Spring tour, apricot blossoms blow all over the head. Who is young and romantic? The concubine intends to marry and rest for the rest of her life. Even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you can't be ashamed. ——Wei Zhuang "Spring Tour"

The sound of horses' hooves rang in his ears for more than half an hour, and finally before Chen Yun felt dizzy, the carriage stopped steadily.

After getting off the carriage, there is a thoroughfare leading directly to the north and south, and another road more than ten zhang wide runs through the east and west streets. Both sides of the road are full of shops, the curtains are embroidered with phoenixes, and the buildings are hung with colorful flags, among them, there are those who sell rouge gouache, there are those who sell spice cakes, there are those who sell dragon and phoenix group tea, and there are those who sell silk and satin...... It is impossible to list them all.

Shen Fu was familiar with the way, so he naturally became a guide, holding Chen Yun's hand while introducing Chen Yun to the trade situation of the market.

At this time, it was just the end of the day, but the long street was already lively, and many merchants set up their goods and shouted along the street to sell.

The little couple smiled and laughed, and walked and looked, while talking about the same topic of interest, while entering the local famous Gu Bao Zhai.

This ancient treasure Zhai occupies three rooms, blue bricks, yellow tiles, red doors, the appearance of the decoration is very simple, but the three friends of the year and the cold carved empty and exquisite door is considerable.

The couple entered the store hand in hand, only to see that there were few customers inside, silent, and so deserted that only one clerk was supporting the field.

The clerk Lao Jiang was crackling and calculating, and suddenly saw a distinguished customer coming to the door, and hurriedly squeezed out a polite face, Baba walked out from behind the counter, and then ran for a while in a hurry, and came to greet the customer.

"Yo, this young master, came early! Thank you and your wife for visiting our store, and thank you very much! Our store has a lot of new listings, do you want to take a look around by yourself, or let the small ones introduce you to a few pieces? ”

Chen Yun saw that Lao Jiang was overly enthusiastic, his face was slightly sneered, and he glanced at Shen Fu embarrassedly.

Shen Fu knew that she was thin-skinned, so he pretended to cough, glanced at the attentive shopkeeper, and said, "Let's take a look casually first, if we meet a favorite object in the middle, then I bother you to introduce one or two, for now, you should be busy with your first go!" ”

Lao Jiang put a cold ass on his face, and was poured a basin of cold water, although he was not very happy, but the people engaged in the service industry have high professionalism and strong psychological endurance, so he only blinked his eyes and squeezed out a smile that has not changed for a hundred years to show people.

"Come on, master, madam, please, you two look at it casually, these treasures in our store are rare and valuable!"

Shen Fu smiled faintly at him, turned his head and pulled Chen Yun to wander around the ancient treasure house.

The old Jiang at the counter strode back, returned to the back of the counter, and began to crack the abacus. He glanced at the couple while dialing the abacus, and saw that the two were just walking and watching, occasionally stopping to touch the antiques on the shelf, there was really no place to use himself, and seeing that there were not many customers in the store, he simply lowered his head and continued to settle the accounts.

Let's say that this ancient treasure Zhai specializes in collecting objects from all dynasties and generations, including bottles, furnaces, tripods, pots, swords, boxes and many other antiques.

Shen Fu walked down step by step, and successively saw the bronze pot, translucent mirror, Changxin Palace lamp of the Han Dynasty, the white-glazed stirrup pot of the Tang Dynasty, the double-series pot of black ground color spots, the golden bowl of mandarin duck lotus petal pattern, the three-color horse, the blue glaze lotus-style pot of the five dynasties, the white glazed animal ear jar, the green glaze cover box, the green glaze altar of the Song Dynasty, the Ru kiln azure glazed string pattern bottle, the official kiln blue glaze round wash, the Ge kiln green glaze begonia flower pot, the Jun kiln lilac purple glaze out of the halberd, the Ding kiln white glaze printed chrysanthemum phoenix pattern plate, the blue and white phoenix peony pattern pot of the Yuan Dynasty, the peacock blue glaze black dragon pattern Ding, Glaze red print pile of high-foot rotor cup, indigo glazed beast face ear bottle, Ming Dynasty Doucai seawater dragon pattern lid jar, blue and white colorful mandarin duck lotus pond warm bowl, carved peony pattern plate, colorful figure picture lid jar and recently popular enamel ornaments......

After walking around, the little two looked at all kinds of hundred and ten pieces of bone Dong coarsely or finely, and finally stopped in front of the blue and white peony lotus pond pattern plate of the Yuan Dynasty.

Chen Yun noticed that Shen Fu had stopped, glanced back, and saw that he was serious, staring at the object in his hand without blinking, to the point that he couldn't put it down, so he pretended to get closer inadvertently, and asked quietly, "Is this thing very rare?" ”

"Look!"

Shen Fu handed the object in his hand to Chen Yun.

"People say, the dragon's eye knows the pearl, the phoenix's eye knows the treasure, I am the bull's eye, I only know the grass! This thing, I look at it quite ordinary! ”

Chen Yun said slowly, seeing that Shen Fu was silent, he hurriedly said: "You've been watching it for a long time, do you have anything you like?" If there is, let's buy it! ”

Shen Fu didn't speak, rubbing the big basin back and forth with his hands, and muttered while playing: "Good things have a price, and Gu Dongxing is even more so!" We don't have a lot of money with us, and we have to buy a lot of necessities later, so we don't have to waste it all on it! ”

Chen Yun nodded yes, and was about to leave, continuing to go to the front to admire Gu Dong, but saw that Shen Fu was motionless, still standing still, his eyes still lingering on the antique in his hand.

With a wry smile, Chen Yun slowly approached and persuaded: "It's hard to buy a good heart, if you really like it, it's better to pay for it back, and save you from worrying all day long!" ”

Shen Fu hesitated for a moment, and said slyly: "Gu Dong Xing is the most bullying!" We're muttering here, and that guy must be in sight! I'm willing to bet that in a moment, he will come over and interrogate and ask if we have matched these five pieces, and then, we will join forces to play a scene, only pretending to be half liked, half picky, true or false, let that guy bother to guess! ”

Chen Yun was noncommittal.

Shen Fu squeezed his eyes and said with a smile: "Besides, antique dealers love to lie about the price, if the price is reasonable, we will naturally buy it out of our pockets, but if he is asking for a price, we have to be careful, we must not be slaughtered by him!" ”

Chen Yun agreed in her heart, and as soon as she echoed, she saw Lao Jiang coming over with a spring breeze on his face, and said with a smile: "The master has walked around, but there are objects that have entered your eyes?" ”

Shen Fu put down Gu Dong and pretended to be profound: "Don't hide it from the store, although the younger generation is not very old, he was born with a habit and loves to collect Gu Dong the most." As he spoke, he stared at Lao Jiang's eyes, "Let me tell you the truth, the only thing missing from the Yuan Dynasty is the ornament of the Yuan Dynasty on the Duobao maul in my house, this blue and white peony lotus pond pattern plate, if you can endure the pain and cut love, the younger generation is willing to buy it for two taels of silver!" ”

"Two taels?"

The counter seemed to be a little embarrassed, with an undecided expression.

"This lord, I might as well confess to you, I'm just hired by the owner to take care of the accounts, usually the young owner picks up customers here, and it's not a coincidence, today the young owner has something to go out, if not, how can it be my turn to hire a hired worker to receive you?"

"Welcome the world's guests and smile at the wealth of the Quartet! Shopkeepers, how can there be a reason to open the door and not do business? Shen Fu deliberately pretended to be a young man, and imitated his every move vividly, "Didn't you tell you that you could go to the market with you before you left?" ”

The shopkeeper blinked his eyes, the expression on his face changed, obviously unwilling to miss the business opportunity, so he hesitated for a moment before slowly opening his mouth: "If you really like this object, you might as well show some sincerity!" Xiao vaguely remembered that a customer had asked the price of this thing before, and at that time, the young owner stretched out his thumb and index finger, and asked for eight taels in one mouthful, and he was not allowed to bargain! ”

As soon as Shen Fu heard that he wanted eight taels, he suddenly lost the desire to buy, so he said: "You must be fooling me, this person who opens the door to do business, he wants to try his best to sell the goods, even if the price is a little lower, there is no doubt that he will sell it, how can there be a reason for the price?" ”

"The master said this can be seen to be a layman, our bone Dong Xing has an unwritten rule, every person has a short life, and the goods add money, if the thing is really good, the customer can't grab it, who cares about adding a few more copper plates?" Lao Jiang said slowly.

Shen Fu listened, reluctantly put the antique back on the shelf, sighed, and said: "As you said, I am not very expert, I am really not sure that this is an object of the Yuan Dynasty, or next time I bring a connoisseur to come over to appreciate it, at that time, you young owners must be present, and you don't have to be in a dilemma!" ”

The old Jiang Pingbai at the counter lost a single business, and he couldn't tell whether he should be happy or sad, but he quickly showed a smile again.

"The business is not lovely, although the lord can rest assured, this thing is not very sought-after, and when our young owner comes back from outside tonight, the small one must beg him to keep it for you, not to mention that it can be kept for three years and five years, but ten days and a half months is very easy to do!"

Shen Fu glanced back at Chen Yun and said politely: "Thank you, store!" After speaking, the couple held hands and left Gu Bao Zhai.

Out of the store, the market is even more lively, pedestrians, cars and horses flying, crowds of people everywhere, and there is a noise everywhere.

The couple walked a few dozen meters to the east, only to see many two-story buildings lined up on both sides of the road, among which the Qingyin Pavilion and the Agarwood Pavilion were the most significant.

Chen Yun went out shopping for the first time, although she saw that each shop was very exquisitely decorated, but she didn't know anything about what the store was operating, but she just listened to the lingering sound in the Qingyin Pavilion on the opposite street, so she boldly guessed that it was peddling guqin, zheng, pipa and other musical instruments.

After listening to the elegant sound for a long time, Chen Yun was in a very good mood, and saw that the patrons of the Agarwood Pavilion on the opposite side were constantly coming in and out, so he asked close to Shen Fu's ear: "Just look at this name, Agarwood Pavilion, elegance is elegance, but I don't know what is famous in it?" ”

Shen Fu turned his head slightly, put a smile on the root of her ear, and chirped: "This is a place that sells fans, do you want to go in and have a look?" ”

Chen Yun also had lingering palpitations about the asking price of the Gu Bao Zhai shop, seeing that the Agarwood Pavilion was exquisitely built, and the gorgeous momentum was not reduced in the slightest, and some timidity sprouted in the dark: "Forget it, this place is magnificent, it must be the same as the price of Gu Bao Zhai's things, let's travel this time, and the money we carry with us is not much, in case you can't afford it, it's not enough to be embarrassed!" ”

Shen Fu smiled quietly, his smile was as soft as a cool breeze blowing across the flat and waveless lake: "Why are you so worried?" ”

Before he finished speaking, Shen Fu raised his feet and walked towards the Agarwood Pavilion.

Chen Yun saw that he didn't take it seriously, and thought that the folding fan in it was not expensive, so he settled down his worried heart again, and followed with brisk steps.

Bypassing a rosewood-edged chisel enamel four-friend throne screen, the couple didn't have time to take a closer look at the internal structure, and were the first to be attracted by the scene in front of them.

It turned out that behind the screen was facing a square platform, except for the vacancy in front of the square platform, the other three sides were separated by the Huanghuali lady treasure map screen as a boundary.

At that time, there was a female girl standing in the center of the square platform, imitating Du Liniang's appearance in "Dream in the Garden", wearing a bean blue embroidered butterfly pattern robe, a mud gold trimmed silver and white sprinkled satin skirt, covered with duck eggs and diamond pattern satin facing the placket vest, gentle and silent, pitiful.

Seeing that there were more and more customers in the shop, the woman raised her eyes, couldn't help chuckling, then adjusted her limbs, and after a few slow turns, she returned to her original calm appearance, and her mouth began to babble, sometimes moaning, sometimes singing.

Halfway through the singing, the female mercy went around a few times in place, casually unfolded the folding fan that she had been holding before, waved, turned, supported, clamped, closed, covered, thrown, fluttered, shaken, every move, brilliant, beautiful, while showing that her fan skills are very porcelain, but also firmly grasped the eyes of customers.

Chen Yun didn't understand opera, she couldn't see which line of the female pity in front of her was, and she didn't know how to use aesthetics to evaluate the skill of the female mercy, so she just watched it in a hurry for a while, and saw that there were more and more people around, so she pulled Shen Fu into the room to the north.
