Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 1316 Appreciation (2)
Walking on the bluestone road of the main street of Lishui City, there are people coming and going around. From time to time, there are coachmen shouting for people to give way to the carriages and horses. Occasionally, there are shopkeepers carrying heavy poles passing by. People’s faces are peaceful. affected by any war.

The shops on both sides are doing good business. Ever since Lishui City and Dazhou started trading, vendors from Dazhou can be seen here and there, speaking with a Kyoto accent. Every time Qingli hears it, she feels a sense of intimacy.

The antique street in the east of the city was opened for the first time today. Along the way, Qingli saw many merchants in the same direction as her, and some of them were in carriages.There are real goods and fake ones over there. If you have a discerning eye, you can make a lot of money with just one hand. Everyone may have this kind of mentality, so there are many people who go shopping for goods.

It was still early, and a large number of people gathered around some merchants as soon as they opened their stalls. Everyone was discussing some antique calligraphy and paintings, and there were different opinions on whether they were fakes or not. "Madam, do you need someone to introduce you? I have worked as a clerk in an antique shop, and I think I have the ability to discern."

As soon as Qingli arrived at the intersection with Nanny Yu and Mai Ya, a young man around 20 years old surrounded him.The man was dressed in tatters, with a few patches, but the starch was clean, his eyes were clear, and he looked shrewd.

The east of the city is basically a place where rich and noble people live. The people who come and go are either rich or noble, at least they are also wealthy people from small households. In the antique street, you need to pay five taels of silver per person to enter the venue, just to prevent too many people. , incidents such as robbery and theft occurred.

Five taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to live for a year. Some ordinary people who want to watch the fun but can't afford the money can only jump around the entrance and watch with envious expressions on their faces.

Qingli pulled the veil under the hood with her hands, and asked doubtfully, "You mean, I will pay you for it?"

"The young one is called Li Er, and he lives in the west of the city. He can help you identify the authenticity of antiques. You know that although the young one has skills, he doesn't have the money to buy it. Even the entry fee of five taels of silver can't afford it." .”

This man named Li Er rubbed his clothes with his hands, and he spoke neither humble nor overbearing, and he did not appear servile because of poverty. This behavior caught Qingli's attention.

Unexpectedly, there would be such a profession at this time. Qingli thought that there would be many such people. She paused at the door and found that only Li Er was soliciting customers, and she had a crush on Qingli.

"You are very good at finding people, and you took aim at me at a glance. Could it be that I am a girl who is easier to talk to?"

Qingli smiled slightly, and shook the round fan a few times, the weather is too hot, this place happens to be directly under the sun, and it is easy to pass out if you stand for a while.

"Ma'am, don't get me wrong."

Li Er gave a salute, pointed to Qingli's hairpin and said, "Ma'am, there is no such thing as a headdress of yours that cannot be bought for a thousand taels of silver. These are all on the bright side, not just the pearls inlaid on the shoes under your feet." Produced in Dazhou, it is the oriental pearl of the Wuyun Kingdom in the south of Dazhou. It is bright in color and round. This pair probably costs a hundred taels, and you..."

Qingli's dress has always been relatively low-key, and this time she deliberately did so. Just a jade pendant on her skirt corner is worth a lot, and each piece is a boutique, and that jade pendant was a gift from the empress Ruan Ranran. Li Er not only estimated the value, Also named Qing Li's identity.

"It's interesting, so I'll invite you."

It was only ten taels of silver in total, so I just invited a tour guide to relieve the boredom, Qing Li didn't care, and walked towards the door with Nanny Yu, Mai Ya and Li Er. His jaw was almost stunned, any random antique, even if it was a counterfeit, would be enough to buy a few servants.

There are many merchants in Antique Street. Some big merchants don’t bother to display their curios, so they built a small shed and set up an entrance. If guests want to appreciate it, they need to enter through the entrance.

No one cares about such a mysterious business, and everyone thinks it must be a fake if it hides its head and tail, so they dare not put it under the blue sky and let everyone discuss it.Some small stalls attract many customers.

Bodhi strings, all kinds of emeralds, ebony, etc. have traces of time, and they look like objects from a long, long time ago and have been handed down.These traders are not first-hand, they travel around, and buy them at a very low price in pawnshops or folk homes.

Nanny Yu and Mai Ya followed behind Qingli, feeling that their eyes were not enough.In Kyoto, aristocratic families pay the most attention to the inside story, what is the inside story?It is inheritance. Some Wenwan porcelains have been handed down for several generations and are still well preserved, which requires hard work.Ordinary nouveau riche have money, and marrying a daughter will not have a few treasures, which cannot be bought with money.

"Ma'am, what kind of treasures do you want to buy? Li Er is convenient to visit."

Li Er respectfully followed behind Qingli, shuttled among these people dressed in silk and satin, he looked extremely shabby and very eye-catching.Some people even think that he did it on purpose, and this tattered clothes may also be an item that has been handed down for generations.

"Walk around, introduce if you think it's good."

Qingli waved her small round fan, looking left and right, she was just joining in the fun with so many people to pass the boring time.At present, looking at the items on both sides, there is nothing she can see.

There are many stalls selling calligraphy and painting on both sides, and the seller can tell clearly when a certain painting was received, the specific address and the story in the painting.Just like this picture of a chicken pecking rice, it was sold by a poor scholar in order to make up enough travel expenses for the examination.

Qingli covered her mouth and chuckled, she was not an expert in antique appreciation, but this painting must be a fake, the real one is in the underground warehouse in her space.

"Li Er, that picture of a chicken pecking rice was made by a former national player, what do you think?"

It's also for Li Er's school exam. Since he works as a clerk in an antique shop, how can he make himself so shabby?The seller in front of that booth was describing the miserable expression of Xiucai who sold the painting, what a shame to the ancestors, what a faceless face to the ancestors, it is more realistic than the dan roles of the troupe.

Li Er didn't give an answer right away. He stepped forward a few steps and surrounded the people. Many people who came to appreciate it said that it was genuine, and it cost at least a few hundred taels of silver. The preservation of this painting is not very good. The corners are yellowing, which shows that it is really old.

"The scholar's house has long been dilapidated. So I don't have any money to find someone to repair it. It has become like this, so I don't ask for a high price, so I will take 500 taels of silver."

The seller spoke very sincerely, and also had a heartbroken look on his face, which meant that he didn't make any money, so this was the price he charged, plus a travel fee and so on.There are already many interested people around.

"Miss, this is a fake. Although the imitation is very real, you can look at the font on it."
