The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 571 Lafayette’s Bracelet
"Only 80 yuan, I bought it." Bai Meixi agreed immediately after hearing the price. For her, the value of this piece of cinnabar ink does not lie in itself, but in the three paintings that are about to be completed. , she will buy it no matter how expensive it is.

"Comrade Xiaobai, you don't need that much money. I have helped people sell this kind of cinnabar ink a few years ago. The price is less than half of this. At most, 40 yuan is enough."

Xu Yimao worked hard to protect Bai Meixi's interests. As an excellent broker, he must help his clients to obtain the maximum rights and interests. What's more, what Mr. Fu has in his hands is shady. If he misses Bai Meixi, he may be in trouble for a year and a half. Zai Ye can't find the next buyer. If he doesn't bargain with him now, how long will he wait?

"How can their things compare to mine? These are the ones used by the emperor, real imperial tributes. The ones in their hands are defective products. They are mixed with a piece of cinnabar ink to make a few pieces. On the surface, they look similar. In fact, Problems will be discovered as soon as you use it, and it can only be used to deceive laymen.”

Mr. Fu was very confident in his own things. He bowed to Bai Meixi and said that he would not bargain here, otherwise it would tarnish the majesty of the royal family.

Although he has been in decline these years, he is still an innocent child and will never ruin his reputation for petty gains.

"What age has it been? You still have the majesty of the royal family, but you died early in the morning. Don't always act like a big steward. If others see you, you won't even have the job of sweeping the floor now."

Xu Yimao asked Mr. Fu to figure out the situation. Everything in his house was stolen and should be confiscated according to current laws. By then he would not be able to get anything and would have to go to jail.

When Mr. Fu asked him to sell something before, he was reluctant. He had long heard that Mr. Fu was a very troublesome person. Many brokers were unwilling to take his business, if not for the fact that the things in his hands were pretty good. , he will never bring guests here.

"You two, stop arguing. I think this piece of cinnabar ink is worth this price. It's 80 yuan as Mr. Fu said." Bai Meixi doesn't care about the 40 yuan. Mr. Fu will definitely not only have it in the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years. As simple as a piece of cinnabar ink, this person is definitely worth paying attention to.

"It's your pleasure, madam. I'll take out the cinnabar ink right now." When Mr. Fu heard that Bai Meixi didn't counter-offer, he immediately showed a arrogant expression to Xu Yimao.

But he also felt some faint regret in his heart. He could see that Bai Meixi had a lot of money and felt that he should ask for more money, but he still had the most basic professionalism. Once the price was finalized, it could not be changed.

He obediently took out the piece of cinnabar ink from a secret compartment and handed it to Bai Meixi. "Madam, this thing will be yours from now on."

Bai Meixi was stunned after taking the piece of cinnabar ink. She finally understood how expensive this piece of cinnabar ink was. The piece of cinnabar ink was actually made very delicately, with dragons and phoenixes carved on the surface. It was such a piece of art that even she began to be reluctant to use it.

She took the piece of cinnabar ink and stroked it carefully. The piece of cinnabar had a very ancient sense of age. It looked like it had gone through many years and was full of vicissitudes.

"Mr. Fu, bring out whatever good things you have. This is a distinguished guest, and I can keep an eye on her. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take to get such a distinguished guest next time."

When Xu Yimao saw Bai Meixi handing 80 yuan to Mr. Fu, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at the hidden compartment. When Mr. Fu opened the secret compartment just now, he saw a red sandalwood box. Something should be worth more than this piece of cinnabar ink. "Hmph, I don't need your attention to my things." Mr. Fu knows the rules of finding a broker. If Xu Yimao introduces him to the business, he will take 80% of the profit. Now with the 72 yuan, he can only After taking [-] yuan, if he took out the contents of the red sandalwood box, he would lose even more money.

This is a rule in this industry, which is equivalent to modern agency fees, so when he raised the price, he also asked for the money that needed to be paid to Xu Yimao. Only in this way did he not suffer a loss.

Mr. Fu's attitude towards Xu Yimao became more and more indifferent, and he did not want to deal with Bai Meixi in front of him, but Xu Yimao had no intention of leaving, and did not allow Bai Meixi to have private contact with him, so Mr. Fu just Neng reluctantly took out the red sandalwood box.

"Today I will open your eyes."

There are really good things in the red sandalwood box. They are a pair of jade bracelets, which are all green and make people like it. Bai Meixi couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch it. Unexpectedly, Mr. Fu took the red sandalwood box into his arms. They don't want anyone else to touch them.

"This is Cixi Lafayette's belongings and cannot be touched casually. Lafayette had 8 pairs of beloved jade bracelets at the time. She took 7 pairs into the coffin and buried them with her. Grave robbers lost them overseas. They are the only ones left in the world. This pair is the only one left. Lafayette gave it to Eunuch Li, but I got it with great difficulty."

Mr. Fu looked at the bracelet in trance and muttered something. It was obvious that he really loved the bracelet. Even he couldn't bear to touch it. He only dared to admire it in the red sandalwood box.

"Mr. Fu, I like this bracelet very much. I wonder if you are willing to part with it?" Bai Meixi was immediately interested when she heard that it belonged to the Empress Dowager Cixi. The price of things that were left out of the palace in modern society would be higher than The ones from private kilns cost several times, not to mention the ones worn by the Queen Mother, which are even more valuable.If she could get this pair of bracelets in her pocket, her trip to the capital would be complete.

"If you buy it, I can consider it, but you have to treat these treasures well." Mr. Fu has kept the bracelet because he also loves this pair of bracelets, but he is a lonely old man and has no The descendants will not live long, so they have to save some money for self-defense. There is really no use guarding a dead thing.

"I will definitely keep it well. Just ask me the price. I know this is a valuable treasure." Bai Meixi vowed repeatedly that she would never let the national treasure wander overseas, so Mr. Fu agreed to sell it to her.

"The price, including the box, is 800 yuan." Mr. Fu pondered for a moment before giving the price. It was obvious that he had carefully considered it.

The price was acceptable to Bai Meixi, but Xu Yimao, who was standing aside, took a breath of air and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why is it so expensive!"

Everyone in the collecting world knows that jewelry is now the least valuable category. If it is gold or the like, it can still maintain its value, but there is no mark on jade. Mr. Fu said it was from Cixi Lafayette, but no one can prove it. , it cannot be counted as an antique at all.

"Huh, you're a layman and you can't tell. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, I didn't even sell anyone for 2000 yuan." Mr. Fu snorted, feeling that Xu Yimao was too angry to be brought to the table. He turned to look at Bai Bai beside him. Mei Xi, let her make her own decision, don't let this kid drag her down and miss out on good things.
