Chapter 21: Listen to the Wind

Wen Wan was thinking about it, when she heard a commotion from the second floor, and then an old man in his sixties came down, holding a package in his arms, with a gloomy face, followed by a teenage girl, who was very timidly and uneasy.

Then followed by a young man, who was also unhappy, "Old man, you better try to change homes, we can't help you." ”

The old man said indignantly, "I see that your store is quite large, and there is no expert who knows the goods." ”

"You!" said the young man, who was obviously furious, and did not choose to speak, "I see that you are too old to be as knowledgeable as you, and you brought a fake to us to deceive people, thinking that our experts are all eating dry food!"

"Who do you say?" the old man was so angry that he wanted to continue the theory with him, and the little girl tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Grandpa, forget it, let's change the house." ”

"Let's go. The old man took his granddaughter's hand and turned to leave.

There were still a lot of customers on the first floor, and they knew what was going on at first sight, and they had the heart to pick up the leaks, and one of them stopped the two grandparents, "This old man, what are you selling?

Before the old man could speak, the young man spoke first, "This customer, our experts have already identified it as a fake, if you really like it, you can't turn around and rely on our store, saying that we are conspiring with others to trap people." ”

"How do you talk?" the old man glared at him and said, "I don't sell it, I don't believe that the antique city is so big, and there is no one who knows the goods?"

"Don't. The middle-aged man continued to stop people, looking full of sincerity, "Take it out if it's true or not, young man, don't worry, if I really like it, I will bear the responsibility." This man is also an antique lover, and the more the two of them argue like this, the more his curiosity is aroused, and he is conceited that he knows a little about antiques, and he will not take it lightly.

The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally walked to the nearest counter, spread out the package in his arms, and wrapped a wooden box in it, opened the wooden box and took out a porcelain vase and put it on the countertop.

I saw that this bottle was as thin as a cicada's wings, as thick as the top and bottom, but it was stable on the counter.

The old man said distressedly, "This is a treasure handed down from my ancestors, if it weren't for the sudden disaster at home and the urgent need for money, I wouldn't have taken it out and sold it." The treasure of the ruined family is really worthy of the ancestors. ”

The antique lover lowered his head and looked at it carefully, hesitating, "This bottle looks pretty beautiful, but this shape is really strange, it seems that this kind of bottle has never appeared in history?"

The old man's disappointment was overflowing, and it seemed that he was a person who didn't know how to pretend to understand, "My family has been passed down for many generations, and it is really an antique." ”

"Whew. The young man laughed out loud and said disdainfully, "What has been passed down for many years, and there are still words at the bottom of the bottle, Jingdezhen, you really treat us as idiots." ”

"Ahh The antique lover was taken aback, and the old man's eyes changed, obviously looking at the liar.

The old man glared at the young man fiercely, "I said it, it was when the four old bottles were broken, and my father specially asked someone to print them in order to protect the bottle, and you can remove it by finding a special restoration master." ”

"You're a liar. The young man retorted unceremoniously.

Wen Wan happened to be not far away, and she didn't want to be nosy, but seeing that the little girl was not very old, she looked sad, and although the old man was angry, he couldn't hide the tiredness between his expressions, and couldn't help but feel compassion.

Walked two steps forward, "This old man, can I pick it up and take a look?"

The old man saw that she was not very old, and he didn't have the confidence to say, "Forget it, I'll change it." ”

"Old man, I just look and there is no loss. Wen Wan said as softly as she could, seeing that the old man had been deeply affected and was in a bad mood.

"This Lady"

The young man still wanted to speak, but Wen Wan stopped, "I'll take a look, you don't have to worry, I won't come to your shop if something goes wrong." ”

The young man had to shut up, no store would want anyone to buy a fake in his store, even if it was not sold in his own store, it was easy to cause disputes, but the customer insisted, he had no choice.

"Okay. The old man nodded his head in response, but apparently did not hold out any more hope.

Wen Wan picked up the bottle, and immediately a faint blue light appeared in front of her, is this really an antique?

She flipped the bottle over to reveal the base, which was six diamond-shaped, no wonder it was so stable at the same thickness. It's just that the pedestal is indeed as the young man said, there is a small red seal, which is written in Jingdezhen.

Wen Wan knew that Jingdezhen was now the largest porcelain manufacturing place, and most of the porcelain flowed from there.

When the antique lover saw this little red mark, he shook his head and left, "Sure enough, it's a fake." Hey, people's hearts are not ancient. An old man with a little girl even came out to deceive, it is still such an inferior deception. ”

The little girl's eyes immediately turned red, and the old man shouted at Wen Wan with a calm face, "Give it back to me." ”

Wen Wan gently put down the bottle and asked the price, "Old man, how much do you want to sell this?"

"You want to buy it?" the old man was stunned, and the onlookers were also stunned.

"Yes. ”

"I'm selling this as an antique, not a fake. The old man confirmed.

"I know, how much are you asking?"

Wen Wan was so refreshing, the old man hesitated a little, and the good fortune came so quickly that he couldn't believe it.

"This young lady," said the young man again.

"I know. Wen Wan stopped him again, "This is what I want to buy myself, whether it's true or not, it has nothing to do with your store." ”

The young man shut up, but still puzzled.

"500,000. The old man gritted his teeth and finally spoke, with 500,000 yuan to solve his family's urgent need.

Wen Wan didn't know if it was worth it, she turned sideways and asked the salesman who served her at the beginning, "How much did you sell that piece of dragon and phoenix pattern jade in the early Ming Dynasty just now?"

The saleswoman was also watching the excitement, and when she heard this, she was stunned and immediately replied, "800,000." ”

The same blue light, one 800,000 yuan, one 500,000 yuan, the price is about the same, so he said to the old man, "Okay, I want it." ”

As soon as this remark came out, the onlookers were taken aback, and the young man was about to speak again, and his colleague next to him pulled his clothes, so he remained silent this time.

But the old man couldn't believe it, "500,000, you really want it?"

"Of course. I don't have that much cash with me, can I transfer money?"

"Yes, yes. The old man was overjoyed and said to his granddaughter beside him, "Niuniu, take out the card number that your father gave you before he went out." ”

The little girl was also very happy, and took out a piece of paper from her pocket, "Sister, here you go, you just need to transfer to this account." ”

Wen Wan took it, and transferred the account cleanly, and the technology became proficient after transferring more.

When the little girl saw that Wen Wan was finished, she spoke timidly, "Sister, can I use your mobile phone to make a call?"

"Absolutely. Wen Wan handed over her mobile phone, and the little girl showed a bright smile.

She seemed to call home to verify, and got a positive reply from the other party, her smile was even more sunny, and she hung up the phone and came back, not forgetting to say loudly, "Sister, thank you, you are really a good person." ”

Wen Wan touched her head and accepted her compliment with a smile.

The old man and the little girl went out happily, and Wen Wan put the bottle back in the box and put it away, but the young man couldn't help but ask, "Why do you buy it when you know it's fake? ”

Wen Wan shook her head, "They are old and small, they don't look like liars." ”

"The four words at the bottom of this bottle already speak for themselves, why do you still believe them?" the young man was anxious.

"The old man also explained the reason. ”

"Do you believe that?" exclaimed the young man incredulously.

Wen Wan smiled and said, "I believe it." ”

"Isn't this Miss Wen?" suddenly someone called out in surprise.

The two turned their heads, and when the young man saw the comer, he immediately called out respectfully, "Mr. Xu." ”

Wen Wan saw it, it was an acquaintance, Xu Ranzhi, who met yesterday, there was a handsome and extraordinary man standing next to him, his facial features were slightly stiff, and he could see that he was a person with a firm heart, staring at himself expressionlessly at the moment, thoughtful.

Gently frowning in displeasure, the man seemed to realize his gaffe, and immediately turned his gaze to Xu Ranzhi.

Xu Ranzhi was quite happy, "Miss Wen, why don't you say hello when you come to Ruyizhai?" If I didn't happen to come down to see off the guests, wouldn't I miss it?"

"Mr. Xu is polite, I'm just casually strolling. ”

Xu Ranzhi saw the box in her hand and asked with interest, "Miss Wen has an antique that you can look at? However, this doesn't seem to be the box in our store?"

"Mr. Xu has a good eye, I just bought it from an old man. ”

"What's going on?" Xu Ranzhi looked at the young man standing on the side, he was the store manager on the first floor, and listened to him explain the ins and outs of the matter.

With this statement, not only Xu Ranzhi, but even the man he was about to send off was also interested in the contents of the gentle box.

"Miss Wen, can I take a look?" Xu Ranzhi immediately asked.

"Absolutely. Even if Xu Ranzhi didn't speak, Wen Wan wanted to ask this expert to help identify it, after all, her understanding of antiques was too little, and the light alone couldn't explain anything.

Xu Ranzhi opened it and only glanced at it, then showed a stern expression, and carefully took out the bottle, the more he looked at his face, the more ugly it became, between distress and regret.

After a while, he placed the bottle on the counter, and someone took a fan and fanned it gently, when something strange happened, the bottle shook slightly, and there was a jingling sound of wind.

"What's going on?" the onlookers were amazed, along with Wen Wan.

Xu Ranzhi didn't answer directly, but asked the store manager on the first floor, "Who identified this?"

"Old Qin on the second floor. ”

Xu Ranzhi shook his head and did not speak again.

"Mr. Xu?" Wen Wan was anxious.

"Miss Wen is really lucky. This is not an ordinary bottle, this is the Song Dynasty's listening bottle, because the number of people is small, most people have almost never heard of it, and it actually makes you pick up a big leak in our store. ”

"Listen to the bottle. Everyone who heard it chewed these three words slowly, and sure enough, none of them had heard of it.

"In the Song Dynasty, on the Bogu shelf in the home of the powerful people, there will be a listening to the wind bottle, there is a wind and grass will shake slightly, and accompanied by the sound of the wind, it is interesting, so the name is to listen to the wind. Xu Ranzhi continued to explain.

"Song Dynasty?" Wen Wan heard these two words, isn't the blue light from the Ming Dynasty?

The store manager on the first floor was not convinced, "Mr. Xu, there is obviously a Jingdezhen system down here." How could it be from the Song Dynasty?"

"Ridiculous. Such a beautiful bottle, just those four words negate its value. The old man who sold the bottle didn't also say that it was specially kept to protect it, and he just asked the restoration master to wash it. Such a priceless treasure is lost in your hands, you should reflect on it. Xu Ranzhi was obviously angry, and anyone who knew that he was rubbing shoulders with such a baby would not be calm.

"And how much is this worth?" the manager asked nervously.

"At least two million. ”

"So much?" Wen Wan was surprised, "Isn't that dragon and phoenix pattern jade in your store in the early Ming Dynasty only 800,000?"

"How can this be the same, porcelain itself is more expensive than jade, and the wind bottle is unique to the Song Dynasty, and the amount handed down is very small. This wind bottle should have a base, but unfortunately it was lost, otherwise the price would be higher. ”

Wen Wan is not greedy, but she is still very happy to hear that she has picked up such a big leak. She didn't notice that the handsome man next to Xu Ranzhi looked at her with a deeper look.
