Chapter 21 Do You Know the Rules?

Yan Ziqing said this.

No matter how unconvinced Lu Taiping was, he was speechless.

Naturally, his knowledge and vision cannot be compared with those of the descendants of the Yan family.

But he never expected that the seal that he had overlooked would be sold for twelve thousand yuan by Yan Ziqing.

But if you think about it carefully, this seal was made by Emperor Qianlong and was one of his favorites. The materials used are expensive and the carvings are lifelike. If it is kept for a while, it may be sold at a higher price.

Think about it this way.

Lu Taiping felt a little regretful.

If he had known this, he would not have asked Yan Ziqing to come to appraise it. He would only need to spend 500 yuan to buy it from Zhu Suisui. He would also gain a reputation from Mr. Lu as a man who loves his niece-in-law, and he could also make some extra money. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

But now that Zhu Suisui knew the value of the seal, it was impossible for him to spend 500 yuan for it. That was a bargain price, which would not be acceptable to Mr. Lu.

But Lu Taiping was extremely reluctant to give up this seal.

Lu Taiping felt very upset, then rolled his eyes and said, "Sui Sui is my niece-in-law. I was too shortsighted to see the true value of this seal, and even caused Sui Sui to be ridiculed. It's my fault as the uncle. How about this? To apologize for the gift, I'll pay you fifteen hundred yuan for this seal.

Three hundred feet higher than Yan Ziqing.

The words sound very high-sounding, it would be better if the greed in the eyes was not so obvious.

Those who heard this naturally knew what he was thinking. The Lu family's brothers all frowned, thinking that their younger brother was too eager for quick success and instant benefits. They always felt that it was not appropriate, but they couldn't put their finger on it for a moment.

This is not something they can decide.

It all depends on what Zhu Suisui thinks.

What if she just wanted to sell it at a higher price? If they said something extra, wouldn't that just make people unhappy?

Zhu Suisui actually has no use for this seal. No matter how expensive it is, it is just like a piece of stone in his hand.

She was originally reluctant to sell the seal to Yan Ziqing in order to determine its value, but now that she knows the division of her own abilities, she can actually sell the seal. With the money, she can choose a small courtyard to buy and bring her whole family in.

Although he loves money, Zhu Suisui doesn't really want to sell it to Lu Taiping.

Think about it.

Zhu Suisui pretended to be surprised and looked at Lu Taiping, "Uncle, how could you do this?"

This made Lu Taiping confused. He was not happy after being criticized like this. He was also thinking about Zhu Suisui's seal, so he could only suppress his unhappiness and asked with a smile: "Sui Sui, what do you mean by this? What did I do?"

"Uncle, you are in this business, how come you don't know the rules of the cultural relics industry?"

Zhu Suisui pointed at Yan Ziqing who was still holding his seal and continued, "Comrade Yan is looking at the goods and negotiating the price. He hasn't let go yet. He was the first to come here. When buying and selling these antiques, I heard from Grandpa Mei that you should never raise the price in this situation. This is called stealing someone's love. It is completely against the rules. Only people who don't know the business would do this. Logically speaking, you shouldn't do this, uncle."

Yan Ziqing raised his eyebrows.

I didn’t expect that Zhu Suisui, who looks young, actually understands this.

Mr. Lu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Sui Sui is right. There are such rules. Everyone knows this. Taiping, you are making a fool of yourself by raising the price."

This is what was said.

Lu Taiping was so embarrassed.

Of course he knew these rules, but this was his home after all. He thought that he was using his status as an elder to build a relationship with Zhu Susui, and he also gave her extra money. Logically, no normal person would say that he was wrong, not to mention that no one present understood.

Now, when Yan Ziqing came to the Lu family for dinner, he was an outsider after all, so he couldn't put on airs, otherwise he would get into trouble.

The result is good.

Yan Ziqing didn't say anything, but Zhu Suisui started talking about rules.

Now that Mr. Lu said this again, what else could Lu Taiping say? He could only grit his teeth and force a smile, "It was my fault. I was just thinking about compensating Sui Sui, so I forgot the rules for a moment."

Zhu Suisui didn't hold on to him and nodded, saying, "My uncle really loves me. He even tried to pay for me with Xue Ke, but unfortunately Xue Ke and Fourth Aunt got there first."

This sentence successfully aroused the desire of Wu Xiuzhi and her daughter to vomit blood.

But they couldn't say anything and had to put on a smile.

Zhu Suisui finally discovered that it was actually very easy to deal with decent people. If you want to make them suffer, just push nice words onto them. After all, they want to save face and will not refute you. Isn't this just trying to save face and suffer in the end?

Anyway, she is the one who benefits, so she won't feel at a loss if someone says a few nice words to her.

Since he couldn't sell it to Lu Taiping, Zhu Suisui felt it would be troublesome to find another buyer. Now that he knew the origin of the seal from Yan Ziqing, it would be troublesome to keep it in his hands. It would be better to exchange it for some money, make it public, and do Yan Ziqing a favor. Who knows, he might need his help in the future.

Think of this.

Zhu Suisui looked at Yan Ziqing and said with a smile, "I am an outsider and don't know anything about seals. I originally thought the bird carved on it was very beautiful, but I didn't expect it to have such a history. It's just a piece of stone in my hand. Since Comrade Yan likes it, I won't take away your favor."

Originally, Yan Ziqing thought that Zhu Suisui would not sell it to him. After all, before, the other party could righteously say that he would not sell it even if he offered 10,000.

It is impossible to really give ten thousand. Not to mention whether the Yan family has it or not, this seal will definitely not make back the investment at the moment. It will have to be piled up at home for at least several years before it can find a suitable buyer. With this gap, he can use the ten thousand to make more money.

Twelve thousand is a high price.

Yan Ziqing didn't think he was taking advantage of Zhu Suisui, so he nodded and said, "I came here in a hurry today, and I don't have much money with me. I'll get some money and send it to you tomorrow."

"No need. Qingying and I will come directly to your house, so you don't have to make a trip. You haven't been to Yazhenzhai yet, so it's a chance for you to see the world." Zhu Suisui thought for a moment and replied.

Lu Qingying's eyes lit up immediately, and she wanted to rush up and kiss her sister-in-law twice.

Yan Ziqing nodded and then handed over the seal.

Zhu Suisui felt that it was too hot to hold the seal. If she held it, there was no guarantee that Lu Taiping would not have other thoughts. After all, if there was no exchange of money and goods, it would mean that the transaction had not been completed.

It would be even more troublesome if she got lost.

Thinking of this, she said, "I'll leave this seal with you so I don't have to take it back."

Hearing this.

Yan Ziqing looked at her for a second longer. He originally thought that she was knowledgeable, but now he felt that she seemed to be too careless and was not afraid of having to replace her with a fake one.

But in the end he didn't say anything and took the seal back.

Watching the seal go into Yan Ziqing's pocket, You Rong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly had a flash of eyes and lowered her head again.
