When she came to a shop called Gu Yuzhai, Xiao Yuyan suddenly stopped and said with great interest: "Shall we go and have a look here?"
This Gu Yu Zhai was much larger than the shops they had passed before, and the antique objects displayed inside looked particularly eye-catching.
Han Jiulin only showed a pair of eyes at this time, and could not see the joy, anger, sorrow or joy. He nodded slightly and said: "Okay, let's go inside and have a look."
In the store, a good-looking female clerk with bright eyes saw the two people coming in. She hurriedly greeted them and greeted them with a smile: "What do you two want to see when you come in?"
Tourists on Liulichang Cultural Street come and go frequently every day. Most people who enter this kind of shop just take a casual look.
After a long time, usually when someone comes in, the clerk in the store will not take the initiative to greet them.
They will only greet and inquire after the guests who come in clearly show their interest in a certain object.
The reason why this female clerk immediately greeted Han Jiulin and Xiao Yuyan was not only because of the outstanding temperament displayed by the two of them when walking, but also had a lot to do with the fact that this female clerk had not been working here for a long time.
New store clerks always want to make great achievements and treat every customer who comes through the door with the utmost enthusiasm.
But the veteran understands that this kind of business often does not open for half a year and lasts for half a year after opening. There are very few customers who are really willing to spend money to buy items, especially big items.
Over time, I started to turn a blind eye to the guests who came in for a visit.
Han Jiulin casually looked at the various antique furnishings in the store, and replied quietly: "Just take a look."
Xiao Yuyan seemed to be prepared, her eyes lit up, and she came to an ancient shelf with various kinds of porcelain, and carefully looked at every piece of porcelain on the ancient shelf.
At the same time, she said to Han Jiulin: "I heard that old man Qin Guan loves calligraphy, painting and porcelain, but he has always been frugal and upright. If he really wants to buy expensive porcelain, he might not accept it. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Han Jiulin nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's best to choose a cheaper one and just express your feelings."
After receiving Han Jiulin's confirmation, Xiao Yuyan felt relieved. She looked left and right, and finally fixed her gaze on a small porcelain jar.
This porcelain jar has a light green cracked porcelain surface with two small brown animals on it, namely a snake and a mouse.
The nameplate underneath the porcelain reads: Qing Dynasty Ge Kiln Snake and Rat Jar.
Snake and rat jars became popular since the Song Dynasty, which reflected the tolerance and absorption of the culture of the Western Regions at that time, and had the effect of warding off evil spirits, suppressing houses, and collecting treasures.
This jar has a beautiful shape, gorgeous patterns, and superb relief art. If it is really an object from the Qing Dynasty, it would be extremely valuable for collection.
The most important thing is that porcelain from the Qing Dynasty is relatively cheaper and far less expensive than the antique porcelain handed down from the Tang and Song dynasties.
Xiao Yuyan stretched out her finger with some fondness, touched the embossed rat on the porcelain jar, and said with a smile: "Rat is naturally afraid of snakes, so they stay together with snakes. Doesn't this have a different meaning?"
The beautiful clerk stood aside and explained with a smile: "Snakes and rats are creatures that cannot coexist. Putting them together symbolizes the good wish of harmony.
All will be well with the family."
"Well, it's just that I have to take a closer look to see if it's porcelain from the Qing Dynasty."
Xiao Yuyan was talking and asked: "Is it okay if I pick it up and take a look?"
The beautiful clerk nodded and said: "Of course, no problem. You can go to the table and take a look, and I'll pour you two a cup of tea."
At this time, there was still nearly half an hour before the auction started, so Xiao Yuyan was not in a hurry. In addition, she really liked the snake and rat jar, so she picked up the jar and came to the tea table with Han Jiulin.
People sit down and watch and distinguish together.
The beautiful clerk also made each of them a cup of hot tea with a bright yellow color.
At this moment, two people walked in from the door. The first one was a middle-aged man wearing a Tang suit and reading glasses hanging on his chest.
The man looked to be in his fifties or sixties, and he was holding a paper fan in his hand, giving him the appearance of an old scholar.
Next to the man, there is a young man in his twenties. This young man is wearing a high-end luxury custom-made casual suit, which suits his figure very well. Just the million-level Patek Philippe watch on his wrist is enough to show off his figure.
His wealth.
However, this young man has a horse face, small eyes and a big nose. No matter how well he is dressed, he can only be described as ugly.
The middle-aged man in front looked polite. After arriving at the door of Gu Yuzhai, he nodded and bowed to the horse-faced young man and said, "Master Mo, please come in quickly."
The horse-faced young man walked into Gu Yu Zhai with a smile. He turned his eyes inside and looked at the beautiful clerk. A smile appeared on his face and he said to the middle-aged man: "Yes, I told you before.
That's the clerk, and I came to see her."
The middle-aged man said: "Her name is Ding Xinman. Mr. Mo, please sit inside and I'll let her have a good chat with you."
"Well, boss Nian has taken the trouble."
The horse-faced young man nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, the beautiful clerk looked up and saw the middle-aged man and the horse-faced young man. Her face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Uncle Nian."
The beautiful clerk first glared at the horse-faced young man, and then nodded to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man said: "Xiao Ding, this is the young master of the Mo family in the capital. Master Mo, he came here this time specifically to see you. Please have a good chat with Master Mo."
The horse-faced young man didn't care about the hostile look cast by the beautiful clerk. He smiled and came to the beautiful clerk, pretending to be affectionate and said: "Miss Ding, the last time I saw you, my soul seemed to be attracted by you."
It's like I've been hooked away. I haven't seen you for a few days. I don't think about tea and food. All I can think about is you.
Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
These words can be said to be extremely frank.
As he spoke, he lowered his head and glanced at Han Jiulin and Xiao Yuyan.
At this time, Han Jiulin and Xiao Yuyan both had their backs to him, sitting at the tea table drinking tea and looking at the snake and rat jar.
He felt that since he was confessing his love to Ding Xinman at this time, Han Jiulin and Xiao Yuyan should be aware of current affairs and leave here.
Seeing that the two people didn't react at all and were still sitting under their noses, they suddenly felt extremely annoying.
Therefore, after he finished his confession, before Ding Xinman could reply or react, he already reached out to Han Jiulin's shoulder and patted him gently or hard.
Then, he said in an angry tone: "Hey, don't you two have eyes? Didn't you see us talking about love here?
