Chapter 56 The Appraisal Fee for Ten Taels of Silver
Qi Fengwu heard that there was a blue diamond, she was a little interested, so she stopped and smiled: "Okay!" Take it out and I'll take a look. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly took out a fine jasper box from the cupboard, which he carefully opened, and was covered with brocade, on which lay a blue diamond the size of a walnut, in the shape of a pear, shining brightly.
Qi Fengwu's face suddenly became gloomy, not because of this precious diamond, but because of a young man who appeared next to her and was disgusted by her, who was simply following her with a ghost, and she couldn't help but turn around and glared at Wujin fiercely.
Wu Jin didn't seem to know her, he was lying on the counter with his arms crossed, looking at the blue diamond curiously, even the shopkeeper was a little disgusted with him, he glanced at Wu Jin with an extremely contemptuous gaze, and snorted, "Boy, can you afford it?" ”
Wu Jin shook his head, "I don't buy it, I'm afraid that this girl will encounter a black shop!" ”
Qi Fengwu couldn't hold back any longer, turned his head and scolded him, "How thick is your skin?" ”
Wu Jin looked at her blankly and blinked: "Girl, do I know you?" ”
The maid next to her 'flutters! A laugh burst out, Qi Fengwu was so angry that she kicked the maid hard, she wanted to turn around and leave, but she really liked this blue diamond.
Qi Fengwu held back his anger, pretending not to know Wu Jin, and said to the shopkeeper: "I want this diamond, help me wrap it." ”
The shopkeeper was ecstatic in his heart, and he hurriedly wanted to find the box, but Wu Jin said on the side: "Why doesn't the girl ask the price, what if you don't bring enough money?" Wouldn't that be embarrassing. ”
Qi Fengwu snorted and ignored him, but the maid next to her felt that Wu Jin was reasonable, how could such a valuable thing not ask the price, and it should also be bargained, so she asked: "Shopkeeper, how much is this diamond?" ”
Qi Fengwu actually wanted to ask, but Wu Jin reminded her, so she didn't ask, since the maid helped her ask.
The shopkeeper stared at Wu Jin viciously, his eyes showed a fierce light, and when he turned his head, he said to Qi Fengwu with a smile: "It's not expensive!" Not expensive! I only sell this blue diamond for 6,000 taels of silver, and other shops will cost at least 8,000 taels. ”
Qi Fengwuxiu's eyebrows were slightly lame, she only brought five thousand taels of silver tickets, it was really not enough, of course she had to bargain, but as soon as she made a counteroffer, the bastard next to her would be proud, she didn't want to buy it, but she really liked this sea-blue diamond, which made her a little dilemma for a while.
Wu Jin laughed again next to him: "Miss Qi, why don't I come and help you bargain!" How about you pay me ten taels of silver as a counter-offer? ”
Qi Fengwu glared at him again, "Don't you know me?" ”
Wu Jin scratched his head, with a look of sudden realization, "I remembered it just now, it seems that I saw you in a small noodle restaurant." ”
The maid covered her mouth and laughed desperately, Qi Fengwu was angry and funny in her heart, she said with a blushing face: "I don't need you to bargain, I will bargain myself." ”
She was about to tell the shopkeeper four thousand taels of silver, but Wu Jin shook his head, "This fake diamond is worth four hundred taels of silver at most, if you buy it, you will be fooled." ”
"What did you say?" Qi Fengwu looked at him in surprise, "You said this diamond is fake?" ”
"Hey! Feed! Feed! ”
The shopkeeper shouted, he banged on the table, and threatened viciously: "Don't damage my reputation, this store will never sell fakes, and if you slander again, I will report to the official." ”
At this moment, his Chinese suddenly became fluent, but Wu Jin ignored him, and still said to Qi Fengwu sincerely: "Really, this is a gem, it looks a lot like a diamond, but it is not, it is a zircon, and it is actually not sea blue, but brown, after you buy it back, at most a month, its blue will fade." ”
The shopkeeper's face changed, and there was a look of fear in his eyes, but he still said stiffly, "I don't understand what you're talking about, this is obviously a diamond, this luster, this hardness, only diamonds have, how can it be fake." ”
Qi Fengwu's eyes were a little puzzled, she picked up the diamond and put it on the palm of her hand to look at it, she has seen a lot of diamonds, this is indeed a diamond, where is the fake, but this man said it very well, which made her heart confused for a while, where is the fake?
Wu Jin seemed to understand her thoughts, so he smiled at her: "This kind of zircon is very similar to diamond, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, but it is not impossible to identify, the girl pays attention to its refracted light, it is birefringence, and diamond is single refraction, as well as its cutting surface, if the girl looks carefully, you will find that there is a slight wear and breakage, and the diamond will never have, and its blue luster is uneven, some places are deep, some places are shallow, that is because of his uneven heating, I dare to assert, this must be a zircon." ”
Generally speaking, to distinguish zircon and diamond to use a special magnifying glass to see, if this is a colorless zircon, Wu Jin will definitely not be able to see just now, but the shopkeeper would rather go to find an ordinary brocade box, than with the jade box together, this is a psychological leak of the shopkeeper, so that Wu Jin began to doubt the true value of this so-called blue diamond.
Later, he found that its blue color was uneven, and Wu Jin finally suspected it, so he tried to deceive the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper's face immediately changed greatly, and he knew that he had guessed correctly.
Although Qi Fengwu couldn't see any single refraction or double refraction, she also found that the color was indeed unevenly blue, and a small corner had already appeared a little brown, it seemed that he was really right, this is a fake diamond, her long eyelashes were raised, and her sharp gaze looked directly at the shopkeeper, as if she had seen through him, she saw that the shopkeeper's face was pale, and his eyes were full of emptiness.
At this moment, her face was really gloomy, she put the fake diamond back into the jade box, turned to the maid and said, "Let's go!"
She walked out of the store quickly and walked more than a dozen steps, but Wu Jin followed up and said with a smile: "Miss Qi, I haven't paid the identification fee of ten taels of silver yet!" ”
Qi Fengwu stopped and said to him coldly, "Did I promise to let you identify?" It's you who are self-inflicted, okay! ”
"Humph! Good intentions are not rewarded. ”
Wu Jin touched his nose, he also felt bored, his face couldn't hang up, so he snorted, turned around and left, and heard him talk to himself from a distance: "In these years, some self-proclaimed big families have no conscience, and Zhien doesn't know how to report pictures, alas! The wind of the world says, people's hearts are not ancient. ”
The maid also felt that Miss was a bit excessive, so she whispered to persuade her: "Miss, you should really give it to him, or we will be fooled." ”
"I won't give it to him!"
said this, but Qi Fengwu took out a piece of silver and stuffed it to the maid angrily, "Just your heart, take it to him!" Save him from slandering the Qi family everywhere. ”
"Childe, wait a minute!" The maid chased after her.
Wu Jin stopped, glanced at her, and asked with a smile, "What, does she want to apologize to me?" ”
"Don't be stinky, my young lady doesn't want to owe others favors, this is good, ten taels of silver identification fee, you take it."
Wu Jin glanced at the silver, but didn't take it, and asked her with a smile, "If you really don't want to owe favors, then the last time she learned my shop layout, should she also pay me, I will count a little less, just forty taels of silver!" A total of fifty taels of silver, and give it to me next time. ”
After speaking, he turned around and winked at Qi Fengwu, and walked away with his hands behind his back, the maid stayed there, not knowing what to do, Qi Fengwu walked up slowly, glared at Wujin's back hatefully, and complained to the maid: "Now you understand!" He is deliberately teasing us, what kind of identification fee, just casually talking, just you are enthusiastic. ”
"No, miss, he said you still owe him money." The maid said with a wry smile.
"Nonsense! What money do I owe him? ”
"He said that the last time you studied the decoration of his shop, you should pay him forty taels of silver, a total of fifty taels of silver, and asked you to give it to him next time."
"He's dreaming!" Qi Fengwu snatched the silver from the maid's hand and threw it to an old beggar next to him, "I just feed the dog and don't give it to him!" ”
The beggar was ecstatic at first, but when she heard that she was wrong, she rolled her eyes, "Girl, you are also a beautiful girl, why do you talk like this!" ”
........
Wu Jin was in a good mood and returned to Tianxiang Rice Shop with relaxed steps.
At this time, Heimi had returned, and in the backyard of the Tianxiang Rice Shop, Wujin saw Heimi and his three sworn brothers, whose real names were unknown, and each of them had nicknames that frightened the people of Weiyang County, one was called Three-Eyed Maitreya, who was fat and fat, but he was dressed in a hundred clothes, and his hair was scattered, and he looked like a beggar, and he was the beggar leader of Weiyang; One is called Nancheng Ba, a big man with a full face and fierce eyes; The other is called a poisonous snake, with a thin waist like a snake, a pair of three white eyes, and his eyes are full of cunning, these three people are not good at first glance, they are indeed not good people, they are all well-known ploppy leaders in Weiyang County, extortion, and evil.
But this time they did Wu Jin a great favor, one of Huang Feng's subordinates was Nancheng Ba's people, and told Huang Feng's plan to Nancheng Ba one by one in advance, and finally let Wu Jin easily succeed.
They gathered in the black rice shop not to wait for Wujin, they were discussing the levy of protection fees on overseas businessmen who came to Weiyang County to do business, this is a piece of fat, they have been eyeing it for a long time.
"Come on! Let me introduce you to the three of you. ”
Heimi smiled and introduced them to Wu Jin, the last time I went to Jinfu pawnshop to make trouble, none of the three of them were present, "This is the son of one of my elders, called Wu Jin." ”
Heimi is very cautious, he doesn't dare to leak the relationship between Wujin and the Phoenix Society, even if it is his righteous brother, he can't say it, it's not that he promised Wujin, but the people of the Phoenix Society he can't afford to provoke, the Phoenix Society is rampant all over the world, how dare he compete with Haoyue with this kind of firefly light.
He smiled and introduced to Wu Jin: "These are my three righteous brothers, this one is called Three-Eyed Maitreya, the strongest one is called Nancheng Ba, and this one is called Poisonous Snake, all of them are friends with me, if there is anything in the future, just look for them, they will give me this face." ”
Although he has no interest in interacting with them, the necessary politeness should be done, Wu Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "The three big names are like thunder, and the younger brother has been admired for a long time." ”
Heimi's caution is also reflected in the other hand, that is, he will never let these three people deal directly with Wujin, these three people don't know the details of Wujin, if something happens, the phoenix will not be able to spare him, so this time Wujin attacked Huang Feng, these three people don't know, they only think that he is Heimi's relative, and they all smile and bow back, "Little brother is a talent, and he will become a great weapon in the future!" ”
Everyone was just an ordinary greeting, and Heimi knew that Wujin was looking for him, so he said to the three of them: "Let's discuss here for the time being today, let's continue tomorrow, little brother has something to do with me, you go back first!" ”
Everyone said goodbye to Wu Jin one after another, Wu Jin smiled and bowed his hand to them, but secretly thought in his heart, "The strong dragon is no match for the ground snake, and to deal with Xu Yuan, maybe you have to rely on these people, but Su Hanzhen knows, I don't know what he should think?" ”
"Wu Jin, is there something wrong with me?" Heimi asked with a smile as she closed the door.
"Huh! Thank you very much for the morning. ”
"That's a gesture, if I can't even do that little thing, do I still want to mess around in Weiyang County? But Brother Wujin's crossbow is powerful! Sixty paces away, the bullet does not need to be fired. ”
Heimi gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely, he was telling the truth, they were so good at fighting, they were rampant in Weiyang County, but there were not many real martial arts, and they didn't dare to imagine the kind of accurate shooting from sixty paces away like Wujin.
"Big Brother Heimi doesn't need to be touted."
Wu Jin interrupted him with a smile, "Speaking of business, I have something I want to ask you for help with." ”
"Don't say the word 'ask', I don't like to hear it."
"Okay, please ask Brother Heimi to help, that's it!"
Wu Jin sat down first, Heimi poured him a cup of barley tea, and asked with a smile: "Do you want me to help you deal with the Guan family?" ”
Wu Jin inquired yesterday, Heimi and Changshi Xu Yuan have nothing to do with it, but he has a personal vendetta with the Guan family, when Heimi and his father were seafarers on the Guan family's ship, ten years ago his father had lung disease, Guan Tao, the third elder of the Guan family, was afraid of infection, so he ordered someone to throw his father into the sea, and when Heimi fished his father out of the sea, the person had drowned.
Although this is the rule on the ship, Heimi has formed a grudge with the Guan family.
"You're right."
Wu Jin's eyes also narrowed into a slit with a smile, and the long corners of his eyes made him look like a fox like an anime, "I talked to Su Thorn Shi today, I heard that there is a very powerful shadow warrior from Jiangning Mansion, so I need to get the help of you local snakes, you help me think about it, not only to steal the things on the shadow warrior, but also not to startle the snake, what do you say is the best way?" ”
"Childe, this is a bit difficult to do!" Heimi said with a bitter face.
"I know it's not easy, that's why I came to you, think about it, I know you must have a way."
"This ..... Let me think. ”
Heimi pondered for a moment, he seemed to have encountered this situation before, he suddenly slapped his head and laughed, "Why am I suddenly confused!" ”
He turned back to Wu Jin and smiled, "Childe, I have a wonderful solution. ”
