Chapter 1138: Looking at the Mansion
Everyone thinks that this time the matter is far from over, and the identification of the chicken bowl cup, as well as some of the next means of Liufu, will be more exciting.
It's a pity that I can't see Liu Gongzi knowing that the chicken bowl cup is an imitation, they are very respectful to these sons of the family on the surface, but deep down, I wish they were as embarrassed as possible.
When everyone went to Baoyuan Hall to identify the chicken bowl cup, Chen Yi and the shopkeeper Xu of the pawnshop sat in the carriage when they came, and went in the direction of the pawnshop.
In the carriage, Shopkeeper Xu couldn't help but arch his hand to Chen Yi excitedly, "Chen Gongzi, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely live up to your expectations." ”
Tong Guò This antique gathering, he understood how powerful Chen Yi was, people like Liu Gongzi were not taken seriously by him at all, and he used his strength to make Liu Gongzi beg for mercy.
From the beginning of knowing Chen Yi's handwriting and calligraphy, he felt that he had met a noble person this time, and now it seems that his guess was completely correct, not only did he meet a nobleman, but he met a very powerful person.
"Shopkeeper Xu, you're welcome, you have helped me so much, this is what you deserve, it can be regarded as a little thank you from me." Chen Yi waved his hand and smiled, at the antique party, this shopkeeper Xu stood on his side at the critical moment, and did not flinch at all, which naturally won his favor.
"Thank you Chen Gongzi again, I don't know what you have for how to join this calligraphy gathering." Shopkeeper Xu thanked him again, and then asked.
Chen Yi smiled, he asked the shopkeeper Xu to join him, just to explain some calligraphy gatherings. "Shopkeeper Xu. About this calligraphy gathering. The number of participants is tentatively set at 100 people, and as for the venue, it can be held in some larger taverns or mansions, as long as it can accommodate 100 people. ”
"The identity of these 100 people must first be registered, ask or record some details, and then verify, and select some people who are capable of attending the meeting. Then notify them one by one. ”
"Not only that, all participants must pay a deposit of at least one hundred taels of silver to prevent any accidents, of course, this deposit will be returned, if you don't pay, you can't participate, basically, that's it."
Although there were auctions in ancient times, they were basically very rare. Moreover, the auction mechanism is not as advanced as that of modern times.
Hear Chen Yi speak. Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly took out a piece of paper and recorded it, and after that, he asked with some concern: "Gongzi Chen, what if someone makes trouble." ”
"If someone makes trouble, if they don't want to pay the deposit, or they are vexatious, they will be directly disqualified from participating and let them come to me, and if they are those who have nothing to do, they can directly notify the government."
Speaking of this, Chen Yi smiled, "However, Shopkeeper Xu, you can rest assured, no one dares to make trouble at this calligraphy gathering, and those children of the family who are eager to get calligraphy will ensure that this party is held normally, but just in case, you still hire some strong men to maintain order, and I will often go to the pawnshop to take a look." ”
Shopkeeper Xu nodded emphatically. "Chen Gongzi, I know, I will definitely do my best to organize this calligraphy gathering."
"Shopkeeper Xu, as a provider of antiques, you should not passively accept the selection of others, but to attract others to take the initiative to choose and buy, this calligraphy gathering is a good start." Chen Yi said slowly, although the shopkeeper Xu opened a pawnshop like this, although he said that he had antiques, he could only participate in such a party and sell it to the children of the family.
On the one hand, because of their ideas, and on the other hand, because they don't have that much appeal.
Chen Yi felt that in this copy world that was completely parallel to the real world, it was also a good choice to open an auction house.
Hearing Chen Yi's words, Shopkeeper Xu's eyes lit up, yes, they only participated in the gathering of those sons of the family before, but now, they let those sons of the family gather in the party they held.
It's just that not everyone can do it, and the reason why they can do it is because of their high level of calligraphy.
After communicating with Chen Yi for a while, Shopkeeper Xu couldn't help but ask: "Chen Gongzi, are those two chicken bowl cups really genuine products of the Chenghua Dynasty?" ”
"Haha, shopkeeper Xu, of course it's true, and it's also a boutique in the Chenghua colorful chicken bowl cup, what's the matter, do you regret selling it to me?" Chen Yi said with a laugh.
Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly waved his hand, "Chen Gongzi, if you buy it, it's yours, what's more, these two chicken bowl cups are placed here with me, and they are also violent things, I'm just a little curious, Chen Gongzi will also identify antiques." ”
These two chicken bowl cups, in Chen Yi's hands, are the chicken bowl cups of the Chenghua Dynasty, and in his hands, they are just two imitations.
What he wanted to know most was Chen Yi's ability to identify antiques, as far as he knew, there were countless pawnshop shopkeepers who could not accurately identify chicken bowl cups, but Chen Yi was so sure that it was full of surprise.
"I've loved ancient culture since I was a child, so I often study it, and sometimes I read too much, and I will." Chen Yi smiled slightly and said a very mysterious word.
Seeing that Chen Yi didn't want to explain too much, Shopkeeper Xu didn't continue to ask, there were too many mysteries on Chen Yi.
"By the way, shopkeeper Xu, how is the matter of the house?" Chen Yi suddenly thought of buying a mansion and immediately asked.
Shopkeeper Xu patted his head, "Chen Gongzi, I was just about to tell you about this, I went to attend an antique party today, and I forgot for a while, not far from the pawnshop, there is a big mansion, and it is also a second courtyard, which was originally owned by a merchant, but the businessman has recently moved his family to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so he is ready to sell the house." ”
"Oh, I don't know what the environment of the house is, if the contents are complete." Chen Yi nodded, if the mansion looked good, he didn't want to pick and choose, after all, in this dungeon world, the stay time was not long.
"The house is a certain distance from the downtown area, the environment is very clean, and the yard is full of flowers and plants, as well as mountain and stone pavilions, and there are all kinds of things in it, and the merchant intends to sell it with the house." Shopkeeper Xu introduced some information about this mansion to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi thought for a moment, and then said, "Since it's near the pawnshop, let's go and see how it goes." "The second courtyard, although it looks a little big, but after all, it is more convenient to live, and if a friend comes, it is easy to take care of.
"Chen Gongzi, the merchant is in a hurry to sell the house, he can't wait for us to take a look." Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile.
After arriving at the pawnshop, the shopkeeper Xu and the guys in the pawnshop gave an order, and then took Chen Yi to walk in one direction.
After walking for about ten minutes, Shopkeeper Xu took Chen Yi to the door of a mansion, and said with a smile: "Chen Gongzi, this is it, I'll knock on the door." With that, he stepped forward and pulled the knocker and began to knock on the door.
Chen Yi looked at the surrounding environment, it seemed to be quiet, and there were basically mansion courtyards all around, which should be a place where rich people gathered.
Soon after Shopkeeper Xu knocked on the door, the door was opened, and a middle-aged man with a round belly came out. ”
"Haha, shopkeeper Han, let me introduce you, this is Chen Gongzi, he is here to take a look at the house, you have to entertain well." Shopkeeper Xu laughed, pointed at Chen Yi and said.
The shopkeeper Han looked at Chen Yi and hurriedly arched his hand, "Chen Gongzi, you are out of reach." ”
Chen Yi waved his hand lightly, "Shopkeeper Han, don't be polite, I'll come here to take a look at the house, and if it's suitable, I'll buy it directly." ”
Hearing Chen Yi's words, Shopkeeper Han's eyes lit up, revealing a strong sense of joy, "Gongzi Chen is arrogant, please come in, Shopkeeper Xu, please." ”
Chen Yi raised his feet and stepped into the door, while Shopkeeper Han pulled Shopkeeper Xu behind him and asked in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Xu, what is the origin of this Gongzi Chen." ”
"Hehe, Chen Gongzi has a big way to come, and he has plenty of silver on him now, so you should be smart." Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile and did not reveal Chen Yi's information.
Shopkeeper Han nodded hurriedly, walked into the courtyard quickly, and introduced the environmental layout of the entire mansion to Chen Yi.
The environment of the front yard is not bad, there are some flowers and trees planted in the yard, I walked into the house and looked, the furniture is very complete, and then, Chen Yi and the three of them came to the backyard, compared to the front yard, the backyard is much larger.
In addition to flowers and trees, there is also a rockery and two small pavilions in the yard, which looks green and makes people feel comfortable.
Generally speaking, the complete courtyard is a three-entry courtyard, but these two-entry courtyards are also very common, and there is no one in the entire courtyard, which looks very clean.
Walked to the wing room and the study and looked at it, there were two bookshelves in the study, which were full of all kinds of books, but Chen Yi looked at it a little, and his face showed helplessness, these books looked very new, this Han shopkeeper was just a vassal and elegant person.
After looking at the entire mansion and looking at Chen Yi's very calm face, Shopkeeper Han asked a little uneasily: "Chen Gongzi, this mansion is still satisfied." ”
"It's still a little short of what I imagined, Shopkeeper Xu, let's go to the next mansion and have a look." Chen Yi said lightly, without any expression on his face.
This Han shopkeeper has a fat head and big ears, and at a glance, he knows that he has looted a lot of wealth, Chen Yi will not be polite, although he now has tens of thousands of taels of silver, but to buy an antique, he has to bargain, naturally it is impossible for him to buy the house at the first-hand price.
