Gu Qing looked at the store slowly, and the shopkeeper didn't urge him, but he seemed to be observing Gu Qing inadvertently. Gu Qing had a good look and could tell that she was wearing new clothes.

The shopkeeper increasingly felt that the chance of completing this order today was very high.

He secretly estimated Gu Qing's wealth and was not as calm as he was on the surface. Slaughtering customers is also a not simple science. When the price is high, it will scare away customers and lose profits in vain. A skilled seller will try his best to pursue the highest profits. With the shopkeeper's years of experience, he should have been able to deal with a young man. But he was still a little unsure because Gu Qing still did not reveal his goals and was not as impetuous as ordinary young people. For sellers, even if such customers can finally reach a deal, it will be difficult for the seller to obtain the greatest profit.

Gu Qing did not deliberately observe the shopkeeper's expression, but probably realized that the other party had the intention of slapping the customer.

He didn't care much, and he looked calmly past the antique calligraphy and paintings, and finally Gu Qing stayed in front of a painting. The painting was hung in a very conspicuous position, revealing the antique shop's eagerness to sell it, otherwise how could it be placed in such a position?

When the shopkeeper saw Gu Qing take a look at the painting, he was surprised at first, and then his face was filled with smiles.

Gu Qing's fancy to this painting was really beyond the shopkeeper's expectations. Because this painting was a major failure in the shopkeeper's career, he always thought about selling the painting to recover some of the losses.

"Young Master, this painting is a picture of Wang Lu's mountain residence. Look at the brushwork, the movement and stillness are blended, the content in the painting is richer and more colorful, the mountains and rivers are fresh and beautiful, and the laundry inside is full of beauty. The scenes and the meanings are beautiful, which is really a great product." The shopkeeper wished to praise the painting.

Gu Qing looked calm and asked, "Who is Wang Lu?"

The shopkeeper was even more happy. The guest was ignorant of his skills, which made him worry for a while. He suppressed his joy and explained calmly: "Wang Lu was a great painter two hundred years ago. His paintings were full of exquisiteness. For two hundred years, no one has any other in the paintings. People who have always collected his paintings love them as their lives, and they refuse to show them easily, and they will not buy and sell them. Therefore, there are very few paintings he circulated on the market."

Gu Qing pointed to the scroll and said, "But this scroll has been around for less than two hundred years, and the materials used are average."

The shopkeeper blushed, but he didn't expect that the boy would still understand a little. He said, "The people who collected this painting did not know the treasures before. They should have to frame it randomly after painting, and the villain was lucky enough to find a bargain. If the young master likes this painting, you can buy it and I will use the best sandalwood for you to frame it again. Sandalwood can remove wet and deworm it, and it has a faint fragrance. It has always been the best product for painting mounting."

Gu Qing said "Oh" and said, "How much do you plan to sell?"

The shopkeeper made a "one" gesture and gritted his teeth and said, "One thousand taels."

Gu Qing smiled without comment, pointed to the wooden Buddha statue and said, "Where is this thing?"

The Buddha statue was very dilapidated and dull. If it weren't for the obvious age, the shopkeeper would not treat it as an antique at all and kept it in the corner. Unexpectedly, Gu Qing would like to see it.

Although the shopkeeper did not know the value of the Buddha statue, he had a flash of inspiration in his heart. Could it be that Gu Qing was thinking? The painting just now was just a cover. He calmed down and smiled and said, "This Buddha statue has been passed down for a long time, and there are also great monks and masters who have been enlightened. Since the villain invited this Buddha statue back, his health has been getting better and better, and he has never been sick. It is really a magical object."

He has never been sick in the past few years, but he has not lies.

Gu Qing said: "You offer a price."

The shopkeeper said: "One thousand five hundred taels."

Gu Qing shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper, you are determined to overturn the customer."

The shopkeeper's face turned red. Why is this man so straightforward? He pondered for a while and said, "One thousand two hundred taels, I'll just think that it's a villain who makes a friend of the young master."

Gu Qing said: "I'm not hiding it from you. This Buddha statue is a bit famous, but I'll pay at most 500 taels. You have to put the paintings together and give them to me."

The shopkeeper said excitedly: "Young Master, that painting is Wang Lu's painting. Although this painting is not very famous, it is more than five hundred taels, let alone you want this Buddha statue?"

Gu Qing said: "I mainly want this Buddha statue. I looked at the painting at first, but you probably understand. If you put it for another three or five years, I am afraid no one will buy it as Wang Lu's painting."

He almost said that this painting was a fake painting.

The shopkeeper was quite discouraged. Unexpectedly, this kid was not ignorant. He continued: "At least, the young master recognizes this Buddha statue as good as it is. Isn't five hundred taels too low?"

In fact, he only spent ten taels of silver on this Buddha statue, and five hundred taels had already made a huge profit.

Gu Qing said: "I'm not sure, so I'm willing to spend 500 taels of silver. It's nothing if I lose. If you want me to pay more, then forget it."

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "No, the price is too low."

Gu Qing said "Oh" and walked out.

The shopkeeper had seen many customers deliberately leaving in order to reduce the price, but in fact he still wanted to. His eyes fell on Gu Qing's back, counting one, two or three silently, waiting for Gu Qing to turn around.

Until I counted ten times, I couldn't help but be shocked, really left?

He looked at Gu Qing's back and was about to disappear from sight, hurriedly chased after him, and said, "Young Master, please stay."

Gu Qing didn't seem to hear it.

The shopkeeper was panting after chasing him, and finally caught up with Gu Qing, stopped Gu Qing and said, "Young Master, only five hundred taels."

The things he bought for ten taels of silver can be sold for five hundred taels. What else is he not satisfied with? As for the painting, the fake ones cannot be fake anymore. It has always been his heart disease. I sent them away together today, but I have lost a knot in my heart.

Anyway, five hundred taels are enough to make up for the original losses and still have to make a profit.

He was so confused that he accepted the painting.

Gu Qing pondered for a while and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't argue with you, so that's it."

The shopkeeper carefully packed the paintings and Buddha statues and took over Gu Qing's five hundred taels of silver notes.

Gu Qing had no joy. He really didn't know what the Buddha statue was useful, or just his illusion.

As for the painting, it was indeed a fake painting, but he saw that there was something else in it, but his skills were too superb, even an insider might not be able to see it. Gu Qing knew that using such skills to make a fuss about fake paintings was enough to prove that the things hidden in it were more than 500 taels of value.

Fortunately, he had worked as a framer in the past and had excellent skills. When he noticed that the painting was strange, he recalled what he had learned and did not miss the painting. Of course, he had just walked around the antique shop and had the intention to find a bargain. Although he wanted to buy a Buddha statue, he didn't want to suffer any losses.

After leaving the antique shop, Gu Qing went to buy some things nearby, and then went out of the city to go home. It was about an hour before the agreed dinner time, which was enough to reveal the secrets in the painting, so Gu Qing began to act.

He spread the painting on the table and watched the red lips of one of the laundry girls.

The color of this laundry girl's red lips is slightly thicker than other laundry girls. If Gu Qing had no idea about her eyesight now, she would not have noticed such details.

And after careful observation, you will find that the color of the red lips is not just a little bit.

Gu Qing touched the paper and praised in his heart: "It's so amazing."

The thickness of the paper is almost the same as that of ordinary paintings, but Gu Qing knew very well that there was a painting hidden in the painting.

The craftsmanship of the person who framed this painting is truly amazing.
