Chapter 132 Exchange
Yuan Tingchuan was sitting in the living room of No. 22 Wutong Road with a sour face, while Li Anze was introducing the furnishing structure of the house to Du Ruo.
This garden house has the style of an old-fashioned house. It is very elegant and the details are well-deserved. The carvings on the stair handrails and the engravings on the marble steps are eye-catching. However, this house does not look like it has been uninhabited for several years.
Yuan Tingchuan looked around with disgust. Du Ruo turned around and glared at him when An Ze wasn't paying attention.
After Du Ruo made the decision, An Ze went out to call the landlord. Du Ruo dipped her slender white fingers in some tea and casually drew two strokes on the table. Yuan Tingchuan raised his eyebrows.
"The feng shui of this house is really good."
Seeing that he understood what he meant, Du Ruo didn't say much. After a moment, An Ze walked in.
"My friend is also in a hurry to sell his house. His trip has been scheduled, but the property has not been properly handled. He is a little anxious. If he can pay in full, he is willing to lower the price a little bit."
"No problem, we can complete the handover procedures today."
Anze glanced at the small garden outside the window, pointed across and said, "That's Uncle Chen's house. The layout of your garden is similar to his. You can refer to the layout of his house."
An Ze picked up the teapot on the tea table, filled half a cup for Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan respectively, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat down to rest.
The homeowner came very quickly and spoke very straightforwardly: "Since you are Anze's friend, you are my friend. I am willing to lower the price by another 20%. We can complete the transaction as soon as possible today."
Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan looked at each other. This was really anxious, but they didn't know who was the anxious one.
An Ze has to rush back to the county today. An investigation team will be coming in the next two days, and he is very busy. If the person who bought the house was not Du Ruo, he would never have come along.
Du Ruo watched An Ze's car drive away, then went to the Housing Management Office with the landlord to complete the formalities. When she came out, it was almost noon.
Yuan Tingchuan had his fingers on the steering wheel and his other elbow casually resting on the car window. Du Ruo was wiping his fingers with a handkerchief.
"They are willing to sell the house to you at such a low price, just to let you live closer and repair the relationship. What do you think?"
"What does it have to do with it? I don't know anything." Du Ruo lowered her eyes. What the Chen family wanted to do had nothing to do with her. She just knew that anyone who didn't take advantage of the opportunity was a bastard.
Yuan Tingchuan found a hotel that looked pretty good and parked the car. The two of them went upstairs and asked for a private room.
"When are we moving?"
"What do you mean? Mr. Yuan, you should ask when I will move?"
"Let's move in."
Du Ruo was speechless for a while and said, "My temple is small, I'm afraid it can't accommodate a big Buddha like you."
"I can also make do with it and not bother with you."
Du Ruo...
"But we can't do it in the next two days. We have to clean it up. If we don't, the house will be uninhabitable. I'll ask them to hurry up."
"Do I look okay?"
"Don't worry about it, we can just go there when the time comes."
Yuan Tingchuan looked out the window and thought of something.
"I asked someone to contact Sato for you. He expressed great interest. Let's wait for him at Yiyuan tomorrow morning. He will be here on time."
"Sato and I don't get along, so why did he agree so readily?"
"Business is business. Do you think everyone has the same childish temper as you? Businessmen value profit. As long as there is enough profit, even if it is the enemy who killed your father, it is not impossible to cooperate temporarily."
Du Ruo...
Du Ruo did not comment on this, and she probably couldn't do it herself.
"Are you sure Sato can switch with me?"
"He will definitely exchange with you. He didn't agree before because he had his concerns. What you want is too special. It is a unique item in another country. If he exchanges the Yohen Tenmoku with us, it will not be a matter of his family alone. Even if he covets the Thunder God Samurai Sword in your hand, he won't dare to risk going against the world.
But now that we have the Tongshan Tongbao, things are different. The Yohen Tenmokuro Museum still has it in its collection, but we only have one Tongshan Tongbao. Of course they want to exchange it back, and it will be easier for Sato to explain it."
Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Yuan Tingchuan say, "You can think about it again and raise the stakes appropriately. This is a rare opportunity, and Sato really has some good stuff in his hands. If your request is not too excessive, he should still be willing to exchange with you."
Can I raise the price temporarily? Is there such a good thing? She needs to think about it carefully.
Early the next morning, Sato showed up in Yiyuan with his bodyguards.
The old man's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, which was rare. He also bowed to Du Ruo with a smile, which was rare. This was really rare.
This old guy has always disliked her and never observes any basic etiquette. It turns out that flesh and bones are useful.
In order to show his sincerity, Sato directly took out a brocade box, and the Yohen Tenmoku Bowl revealed its peerless appearance. Du Ruo couldn't restrain his gaze and looked at it in admiration.
As the saying goes “one bowl is made, ten thousand bowls are ruined”, the Yaobian Tenmoku Cup is known as the best tea utensil in the Song Dynasty.
It is simply overflowing with brilliance and exudes a precious aura. It is said that the large and small spots formed by the high temperature in the bowl will emit colorful rays of light under the sun or at a certain temperature. It was revered as a national treasure in the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, the three teacups that exist today are all in museums in China.
"This is a precious heirloom from my family. If it weren't for special circumstances, I would never give it out for exchange. Ms. Du, please show your sincerity as well."
"Of course." Du Ruo pushed the two boxes, one large and one small, in his hand to Sato.
Sato did not open the knife box containing the Thunder God first, but solemnly took the small brocade box in his hand, took out the Tongshan Tongbao, carefully observed it with a magnifying glass, and took out a pattern from his pocket, compared it carefully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after a long time.
He solemnly put the Tongshan Tongbao back into the box, took a deep breath, and then opened the box of the Thor's sword with trembling hands. He stroked the blade inch by inch, and suddenly tears fell like rain, he cried and couldn't speak, and kept muttering to himself.
Du Ruo really found it hard to empathize with this old guy. She looked at Yuan Tingchuan and asked, why does Sato act like his father has died?
Yuan Tingchuan hooked his finger on her palm, indicating that he would tell her later.
Du Ruo looked at Sato, his emotions were still hard to control and he kept crying.
Well, no wonder Sato always looked like she and Lingyun were at odds with each other in her previous life. This thing seems to be really important to her. Look how excited she is. Is she going to faint? ?
Facts have proved that Sato is still very strong. He took out his handkerchief to wipe away his tears, solemnly closed the golden box with both hands, stood up and saluted Du Ruo respectfully, which was really very solemn.
