Chapter Eighty-Three: It's All About Acting Skills
"Oops, really?"
He Lin pretended to be surprised, and asked with a haha: "I just said that this rouge box looks quite shiny, and it may be an object in the palace!"
After speaking, he glanced at the old man again: "Presumably the price of this box is not low, right?"
"Hehe, little brother, where are you talking about this, of course the price of good things will be a little more expensive. The old man smiled, rubbed his rough hands, and said with a mysterious expression: "But it just so happens that the ghost market has just begun, and I haven't opened it yet, old man." โ
"If you really want to buy it, little brother, I will definitely give you a discount!"
He Lin raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Oh?
"I am dissatisfied with the little brother, you said, I originally sold this rouge box to others for this amount. โ
The old man stretched out a dirty rough hand and first compared a 'four' gesture, and then a 'three' gesture, and said to He Lin and Qingle with a smile on his face: "I will only charge this number for selling it to you, and give it a 75% discount, even if it is an opening lottery." โ
"Three thousand?!" He Lin asked pretending to be stupid.
"Hey, the lad is a joke. โ
The old man smiled and said, "Thirty thousand!"
He Lin couldn't help but sneer on his face, and quipped: "Old man, your price is not low." โ
"Young man, you get what you pay for, and my rouge box is still something in the palace, and the price of 30,000 yuan is not high. The old man looked innocent, glanced at Qingle and said, "Besides, you see how much this beauty's temperament matches this rouge box, and there will be no such shop in this village." โ
"Huh...... You still have some truth in what you say. โ
He Lin responded perfunctorily, his eyes rolled, and he stretched out his hand and pointed casually: "Hey, how much does this white-glazed rouge box sell for, old man?"
"That's a little cheaper, you have to like 20,000. โ
"What about the emerald green one?"
"That's 12,000. โ
......
"What about the black one?"
"Hey, little brother, don't just ask. โ
The old man showed a little impatience on his face, and said hesitantly: "We must choose the right one when we buy something, not the cheapest one, right?
Although the old man's words were subtle, the meaning of He Lin's stinginess could not be more obvious.
"Old man, anyway, I asked about the price of these rouge boxes, so you can tell me all the remaining prices by the way, so I can make a reference!"
He Lin smiled on his face, pointed to the remaining red lacquer rouge box and the black rouge box with rich treasure light and asked, "These two rouge boxes look quite plain, the price shouldn't be high, right?"
"Average. โ
The old man saw that He Lin looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, so he had to smack his lips and respond: "Both are folk objects, one is 6,000 and the other is 4,000!"
"Which 4 thousand, which 6 thousand?"
"6,000 in red, 4,000 in black!" the old man's mood was a little colder.
He Lin was happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that the 'most valuable' rouge box was the cheapest!
"Hey, old man, I look at the black one and it looks pretty good, show me?" He Lin said, pointing to the most 'cheap' black rouge box.
"If you like it, take it yourself!"
The old man had exhausted the last bit of patience with He Lin, and after a perfunctory response, he turned his head to Qingle with a smile on his face and said, "Hehe, beauty, but I think this royal rouge box can match your noble temperament." โ
"As the saying goes, cheap is not good, old man, I am from here, if some men talk to you on the surface, but secretly pick cheap things to give you, then you have to have a heart!"
After speaking, the old man's mung bean eyes glanced at He Lin intentionally or unintentionally, and the reference in his words could not be more obvious.
"Poofโโ!
Qingle couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, nodded and smiled: "Thank you Uncle for reminding me, I will pay attention." โ
"Hehe, it's still a beauty, you're beautiful and kind, how about it, do you want this rouge box?" the old man asked.
"I don't understand these big joys either, let's wait for Brother Xiao He to finish reading it. Qingle glanced at He Lin and said.
The old man had no choice but to smack his lips helplessly, and replied unwillingly: "Okay, seize the opportunity, there will be no such shop after this village." โ
During the conversation between the two, He Lin naturally heard it clearly on the side.
He didn't expect that this old man was not only black-hearted, but also so small-minded, and he would start to play the trick of sowing discord in front of him.
If Qingle hadn't believed in himself unconditionally, he would have been really buried by this old man's words as another girl!
He Lin simply pretended to be stupid and stunned to the end, pretending not to hear the old man's words, and just lowered his head and concentrated on the black rouge box in his hand.
He Lin took a closer look and found that the lid of this rouge box was painted with black and brown paint, and there were five dark red lines mixed between the paint layers, and the body of the box was painted with black paint, which were six dark red lines in the black room.
There is a mother and son mouth in the middle of the box lid and the box body, the center of the bottom concave is slightly raised, the box cover is engraved with four ruyi cloud head patterns, the center forms four cross patterns, the center is carved out of a round point, the side wall is decorated with eight ruyi cloud head patterns, the body is also engraved with eight ruyi cloud head patterns, and the curly edge decoration of vanilla patterns is sandwiched between the ruyi cloud patterns as a "fill in the blank" pattern.
He Lin gently checked it, and the rouge box was slightly heavy, combined with the green treasure light, he guessed that it should be made of heavy wood such as agarwood.
Although the light was not good, He Lin still noticed that the paint of the box was clear and impurities.
Moreover, the compost of this lacquer box is thick, the lacquer quality is good, and it is straight, which is actually the style of the rhino removal process in the Yuan and Ming dynasties!
Don't......
At this time, a trace of cool treasure light entered his body, and a message appeared in his mind: "During the Zhu Yuanzhang period of the Ming Dynasty, the rhino Ruyi cloud pattern lacquer box was removed!"
"Sure enough!"
He Lin snorted secretly, and said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, this is not a Qing Dynasty folk rouge box, but a rhino lacquer box!"
Originating from the Yuan Dynasty, the lacquer box is a delicate carved lacquer product, which needs to be painted with different lacquer colors layer by layer, and can only be carved after sufficient thickness, which has extremely high artistic research value.
"Huhโโ?!"
He Lin gently touched the bottom of the lacquer box with his hand at this time, but found that a small corner was missing from the round foot of the lacquer box!
He flipped through the lacquer box, and by the light of the kerosene lamp, he saw that there was still a faint golden luster in the missing corner.
He Lin couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and he was secretly shocked in his heart: "Could it be that I am really lucky enough to meet such a treasure......
Immediately, a sneer appeared on his face, and he raised the lacquer box in his hand without moving and asked the old man of the stall owner: "Hey, old man, why is there a small gap in the bottom corner of your lacquer box?"
"Huh?!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then coughed twice and said: "Little brother, these are all objects from many years ago, and they are not palace objects, you also know that ordinary people have to do some rough work, and they will inevitably encounter bumps and bumps!"
After speaking, he pointed to the yellow rouge box in Qingle's hand again: "Look at the good things in this palace, the preservation is almost perfect, and I don't need to tell you the difference between cheap things and expensive things, right?"
He Lin's eyes narrowed, and he clearly found that the old man's eyes were flickering, as if he was hiding something.
But He Lin didn't bother to guess, since this black rhino lacquer box was the cheapest, then other things were not a problem!
He Lin smiled: "Well, old man, you are indeed right, you get what you pay for." โ
"Oh, that's right. The old man smiled on his face, nodded and said, "The quality of this high-priced thing is naturally much higher, how about it, do you want to buy this palace rouge box?"
"Hey, uncle, I also want to buy this royal rouge box for my girlfriend, but ......" He Lin pretended to be embarrassed, and suddenly paused in the middle of his words.
Girlfriend?!
Qingle couldn't help but be stunned next to him, and looked at He Lin in disbelief.
"But what?" asked the old man.
"But...... We were in a hurry to go out today, and we didn't have a lot of money with us. โ
