Siheyuan: Jiehu Lou Xiaoe

Chapter 91
Uncle Guan, the admiral of the nine gates, is a big figure in the antique circle in the capital. It is said that he did serve as the admiral of the nine gates when his ancestor was in the Qing Dynasty, so he got this nickname.

"If you're interested in this line of business, I'll see him tomorrow and ask him to come. You two know each other."

said the deaf old lady.

Hearing this, Su Ci became even more excited.

Uncle Guan is one of the best people in the circle. If he can get to know him, he can at least learn a lot, which will help Su Ci collect antiques in the future.

"Grandma, do you really know Uncle Guan? Why don't you make an appointment with him and I'll meet him?"

Su Ci couldn't believe it.

"You said that, when did grandma lie to you, but don't go, let him come here by himself, I still have some face."

said the deaf old lady.

Su Ci was surprised again, he didn't expect the deaf old lady to have such great energy, so that Uncle Guan came to the door in person.

Then the old lady waved her hand, go to sleep.

It's such a big deal, it makes my grandson worry about it.

Seeing the arrogance of the old lady, Su Ci immediately smiled.

……

The next morning, Su Ci came to the deaf old lady's room early, and while helping the deaf old lady get up and wash, he waited for Uncle Guan.

Su Ci's behavior was naturally noticed by the deaf old lady.

"Don't worry, I've sent someone to deliver a message, and the kid will definitely come when he receives it."

said the deaf old lady.

Su Ci was speechless for a while, what is the identity of Uncle Guan, he is the admiral of the Nine Gates, and now it is the level of the Chief of Police in the capital.

And the deaf old lady directly called Uncle Guan "boy", I am afraid that only the deaf old lady dared to call him that in the capital.

Su Ci and the deaf old lady waited in the house for about half an hour, when a figure walked into the yard.

Both of them were wearing gray long gowns and old Beijing canvas shoes, quite a bit of Qing Dynasty style.

It was Uncle Guan who came.

"Old lady, are you home? The junior came to see you."

As soon as people entered, Uncle Guan's voice came into the room.

The deaf old lady stood up and said, "Here comes the man."

But before the deaf old lady left the house, Uncle Guan walked in.

Su Ci originally wanted to go up to say hello, but before he could speak, Uncle Guan took the lead in bowing deeply to the deaf old lady.

"Old lady, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still so energetic."

Uncle Guan said.

The deaf old lady looked at Uncle Guan in front of her, she was overjoyed, and quickly asked Uncle Guan to sit down.

"Old lady, why did you remember to summon me? I thought you forgot about the boy?"

Uncle Guan said.

Uncle Guan's flattering look almost made Su Ci's jaw drop in shock.

"Hehehe, you haven't come to see me, old woman. If I don't ask you to come today, you might forget me!"

The deaf old lady joked.

"Oh! Madam, what did you say about this matter? How dare you forget you, kid? Aren't you afraid of disturbing your old man's cleanliness? As soon as I heard that you wanted to see the kid, I took Chunming and rushed to you no?"

Uncle Guan said.

"Xiaoguan, I called you here today because I want to ask you for help. My grandson is very interested in antiques and I want you to take him with me."

said the deaf old lady.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Guan got up quickly.

"Old lady, you are really pissing me off. If you have something to do, you can just order it, and there is no need to ask."

The deaf old lady nodded in satisfaction and looked at Su Ci.

"My dear grandson, I haven't seen Uncle Guan yet."

Su Ci hurriedly got up and bent over, and said to Uncle Guan respectfully.

"Junior Su Ci, I have met Uncle Guan."

Uncle Guan stepped forward to help Su Ci up and looked him up and down.

"Good! Good! Good! This child is really a good-looking talent, and his eyes are particularly bright. It can be seen that he is a good seedling. For the sake of the old lady, I will take this child."

Uncle Guan said.

When Su Ci heard this, he quickly expressed his thanks.

Then the deaf old lady chatted with Uncle Guan about the past.

It turned out that during the Anti-Japanese War, the deaf old lady not only made straw sandals for the Red Army, but also covered many people after the devils entered the city, so she was very famous in the capital, and many dignitaries respected her very much.

"Xiao Guan! I have an idea. I want you to accept my grandson as an apprentice. You can see if it works."

said the deaf old lady.

Uncle Guan's face was a bit embarrassed at this moment,

"Old lady, it's no problem for me to take your grandson with me, but you also know that there are rules in this industry, and it's easy to take someone along, but our apprentices pay attention to inheritance. Picking up such an apprentice when we first met, does that make people know that I'm not a joke?"

"This is known, and he will not be able to hold his head up in the antique world in the future."

"Why don't you let me test him."

Uncle Guan said.

The deaf old lady nodded.

After getting the consent of the deaf old lady, Uncle Guan turned to look at Su Ci.

"Boy Su, you heard what I said just now, right? We rely on our ability to earn our living in this profession. If you really want to enter this profession, then you have to show off your skills today. Let's see what unique skills you have?"

Uncle Guan said.

Su Ci got up and saluted and said.

"Uncle Guan, although I don't understand the value of antiques and their history, my eyesight has been good since I was a child, so you can test my eyesight."

Just kidding, the rewards given by the system are not blown out, it’s just that I don’t understand it well

These words immediately aroused Uncle Guan's interest.

Soon Uncle Guan asked Han Chunming to take out the two small porcelain bottles he just received two days ago.

Su Ci opened Jianzhen's Eye, picked up the porcelain bottle and looked around, then put it back where it was.

"Uncle Guan, these two small porcelain vases should be about 100 years old, probably from the Guangxu period. It seems that they should be from official kilns, but I don't know the value."

Su Ci said.

Uncle Guan was taken aback for a moment, because what Su Ci said was not wrong at all. He had confirmed yesterday that these two small porcelain bottles were indeed from the Guangxu period.

Although these two porcelain vases are not worth much in their eyes, they are of high collection value because they are from official kilns.

And the admiral of the Nine Gates never expected that the young man in his early twenties in front of him would just pick it up and look around before seeing it.

"Haven't you ever learned how to appreciate ancient times from others?"

Appreciating ancient times can be regarded as a craft in the collection industry, which simply analyzes the approximate age of objects through eyesight.

The admiral of the nine gates looked at Su Ci and said.

Su Ci shook his head lightly.

"Hahaha! You are really talented, you are so talented, old lady, your grandson is made for this job"

"Old lady, I didn't come here in vain today, let me pick up the treasure, I accept your grandson."

Uncle Guan laughed loudly.

Ask for a monthly ticket reward! ! ! !
