Zuo Jingyan saw that the woman was about to enter the black market, so she hurriedly called her:

"Sister, please wait a moment."

When Qian Xiuying heard someone calling her, she turned around nervously. When she saw it was Zuo Jingyan, she was obviously startled and subconsciously wanted to run away.

Zuo Jingyan couldn’t laugh or cry:

"Don't be afraid, I want to buy something, not grab something?"

She was the woman who met selling antique jewelry boxes on the black market last time. At that time, she was disturbed by Wu Xiangyu and failed to buy it. Zuo Jingyan had been thinking about it, always feeling that it was a good item, and it would be a pity to miss it.

I didn't expect to meet her on the road today. I wonder if the jewelry box was sold?

"What are you buying?"

Qian Xiuying was still very wary. After all, Zuo Jingyan, Qin Shufen and the others had given her too much of a shock last time. The face of the woman they scratched was bloody, and she was terrified from the inside out.

Zuo Jingyan said in a soft tone:

"Sister, do you still have the jewelry box you sold last time? I like it very much. If it still exists, can you sell it to me?"

Qian Xiuying took a step back, and Zuo Jingyan glanced at her right hand. She was holding a triangular cloth bag in her hand. The bag looked square in shape, and it seemed to be a jewelry box?

"Sister, don't be afraid. I'm really buying something. If you don't believe it, I'll give you ten dollars first and let me take a look at the item. If the goods are good, we will discuss the price."

Zuo Jingyan took out ten yuan and handed it over. Did you take a look at the head office for the ten yuan?

When Qian Xiuying saw that she had given money, she became less vigilant. She looked around, it was almost the Chinese New Year and there were too many people on the street. Isn't it safe to take this thing out?

"Sister, I've opened a barber shop over there. Can you come with me to my house and have a look?"

Zuo Jingyan noticed her concerns and she had better be careful not to reveal her wealth, so she invited her home to see her.

"Jingyan Hairdressing Studio?"

Qian Xiuying glanced at Zuo Jingyan in surprise. This barber shop is very famous in Jinghai. I heard that working as a barber at her home can earn 500 yuan a month.

She wanted her eldest son to become a trainee, but her family couldn't afford the 60 yuan tuition. That barber shop was very expensive, and her family had no money and had never been there. She didn't expect that the young woman in front of her was from that shop.

Seeing that she was still hesitant, Zuo Jingyan took the initiative to reveal her identity:

"I run that store. Don't worry. If the stuff is good, I'll leave it to you at a high price. If you don't like the stuff you take away, I won't take the ten dollars."

"Are you the owner of Jingyan Hairdressing Studio?"

Qian Xiuying was excited when she heard that Zuo Jingyan was the boss.

Zuo Jingyan nodded:

"Yes, I'm the boss. Look, I'm carrying so many things in my hands. It's really tiring for us to stand here and talk. Can we go inside and sit down and talk?"

"Okay, okay, let's go into the house and talk."

Qian Xiuying nodded excitedly. If she was really the owner of Jingyan Hairdressing Studio, she would definitely be able to afford her own things.

She was scared by Wu Xiangyu and Zuo Jingyan last time, and she never dared to go to the black market to sell jewelry boxes.

Today, I really had no choice but to take the risk, but I was terribly scared. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to sell it and would be robbed by others. I was afraid that I would be arrested by the Red Sleeve Band and locked up in a small black room. Now that someone is buying it, I don’t have to go to the black market. It’s simply too scary.

alright.

Zuo Jingyan took her back to the shop. It was the first time Qian Xiuying entered such a high-end barber shop. She hugged the jewelry box tightly and did not dare to look around.

Zuo Jingyan greeted her:

"Come to the back room with me."

Qian Xiuying carried the jewelry box and walked with Zuo Jingyan to the back room. When she saw Zuo Jingyan opening the door of the combination cabinet and going in, she froze in place and did not dare to move.

Zuo Jingyan turned around and saw that she had not followed, so she smiled and called her:

"Come in, this is the door."

Qian Xiuying promised and walked into the cabinet, but she didn't dare to step on it for fear of damaging the cabinet.

"Come, come into the house."

Zuo Jingyan brought her into her house. When Li Qiaoyun saw her daughter-in-law bringing back a woman, she asked her in a low voice:

"Jingyan, is she a relative of yours?"

Zuo Jingyan shook her head:

"Mom, no, I want to buy something with her."

Qian Xiuying nodded to Li Qiaoyun. She was very humble and timid. After all, she felt uneasy when she came to someone else's house.

"Come into the house, open the things and let me take a look."

Zuo Jingyan greeted her into the house and closed the door behind her.

"good."

Qian Xiuying carefully placed the jewelry box on the table, untied the triangle bag and took out the jewelry box.

Zuo Jingyan picked up the jewelry box and looked at it carefully. She didn't know much about wood, but the color looked a bit like huanghuali wood. She had only seen it once on the black market before, and at that time she thought it was red sandalwood!

The jewelry box has two layers of drawers, with three small drawers in the upper row and two large drawers in the lower row. The drawers also have exquisite small copper handles.

There are five small, beautifully carved screens that are turned down on the lid of the jewelry box. The empty space in the middle of the screen should be where the mirror is placed. It looks good.

Qian Xiuying erected the five small screens and took out the bronze mirror from the drawer and put them on it. The jewelry box instantly became taller. She explained to Zuo Jingyan:

"This is a huanghuali wood five-screen mirror stand inherited from my husband's family. The middle position can be used to place a small mirror for dressing."

She tried hard to remember the name of the jewelry box she heard from her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law said that this jewelry box was very valuable and was her dowry.

Zuo Jingyan didn't know much about antiques. Just hearing that they were passed down from her ancestors and the carvings were so exquisite meant they were very valuable. She was also afraid that Qian Xiuying would ask her for more money, so she asked her:

"You said you wanted a hundred yuan last time, right?"

"Last time...my man said this jewelry box costs at least two hundred yuan. He said it was from the Ming Dynasty and was very valuable."

Qian Xiuying was very embarrassed. She was a little afraid to look at Zuo Jingyan. After all, the price had doubled.

"Doubled?"

Zuo Jingyan smiled and asked clearly: "Are you going to increase the price just because I like it?"

Qian Xiuying was afraid that Zuo Jingyan would be angry and not buy it, so she took out a gold ring set with rubies from her pocket.

"No, no, it's really...my family is in urgent need of money, can I give you this ring too?"

Zuo Jingyan turned on the desk lamp and held up the ring to the light. The ruby ​​​​exuded a charming light under the light. The gold ring was also very heavy, at least five grams.

The jewelry box alone is not expensive at 200 yuan, and it also comes with a ruby ​​ring, which is quite a bargain. However, seeing that Qian Xiuying seemed to be short of money, Zuo Jingyan did not take advantage of her:

"I kept it all. I didn't ask for this ring from you for nothing. I'll give you sixty. Last time you said you also had a jade bracelet. Can you take it out and let me have a look?"

Gold is valuable, but jade is priceless. If it is an emerald bracelet, it is worth a lot of money.

"That bracelet..."

Qian Xiuying was a little embarrassed, Zuo Jingyan smiled:

"If you are in trouble, forget it. A gentleman does not take what others like. If you still have these old things at home, just send them to me. I will take them all."

Qian Xiuying said hurriedly:
Chapter completed!
