Chapter 17: The Antique Shop

Wei Xia could see that Li Jiacheng didn't believe that he could open an antique shop, and his skeptical and even contemptuous look said it all.

But he didn't break it, just smiled and said: "Uncle Li, otherwise, you take me to your antique shop now, you cover up the price of all antiques, if I can guess the price of ten antique calligraphy and paintings, you will be the shopkeeper of my antique shop, I even have the name of the antique shop in mind, it will be called Gilded Pavilion." ”

Seeing that Wei Xia raised his eyebrows, looking like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, Li Jiacheng's fighting spirit was also burned.

On the one hand, he now wants to smash the prestige of this kid, after all, this may be his future son-in-law, and he can't let him ride on his head; on the other hand, if Wei Xia is really so capable and discerning, won't he be able to sit back and enjoy his old age in peace in the future?

Thinking of this, Li Jiacheng said: "Xiao Xia, I agree to your request, but if you lose the bet, then ......"

"What do you mean?" Wei Xia also wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in the old fox's gourd.

"Don't be nervous, I won't embarrass you, you just need to go out with Yaoyao and eat more often, and contact more feelings. ”

Li Jiacheng looked at Wei Xia with a kind face, but he clearly smelled the smell of calculation and excessive shrewdness, and he thought to himself:

"Tsk, this old guy didn't want to let himself suffer from the beginning, even if he loses the bet, he may be able to borrow Li Mengyao to trap me, if the bet wins, then even if the marriage is not a deal, it is clear, the old fox is going to eat me. ”

But he also knows that no matter what the final result is, he has nothing to lose, and what he wants is not just a beauty. So he happily stretched out his hand: "Okay, Uncle Li, it's decided! Let's go?"

He snapped his fingers as he spoke, and the driver opened the car door and motioned for Wei Xia and Li Jiacheng to get into the car.

After a while, the two of them had already arrived at Li Jiacheng's store in Taojiang City Antique City.

Although the sparrow is small, the store is not conspicuous, but the decoration and even the furnishings give people a sense of elegance and luxury.

Wei Xia smiled and said, "Uncle Li, your shop looks quite attractive, no wonder your business here has always been very good." It can be seen that compared with those who only regard antiques as 'yellow croaker', you are many levels higher than you. ”

"Hehe, Xiao Xia, you can really talk. ”

Li Jiacheng heard that the corners of his mouth were almost up to the root of his ears, and motioned for Wei Xia to enter the store, his eyes were full of approval, and he also secretly sighed that he had picked up a treasure.

In the past, he would never allow a young man to set foot in his store easily, after all, those who don't know anything about antiques come in to evaluate these carefully selected treasures, which is an insult to the antique.

But Wei Xia is different, he is like an expert who has been immersed in antique calligraphy and painting for many years, and even the eyes of antiques are like looking at a dignified woman.

Stepping on the fragrant sassafras wood floor, Wei Xia found that the air here exuded a good smell, exactly the same as Li Mengyao's body, and when he saw the antique display case, the first thing he thought of was Li Mengyao's kaleidoscope full of mystery, freshness and feminine charm.

Li Jiacheng also noticed Wei Xia's eyes:

"Xiao Xia, you must have seen that this antique shop has condensed my hard work. And it seems to me that it would be a ruin to arrange all the antiques in a glass case by size and decorate them with that cheap velvet. ”

"Oh?" Wei Xia had already sat down with Li Jiacheng as he spoke, as if he was in a landscape painting of flowers and birds.

A woman dressed in a blue gilt embroidered cheongsam swayed her waist and walked towards the two of them in the wind, her red lips were just the right shade, so that Wei Xia couldn't help but take a few more looks, she groaned and smiled, the white jade pot in her hand hung lightly, and the fragrant tea flowed.

Wei Xia only felt that he was boating among the mountains and rivers, tasting fragrant tea, and at the same time, because of the help of the system, he didn't need to get closer, he had already seen the price of each product.

Li Jiacheng motioned for the woman to go down and prepare to cover the price code card, and sipped the teacup and said:

"This antique, in fact, is the same as women, they have their own most beautiful state, some women are suitable for wearing cheongsam, some are suitable for wearing Hanfu, antiques are about the same, these beauties should be displayed in this elegant wooden cabinet. ”

Wei Xia is a little glad that he also met a nobleman, this Li Jiacheng is much more knowledgeable than he thought, if he becomes the shopkeeper in the future, then at least ninety and a half of the store can guarantee that it is genuine, even if he is not present, he will not be buried "landmines".

"Shopkeeper Li, the matter has been done. The price list for the treasure upstairs is here, two of you, please?"

The woman had already come down from the second floor at the moment, but I don't know if it was because Wei Xia was talented and suave, she actually blushed when she looked at Wei Xia.

Li Jiacheng stood between the two, and the meaning couldn't be clearer: "Xiao Xia, please." ”

Wei Xia smiled and said, "Uncle, I have to talk to you first, if there are one or two things in this treasure that are not good-looking......"

"Hey, you kid, I can guarantee that what I have collected and sold is all at a glance, if there is a shoddy work, then you are all wrong, and I will still be the shopkeeper for you!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Seeing Li Jiacheng patting his chest, Wei Xia was overjoyed, he was sure that this old fox would not allow anyone to question his appreciation, and now he was afraid that he would lose all his money, after all, people always have a hundred secrets, and if they are too full, it is like being cocooned.

The two of them went to the second floor, where the lights were dim, but there were more collections than on the first floor, and Wei Xia also noticed that the price of antiques here was generally two or three digits more than those on the first floor.

The danger first accurately said the price of the flower and bird picture at the door, and then guessed the price of the mahogany carved chair not far away. "This picture of flowers and birds should be one and two thousand and three thousand, this mahogany chair is in good condition, well-carved, and it is two thousands."

Although Li Jiacheng's eyes were full of surprise and praise, he was still a little unconvinced, so he specially found a few antiques that were difficult to argue with Wei Xia and asked Wei Xia to guess, and the results were all matched by Wei Xia without exception, and even a fraction of it was not bad.

Finally, Li Jiacheng only had one last chance, Wei Xia smiled and said, "Uncle, you have to choose carefully, otherwise you will be the shopkeeper for me." ”

Li Jiacheng swallowed his saliva: "This, just this carnelian bracelet, was given to me by Yaoyao, how much do you say it's worth!"

When he saw the number prompted by the system, Wei Xia also thought that he had made a mistake, but he immediately understood what was going on, so he said calmly: "Uncle, this bracelet is the object that is not good-looking." ”

"What? This is impossible, you are talking nonsense! This is given to me by Yaoyao, I think the texture is not bad, she spent tens of thousands of yuan!"

Li Jiacheng's face was full of astonishment, but the look in his eyes when he looked down at the quotation on the price list had betrayed him.

"Don't you believe it, it's easy to do, give Yaoyao a call, and you will know as soon as you ask, if I say something wrong, I will marry Li Mengyao immediately!"
