Chapter 258: inquire about news

Zhou Shuren took out the bank note, "A total of four hundred taels."

Zhulan was stunned, "I remember when I bought the two shops for three hundred and eighty taels. This year, the price of the shop has increased?"

Zhou Shuren explained, "The merchants have their own sources of information, and their information is the most well-informed. After getting some information, I know that the imperial court will relax some policies. If there are more shops, the price will go up. According to the market price, each shop will rise. Twenty taels, I only gained 10 taels, I want to take the opportunity to chat more, and test the test by the way."

Zhulan accepted the bank note, "Have you tried it out? Do you think it's a trick?"

Zhou Shuren is used to touching his beard, and he is addicted, "It's not a trick, I took the initiative to mention it today, and Ma Dongjia didn't cite it in antiques. Join in the fun and participate in the open gambling game, bet on whoever is optimistic, the antiques are more elegant, and many merchants are willing to watch the game."

Zhu Lan thought that she was being too cautious. It had only been half a year, and it was not easy for Wang Ru to get out of the predicament. Even if Wang Ru got out of the predicament, Shi Qing would not relax and stare at Wang Ru. Wang Ru was born again, and she did not dare to show her guilt. , Now Wang Ru is more afraid of death, Wang Ru must be cautious and dare not make big moves, and has the ability to find someone to investigate the Zhou family, and then do it.

Zhulan was relieved, "I forgot to ask yesterday, what are the rules of the antique competition?"

Zhou Shuren thought it was very interesting and said, "There are two types of competitions, one is to participate in the competition with one's own antiques, and ten people participate in a competition, and ten people take their own antiques. All the antiques of the ten people are taken. If the participants take fake antiques, they must take out a real antique to supply the winners. If there are several people who are identified correctly, they will stop and identify the antiques provided by the organizer until there is a winner. who wins.”

Zhulan thought this competition was interesting, "What do you mean, participants can take real and fake antiques to the competition, but those who take fake antiques should bring an extra piece and put them in the hands of the organizer?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yes, so I want to take the jade bracelet that I gave you to participate. It's hard to distinguish between the jade bracelets. Whether you can win a large part depends on it."

Zhulan touched the jade bracelet on her hand and was delighted, "I didn't expect it to be really useful when you bought it."

Zhou Shuren curled his lips, "Yeah, I'm also quite surprised, it's time for us to make a fortune."

Zhulan was curious about the other competition, "Isn't there two, the other is?"

Zhou Shuren said, "Another way to sign up for the competition with silver, a game with ten people and five levels, the winner will win half of the registration fee, one person will sign up for ten taels, and the winner will take away twenty-five taels."

Zhulan rubbed her chin, "So more people are participating in the antiques, and the organizer is opening a bet outside and sitting on the banker to earn money from the bettors. By the way, I came to Pingzhou last year, why haven't I heard of this place?"

Zhou Shuren, "The people I've come into contact with are few people who understand this business, and I go to many merchants. I don't know the merchants, so I haven't heard of them."

Zhulan asked, "Have you thought about how to borrow Dong's brother-in-law's strength?"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "You forgot, I helped the county magistrate to identify antiques. It can be seen that Brother Dong's boss is a lover of antiques. I just need to show my ability and wait for him to verify."

If it weren't for him, he was afraid that the antiques would be sold by force after winning, and he didn't need to take advantage of it. The Ma Dongjia revealed a lot of news, and the tasting building was also dark-hearted. The tasting building will buy it at a low price, which is easier than opening an antique store to receive good things.

Of course, if you insist on stubbornness, you will not dare to mess with it, and you will give a fair price when you buy it.

He didn't think about waiting for the middle class before going to participate. He had the money in his hands early, so he might as well make other plans in advance. Anyway, the scholars are still the candidates. In the eyes of the people of Jiang Da, as long as they don't get the middle class, there is basically no difference. It is better to do it early. Show some of your own value, and you can save a lot of trouble in the future.

I just don't know if he will come across good antiques when he participates. The last time I went to see the highest value antiques at 400 taels, it was rare to borrow money to hope for good antiques!

Because once he wins, he is not allowed to participate in the competition again, so no matter whether he wins or loses, he has only one chance. If he loses, he has no antiques to participate in the competition again. If he wins, he cannot participate in the next competition.

Zhu Lan's eyes were particularly bright, "Can I follow along?"

This is a rare competition, and she wants to go with it.

Zhou Shuren felt bad for Zhulan, since ancient times there has been no entertainment, "No way."

It's not that he didn't bring it, the women he brought were also women who were not respected by the young women, and the ladies and ladies with status would not go there. Even if it was an overhead dynasty, there were still many places where the women stopped, and they were afraid to press on. A frivolous reputation ruined a lifetime.

Zhulan knew that she was a little disappointed, "Hey, women are difficult, women in ancient times were even more difficult."

Zhou Shuren said, "If I really win this time and make a fortune, I want to go to the capital, and we will go there."

Zhulan regained her energy, and she was able to overcome even the bumpy carriage. "Okay, then you must win. If you lose, my bracelet is gone, and I can't go to the capital."

She was really curious about what the ancient capital looked like!

Zhou Shuren couldn't lose not only for the money, but also for Zhulan, "I will definitely not let you down."

Zhulan thought for a while, there are many capable people in ancient times, so don't put too much pressure on Zhou Shuren, "We just need to work hard, at least we have tried hard, and we have no regrets if we lose, even if we really lose, we still There are five hundred taels of silver, although the jade bracelet is an antique, it was only bought for forty taels, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

He only has confidence here. He watched a game last night, and none of the really capable appraisal masters participated. Those who participated were only those who felt that they had some skills and could win a lot of money. There are really no veterans. Therefore, his chances of winning are really big, and he has not lost his understanding of ancient antiques since he came to ancient times, and he has the confidence in his hand.

Zhulan and his wife were counting the money, and when they knocked on the door, Zhou Lao Er said, "Father, mother, I'm in."

Zhou Shuren sat up and smoothed his clothes. From lying down, he turned back to the head of the family. He stroked his beard, "Come in!"

Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren speechlessly, and put away the banknotes.

Zhou Lao Er and Zhao Shi came in, "Father, mother."

Zhou Shuren asked is there anything? "

Zhou Lao Er said, "Dad, that we have something to ask you."

Who is Zhou Shuren? He knew at a glance that it wasn't Zhou Er's business, "You said."

Zhou Lao Er originally planned to inquire slowly by himself, and didn't want to trouble his father, but his ability was limited. He went out to inquire twice without any gain. He came to Pingzhou with his father before, and he knew that his father was socializing everywhere, even if his face It wasn't obvious, but he could still feel tired. He didn't think deeply about how strong his father was, but it was not easy to feel sorry for him.

When he moved to Pingzhou this time, he also wanted to inquire about it by himself, but his father sent Rong Chuan and Mingyun to the academy. He felt that his understanding of his father was incomplete, so after talking with Zhao, it was up to him. Dad is fine, he slowly inquired about it himself, I don’t know if the Year of the Monkey can inquire about it!

Zhou Shuren coughed, "What are you thinking? Is there something wrong?"
