    The young man surnamed Zhao will only ask the buyer for agency fees, and the asking price is not low, but he can help Yan Xifan lower the price. In the past few years, the money he has made from Yan Xifan is not small.

    Some friends may be wondering, in this case, why did Yan Xifan sell things to him?

    The reason is very simple. The young man has caught Yan Xifan's weakness and often brings some things over, such as wine or food. He usually comes over to chat with Yan Xifan when he has time.

    Youdao is soft-spoken and short-handed when taking advantage of others, and Yan Xifan has a casual personality. Therefore, when the young man introduces someone, as long as the price offered by the other party is not lower than the bottom line of the price in his mind, he will basically not  reject.

    ¡°After all, if Yan Xifan¡¯s son would come over to accompany Yan Xifan from time to time, the young man would have nothing to worry about.

    Back to the subject, the middle-aged man said with a smile: "I heard from Xiao Zhao that you have a collection of a pen holder from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. I wonder if you can let me admire it?"

    "Just want to take a look?" Yan Xifan asked.

    The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Isn't this your old collection? To be honest, I really just wanted to see if it was the one I was looking for."

    "Then you have to ask Shopkeeper Meng, I just transferred it to him." Yan Xifan pointed to Meng Zitao next to him.

    This answer surprised the middle-aged people, especially the young people. A look of disappointment flashed across their faces, and they also felt a little sad because today's agency fees are probably going to be a lot less due to this.

    On the other side, the middle-aged man¡¯s reaction was quite calm. He first introduced himself to Meng Zitao, and then politely asked Meng Zitao if he could show him the pen holder.

    The other party¡¯s words were more polite, so Meng Zitao agreed.

    ¡°Unfortunately, it¡¯s not this one.¡±

    After Chai Jiayou looked at the pen holder, he shook his head with some disappointment, and then explained to everyone: "My family used to have a similar Wulaotu pen holder, which has been passed down in my family for hundreds of years. In the 1980s, I was in college.  My family was too poor to pay for the tuition, so although my dad was reluctant to part with it, he still sold it. Now that I have the ability, I want to get it back."

    "Everyone understands Chai Jiayou's thoughts, but it has been so many years. If you want to find the pen holder, unless there are clues, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack."

    Yan Xifeng said: "You can try to find the original buyer."

    Chai Jiayou said: "I have also looked for him. He is also engaged in antique business in Yangcheng. At first he introduced himself as Lao Chen. According to him, he is very famous in Yangcheng. However, I have tried many connections and cannot find that person.  "

    Yan Xifeng said: "There are quite a few people named Lao Chen in the Yangcheng antique world. Tell me what they look like and see if I recognize them."

    Chai Jiayou described the person's appearance and said: "I heard about that person's appearance from my father. Maybe I'm not very clear. My father said that his most eye-catching feature is a large mole under his ear.  .¡±

    After hearing the end, Yan Xifan said: "Okay, I know who you are talking about."

    When Chai Jiayou heard this, he asked excitedly: "Who is it?"

    Yan Xifan said: "Let's put it this way, he was indeed well-known in the Yangcheng antiques industry at the beginning, but in 1991, when he went to the countryside to receive goods, he was kidnapped and eventually killed, so it is normal that you can't ask.  . In addition, his collection was basically disposed of by his family after his death, so there is basically no possibility of you finding the pen holder from his family."

    When Chai Jiayou heard that this was the case, he seemed very disappointed, and then asked: "Then do you know where his family lives?"

    Yan Xifan shook his head: "After so many years, how could I know."

    "Well, no matter what, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long it would take to get news about him." Chai Jiayou expressed his thanks.

    "It's nothing, it's just a little effort." Yan Xifan waved his hand, he really didn't care about this matter.

    Now that he got the news he wanted, Chai Jiayou said goodbye with a few polite words, and then left with the young man.

    After seeing off Chai Jiayou and the others, Yan Xifan said, "It's getting late now. Come pick two more things, and then we'll go have dinner."

    Ding Tianjun said: "Why, you don't have enough money?"

    Yan Xifan said: "The money for the pen holder is for my son. The money I have to buy wine is almost gone. Of course, I have to sell two things."

    "I don't even know what to say about you." Yan Xifan said when he mentioned drinking,?It is not impossible to remove rust.  "

    Meng Zitao said: "Of course not. If things like bronze mirrors don't affect it, it's best not to remove it. This can still be dealt with."

    Next, Meng Zitao took out some tools and dealt with the rust a little, and the box looked much clearer.

    Speaking of which, the workmanship of this box is indeed good, and the decorations are also very rich. In addition to the figures on the top, there is also a passion flower engraved on the front, and various decorations are also engraved on the side. The carving is exquisite.  It's just that the decoration looks more westernized and not quite like the domestic aesthetic.

    Meng Zitao observed carefully for a while, but still couldn't find the place to open the box.  You can imagine how he felt when he got a treasure but couldn't find a place to open it.

    "Dajun, where do you think this box should be opened?" Meng Zitao turned to ask Dajun next to him.

    "This" Da Jun hesitated for a while and pointed to the center of the passion flower: "Could it be here?" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
