Chapter 3: The Fan

"I'm sorry, I don't know how to touch it." Sheng Rong waved his hand innocently.

"Ahhh You ......" Jiang Yuanyuan fried her hair.

Chen Mofan looked at the road in front of him and sighed softly, these two people are really dull.

Suddenly thinking that Jiang Xuan was also a little confused, Chen Mofan evoked a smile, Jiang Yuanyuan and Jiang Xuan, the two brothers and sisters, are really very similar, and they love fried hair, which is really exactly the same.

When they arrived at the place, the three of them went to the pawnshop first, Sheng Rong went in alone, and Jiang Yuanyuan and Chen Mofan were hanging out outside.

Sheng Rong specially chose this pawnshop, this pawnshop is a chain, it is a household name in the capital, as small as a chicken, as big as your entire net worth can be placed here, very safe, and fair, Sheng Rong believes in this pawnshop, so he did not hesitate to choose this pawnshop.

There are quite a lot of people in the pawnshop, there are all compartments inside, there is a meter gap between the compartments and the compartments, and there is basically nothing to hear outside when they talk inside, and there are only a few compartments in these compartments where there are no people.

The process of these pawnshops is very interesting, you first take your things to the valuation, and then wait in line in the corresponding compartment, which greatly reduces the confusion between different prices, and there are really a lot of guards in it!

At a glance, there were some people standing with knives, and there were some people sitting on the side in ordinary clothes, if Sheng Rong hadn't practiced some kung fu, he could see that these people were very stable, and he couldn't have imagined that these ordinary people who seemed to have nothing to do were actually guards.

Walking to the counter, Sheng Rong took out the candlestick inside the package and put it on the counter.

"Boss, let's estimate it."

The old gentleman who was holding the abacus nodded, and only raised his head after finishing the last stroke in his hand, he took the candlestick and looked at it, pondered left and right, and after thinking for a while, he took out a brand of five hundred taels from the side.

"If the old man is not mistaken, this candlestick should be a pair, this candlestick is good, but it is just a bump and bump, it is worth a hundred taels, but the old man believes that the customer officer wants to trade more than this candlestick, so give the guest officer a brand of five hundred taels, there are few people here, hurry up."

As he spoke, the old gentleman put the candlestick away and presented it with both hands.

"Then thank you, sir." Sheng Rong nodded, put up the candlestick, took the sign in the old gentleman's hand, and walked back to salute.

The old gentleman also took a step back.

When I came to this compartment in the range of five hundred taels to one thousand taels, I found that it was really much quieter in comparison, and there were almost no people.

Walking into the compartment, there was an old man with gray hair sitting inside.

"Hello sir!" Saluting, Sheng Rong smiled and put the sign in his hand on the table, the old man nodded, stood up and stretched out his hand to point to the chair.

"You may be seated."

"Thank you." Sheng Rong sat down, he took out the candlestick and belt in the baggage, and Sheng Rong didn't plan to take out the fan in it for the time being.

The old gentleman took it and looked at it, this candlestick was originally discarded by Sheng Xuan, and if it was not kept properly, it was naturally not worth the original price, Sheng Rong estimated in his heart that three or two hundred was the highest price, as for this belt, the old belt, even if it was inlaid with a gem in the middle, only this gem was worth a few dozen taels of silver.

After all, it is just a gemstone that is not pure, and this kind of gemstone with poor texture is not worth much.

"Sir's candlestick, and this belt, are worth less than five hundred taels, is there anything else that has not been taken out?" The old gentleman put the things back in their place, he squinted and smiled, looking very kind, although his eyes were a little cloudy, but the eyes of the things were vicious.

"Yes, indeed." Sheng Rong smiled, "But before I take it out, I want to know the old gentleman's valuation of the two things." ”

"Hmm...... Will you come and redeem them later? The old gentleman nodded knowingly, he picked up the pen and wrote and drew on the paper, "According to the rules of our side, if you want to redeem it in the future, this price will have to be subtracted by 20% from the price we negotiated, but when you come to redeem it, you have to redeem it with the original price." ”

"These two pieces...... It's all useless. Sheng Rong shook his head, "What is the valuation of Mr.?" ”

"What about the price?" The old gentleman turned the paper in a different direction and pushed it in front of Sheng Rong, and the paper said two hundred and sixty and one fifty.

"Mention the number?" Sheng Rong shook his head, he took the pen here, dipped it in ink, and added a twenty to the original number.

"This pair of candlesticks has been bumping and bumping for a long time, and the carvings on them are a little blurry, and the color has also dimmed. As for this belt, Mr. must also know very well that this belt is not valuable, and the workmanship is indeed lean, but after all, it is just an old belt, and the trimmings are a little worn, and it is worth fifty taels at most. The old gentleman shook his head, "Why don't you take out the last piece in your hand first, let me estimate it?" ”

Sheng Rong was silent, looking at this belt, he was a little powerless to compromise after all.

took out the fan in the package, looked at the pattern with affection, and thought of everything that had been, he finally took it out, "Sir, let's estimate it first." ”

The old gentleman realized the origin of this fan at first sight, he stood up and held it with both hands, and carefully studied the skeleton of this fan and the jade pendant falling underneath.

Gently open this fan, a landscape map appears in front of you, there is no trace of folding on the surface of this fan, landscape painting is still with color, each mountain peak seems to be flushed with cyan, but obliquely look at it with a little bit of red, the aspect is also a painting, the shape is the same as the landscape, but it is not a landscape painting, but a garden map.

"This! Is this the fan made by Master Gumo? The old gentleman is like a treasure, holding the fan in one hand and touching the scenery on the fan with one hand and the other hand, this concave and convex touch, it seems that you can feel the edges and corners of the peaks, and you can feel the joy of the visitors.

"Exactly, I got this fan by chance at home, which is one of the works of Master Gu Mo in his later years." Sheng Rong looked at this fan with some nostalgia, this fan has always been treasured at home, although it is only one of the thousands of works in the life of Master Gu Mo, but it has been treasured by his grandfather for many years, and later his grandfather gave it to him, and the family kept it on his behalf, when his grandfather died, he once called him to go to bed to talk, and asked him to take this fan to go, and he talked a lot to him.

Grandpa said that this fan is their life, and my grandfather has been interpreting the works of Master Gu Mo all his life, and he said that he finally understands why this series of works are nameless, not that Master Gu Mo can't think of a name, but that this painting is nameless.

Different people holding this fan will have different feelings, one person can't name this work, different people, different interpretations, so there is no name.

Sheng Rong lowered his head and smiled bitterly, when he held this fan, he only felt that holding this fan brought countless envy, the appreciation of the people around him, a noble representative, what a gentleman should have, and something that ordinary people can't touch in a lifetime.

This kind of thing is called power, called status, holding this fan, it is the representative of power and status, the garden map is his life, and the mountains and rivers are the rivers and mountains of his prosperous family.

Later, when these things happened, the emperor's grandfather once came to the house to see them, and the emperor, who walked around the house, returned the fan to him, and asked him how he felt when he held it in his hand.

He said at the time that this was ridicule and shame, and the garden map was an area that he could no longer reach, and the mountains and rivers had nothing to do with him, the emperor laughed, and the emperor said that he couldn't let go.

Later, when he came here, he didn't want to see this fan, but in his slow life, after slowly accepting all this, after making a lot of friends, when he saw this fan again, he only felt that this landscape was so beautiful, and the people who visited the garden were so happy! Living here, living the life of an ordinary person, every day, looking at the landscape, every moment, is in the garden.

Raising his hand to naturally twist away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Sheng Rong suddenly felt that this is what the imperial grandfather said to put down.

"I don't plan to redeem this fan, how much does Mr. think it's worth?"
