Chapter 249: Yuhe Building
(I took a day off yesterday, and it was inconvenient on the way home, forgive me!) )
Located in South Street, Yuhe Building is a well-known jade antique shop in Jingshili, and the business is excellent on weekdays, from time to time customers spend a lot of money to buy jade antiques, or there are broken people come to pawn, Yuhe Building can earn a huge difference in price.
The most important thing to do this line of work is the strength of the eye, looking at the inconspicuous clay pot is likely to be handed down from the Tang Dynasty painted pottery, and the dazzling four-horse pottery cart is also likely to be imitated, not worth a few prices.
In order to ensure that he does not look away, the proprietor in Yuhe Building specially invited Zhou Yusheng, a famous antique master in Beijing, to be used as a town store.
To say that this Zhou Yusheng is also a legend, when he was young, he was the son of a wealthy businessman, and he liked to collect some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but later his family fell into the middle, and he had to sell all his collection to make a living.
Even so, the Zhou family inevitably sat on the mountain, so Zhou Yusheng opened a pawnshop, and earned a lot of money with his superb eyesight. After his fame sounded, Zhou Yusheng began to be arrogant, arrogant, and regarded himself as everyone, and finally offended a noble one day and got into a lawsuit.
Just when Zhou Yusheng was in despair, the goddess of luck beckoned to him, he was rescued by the right sect of the Zongren Mansion, and since then he has been doing things for Zhu Zhen. Over the years, Zhou Yusheng has recognized a lot of good things for Zhu Zhen, so Zhu Zhen has paid more and more attention to him, and he is obedient to Zhou Yusheng in terms of antique calligraphy and painting.
Zhu Zhen is also very idle after becoming the shopkeeper of Yuhe Building, sitting in the inner hall every day drinking hot tea, humming a little tune, and only when the worship in the building can't make up his mind, he will invite him out of the mountain for a while.
One day, Zhu Zhen was lying on a chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and a guy hurriedly ran in and said: "Everyone Zhou, a big business, you go out and see, hundreds of antiques, each of which can be called priceless ......."
Zhou Yusheng was shocked, and hurriedly went to the outer hall, only to see a black-faced young man in a robe sitting on a chair, looking around with an uneasy expression, and when he saw him come out, he immediately stood up and bowed.
Zhou Yusheng, this kind of person, has seen a lot, he doesn't care about the middle of the family, and comes to pawn the antiques at home, in order to make a comeback, Zhou Yusheng himself did this.
Glancing at the antiques on the table casually, Zhou Yusheng was secretly frightened, indeed as the guy said, each piece is worth a lot of money, and it is a little difficult for Yuhelou to eat these things.
"Oh, I don't know where Brother Shi came from? It must not be ordinary people who can come up with so many treasures. ”
The black-faced man looked pained and said in a mournful voice: "My surname is Qian, and I came here from Tianjin, as for my family background...... Don't mention it, if you come to sell your inheritance today, you have already shamed your ancestors, and you are ashamed in your heart, and you have no shame to report your family history. ”
Zhou Yusheng nodded, he was also in this situation at the beginning, so he could naturally understand it. When opening an antique shop, it is better not to inquire too much about the origin of some customers, if you miss the business, it will not be good.
Zhou Yusheng arched his hand towards the black-faced man, and then turned around and came to the table to carefully observe the jade antiques brought by the black-faced man, the more he looked, the more frightened he became, there were colorful jade from the Song Dynasty, gilded jade Buddha from the Tang Dynasty, and even the pottery and horses of the Han Dynasty, which can be called the treasure of the town store in any store.
If it weren't for the fact that these things didn't have the smell of yin earth, Zhou Yusheng would even think that a group of tomb robbers had found a large tomb.
"Brother Qian, Zhou doesn't lie to you, everything you brought is worth a thousand gold, I don't know what Brother Qian wants to cost?"
The black-faced man was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at the antique on the table with a reluctant face. Zhou Yusheng said with a smile: "Brother Qian, only by restoring the glory of the family is the best consolation for the ancestors, with these things, no matter what kind of business Brother Qian's family does, you can also try again." ”
Zhou Yusheng's words seemed to move the black-faced man, and he smiled bitterly and said: "What the shopkeeper said is that there are a total of one hundred and twenty-one jade antiques, and each one is worth a thousand gold, so let's charge two thousand taels of silver for each piece, what do you think?" ”
Two thousand taels, the one hundred and twenty-one is two hundred and twenty-one taels, which seems to be a lot of silver, but it is very cheap, because each piece alone will cost more than two thousand taels of silver. Zhou Yusheng frowned slightly, not because it was too expensive, but because there were only more than 30,000 taels of silver in Yuhe Building, which was not enough for even a fraction.
"Don't hide it from Brother Qian, this store doesn't have so much silver now, so I have to ask the owner to mobilize some silver taels. However, Brother Qian can rest assured, the store is big and does not deceive customers, and it has an excellent reputation in Beijing, so he will definitely put the silver in Brother Qian's hands. ”
The black-faced man was silent for a moment, and said: "In this case, I will stay in Beijing for two more days, but it is inconvenient to bring so many things in Beijing, so please hurry up." By the way, the silver delivered by your store is best a silver ticket, if it is real money......"
The black-faced man didn't say it directly, but Zhou Yusheng understood very well that a person with so much gold and silver would definitely be targeted by someone with a heart, so it was indeed inconvenient in Beijing. If it's a silver ticket, you don't have so many worries, put it in your pocket and go.
"Brother Qian, rest assured, our store will definitely deliver the silver ticket to you within two days."
"That's it!" The black-faced man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What if...... If the family can make a comeback in the future, they will inevitably come to redeem the ancestral relics, and ask your store to give some discounts when the time comes. ”
Zhou Yusheng laughed and said: "That's natural, Zhou is waiting for Brother Qian to come again!" ”
What the price should be after getting the baby is what Yuhelou said, and it doesn't matter if you talk about it now. Zhou Yusheng saw the black-faced man put away the antique jade and hurriedly left, restrained the smile on his face, and beckoned to the guys beside him: "You go and follow him and see where he lives." ”
The guy nodded yes and ran out of the store as well. Zhou Yusheng explained a few more words, and then hurried to Zhu Zhen's mansion.
Out of Yuhe Building, Qian Ning relaxed, got into a carriage, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, Hongfu Inn!" ”
The carriage moved slowly, and Zhang Meng said in a sullen voice: "Is everything done?" ”
"That's natural, with my money and thousands of households, what else can't be done. The adult is right, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, and I trembled with excitement when I thought that I would be able to get more than 200,000 taels of silver in two days! ”
"That's the adult's money, don't be too anxious, it's not good to delay the adult's business. By the way, why do adults have to act in such a scene, just let the Lai brothers go and steal it? ”
Qian Ning smiled: "Zhang Meng, after all, you are still a reckless man, and you don't understand the truth. Last time, Lai San Lai Si stole the Huang family's treasury, but more than 10,000 taels of silver almost tired them down, and now it is more than 200,000 taels, can they steal it?
Besides, no one would be stupid to put more than 200,000 pieces of silver in one place, and the adults just want Zhu Zhen to exchange all the silver in the family for silver tickets and gather them, so that it is convenient to start......"
