Chapter 013: A Glimpse of Xiangmen Knows All Things
In the end, I decided to ask for the money, so that Xiong Jiu would be like a person seeking fortunes, and I might not cause unnecessary trouble because of divination.
During breakfast, we didn't mention the matter of divination again, after dinner, Xiong Jiu went out first, and then Ning Haoyu and I packed up our things and went to the antique furniture store where Ning Haoyu worked.
According to Ning Haoyu, Xiong Jiu has several such stores in the city, and the store we are going to today is a ** face, which is on Guangji Street in the southwest of the city.
This Guangji Street is an antique street, most of the shops here are engaged in jade jewelry and antique business, and there are also some practice stalls on the side of the street.
I heard Ning Haoyu say that most of these practice stalls are fakes, and even some of them can't even be called fakes.
When I asked him if the goods in those stores were real, he shook his head and said, "My uncle said that it is not all true, and most of them are fakes." ”
We came by taxi, but when we arrived at the antique street, the car was not allowed to enter, so we were now walking along the street and chatting, and when we reached the center of the whole street, a small two-story shop attracted my attention.
This small shop is the most magnificent shop on the whole street, and the plaque reads "Ziqiong Pavilion".
Ning Haoyu pointed to this shop and said: "This is the largest antique store on the whole street, and it is also the store with the most authentic products, he makes jade jewelry on the first floor, and the second floor is for antiquities, and the things in it are more than 100,000 at every turn." ”
I looked inside for a look at the decoration, the pure wooden floor, the wipe is called a light, and the people working in it are all fair beauties wearing cheongsam, and their cheongsam slits are almost up to the waist, which makes people reverie.
It would be nice if my future wife could have such a good figure.
Ning Haoyu and I watched at the door for a while, and then each smirked a few times before leaving, this place is not where we should go.
Although Ning Haoyu's uncle is rich, he still can't rank in this city, his store is not far from Ziqiong Pavilion, separated by three or four stores, but the scale is a lot worse, but compared to other stores around, Xiong Jiu's store can also be ranked high.
His shop is half the size of Ziqiong Pavilion, but it also has a second floor, where the first floor is made of some precious wood furniture, and the second floor is antique furniture.
Xiong Jiu's name in this store is "Wanmu Building", plus me and Ning Haoyu, there are two women among the five people, on the first floor, who is the salesman in the store, responsible for selling the furniture downstairs.
There is a tent on the second floor, more than fifty years old, Ning Haoyu calls him Mr. Jiang, it is said that he is also an expert in ancient furniture, he has been working in Xiong Jiu's shop for almost ten years, and he is very respected and respected by Xiong Jiu, and sometimes, Xiong Jiu has to ask Mr. Jiang questions.
After understanding the basic situation of this store, and the people know about it, Ning Haoyu told us what we had to do, he had some experience in ancient furniture, so he had to help Mr. Jiang with chores on the second floor.
As for me, I stayed on the first floor, trained by the two beauties in this store, and these furniture have a price tag, I don't have to deliberately remember it, I have to remember that these furniture can be discounted at most, and there are some sales words.
In less than half a day, I was familiar with this shop.
The two women on the first floor are in their early twenties, two or three years older than me, one has a long head, and the more beautiful one is called Jin Xiaoying, and I call her Sister Ying.
The other is short hair, round apple face, some baby fat is called Zuo Fei, I call her "Sister Fei", sometimes I call her "Fat Sister", she doesn't mind, she is a cheerful girl who can afford to joke.
In the morning, there was no business in this store, so a few people came, walked around a few times, asked the price and left.
It's a very relaxing place to work.
When it was almost time to eat at noon, Xiong Jiu came to the store with a smile on his face, and I was talking and laughing with Sister Ying and Sister Fat.
As soon as Xiong Jiu came in, Sister Ying and Sister Fat immediately stopped smiling, quickly stood up straight and said "boss", it seemed that they were afraid of being trained.
Or rather, Xiong Jiu is usually very strict with them.
I also quickly stood up straight and shouted: "Uncle Xiong!" ”
Xiong Jiu saw me smiling even more happily, came over and patted me on the shoulder and said, "First year of junior high school, you are all right, all right, haha, according to the method you said, scatter wealth, my business is done, call Xiaoyu and Lao Jiang, let's go out to eat at noon today, I have a treat." ”
When Xiong Jiu said this, Sister Ying and Sister Fat next to her looked confused.
Ning Haoyu and Mr. Jiang heard Xiong Jiu's voice upstairs, and they also went downstairs one after another, Xiong Jiu was on the rise, turned his head to look at Sister Ying and Sister Fei, and said, "By the way, from this month onwards, your two monthly wages will be increased by five hundred." ”
Sister Ying and Sister Fat also hurriedly thanked Xiong Jiu, and at the same time, Sister Ying also threw me a wink, probably she also guessed that they could raise their salaries, which was due to me.
We didn't stay in the store for long, Xiong Jiu took us to a restaurant on the next street to have a good meal, and during the meal, Xiong Jiu told Lao Jiang about my appearance, and Lao Jiang was full of praise for me, calling me a young talent.
After chatting for a while, I don't know how to talk about it, when it comes to the haunting of my house, I can only keep shaking my head and sighing, Xiong Jiu recommended to me again the "Wang Daochang", I told Xiong Jiu the truth: "I have contacted him, he is not in the city now, it is estimated that he will come back tomorrow, he is back, I will go back to the county with him, that is my home, I can't help it." ”
Xiong Jiu heard that I was going back to the county seat, so he asked me what I was going to do when I went back, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Open a small shop in Xiangbu, and I won't know anything else." ”
Xiong Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, you have a good ability to look at your appearance, and you will definitely be able to develop in the future." ”
I said, "Hopefully! ”
After all, my small shop has also been open for a while, and so far, no one has officially entered the store to ask for hexagrams, so I don't know whether I can stick to it or not.
After talking for a while, Lao Jiang asked me to show him his appearance and talk about his fortune.
Lao Jiang is fifty years old, the "Tingwei" on the right half of the nose of the year's fortune, his Tingwei is not bright and full, but it is definitely not bad, and although his facial features are not too good, they are not bad, in general, he is very average in all aspects, and there will be no major breakthroughs.
And Lao Jiang's Ill-Luck Palace and Baoshou Guan have no signs of illness or disaster, and from the physiognomy, Lao Jiang is a long-lived person.
When I saw this, I said to Lao Jiang: "Mr. Jiang's fortune is stable, there are no twists and turns, he is far away from disasters, and he can live a long life!" ”
Fortune telling is like this, if there is no disaster, you have to find a good one to say, Lao Jiang's fortune is average, there is no color, then I will use his life to make him happy.
Sure enough, as soon as I said this, Lao Jiang smiled and said, "That's it, then I'll borrow your auspicious words." ”
Ning Haoyu also let me count noisily, I glanced at him a few times, he still met the face of a nobleman, he is now studying with Mr. Jiang, then Mr. Jiang is undoubtedly his nobleman, so I said to Ning Haoyu: "You just need to follow Mr. Jiang to study hard, and ensure that you will prosper in the future." ”
Ning Haoyu glanced at me, obviously thinking that I didn't calculate it well, and Mr. Jiang was smiling next to him, and my words were also a disguised praise for Mr. Jiang.
After eating in this restaurant, Xiong Jiu gave us a half-day off, saying that Ning Haoyu and I don't need to go to the store today, we can go around the city.
Xiong Jiu also understood at this time, I didn't come to Ning Haoyu to work in his store, but to live temporarily, and I would have to go back to the county seat in a day or two, so he was embarrassed to circle me in his store, not to mention, I also helped him a lot by looking at his appearance.
What kind of busy it is, I won't ask in detail, this is also the rule of our divination industry, ** can't ask, we are only responsible for pointing the way, what is at the end of the road, we generally don't ask.
Ning Haoyu and I actually didn't have much to go, we went around a few times in the neighborhood, and then we went back to Xiong Jiu's shop, when we passed by the "Ziqiong Pavilion", we happened to meet Xiong Jiu and his daughter-in-law in the store to choose jade jewelry, and next to them stood a young man in a tunic suit, he was recommending a few jade jewelry to Xiong Jiu.
When passing by, Ning Haoyu shouted "uncle" and pulled me in, Xiong Jiu smiled at us: "Are you done shopping?" ”
Seeing me come in, Xiong Jiu said to the young man in the tunic suit: "Zhou Rui, this is the little god you told you, Li Chuyi!" Isn't your father's luck bad lately, you can ask him, maybe he can help you a lot. ”
The young man called Zhou Rui by Xiong Jiu looked at it, and then said to Xiong Jiu: "Boss Xiong bothered!" ”
I see that Zhou Rui's face is ruddy this time, and his facial features are delicate, no matter how you look at it, he can be regarded as a superior facial feature.
And he is in this Ziqiong Pavilion, and the servant palace is vigorous, which means that he should be the master here, or the young master, or the shareholder or something.
It's just that there are a few wisps of life swinging left and right in the position of his Taicang Xiangmen, that is, the location of the Migration Palace, indicating that his home is unstable, and there may be things like moving recently.
Of course, it is more likely that his store is the location of the house, because his trace of life is inextricably linked to Ziqiong Pavilion.
No matter how detailed I am, I can't see too much, and he doesn't show much on his various faces.
When I was looking at Zhou Rui, he also looked at me, but he didn't talk to me, my dress and age are probably difficult for him to believe that I am a person who can tell each other.
Xiong Jiu didn't stay in this store for long, bought a jade bracelet worth tens of thousands of yuan for his wife, and then we went back to his store.
On the way, Xiong Jiu sighed: "At the beginning, I didn't have enough money to rent the store in Ziqiong Pavilion, but now I am rich, but the store has an owner." ”
When Xiong Jiu said this, I subconsciously said next to me: "Uncle Xiong, that Ziqiong Pavilion may be moving recently, you can ask them privately first, if they really want to move, then you can rent the shop." ”
Xiong Jiu asked me with a surprised face: "How do you know, why haven't I heard any news?" ”
I said, it's all written on the door of the person who called Zhou Rui just now.
