who waved my big hand and asked me to get out of the Shen family, he doesn't recognize me as a grandson!"
"Shen Qiu!" Gao Yuelan said earnestly: "No matter how you say it, it's also your grandfather, and it's you who did something wrong, you lost the money when you made antiques, which hurt everyone's hearts, not to mention that your father's illness is also related to your antiques, and it is reasonable for your grandfather to be angry." ”
"Shen Qiu, I know you can't wipe off your face, but after all, you are a descendant of the Shen family, even if you call grandpa in the past, it's okay, if your father is alive, he will let you go back, you should fulfill your father's last wish!"
"Okay, Mom, don't say it, I promise you can't do it! I'll go back, I'll go back!"
Mother's heart is not blocked, Shen Qiu feels uncomfortable: "I'll just go back, don't lose face for you, you can recuperate in the hospital with peace of mind!"
"By the way, Shen Qiu, Shen Jin also came to the hospital to see me today, and bought me some fruit nutritional supplements!"
Mentioning this cousin Shen Qiu suddenly became angry, this brother has never had him as a younger brother in his eyes, he has been plotting himself everywhere since he was a child, he was calculated and tricked by him when he was a child, and now he is telling the old man all the things, and it is Shen Jin who made him expelled from the Shen family, and recently I heard that he is very close to Zhao Chunlei.
Such a cousin, I, Shen Qiu, sincerely thank his whole family!
......
After ending his mother's call, Shen Qiu looked up and saw Xie Jingwen's big and translucent eyes: "Well, I probably heard something, your mother is right, you still return to the Shen family after all, maybe your grandfather just kicked you out in anger, but I believe he will not give up on you, after all, you have the blood of the Shen family!"
"Maybe your grandfather hasn't tapped your potential, if he knows that you are so powerful now, and you still stay in me Xuanbao Zhai as a treasure connoisseur, he will definitely summon you back as soon as possible!"
When Xie Jingwen said this, Shen Qiu's heart was much more comfortable: "Maybe, but it's really ...... for me to go alone."
"Face is it, right? You can't get by on face, right?" After only a few days of kung fu, Xie Jingwen had already seen the man in front of him clearly: "You men always regard face as the most important!
"Really?" Shen Qiu suddenly came to his senses, I don't know why, as soon as Xie Jingwen said that he was going, the knot in his heart suddenly dissolved, and he instantly felt enlightened.
"Of course it's true, I'm also the boss of Xuan Bao Zhai, and it's hard to chase after me, but I'm not doing it for nothing, you have to sign a contract with me when you go back, and you have to stay in my store for at least three years before you are allowed to leave! Don't let others poach you! I'll find a few more treasures for me when I get to the old ghost street!
......
At one o'clock in the morning, the old ghost street opened on time, although the old ghost street was blinded by black lights, but the whole street was crowded with people, all kinds of dazzling flashlights flashed in it, but also formed a unique scenery of the old ghost street.
There are some people gathered sparsely in each stall, they are all hunting for treasures with flashlights, and the communication between them is also soft, giving people the feeling that they are doing something shady.
"Shen Qiu, what do you think of this thing!"
Xie Jingwen stopped at a booth of the Four Treasures of a study and was attracted by a rectangular piece of old ancient ink.
The ancient ink is rectangular in shape, equipped with a colorful box of the Qing Dynasty, and the fine ink inside is well preserved, especially the ancient ink box Shanghai dropped a pair of symmetrical mandarin ducks, as well as a model of ancient love stories, Dong Yong and the relief of the Seven Fairies, which is very beautiful.
Shen Qiu sighed and asked the boss directly: "Boss, how much is this ink!"
The boss was a middle-aged man in a Mao suit, and when he saw someone buying goods, he immediately gushed out: "Brother, good vision! This piece of ancient ink is a good thing, the work of Tang Bin, a master from the Qing Dynasty to the dynasty! Tang Bin, you should know, right? One of the top ten most famous masters of ink making in the Kangxi era! The ink that is ground out is like black charcoal, and the ink is pure, you smell the smell of this ancient ink, and there is a strong smell of ink!"
"Well, you can see it! Let's talk about it! How much does it cost!"
"And the condition of my ink is particularly well preserved, you can't find a better condition than this one in the entire Jiangcheng!"
Shen Qiu immediately interrupted: "Boss, you say that it is the ancient ink of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, I believe it, but if you want to say how good the quality of this ancient ink is, then I have to remind you!"
Shen Qiu put the ancient ink back into the colorful box, and gently swayed and sent out a crisp movement: "See! First of all, this box is not original, and the gap inside is very large! The master of ancient ink will not make such an ignorant mistake! Another is the four corners of your ancient ink, two of which are rounded and two are square, what does this mean? It means that your ink has been used by someone, do you know how to test drive the car? Your ancient ink is equivalent to being tried by someone!"
The boss who said Shen Qiu was speechless: "Awesome, little brother, I didn't expect that he would be a man at a young age, and the family connoisseur was tearful to the connoisseur, so I will give you a discount, the original price of 30,000 Gu Mo, you will count 20,000!"
"It's expensive!"
Without allowing Shen Qiu to speak, Xie Jingwen on the side shook his head and said: "Boss, don't go around the corner, but all the ancient ink of the Qing Dynasty has never been higher than 10,000, even the master's ancient ink is basically no more than this number, unless! Your ink is made of gold, and it can grind out gold ink to be worth this price!"
As soon as the boss heard this, he knew that he had met an expert, and his enthusiastic smile suddenly became embarrassed: "I didn't expect that the beauty is also an expert!
Xie Jingwen estimated for a while, and the estimated price was only about seven thousand, but she didn't expect Shen Qiu to suddenly rush in front of her and speak: "That's it, boss, I'll give you a beautiful number, 13140!
