Everything is difficult at the beginning, whether you have money or not

Money is always a big deal in this society

With the hard work of Yu Peng's parents over the years, they worked diligently and opened a shop to make money, and finally they were in trouble when they needed money.

How much money can you make by opening a small business like a store? Up to now, the two of them still have to pay off the mortgage every month, plus their living expenses, so they really don’t have much savings.

A deposit of hundreds of thousands is a drop in the bucket for the millions of consumption we are about to face.

This is also the common living condition of ordinary small city people.

As the old saying goes, the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. It is difficult for a poor person to survive in the world. A penny can kill a hero. But for a rich person, all roads lead to Rome. Opportunities and wealth are abundant.

However, for Yu Peng's parents, the very difficult financial hurdle is not a big deal in front of several spirit beings.

Finished the work at home

On this day, Yu Peng's father led Yu Peng, under the secret guidance of the old man Tuesday and Gu Ze, to an urban area near the Chengde Summer Resort.

These are all old-fashioned house structures, with high-walled brick structures, simple and simple, with a sense of age.

At a dilapidated intersection, Yu Peng saw an old man dressed simply and casually, with ordinary fabrics, lying leisurely on a rocking chair and basking in the sun. Next to him was a child who looked a little smart, squatting on a flat stone.

The old city, the dilapidated crossroads, the potholed stone pavement, the simple old man lying on the rocking chair, and the clever children

This picture, if any painter or photographer comes over, it will definitely make a good work.

As for Yu Peng and his son, they are indeed a little cautious now. In the introduction of the old man on Tuesday, the casually dressed old man in the rocking chair with cloudy eyes was actually a guide.

If you want to go deeper, you must first get the old man's permission before you can enter.

Yu Peng's father stepped forward, squatted beside the old man, and said softly:

"I'm looking for Mr. Ye, please show me the way."

The old man with cloudy eyes, his eyelids drooped and squinting, glanced at Yu Peng's father and looked at it from top to bottom. During this period, he saw the bag Yu Peng's father was carrying behind his back. He stayed there for a few seconds and looked impatient.

and waved his hand

"Bring them in"

When the child next to him heard this, he jumped up from the stone and was about to walk over quickly. He didn't know what he thought of, but then he slowed down and walked towards the alley without saying a word.

walk inside

Yu Peng's father said hello to the old man and took Yu Peng to walk two steps quickly to catch up with the child.

After wandering around in the alley for about ten minutes, the child finally stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary gate.

I turned around and said to Yu Peng's father, "That's it."

Then he left without looking back, walked a few steps to an alley, turned around and disappeared.

The two of them just stood at the door silently, without knocking or shouting. They just stood there like this.

Time passed slowly, and at exactly one minute, there was a sudden creaking sound, and the old wooden door was opened on one side, revealing half of a beautiful woman.

Wearing a simple cheongsam style, just half of the body, the charm displayed is enough to make countless men fall in love with her. Her black hair is carefully tied up with a hairpin.

The oval face shape is very beautiful, and her clear and clean eyes, which reveal a hint of innocence and cuteness, are really stunning.

Then a clear and sweet voice came

"Who are you looking for?"

"Let's find Mr. Ye to return a favor."

"When was the favor?"

"Before the Ming Dynasty"

The questioning voice is clear and sweet

The reply voice is young and clean

Naturally, it was Yu Peng who was talking, because Yu Peng's father was still dizzy. This girl was so pretty, she looked so much like a movie star, she was so pretty that she looked like a monster.

Therefore, when Yu Peng was talking to the woman, Yu Peng's father did not react except for being slightly bewildered.

"Please come in"

After the woman finished speaking, she opened one side of the wooden door completely. The door was not wide and could only allow one person to walk through. If she was fatter, she would have to turn sideways to get in.

Then, without saying anything, the woman let Yu Peng and his son in. After closing the door, she took two quick steps, walking half a body in front of her, and walked in toward the father and son.

Not enchanting or charming, just a bit fairy-like.

Yu Peng's father's eyes were full of surprise, but Yu Peng didn't feel much.

After all, I am too young to understand the things in the human world.

At this time, Gu Ze's voice came from the side

"This little girl is very pretty, isn't she? In fact, her kung fu is pretty good. The maids here have all been practicing martial arts since they were young. They are not much weaker than the special forces. They are also very powerful in actual combat. I have seen them take action once, and they were very agile.

very"

Having said this, Gu Ze turned around and looked at the door and continued.

"The girl just now turned half sideways to reveal the door. Didn't she feel special? In fact, one of her hands was on a brick on the other side of the wall. "Knocking on the brick, there was a miniature hand inside."

As Yu Peng's father listened, his eyes began to look strange...

What is this place for?

A strange old man and child pointed out the door. The person who opened the door was a beautiful killer, Lian Jiazi? Gun? Not a weak special soldier?

Yu Peng's father didn't know how powerful the special forces were, but he still had some idea of ​​Gu Ze. Gu Ze praised this girl for being so powerful, so his small body wasn't big enough to fill the gap between his teeth, right?

At this time, Yu Peng's father realized something else. He looked at the girl walking in front of him. She was wearing a cheongsam, with her arms and legs exposed. She was wearing a down jacket...

What a wealth of experience

Yu Peng is also full of surprise now. He has always thought that he is special. Unexpectedly, there are so many special people in the outside world. Sure enough, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. I really can't watch the TV series anymore.

After a while, the girl led the two of them to a small, clean and elegant room. The room was relatively simple, with only a simple solid wood square table and four wooden chairs.

Signing Yu Peng and his son to sit down, the girl said softly, "Wait a moment, you two." She turned around and left the room.

He didn’t pour a glass of water or serve a bowl of tea. I don’t know if it was intentional or if it had other meanings.

But before long, after the girl went out, there was a knock on the door in about 30 seconds.

After three clanging sounds, a young man opened the door and walked in. He walked straight to and sat down opposite Yu Peng and his son.

Yu Peng was sitting on a chair. Because of his height, it was inconvenient to get up and down, so he could only sit on the chair, straighten up, and said very respectfully.

"Hello, Mr. Ye"

The young man known as Ye Lao had no expression on his face, but he did not speak immediately. He just sat calmly and looked at the child in front of him calmly.

After a while, the young man called Mr. Ye, who was actually about 30 years old, smiled softly and replied in a light tone.

"I'm sure I've never met you two. Although I'm a little curious, but according to the rules, I just do things. So, no matter how you know me, it doesn't matter. Let's talk about your favors."

Yu Peng's father is a little confused now, so much so that he dare not speak casually.

There were two spiritual elders to guide me. In the original script design, the first person I met was an ordinary appraiser. This is a regular process, but the things I brought here this time were better, so I could see an intermediate appraiser.

The teacher comes to bid

Here, if the value of something is higher, you will meet a senior appraiser, and it will basically be worth tens of millions.

As for the biggest boss of this antique shop, which is the legendary Ye Lao, what does it take to attract him to show up? But why is it the first time I meet him, Ye Lao?

Moreover, Mr. Ye, so young?

Shocked. Under the guidance of Gu Ze and Tuesday, Yu Peng's father was still in a hurry. He took out several pieces of jade from the bag, placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of Mr. Ye.

A emerald green jade bracelet, a mutton-fat jade handle, a mutton-fat jade safety buckle, and a seal with ancient traditional Chinese characters

Mr. Ye put on a pair of white gloves, gently picked up a piece of jade and looked at it carefully. After a while, he gently put it down and picked up the second piece. After reading all the antiques in order, he thought for a while and said lightly.

“3.5 million“

"Okay", the reply was from Yu Peng

Because Yu Peng's father was already in a hurry, but when he heard the price, he was speechless and put his hands on his thighs to pretend to be calm.

Seeing that Yu Peng didn't have much expression, Mr. Ye smiled lightly again, stretched out his wrist, revealing a simple watch, a bit like the kind of watches sold at roadside stalls in the past.

But in this place, it would definitely not be that simple. I saw Mr. Ye pressed a button on the side of the watch and said something

"Three dollars and five"

It turns out this is still a communication device

After saying this, Mr. Ye didn't speak any more. He neither greeted Yu Cheng and his son, nor did he make any unnecessary movements. He just sat quietly on the chair.

Soon, there were three knocks on the door again. After opening it again, another woman wearing a simple cheongsam came in. Although it was not the same one as before, she was equally beautiful.

The woman walked into the room with light steps, placed a bank card against the edge of the table, pushed it along the table to Mr. Ye, then turned and left. There was no sound at all during the whole process, even the high heels on the soles of her feet did not make any sound.

.

It seems that this girl is also a master

Ye Lao pushed the card to Yu Peng, not Yu Peng's father

"password?"

Yu Peng: "I understand"

Then Mr. Ye stood up, half-bent and bowed and said

"Then I'd like to send you two a treat."

Yu Peng's father also stood up, put his hand on the bank card, and gently pulled the bank card toward him against the table. When he was close to the edge of the table, he raised his hand and put the card into his pocket.

Together with Yu Peng, who jumped off the chair, they half-bent down and responded respectfully.

"Thank you, shopkeeper of the Ye family!"

After that, under the guidance of the third cheongsam woman, the two of them walked out of the gate. There was already a child waiting at the door, but it was not the child who brought them in in the first place.

They left in the same twists and turns, and when they reached an intersection, they could vaguely see a slightly bustling street, with people coming and going. As soon as Yu Peng turned around, the child had already disappeared.

After Gu Ze confirmed that no one was following him, the father and son found the car parked far away and hurried back home.

The car was driving slowly today. Yu Peng's father was obviously still a little panicked. Thinking about what happened today and the card in his pocket, which contained 3.5 million yuan, his heart and hands felt heavy.

On the way, the two spirits explained to Yu Peng and his son the unexpected situation today.

The entire city was built under the eyes of a few spirit beings, so everything in this city is no secret to a few spirit beings.

Today's antique shop is a place that specializes in reselling all kinds of antiques. The founder's surname is Ye. He used to be a great eunuch in the palace. He has a good way of doing things. He helped many relatives of the emperor resell artifacts, and gradually became famous in the circle.

After gaining some fame, he finally came out of the palace and settled here with the help of several princes.

Later, he used some resources to buy a large area and transformed it into what it is now. He claimed to insiders as an "antique shop", but in fact he was reselling various antiques that could not be sold on the market.

These include some royal rewards that were sold by the families of princes and princes when they ran out of money, as well as some antique calligraphy and paintings obtained by officials through corruption. At first, antique shops were only for officials to make a living. After many years, they were slowly opened to the world.

The house the two of them entered today by twists and turns was naturally different from the route they took when they came out. This is just the tip of the iceberg, which shows how huge the layout is.

As for the Ye Lao we see today, they are the descendants of the children of the first generation Ye Lao before he entered the palace. Many ancient people were like this. They gave birth to children early, and later because they had no livelihood, they were forced to enter the palace and work as eunuchs to earn money to support their families. This can be regarded as

A kind of livelihood, or work, at that time

Ye Lao is a title, not a person. There are two sons and a daughter in the Ye family in this area. They all work in antique shops, and they are also called Ye Lao. Today, the father and son met the youngest among them.

As for why they met Mr. Ye at the first meeting, it was not because they were discovered to be flawed, nor was it because Yu Peng was so special.

In the normal reception process, the first meeting is in this small room, with an ordinary appraiser handling it. If the object is more valuable, you will gradually meet with intermediate and senior appraisers, and the room will become more and more spacious and luxurious, and finally

Rare and rare objects will naturally be introduced to Mr. Ye

It is also the most luxurious reception place in the area

The normal process is like this, but any big family or aristocratic family has some special rules. For example, the Ye family, one of them is that every day, there will be an elder Ye to receive the first guest.

Regardless of the size of the item, as long as you happen to catch it, you can directly deal with it

It just so happened that Yu Peng and his son caught up today.

Of course, the only difference is that most people don't know these three Mr. Ye, and they won't say hello like Yu Peng did today.

Yu Peng was indeed a little embarrassed when he heard this.

When the young man entered the room and sat down, Grandpa Zhou and Gu Ze were discussing, "I'm lucky today. Unexpectedly, I met Xiaoye Lao when I came in."

Then Yu Peng's brain twitched, thinking about some scenes and plots on TV, and he rashly said hello to Mr. Ye

Sure enough, idol TV series are harmful to people.

However, there are so many anecdotes about strange people in the world. Come to think of it, the antique shop will not bother you.

This requires some other rules, such as not asking where guests come from, not asking where utensils come from, not lowering the price of utensils, not discussing personal matters, no cash transactions, etc.

The customers in the store are recommended by insiders. If there is no introducer like Yu Peng and his son today, but all the rules are clear, the store will treat them the same.

As for the receptionists in the store, they are all very good-looking women. The selection criteria are extremely strict. They have to learn the Ye family's martial arts since childhood and use medicine to wash their bodies. Although they all appear to be beautiful-looking women with delicate skin, in fact

All of them have good martial arts skills and are very familiar with various hot and cold weapons.

This antique shop has a transcendent status in the real antiques circle in North China. Any antiques can be dealt with here, and the prices are reasonable and safe. There are many antiques that are priced at hundreds of thousands outside.

But in the end, the price here is several million or even tens of millions.

This place is the fastest and safest place to make money, so Tuesday and Gu Ze went to the mountain to dig for treasures and brought Yu Peng here to trade. In just one morning, they had already obtained 350 yuan.

It's as simple as going to the street to buy some food

As for why so much money is spent, it still has something to do with Yu Peng

Taoist Luo Zhen will be Yu Peng's guide. In addition to being able to call Yu Peng Tao spells, he will also cooperate with Gu Ze to teach all kinds of muscles, bones, skin and flesh kung fu.

If you want to develop a body of steel and iron, techniques and routines are just a stepping stone. The more important thing is to use medicine to cleanse the muscles and cut the marrow. Otherwise, you will only have routines but no body, and you will just be a skin that knows how to fight and can fight.

And without enough physical support, many Taoist spells cannot be performed.
