After being dressed as a scumbag, I was dismissed? !

"Mr. Zheng?" Gu Beizhi put down the cloth and walked over, "Mr. Zheng wants to ask which one to choose?"

This Mr. Zheng is also an interesting person. His family is in the food business, which is not small and has a lot of pocket money in his hand, but he is very stingy in eating, drinking and dressing, but he is very willing to buy paperweights.

Every month when the monthly silver was paid, he would come to Liujia Street to look for good paperweights. If the paperweights were used by famous people, he would go all out to buy them, especially the ones used by high officials, which he loved very much.

Gu Beizhi has also seen Mr. Zheng spend a lot of money a few times, and he has a little understanding of his behavior. This Mr. Zheng has a second problem, which is that he is afraid of being picked.

This is what modern people often call choice phobia.

Seeing this dilemma, Gu Beizhi could immediately judge that Mr. Zheng didn't have enough silver to take down both paperweights, but he couldn't choose one. At this time, Mr. Zheng's third characteristic began to play a role.

That is to find someone to help him make a choice, no matter what he chooses, Mr. Zheng will buy it!

Combining Mr. Zheng's three problems together, he really stumbled a lot in antiques, but there is no way, he is such a person, so the reason why he loves to come to Baoyixuan is also very simple, Baoyixuan sold him The things that are expensive are the most expensive ones, not like others who give him a high price but let him buy the one that is worthless.

"Yes, yes, old Gu, help me take a look, red and green, which one should I choose?" Mr. Zheng touched the golden silk jade on the left, and then the sapphire on the right.

Because Gu Beizhi has been helping in the lobby, he has never let go of his identification skills. He has already identified these two paperweights.

But the gold appraiser was in charge of the appraisal when it was collected in the store, so he didn't care about it, he just wanted to see who had a relationship with these two very different paperweights.

Wenwan and antiques are actually no different from gambling on stones. There are not a few people who get rich overnight, and countless people go bankrupt overnight.

Just like the two paperweights in front of me, one is a priceless treasure, and the other is an old imitation.

However, the selling price is 3000 taels of silver.

Gu Beizhi hesitated, should he let Mr. Zheng take advantage of this?

"Mr. Zheng, although the shape of this golden silk jade paperweight is simple, it is better than the quality of the jade. You see, there is no impurity in the whole. Not only that, the lines are extremely smooth, and it feels like a beautiful woman's fat, which makes people reluctant to let go. I wish I could play with it all the time, and put it on the pure white Li Xuan, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Gu Beizhi didn't wait for him to think clearly, and introduced another one, "And this sapphire paperweight has a very good shape and meaning, and the carving is also very good. If it is placed on a high-quality yellow Xuan, it will be lush and full of vitality. It is suitable for reading and writing. Every now and then, you can be happy.”

Hearing what he said, Mr. Zheng was even more reluctant to part with anyone. Unfortunately, he only had 4000 taels, and this Baoyixuan couldn't bargain the most. Shopkeeper Du would not give up a penny to the price set in the store. Add a head.

"Mr. Zheng, think about it again. If you put this gold-threaded red jade on Li Xuan, who is white in the paper, doesn't it mean that the plum is cold and proud of the snow? Put a sapphire paperweight on the Huang Xuan who smells the fragrance and knows the paper. Doesn't the aroma of yellow xuan flowers and grass set off by it make it more vivid?"

As I said earlier, Mr. Zheng is a patient with choice phobia, and originally liked to ask for everything, but after listening to Gu Beizhi's instigation, he couldn't let go of any of them.

"Shopkeeper Du, this young master is considered a regular customer of Baoyixuan, why don't you give me a discount?" Mr. Zheng hoped that Shopkeeper Du would lower the price for him in a whimsical way.

Shopkeeper Du stroked his beard, and said slowly, "Master Zheng also knows the rules of our Baoyixuan. The set price will never change. If Mr. Zheng buys both paperweights, I can decide to give you a white agate." Beads are added to the head."

Gu Beizhi looked at shopkeeper Du in surprise. Today shopkeeper Du spoke a little bluntly, and it was easy to drive away customers.

However, both of them underestimated Mr. Zheng's love for paperweights. After listening to Gu Beizhi's introduction and shopkeeper Du's suggestion to buy them all, they patted the table, "I bought it! I bought it all!"

Shopkeeper Du almost pulled off two of his beards, and immediately said with a smile, "Okay, I will wrap the two paperweights for Mr. Zheng. Please come with me..."

Mr. Zheng took out 4000 taels of silver bills from his pocket and slapped them on the table, "I don't have enough silver bills, so you send someone back with me to get them."

"Xiao Ding, you can go with Mr. Zheng." Shopkeeper Du greeted Xiao Ding who was cleaning the museum shelf.

Ever since Baoyixuan and Zhenyu Pavilion fought Wu Yonghua once, Baoyixuan counterattacked perfectly and snatched many Zhenyu Pavilion guests, but Xiao Dingmei was spoiled, and he worked very enthusiastically every day. Not idle for a while.

"Hey! Here we come." Xiao Ding hurriedly packed up the rag, washed his hands, and followed Mr. Zheng to pick up the silver ticket.

Before Mr. Zheng left, he looked at the two paperweights very carefully for a while, and reluctantly touched a handful of gold silk jade.

As soon as they left, shopkeeper Du asked another guy to watch the store. He put away the two paperweights and put them in his hands, "Beizhi, come with me."

The two went directly to the second floor, where there was a resting room for shopkeeper Du, and there were many details of the store and many books in it.

After entering the room, shopkeeper Du asked him to sit down, without any nonsense, he opened the box to reveal two paperweights inside, one red and one green, which matched well.

"Tell me, is there something wrong with these two paperweights?" Shopkeeper Du's face was serious at this time, and his brows were tightly knitted, obviously very unhappy.

"Dubber?"

Shopkeeper Du took out Jinsiyu's paperweight, "This paperweight is wrong, isn't it?" Although he was asking a question, his tone was very firm.

Gu Beizhi didn't expect shopkeeper Du to be so sensitive, and he hesitated to tell the truth, because the price of these two paperweights was not high when they were collected, only 500 taels, the price estimated by the gold appraiser, and they were sold backhanded. It was 3000 taels.

Don’t look at the price difference of 500 taels, but Baoyixuan’s order is really not a high price. In the eyes of people who don’t know how to do it, Wenwan is just an ordinary jade paperweight, but in the eyes of collectors, it’s just More than this little money.

The poor cannot afford to collect, and those who are not short of money naturally care more about whether they can buy their favorite treasures.

"Bei Zhi, you have been in the store for almost two months, and you have never done a single appraisal, and the old man has not made you feel sorry for you. Now I want you to tell the truth, is it not too much?" Shopkeeper Du obviously knows how to handle Gu Bei. Know.

What Gu Beizhi is most afraid of is not being reprimanded, but not being able to repay others for taking care of him.

He immediately told the value of the sapphire paperweight. During the appraisal, he saw that the price of the gold silk jade paperweight was more than 1 taels. Now the limit of the gold finger is 1 taels. This gold silk jade has exceeded this range, and the sapphire The paperweight shows 550 taels.

The price difference was so great that he had to examine the two paperweights carefully.

Later, it was discovered that the sapphire paperweight was an imitation, a jade horse paperweight worth tens of thousands of gold, and the real one was stored in the private treasury of today's emperor.

The real product was made by a family owner 600 years ago, and it has been repeated many times since then. The image has been known to many nobles, families and big businessmen, and there have been many imitations.

Or it can be called the same model, because there are many of the same model, and the value is also different, it should be judged from the year and the original owner.

But this jade horse paperweight is an old fake, that is, it has just been made in recent years, and it is only worth the price of jade, which is 550 taels.

Shopkeeper Du was quite calm when he heard this. After all, no one can guarantee that he will not miss it every time. He knocked on the table, "Beizhi, go ahead, where is this golden silk jade?"

Gu Beizhi said with a smile, "Du Bo, Beizhi has just entered the industry not long ago, and his eyesight is still far behind that of his predecessors. Why don't you ask Brother Jin to come over to see if the sapphire paperweight is real or not?"

"I'll call Jin Dacheng over in a while. You finish your judgment first. What kind of magical power is this Jinsiyu paperweight?" Shopkeeper Du obviously didn't want to let him be fooled like this.

Seeing this, Gu Beizhi no longer concealed it, "I'm sorry, Du Bo, this golden silk and jade paperweight is an orphan. If I'm not mistaken, it should come from the same source as the imperial horse."

"Jade horse? Royal horse?!" Shopkeeper Du's breathing became more rapid.

The original genuine jade horse paperweight was collected by the founding emperor of Zhao State after many twists and turns, and then bestowed on the prince. Since then, it has been kept in the private treasury by the emperor.

Paperweight is an important tool for the study in addition to pen, ink, paper and inkstone. It was invented more than 600 years ago in the Qi Dynasty. "Little Five Treasures", known as "Yawan".

The Royal Horse Paperweight was rewarded by Emperor Qi to Wang Yan, then Shangshu Ling. Since the Qi Dynasty only existed for 23 years, Wang Yan's official career was not smooth, and the Wang family was also torn apart, causing the Royal Horse Paperweight to fall into exile.

The meaning of the same origin means that the Jinsiyu paperweight also came from the period of Emperor Qi, and was then rewarded to the ministers, which means that this paperweight is as valuable as the imperial horse paperweight!

But how much did they sell for?

3000 taels of silver?

Shopkeeper Du felt that his evil fire came from the bottom up, and it was burning like a fire, and he wished he could be an unscrupulous profiteer and fool Mr. Zheng.

But no, Bao Yixuan never does such treacherous and unscrupulous things, and it's really not uncommon to miss something, no one can guarantee that they are safe.

"Dubber, I'm sorry, I couldn't sell fake products to customers at that time..." Gu Beizhi was also in a dilemma, selling to customers even though he knew it was fake, he really couldn't do this.

Shopkeeper Du touched his chest and said, "Okay, you go down first, and think about how to stop the appraisal job in the past few days."

"Understood, Du Bo, I'm sorry, I'm leaving first." Gu Beizhi felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't help it.

Shopkeeper Du didn't say a word. After a while, Shopkeeper Du stood at the stairs on the second floor, "Jin Dacheng, Wang Shaoye! Come here!"

The clerk who was cleaning the museum shelf on the first floor almost fell down, and stood still in panic. When Jin and Wang went upstairs, still a little shocked, he approached Gu Beizhi and asked, "Brother Gu, what's the matter with the shopkeeper?" ? So angry."

Gu Beizhi shook his head and remained silent.

The clerk didn't ask any further questions, but just looked up at the second floor, and whispered to Gu Beizhi, "Brother Gu, this is the first time I've seen Shopkeeper Du speak in such a loud voice, it seems that Brother Ding is right, our shopkeeper I'm in a bad temper."

Gu Beizhi smiled, "Really? I think the shopkeeper has a good temper, and he usually speaks kindly."

"Hey, Brother Ding said, it means that there is nothing wrong with our work. If something goes wrong, try it, and the shopkeeper will scold you like a dog." The clerk approached him and whispered, "I heard that Master Wang was still there before. Being scolded and crying, the anecdote has been scolded for half an hour, and I drank three pots of tea!"

"This is really the first time I've heard of it. It seems that I have to be careful in the future and try not to make mistakes." Gu Beizhi agreed.

The guy nodded, "No."

While talking, he didn’t stop working. He had to wipe off the two museum shelves in front of him before lunch. This is also the rule of Baoyixuan. The sky has to be covered with a layer of dust, dirty and unsightly.
