Then Yi Yang asked about the situation: "Xiaochao, you must know your grandfather's temperament and preferences very well, do you know what he likes?" If you want to prepare some gifts, what do you think is the best thing to give? ”

He is very sincere in asking Bai Wenchao for advice, and this step is very important to him, because only by making a good impression on the other party can he talk about the rest of the matter.

"You know my grandfather's hobbies, he is also an antique lover and likes to collect antiques." Bai Wenchao replied truthfully, "However, his collection has a direction of specialization, that is, he likes to collect ancient weapons, cold weapons and hot weapons. ”

"It turns out that your grandfather likes to collect ancient weapons? It's really personal, it's interesting. Yi Yang was surprised.

Listening to Bai Wenchao's words, Yi Yang had a bottom in his heart, since the old man likes to collect ancient weapons, then prepare such a gift, it is a wise choice to do what he likes.

"That's right!" Bai Wenchao nodded heavily, and said with a fluttering eyebrow, "My grandfather's house has a lot of ancient weapons, from the pre-Qin to the Ming and Qing dynasties, he has a collection, and there are many fine products." ”

"Oh, is it? That's good. Yi Yang exclaimed, "Xiaochao, let's go and have a look now." ”

"What to see?" Bai Wenchao was shocked.

Yi Yang said: "Go to the antique market to see if there are any suitable ancient weapons, so that you can take one and give it to your grandfather." It's a pity that I don't have that kind of antique in my hands now, otherwise it would be convenient. ”

Bai Wenchao shook his head and said, "Brother Yi Yang, don't you want this, right?" ”

"Why not? It's a must! Yi Yang said resolutely.

After finishing speaking, he stood up and prepared to buy an antique weapon and give it to Bai Wenchao's grandfather.

Bai Wenchao had no choice but to follow him, but Sun Shangwu didn't say anything, and listened to Yi Yang's instructions.

Later, they left the restaurant and went to the nearby Liuli Factory to see something.

Yi Yang remembered that when they visited before, they found bronze swords and other ancient weapons, so they went shopping again, and although they found the batch of ancient weapons they had seen before, the quality was not good, either fakes or things were very inferior, and they were not enough to give a big gift.

"Xiaochao, let's go to Panjiayuan again, it's still early anyway." At the end, Yi Yang greeted Bai Wenchao.

Bai Wenchao responded: "Okay." ”

He knew that Yi Yang had made up his mind to prepare a good gift for his grandfather and surprise him, so his top priority was to accompany Yi Yang to prepare a gift, after all, he also hoped that the other party would be treated by his grandfather.

After saying that, Yi Yang and the others set off, and Sun Shangwu drove them over.

It didn't take long for Yi Yang and the three of them to drive to Panjiayuan, this is the third time Yi Yang has come to this place, the first two times are related to the "antique Shih" Lin Shiyin, and unconsciously, he seems to have formed some kind of deep relationship with the other party.

After entering the Panjiayuan antique market, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao took a casual stroll first, although they also found some ancient weapons, such as swords, but the quality was really difficult to compliment, in line with the principle of preferring shortage to excess, Yi Yang decisively gave up.

"Brother Yi Yang, it's hard to find." Bai Wenchao suddenly sighed and said, "Why don't we prepare some other gifts." ”

Yi Yang said with a straight face: "No." We still have a way. Xiaochao, let's go find someone. ”

"Looking for whom?" Bai Wenchao wondered.

Yi Yang said: "Lin Shiyin. She has been setting up a stall in this place for so long, and she must have a good idea of the situation around her, and knows where to sell what we need. ”

"You mean 'antique Shih Tzu'?!" Bai Wenchao's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, it's clear when you ask her!" I didn't expect this to come up just now, you have such a good relationship with Lin Shiyin now, she is a big acquaintance! ”

Yi Yang said: "Let's go, let's go ask first." ”

So at that moment, he took Bai Wenchao and Sun Shangwu and walked straight to the place where Lin Shiyin set up a stall, and after a while, they approached each other's stalls.

At this time, she saw that Lin Shiyin was busy behind the stall, and she didn't notice that someone approached the stall.

"Boss, how do you sell this thing?" Yi Yang suddenly leaned over and picked up an antique on the stall and asked in a loud voice.

Naturally, he said this on purpose, just in a different way of greeting.

"Huh?!" Hearing this, Lin Shiyin was taken aback, and immediately raised her head to look, of course she could hear Yi Yang's voice, and the other party's sudden appearance undoubtedly surprised her.

"Yi Yang, you...... What are you doing here?! Lin Shiyin was surprised.

Her face turned red for a moment, and she looked a little flustered.

Yi Yang smiled slightly, and said seriously: "Come and visit your stall, I don't know if I have received any good things in the past two days." Oh, by the way, let me introduce you first, this is an old friend we met not long ago, his name is Sun Shangwu, he is an authentic Beijinger, and he is also a connoisseur of antique shops. Brother Sun, she is Lin Shiyin, the old stall owner of Panjiayuan, who has been setting up an antique stall for many years. ”

"Hehe, I know." Sun Shangwu nodded at Lin Shiyin with a smile.

"What, you've known her for a long time?" Yi Yang was surprised.

Sun Shangwu said: "Yes, 'Antique Xi Shi', that's what they say, who doesn't know Miss Lin's name in this Pan Jiayuan?" To tell you the truth, I used to come here every week for a walk, but after a long time, I generally understand the situation here, and Miss Lin naturally knows about it. ”

"Hello." Hearing Sun Shangwu praise himself, and the other party was Yi Yang's good friend, Lin Shiyin was happy in her heart, and hurriedly said hello very politely.

"Hello." Sun Shangwu also nodded in greeting.

"Yi Yang, do you want that terracotta figurine?" Lin Shiyin suddenly pointed to the pottery figure in Yi Yang's hand and asked, "If you like it, then take it and play with it." ”

"Oh no, hehe, this one is for you." Yi Yang shook his head, then put the thing back in its place, and then said bluntly, "Shishi, I came to ask you for a favor." ”

He called Lin Shiyin by his nickname, and now that their relationship is extraordinary, it is common to call them so.

"What's the matter?" Lin Shiyin said solemnly, "You say, as long as you can do it, I will definitely help you." ”

Yi Yang helped her so much before, and now that the other party has a request for herself, she will naturally do her best to help.

Yi Yang said: "We want to buy a weapon, an ancient weapon, with good quality and great collection value. I don't know if you know where this kind of stuff is sold. ”

"Ancient weapons? Is it a bronze sword or something? Lin Shiyin asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Yi Yang nodded vigorously and said, "Swords are fine, if you want old goods, just new imitations." ”

"Yes." Lin Shiyin said, "I know where this kind of thing is sold, you can follow me to see the goods." ”

"That's great! Shishi, you take us there. I urgently need an ancient weapon right now. Yi Yang said happily.

After agreeing to Yi Yang's request, Lin Shiyin beckoned an acquaintance stall owner next to her and asked him to help take care of it, and she then led Yi Yang and them to inspect the goods, and what they saw was naturally what Yi Yang needed.

Soon they walked into a nearby antique shop, the owner of which was a short, thin middle-aged man.

"Uncle Wang, may I ask, is the sword in your store still there? It's the long sword you planned to sell to Shao Xinmin before. After seeing the store, Lin Shiyin asked about the situation straight to the point.

"Yes! Do you need it? Uncle Wang asked, and he glanced at Yi Yang and them during the question.

Lin Shiyin pointed to Yi Yang who was standing beside him and said, "This friend of mine wants it." Can you take out your sword and show them first? ”

Uncle Wang nodded happily and agreed, "Yes, please wait a while, just sit down." ”

Yi Yang said politely: "It's hard work." ”

It seems that there is a drama, Yi Yang is waiting for this moment, and he will be relieved when the gift is ready, otherwise this matter will not be easy to do.

Not long after, Uncle Wang took out a long wooden box from the inner room, the box was antique, but the decoration on the surface was a little strange, with foreign letters, a bit exotic.

"Boss Wang, what kind of sword is this?" After taking the things and placing them on the table, Yi Yang asked curiously, he was a little impatient.

Although he didn't know what kind of sword was in the box, Yi Yang already knew its nature, because when the thing approached, he obviously sensed an aura, which showed that it was an antique, whether it was true or not, but it was definitely a certain age, so it was worth seeing.

"Brother, this is a beautiful ancient Western sword, a knight's sword." Boss Wang introduced, and then he carefully opened the box and took out a long sword with a sheath.

The body of the sword was about a meter long, and the sword shape was small, thinner than ordinary swords.

"Ancient Knight Sword?" At first sight, Yi Yang couldn't help but be surprised, this was really a very special ancient sword, which was very different from the ancient swords he had seen before.

Maybe that's exactly what he's looking for!

"Brother, you see, this scabbard is in good condition, and the small and dense patterns are so exquisite, and it has that charm!" Uncle Wang said with a smile, "This Western knight's sword is not easy to come by, I can't hide it, it was picked up by an old friend of mine from London, England, and it is very collectible." ”

Yi Yang nodded and said, "Well, it feels good." Boss Wang, please pull out your sword and take a look. ”

Although he was sure that the thing was an antique, he hadn't seen its true face yet, and he didn't know what it looked like and what the quality was.

But there should be no damage, otherwise the golden thread hidden in his right eye will come alive.

In fact, it is better if there is damage, because then there is room for repair, and the price will be greatly discounted, so that he will benefit.

The most important thing is the quality of the sword, the more beautiful it is, the more it fits people's hearts.

At Yi Yang's request, Uncle Wang pulled out his sword and made a crisp and pleasant "Cang Lang Lang" sound.

"It's really beautiful!"

The moment the sword was drawn out of the sheath, Yi Yang's eyes lit up, and he saw that the sword was preserved as new, and the blade was cold and shining, and it seemed to be extremely sharp.

At the same time, Bai Wenchao and Sun Shangwu also looked at the sword with a strange style on their faces.

"Brother, it's this sword, you think it's the same as new, don't you? Very well preserved! After showing his sword, Uncle Wang said with some excitement in his tone.

Yi Yang said: "It is indeed well preserved. Boss Wang, can you hand it to me and enjoy it? ”

"Of course, you can see." Uncle Wang agreed without hesitation, and then handed the sword to Yi Yang, and specially advised: "Be careful, don't be touched by the blade, it can be very sharp, so as not to hurt yourself." ”

"yes, I know." Yi Yang Haosheng took it, and the sword body was light and light.

At that moment, Yi Yang took a closer look, the blade was an acute angle isosceles triangle, 70 long, the grip was only for one hand, and there was a large counterweight ball.

If you look closely, you can see that the center of the sword is painted with subtle patterns, and the hilt is also beautifully decorated, making it a gorgeous sword.

"You should be able to see that this is a knight's sword." Uncle Wang explained on the side, "In the 11th century, the knights on horses in European countries appeared with special weapons, spears and kite shields, but the use of shields and the control of horses made the knights' long swords lose the value of using both hands, and the narrow and thin swords were not enough to destroy the chain mail, so the knights' special swords appeared, and this kind of knight sword can give full play to the power of stabbing in horse warfare." However, in case you have to fight on foot, this kind of sword slashing is too bad...... So by the 12th century, broadswords and chopping swords appeared again......"

It seemed that he was very clear about the situation of the Western Knight's Sword, and after hearing this, Yi Yang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Boss Wang, how can this sword be sold?" ”

He asked the price directly, Boss Wang looked at Lin Shiyin on the side, and replied with a smile: "Since you are a friend brought by Shishi, you are an acquaintance, and I will give you the greatest discount." This sword originally cost 50,000 yuan, but if you want it sincerely, take it for 30,000 yuan, and give you almost half of the discount. ”

"Uncle Wang, can you have less?" Lin Shiyin asked first.

"Shishi, it's okay." Without waiting for Boss Wang to speak, Yi Yang accosted him and said, "30,000 is 30,000, it can be seen that Boss Wang really gave me a great discount, how can I get an inch?" ”

In his opinion, this exquisite knight's sword in front of him is very worthy of collection, because this kind of sword is rare in the domestic antique market, even if you see it, it is mostly new, it is difficult to see such an open antique, so the price of 30,000 is very reliable.

Even if 30,000 is a little higher, it's nothing, just make a new friend, and you can receive good things from the other party in the future.

"Brother, so, you want this sword?" Seeing that Yi Yang was so refreshing, Boss Wang said happily.

"Yes, wrap it up for me, and I'll pay you right away." Yi Yang nodded without thinking.

The deal was settled smoothly.
