Brother You took the painting and came to the door of the largest pawnshop in Beijing. Standing at the door, Brother You hesitated for a while, and finally walked in.
The shopkeeper in the pawnshop was an old man about fifty years old, who seemed to be shrewd.
The shopkeeper's surname is Chen, his eyes are very sharp, and he can roughly know the identity of the other party with a glance. This will only take a look at Brother You, and know that this must be the child of a rich family.
Shopkeeper Chen asked blankly: "I don't know what the guest officer is going to be?" So small as a pawnshop, I'm afraid the family has already fallen.
When Brother You heard this, he took off the three-ring Fulu and Longevity jade pendant hanging from his waist and handed it over from the counter: "Be this jade pendant."
Shopkeeper Chen took it with both hands and looked carefully, the workmanship was exquisite, and it was made of suet jade.
Putting down the jade pendant gently, the shopkeeper Chen asked, "Is it a good friend or a good one?"
"Being alive." Brother You asked about the pawnshop's rules before coming here, and naturally knew that death should be more money, but life should be less. But he originally needed a sum of money to turn around, so he didn't plan to die.
Shopkeeper Chen said, "How long will it last?"
Brother You weighed it up and said, "Half a year." In half a year, he should have money to come back and redeem it.
"Two hundred taels of silver, shouldn't it be appropriate?" The voice was as peaceful as ever.
Brother You almost jumped up when he heard this, "What did you say? Two hundred taels of silver? This is made of mutton jade, and it is made in-house. How could it be worth only two hundred taels of silver?"
Shopkeeper Chen's expression did not fluctuate, and he said: "If you die, you can be five hundred taels of silver."
I heard that the pawnshop was very dark before, but now Brother You knows it well. Such a piece of jade pendant, both in workmanship and in materials, starts at a thousand tael in the jewelry shop.
Brother You endured the fire and said, "Being decent, five hundred taels."
Shopkeeper Chen did not refuse, but only said: "Three hundred taels." When he arrived at the pawnshop, he was naturally desperate to keep the price down.
Brother You felt that he had suffered a big loss: "Five hundred taels, just be it if you are willing to give it, and forget it if you don't want to." It's a big deal to borrow money again. Losing face is better than being slaughtered.
Shopkeeper Chen looks at people the most, and when you see Brother You's look, you know what he is thinking: "Okay, five hundred taels."
After finishing talking, shopkeeper Chen took and said: "Three cents per month, 90 taels for half a year, and I will give you four hundred and twelve silvers."
Brother You is still very good at learning. After listening to Shopkeeper Chen's words, he immediately called out, "Why don't you grab 36% of the interest a year?"
Shopkeeper Chen took another look at Brother You, who is not ignorant: "Everyone who has been to a pawn shop knows that this is the rule of a pawn shop."
Brother You wanted to leave, but he finally put up with it after thinking about the business that won't lose money.
He took the painting out of the box and handed it over, and said, "This is Li Sixun's "Jiangfan Tower". It is worth five thousand taels."
Shopkeeper Chen was not familiar with the calligraphy and painting, so he took it over and read it and said, "Come on, please come and sit inside!" Generally, only major clients are eligible to enter the room for negotiation.
The young man came over and asked Brother You to go to the private room. This small private room is very elegantly furnished, with tea and cakes inside.
Brother You took a bite and then vomited: "This is too unpalatable."
Xiao Si said unceremoniously: "Objectively, this is the pastry of Piaoxiangju, we just bought it." The pastry made by Piaoxiangju is still very famous in Beijing.
"How about Piaoxiangju? It's far worse than the pastry chef of my house!" In fact, the taste of this pastry is still very good, but compared with the top chefs in the palace, it is naturally much worse. Not only the cooking skills, but also the materials.
Xiao Si didn't dare to reply, but he despised Brother You in his heart. Even if the pastries made by a chef in your house taste superb, that's what happened in the past. Now I have not settled to live as a thing, so I am still dragging something.
From the perspective of normal people, if it weren't for being unable to live on, they wouldn't be a pawnshop.
After a while, the shopkeeper Chen took the painting into the box and said, "Guest officer, we can only give one thousand taels of silver for this painting."
Brother You said with a cold face: "Li Sixun doesn't have many surviving works, and this "Picture of Jiangfan Tower" is one of the masterpieces. One thousand taels, you dare to speak too."
Shopkeeper Chen was a little frightened, but it didn't show on the face: "Young Master Han, the pawnshop has the rules of a pawnshop." The main reason is that they have not been able to confirm the authenticity of this thing for the time being, and they know the details of Brother You, so they deliberately Prices are extremely low
Brother You was reluctant to talk nonsense, and took the painting from the shopkeeper Chen: "If you don't want to do this business, just say it straight. It's a waste of my time."
The shopkeeper does not want to lose this business: "If there is an insurer, the price can be negotiated." Of course, the insurer must have an identity and status. In this way, if something goes wrong, they can go to the guarantor.
Putting the painting away, Brother Youer said with a black face, "By the way, I am wrong with that jade pendant, return it to me."
Although the shopkeeper was a pity for such a deal, he didn't even dare to take the risk: "Okay."
Brother You picked up things and left angrily. Because he was walking too fast, he ran into a person at the door. The man was knocked back two steps.
Brother You'er said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I went too eagerly to see you."
The visitor saw Brother You'er face surprised, but this expression flashed by: "It's okay."
After speaking, the visitor glanced at the box on Brother You's back and asked with a smile: "Since the young man came to the pawnshop, why didn't he make things right?"
"They can't afford it!" Such an expensive painting even opened up a thousand taels of silver, treating him as a fool.
The person came and said with a smile: "I am the big shopkeeper of this pawnshop. If you don't mind, you can go in with me. As long as the things are good, the price is easy to say."
Brother You gave him a suspicious look, but he glanced at Ah San next to him, not afraid of him cheating, "Yes."
When the shopkeeper Chen saw Tong Ge, he was a little surprised: "The boss..." Here, the boss is sometimes called the big shopkeeper. When Brother You heard this name, he knew that this person had not lied to himself.
Tong Chrome said with a smile; "This little boy said he wanted to be something, but our pawnshop couldn't afford the price. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Shopkeeper Chen gave a rough overview of what happened.
Tong Chrome smiled and said, "Little son, can you show me the painting?"
Brother You hesitated and handed the painting to him: "Take it carefully, don't knock it!" He still loves his things very much.
Tong Ge took the painting into the room, and then the shopkeeper Chen followed. As soon as the door was closed, the shopkeeper Chen expressed his concerns: "My boss, the two gentlemen are not sure whether this painting is true or false." The main reason is that there are too many fake paintings. In case it is fake, five thousand taels of silver. But it was hit by water.
Tong Ge gently placed the painting on the table next to him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this painting must be real?"
I didn't even look at it, but I knew it was true. The shopkeeper Chen was also a smart, and asked quickly: "Does the boss know this little boy?"
Tong Ge nodded and said with a smile: "According to the price he said."
Shopkeeper Chen hesitated: "My boss, what if this is a fake? Five thousand taels is not a small amount!" Five thousand taels is almost four months' income from the pawnshop.
This pawnshop Tong Ji and his brother accounted for 40% of the shares, and the other 60% belonged to Uncle Anyang. And shopkeeper Chen is from Anyang Bofu.
"It won't be fake." Seeing shopkeeper Chen looking at him, Tong Chrome smiled and said: "This Young Master Han is actually the Fourth Royal Highness. Although I don't know why he came to be a thing, but what he took out It certainly won't be fake."
Shopkeeper Chen opened his mouth, and after a while said, "Should I tell uncle this matter?"
"Let's tell! When the Queen Empress asks, my uncle won't be confused." These four Highnesses were really troublesome, and they dared to draw them out of the palace. I don't know what happens when the emperor and the queen know.
After a pause, Tong Ge said: "Keep this painting well, don't make any mistakes. I'm not sure, someone will come to pick up this painting soon."
Shopkeeper Chen knew the identity of Brother You, so he dared to disagree, and said hurriedly: "Okay." You know, the young master is still the companion of this young ancestor!
After getting the money, Brother You took A San and ran away. When he reached the corner, Brother You stared at Asan and said, "You are not allowed to tell me about this." Brother You did business, and Yuxi refused to let Xu Chengze and Ning Zhan follow him, but instead found him for Asan next to him. Follow without leaving.
Asan smiled and said, "Don't worry, little son, I won't say anything about this." The smile was unspeakably shy. It seems very harmless. It was because of the deceitfulness outside, and the skill of this man, that Yun Qing chose him to follow Brother You.
"But I'm afraid that if you don't tell me, my mother will know soon." But, even if he was scolded, he didn't regret it. As long as the business is completed, the money owed will be paid off soon.
After lunch, Yuxi knew that Brother You took the painting and went to the pawnshop in exchange for money.
Yu Zhi said: "My Royal Highness didn't know who knew a jade dealer named Qian through whom he bought a batch of rough stones a few days ago."
Yun Qing just walked in from outside and asked with a dark face when he heard these words: "You mean Brother You went to bet on rocks?" If this stinky guy dared to bet on rocks, come back and kill him.
Yuxi's expression was also a little solemn.
Yu Zhi shook his head and said, "This batch of imported rough stones was partially untied when they were transported to the capital. His Royal Highness wanted to buy this unraveled jade." Although the original stone and jade are not the same word, they have no meaning at all. Same.
Yuxi's brows stretched out: "This kid is raising money everywhere. It seems that he wants to make a fortune while the New Year is approaching."
Yu Zhi nodded: "Yes, it will be the twelfth lunar month soon. His Royal Highness thinks that there will be many people buying jewelry. His Royal Highness wants to seize this business opportunity, so he plans to buy this batch of jade and go back to make jewelry." Brother Youyou also invited two jade masters. Take advantage of this time to make more jade jewelry and sell it at a good price in the twelfth lunar month.
Hearing that he was buying jade, not betting on stones, Yun Qing's expression eased.
Yuxi asked, "How about this vendor with the surname Qian?"
Yu Zhi said: "I sent someone to check. This vendor named Qian Xiao has been in the jade business for many years, and his reputation is still very good."
Yuxi asked Yu Zhi to investigate this person thoroughly.
Yu Zhi nodded and said, "I have sent someone to investigate, but it will take a while."
After Yu Zhi went down, Yun Qing asked, "Do you think this person has a problem?" Otherwise, Yuxi wouldn't let a thorough investigation.
Yuxi nodded and said, "Brother You are not a person who listens to wind or rain, so he can use things at home to be able to make money."
"You said Brother You took things from the house? What's the matter?" Yun Qing's face turned dark again when he heard a painting taken away: "I can't say Brother You will go into business. How long have I dared to steal things from my family as money. This world has grown, and I don’t know how."
Yuxi smiled and said, "This person with the surname Qian can encourage You brother to take things from the house. It can be seen that he is a deep-minded and scheming man. In the hands of such a person, Brother You will not lose money." , After all, I have no experience when I am young, and I don't know the sinister heart.
Yun Qing believes in Yuxi's judgment: "When we find out that he has a real problem, we will arrest him at that time." He was really impatient to even dare to count his son.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "As long as Brother You'er's life is not endangered, we will not interfere with anything else."
Yun Qing asked hesitantly, "Looking at Brother You being deceived?"
"This child is too confident and too proud to make him frustrated. Otherwise, he really thinks he is the second smartest person in the world." In Brother You's mind, the first smart person is Qihao.
It was precisely because she knew Yoo's shortcomings that she agreed to Yoo's going to do business outside. Which one of these businessmen is not shrewd and cunning. Although Brother You is smart, he has little experience, so what is the opponent of these people.
Yun Qing actually realized that Brother You was very confident, but he didn't think much about it.
"There are some outsiders and there are outsiders, and if you are too self-confident, you will definitely suffer. Rather than suffer losses in the future, it is better to let him suffer now." At least if they watched, they won't really suffer.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing didn't say anymore to tell Brother You not to do business.
In addition to serving as calligraphy and paintings and jade pendants, Brother You also took the items in the shop and the shop as collateral, and together they raised a total of six thousand taels of silver.
On the way to find Qian Xiao, Asan reminded: "Master, you are too risky to do this." Asan's job is to protect Brother You, and other things are not within his scope of authority. However, following Brother You'er for so long, watching him work hard for business matters, he reminded him if he couldn't bear it. Although Qian Xiao was not suspicious, but this person didn't know the identity of His Highness, how could he give money to His Highness for no reason.
Brother You said: "How can you take a risk? I am not the original stone I bought. I only make a profit if I buy this batch of jade back."
The authorities are fans, the bystanders are clear, there is no good thing to lose pie in this sky. It's just that the little majesty was fooled by the surname Qian, San knew that it was useless to say anything, and simply stopped talking.
ps: There was a power outage in the morning, so the second one will be late, so let's watch it tomorrow!
