Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

(Brothers, I'm very busy at work recently, so I might not be able to update anymore)

In this crowded teahouse, many veterans in the antique business were pretending to listen to crosstalk.

Occasionally, I would glance at that country boy.

When the crosstalk reached its climax, the crowd began to applaud.

There were also some generous people who started to give rewards.

Soon, there were more than a dozen fifty-cent and one-yuan bills on the stage.

Someone else shouted loudly.

"Xiao Ma, come back tomorrow and I will continue to support you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the famous teacher Xiao Ma became excited.

"Everyone, you are my breadwinners, you are my masters. Tomorrow, even if you want me to buy a butt, I won't say a word."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room burst into laughter. A few more tickets were given out for reward.

The art of crosstalk originally originated from the grassroots.

There is no such thing as something that appeals to both the elite and the masses.

People listen to crosstalk just for fun, but if you tell a great truth, no one will listen. People who tell crosstalk like this will starve to death sooner or later.

By this time the excitement had passed, and the country youths looked at the men and women in the teahouse, who were only focused on listening to the crosstalk.

There wasn't even a waiter to serve him, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he stood up and wanted to leave.

Seeing that the country youth wanted to leave, those who were closest to him began to talk to him.

"Little brother, what's your name? What's in this bag? Can you please open my eyes?"

When the young man saw someone talking to him, his expression improved a little.

"Uncle, my name is Zheng Erhe."

“The things in the bag are for sale.”

After saying that, he quickly wrapped it in the floral cloth and put it on the table.

Then open it layer by layer.

After a while, the true identities of several antiques were revealed.

Li Zihang was not too far away from them, and after taking a few glances, he had a general understanding of those things.

This is an insider in the industry who keeps his eyes and ears open.

From time to time, he would glance at both parties who were asking the price.

The two chatted for a while, and the old man who asked the price shook his head and said with a smile.

"Little brother, sit here for a while. Maybe someone can afford the price."

As soon as the person who asked the price left, two more people came over to chat.

Let’s talk about the price issue, that’s all.

At the next table, an old man who had just come back from asking prices was still talking about what had just happened.

Li Zihang asked the man curiously.

"Uncle Liu, what did that owner bring?"

Uncle Liu, sitting on a chair, took a sip of tea and said.

A gilt general seal from the Sui and Tang dynasties, and a jade pendant from the same period.

Li Zihang: "What's the price?"

Uncle Liu made a secret gesture to Li Zihang, making an eight-character hand shape.

Li Zihang: "No wonder you guys just left after asking the price."

Uncle Liu also said with regret.

"That kid is a fool and won't give in. Otherwise I would have taken action long ago."

Li Zihang calculated in his mind that the price of eight hundred yuan was based on the Sui and Tang general seals and jade pendants of the same period.

Even if you buy it, you won't make much money. You might even end up losing money.

Unless you meet someone who really likes this kind of antiques.

If he was a young master at home, he would have bought it without hesitation at this price.

After working for another half an hour, no one came forward to ask the price.

The country boy, seeing that no one asked about the price, prepared to leave.

Li Zihang saw that the time was almost right and prepared to step forward and try his luck.

Li Zihang: "Brother, don't rush to put your things away now."

As he spoke, he grabbed the young man's arm.

This person also had a puzzled look on his face when he saw Li Zihang.

Everyone who comes forward to ask about the price is a middle-aged or elderly person.

None of them is as young as Li Zihang.

Zheng Erhe asked tentatively.

"Little brother, are you here to ask about the price too?"

Li Zihang smiled and nodded.

So they sat down again.

At this time, Uncle Guan also came over to help Li Zihang.

Li Zihang picked up the small gilded general seal on the table.

When I saw the words engraved on it, I knew whose seal it belonged to.

A small square seal with a diameter of three centimeters. On it is a small beast, Bixi, also known as Baxia.

The words "General of Chariots and Cavalry" are engraved on it, and "Yuan Xin" is engraved on the back of the little boy.

After seeing this information, Li Zihang knew whose seal this was.

"Yuan Xin" was one of the Eight Pillars of the Sui Dynasty. He was a minister of the Yuan Wei royal family, the grandson of Emperor Xianwen of Wei, Tuoba Hong, and the son of Yuan Yu, the King of Guangling.

After Li Zihang put down the gilded seal, he picked up the jade pendant.

This pendant is a first-grade Peishanxuan jade pendant from the Sui Dynasty.

The Qilin cloud-head ladder jade Heng is 14.5 cm long, 5.2 cm high and 0.5 cm thick.

Li Zihang estimated that this thing should have come from the same tomb. The thing was correct.

Li Zihang was selling potted plants near Peking University recently, and got to know many professors who liked antiques.

He also knew an old professor in the literature department who particularly liked antiques such as jade pendants and seals.

If he buys this thing, he can definitely make a few hundred dollars by reselling it.

Just when Li Zihang was about to make a bid, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart.

It feels like something bad is going to happen.

This suddenly made him hesitate. If someone else bought this thing, they might bet on it or only make less money.

He has connections, and knows who likes this kind of antiques. If he buys them, he will definitely make money.

But the throbbing in his heart made him afraid to pay for it.

After hesitating for a while, Li Zihang decided to give up.

While admiring the items at Uncle Guan's, Li Zihang wrote down the names of professors who liked this kind of antiques.

Then he walked back and pulled Uncle Guan aside.

Li Zihang: "Brother Zheng, please sit down for a while. Let's go to the side and discuss this."

Li Zihang said after pulling Uncle Guan to a corner of the teahouse.

"Master Guan, I'm sure you can see the origins of the seal and the jade pendant. You can definitely make some money by buying them back. I have a way."

After saying that, he handed the note with the Peking University professor's name on it to Uncle Guan.

Uncle Guan, I still don’t quite understand what Li Zihang means.

"Boy, you have connections and money to make. Why do you give the things to me?"

After listening to this, Li Zihang just shook his head without explaining anything.

After the two of them returned, Uncle Guan prepared to buy the items.

At this point Liu Dahe suddenly changed his mind.

Said to Uncle Guan who was taking out money.

"Sir, you haven't asked the price yet."

Uncle Guan said doubtfully.

"Aren't the two items eight hundred?"

Liu Erhe: "That was just now. Now I want one thousand for these two items."

As soon as these words came out, Li Zihang and Uncle Guan looked at each other.

Uncle Guan said a little unhappily.

"Kid, this is not the way to do business."

"You are asking for too much. You should also consider the time. You have been in the teahouse for almost two hours."

"You want to offer eight hundred, but I'm the only one who wants it. Since you're changing your mind now, you should keep the thing for yourself."

After Uncle Guan finished speaking, he stood up and left.

When Li Zihang heard this, the excitement in his heart was further confirmed.

As Li Zihang and the other man left, the country boy's expression changed.

After sitting for a while, no one came up to ask the price, so I left in shame.

Here, Li Zihang sat for the whole morning. He bought a piece of porcelain and spent more than twenty yuan on it.

Liulichang, in a small alley.

At this time, Zheng Erhe was reporting what had just happened to someone.

"I didn't fall for it. It was about to be done, but then I don't know why he gave it to an old man."

After Zheng Erhe's accomplices heard this.

I almost burst into a curse.

"You bastard, you are more likely to cause trouble than to help. Can't you see that I am moved?"

"You, damn it, raised the price at the last minute."

"With my brain, is it possible that I can't think of the problem?"

After this person finished speaking, he added something else in a bad mood.

"You can't show up next time, idiot~"

Another half month passed in a flash. Because of selling potted plants, Li Zihang got in touch with many teachers and professors in the Department of Literature and the Department of Archaeology at Peking University.

When he received good stuff, he didn't go to Liulichang to ship it out, but sold it directly to those big shots.

Bonsai business, plus antique business.

This month, he made a net profit of nearly 500 yuan.

With a bonsai body, every time you go to the government to pay taxes, you can get the corresponding receipt.

Now, he is living a happy life.

I decorate the potted plants every day, or I just do some supporting work.

From time to time, I go to Liulichang to drink tea and collect antiques.

Li Zihang is living a good life, but some people are in a bad mood.

Li family, study in the north room.

The old man and Mr. Ju were drinking tea, playing chess and chatting.

The old man said, "Brother, Xiaohang has been having a good time recently. Do you think it is useful to let him go out for training?"

Ju Ye put down the purple clay teapot in his hand.

He looked at the old man and said.

"Brother Min, are you thinking out of place?"

"You trained Xiaohang so that he could experience that life is not easy and understand people's hearts."

"We have been setting up various traps for such a long time, and except for the first time when Xiaohang was fooled, he saw through all the others."

"Besides, Xiaohang can still live a comfortable life without relying on his family."

After saying this, Ju Ye asked again.

"Doesn't this prove Xiaohang's ability?"

"As for the question of knowing people's hearts, to put it bluntly, Xiaohang can definitely tell the difference between most people and the vast majority."

"He can see it clearly, but Xiaohang has a scale in his heart that can distinguish between good and evil, beauty and ugliness."

"It's just that he's too lazy to care about some things."

"As for what those people next door are like, Xiaohang knows them to the core."

"Xiaohang is just soft-hearted and doesn't want to care about that little gain or loss."

"When faced with a serious matter, he is absolutely capable of taking ruthless action."

Having said this, Ju Ye hesitated for a moment and then continued.

"Brother Min, have you and your sister-in-law been pampering Xiaojie a little too much recently?"

"Although in the end, you will hand over your family fortune to Xiaohang."

"But you must know about the two sons of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Chengqian and Li Tai."

"If Xiaojie has other ideas in the end, he will only bring about his own destruction. Xiaojie cannot defeat Xiaohang."

"Now that we've come to this, I'll tell you everything."

"Xiaohang inherited the bloodline, but Xiaojie didn't."

"The old ancestors in my hometown only recognize Xiaohang."

"Look at the way the Eleventh Ancestor treats Xiao Hang, and then look at the way he treats Xiao Jie."

"It's a world of difference. Let me tell you a few more words."

"In our hearts, Xiaohang is the only one of our kind."

"We can hand over all our assets to Xiaohang without reservation, but we won't hand them over to our own son."

After saying this, Ju Ye stared at the old man.

"Whether you feel you owe Xiaojie or want to make it up to him."

"But everything has to be done in moderation. If you exceed that limit, it will easily make others think of you." ~
