I am the leader of the capital

Feeling very curious, Yun Musheng walked in and looked in front of the bronze sculpture. Yun Musheng said to the shopkeeper, "What is this? It's so strange."

Seeing that Yun Musheng was interested in the sculpture, the down-and-out literati man immediately walked over from Han Di's mansion and explained to Yun Musheng: "Guest guest has good eyesight, this is an ancient object more than 1000 years old. Look, look at how perfect the composition is, look at the craftsmanship of the craftsman, look at the eyes of this big snake, as if it can talk, isn't it lifelike?"

"It's really good." Yun Musheng nodded.

The literati's eyes lit up immediately, and people in the antique business naturally have good eyesight. Yun Musheng's clothes can still be seen as noble or humble. Obviously he is a good owner of money. If he can lose money for many years by throwing this It would be good if the sculpture was sold, so he tentatively asked, "Do you want to take it back for collection, young master?"

"How much is it?" Yun Musheng blew the dust off the sculpture. This big snake sculpture with wings has been sitting in this corner for an unknown amount of time.

The down-and-out man looked at Yun Musheng's appearance and clothes again, gritted his teeth and said, "The price is 300 taels of silver."

"Tch, you're lying to a fool."

Yun Musheng smiled disdainfully, turned his head to look around blindly, and stopped looking at the sculpture.

The down-and-out shopkeeper named Xiao Gongzhu was in a hurry. He really suffered a big loss when he bought this sculpture. The sculpture was a treasure dug out of the grave. Xiao Gongzhu was fascinated the moment he saw it. The form of this sculpture is too perfect.

But at that time, I only focused on the structure and materials, and forgot that this weird shape did not meet the aesthetics of most people, so it has not been sold so far. The person who sold it to me was very happy to accept the one he handed over. 50 taels, but I still felt that I had picked up a bargain and thought that person was a fool, so I sold such a good thing for 50 taels, but I didn’t expect that I was the fool.

In the past few years of sales, Xiao Gongzhu has gradually discovered that this evil thing is not profitable, and it is not even realistic to save capital. Many customers have bluntly said that this long and weird thing is not willing to keep it at home without giving it away for free.

Seeing Yun Musheng's gorgeous clothes today, that's why he dared to raise the price. Looking at Yun Musheng's expression, Xiao Gongzhu felt that he had miscalculated. This young man is indeed rich, but he is not stupid.

Xiao Gongzhu failed to sell for so many years, so gradually he was no longer ready to make money, thinking that it would be fine to deal with a little money, even if it was a small loss, so he chased Yun Musheng and asked Said: "Then what price do you think you can take away, guest officer?"

The young man stretched out two fingers, "No one will buy your thing at all. Look at the shape and posture, who is willing to put this in the house? 20 taels, if you want to sell it, I will take it away, if you don't want to sell it, let it go."

"Young master, your price is too inappropriate. You are also a wealthy family. You know the price of this material and workmanship." Xiao Gongzhu swallowed dryly.

Yun Musheng reached out and picked up an inkstone to play with, and said to Xiao Gong who was close to him: "You are right, if you put aside the meaning, it is indeed not a cheap thing, but look, this sculpture expresses What is it? I was targeted by a poisonous snake, who wants this? If I don’t think it’s a good workmanship, you don’t want it for free.”

"Here, a little more, how about a little more? I won't hide it from you, my lord. To be honest, I bought it for 50 taels, which is considered a loss, but for a small business, a loss of 30 taels is still too much." After finishing speaking The downcast man stretched out four fingers.

Seeing that Xiao Gongzhu's expression did not seem to be fake, the boy in white squinted his eyes and said, "40 taels?"

The desolate scribe nodded hurriedly, and said with bitterness on his face: "Yes, I lost twelve taels of my book, and I lost it before eating. Ten taels of silver is ten thousand pennies, and my meal is only a few pennies. Even if it is Twenty Wen a day, two hundred Wen in ten days, and two thousand Wen in a hundred days is two taels, and the money lost is enough to feed me for a year."

"How much you lose is up to you, it means you have bad vision, but if he is worth 20 taels and I pay 40 taels, that means I lost money." The boy shook his head.

The scribe reached out and took the small bell that Han Di's mansion liked, and hung it on the big snake, "This bell is for you, what do you think, my lord?"

Yun Musheng took a look, and finally his eyes stopped on a hollow gourd. He reached out and took a look. The gourd was not a real gourd, but a jade gourd. The boy held the gourd and said to the shopkeeper: "In addition to this Gourds, a total of 40 taels, I will take them if you like, and forget it if you don’t.”

"My lord, this is really..." Xiao Gong shook his head in embarrassment.

The young man in white shook his head, and weighed the small gourd in his hand twice, "40 taels, you'd better think about it, if you lose, you lose a little, but at least you have the money in your hands, or else you sell these things in your hands If you don’t go out, wouldn’t that mean that the money is in vain? If you are willing to sell it, at least it will be in vain.”

The store owner named Xiao Gongzhu frowned, obviously having a hard time making a choice, Yun Yusheng couldn't help but smiled and said: "You are an interesting person, take a look at what you sell, gourds mean blessings , your gourd is empty, which means that you can't keep Fulu, you are just buying some money that no one wants."

Xiao Gongzhu's face turned pale immediately, or someone Yun Musheng said that he still hasn't figured out why this jade gourd is so beautiful but no one wants to buy it, so it seems that he bought another money-losing product, which is rare to meet Seeing that such a person who doesn't mind is willing to spend money to buy it, the man reluctantly said: "OK, OK, you filled in two more things, 45 taels, it's really not expensive."

Yun Musheng turned his head and left. Xiao Gongzhu, the shopkeeper of Gongzhu Antique Shop, hurriedly trotted to grab Yun Musheng, and said repeatedly: "OK, OK, 40 taels, just 40 taels."

The boy took out a 100 tael bank note from his pocket. The shopkeeper shook his head in embarrassment when he saw it, "I can't find this, and I don't have time to go to the bank to change it."

"How about this, you send this thing to Shuiyuntian at night, and I'm going to pay you in cash."

The shopkeeper of the antique shop was stunned for a moment, a little afraid to confirm: "Are you Mr. Yun?"

Yun Musheng nodded and was about to leave when the shopkeeper stopped him, "Wait a minute, I heard that Mr. Yun has a lot of money, and I have some good things to show Mr. Yun. They are stored here by others, but I haven't found a suitable buyer for any of them, and I dare not take them out easily."

"What?" Yun Musheng was a little curious.

But the shopkeeper wanted to close the door, Yun Musheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there are my friends at the door, if the secret of your thing is leaked, I will be responsible."

Xiao Gongzhu hesitated for a while, looked at Yun Musheng before nodding heavily, then stretched out his hand to lift the table a little, took out the irregular wooden block from under the table legs, and broke it apart forcefully to reveal the The small ball out of it was handed to Yun Musheng.

Yun Musheng smiled as he took the small ball, "You hide it very casually, no ghost can find it."

"It's dark under the lamp, I'm not strong enough, so I have to be cautious, and I've made you laugh." Xiao Gongzhu smiled a little embarrassedly.

After Yun Musheng took the little round bead into his hand, he roughly looked at it and found nothing abnormal, Xiao Gongzhu reminded: "My lord, try to inject a little bit of your internal energy."

The young man in white was a little cautious. Although the small black ball in his hand looked ordinary, it was heavy in his hand, and it seemed to be a living thing. After thinking twice, he injected a little breath into it. .

The ball in Yun Musheng's hand changed color slightly in the eyes of the few people who approached. Just when everyone wanted to see what it was, Yun Musheng suddenly stopped and continued to inject internal force into it. It changed back to the original Heibuliuqiu's ordinary appearance.

"How much?"

Xiao Gongzhu licked his lips, "I don't know what this is, so I don't dare to ask for too high a price, 10 taels."

Yun Musheng was straightforward this time, without any objection, nodded and said: "Okay, but I don't have so much money with me, so you can take the money together when you send things over tonight."

Gong Zhu, the shopkeeper of the antique shop, cupped his fists and said, "Young Master Yun is a straightforward person."

"Here, bring it to me at night." Yun Musheng stretched out his hand to pass the ball over, but was stopped by a man who looked like a down-and-out literati, "Young Master Yun, take it first, I can trust you as a man, I will give something tonight When it’s time, go directly to get the money.”

Yun Musheng nodded, said nothing more, stretched out his hands and cupped his fists and said goodbye.

After a group of people walked out of the shop, Li Yu came up to him and said, "Hey, Mu Sheng, what the hell is this?"

"You'll know if you inject your internal energy into it yourself." The boy in white shook his head, and passed the thing over, but Li Yu injected a lot of internal energy into it after taking it, but the black ball, which was about the size of a pigeon egg, was Nothing changes.

"What's going on?" After taking it back, Yun Musheng injected his internal force again, perhaps because he had just touched it, so the color of the ball changed slightly, but it was very faint.

Several people took turns to fight, but none of them had the ability to make the black ball respond again, even Yun Musheng's own hands did not have any effect, Zhao Hongda frowned and said: "Could it be that he was tricked by the shopkeeper?" Bar?"

Yun Musheng shook his head, and said: "Probably not. I just found out that the breath inside is very strange after I got started. I feel that it should be an egg, and something may have hatched inside, but I feel The thing inside may have died a long time ago, it is a dead fetus."

"What is that? Do you want to break it open and have a look?" Jin Dingfa did things simply and straightforwardly.

There was no one on Zhanghua Road at noon, Yun Musheng shook his head, "I'll take it back and see, maybe something can really hatch."

"No matter how you look at it, this is not a normal thing. Could it be dangerous?" Han Di's mansion dug the little black ball out of Mr. Yun's palm, and looked at it against the sun, but the black ball had no light at all. well.

Yun Musheng looked around, "Let's talk about it when the time comes, put it in the cast iron shop, throw it into the molten iron if it is in danger, I don't believe it can't be scalded to death."

After they had eaten and drank enough, Li Yu asked Yun Musheng, "Didn't you say you were going to the Qi'an Temple to find someone? Why did you go east?"

Yun Musheng, who was throwing the ball in his hand, pointed in the direction, "There is a family there who owes me 1000 taels. I'm going to ask for the debt. By the way, let's see how his house is. Is it worth it?" purchase."

"You want to set up a family business here?" Zhao Hongda asked as he walked under the willow tree, looking at the boat gently swaying on the lake.

Yun Musheng nodded, "It's inconvenient to just have one place to live, and the house over there is a bit small. There are only four rooms in total. It's almost a place for a temporary rest. Otherwise, there is nowhere to live for any friends."
