Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 841 Courageous

After understanding all this, Gu Chan asked.

"Madam Boss, who was the previous owner of this black jade pendant?"

"Wow! What good eyesight the little girl has!" said the proprietress with a stiff face.

As the saying goes, we are not afraid of those who buy goods, but we are afraid of those who understand goods.

Just now she thought that Gu Chan knew nothing about antiques and was just a girl with some money. But judging from the current situation, she was indeed wrong.

This little girl in front of me is probably really smart.

Gu Chan smiled and said, "These three things should have been worn by physical practitioners. The only difference is that the owners of the first two items are weaker, while the owner of this black jade pendant is very powerful. Am I right?"

"In that case, I'll tell you the truth! The previous owners of these three items are all dead, and their descendants brought them to me to sell," explained the proprietress.

"What a pity! If their descendants continued to admire these three things, it would help them in their future cultivation." Gu Chan sighed.

The proprietress said disdainfully, "Little girl, aren't you from our Diyue country? Don't you know that our Diyue country doesn't focus on physical training?"

"I came here from Yexing Country to do business, so of course I don't know." Gu Chan said cunningly.

"So that's how it is! Okay then! I won't say much more, just tell me what you like. If you really want to buy it, we can negotiate the price." said the proprietress.

Gu Chan laughed, "I never like to make choices. Since I can meet them here, it is fate, so I want all three of them."

"Good, you have courage. I admire you." The proprietress gave a thumbs up and praised.

Gu Chan didn't bother talking to her at all. She directly ordered Xuan Xiao to take out another three thousand taels of silver notes. Together with the five thousand taels of silver notes just now, a total of eight thousand taels of silver notes were placed on the counter.

The proprietress was stunned.

She has been in the antique business for a long time, but this is the first time she has encountered a buyer like Gu Chan.

Gu Chan pointed at the eight thousand taels of silver note and said, "I'll give you eight thousand taels of silver for these three things. If you want, I'll take them away now. If not, I won't take any of them and will go to the next store to buy them."

"No, I don't bargain like you do! This jade pendant of mine must be sold for at least 10,000 taels of silver..."

"Sorry to bother you, boss lady." Gu Chan didn't wait for her to speak, she just clasped her fists and saluted, then put away the banknotes, turned around and left with Xuan Xiao.

The lady boss got angry instantly! She rushed over to hold Gu Chan back and said, "Stop! Let's talk about it. You can add a little more. Eight thousand taels is really a little too little. I will lose money!"

"No need to talk." Gu Chan said without turning her head.

"Oh! Okay, okay, I'll just take the loss! I'll give you eight thousand taels. How can you buy things like this? I'm so mad at you." The proprietress said pretending to be angry.

After saying that, she immediately reached out and snatched the stack of banknotes from Gu Chan's hand, then stepped aside and began to count them.

Gu Chan winked at Xuan Xiao.

Xuan Xiao understood and quickly stepped forward to cover the three small brocade boxes, put them into his sleeves one by one, and then walked out of the shop with Gu Chan.

At this time, the proprietress caught up and said, "Girl, wait a minute."

"What's wrong? Not enough banknotes?" Gu Chan asked with a frown.

"No, it's exactly eight thousand taels, no more, no less. I just want to ask what your name is. After all, it's really hard for me to meet a buyer like you. It's okay for us to be friends in the future!" said the proprietress in a friendly manner.

"My name is Gu Pan'er." Gu Chan said with a smile. The proprietress put the banknotes in her arms and put them away. She walked forward, stretched out her hand and held Gu Chan's hand and said, "Miss Pan'er, my name is Hua Yao. If you want to buy antiques in the future, remember to come to me. I will give you a cheaper price then."

"Okay, then Sister Yao, I'll leave first." Gu Chan said with a bow.

"Are you going to the Chen family to visit the head of the Chen family now?" Hua Yao asked.

Gu Chan nodded.

Hua Yao blinked and said, "Then you better be careful. When you get there, let your men go in and deliver the things. After they pay the customs fee, they can leave. You don't have to go in."

"Why?" Gu Chan asked puzzledly.

"Don't ask too many questions, just listen to me." Hua Yao smiled.

After saying that, she reached out and patted Gu Chan's shoulder, then turned and went into the shop.

Gu Chan left with Xuan Xiao with a puzzled look on her face. At this moment, they were all confused and had no idea what was going on.

After dark, the two finally arrived outside the Chen Mansion after asking for directions.

The Chen family is worthy of being the number one wealthy family in Xinyue City. This mansion alone is larger than the City Lord's Mansion and is built very luxuriously. Even the two big characters "Chen Mansion" on the plaque at the door are carved in pure gold.

Xuan Xiao looked at the Chen Mansion in front of him in shock for a while, then whispered, "Miss, do you want to listen to the boss lady?"

"Listen! As the saying goes, listen to people's advice and have a full meal. I'll be waiting outside, you can go in." Gu Chan said.

Xuan Xiao nodded and asked, "What should we give him?"

"Take them out and let him choose! Just say that you got these three treasures with great difficulty, and you were originally planning to take them to Kyoto to give to a certain adult. But seeing that Patriarch Chen made such a contribution to Crescent City, you admired him very much, so you let him take one first to show your respect. Anyway, you can make up a story based on the situation! You have to learn how to flatter someone without leaving any traces!" Gu Chan taught.

Xuan Xiao's eyes widened as he heard this and he said, "As expected of you, Miss. I have really learned another trick from you."

"Go quickly." Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

After saying that, she reached into the bag on her waist, took out the golden pass document and stuffed it into Xuan Xiao's arms.

Xuan Xiao walked forward in a swagger, while Gu Chan walked to the open space over there and stood there waiting quietly.

But what she and Xuan Xiao didn't expect was that the head of the Chen family was out on business at the moment and would not be back until a while. The guard at the gate directly asked Xuan Xiao to wait in the lobby in the front yard first.

Xuan Xiao had no choice but to obediently go into the lobby and wait. When he entered the lobby, he found that there were already more than a dozen people sitting on both sides of the lobby. Obviously, these people were here to visit the head of the Chen family, and he and Gu Chan were just one of these people.

As a result, he was not nervous at all and waited quietly with these people.

About half an hour later, a luxurious sedan chair carried by eight people slowly stopped at the gate of Chen's mansion.

The sedan bearers pushed down the sedan and opened the curtain. A middle-aged man in his forties, fat and big-eared, came out clumsily and walked towards the door supported by servants.

And he is none other than Chen Ruzhou, the current head of the Chen family.

"Sir, more than a dozen merchants have arrived and are waiting for you in the lobby in the front yard!" the guard at the gate came forward and reported.

Chen Ruzhou nodded proudly and walked forward slowly.

But just as he was about to step into the gate of Chen Mansion, he paused and noticed Gu Chan standing far away in the open space on the right.

The next second, his eyes suddenly widened, excitement flashed on his face, and he couldn't even walk.
