Hou Sheng is a popular person in front of the town guard, and when he was circling among a group of warblers and Yanyan for Tan Rulin earlier, he ran outside to buy new things, so as soon as he arrived at the antique restaurant, the shopkeeper was busy and greeted the door, and shouted: "Rare customers, Hou Ye hasn't seen you for many days, how are you doing recently?" ”

Hou Shengzi arched his hand towards him, but said with a smile: "Good or bad, can't the shopkeeper see it?" It's just the same old thing. ”

The shopkeeper smiled, beckoned him to sit in the store, and asked the shop guy to serve tea, while looking Hou Sheng up and down a few times. He was telling the truth, Hou Sheng followed Zhongqing in the past two years, and without special instructions, he would never dare to leave the Fengqiao Mansion without permission, so as not to be suspicious of Zhongqing, so there were fewer familiar shops. However, Hou Sheng's complexion is better than when he was on an errand by Tan Rulin's side, probably less than rushing, the whole person looks very energetic, and the shopkeeper said: "Look at Hou Ye's red face, it seems that good things are coming, hasn't he been promoted in the past two years?" ”

Hou Sheng said with a smile: "Boss Shi also exalts me too much, what can I do to be promoted?" It's just a liter in the name. However, when it comes to good things approaching, I think Boss Shi has good things. ”

Shi Zhang was surprised, and said with a smile after a moment: "Hou Ye Mo is joking with me, Shi has been guarding this antique Zhai all day long, and almost he has to become an antique, where is there anything good coming?" ”

Hou Sheng waved his hand and said, "It's not appropriate to say so, I'm a person who uses people's money to do things for others, shouldn't Boss Shi think that I'm here to accompany you to laugh and laugh?" ”

The shopkeeper suddenly realized, and hurriedly patted his head and laughed: "Blame me, blame me." Almost lost such a great good thing. Hou Ye is an old customer, let's get straight to the point. Who are you doing for the town guard this time? It doesn't matter who it is, as long as you are alert. I'm sure I'll be able to find a good object for you. ”

Hou Sheng said: "Boss Shi's vision is naturally powerful, but you always guessed wrong this time, I don't want to find something for our master, but for our wife's mother's family." ”

"Your wife's maiden family?" The shopkeeper Shi muttered in his mouth, in view of the fact that Zhongqing's name has been known in Shanghai for a long time, there is no one on the streets who does not know her prominent identity as the second lady of the Li family in Beiling, and after thinking about it, he immediately understood that what Hou Sheng said was bought from the Li family in Beiling. That's a famous family, what kind of good things haven't you seen? He looked around wordlessly. If he is an ordinary person who deals with Shanghai officialdom, he can find a bunch of things, but if he goes to deal with the Li family in Beiling, he really has to think a lot of work. It's just that there are more Li family members, who is this for?

He groaned slightly, then leaned over and asked Hou Sheng: "I don't know which one the wife in the house wants to buy and give to, Hou Ye said that I have a bottom in my heart." ”

Hou Sheng chuckled, the guy in the shop serving the tea had already brought up the tea tray, and Hou Sheng took the tea. I was not in a hurry or annoyed, I just held the bottom of the teacup in the palm of my hand, took the teacup lid in one hand, and blew lightly on the tea soup. Drinking slowly, he said slowly, "It was given to the third young master of our wife's mother's family." ”

"Third Young Master?" The stone shopkeeper belched, this is another difficult point. What kind of character is the third young master? The son of the first class family. Since childhood, I grew up in brocade jade antique treasures, what Wumen four Yangzhou eight strange. I'm afraid I won't be able to get into his eyes. He got up and persuaded Hou Sheng to sit down. When I went to the room, I put out the treasured things one by one, weighed and took out some, found a silver tray with red silk cloth, and held it to Hou Sheng one by one, and showed him: "Master Hou, these are all things from the town store, thanks to your house, I dare to take it out, and I will never show my face if I change others." You can take a look, this thing is the bird cage mentioned in the "Secret Collection", Ming Jia regularly carved the bamboo of the Zhu Crane made, carved flowers and birds on the bamboo piece, only to become this thing. And this Goryeo white pine fan, the exhibition is more than a foot wide, and it is only two fingers together, which is the most suitable to wear on the body. There is this, the red sandalwood box, is the former palace in the royal thing, I don't know what was put before, open it and put it in the house, you can fill the room with incense, and in case of heat, it is excellent to repel insects and ward off evil spirits. ”

He took it the same, and Hou Sheng looked at it one by one. Although this antique shop looks small, it can't stand the shop owner's wide road, and the things you get are more exquisite and atmospheric than those in other stores, and the age is far away. The stone shopkeeper took out these pieces, and it can be seen that they are very attentive, and any one of them is worth a thousand gold. But...... Hou Sheng took the folding fan in the hand of the shopkeeper and fiddled with a few handfuls, and finally put it back in his hand, shook his head and smiled: "The thing is a good thing, but it is not something that our wife wants." Birdcage folding fan wooden box, the Li family not to say that there are hundreds, but also dozens. They lived in the old mansion of the previous dynasty, and almost nothing was touched in it, how could they be missing? Boss Shi, I'm going to trouble you to look for it again. ”

Looking for it again? The shopkeeper Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly, people said that Shi Chong was rich and rivaled the country, he didn't catch up with him when he was born late, and now after listening to Hou Sheng's words, his intuition is to see the contemporary Shi Chong. With such treasures, the Li family can be seen everywhere, which shows the richness of their family background. No wonder people say that the current government is just a façade, and the real power has to be Prime Minister Li.

He was secretly speechless, since the things he took out were useless, he had to reluctantly take them back. It's just that if you collect and collect, you may not be able to find a better one than these. The shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, Hou Shengming saw it, so he clapped his hands a few times with a smile, lightly dusted off the dust on his sleeves and said, "Boss Shi, I think you have gone astray." I didn't say the word valuable, according to what our wife said, the third young master likes KitKat the most, you don't care about the price, just take out the KitKat thing. ”

"This ...... KitKat ...... Hey! The shopkeeper patted his thigh, but said with a smile, "Master Hou, you are sincerely coming to see my jokes, if you are looking for something kitsch, you said it earlier." It's a lot of KitKat, you wait, I'll find it for you. ”

So saying, he went back into the back room. Although Hou Sheng said that he was not greedy for valuables, he was a businessman, and naturally hoped to sell as much as possible, so he went to the inside to take out all those strange and expensive ones. Hou Sheng's eyes were full of confusion, and he hurriedly smiled again: "One or two pieces is enough, why do you still set up a stall?" ”

Shopkeeper Shi smiled: "Isn't it up to you to choose?" ”

Hou Sheng thought that he knew that he was calculating, and couldn't help laughing: "How can I have such kung fu to pick out a big talent?" This shop is your old shop, and the business is your old business, you just have to choose it for me, and talk about it in or not. ”

"Then Shi can only try his best."

The shopkeeper was waiting for him, and he didn't say much at the moment, he rummaged through a pile of treasures, found two or three things, handed them to Hou Shengyan, and said: "If you want to talk about KitKat, this painted enamel pocket watch and green lacquered wooden gold-painted telescope are all things that Westerners paid tribute to back then, and they are a new thing." There is also this wood-framed glass piece, which is inlaid with two pieces of painted round glass in the center of the wooden panel, and the round glass is stacked on top of each other, so that both sides can be viewed. The round glass is fixed with a metal ring with a gear inside, and an iron handle on the board, the straight end of which is embedded in the metal ring and connected to the gear. Turn the iron handle and drive the gears, and the painted surface of the glass picture will be flipped and moved. When you look at this piece of glass, it's like a landscape painting, and there are all kinds of scenery. ”

As he spoke, he personally demonstrated it to Hou Sheng. Since they are all things that were picked up from the palace, the value must be very expensive, Hou Sheng was happy to see it, and said: "Finally, your old eyesight is not bad, these things are much more pleasing than your calligraphy and paintings." Okay, that's all, don't fool me, don't coax me, everyone is an old acquaintance, you always give me a price. ”

Seeing that Hou Sheng liked it like this, the shopkeeper Shi was very happy in his heart, so he said: "This is also your coincidence, the pocket watch was only delivered to the store in the morning." One wrong step will not reach you. ”

Hou Sheng smiled, and the shopkeeper Shi asked someone to box everything up, take care of it completely, and then came over and calculated the price, although it was a clear price, it cost seven or eight thousand. Hou Sheng carried 10,000 cash in his arms when he came, and at this moment he carried these valuables back, and he was careful and careful along the way, for fear of bumping.

Zhong Qing was sitting in the living room, and Hou Sheng hurriedly asked people to bring all the things up, and gave her a look first. Zhong Qing played with everything, but he didn't have any opinions, as for the money spent, Hou Sheng thought he knew it, so he didn't ask any more, but said, "Mom hasn't seen it yet, I'll take it to her old man's house to see." ”

Hou Sheng took the things again and sent them upstairs to Zhongqing. When Yu woke up, Na Lin took the things and put them into the house, and said with a smile: "Look, madam, these things that the second lady bought are really interesting." Thanks to her understanding of the third young master, she bought everything carefully. ”

When Yu heard this, the initial laziness was swept away, and he stood up and said, "Is it? Their brothers and sisters have always gotten along harmoniously, and they know each other's temperament very well. ”

Zhongqing also came into the house and listened to her mother, but she just smiled and kept silent.

Na Lin put her things down and walked over to look at them with her arms. Everything else is okay, the Yu family has lived in the Yu family for 20 years, married to the Li family, the Li family is richer than the Yu family, those glass pieces and binoculars are all children's things, I don't care much, only that pocket watch, how to look at it is very familiar.

Black shark skin inlaid with gold flower case, glass mask, white enamel dial, a goddess caressing the five-stringed piano in the middle of the outside of the back case, and the cherub plucking the strings to play; four enamel paintings of natural scenery painted on the side openings; Inside there are also enamel paintings of river popular boat scenery. Attached to the silver plum blossom rope chain painted finely, with rich colors, is the top grade in the enamel table, it is rare, she has only seen it in the hands of her mother a few times in her life. The last time I saw it was when my mother gave this pocket watch to Shu Yun.
