"Have I seen this Crown Princess somewhere before? Why does it look familiar?"
Li Han started coughing crazily, and Wei Haohao was interrupted from his train of thought. After almost buying everything, Wei Haohao planned to go back home. In his hurry, he didn't forget to take away the newly made candy figures.
After turning a corner and leaving here, Li Jun stopped coughing. It's a bit uncomfortable because I keep coughing.
Today is the last day to set up stalls on the street, and starting tomorrow, we will enter the New Year holiday period. Therefore, this is also a time when business at various stalls is booming. On the busy street, there is a shop that is out of tune with its surroundings.
"Jade shop." Wei Haohao looked at this peculiar shop with interest. Although jade is said to be the plaything of wealthy people, as the New Year approaches, the similar jade shops they encounter around them are doing a booming business.
When I took a closer look, I found that there was nothing in this huge store, which was a bit puzzling.
"It turns out that we don't sell anything here, so let's go back." Wei Haohao thought that this shop was newly opened or closed.
The shopkeeper, who was sleeping behind the counter, was unhappy when Wei Haohao said this.
"There are things, but it depends on whether you can afford the price."
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone in Kyoto knows this. My shop only sells one thing, the Moyu Landscape brand handed down from our ancestors. The price is one hundred thousand taels, no counter-offering."
"One hundred thousand taels?" Wei Haohao was shocked.
"What precious jade is so valuable?"
The shopkeeper took out a small sandalwood box from under the cabinet. After opening it, there was a black jade tablet about two inches long inside. , Wei Haohao picked it up and exposed it to the sunshine outside, revealing the light. It seems to be real jade.
This jade plaque was as black as ink, with fine texture. It was smooth, smooth and cute in the hand. Wei Haohao fell in love with it immediately.
"Even if it is made of expensive Hetian Moyu, such a piece only costs a thousand dollars. Shopkeeper, are you trying to trick us into not understanding?"
The shopkeeper looks like As if he knew she would say this, he said nonchalantly: "If you don't want to buy it, leave quickly. Today is the last day of our store's business. Tomorrow, I will move back to my hometown with my family."
"Moving back to my hometown, Why? ”
“Not only are things expensive in Kyoto, but the monthly rent for this shop is only two taels of silver. The family is almost out of food, so how can they afford to wait here? ” < /p>
"How many years has this shop been open?"
"It's been nearly a hundred years. It was passed down from my great-grandfather's generation, and it finally fell into my hands. "Perhaps it was the last day, so the shopkeeper couldn't help but talk too much.
"How could a century-old store be like this?"
p>"Since my father's generation, our family has been in decline. My father and I are not good at business, and we can't tell whether this jade is genuine or not. We have been deceived a lot. In the end, only this piece of legend remains. The treasure of the family."
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
Although the shopkeeper's plight was very sympathetic, no matter how Wei Haohao thought, this piece of black jade was not worth the price.
"Shopkeeper, you should know the value of this black jade, why did you set such an unreliable sky-high price?"
"This was handed down from our ancestors, and we asked for the price at the beginning. One million taels, but no one cared about it. It was changed to one hundred thousand taels in my generation."
"Although you have dropped a lot, it is obvious that this is far beyond Mo Yu. Its own value."
"The reason why this piece of black jade is valuable is because of a legend."
"What legend?" Wei Haohao became interested.
"It is said that this piece of jade was left by the gods."
"It's over?" Is it over?
The shopkeeper nodded, it was over.
"Now I finally know why you got into this situation." It's really unreliable, and you can't be so perfunctory in bluffing, right?
"I'm not lying to you. If you make a lie, the sky will strike like lightning."
Wei Haohao smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, how many people are there in your family?"
< p> "My wife, I also have a five-year-old son, who is both weak and sick and needs decoction to survive." The shopkeeper was a little worried. If it weren't for this reason, it might be possible to survive for a while longer."Shopkeeper, look, this situation is your fault. This black jade is not worth a hundred thousand taels. Are you treating others as fools by offering a sky-high price? Besides, your family is of a decent family. It’s no longer just a day or two. Madam and your children are suffering with you, but you regard a stone as a treasure and refuse to change a better life for them and their children. As you said, even if you go back to your hometown, there are still people there. Can you spend 100,000 taels in exchange for this stone? It’s not a small sum to seek medical treatment and take medicine when you are sick. I believe you know this well. My husband is in poor health and I died less than two months after I married him. More than 200,000 taels of silver have been spent. Does the shopkeeper have the financial resources to support it? A man must have a pattern. Those who achieve great things must not stick to trivial matters. You must have a long-term vision. You have to sell this piece of black jade as soon as possible. Only if you get a good price can you use this money to make other livelihoods and turn your career around, so that your life will be better and better. If you hold this stone all day long and have unrealistic dreams, then everything will be fine. It might be a waste of money. The shop owner is a businessman, so he should know more about how this pawn shop prospered than I do. If there is an urgent need to sell it, will there be a chance to meet a seller like me? Think about it for yourself. "
After hearing Wei Haohao's analysis, the shopkeeper also felt that it was very reasonable. Wei Haohao did not exaggerate. What he said was reasonable and reasonable.The hidden worries in my heart are just clinging to the last bit of defense and refusing to let go. But as Wei Haohao said, when the time came to urgently need action, would anyone in a remote place like their hometown be willing to take out the one hundred thousand taels? Haha, let alone one hundred thousand taels, even ten taels would be difficult.
After some inner struggle, the shopkeeper had already made a decision. He asked: "What price is Madam willing to pay?"
"Three thousand taels. This black jade It's only worth a thousand taels. The carving is good, and three thousand taels is a very fair price."
"This legend left by our ancestors should be useful."
p>"Five thousand taels. Shopkeeper, I know that your wife's children are frail and sick. I can ask the imperial physician to come and take a look at them. What do you think?"
The shopkeeper was completely impressed and said : "Okay, five thousand taels is five thousand taels."
"Jiusu, give him the banknote. Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." Wei Haohao happily picked up the landscape plaque and hung it on the Li Han's neck, said: "New Year's gift, do you like it?"
Li Han lowered his head and glanced, couldn't help but rub it with his hand, and smiled at Wei Haohao.
