That painting, "Autumn in the Han Palace," was spread out together with several other paintings.
Lu Fan didn't deliberately keep staring at it.
Instead, his eyes darted around, looking everywhere...
"What would you two, handsome young man and beautiful young woman, like to buy?"
"I have a lot of good stuff here, including things that young people like!"
An old man greeted them warmly.
He hasn't made a sale for several days.
So even though Lu Fan and Jiang Manyue don't look like the target buyers.
They didn't want to miss any opportunity.
"Oh, just browsing."
"Is this jade bracelet real?"
Lu Fan casually picked up a green bracelet and asked the shopkeeper.
But his gaze kept drifting towards the painting...
That's right, it's the genuine product, there's no way it can be faked!
"Young man, you have excellent taste!"
"This jade bracelet was once worn by Consort Xi, the concubine of Emperor Yongzheng."
"You know Consort Xi, right? She's the Zhen Huan played by Sun Li!"
"Not only is it authentic, but it's also very romantic..."
"Give this to your girlfriend, it would be absolutely perfect! She'd be a modern-day Zhen Huan!"
"However, when this jade bracelet was unearthed, some impurities were mixed in."
"It's not as valuable as it used to be."
"It's fate that you were able to buy it..."
The old man used his prepared rhetoric, launching into a barrage of flowery and persuasive words.
If Lu Fan hadn't been preoccupied with other things, he would have been completely fooled.
"Is that so?"
"How much will you sell it for?"
Unexpectedly, I heard the boss's "psychological persuasion tactics".
Jiang Manyue, who was standing to the side, snatched the bracelet from Lu Fan's hand.
They showed extraordinary interest.
She took it in her hand and looked at it.
The bracelet was indeed green, but there were some black impurities inside.
This guy is really good at making up stories!
Based on their marketing skills in crafting stories, she felt it was all worth buying.
"This beautiful lady..."
"Zhen Huan's things are a perfect match for you."
"It seems you're destined to be a concubine and then an empress dowager!"
"How about this, I'll give you a discount..."
"Consider it a gift, two thousand yuan!"
Sure enough, the boss turned his attention to Jiang Manyue.
I ask you, Empress Dowager, are you tempted or not!
Jiang Manyue's cherry lips twitched involuntarily...
With such hype, she thought it would sell for at least 100,000 or 200,000.
It's only selling for two thousand?
Do you look down on me or what...?
This thing definitely doesn't belong to Zhen Huan; it must belong to a fake Zhen Huan!
"I don't have any money with me, can you pay for me?"
However, Jiang Manyue also had her own plans.
She spoke righteously to Lu Fan, who was still completely bewildered.
What the thing is is not important.
The important thing is that she can then renege on her debt.
In that case, wouldn't it be the same as Lu Fan giving it to me?
I'm such a genius!
Lu Fan noticed Jiang Manyue's obviously malicious gaze.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck me...
"Jiang Manyue, are you stupid?"
"This broken bracelet isn't worth two thousand yuan!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the paintings that included "Autumn in the Han Palace".
He said haphazardly, "Even with these few tattered paintings added, it might not be worth two thousand yuan!"
The old man was displeased upon hearing this.
Because of this bracelet, and those paintings.
That was exactly the price he charged.
How can you say it's not worth two thousand? It's clearly worth two thousand!
"Handsome, I don't like hearing you say that."
"Take this painting for example, I went through a lot of trouble to find it in an old house."
"It is said to have been created by a famous artist from the Song Dynasty."
"This one painting alone is not worth two thousand yuan, let alone the others."
"You're deliberately trying not to buy it..."
The old man pointed to the painting "Autumn in the Han Palace" and said indignantly.
"It's supposed to be a famous painting from the Song Dynasty, but it doesn't even have a seal on it."
"Do you really think I don't know anything?"
Lu Fan picked up the painting "Autumn in the Han Palace" without backing down and confronted the shopkeeper.
Because the genuine "Autumn in the Han Palace" painting does not have a seal.
The old man was able to name famous paintings from the Song Dynasty, probably because he had heard some of their origins when he acquired them.
However, the fact that there was no seal is obvious to everyone.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten it back for only 100 yuan.
It depends on the paper and the quality of the painting.
It looks a bit like an antique...
Maybe someone else has the same idea as him, and he can sell it for a better price.
"Alright then, boss."
"This bracelet, together with this painting, costs a total of 2000 yuan!"
"Sell if you want, otherwise forget it!"
At this time.
The intelligent Jiang Manyue knew perfectly well that Lu Fan was interested in that painting.
Although it is unknown how much Lu Fan wants to pay to buy it.
But she wanted that bracelet!
So, without knowing it, she gave Lu Fan a huge boost.
"Oh, never mind, here you go!"
"It's only because your girlfriend is easy to talk to that I wouldn't sell it to you."
"This young man's words are so rude..."
"They're insulting the intelligence of our profession!"
The old man waved his hand helplessly.
Before the beautiful woman could realize what was happening, he decisively agreed in one go.
He even took out the QR code that was hanging on his chest.
He gestured for Lu Fan to scan it!
"Okay, okay..."
