big master, big liar

Ever since Song Xuan and Fang Qiutang brought up the affair, Fang Qiutang has never been safe. Although he doesn't show it on the surface, he spends all day looking around, trying his best to give that Ji Ni a blow.

Song Xuan was not affected, he should eat and play.Call Ji Yunxi if you have nothing to do, either go out to see flowers and listen to music, or go out to eat hazelnuts.

He also asked about the location of Fang Qiutang's pawn shop, and only took Ji Yunxi to wander around the area twice, but he couldn't figure it out, and he enjoyed eating the nearby snacks.

In the end, I left a bag of snacks, another bag of pine nuts, and brought back a basket of oranges.

Knowing that he went to the spot, but not knowing that he thought he was going to the market.

Fang Qiutang also talked to Song Xuan about the news he had just found out: "I heard that the shopkeeper in the pawn shop is from Sifang City, and was specially transferred by Ji Ni. He has been in this business for more than ten years, and he has never looked past him."

Song Xuan occupied Fang Qiutang's rocking chair early on, and peeled oranges while shaking on it: "Master from Sifang City? These people's eyes are very poisonous, Qiutang, you have worked hard this time."

Fang Qiutang glanced at him with those slender fox eyes: "Try making sarcastic remarks again?"

"What's the rush?" Song Xuan slowly handed the orange to Ji Yunxi. "I didn't say no to doing it, it's not like I haven't thought of an idea for a while."

After finishing speaking, he asked Ji Yunxi again: "Is it sweet?"

Ji Yunxi nodded: "Sweet."

Song Xuan gave him all the remaining oranges: "Then eat more."

Fang Qiutang saw the leisurely look of the two of them, and couldn't help but sneer: "You should be calm now, don't turn over the water and let someone catch you."

Song Xuan said with a smile: "Flip the water? In my case, these two words do not exist."

Fang Qiutang said: "Don't underestimate him. It's not like you haven't been exposed to Ji Nitre before. You're full of bad water."

Song Xuan was still peeling the second orange for Ji Yunxi: "Didn't you teach that? He looks quite obedient."

"Bah, he's like gold and jade, but he's a loser." Fang Qiutang continued to scold.

Song Xuan said: "That's what you taught..."

"Wait." Song Xuan stopped suddenly: "What did you just say?"

"I said that guy Ji Ni is full of bad water." Fang Qiutang didn't understand why.

Song Xuan said, "Next sentence?"

"Gold and jade are in the outside, and they are ruined in it."

Song Xuan laughed: "Come on, I have an idea."

He stuffed the half-peeled orange into Ji Yunxi's hand: "Peel the rest yourself."

Then they strode away, leaving only Fang Qiutang and Ji Yunxi looking at each other in the hall.

Fang Qiutang pushed the lens and asked Ji Yunxi, "What's his idea?"

Ji Yunxi put the remaining oranges into his sleeves, with a mask-like smirk on his face: "You old friend can't even guess it, how would I know?"

After finishing speaking, he also walked in the direction Song Xuan left.

"What's the matter?" Only Fang Qiutang was left with a bewildered expression, and he also took an orange from the box and ate it. As soon as he ate a petal, he couldn't help but click his tongue. "very sour."

Song Xuan didn't wear Taoist robes today.

He was wearing a purple satin dress embroidered with flowers and birds, carrying a folding fan in his hand, and he was dressed like a young man.

The material of Ji Yunxi's clothes is better than his, it is light blue brocade, with a layer of Sichuan gauze robe with pinched silver teeth wrapped around it, at first glance it looks like a young master from a wealthy family.

Song Xuan's clothes were borrowed from Fang Qiutang, the material was of the best quality, but it was a bit old, the corners were a little fuzzy, and even the vivid embroidery was a bit dull.

Instead of the jade pendant on his body, there is only an ordinary sachet hanging on his body. The hairpin on his head is made of jade, but there is a circle of plum blossom pattern tied in silver in the middle, which makes people wonder if it is broken. Attached with silver.

Ji Yunxi's body was her own, she just found someone to make it a bit worn, so that she looked glamorous.

Such a dress can easily remind people of their fate.

In fact, shopkeeper Du made a preliminary judgment in his heart the moment the two people walked in.

The children of the rich family, whose family fortune is in decline, most of them have good products and can lower the prices.

The moment Song Xuan walked in, he also had a judgment on Shopkeeper Du.

Today's game can be done.

Shopkeeper Du looked like a veteran.

But Song Xuan is not afraid of such people the most.

Holding a box in his hand, Song Xuan walked in hesitantly. After a while, he came to the front of the counter and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, my item...you can make a price."

As he spoke, he took out the contents of the box.

Even Shopkeeper Du, who is well-informed, was dazzled: "This is——"

This is a golden Buddha, about half the length of a human arm, golden and full of wealth.

Song Xuan said: "This is something left in the bottom of the box at home. It is said that it is cast from pure gold. You can make a price based on it."

Shopkeeper Du narrowed his eyes: "You mean, this Buddha statue is solid?"

Song Xuan nodded: "You are an expert, you will know it after a while."

Shopkeeper Du is indeed well-informed, and stroked his beard: "Young master, if your thing is real, it is indeed worth a lot, but we still have to confirm—"

"I understand the rules." Song Xuan nodded, showing a slightly embarrassed smile. "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Only then did shopkeeper Du bring the golden Buddha up for sale. It was rare to have such a big business, and several apprentices in the store also moved closer to take a closer look.

This golden Buddha looks astonishing, but upon closer inspection, it seems that it has been around for a long time, and it is not as glamorous as the newly cast one.

Over there, Song Xuan took Ji Yunxi to look at the calligraphy and paintings in the store, and said that this was from everyone, that the brushwork was vigorous, and that the calligraphy and painting were very similar to the ones at home.

It does look like a loser.

As soon as shopkeeper Du came back to his senses, he heard an apprentice exclaim in a low voice: "Master, look, what is this?"

Shopkeeper Du took a closer look, and the apprentice was pointing at a touch of emerald green under the earlobe of the Buddha statue.

The emerald color is hidden in the corner of the earlobe. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it. It should be that the gold on it has been scratched, exposing the material inside.

"Master, this is not pure gold, he lied to us!" an apprentice whispered.

Shopkeeper Na Du remained silent for a moment, signaling the apprentices to keep silent.

He picked up the crystal mirror with a wooden handle, took tools, fumbled around there, and got a lot of gold powder, and the shiny emerald green became bigger, magnified under the crystal lens Incomparably clear.

Now even the apprentices could see it.

Here is jade, and it is still the best jade.

The apprentice couldn't help but said: "What... what's going on? How can there be gold plating on the outside of the jade?"

Jade is much more valuable than gold, especially such Buddha statues. No matter how big a gold Buddha is cast, it is nothing but wealth, but a Buddha carved out of such a large piece of jade is truly rare.

A shrewd light flashed in Du shopkeeper's eyes, but he only said in a low voice: "You weigh, and don't say a word if it's unnecessary."

All the apprentices had no choice but to keep silent, and carefully carried the golden Buddha to be weighed.

Song Xuan asked cautiously: "How about the shopkeeper, how much money can this Buddha be worth?"

"There's no rush, wait until they weigh you." Shopkeeper Du stroked his beard and smiled lightly. "Such a big golden Buddha is rare."

"That's not it, this is what my parents have always enshrined, if it wasn't for..." Song Xuan swallowed half a sentence and went back. "Thinking about it now, it's really unfilial."

Shopkeeper Du squinted his eyes: "Your father is also a caring person who can use such a large amount of gold to make Buddha statues."

"Who says it's not," Song Xuan smiled wryly. "When my parents were there, they told me repeatedly to keep it as a family heirloom. But no matter how valuable gold is, it is still worth less than people."

As he said that, Song Xuan sighed and stared at Ji Yunxi: "I only hope to make a close relationship with my brother, which is incomparable to any gold or silver Buddha."

Ji Yunxi originally came to see him, and he didn't arrange any role for him, so he kept a cold face and let Song Xuan talk.

"What you said is, the young master is really clear-headed." Shopkeeper Du knew it in his heart, so he stopped hesitating and turned his head to ask the apprentice: "Have you weighed it?"

The apprentice nodded, his eyes seemed to be hesitant.

They knew that there was a more precious Jade Buddha wrapped in it, but their shopkeeper didn't seem to intend to tell the brothers about it.

"My lord, this golden Buddha of yours is quite heavy, but after a long time, I'm afraid it will cost some silver. Do you want to live or die?"

"This..." Song Xuan hesitated. "How much is life, and how much is death?"

"If you are alive, I can give you 400 taels, and if you are dead, then 700 taels." Shopkeeper Du calculated the cost of marrying a wife for a wealthy family, and offered a price that Song Xuan could hardly refuse.

Sure enough, Song Xuan's expression suddenly became hesitant: "This... the shopkeeper, why don't I ask someone to look at it again, the things of the elders, after all, are..."

Shopkeeper Du's expression was indifferent: "Young master, let me tell you the truth, if your fine gold is melted in a gold shop, it will cost 400 taels. I see that the craftsmanship of this golden Buddha casting is good. The young master is a bit filial, and it is a happy event, so I will give you such a price."

Song Xuan's expression became even more hesitant.

Shopkeeper Du said: "I'm here to say, live or die, it just depends on the son's opinion. If you don't like it, just ask another one. Just come back when the time comes. My price is not the same here."

This continuous fight and fight really convinced Song Xuan that he refused to leave. After dawdling for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Add another 100 taels, if you add another 100 taels to me, I will die."

Shopkeeper Du shook his head: "My lord, we run a pawnshop, not a charity. Your Golden Buddha is only 700 taels if it reaches the sky."

Song Xuan hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded.

Shopkeeper Du pawned a check for him, and paid the bank note. Song Xuan took the bank note, pulled Ji Yunxi, and walked out step by step.

That shopkeeper Du thought he had picked up a huge bargain, watched Song Xuan go out, and hurriedly ordered the apprentices to wash the golden Buddha, and said in his mouth: "Be careful, don't hurt the jade, it's just knocked." Even a corner, you can't afford to pay."

Some apprentices said: "These rich people are also strange, how can they use gold to cover jade?"

Shopkeeper Du didn't even look at him: "What do you know? Look at the fineness of this jade. It's such a big piece, but it can be compared to the palace. Who dares to put it in his home openly? No one will bring trouble to himself." .”

Shopkeeper Du even had a feeling that it might be some kind of relic from the previous dynasty, or a valuable thing dug out of the tomb, so it had to be wrapped tightly in gold, so as not to be seen by others, but it was to be passed down as a family heirloom.

But shopkeeper Du's dream is only half realized.

Suddenly a person walked in from outside the door, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, what did those brothers do with you just now?"

Shopkeeper Du looked nervous: "Who are you? Why are you asking?"

The man said in a low voice, "You weren't from Hengyang before, right? I'm here to remind you kindly. Those two brothers are a pair of cheaters in our city. Many people have been cheated by them. I can't bear to see you In case of disaster, I came here to remind you.”

Before shopkeeper Du had time to think about this sentence, he suddenly heard the apprentice shouting from behind: "Too bad, master, we were fooled." #####That...so hungry.

Lonely enough to talk to myself.

Caring for empty-nester authors starts with me.
