After Mr. Xu finished speaking, he took the lead and walked into the Fun House. Zhang Jialing naturally followed him in. The shopkeeper in the shop greeted the two of them with a smile.

After entering the back door of the shop, they reached the courtyard. Before Feng Jianhui arrived, the two of them couldn't enter the house, so they sat down on the stools on the corridor in the courtyard.

Mr. Xu looked at Zhang Jialing expectantly.

"Little girl, do you still have something to sell? Why don't you give the old man a look first?"

Zhang Jialing really didn't expect that Mr. Xu knew that she was here to sell things, so she asked curiously.

"Mr. Xu, how do you know I'm here to sell things?"

Mr. Xu chuckled and stroked his beard.

"Haha, Mr. Feng called me and asked me to look at something. He hasn't arrived yet, but you have come. I thought you must be selling something, but I'm very curious! Little girl , what do you do at home? You have collected so many good things?"

Zhang Jialing smiled when he heard this. He was not unhappy about what the old man said. The last time he came here to sell something, Feng Jianhui asked Mr. Xu to appraise it. It seems that Mr. Xu is still very good in the antiques industry. He has quite a reputation, so it is impossible for him to offend him.

So he took the phoenix hairpin directly from his pocket, actually from space, and gave it to Mr. Xu.

"Mr. Xu, give me your palm and see if this is something from the Yuan Dynasty?"

When Zhang Jialing took out the phoenix hairpin, Mr. Xu was attracted by the white phoenix hairpin. A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He stretched out his hands to carefully take it, and then began to observe it carefully. This phoenix hairpin.

The shopkeeper came over with a tea tray, served tea to the two of them respectively, nodded to Zhang Jialing, then turned and left, but when leaving, he glanced at the phoenix hairpin held in Mr. Xu's hand.

Zhang Jialing suddenly thought, it was a coincidence that the shopkeeper came to deliver tea, but when he remembered that this was Feng Jianhui's person, he didn't think much about it.

Mr. Xu looked at the phoenix hairpin with all his concentration. After a long while, he put it down and took out a magnifying glass from his pocket to look at it.

Zhang Jialing picked up the tea cup and took a sip. When she put down the tea cup, she heard the sound of footsteps. She looked around and found Feng Jianhui walking in in a hurry.

"Oh, Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, sister. Something happened on the way here and I was delayed. I'm sorry!"

Mr. Xu was still looking at the phoenix hairpin and ignored Feng Jianhui. Zhang Jialing smiled.

"It's nothing, we have only arrived for a while, and Mr. Xu can't wait to see the phoenix hairpin. Is this what you told Mr. Xu?"

Feng Jianhui smiled awkwardly and whispered.

"If I'm not afraid of girls' jokes, although I am more interested in antiques, I still lack some abilities, such as verifying whether they are treasures or fakes, and I am not very good at valuation, so every time We need to ask Mr. Xu for help.”

After saying that, he was still a little afraid that Zhang Jialing wouldn't believe it, so he continued.

"Both my grandfather and grandpa know Mr. Xu. They have been good friends for decades, so Mr. Xu can trust them."

Zhang Jialing nodded and said he understood. In fact, it didn't matter if Feng Jianhui didn't explain. He was just here to sell things. As long as he didn't lose too much, it didn't matter. He was just exchanging some funds to buy a courtyard house.

"By the way, Brother Feng, do you know some craftsmen there? You have also seen that the courtyard I bought is a bit dilapidated. I want to repair it, but I don't know many people, so I just want to ask. Does Brother Feng know any craftsmen or something like that?"

After listening to this, Feng Jianhui thought of the yard that Zhang Jialing bought, which was indeed a bit shabby, and said.

"I don't know any craftsmen or anything like that, but the girl will give me a few days and I'll ask my friends to see who knows them. When the news comes, I'll go to the compound to look for the girl."

At this time, Mr. Xu also put down the phoenix hairpin, looked at Zhang Jialing and said.

"Little girl, how much do you plan to sell this for?"

When Zhang Jialing heard Mr. Xu say this, he immediately knew something in his mind, but he really didn't understand this, so what could he say? smiled.

"Mr. Xu, please first tell me the origin of this phoenix hairpin."

Mr. Xu secretly thought: Little fox, but he smiled on his face.

"This phoenix hairpin is from the late Song Dynasty, not the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, what you said is not wrong. The phoenix hairpin from the Yuan Dynasty actually continued the carving craftsmanship of the Song Dynasty, so there are more phoenix hairpins from the Yuan Dynasty circulating on the market. But the phoenix hairpin you have is indeed from the late Song Dynasty, but the latter period of the Song Dynasty was chaotic for many years, so many were lost, so most of the similar phoenix hairpins that survive are from the Yuan Dynasty."

Zhang Jialing laughed after hearing this. His inference was not wrong. He had only read a few books about antiques. Unexpectedly, he made a pretty good guess. It seems that he still has some skills in this field. of talent.

"Mr. Xu, how much do you think this phoenix hairpin is worth?"

Mr. Xu pondered for a moment.

"If you want to sell this phoenix hairpin, you can't pay less than 20,000 yuan. Little girl, I won't bully you. If you want to sell it, I can buy it for 21,000 yuan!"

Zhang Jialing was very surprised when she heard this. The phoenix hairpin she bought for 20 yuan could be sold for 21,000 yuan. She was excited when Feng Jianhui next to her jumped up immediately.

"Hey, Mr. Xu, that's not what happened. I made an agreement with my sister a few days ago that I want to accept this phoenix hairpin, but you keep doing this to me, isn't it too bad? OK!"

Mr. Xu chuckled.

"Boss Feng, this is how business is done, the one with the highest price gets it. If you pay more than me, then I have nothing to say, so you say so!"

When Feng Jianhui heard Mr. Xu's words, he immediately curled his lips.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, isn't it just over 20,000 yuan? I can afford it. I will pay 22,000 yuan."

As soon as Feng Jianhui finished speaking, Mr. Xu followed closely.

"Twenty-three thousand dollars."

"Twenty-four thousand yuan." Feng Jianhui followed closely.

"I'll pay 25,000 yuan." Mr. Xu's words followed closely.

Feng Jianhui gritted his teeth and looked at Mr. Xu slowly with an angry look on his face.

"I...offer...two...ten thousand...eight...thousand...money."

A flash of light flashed in Mr. Xu's eyes, but it disappeared immediately. He looked at the phoenix hairpin on the table with regret and sighed.

"Forget it, I won't fight with you anymore, I'll just let it go to you!"

Feng Jianhui didn't see the glint in Mr. Xu's eyes. He looked at the phoenix hairpin on the table with joy, picked it up and put it in Zhang Jialing's hand, and said to Zhang Jialing.

"Sister, just wait, I'll prepare some money for you, and I'll be here soon."

After saying that, he ran away without a trace.

Zhang Jialing was still thinking about why Mr. Xu was helping her so much. She just saw the smile in Mr. Xu's eyes.
