Chapter 5 Deposit, I will come to pick up the goods tomorrow
Seeing that annoying face, Xiao Chengyu almost cried for joy.
She quickly stepped forward, pulled him over, and looked him up and down, looking at his loose bun. "Where's your hairpin? Why is it like this?"
After saying that, his gaze fixed on the pile of clothes beside him.
General Xiao was also extremely shocked when he saw someone walk out of the house out of thin air.
But he still had his sanity.
He shouted sternly, "Xiao Chengyu!"
Xiao Chengyu came back to his senses and quickly let go of the hand that was holding him, "I'm sorry!"
Although he said so, his eyes were still fixed on the other person, and then he glanced at the supplies that were as big as a hill and difficult to ignore.
Waiting for an explanation.
Jiang Qi'an was in a good mood and not angry at all. "Please wait a moment. I'll move the goods first and explain to you later."
Everyone heard these words before they could recover from the full truck of supplies.
Still in stock?!
"I'll go in with you!" Xiao Chengyu said without thinking.
Jiang Qi'an thought about the large quantity of goods that would be delivered tomorrow and said, "We can give it a try."
The two walked in one after the other.
After crossing the door, Jiang Qian'an looked behind him and found that there was no one there. He was as expected but also slightly disappointed.
As expected, he was the only one allowed to enter and exit the shop.
He pushed another cart of goods out on his own.
As soon as he walked out, he saw General Xiao with a pale face, staring at him resentfully.
"How about trying again?"
“…”
After trying several times, Xiao Chengyu became withdrawn.
I stood aside silently and watched him carry things alone.
A group of soldiers stood around in a daze, watching Jiang Qian'an walk into the empty shop and push out a cart full of clothes.
The expression on his face went from shock to ecstasy.
They have adapted to the border environment and did not need to prepare warm clothes in previous years.
Their daily training is enough to keep them warm in the cold.
But this year's border seems determined to freeze people to death.
No matter how long I practice, my limbs are stiff.
These cotton-padded jackets that they used to look down upon are now their hope for survival...
General Xiao was calm enough. After coming to his senses, he immediately ordered his soldiers to transport the things to the military camp.
When Jiang Qi'an went in for the last time, he thought of something, "Did General Xiao bring any silver with him when he came?"
Xiao Chengyu was slightly stunned, then suddenly understood that all the valuable items on this useless prince must have been used to exchange for these clothes.
Looking at his slightly messy hair and lack of image, he felt a little touched.
"This is all I brought. If it's not enough, I'll ask someone to go back and get more!" Xiao Chengyu took out a big purse. Since he came prepared for shopping, he naturally brought more money than Jiang Qian'an.
And they are all high-quality gold ingots.
General Xiao heard this and without saying anything, he pulled out a purse from his pocket and said, "Take all of this with me!"
The accompanying officers' purple and cracked faces were filled with excitement, and they all took out their private money, "Your Highness, I have some here too!"
"Me too!"
"My, my!"
“…”
Jiang Qian'an wanted to say enough, but when he met those expectant eyes, he accepted everything as if this was the last time he would buy.
Chen Jinyue also put in a lot of effort during the moving process.
The last few cars no longer needed her, so she sat down again to study the two objects.
The workmanship is very fine.
I don't know what the price will be for this money...
Suddenly, a pile of various money bags fell on her desk.
He raised his eyes and looked at the boy opposite him.
"This is a deposit. I'll come to pick up the goods tomorrow." He looked serious and it was obvious that he wanted to keep the goods firmly in his hands.
Chen Jinyue lowered his eyes again and looked at the pile of deposit.
There are whole, golden ingots, loose silver, and even copper coins.
Although it has been weathered and is filled with coldness, it carries countless expectations and brings warm cohesion.
She nodded and accepted it, then reminded him, "Please don't give me gold or silver for the final payment tomorrow. Give me some exquisite and rare items. Like utensils, tableware, accessories, jewelry, etc."
Too many ancient coins are worthless.
The large amount of gold and silver flowing into the market is also difficult to explain.
But her family has a lot of antiques that are passed down from generation to generation...
Jiang Qian'an turned around and paused, looking at her in surprise. Wasn't she short of money?
But since she asked so, he didn't ask any more questions and just nodded, "Okay."
…
Chen Jinyue had just sent the people away when he received a call from Mr. Qian.
The voice on the other end was excited, "Xiao Yue, I looked up the text on the ancient jade in the literature, and it is indeed similar to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period. It looks like the character 'Jiang', but it still needs to be verified!"
Chen Jinyue's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word "Jiang". "Jiang State, is there any record of it in history books?"
"Yes, the ancient Jiang Kingdom existed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the basic information does not match this ancient jade at all. If you have anything related to this period in the future, please contact me immediately! The price is negotiable!"
"Do you have time now?"
“…”
After hanging up the phone, she took her things and went straight to find Mr. Qian.
The finance department should have paid the wages, although not in full, but I heard that there were customers looking at the clothes, so the workers at least saw hope.
He stopped staring at her.
It was dinner time, so the two of them met at a restaurant.
When Chen Jinyue arrived at the box, he found that there was more than just Mr. Qian inside, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
But she didn't notice it at first, she was just surprised, "Teacher? Why are you here?"
The person who came was Chen Jinyue’s mentor.
He and Mr. Qian were both from the provincial capital. She was already very grateful that Mr. Qian had come all the way to the county town to collect the things, but she didn't expect that the teacher would come in person.
"If I hadn't come, I don't know how much advantage some people would have taken by using my name." Professor Yan glanced at Mr. Qian and said softly.
Mr. Qian felt a little guilty, "You know, there's no standard for things, so I've always been conservative in my valuations..."
He is a businessman, and he is also afraid of overestimating and making a loss.
The strange thing is that he showed off the ancient jade to his old friends as soon as he got it, and it was noticed by several wealthy old men who loved collecting, and the bid was as high as five million.
As a result, Old Yan heard about it and came over as soon as the get out of class was over.
I teased him for half an hour as soon as we met.
"Besides, I didn't go out either," he explained weakly, looking at him with pleading eyes.
Stop talking and give him some face in front of the customer.
Chen Jinyue found it a little funny to see the two gray-haired old men bickering with each other.
If Professor Yan really thought this old man was unreliable, she wouldn't be sitting here being sarcastic. She tried to smooth things over by saying, "I have a teacher to help me judge, so I won't be fooled!"
Mr. Qian's face lit up with joy. "That's right! Xiao Yue is really sensible! Let me see what other good things you have!"
Although Professor Yan was angry, the main reason he came here was for the things.
As Mr. Qian said, an unknown era is extremely attractive to any historian and collector.
Chen Jinyue didn't waste any time and took out the things one by one.
It was packed in a fake antique box that the Chen family had given her before. She only selected a few copper coins, three gold ingots, a hairpin-shaped pendant, and a white jade hairpin.
There's also a wooden door ornament of unknown material among the pile of fake antiques...
