Chapter 558: Are you willing to come out?
The old man smiled happily.
The granddaughter who is not raised by her side can be so bright and discerning. She is indeed a member of the Yan family!
At this moment, a servant came over on horseback.
The servant dismounted and clasped his fists respectfully: "Third young master and second young lady, we have found him."
Yan Funing and Yan Bojian looked at each other, and Yan Funing said to the old man: "Grandpa, my third brother and I still have something to do."
The old man didn't ask, and moved his finger: "Go ahead."
The brother and sister got on the carriage and followed the servant to a certain village.
Fifteen minutes into the journey, the carriage stopped at a small farmyard.
In the small courtyard, there was a white-haired old man sitting on the porch, and a middle-aged couple were busy in the courtyard.
Seeing the visitor, the middle-aged man walked to the fence and asked, "What's the matter?"
The Yan family's servant came over and said, "Uncle, my young master and young lady have something to ask. They just told you."
The middle-aged man then opened the fence door and raised his hand to lead the person inside.
"My father is old and has not opened a jade shop for a long time. I wonder what you two want to ask?"
Yan Bojian asked: "Your father was the owner of a jade shop before. ?”
The middle-aged man said: "Exactly. Whenever a high-ranking official wants to customize jade, it is made by my father. No one in the shop can match my father's craftsmanship."
Yan Funing took out something from her neck. He reached to the back of his neck to take off the jade pendant. He walked to the eaves and leaned over to ask the old man: "Old man, do you remember this jade pendant?" He nodded and signaled Yan Funing to put the jade pendant on her head.
Yan Funing gently placed the jade pendant.
The old man looked carefully: "Remember."
The middle-aged man was surprised when he heard the voice: "Dad, have you spoken?"
After saying that, he turned to look at Yan Funing and Yan Bojian, and explained: "In the past two years, my father has seldom spoken. Just remember me. Since then, my father has not liked to talk. After the shop was acquired, he could no longer open a jade shop, and since he could not do what he liked, he spoke less and less. "
Yan Fu Ningya. Feeling confused, I first asked the old man: "Old man, do you remember the custom-made jade pendant?"
"I have handled many jade pendants, but this one is the most memorable."
“Why profound?”
The old man murmured: "That day, a young lady came over and said that she had a dream about her fetus, and the sample of the jade pendant was what she saw in her dream. She gave me many instructions to make it beautiful, and she also said that it must be beautiful. You can't make the same thing for others. There are many people who come to ask for production, but she is the one who asks the most."
Yan Funing smiled and asked: "I dare to ask the old man if he will give it to others in the future. Make the same one?"
The old man became angry and said, "How can you go back on your promise to the guest?"
The middle-aged man said quickly: "My father is based on integrity and will never do it. Such things."
The old man returned the jade pendant to Yan Funing and gave the order to expel the guests: "You go back."
Yan Funing squeezed the jade pendant tightly, but her steps didn't move: "To be fair to the old man, there is a jade pendant exactly like mine on the market. This is related to my life experience, so I came to ask."
Hearing this, the old man's expression changed. He relaxed a lot and recalled: "When the jade pendant was returned, it was returned together with the manuscript. I have indeed never made a second jade pendant like this." ask.
He then asked the middle-aged man: "Your shop was bought by someone, and you only need to receive a sum of money. You can just change the location and open a new jade shop. Why did you return to the suburbs of Beijing?"
The middle-aged man sighed: "Miss, I don't know. Back then, the shop was bought by someone. How much was the price?"
When speaking, he shook his head repeatedly.
It was only then that Yan Funing realized that Fu Feng Restaurant’s background was probably very powerful.
Not only does it have a great background, but it also lowers the price even more when purchasing shops.
Unable to find any useful information, the brother and sister left the farmyard.
Before getting in the car, Yan Funing looked back at the old man sitting under the eaves, and turned back: "I am also interested in jade."
She looked inside the room and saw a few scraps of jade on the table. These scraps were not valuable, but they were polished to a shiny shine, which showed that the old man had a deep affection for jade.
Then he said again: "If I invite you to open a jade shop together, will the old man come out?"
The old man looked at Yan Funing in disbelief: "Are you inviting me?"
Yan Funing smiled: "Yes."
"But I didn't help with your investigation." "One code equals one code."
The old man stood up excitedly, his eyes shining: "If we can open a jade shop again, that would be a great thing!"
Yan Funing said: "If I choose a good location, I will come Let me tell you."
"My boss hired me like this without asking whether my hands were green..." The old man's eyes were hot and he bowed excitedly, "I can't thank you enough!"
Yan Funing avoided him. He bowed in the direction and raised his hand to support her: "My mother custom-made this jade pendant for you, so she naturally believes in your craftsmanship. I see jade stones placed in the house, and I probably know that you practice your skills every day."
You can tell by looking at the calluses on his fingers and tiger's mouth.
The old man shed tears: "The girl is a good person!"
Yan Funing smiled lightly and said goodbye.
The old man took a few steps in a hurry: "Master, I have a few words, I wonder if they will be of any use to you?"
Yan Funing was about to get in the car when she heard the words and turned around: "Please speak."
"When making jade pendants, in order to prevent the customer's drawings from being destroyed, someone in the shop would still copy the drawings on paper. More than ten years ago, an accident occurred in the shop. The candle overturned and the copied drawings were copied. Burned to the ground."
This is the only accident he has had in his decades of work.
For the sake of reputation, he never told anyone.
After hearing the news, Yan Funing thanked him: "Thank you!"
After stopping for a moment, seeing that the old man stopped talking, she got on the carriage.
As the car drove away, Yan Bojian asked in confusion: "Why don't you ask about the situation when the candle fell over, why it fell over, and who was responsible for it?"
"If he wanted to say it, he would have told it all in detail. If you don't tell me now, you are waiting for me to invite him to open a jade shop together," Yan Funing said calmly.
"Sister, really want to open a jade shop?"
"Open."
"Your brother, I am very short of money..."
"Want to invest in shares?"
Yan Bojian nodded heavily: "Yes!"
"Okay."
She has thought about it. If possible, she will build it in the capital. A street that belongs to her. All the shops inside have her shares, and they account for the largest proportion.
Dongsan Street is good.
The restaurant has opened, followed by a clothing store and a jade shop.
Step by step.
Thinking like this, she opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the car.
The fields in late May are very beautiful.
Just as the car was about to leave the village, a young man and woman came out of a high-walled house not far away.
The man hooked the woman's waist, and the woman leaned into the man's arms. The two of them got into the carriage so tilted.
The moment she got into the car, Yan Funing saw the man's profile.
His eyes immediately shrank and he blurted out: "Cai Mingzhi!"
"Who? That bastard of the Cai family?"
Yan Bojian looked over to see, but I saw that the other party's carriage had already driven away.
"It's indeed Cai Mingzhi. An Meng took me to see him, but I'm sure the woman next to him is not An Meng."
"Do you want to catch up?"
Yan Funingdai He frowned: "We can't alert the snake, we have to tell An Meng about this and teach her to see it with her own eyes."
