Xie Wanyun was going to an antique shop today called Shunyi Zhai. Antiques were something you could sell for three years without opening, but you could make a profit for three years after opening. Business was usually slow, with low volumes of goods and cash, so she inevitably paid less attention.
But today she suddenly remembered to go and have a look.
Shunyi Zhai was also located in a remote area, hidden in a long alley. When Xie Wanyun entered, the shopkeeper was still dozing by the charcoal stove.
It was not until he was woken up by the waiter that he saw the boss suddenly coming. He was so panicked that he kept apologizing.
Xie Wanyun concealed the slight unhappiness in his heart and said calmly, "It's okay. Let me see the account book."
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly asked the clerk to move the account books. Although his wife did not scold him and her face looked normal, she still looked extremely nervous.
Xie Wanyun slowly flipped through the account book, but couldn't see anything on the account book. She stood up and slowly browsed the shelves.
Search the inventory one by one.
It's not that she was worried, it's just that antiques are priced by the piece, and almost every piece is very expensive, unlike cloth and silk, which are counted by piece and size, so even if there is some damage, it doesn't matter.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the shopkeeper's eyes darting around. It didn't seem like he was nervous about seeing his boss, but rather that he was guilty.
Could it be that since I haven't been here for a long time, there must be something fishy going on in the store?
Xie Wanyun looked carefully and calmly until he stopped in front of a row of porcelain.
The shopkeeper was already extremely nervous, until he heard Xie Wanyun call out "Shopkeeper Yang." He was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out.
"Hey, I'm here. What can I do for you, Madam?"
Xie Wanyun pointed to a page in the account book and asked, "Why are these pieces of Xing kiln white porcelain missing?"
The shopkeeper hesitated for a long time before saying, "Madam, these pieces of white porcelain were borrowed by another antique shop the other day to support their business. They said they would be returned in a few days."
"Which store? Things from my store were borrowed, and I didn't even know about it? If there's any loss, can you afford to compensate for it? When did you become so bold?" Xie Wanyun's usually calm voice was tinged with anger.
"This is Ruyizhai..." The shopkeeper wiped his sweat.
Xie Wanyun thought about it, but couldn't remember which store it was, so he said coldly: "Go and get it back immediately, I'll wait here."
"Well, Madam, I've already promised someone, how can I go back on my word? Let's wait a few days."
Xie Wanyun was really angry! He said in a deep voice: "Why, Manager Yang still wants to teach me how to do things?"
"I dare not! Madam, please forgive me!" Shopkeeper Yang said with a sad face. What should he do? He was just an employee.
Xing Kiln white porcelain was originally a tribute product of previous dynasties. Along with its contemporaries, the Yuezhou Kiln, Dingzhou Kiln, Wuzhou Kiln, Yuezhou Kiln, Shouzhou Kiln, and Hongzhou Kiln are known as the Seven Great Kilns. Because the other six kilns primarily produced celadon, its rarity and value made Xing Kiln white porcelain eclipsed other celadons. Known as the forefather of white porcelain, Xing Kiln white porcelain commands a high price.
Her intuition told her that Shopkeeper Yang wasn't telling the truth. So where did he get these pieces of white porcelain?
"Shopkeeper Yang." Xie Wanyun spoke word by word.
Shopkeeper Yang knew he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth.
It turned out that Qin Su'an came a few days ago and said he wanted to bring some white porcelain as gifts, and his wife agreed.
He knew that the couple was not getting along, so he was reluctant to give it at first. He said that if it was his wife's instruction, he would ask her for her permission first.
Qin Suan got angry and said, "These things are what Old Madam Qin wanted. How dare you refuse to give them to her? And Madam Qin also agreed to it. Why are you still asking for instructions? Do you think both Old Madam Qin and Qin Suan are in the wrong?"
Shopkeeper Yang was powerless to resist the accusations. He thought, even if they were not on good terms, they were still a family. Perhaps Xie Wanyun really had agreed to this?
If he went to ask for instructions again, he would not only appear to be meddling, but would also offend both Old Madam Qin and Qin Su'an.
After much thought, he could not find a better way, so he asked Qin Su'an to take away all the white porcelain and calligraphy and paintings.
