Taking the train from Shangluo to Jinyang, Meng Zitao, Shu Ze and Jiang Xing took the car to the hotel where they stayed, they had just packed their luggage not long ago, and when they were about to go to dinner, Shu Ze's friend arrived.

Chai Chengxuan is a young man with a simple appearance and a scholarly temperament, and when he saw Shu Ze, he smiled bitterly.

Shu Ze quipped: "What's the matter, if you don't listen to me, you will suffer in front of you." ”

Chai Chengxuan said: "Don't be so sure, what if he was also deceived?"

Shu Ze smiled and said, "Okay, then let's make a bet, the bet is the fan of Ding Yunpeng that you collected." ”

Chai Chengxuan waved his hand: "Who bet with you!"

Shu Ze smiled: "Do my younger brothers and sisters know about this?"

Chai Chengxuan smiled bitterly: "How dare I tell her, to be honest, I usually don't mention it to her when I help, I do it secretly, I really want to tell her, and I have to tear down the house." ”

Shu Ze said: "I think you are also self-inflicted, you know that your wife doesn't like her sister's family, and you still want to help, isn't this asking for hardship?"

Chai Chengxuan sighed: "Aren't they all family? ”

"You're thirty-six years old, and you're still so naïve. Shu Ze smiled and said, "You treat them as family, and they treat you as a mallet!"

Seeing Chai Chengxuan with a bitter gourd face, Shu Ze stopped stimulating him and said, "How are you going to deal with this matter?"

Chai Chengxuan was a little hesitant: "What do you think I should do?" Just tear my face, my father-in-law and mother-in-law will definitely be difficult to do, but if I don't care about it, I can't help it." ”

"So if you want me to say, you should change your temper, not to make you a wicked person, but to guard against others, and not to treat all your relatives as good lambs. ”

Shu Ze said: "As for this matter, let's take it step by step and investigate the matter first." ”

The reason why he said this was also to dispel Chai Chengxuan's worries, so as not to become a "Holy Mother" again.

Chai Chengxuan agreed with this opinion: "Let's do it, let's go, I'll do my best as a landlord first." ”

Shu Ze smiled and said, "I'm going to slaughter you today!"

"As long as you can eat, you can eat whatever you want......"

The group followed Chai Chengxuan to a restaurant not far away, and judging from the endless stream of guests, the dishes in this restaurant must be not bad.

Everyone was laughing and was about to enter the hotel, when they saw a young man at the door, holding a few ancient books in his hand and discussing with an old man in his fifties.

The old man persuaded bitterly: "Young man, eight hundred and one books are already a lot, you see that the weather is not good, why wait at the door, it is better to take the money and go home for dinner." ”

The young man said: "Uncle, don't say it, since I promised others, even if you give 10,000 yuan a copy, I will not sell it to you, you must be honest." ”

The old man shook his head: "I heard the doorman say, you have been waiting here for more than half an hour, and he still hasn't come out, if he doesn't come out, are you going to wait until tomorrow!"

The young man thought for a moment: "I'll wait until twelve o'clock, and if he doesn't come out yet, then I won't wait, and I think I'm unlucky." ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "Young man, your heart and eyes are indeed very good, but in this society, you will definitely suffer." ”

The young man said, "My dad said that suffering is a blessing!"

The old man was speechless for a while, the other party said so, and he could only leave with a regretful face.

Meng Zitao used his ability on the ancient books in the young man's hand, all of which were ancient books of the Qing Dynasty, and one of them was more valuable, worth nearly 10,000 yuan.

Meng Zitao secretly said that it was a pity, and then entered the hotel with Chai Chengxuan and others.

Chai Chengxuan looks quite honest, but he is actually an interesting person, everyone talks and laughs, and eats very happily.

Everyone is full of wine and food, ready to go back to the hotel to rest, and tomorrow we will go to the antique shop to inquire.

When the group was about to reach the door of the hotel, they heard a quarrel at the door, arguing with two people, one was bearded, and the other was a young man who had just been at the door.

Meng Zitao was a little surprised, it had been two hours since they arrived at the hotel, and the young man was still not talking, but he actually quarreled with someone, which was really strange.

After getting closer and listening to a few words, Meng Zitao finally understood what was going on.

The beard had negotiated the price with the young man before, but the cash was not enough, so he went to borrow money from a friend in the restaurant, but was pulled by the friend to eat.

After eating, when he saw that the young man was still there, he wondered a little in his heart, thinking that he would lose money, so he wanted to buy it at a lower price, but of course the young man disagreed. As the two men talked, they quarreled.

"This boss, how can you do this in business, I have been waiting for you here for two hours, and you still have to buy it at a low price, are you sorry?" said the young man indignantly.

The beard sneered: "Hehe, boy, don't say it so nicely, if you didn't think I was a mallet, you would have waited here for two hours, you really made me stupid!"

The young man thought that he was blowing a cold wind here, but he was still being slandered, and couldn't help but scold: "You fart, just now someone gave me 800 yuan a copy because I didn't sell it because I was waiting for you, but you still have to lower the price, where is your conscience?"

The beard drank a lot of wine, and his temper was rather irritable, but when he heard the young man speak so unkindly, he suddenly became angry: "Boy, put my mouth clean for me! I don't sell a book for 800 yuan, do you think we are all fools? I want to see who buys your book for 800 yuan, and if there is no one, then don't blame me for smoking you!"

Originally, this matter was unreasonable, but now he was threatening the young man, which made Meng Zitao a little unbearable, and said to the young man: "Can you show me a few ancient books in your hand?"

"You Ma ......" Seeing that someone was actually meddling in his own affairs, he turned around and was about to scold Meng Zitao, when he saw Chai Chengxuan next to Meng Zitao, he immediately retracted the words that came to his mouth.

Chai Chengxuan sneered: "Clean my mouth a little bit!"

He smiled and said, "Mr. Chai, I'm really sorry, I was so angry that I didn't choose what to say." ”

Chai Chengxuan said: "Could it be that he is wrong? When we arrived here just now, there was indeed someone who was willing to pay 800 copies to buy all the ancient books in his hand. ”

The beard was slightly stunned, this kind of trivial matter, Chai Chengxuan would definitely not lie to himself, it seems that he has indeed wronged the young man.

He immediately apologized to the young man and said, "Young man, I'm really sorry, I made a mistake, and I'm willing to pay eight hundred dollars for these books." ”

"No need, the deal we talked about earlier is invalid!" The young man is also a stubborn temper, as the old saying goes, people fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a pillar of incense, since the other party has wronged and threatened him, even if he offers a high price, he will not sell it.

In addition to being embarrassed, he was a little annoyed, if it weren't for Chai Chengxuan here, he really wanted to beat the young man.

At this time, Meng Zitao spoke: "Brother, these books are good. ”

"That's right, I've picked them all out of my hand. ”

The young man smiled proudly and said, "If you want it, I'll sell you eight hundred copies." ”

The young man was indeed a little stubborn, but he was not stupid, knowing that his book should be worth so much money, and did not bid according to the price he had previously offered to the beard.

Meng Zitao felt that the young man's personality was quite cute, and smiled: "What if you lose this price?"

The young man said: "It's still the same sentence, since I made a bid, it won't change, not to mention that I have made a lot of money at this price, it is better to be content, and contentment can be happy." ”

"Well said. Meng Zitao laughed: "I won't let you suffer a loss, I bought a thousand yuan a copy." ”

"No, I said eight hundred is eight hundred, I don't want any more!" Although the young man was dripping blood in his heart, he still insisted on his principles.

Meng Zitao smiled: "You don't regret it." ”

The personality of young people is called obedience when it sounds good, and it is called inflexibility when it is bad, but it is easier to deal with this kind of person, and it doesn't take much thought.

After paying, Meng Zitao took out his business card and handed it to the young man: "This is my business card, make a friend." ”

The young man took the business card and looked at it, then raised his head to look at Meng Zitao.

"Is there any problem?" Meng Zitao asked with a smile.

The young man suddenly realized, and said with some excitement: "You are Teacher Meng!"

"Probably so. Meng Zitao said with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Meng, I didn't expect to meet you here!" The young man excitedly wanted to shake hands with Meng Zitao, but when he was halfway through, he probably felt that his hands were a little dirty, so he quickly retracted and wiped them on his clothes.

Meng Zitao stepped forward to shake his hand: "Don't worry, I don't have a habit of cleanliness." ”

The young man laughed dryly: "Teacher Meng, thank you for helping me out." ”

Meng Zitao said: "That's because your stuff is good enough. ”

The young man scratched his head, and then introduced himself to Mencius.

Xia Gaowei was a shy young man, he didn't know how to speak, and after saying a few words, he didn't know what to say to Meng Zitao.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Meng Zitao asked Xia Gaowei to go to dinner, and he could contact him if he had something.

Xia Gaowei responded with a smile and left happily, although he was a little angry today, he felt that it was a good deal to be able to recognize Meng Zitao.

After Meng Zitao and his party left, the beard began to feel aggrieved, although he didn't figure out who Meng Zitao was, but judging from Xia Gaowei's performance, this person must have some status, and some gadgets will definitely not be wrong, which means that he has gone away.

Thinking that the cooked duck was about to reach his mouth, but in the end he was made to fly away, and the bearded heart felt very aggrieved, and spit out dozens of mouthfuls of "bad luck".
