The shop that Ou Jingnian took Dugu Jieao to had a very tacky name - Jubaozhai.Dugu Jieao followed her to the door, and found that the decoration of this store was even more vulgar - the plaque was antique, and a pair of couplets were pretending to be placed, but there was a black letter on a white background hanging on the right side of the couplet. Stationery Co., Ltd.", probably to make the words look less like funeral couplets, with thick gold edging on the sides, making it even more nondescript.

Dugu Jieao, a fanatic of gold, couldn't help but frowned when he saw this kind of decoration. He turned his head to look at Ou Jingnian, and Ou Jingnian said, "The owner of this house is an old acquaintance with my father. My father used to be with him often." Shopping. Although the price is not favorable, the items are guaranteed.”

Dugu Jieao frowned even tighter: "Since my uncle often bought antiques, why didn't I see any of them at home?"

Ou Jingnian coughed in embarrassment, Dugu Jieao understood, and gave her a disdainful look: "You are so cruel to me, but you are very kind to others."

Ou Jingnian: "...what's wrong with me?"

Dugu Jieao had a half-smile but not a smile: "You treat me well, let me break the leg of that little rascal just now."

Ou Jingnian: "Independence! Lonely! Jie! Ao!"

Dugu pursed his lips in dissatisfaction: "Look, when you meet me, you have to be principled and murderous. When you meet Ouyang Tai, tsk." She shook off Ou Jingnian's hand in disgust, put her hands behind her back, and walked Walk slowly into Jubaozhai.

The service staff here are obviously much better than those hawkers on the street. When they saw Dugu Jieao coming in, they didn't hurry to get up to her, nor were they indifferent. They just nodded and smiled at her and said "Hello".

Dugu Jieao's little doubts about Ou's father dissipated, and he nodded his head a little reservedly, and walked to the nearby shelf like a national leader, and picked up a small dagger.

The service staff saw that Dugu Jieao had taken the things, so he walked over with a smile, stopped at a distance, lowered his head slightly, and introduced, "This is Long Jingnian's dagger."

Dugu Jieao turned the dagger over, looked at the mark, and nodded: "In the early stage of Longjing, Guan... that short dagger used by the forbidden army." She looked at the price, only about 1 yuan, a little fussed: "Things that are more than 300 years old That’s why it’s so cheap?” This dagger was also sold for several taels of silver back then, so it’s not much cheaper than it is now.

The service lady didn't care about her obvious layman's words, and explained lightly: "This dagger was already mass-produced at that time, and there are still many of them, so it can't be sold at a high price."

Dugu Jieao shook his head: "It's a pity, this thing is actually very useful." Whenever she or her subordinates need to assassinate someone anonymously, or do something ulterior, they will specially use this kind of dagger, military use Things, strong, sharp, and everywhere in the street, no one can find a clue.

The shopping guide obviously didn't understand why some people still use "easy to use" to evaluate a rusty ancient dagger in modern times. Bai Yan, carefully took out the dagger that Dugu Jieao gave her from the bag, and handed it to the shopping guide standing aside: "This, can I trouble you to estimate the price?"

Even though the dagger was inconspicuous, the shopping guide still caught it carefully, looked at the light, and smiled apologetically: "I can't identify this one, wait a moment, I'll ask our appraiser to come over." She He turned the dagger around, handed over the handle, and put it in Ou Jingnian's hand: "This one, please take it first."

Ou Jingnian was already used to this kind of service, but Dugu Jieao squinted his eyes, looked at the back of the shopping guide leaving, and leaned into Ou Jingnian's ear and asked, "Is this person a senior executive of this store?"

Ou Jingnian didn't understand why Dugu Jieao's IQ suddenly dropped: "It's just an ordinary shop assistant." Aren't there several people wearing the same uniform beside him?

Dugu Jieao looked to the left and right, several staff members smiled at her, and did not come over to snatch clients.

Dugu Jieao clicked his tongue again, and said in a gesture that almost bit Ou Jingnian's ear: "The service of this store is quite good."

Ou Jingnian was speechless: "Burberry, Mercedes-Benz, aren't they all like this?"

Dugu Jieao: "This store is very different. The two over there are more or less looking at people, but the ones here don't feel that they are looking at you at all, and they don't like the swarm of flattery over there. They are neither humble nor overbearing, and the grade is obviously different. "

Ou Jingnian shrugged, "Maybe it's because the things sold here are more expensive."

Dugu Jieao didn't answer, and after a while, she asked quietly: "Tell me, how much is the salary of this shopping guide? If I open an antique shop, can I dig her there?"

Ou Jingnian: "...I can ask someone to help you find out, but you decided to sell antiques so soon?"

Dugu Jieao twitched the corner of his mouth: "The convenience store can't be opened, and the beauty salon needs training. Only the antique shop can be in place soon."

Ou Jingnian didn't say anything, he just held her hand lightly. At this moment, the shopping guide came back again, smiling and guiding the two of them inside.

Walking inside, Dugu Jieao discovered that the store was much larger than it looked on the outside, the outermost ones were just some ordinary exhibits, and the rooms in the middle were all goods preserved in glass cabinets, and the prices ranged from a few hundred to a few hundred. Tens of thousands jump to hundreds of thousands, and then go through an antique hallway, the price of things is even more expensive, no matter how big or small, almost all of them are more than a million.

The shopping guide led them through the hall and into a study-like room.There are four or five desks in this room, and several middle-aged or elderly men wearing glasses are sitting there. Behind them are several large cabinets that look like museum showcases, and each cabinet contains only one or two cultural relics—— None of the cultural relics in this room have a price tag.

Ou Jingnian didn't feel anything unusual, but Dugu Jieao made up his mind and reached out his hand to stop Ou Jingnian from taking out the dagger. He went to the side of the showcase first and looked at all the exhibits without price tags.

Most of the exhibits here are decorations, services, jade and porcelain, a small half of which are unfamiliar to Dugu Jieao, and a small half of which Dugu Jieao can only barely recognize the age. one.

Dugu Jieao circled around pick and choose, pointed to her most sure sword and asked the shopping guide: "How much is this?"

The shopping guide smiled: "This sword is called 'Jiuxiao'. It is an auction item and is not for sale directly. If you are interested, you can participate in our New Year auction. I will apply to the boss and leave you two tickets."

Ou Jingnian probably understood what Dugu Jieao meant, and smiled, "Has the starting price for this sword been set?"

The shopping guide hesitated for a while before saying, "The estimate is between 100 million and 500 million."

This price is not particularly outrageous for an antique, Ou Jingnian nodded knowingly, took out the dagger, the shopping guide lady carefully handed it to the appraiser, several people compared it for a while, and then used the instrument to appraise it , one of them said: "This is a product from the Longjing period of the previous dynasty. It has the owner's private mark. It should be the weapon of a relatively famous person at that time. We need to study who it is." He looked at several other people. At a glance, one of them said: "If you sell it to us, we will pay 100 million."

Dugu Jieao blinked his eyes: "This is the weapon of the owner of Huanxiu Mountain Villa. Although it is not a top-notch item, it is considered unique in the world. You just offer 100 million?"

The appraiser glanced at her: "We don't know what Huanxiu Villa is. If you don't want to sell it to us, you can also participate in the auction. We only charge the transaction fee and don't directly negotiate the price. However, there is also a guaranteed transaction fee for unsold auctions. "

Ou Jingnian was already a little moved by the price, so he stretched out his hand and tugged on Dugu Jieao's sleeve, and Dugu Jieao took her hand back, and asked slowly, "You don't know Huanxiu Villa, but you should know about the sword of the martial arts leader, right? "

The appraisers glanced at each other: "There are very few records about ancient martial arts in the history books. There are only three recorded martial arts leaders. Which one are you talking about?"

Dugu Jieao said: "One whose surname is Dugu."

The appraiser shook his head: "There is no Dugu."

Dugu Jieao felt extremely offended: "Then who are the three who left the record?" She wanted to see who the three leaders who even overshadowed her were.

The old appraiser cast his eyes on the shopping guide, and the shopping guide smiled slightly and counted on his fingers: "Sword master Ouyang Ming, boxing master Jiang Yinfeng, and human saint Shen Zhengben."

When she mentioned the first two, Dugu Jieao reluctantly agreed, but when she heard the words "Rensheng Shen Zhengben", her whole body was in a bad mood: "Old man Shen? What qualifications does he have to be famous in history? "The old man is not good at writing, he has no other advantages except being pedantic, okay?"
