Chapter 525: The Shopkeeper's Fool
The treasure of the town store!?
Hearing Alice's words, everyone looked at her in surprise.
Even the old man over there who was holding a magnifying glass and carefully looking for objects couldn't help but turn his head to look at Alice, then shook his head and smiled, no longer paying attention.
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, but his face showed a tangled look, and then he said, "This young lady, do you want to buy the treasure of our town store?"
"yes, what's the problem?" asked Alice curiously.
"I'll not hide it from you, there is only one treasure in our store, and it is not sold under normal circumstances. Because it represents the things of the town store, if someone buys it, the luck of our store will also drop a lot, and then it will even affect the foundation of the store, and the business will be bleak in the future. "The shopkeeper made a big call.
It probably means that the treasure of the town store does not want to be sold.
But Alice heard the key to it, and immediately said: "You said that it would not be sold under normal circumstances, so under what circumstances will it be sold?"
Alice likes antiques, but she doesn't know much about things like luck and feng shui in Huaxia, but it doesn't prevent her from being in awe.
Because she is not an ordinary person herself, she can naturally come into contact with more things than ordinary people, so she believes in some things that she can't see.
The shopkeeper was still quite entangled, thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, I won't take advantage of you, the treasure of our town store can probably bring about 50,000 yuan a year to my store, because most people come because of it." The luck on its body can probably last for more than ten years, even if you are good in 10 years, 5 times 10 is equal to 500,000, plus the price of the treasure of the town store itself, you can give 1.3 million. ”
"1.3 million!?"
Just now, he was calm, as if Alice was bound to win, and after hearing this price, he suddenly screamed.
Although she loves antiques, this is the first time she has bought it.
Last time, when she accompanied her friends to go around, she valued the treasure of this store, but she didn't ask much about the price, but she didn't expect to ask such a high price when she asked casually!
In addition to Chen Hao, Hu Xuelin and Ning Xi also showed surprise on their faces.
Although Hu Xuelin is not short of money, when he heard that a treasure of the town store would cost millions, he naturally became curious about that thing.
"There's no way, this is something that suppresses luck, and the asking price is naturally higher than before, and you can inquire, luck is not something that can be bought with money. The shopkeeper explained, but there was a triumph and anticipation in his eyes.
"But I don't know what luck you're talking about, I just want to buy an antique as a birthday present. Alice frowned slightly, the price made her a little unbearable.
But the words had already been spoken, so she had to buy it back!
The shopkeeper still patiently explained: "The so-called luck actually represents the strength of luck in all aspects of people, such as financial luck, longevity luck, and official luck...... Even physical health and relationships are closely related to it, and the more luck you get, the better these things will get in the future. In other words, the money you spend now will be earned back in a very short period of time because of luck!"
Seeing the shopkeeper fooling Alice seriously, and the latter also listening seriously, Chen Hao couldn't help but want to laugh.
In addition to people who don't understand it, this thing is more specially used to deceive foreigners.
Although Chen Hao doesn't know antiques, he saw a Chinese man in a foreign Chinatown and used this luck to fool a foreigner who spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a bracelet made of acacia beans.
Hu Xuelin really couldn't stand it, she found that Alice was really thinking about it, as if she was determined to buy it immediately, and immediately said to the shopkeeper: "Take out the things and show us first." ”
She hasn't seen anything yet, so whether it's true or not, she has to bargain before she buys it.
"yes, get the stuff out first. Alice immediately agreed, "I only watched it for a while last time, but this time I have to look carefully." ”
The owner was expecting to set the price immediately, but he didn't expect people to look at things first.
He had no choice but to take out a black wooden box from the counter, put it on the counter, and prepared to open it immediately.
Everyone else gathered around.
The old man over there also glanced this way, as if he also wanted to see the legend. The "Treasure of the Town Store".
A lock hangs from the black wooden box.
Click.
After the shopkeeper found the key, he inserted it into the lock hole, and with a slight twist, the wooden box opened.
When the box was opened, all eyes looked inside.
only to find that there are a lot of things inside.
There were about seven or eight items.
One of the most conspicuous is a golden glass turtle, which reflects wisps of bright fluorescence under the light of the store, which is very beautiful.
While everyone was attracted by this golden turtle, Chen Hao's eyes were staring at the other thing inside.
Because that's a ...... Crown!
……
Capital.
The scenery of the capital in late summer and autumn is still the same, as the capital of China, it is full of distinctiveness and heritage, but more is a heaviness.
A mansion similar to the ancient eunuch's mansion, under a cool courtyard, a man and a woman are playing chess face to face, both of them are about forty years old, the man is full of heroism, and there is still a trace of handsomeness in his youth in the sharp edges and corners.
The woman is beautiful, but she is more virtuous and lovely, and her whole body reveals elegance and demureness.
Next to the two stood a tall and handsome young man.
"Ao'er, how are you doing?" After the middle-aged man put a white chess piece on the chessboard, he turned his head and asked the young man next to him.
The tone is ordinary, as if family members are chatting and talking, but there is a hint of majesty in the voice.
The young man's name is Chen Ao, and he is the son of the two people in front of him, but he is not his own son, but the son left behind after the death of an old man.
Hearing the middle-aged man's inquiry, the young man named Chen Ao immediately said respectfully: "Father, the child has been organizing people to search for it all these years, but it's just ...... It's just that there has never been a single news of him. ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes darkened, but the elegant beauty's eyes suddenly turned red, and her eyes were full of tears.
"Brother Xiong, I'm tired and want to go and rest first. The beautiful woman gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her bare hands, then got up and whispered to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man sighed lightly: "You go and rest first, you don't have to worry about Hao'er's affairs, as long as I am alive, I must find our son!"
