He scratched his head, talked about something else, and didn't respond to the shopkeeper's previous words. He laughed twice, wanting to wait until the awkward atmosphere on the scene eased a little before arguing with the shopkeeper. The amber in his hand today would never be sold for less than 50 and no less than 60.

When he turned around, he saw Liu Ping'an and Chen Xueru who came into Rongbaozhai. He was amazed by Chen Xueru's perfect figure, beautiful face and exquisite dress. He didn't expect that there was such a beautiful woman in this city. She was no worse than the top girls in the eight alleys. If he could marry her, he would be willing to live 20 years less in this life.

Unfortunately, after the Great Man's order to wipe out the Red Mansion business in the city and even the whole country, he had not been to the Eight Great Hutongs for a long time. Although there are still many secret doors in the Eight Great Hutongs now, the quality, atmosphere and environment are not as good as the Red Mansions in the past, which really makes him lose interest.

But after thinking about his current worth and situation, he decided to forget it. My family used to be wealthy, so I don't have any other skills, but I am very good at reading people's expressions. Even now, he can still dress so exquisitely, with a cheongsam made of the finest silk. Even when my mother was alive more than ten years ago, my family didn't dare to make such a thing.

This city may not be very big, but it has many dignitaries, from the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, the Japanese, Chiang Kai-shek, and now it has been designated as the new capital by our military government. If you walk on the Second Ring Road in this city and throw a brick, you might hit a big shot that you can't afford to offend, and you won't know how you died.

At first glance, this beautiful woman was someone he couldn't afford to offend. He quickly collected his thoughts and thought that he could just think about these things in his heart. Then he was attracted by the eyes of the man next to him. The young man who came with the cheongsam beauty was staring at the amber the size of a baby's fist in his hand, ignoring the beauty next to him, as if he was going to snatch it away and take it for himself the next moment.

It's true that when things get dark in the east, they get bright in the west. Shopkeeper Zhuang, you don't care about my treasure, Bai Jingyu, but there are others who do. This opportunity has come, and I gave up the idea of ​​arguing with Shopkeeper Zhuang for a while. When the young couple comes over, I will sell my treasure to them. I believe I can sell it at a price that satisfies me.

At this time, the shopkeeper also saw the empty-handed young couple and knew they were here to buy something. From the first glance at their clothing and spirit, he knew that there was another business today, and it was a business with plenty of money.

Anyone who can become the shopkeeper of Rongbaozhai must have such a good eye.

He didn't want to continue arguing with Bai Jingyu at this moment. If it weren't for the fact that he and his father were old acquaintances, he would have driven him away long ago. Although the amber in Bai Jingyu's hand was also a collectible, it was still relatively unpopular. It was rare to see a piece as big as a baby's fist, but amber required three things: transparency, the contents, and the color. The piece in his hand really didn't dare to make people applaud.

Then he left the counter and walked towards Liu Ping'an and Chen Xueru. He first clasped his fists and greeted them. Then he began to take care of the business in his shop and said, "Two customers, is there anything you want to buy? If not, just take a look around. If you see anything you like, just let me know. Although the things in our shop are more expensive, they are all clearly marked with prices. We are fair to everyone."

Chen Xueru heard this and wanted to pull Liu Pingan around the store. She pulled once but it didn't move, and then she pulled again, but still no response. Following Liu Pingan's gaze, she realized that her little man was attracted by the thing he had just argued with the boss about pawning.

It was not until she blocked Liu Ping'an's view with her hand that he came to his senses.

He pushed Liu Ping'an's shoulder and said, "You are so fascinated by it. If you like it, why don't you just buy it?"

Bai Jingyu was delighted when he heard this, and immediately stepped forward to recommend the treasure in his hand to Liu Ping'an. He spoke nice words without paying, saying whatever sounded good.

Liu Pingan did not respond to his words, but looked at the shopkeeper of Rongbaozhai standing next to him and said, "What's the shopkeeper's name?"

"My last name is Zhuang, you can call me Shopkeeper Zhuang or Manager Zhuang."

Then Liu Pingan pointed at the amber in Bai Jingyu's hand and said, "I really like the item in this friend's hand, but I don't know how the deal between Shopkeeper Zhuang and this friend went?"

"If the deal has been concluded, I will buy the amber from Shopkeeper Zhuang later. If the deal has not been concluded, I can only wait until my wife leaves Rongbaozhai before I can talk to this friend."

Bai Jingyu immediately became anxious after hearing Liu Ping'an's words, and he even played the emotional card and said, "Uncle Zhuang, you watched me grow up, and I think this guest really likes this item of mine. You can let me borrow your treasure land for a while, which can be regarded as a good thing for adults, and it will also be a good story if it is spread out."

"After this thing is sold, I won't bother you anymore today. The customer has bought what he likes. It's good for you, me, and him."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhuang sighed, shook his head helplessly and said, "We haven't done the deal yet. You are so polite, why should I mind? If you really like the item in Jingyu's hand, just go ahead and buy it."

"But I'm sure you two have heard our quarrel just now!"

The shopkeeper was reminding Liu Ping'an and the others of the value of amber in disguise, fearing that the customers would suffer a loss in his shop and be ripped off by his old friend's son, and the news would get out and ruin his and Rongbaozhai's reputation.

Bai Jingyu, who was standing nearby, immediately became angry upon hearing this and shouted, "Uncle Zhuang, I can't tolerate you being like this."

Liu Ping'an nodded to Shopkeeper Zhuang, indicating that he understood. Then he turned to Chen Xueru and said, "Go and look around the store with Shopkeeper Zhuang first. If you like anything, just take it. Just let me know later."

Shopkeeper Zhuang knew that he had met someone who was not short of money today. It seemed that the buyer of Rongbaozhai today was the lady next to him. If he couldn't open the shop, he would look to her. He also heard that Liu Ping'an wanted to talk to Bai Jingyu alone, so he immediately asked Chen Xueruo to look around Rongbaozhai. This would also make room for Bai Jingyu and Liu Ping'an.
