Chapter 873: The Governor's Mansion

Hearing this, Li Quan and Qiao Zhenhuan's eyes suddenly lit up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

And there's one better thing to hear than this for antique lovers.

Especially Qiao Zhenhuan, he just came to the imperial capital, and he had been deflated in front of Huo Sining before, and there was always a feeling that his fist was hitting the cotton and there was nowhere to focus.

He is also a person who has studied abroad for so many years, and he also has a certain amount of knowledge and experience in antique appraisal.

Now that the old lady said that there was something to see, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity to perform.

If he wants to be ashamed, he must show his real strength, and he wants Huo Sining to know that although he does not have the ability to identify the true and false with a touch like her, he is not much worse than her.

Li Quan also felt that this opportunity should not be missed, the old lady's grandson did not understand antiques at first glance, if they could go to the old lady's house, maybe there would be unexpected gains.

So as soon as the old lady said this, he immediately moved, and he couldn't wait to agree immediately.

However, he was still a little sensible, and he didn't agree immediately, but glanced at Huo Sining, wanting to ask Huo Sining's opinion.

Huo Sining had already said that she would not interfere in the affairs of this store, and now that Li Quan asked her to make up her mind, of course she would not speak, but shrugged her shoulders and said that she didn't care.

Li Quan is still very stable in this regard, pondered for a while, and then asked slowly: "Old lady, you matter, logically speaking, I must support you, and I understand your difficulties, but I said something that should not be too talkative, you look at it as a beautiful birth, I believe that your husband must have experienced the world, but your grandsons are inevitably a little unreliable." ā€

"You told us now that you are willing to sell something, I am afraid that you may be angry at this time, and when the thing is really sold, it will be too late for you to regret it. So you have to think about it yourself and think it through. ā€

The old lady nodded, looked at Li Quan gently, and said with a smile: "Young man, although you are young, I can see that you are different from ordinary businessmen, you are pure and kind in heart, you are a good person, although this shop has not opened, but I can see that your future is limitless." ā€

Li Quan's face suddenly turned red, and he was suddenly praised by a strange old lady, he felt a little embarrassed, his face was sneering, he couldn't help but reach out and scratch the back of his head, and laughed a few times.

"Don't worry, since I have made my decision, I will not regret it. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, my grandchildren are not good, and most of my body is in the ground, and I don't have so much energy to care about them. My wife didn't leave them a penny, and I didn't need the things I left, and I couldn't spare my energy these days, and they basically collected them all. The rest of the things will definitely be stolen by them and resold by them, so it is better to sell them to you. ā€

Hearing the old lady's words, Li Quan's heart suddenly felt a little sour, the old lady said this, and he had no reason to refuse, nodded and said:

"Old lady, I agree to your request. The 90,000 yuan is not needed, and the tortoiseshell folding fan is not worth much, you can just take it back. I'll accompany you to your home, you can rest assured, if the old gentleman left behind the things are really antiques, we will definitely not let you suffer on the price!"

Li Quan's decision was completely impulsive, and after he finished speaking, he regretted it, and subconsciously raised his head and looked in Huo Sining's direction.

Because of his self-determination, he lost 90,000 yuan in income all of a sudden, and Li Quan was afraid that Huo Sining would blame him, but at this look, Li Quan was stunned.

Instead of showing displeasure, Huo Sining gave him a thumbs up appreciatively, with a very satisfied smile on his face.

This made Li Quan feel encouraged, as excited as if he had been beaten: "Old lady, are you free now, if you are free, I will go with you now, it just so happens that the appraiser in the store is also there, we will go now, and we will not delay you for long, what do you think?"

The old lady had no objection, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm fine, then let's go now." ā€

Li Quan took out the tortoiseshell folding fan that he had collected yesterday from the safe, and as soon as he took it out, the old lady's eyes instantly moistened, but the folding fan was clutched in the palm of his hand, and he was reluctant to let go of the fan in his arms with both hands.

No one in the room spoke, and no one urged the old lady, until the tears in the old lady's eyes faded away, and she said hoarsely, "Let's go." A few people led the old lady out of the store.

Because it didn't open, there was no need to keep people in the store, so Huo Sining and Jiang Xiaoqin didn't stay in the store, locked the door of the store, and the four of them followed the old lady to her house to buy a house.

The car drove all the way to the door of the old lady's house, and Huo Sining found that the place where the old lady's family lived was not very far from the Xicheng District where the Huang family was located, and it was located in the old commercial port area of the imperial capital.

This area should be the most prosperous area of the imperial capital in the Qing Dynasty, and even the mansions of some princes and grandsons are concentrated here, but because of the demolition, many old mansions have been demolished.

The old lady led a few people from the side of the street into an alley, and walked a few hundred meters before they came to a courtyard.

This courtyard is a bit similar to the courtyard of the Huang family, but this house looks a bit like the style of the old-fashioned Republic of China, you can enter through the gatehouse, there are wings on the east and west sides of the courtyard, the house has two floors, and there are two staircase entrances on the left and right sides.

Entering the gatehouse, Huo Sining noticed that under the wall of the gatehouse, close to the wall, there was a stone tablet that looked newer than the material color used in the old mansion, and it was embedded with a marble about two feet square, with a string of numbers on the marble, and two rows of large simplified characters engraved:

Kyoto Cultural Relics Registration and Protection Unit, the former residence of Yan Tielin, the overseer of Xicheng District.

Seeing this stone seat, Huo Sining couldn't help but be stunned.

She is not very familiar with the history of the Republic of China, but she has also heard some of it, she has not heard of this Yan Tielin, but so many years have passed since the warlord period, the Yan family can still live in this house, and the house has not been confiscated, and it can also be established as a cultural relics protection unit, it seems that the Yan family does not seem to be a simple character.

Li Quan also noticed the words on the stone tablet, and was suddenly surprised, and couldn't help but ask: "Old lady, the front and back yards of this house are your family's property?" )
