Jianbao Lingyan
Chapter 11 The Unpleasant Guest
"Ache~Ache~"
Xu You sat on the bed pitifully, wrapped in two layers of quilts, and stared at the Chinese medicine in Chen Zhibei's hand in resistance.
"Drink it." Chen Zhibei handed the medicine to Xu You with a serious expression.
"Can I not drink it?" Xu Wei was not coquettish, but for some reason, after Chen Zhibei drank the medicine, his body would emit an unpleasant stench and black sweat.
Xu Wei swears that since he entered the city, he has taken a bath at least once a week. Uncle Liu in the bathhouse can testify.
"Drink it by yourself, eat rice balls made with wine at noon, I'll feed you, and eat steamed buns later." Chen Zhibei waved the medicine in front of Xu Wei, and pointed to the kitchen.
Xu You was very conflicted, swinging back and forth between shame and Jiuniangzi.
Cruel-hearted, Xu You thought that just after Chinese New Year, she was at home to take a bath, and no one would know except Chen Zhibei.So he resolutely grabbed the medicine bowl and drank it in one go.
Chen Zhibei took the empty medicine bowl and nodded, "Cover it up for a while, we will have dinner in two hours, rice balls with fermented rice and beef in sauce."
When Xu You heard this, she was overjoyed, and happily lay on the bed under the quilt.As for the problem of eating after taking a bath, it is not too late to think about it in an hour and a half.
A day later, Xu You was alive and well, wearing a jacket and wool trousers, standing at the gate and stretching, not to mention how comfortable it was.
"Excuse me, is this Dr. Chen's house?"
Xu You was about to turn around and go back when she heard a very sweet and pleasant voice next to her ear.
Xu You turned around and froze there.
Although Xu You's eyes cannot see color, this does not prevent Xu You from knowing the appearance of the person in front of him.
The skin should be very fair, Xu Wei guessed based on experience.The facial features are exquisite and soft, with willow leaf-like eyebrows, raised eyes, small nose, and charming tear mole.
Tall and slender, wearing a stylish business suit.
But the most attractive thing is the suet jade safety lock with multicolored silk sash on the neck of the beauty. The charming soft white halo completely covers the upper body of the beauty, like a radiant Guanyin, making people People have the idea of going up to worship.
"Brother Beizi has gone out." People often come to see Chen Zhibei for medical treatment, but they are all neighbors. For ordinary minor illnesses, the old people still trust Chinese medicine.
The girl frowned, and gave Xu You a bad look.For beautiful women, she has seen this kind of look a lot, but it is the first time she has seen such a straightforward look, which makes the girl feel bored.
Seeing the beauty's eyes, Xu You realized that the other party had misunderstood something, and hurriedly opened his eyes, and then found that there was an old man beside the beauty, looking at him with a smile.
"Cough, let's go into the room first. Brother Beizi is going shopping, and I'll be back in a while." Xu Wei hurriedly greeted the two of them to enter the room. Since they came to see a doctor, they couldn't let people stand outside and wait. What about snowflakes.
"Little brother, excuse me." The old man kept smiling, and even bowed to Xu You before entering the room.
After the three of them entered the room, Xu Wei took out the teapot and tea leaves and made a pot of tea for them.
Soon, a fragrance of Longjing filled the living room.
"Good tea, this taste is even more fragrant than that of ordinary Yuqian Longjing. It is less dry and a little more aftertaste." The old man took a sip of tea and praised.
Xu You scratched his head and smiled honestly, "Brother Beizi made it with herbs, so the taste is different from other teas. Drinking it for a long time is good for your health, but you can't drink too much at one time."
"So that's it. It's really worth it to come this time. It's not in vain." The old man was very happy, then narrowed his eyes and continued to enjoy the cup of tea.
"When will Dr. Chen come back? My grandfather is not in good health. We also came from Hong Kong after hearing the introduction from President Kong of the Chinese Medicine Association." The beauty obviously has no interest in tea. In fact, if the cup in her hand now If there is coffee, maybe she will comment on it, tea, for Lu Yanran who grew up in a foreign country, is not attractive at all.
"In half an hour, he's going to the vegetable market next to the street to buy vegetables, and he'll be back when he's done shopping." Xu You felt that this woman was a bit strange, and she didn't seem to believe in Chen Zhibei's medical skills. If she didn't believe it, why? Come all the way here to find a doctor.
"Young man, I think the wooden sign on your body is very good. I, an old man, have no other hobbies but like to study these messy things. Can you let me have a look at your wooden sign." The old man is Lu Zeming, kindly Looking at Xu You carefully, he pointed to the safe entry and exit sign on Xu You's neck.
When Xu You heard this request, he laughed.Many people have seen Xu Er's wooden sign on Dongtai Road. There was even an old gentleman who offered 3000 yuan, but Xu Er never agreed.Leaving aside whether the price is suitable or not, this is Xu Wei's first collection, which opened the door to a new world for him. Xu Wei himself still treasures it, so how could he sell it.
What's more, gloomy wood has always been something that can't be found.But if you just look at it, Xu You is not a stingy person.
Xu You took off the wooden sign around his neck and put it on the table. Although the wooden sign is not afraid of falling, Xu You is usually very careful.
Lu Zeming frowned when he saw that Xu You didn't pass the wooden sign directly to him, and looked at Xu You in surprise, thinking that he was thinking too much, and it might just be a coincidence.
Ordinary people would pass things directly in front of the other party and put them on the table for the other party to take. That was the rule in the antique world.
Antiques are mostly fragile items. If two people pass them with both hands, it is not clear if they touch each other. Besides, antiques can cost tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions, and there are not many cheap ones.
Lu Zeming picked up the Prayer Card for Entrance and Exit Safety and looked at it carefully, then took out his magnifying glass and handkerchief with him in disbelief, his eyes became hotter the more he looked at it.
"Little brother, this wooden sign is not bad. It has been around for a long time." Lu Zeming looked at it for a while, and then restrained his expression. Although it was not bad, I often said, "It doesn't look like a modern craft. A little famous, without a trace of craftsmanship."
"It's okay, I found this in a corner of my house." Xu You still had a naive smile, scratching his hair with his right hand, and looked very shy.
"It's really good. I have a similar one in my family. I've always wanted to make a pair. Little brother, I wonder if this wooden sign can be given to me." Hearing Xu You say this, Lu Zeming thought it was a family sign. It is something passed down from the ancestors, but no one knows it now, and the original five or six points in my heart have suddenly risen to seven or eight points.
"Old man, do you have a wooden sign similar to this one? Oh, is it true? I work in a grocery store on Dongtai Road. I have seen this kind of brand they sell. I heard it is very expensive." Xu Er thought this The old man was dishonest, he only said that the sign was well carved, not that it was made of gloomy wood.Xu You was not sure whether the other party really couldn't see it, or whether he was using him as a stick.
"Isn't it just a wooden signboard? There are many in my house." Lu Yanran, who heard that Chen Zhibei would not come back until the meeting, was not very happy at first, but now she was despised by a young man, very angry.
The pretty face turned bright red because of anger, making it even more gorgeous.
As the saying goes, "gold ten thousand taels will be sent to the underworld, and in exchange for ebony to sacrifice to the spirit of the sky", Xu Wei doesn't understand that such precious things are naturally handed down rarely, and I am surprised that her family also has them, isn't it normal?
"Yanran, where's your manners?" Lu Zeming nodded angrily at his granddaughter, for fear that the granddaughter would mess up the treasure she got.
Lu Yanran turned her head angrily, feeling that her grandfather was being unreasonable, she was obviously speaking for him, yet she still scolded her.
"Young man, don't mind. My granddaughter grew up abroad, so she has a straight temper." Lu Mingze still smiled at Xu You, but he didn't let go of the wooden sign in his right hand.
"It's okay, I don't mind." Xu You really felt that it didn't matter, that girl had nothing to do with him, and she had nothing to do with him.
Lu Zeming nodded, "How about this, I'll pay 1000 yuan to buy this blessing card, how about it?"
"Well, I've been carrying this wooden sign since I was a child, and I didn't sell it for 3000." Xu Wei felt that this old man was really dark, not counting wood, even in terms of craftsmanship and history, 3000 was a low price.The old man who paid 3000 before didn't see the wood, but later he found out and never bothered him again.
"Then, 4000, how about I apologize to you on behalf of my granddaughter?" Lu Mingze added more when he heard the other party say this.
Xu You blinked, shook her head, "Not for sale."
"A broken wooden brand, how much do you want to sell?" Lu Yanran was very angry, thinking that this grocery store boy was really greedy, and he must have seen his grandfather like it, so he took the opportunity to raise the price.
"Add two more zeros, and I won't sell it." Xu You looked at Lu Mingze and slowly bid.Xu Wei had indeed inquired about the current price of gloomy wood, and his carving of this wooden sign is very good, so 0 is not much.
"Gold is not as expensive as this broken brand, you must be crazy about money." Lu Yanran laughed angrily, let alone, it is really beautiful.
Xu Wei stared at her neck seriously, "It's a bit more expensive than your suet jade, in terms of rarity and quality."
Lu Yanran couldn't understand the meaning of Xu You's words, but Lu Mingze could.
"Hahaha, it turns out that little friend is also a member of the industry." Lu Mingze changed the topic a little awkwardly. At first he thought that the other party didn't know the goods, and planned to pick up leaks at a low price, but he didn't realize that the other party was really an insider.With my own performance just now, I don't know if the other party will feel that I am bullying the small by the big.
"It's just hobbies, plus some research from my ancestors at home, so I can be regarded as half a person in the antique industry." Xu You is very yearning for the antique industry, but he also knows that his level is not good enough to be accepted by this industry.Xu Er is now just in contact with a few well-known vendors in Baozhai.
"Since that's the case, I won't talk about the second price. Little friend 40, give me this blessing card, okay?" Lu Mingze really likes this ebony wooden card, although Lu Mingze can't see the ebony card. It belongs to that kind of wood, but ebony itself is very expensive, 40, not expensive at all.
Lu Yanran stared at her grandpa with wide eyes, not understanding why grandpa spent a lot of money on this wooden sign, even if it was carved by a famous artist, it shouldn't be so expensive.
"Not for sale," Xu Wei shook his head, "Not for sale."
Now, Lu Yanran was even angrier. Her grandfather asked such a high price, but he didn't want to sell it.
"You should think about it clearly. This amount of money is enough for you to live a good life in any city in the mainland. If you work for others, you may not be able to earn so much money in your whole life."
Xu Wei gave Lu Yanran a strange look, and felt that there was something wrong with this woman. She was so angry that she clearly felt that her wooden sign was worthless and she didn't sell it.
"Are you playing with copper coins? I have a Qing copper coin, which is probably a ninth-grade five. It is of good quality, round and round, and it is rare in the world." When doing business for the first time, Xu Er said that he was not nervous, but he was lying. There is no channel here, and if you want to sell the copper coins, there is a very good opportunity in front of you.
"Oh, my little friend has a rare copper coin? Can you take it out and let me taste it?"
Xu You sat on the bed pitifully, wrapped in two layers of quilts, and stared at the Chinese medicine in Chen Zhibei's hand in resistance.
"Drink it." Chen Zhibei handed the medicine to Xu You with a serious expression.
"Can I not drink it?" Xu Wei was not coquettish, but for some reason, after Chen Zhibei drank the medicine, his body would emit an unpleasant stench and black sweat.
Xu Wei swears that since he entered the city, he has taken a bath at least once a week. Uncle Liu in the bathhouse can testify.
"Drink it by yourself, eat rice balls made with wine at noon, I'll feed you, and eat steamed buns later." Chen Zhibei waved the medicine in front of Xu Wei, and pointed to the kitchen.
Xu You was very conflicted, swinging back and forth between shame and Jiuniangzi.
Cruel-hearted, Xu You thought that just after Chinese New Year, she was at home to take a bath, and no one would know except Chen Zhibei.So he resolutely grabbed the medicine bowl and drank it in one go.
Chen Zhibei took the empty medicine bowl and nodded, "Cover it up for a while, we will have dinner in two hours, rice balls with fermented rice and beef in sauce."
