Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 987 I asked you to come and see the porcelain, but you actually bought a house with it
In Qin Huairu's heart, Chu Xiangqian thinks that Banggeng will not have any future, which means he really doesn't think highly of Banggeng.

From now on, don’t even think about getting a good job under Chu Xiangqian.

It’s hard to say whether Chu Xiangqian is willing to give Banggeng a chance.

He just wanted to plead for his son again. After all, Qin Huairu had followed Chu Xiangqian for more than ten years.

Knowing that what he has decided is extremely difficult to change.

I felt discouraged, but also a little unwilling.

After all, he is my own son. How can I just give up on him?

However, she told Chu Xiangqian that he should find a wife for Banggeng as soon as possible and have more grandchildren to raise well.

Suddenly there was hope again.

Anyway, I am only in my early 40s. When my grandson grows up, I will be only 60 years old. There is still time.

Unexpectedly, Lou Xiao'e advised, "Sister Huairu, it's not a bad thing for the child to not have great abilities.

Look at me, I have lived a heartless life.

Isn’t it a good life?”

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes after hearing this. When her good sister was still a girl, she relied on her wealthy parents.

Life is carefree.

When she grew up, although she married the wrong person, she was beautiful and attracted Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian was also very relieved and fond of her, as she was a simple-minded person.

I have not had to worry about food and clothing for more than ten years, and my life is very stable.

The only thing that made Lou Xiao'e feel dissatisfied was that she was unable to give birth to a child for Chu Xiangqian.

But even Lou Xiao'e herself always felt that there was something wrong with her body.

Needless to say, Chu Xiangqian has a lot of children.

Xu Damao also had a child with a widow, which immediately cleared Xu Damao of the suspicion of being the extinct family.

Over the years, Chu Xiangqian has been hesitating whether to give Lou Xiaoe a child.

As long as he is willing to send Lou Xiao'e to Hong Kong Island, the issue of having a child out of wedlock will not be a problem.

But Chu Xiangqian did not help Lou Xiaoe get her wish in the end.

Fortunately, this girl had already accepted the fact that she could not get pregnant.

Lou Xiao'e also knew that what she said just now seemed a bit cocky in front of Qin Huairu.

He hurriedly added, "Anyway, we are not short of money, let alone Banggeng and his wife, even if we give you ten or eight grandchildren.

You can feed them at will.

So, don’t always think that children have to surpass their parents.

As long as Banggeng is filial and has a stable job, everything else will not be a big problem.

In the future, Banggeng’s children will also be my grandchildren.

We both put our hearts and minds on them, which is definitely better than the stick terrier raised by your grandmother."

Qin Huairu nodded repeatedly after listening.

He held Lou Xiao'e's hand, looked grateful and thanked her repeatedly.

Chu Xiangqian showed a surprised expression to Lou Xiao'e. He didn't expect that this silly woman could see things so clearly.

There have been few cases from ancient times to the present where the second generation has surpassed the first generation.

No matter how capable a person is, he will eventually find that his children are no match for him.

However, some children are naughty and do not study when they are young, and they seem to be useless.

But after entering society, he felt like a duck in water and made a name for himself.

But Chu Xiangqian knows the current joke, although it is a little different from the one in the TV series.

But this kid was disciplined too late, and his character had already been formed. No matter how he was disciplined, it would be difficult to change him.

So according to what Lou Xiao'e said, it is actually a good thing for this kid to live his life in peace and stability.

Chu Xiangqian echoed and said a few words, which were indeed more useful than Lou Xiao'e's words.

It’s just that Chu Xiangqian hasn’t paid much attention to Korean memes for many years, so he made a mistake this time.

There is a high probability that Banggeng will be an unfilial person in the future, but to say that he is incompetent depends on who he is compared with.

Compared with Jingrong, Jingshun and other talented kids from the Chu family, there is definitely no comparison.

But compared with children from ordinary families in Beijing, they are actually about the same.

Even if you give him a chance, maybe he can achieve something.

What Qin Huairu herself didn't know was that her son's mind was no longer on work.

The three masters of the Siheyuan, Qin Huairu, and even Jia Zhang all made money from antiques.

A few years ago, when the capital was in turmoil, no one dared to say a word.

But in the past four or five years, many things have become much more relaxed than before.

The three uncles usually get together and talk about antiques.

Or going out to pick up junk is actually collecting antiques.

By the way, the worthless things collected were sold to second-hand goods purchasing stations at the price of junk.

Now the children of the Yan family and the Liu family are very familiar with the prices of these waste products.

Naturally, it will also affect other children in the yard.

Jia Zhang even dared to go to the countryside in Banggeng for three years. After returning to the capital, she whispered with him at home about which antiques were valuable and which were easiest to sell.

As for how to identify, Jia Zhang didn't know much.

But she has handled a lot of copper coins, and with the experience accumulated over the years, she is no worse than some professionals in identifying the authenticity of copper coins.

Over the past ten years, I have handled quite a few porcelains, calligraphy and paintings.

Since last year, the wind direction has changed for the better.

This old woman has dared to go to the ghost market. When she sees someone selling copper coins, she can basically tell whether they are real or fake and whether they are good or bad just by taking a few glances.

You can occasionally find bargains on porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.

In addition, in that era, counterfeiting had not yet become popular, so one could make a lot of money by visiting the spooky streets.

Of course, in the past ten years or so, Jia Zhang has suffered many losses.

The ability I have now is the result of repeated success and gradual growth.

So when this old woman was walking around the strange street, she only looked at copper coins, and everything else she just looked at without asking the price.

Even copper coins follow their own principles.

Don’t buy the expensive ones.

If you are not sure, don't take a gamble.

Qin Huairu also mentioned repeatedly that the price of antiques sold privately is three to five times cheaper than that sold in consignment stores.

When the market is not good, it is common to buy at 10% or 20% of the price.

So no matter how good the items are, Jia Zhang has already gotten used to bargaining to the death.

Anything, as long as it is similar to something from the commission shop.

The consignment store sells it for 100 yuan, but Jia Zhang's psychological limit is 20 yuan at most.

With this mentality, even the best copper coins would be worth it as long as the price exceeded her expectations.

No matter how good the other party says, I won’t buy it.

So it is easy to cheat her, but it is extremely difficult to cheat money from her.

With her years of experience, she had no problem teaching Banggeng to play with coins.

But the two of them were originally grandparents and grandchildren, and now they are master and apprentice. Naturally, they are more influenced by Jia Zhang in their way of dealing with people.

A few years ago, Qin Huairu, with the advice of Chu Xiangqian, went to Huaxiang Farm in Beijing to work in the countryside for three years.

After finding connections in the street and getting this kid a position as a neighborhood committee clerk, he was able to return to the capital. In fact, this kid had already started helping Jia Zhangshi, going from street to street to collect copper coins.

Even though Qin Huairu was no longer concerned about the copper coins because of Chu Xiangqian's thoughts.

But if he really comes across a rare treasure, Chu Xiangqian would be willing to pay for it.

Although the money was in Qin Huairu's hands, he would take a commission when giving it to Jia Zhangshi.

But in general, it is much more expensive than the black market.

As for consignment shops, they say the items are commissioned by customers and the prices are also set by the customers.

But in reality, state-owned stores also have profit requirements.

Master Gong Changqing once told Chu Xiangqian that they actually bought antiques directly from customers.

Then raise the price and put it up for sale.

Unless it is a really excellent item and people are unwilling to sell it to you, you will actually entrust the sale to them.

But if the item is really good, it will be bought privately before it is put on the market.

This is also the reason why the master has such extensive connections in the Beijing collection circle.

After Banggeng received the first payment of 5 yuan from his grandmother, his mind immediately turned to how to collect the copper coins.

The kid's salary at the time was only 15 yuan, but he earned 30 yuan by exchanging dozens of copper coins for two packs of cigarettes from his fellow villagers at Huaxiang Farm.

His mentality immediately became the same as Jia Zhang's back then, and he was completely focused on how to make money.

However, the locals in Beijing, and even the folks in the surrounding towns and villages, are no longer so easy to fool.

Even children know that old things are valuable.

That's why Jia Zhang ran to Guishi.

Banggeng, on the other hand, often went to towns around the capital.

Or just visit old houses.

There are countless old things buried or hidden underground in the capital and under the residents' houses.

Even in the 1990s, there were antique dealers who specialized in buying out old houses.

It’s easier to come across good things these days.

As for Qin Huairu's desire to find a wife for Banggeng, Chu Xiangqian felt that Banggeng would never be able to get married.

It's entirely because Qin Huairu, as a mother, has money and is very proud of herself, so she has high expectations when looking at the little girl.

Moreover, in recent years, Ai Qiu would go back to Beijing every year to celebrate the New Year. The more Qin Huairu looked at Ai Qiu, the more he felt that if Ai Qiu could be his wife, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

But after she said this to Lou Xiao'e, she told her to stop dreaming.

Not to mention Chu Xiangqian, his second uncle, second aunt, Aiguo and Ailin would never marry their daughter or sister to Banggeng.

Even if Chu Xiangqian knew about it, he might scold or even beat Qin Huairu.

And given the relationship between Chu Xiangqian and Qin Huairu, if Ai Qiuzhen married Banggeng, then Banggeng would become his brother-in-law.

From now on, when you see Qin Huairu, you have to call her aunt.

When Qin Huairu heard this, the first thought in her mind was that she would definitely not leave Chu Xiangqian.

Even in this life, I can't live without this man.

As for Jing Yu, who occasionally went to the Siheyuan for dinner with Jing Rong and Jing Shun, Qin Huairu didn't even dare to think about it.

I never thought about it that way.

Qin Huairu actually said that she was worried about her son, but in reality, as a mother, she did not understand her son Banggeng.

When children grow up, they actually won’t tell their parents many things.

Banggeng returned to Beijing two years ago and worked as a clerk in the neighborhood committee. He had only been working for more than a month, but he actually already had a girlfriend.

In the eyes of many people, being a clerk in a neighborhood committee is already a good job.

But this boy followed the example of Jia Zhang, who attached great importance to money and was a bit stingy. He broke up with the girl after dating for only two months.

After that, I dated a few more people, but none of them lasted long, so my family didn't know about it.

I haven't really met a girl like that who really makes my heart flutter and whom I want to marry.

It’s just that once a person’s luck is in place, it’s hard not to get rich.

After a few days, Banggeng hurried home to borrow money from Jia Zhang.

When she heard the price of 600 yuan, Jia Zhang's face changed immediately.

Although the money earned from Qin Huairu has exceeded 20,000 over the years.

But these days, 600 yuan is already one year's salary for a fourth or fifth level worker.

Jia Zhang has been working in the steel rolling mill for more than ten years, but she only earns 28 yuan a month.

So no matter how much she loved her grandson, Jia Zhang was reluctant to spend so much money.

Not to mention, Jia Zhang just listened and decided in her heart that her grandson was set up by someone and was going to make a big fortune from him.

After a debate between the grandparents and grandson, Banggeng had to call his classmate Han Chunming over.

The two young men had to talk for a long time before they finally got Jia Zhang to agree to follow them to see the enameled five-colored vase with the patterns of fortune, longevity and wealth.

When she saw the bottle, Jia Zhang thought at first glance that it was exactly the same as the bottle in a color picture in the booklet that Qin Huairu brought home, which introduced porcelain from the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.

If this colorful bottle is real, in Qin Huairu's words, there is no pressure to buy it for 1 yuan.

If you meet a buyer you like, two or three thousand is not impossible.

Jia Zhang was also deeply impressed by this bottle.

But the old woman was cautious after all, and she didn't buy it right away even though the other party only offered 600 yuan.

I always feel that if this thing is real, it would never be my turn to take a look at it.

It has already been bought by an expert.

Banggeng didn't care about all this and saw that his grandmother still refused to help him.

He gritted his teeth, pulled Jia Zhang aside, and whispered, "Grandma, I still have more than 200 in my hand.

My classmate Chunming has dozens of them.

The two of us ask you to lend me 250.

If there is a loss, Chunming and I will take the responsibility. If I make a profit, I will pay you 300 yuan."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang curled her lips, thinking that this enamel bottle was really from the official kiln during the Qianlong period.

At least you can earn four or five hundred.

If Chu Xiangqian likes it, as Qin Huairu said, it wouldn't be difficult to double the money.

While Jia Zhang was still hesitating, there was a knock on the door.

After a while, a woman in her 30s came in with an old man.

As soon as the two sides met, Bang Geng, Han Chunmin, Jia Zhang and the old man all changed their expressions.

Then he glared at the couple in their 30s.

The owner actually knew that what he was doing was a bit unkind.

But although the couple had made up their mind to sell their ancestral property in the capital, as well as the old items hidden by their parents, they moved to Meiwu.

When Jia Zhang heard this, her mind immediately stopped paying attention to the porcelain.

Instead, he looked outside the house. This three-story house should have a yard of more than 300 square meters.

Looking at the main hall where I live in the central courtyard, it is not only well preserved, but the furniture and other things do not look like antiques.

But it is definitely from the Republic of China.

Thinking back to the past two days, Qin Huairu told me to walk around more when I have time.

If there is a suitable courtyard house, if you buy it, you won’t have to worry about where Banggeng’s wedding house and grandchildren will live in the future.

So when Jia Zhang thought this courtyard was good, she hurriedly asked, "You are going abroad, so how much do you plan to sell this courtyard for? Also, isn't it forbidden to buy and sell houses now?
If someone wants to buy it, how can it be transferred? "

Bang Geng, Han Chunmin, Old Man Guan and the couple were all stunned.
