Chapter Seventy-Seven: Treasure Appreciation

One or two or five coins of silver is not a small amount for the banker's family, Su Xiujin carefully put it in his purse and put it in his arms properly.

"Eh, Miss Su!" Boss Chen entered the door from the backyard with a smile on his face, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

He has been waiting for Su Xiujin to take the initiative to find him since that day, but he waited left and right, and he didn't see Su Xiujin come to the door, the Chen family can be regarded as a rich and faceful family in Ningxi Town, this girl doesn't flatter him, then she must have real skills, and those who have real skills have confidence.

"Boss Chen." Su Xiujin blessed slightly.

"I recently received a batch of good things, but I was worried that no one would show me them, and I took them to the antique store, and I didn't know how many words in their mouths were true and how many were false." Boss Chen said with some distress: "I can't do it, so I think you only have this ability." ”

Su Xiujin didn't shirk this time: "It's still early, I'll just go with Boss Chen, if you can't recognize the truth or falsehood, Boss Chen shouldn't blame it." ”

Boss Chen hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, it's an honor for you to be willing to go." ”

Su Xiujin smiled, this Boss Chen is an antique idiot.

Chen's Mansion is located in South Street, Ningxi Town, the environment of South Street is quiet, most of them are residential, Boss Chen has some reputation in South Street, along the way, there are many neighbors to say hello.

Walking to the door of a house, there was a woman wearing a green silk shirt and a dark violet skirt waiting in front of the door, and when she saw Boss Chen, she said angrily: "Which one did you find this time?" Last time, the liar was still in prison, so you can't rest your mind? ”

Boss Chen muttered, "What do women know? ”

Mrs. Chen was angry, and was just about to teach him a lesson, when she saw a good-looking little lady standing behind Boss Chen, wearing a coral-colored coarse bro skirt, combing a lily bun, fair complexion, ten slender fingers, and a delicate and lovely face, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but admire: "Which little lady is this, she looks really handsome." ”

Su Xiujin bowed slightly. Boss Chen hurriedly introduced: "This is the girl I told you. ”

Mrs. Chen sighed: "The girl was born well, but her fate is a little worse, come in and sit." ”

Su Xiujin entered the door, the Chen family is a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits, three doors in the front and back, a hall, a wing room, and a backyard, and there are more than a dozen rooms before and after, but the courtyard is a little old, and there are few servants, and there are only five or six people.

Mrs. Chen served a pot of good tea, and Su Xiujin hadn't drunk a cup of tea that could be swallowed for a long time, which really relieved her cravings.

Mrs. Chen looked at Su Xiujin, behaved decently, and looked like she was not an ordinary girl, she heard that Su Xiujin was married, and she felt a pity in her heart, her daughter-in-law had been gone for more than two years, and she was very happy with the young girl.

"This is the last time I bought it by the river, a total of three, the man said that this is the previous dynasty's things, they are all genuine, I can't tell the real or false, you used to see a lot, you see if it's real." Boss Chen held three brocade boxes and placed them on the stone table.

Su Xiujin opened the brocade box and asked curiously: "What is it by the river?" ”

Boss Chen explained: "It is by the Jinzhou River, there is a wharf in Ningxi Town, and there are antique merchant ships parked there for half an hour on the 6th and 16th of every month, and I bought them from a boat dealer." ”

In the first brocade box is a small snuff box, the lustrous white jade snuff box is carved with a delicate peony flower picture, Su Xiujin picked up the snuff box through the handkerchief, and looked through the sunlight, the snuff box was crystal clear, and the beam of light could faint over the bottle.

"This snuff box was not worth much in the previous dynasty, and because this snuff bottle was white jade, I bought it for five taels of silver." Boss Chen said.

The snuff bottle was a plaything in the hands of the aristocratic eunuchs in the previous dynasty, even if it was a non-snuff person, it was put in a purse, but the rarer and more precious this antique is, the more common the more cheap it is.

"Boss Chen, this thing is worth buying." Su Xiujin covered the brocade box, "The silver-plated snuff bottle, the peony pattern, the white jade bottle body, the color is excellent, the people who can use this snuff box in the previous dynasty are at least second-grade masters, nobles above the title level, this snuff bottle is more than fifty taels." ”

"Fifty taels?!" Mrs. Chen's mouth grown, and she stretched out her hand to count the accounts, "This is a tenfold increase." ”

Boss Chen was also a little surprised, he looked at the large box of snuff bottles on the merchant ship, so he subconsciously bought it, but he didn't expect to be able to turn over such a big price.

"Look at this again." Boss Chen opened the second brocade box, there was a porcelain bowl lying in this brocade box, the porcelain bowl was blue and white with a white background, the porcelain bowl was extremely thin, Su Xiujin picked up the bowl through the handkerchief, the weight was also very light, the green glaze was distinct, and the porcelain bowl was small and beautiful.

"Eighty taels." Su Xiujin put down the bowl and closed the brocade box.

Boss Chen's face was not surprised or happy, but he was very surprised: "I really spent eighty taels to get it, not a little bit, a lot of points." ”

This time, Boss Chen and his wife looked at Su Xiujin's eyes, and suddenly there was a trace of admiration.

Boss Chen opened the last and largest brocade box, and there was a gilded jade earring vase lying in the brocade box, the vase was delicate and luxurious, and the bottle body was almost overbearing with gilded peony patterns, and the peony patterns were entangled, like a meandering dragon.

Su Xiujin frowned slightly, an elusive brilliance flashed in her eyes, and she put away her veil.

Boss Chen looked at this posture and hurriedly said, "Girl, don't you take a look." ”

Su Xiujin said slowly and with great certainty: "This is fake." ”

"Fake!" Boss Chen almost shouted, "How can this be fake?" I bought it for two hundred taels of silver, how can this be a fake? If you look at this pattern, he said that it was something from the palace of the previous dynasty, and the gilt I looked at was also real gold. ”

Su Xiujin nodded: "The gilt is really good, but this vase is fake, I heard my father say that all the Jiaolong Peony Gilt Bottles have been destroyed, and it is impossible for a second Jiaolong Bottle to appear in this world." ”

"How so?" Boss Chen raised his voice in disbelief, "This is what I paid two hundred taels for, how can this-"

Saying that, Boss Chen's face was like ashes, these two hundred taels are not a small amount, but they are worth a year's expenses for the family.

"Girl, take a closer look, is there anything possible that this is left over from the previous dynasty, and it hasn't been destroyed." Mrs. Chen asked anxiously, although this matter is not once or twice, but two hundred taels is really not a small amount.

Su Xiujin frowned slightly: "The Jiaolong Peony Medicine Gilt Bottle of the previous dynasty was smashed and put into the furnace because it offended the Tianwei of the Heavenly Son of the Dynasty, and the Jiaolong Bottle was registered in the book, so none of them could be left, if one was left, it would be a catastrophe for the Chen family!" ”

Boss Chen staggered two steps, "Doomed? ”

"If you are looked at by someone with a heart and secretly hide the forbidden bottle of the former dynasty, this crime will be punished by twenty or thirty years in prison." Su Xiujin said, she opened the brocade box and stroked the gilt pattern on the bottle: "If Boss Chen wants to alleviate the loss, he can melt the gold on it, which is worth a few taels of silver." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Boss Chen's face completely collapsed, and Mrs. Chen's eyes were red with anxiety, and she shouted: "Tell you not to play with these things, now that the two hundred taels of silver are gone, what do you say!" ”
