Chapter 19 The Zhang Family
Old man Mi squinted at the bronze small tripod covered by Ye Fei's palm, and secretly calculated in his heart, this object was taken from the old house in the countryside two days ago, and someone had already found someone to identify it as a modern imitation, and it cost a total of five hundred yuan together with the broken celadon bottle.
Ye Fei picked up Xiao Ding and checked it, and asked in a low voice, "This object is a bit interesting, how much does it cost?" β
Old man Mi deliberately glanced at the copper tripod in his hand, and replied with a serious face: "This is an old thing, I finally got it from the old house, and I just said the cost price, count you a thousand yuan." β
Ye Fei frowned and said, "It's expensive, I'll pay up to six hundred yuan, and I won't sell it for you to keep." β
Old man Mi was happy in his heart, but he pretended to be embarrassed on his face and said: "Little brother, I even have to paste the fare for 600 yuan, you just picked up a big leak yesterday, this little money is drizzle, right?" I know that you made a lot of money from Mo Lao. β
Ye Fei's heart was shocked, put down the copper tripod, sighed and said: "I won't tell you, I owe a debt to others, and the money given by Mo Lao was just used to pay off the debt, and it went into someone's pocket without covering it with heat, I like this object, but it's too expensive." After speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave, and he deduced from Old Man Mi's watch that this small bronze tripod was almost 600 yuan.
"Alas! Today's business is opened, and the small book is recognized, and 600 yuan is taken away. Old man Mi stretched out his hand and grabbed the little copper tripod and stood up, and handed it to Ye Fei with a painful face, although the price was a little low, but there was still a lot of money, and the banknotes in his hand couldn't slip away.
Ye Fei took out six hundred yuan and handed it over, took the small copper tripod and handed it to the little sister on the side, and said with a faint smile to Old Man Mi: "The money and goods are clear, I will send this object to Old Man Mo for a long look." β
Old Man Mi secretly laughed in his belly, didn't this kind of white-eyed modern imitation give it to Old Man Mo's eyes, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth? The stupid boy dares to be addicted to picking up leaks, and when Qinggu Street is a bamboo strip sieve scooping water, leaking everywhere, he will definitely be slashed by Mo Lao later.
The old man secretly laughed in his heart, but said with a reverent expression on his face: "Old man Mo is a well-known figure in the Chinese antique circle, this object can give him long eyes and even I feel that I have a long face, go quickly, I saw the old man's black car rushing in this morning, and now the person must still be in Qinggu Zhai." β
Ye Fei thanked him, pushed the wheelchair and walked slowly in the direction of Qinggu Zhai, Old Man Mi nodded the banknote in his hand and put it in his pocket, looking at the backs of the two of them in the distance, and laughed dryly.
Along the way, Tang Qian was looking at the bronze tripod in her hand over and over again, and she didn't find anything special after looking at it for a while, she couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart and turned her head and asked in a low voice: "Brother, why did you spend six hundred yuan to buy this little thing?" β
Ye Fei smiled slightly and said: "I have a feeling that this thing must be earned after buying it, in the words of the antique industry, it is called picking up leaks, and I don't know how much it is worth, I have to ask Mo Lao to understand." β
Tang Qian was overjoyed when she saw her eldest brother's confident appearance, and she didn't ask any more questions, and hugged the bronze Xiaoding in her arms with both hands.
The brother and sister came to the front of Qinggu Zhai, Ye Fei found that the parking space in front of the door was full of all kinds of cars, but the strange thing was that there was not a single customer in the huge store, only a few salesmen behind the counter were carefully wiping the dust on the shelves, and there were two men in black suits standing on each side of the door, and there was no expression on the faces of the four frozen beef, which was completely a posture that no one should approach.
Ye Fei frowned, took out his mobile phone and business card from his pocket and dialed Mo Lao's phone, but what made him depressed was that the other party's mobile phone was actually turned off, but fortunately, Old Man Mi said that Mo Lao was in the store, and he picked up his mobile phone and prepared to push the cart forward.
WhewββA silver-gray sports car roared past Ye Fei's side, snorted and stopped in front of the Qingguzhai gate, the door was raised diagonally like two bird wings, and a young man in white casual clothes walked down from the car, holding a delicate electronic car key in his fingertips, and walked towards the gate of Qingguzhai.
The young man was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and sword-eyed, with a one-meter-eight face, and a very angular and manly face, and his rhythmic cheeks added a bit of cynicism to him.
"So handsome!" Tang Qian couldn't help but whisper a word of praise when he saw the young man, although his voice was small, he was clearly heard by Ye Fei behind him, he pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know which one is Kuo Shao, driving like this rampage will be pasted to the wall sooner or later." β
Tang Qianqiao had a sweet smile on her face, and said softly: "Brother, in fact, I don't think he is as handsome as you, if we have money left after renting the house, we will buy you two sets of decent casual clothes, and the return rate will be super high when you wear them." β
Ye Fei smiled and said: "Actually, you don't have to wait for any extra money, I will find Mo Lao to appraise the small copper tripod in your hand, if you can find a suitable buyer, it is best to exchange it for cash, and my brother doesn't wear any casual clothes, and when you go back and get the matter of renting a house, you will definitely add a few sets of new clothes." β
"Really?" Tang Qian's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously hugged Xiao Tongding a little tighter, since the death of her adoptive parents, only on her birthday every year, the eldest brother will take her to the store to buy two sets of new clothes, for her that day is very worth looking forward to, now she sincerely hopes that the little copper tripod in her arms can be sold at a good price.
The young man had already arrived at the door of Qinggu Zhai, but was blocked by a man in a black suit with his outstretched hand: "Sir, please show your invitation." β
"Don't say anything in broad daylight, brother is not in that mood, can't you go into the store to buy things?" The young man raised his eyes at the black suit and chewed gum nonchalantly.
The man in the black suit said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, guests who don't have an invitation this morning will not be accepted, you can come back in the afternoon if you want to buy something." β
The young man smiled faintly and said, "Then brother won't buy anything, let's go in and find an acquaintance, right?" β
The man in the black suit shook his head and said, "No, we will not accept it without an invitation." β
The young man turned the electronic car key at his fingertips, suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly: "Sister Qingxi, brother is coming!" Mo Qingxi, come out! β
The loud shout shook the man in the black suit to the point that his eardrums were numb, and a touch of anger appeared on his face, but he was instructed to keep the guests out of the door without invitations, and there was no reason to stop others from shouting outside the door, not to mention that this thing was still shouting the name of the eldest lady.
Just when the man in the black suit was in a dilemma, a woman's head poked out of the upstairs window, it was Mo Qingxi, she flashed a glance at the young man downstairs, frowned slightly, and asked loudly after a few seconds: "Zhang Chuang, why are you here?" β
