The heavens start from Maoshan

Chapter 6

"It's hard to say when you marry a daughter-in-law. When you come back this time, you two brothers will have four dollars. If you like a girl, tell me that I will be a matchmaker for you."

Xiao Kui looks like sixteen or seventeen.

But in this era, Sixteen Seven is already an adult and can marry a daughter-in-law.

"Mr. Heng, you have to keep your word. When my brother has a sweetheart in the future, you can't ignore him."

Compared to Xiao Kui, who blushed with shame, Dakui, the older brother, is much more shrewd.

He had already heard of Zhang Heng's name, and he knew that this was the eldest man from Nanyang. He couldn't say that the wealth of his two brothers was in this uncle Heng.

"No problem, you will find me when the time comes."

Zhang Heng was also very happy.

It's only been a few days since I came back. Zhang Zhentian, Zhang Dandan, Zhang Zhenhu, Dakui, Xiaokui, these are the five available people.

Coupled with the 30 people behind him, there is also a skeleton for building a militia in the future. It's not like being stupid, carrying a box of jewelry, and looking for a reliable pawnshop by yourself.

There are a few simple people who can do pawnshops.

You got lucky the first time, what about the second, third, fourth time?

The rootless Ping, being looked upon by a few local hooligans, will be taken care of by others.

Unless, like some protagonists of novels, there are noble people to help you when you are in trouble, all kinds of shocks, all kinds of slaps in the face, or the risk factor is too high.

It's better to use the power of the clan to fight steadily.

After all, in ancient times, the clan was the closest relationship, known as a century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, and it depended on unity.

"Where is the largest pawnshop in the county?"

In the afternoon, when everyone rushed to the county seat, the first thing Zhang Heng asked was the pawnshop.

"East Street, Lifa Pawnshop."

Zhang Zhentian answered without thinking.

"How about word of mouth, and what forces are behind it?"

"The word of mouth is okay, but behind the scenes"

Zhang Zhentian said with a slight pause: "It is said that the old shopkeeper of Lifa Pawnshop has a daughter who is the third concubine of Head Qi who is stationed in Huizhou."

"Captain Qi?"

Zhang Heng frowned slightly: "Which commander Qi?"

"The Guangdong Army has newly created the Second Army, but this head of Qi is a bandit who was recruited by An Cheng." Zhang Zhentian paused: "After Xu Zhichong established the Second Army of the Guangdong Army, he was appointed an official to win over him. It's been a while, just a few months ago."

"A bandit leader who was recruited is not yet in sight."

Zhang Heng thought about it for a while, and then he made up his mind, and ordered, "The others are waiting at a teahouse on East Street, Huzi, you go and ask about weapons, Zhang Dandan, Dakui, Xiaokui, you all come with me. Lifa Pawnshop."

The pawnshops of these years cannot be done without the relationship between the military and the government.

Compared with the others, Captain Qi, who was recruited by the bandits, was not very afraid of Zhang Heng.

Because Colonel Qi had just joined the Guangdong Army right now, and it was time to clamp his tail. He couldn't leave the station without permission. Huizhou is also [-] miles away from Yangjiang. Who the hell cares about a bandit captain who is [-] miles away.

"The shopkeeper, it's not good, the one with the gun surrounded our shop."

In the Lifa pawnshop, the shopkeeper was taking a nap on the table when he was awakened by the young man.

"With a gun?"

The shopkeeper panicked when he heard it: "Bandits or officers and soldiers?"

They are pawnshops, not afraid of local hooligans, but afraid of officers and soldiers and bandits with guns.

The former you have no reason to reason, the latter can only save money and avoid disasters.

"neither."

Open the bead curtain.

Zhang Heng took everyone into the pawnshop.

"Then who are you?"

The shopkeeper was a little intimidated, because the two of them were carrying guns, so they didn't look like a good stubble.

"My name is Zhang Heng, I came from the Zhang family in Dagou Town, and I just came back from Nanyang."

"The money is a bit tight now. I heard that the Lifa pawnshop has the best reputation. It just so happens that I have a good product in my hand. Can you help me?"

With that said, Zhang Heng took out a bamboo box and put it on the table to signal the shopkeeper to take a look.

The shopkeeper is the scene person, of course he will not be unaware of the Zhang family in Dagou Town.

After hearing the sound, he looked at brothers Xiaokui and Xiaokui, and then looked at the four Zhang clan members who were standing at the door with guns, and whispered, "Is Mr. Zhang Dahai okay?"

"That's my father."

Zhang Zhentian bowed his hands and recognized this identity.

When the shopkeeper heard this, his dangling heart was relieved a little, and then he greeted the man to get the copper basin, while flatteringly said: "This is a good baby, you can't use it easily, otherwise it will get dirty and wrinkled, and the guests will come and go. But not lightly."

"The shopkeeper, here comes the water."

The young man was an apprentice, only fifteen or sixteen years old.

The shopkeeper washed his hands first, then wiped it carefully, and then carefully opened the box.

hiss! !

As soon as the box was opened, the shopkeeper took a deep breath.

Into the eye, there is a wooden box in the box, and inside the box is an eight-inch high, high-quality white jade Guanyin.

"Good baby, rare item!"

The shopkeeper didn't dare to pick it up for the first time, so he took out the magnifying glass and observed it carefully, carefully stroking the jade body.

Zhang Heng watched with trepidation.

This Jade Avalokitesvara was a high imitation made by him at a certain jade shop at a cost of 3 yuan.

The store said it was a high imitation Hetian mutton fat jade. Although the jade is artificially synthesized, it cannot be distinguished without modern instruments.

Whether it is the delicateness of the material itself, or the feel after getting started, it is exactly the same as the real Hetian mutton fat jade.

The only thing that makes people feel fake is such a large jade Guanyin. If it is a treasure, it is definitely a national treasure. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that it is wrong.

At that time, if I check it with modern instruments, I will soon be able to tell that it was carved out of a large piece of artificial suet jade, and it is a fake.

But it's a fake, and it's worth [-] to [-] yuan.

As far as this sculptor is concerned, it looks like a master's handwriting, and that kind of Shen Yun machine can't be carved.

"Good stuff!"

The shopkeeper sighed again and again, and then couldn't help but ask, "Where did this thing come from?"

Zhang Heng replied, "I brought it back from Nanyang."

"Things are good things, but it's a pity that the carving skills are not enough, and they are still short of heat."

The shopkeeper picked up the jade Guanyin and carefully pondered it in the sun: "This carving should come from a master, but for such a beautiful jade, how can ordinary masters be skilled enough, at least a master jade craftsman should be hired, please. If you don't come to the master, don't blindly sculpt it, wait a moment, such a treasure, it is worth waiting for the last three or five years! It's a pity, a pity."

Zhang Heng listened to each sentence, the heart hanging in his throat was gone.

It doesn't matter if there are flaws, he is not afraid of flaws, just don't be seen as true or false.

"The shopkeeper, you have also looked at the things, and you can make a price when you see it."

Zhang Heng sat on a chair and took a sip from the teacup on the table.

"Change the tea, go and change the tea."

The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand to the young man, and after the young man left, he stretched out three fingers: "How about this number?"

"What is this number, three hundred, three thousand, or thirty thousand?"

Zhang Heng put down the teacup: "You won't make fun of me, will you?"

"How dare I!"

The shopkeeper looked at Yu Guanyin from the corner of his eyes, and said reluctantly: "It stands to reason that if I buy you and sell it, I have to belittle you to death, and you are worthless, so I can make an offer."

"But this thing makes me belittle me, I really can't open my mouth."

"That is, it is not famous. When Lafayette is still there, [-]% of them can enter the palace."

The shopkeeper pondered a little, and asserted: "I think so, I don't have much money in my shop, only [-] yuan. Why don't you wait for me for a while, I'll look for it, borrow it, and collect [-] yuan for you?"

Zhang Heng did not answer.

The shopkeeper was anxious when he saw it. The things were so good that he liked them so much that he couldn't bear to leave Zhang Heng: "If the master of the jade craftsman makes a move, this Guanyin can be worth one hundred thousand oceans, but it's not, idiots ruined the treasure."

"You are too few. If you go elsewhere, I am afraid that few can be higher than [-]."

"You can also see that there is a lot of chaos outside now, and the valuables are real gold and silver. Antique jade is not very popular. Unless you really like it, you won't be able to give it this price."
