Chapter 126: Who gave you the guts
When the old lady heard this, her rickety body trembled slightly, and said, "Mr. Miao, are you mistaken, take a closer look?" ”
"This jade bracelet is a dowry left to me by my mother, my father used to be an errand in the Qing Palace, these are all things rewarded by the master of the palace, how can it not be worthless?"
The man, who was called Mr. Miao, pretended to observe for a while, sighed, and said, "Old lady, this thing is indeed worthless, and the quality of the jade is not good. ”
"You also know that the Qing court was in turmoil a hundred years ago, and what good things could it give?"
The old lady sighed, full of loss: "Mr. Miao, how much do you think this jade bracelet is worth?" ”
"This jade bracelet is worthless in the current market, but I think you are pitiful, old lady, so let's do it, I will pay five hundred yuan to collect it."
Mr. Miao said as he looked at the dozen or so ancient artifacts piled up on the ground next to him, and said, "Old lady, look at your pair of gold earrings, they don't add up to ten grams, and now you know the price of gold, less than three hundred yuan, and a big head of gold like you is even less valuable." ”
"And that ceramic bowl, you said it was used by Emperor Guangxu, so who can say clearly?"
"Look at this inkstone again, it is indeed some years old, but it is already missing corners."
Mr. Miao picked up the ancient artifacts placed over there one after another and said, it was really the head of the way, in his eyes, it seemed that these were just a pile of broken copper and iron, worthless.
The old lady next to her listened, her eyes were full of loss, and at this time, in the room, there was a violent coughing sound, and soon, an old man with the same rickety figure, crutches, and a yellow face walked out of it with difficulty.
"Mr. Miao, these ancient artifacts are indeed handed down from our ancestors, and they will never be as worthless as you say."
Mr. Miao narrowed his eyes and said, "Uncle, you see that you are sick, why do you come out if you have nothing to do, go back and lie on the bed, what if the cool breeze blows and the condition worsens?" ”
"I think you two elders are really pitiful, but these things are really not very valuable."
"Otherwise, I'll give a total of 5,000 yuan here, and I'll pack it up, and it will be regarded as relief for you two elders."
"You see that you have no children under your knees, and now the old man is seriously ill and needs to spend money urgently, and I have already bought it at a loss for five thousand yuan."
The old lady was a little hesitant, their life was already difficult, and now that her wife was sick again, otherwise, she would not have taken out her dowry and sold it.
However, with so many treasures, adding up to only 5,000 yuan, she was naturally reluctant to give up.
"Mr. Miao, do you think you can add more?"
"Can't add it, that's enough." Mr. Miao waved his hand for the first time and said, "Old lady, I have already lost 5,000 yuan." ”
"Then we won't sell, let's go."
The old man behind him coughed violently a few times again and said to Mr. Miao.
Mr. Miao frowned, the expression on his face became a little ugly, and said, "Old man, look at what you are talking about, my feelings are like I am deceiving you." ”
"Let's put it this way, I've been doing antiques for decades, and I've never looked away from anything, and my reputation is out, and even many antique bosses here in Qingshi will let me Miao someone go to appraise treasures, has Liu Sanye heard of it? The antique business is all done in Jingzhou, and I am his royal treasure connoisseur. “
"So, my reputation is here, and I will never talk nonsense to you, your big bunch of things, adding up to five thousand yuan is already a lot."
"How much is your business, we won't sell it."
The old lady still said the same thing, and walked to the pile of ancient artifacts on crutches, and was about to put them away.
At this time, Mr. Miao's face finally wiped a trace of gloom.
He glanced at the group of ruffians next to him, and the leader immediately threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and led the group of people behind him to gather around this side.
"Old man, are you making fun of us?"
"You see that we came down from the city, and we don't need to spend money on manpower, carriage and horses? You won't sell a word now, what about playing us? ”
The old lady glanced at the group of people, and there was a trace of panic in the eyes of the two old men, and said: "You came by yourself, and we didn't ask you to come, the business is all voluntary, what are we doing?" ”
"Old man, you're not right."
Mr. Miao narrowed his eyes and said, "This is the news that your old lady went to the pawnshop in the city and asked the pawn shop owner to help release it, we came here after knowing the news, if you don't do that, we won't come." ”
"Now that we're here, and you don't sell it, it's unreasonable."
As he spoke, Mr. Miao took out a cigarette gun from his waist, lit it with tobacco leaves, took a deep breath, and said: "Today's matter is generally resolved, my brother is right, you see that we came down from the city, and the carriage and horse expenses and labor expenses are all money."
"If you are willing to sell it today, 5,000 yuan, buy it and leave."
"If you don't know what to do, it's okay, you make up our 1,000 yuan for the carriage and horses, and we'll turn around and leave."
"Where are we going to get a thousand dollars?"
When the old lady heard this, she was anxious, and then nervously said to the old man next to her: "Old man, sell it, it's useless for us to keep these things anyway, you see that you are so sick now, you also need money." ”
"He's clearly a cheater." The old man's personality is a little stubborn, and it is said that this old man participated in the war when he was young: "What is the difference between you people and robbers, get out of me immediately, we will not sell it." “
"Old man, I said it, take a thousand yuan out, let's turn around and leave, if you don't take it?"
A trace of hideousness appeared on the face of the inch, and a spring dagger was found in his hand: "Old man, you are just on crutches now, believe it or not, Lao Tzu let you use a wheelchair?" ”
"You dog bastard, your grandfather wasn't even born when Lao Tzu killed devils on the battlefield, I'm a hundred years old, and I'm still afraid of your threat?"
"If you have the ability, come over and stab Lao Tzu in the chest."
The inch's face was even more hideous: "Old man, you really don't know whether to live or die, do you really think that Lao Tzu will not dare to touch you?" Today, you have to sell these things, or Lao Tzu will let you know why the flowers are so red. ”
This scene was seen by Ye Feng and Yan Fu, who entered the door, and anger was already on their faces.
Ye Feng didn't say a word, he rushed up and snatched the dagger in his hand, slapped him in the face, and said: "You want to accept hundreds of thousands of things, and you dare to threaten the lonely old man with a knife, who gave you the courage?" ”
