The original name of this Zhengde Zhai branch was Xibaolou, owned by Hongfeng. Since it is a subordinate property of the Gou family, it has now been replaced by the Zhengde Zhai sign.
I have to say that this store is very well decorated and looks very quaint, which goes well with this antique store.
Qin Fen raised his eyes and saw that the store looked several square meters larger than the Qingya Hall next to it. There were six Duobao Pavilions in the lobby, and antiques and toys were placed in each row.
Qin Fen showed a faint smile.
At this time, there were customers in twos and threes choosing things, so when Qin Fen and Du Ming came in, no one came to say hello.
"Sir, this jadeite Guanyin is of the highest quality imperial green. Look at the quality. Regardless of whether it is grown in water, it is rare in the world."
At this time, I saw a young man in his forties introducing a baby to the guests with a smile on his face.
Qin Fen glanced at the clerk. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked very grand. Moreover, when he introduced the baby, he was very delicate. Qin Fen couldn't help but take a second look. This man looked unkempt. Unexpectedly,
There is still some ability.
"This man's name is Jia Yuxuan, and he is the treasure appraiser here. Although he was the treasure appraiser of the Rare Treasure Tower before, he is a very upright person, so I will keep him here now."
At this time, Du Ming whispered in his ear.
"Well, this guy looks pretty good!"
Qin Fen nodded.
Sure enough, after some introduction and bargaining, a piece of imperial green jade Guanyin was sold.
"Mr. Du, why are you here in such a free time?!"
After the money and goods were cleared, Jia Yuxuan saw Du Ming and Qin Fen appear in the store and hurriedly greeted them.
"Haha, Jia Yuxuan, let me introduce to you, this is the boss of our Zhengde Zhai, Qin Fen!" Du Ming chuckled and introduced him.
Sure enough, Jia Yuxuan was stunned, carefully looked at Qin Fen, and said hurriedly: "Hello, Director Qin! I have heard of your name for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet you!"
Qin Fen shook hands with Jia Yuxuan in a friendly manner, and said with a chuckle: "Brother Xuan, you are serious. From now on, this whole store will rely on you!"
"Dr. Qin, please don't say that. I'm just a waiter, and I have to put you first in everything."
Jia Yuxuan became a little nervous when he saw Qin Fen being so polite.
There are many treasure appraisers like him, so he is extremely lucky to be a treasure appraiser in Zhengdezhai. Therefore, Qin Fen's politeness makes him a little nervous. No matter what, he can't lose this job.
Work.
"Brother Xuan, there is no need to be modest. I have noticed your level just now. As long as you work hard in Zhengde Zhai, you will definitely have a good future."
"Thank you, Director Qin!"
Jia Yuxuan nodded hurriedly.
"Well, Brother Xuan, this eldest sister has an antique in her hand. You can help me with it."
As Qin Fen spoke, he gestured to Mr. Du beside him.
Du Ming understood, kindly took the vase from the woman's hand, and handed it to Jia Yuxuan.
In fact, everyone understood Qin Fen's intention, especially Jia Yuxuan. The reason why Qin Fen made himself determined was simply to show his ability in treasure appraisal.
Therefore, even though I was nervous, I didn't dare to neglect it at all. After taking the vase, I quickly took out my magnifying glass and carefully looked at it inch by inch.
Qin Fen stood aside and smiled at Du Ming.
Later, Qin Fen turned around and saw that the woman was still looking nervous and feeling uncomfortable standing there.
Qin Fen's heart moved, and he chuckled at her and said, "Sister, don't stand here, let's sit over there."
Hearing Qin Fen's kind words, the woman nodded blankly, followed Qin Fen, and sat down on the sofa for guests to rest.
Du Ming hurriedly brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of them.
"Sister, do you have a patient at home?!"
Qin Fen looked at the other party carefully and saw that the woman's brow was full of sadness, making her originally beautiful face look more haggard.
The woman was nervous for a moment, then nodded and said, "I...my husband and my daughter are both sick, and now they are urgently waiting for money!"
"I wonder what kind of disease my eldest brother and the child have?!"
After Qin Fen finished speaking, he saw that the woman was a little nervous and did not dare to speak. Qin Fen hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I just smelled the Z medicine on your body and felt a little curious, because there is a Z doctor in my family.
So I’m just more sensitive to the smell of z medicine.”
Hearing this, the woman was startled, hesitated, and finally said: "Boss, do you also know medical skills?!"
"Haha, I know a little bit about it too." Qin Fen chuckled.
Hearing this, the woman's face looked slightly disappointed, but she finally gritted her teeth and said: "My husband has been ill for seven years and is now in a coma. The family has spent all their savings. My daughter some time ago,
I don’t know what happened, but she, who was originally innocent and lively, suddenly became taciturn and locked herself in the room every day, unwilling to see anyone!"
When Qin Fen heard what happened, his expression quietly changed.
It's not surprising that this man is in a coma. After all, many diseases can cause coma, but something is wrong with this little girl. It doesn't sound like a disease at all.
At this moment, Jia Yuxuan walked over with excitement on his face and said to Du Ming and Qin Fen: "Director Qin, this blue vase should be from the Qianlong period!"
Hearing this, Qin Fenxin chuckled. Although it took some time, Jia Yuxuan did have some skills.
However, Qin Fen wanted to continue to test him, so he simply frowned and said: "Brother Xuan, do you think this is true?!"
As soon as these words came out, the other people all looked nervous, especially Jia Yuxuan and this woman.
Du Ming's heart suddenly moved. He already understood Qin Fen's thoughts and immediately turned his attention to Jia Yuxuan.
"Yuxuan, you have to watch carefully!" Du Ming said calmly.
"This..." Jia Yuxuan held the vase in his hand, his expression a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I am convinced that this vase is a product of the official kiln during the Qianlong period. If I am mistaken, I will pack up and leave!"
"Haha... Okay, Brother Xuan, you do have some skills. This vase is indeed real. From now on, you will be fully responsible for this branch. If you have anything, please tell Mr. Qin or me directly!"
Just when Jia Yuxuan was worried, Qin Fen suddenly laughed.
Du Ming, who was next to him, also smiled happily at Jia Yuxuan.
"Director Qin, what are you..."
At this moment, Jia Yuxuan suddenly realized that Qin Fen and Du Ming were testing their feelings. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat just now. Fortunately, he persisted in his judgment.
"Sister, how much do you plan to sell this vase for?!" Qin Fen turned back to the woman and asked.
"Five...five hundred thousand!"
"Well, in this case, I will give you one million for my personal collection."
Qin Fen thought about it briefly and said calmly.
"How can this be allowed, Director Qin?! Now that you have spoken, I will write a check right away!" Jia Yuxuan hurriedly stopped him.
"Boss, this is too much. Just give me 500,000 yuan." The woman was also shocked. However, she only wanted 500,000 yuan to treat men and children. She didn't want others to pity her.
"Well, let's wait in the store first, and then I'll transfer it to you. Brother Xuan can write the check!"
After Qin Fen finished speaking, he turned his attention to the woman, "It's not safe for you to withdraw money alone. Let's go with you and then go to your house to have a look. I know some medical skills. Maybe I can show it to your husband."
sick!"
The woman raised her head and glanced at Qin Fen. Finally, with excitement on her face, she knelt on the ground and cried: "Thank you, good people are rewarded!"
Seeing this, Qin Fen hurriedly stepped aside, then stepped forward to help the woman up, and said with some emotion: "Don't do this, I can't bear it, let's not waste time."
After Qin Fen finished speaking, the woman slowly held back her tears and followed Qin Fen outside.
Along the way, Qin Fen knew that the woman's name was Xia Yuqin, who was thirty-two years old. However, what shocked Qin Fen was that this Xia Yuqin turned out to be a graduate of the Department of History and Archeology of Xichang University, with a bachelor's degree.
Qin Fen didn't believe it at first, but as he gradually became acquainted with her, Xia Yuqin actually told him a lot of historical and archaeological knowledge, which made Qin Fen look at him with admiration.
It turned out that after graduation, she stayed in school to teach, but after her husband fell ill, she simply resigned and stayed at home to take care of her husband and daughter. Such infatuated women are very rare nowadays.
"Sister Qin, don't worry. No matter what, we got to know each other, so I will do my best to save them."
After helping Wu Yuqin change the check into a bank card, Qin Fen comforted her softly.
"Thank you, boss. My husband's name is Bai Feng. He is a soldier. We rarely meet each other every year, and he rarely talks to me about the army. Later, he was sent back by his comrades. They told me that my husband is an executioner.
He was injured during the mission and was given a large amount of money. Later, the money was all spent, but his illness was still not cured, and it has become much more serious recently."
A hint of helplessness appeared on Wu Yuqin's face, and both Du Ming and Qin Fen were moved.
Under Wu Yuqin's guidance, the car finally arrived at a residential area in the suburbs of Xichang.
After twists and turns, the car finally stopped at the gate of a private house.
After several people got out of the car, Wu Yuqin hurriedly led Qin Fen and Du Ming into the yard.
Qin Fen's heart was moved when he saw the scene in the yard. The yard was not big, but it was kept in order, but the two rooms were a bit dilapidated.
Due to years of disrepair, the roof has become dented.
"You two have made you laugh. We originally had a house in the city, but in order to treat his illness, we had to sell it all. This is what my husband's ancestors left behind!"
Wu Yuqin said a little embarrassed.
"Sister Qin, you're welcome. The place I lived in when I was a child is similar to here, but now I feel a little familiar with it."
In order to prevent Wu Yuqin from worrying too much, Qin Fen hurriedly explained.
While speaking, Wu Yuqin smiled bitterly and led the two of them into the room.
I saw only a shadow, and when I saw someone coming in, I quickly ran to the back room.
