"What? Five thousand strings?"
" Are you crazy?!"
Zhangsun Chong was also very surprised. He couldn't even control his voice.
The sharp voice was a little ear-piercing. Cheng Chuyou couldn't help but cover his ears, his facial features scrunched up.
"Brother Zhangsun, our deal didn't work out.”Cheng Chuyou said with a frown.
"I'm sorry, brother. It's just that your offer is too unexpected, so I'm a little excited.”
Zhangsun Chong saluted as an apology and shifted the blame onto Cheng Chuyou.
"Brother Zhangsun's words are wrong. I'm not asking for an exorbitant price.”Cheng Chuyou shook his head and denied.
"What do you mean?" Zhangsun Chong was also curious.
Cheng Chuyou did not speak. Instead, he opened his folding fan and revealed the words on it.
"According to my father, the 'Ode to the Luo God' written on it was written by Cao Zhi, a great master of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period.”
"Look at the seal on it, it's clear at a glance.”
As he spoke, Cheng Chuyou generously handed the fan to Zhangsun Chong for him to see.
Zhangsun Chong naturally knew of Cao Zhi's reputation, so he quickly took the fan and observed it.
The fan was covered in official script. It was unknown whether it was written by Cao Zhi, but the seal behind it seemed to be Cao Zhi's.
Because the seals used during the Three Kingdoms period were mostly gold-plated and silver-plated seals, this seemed to be consistent.
The fan seemed to have a long history, and it was very eye-catching in both its feel and appearance.
More importantly, this kind of fan could be casually swung in one's hand and then fanned a few times. This kind of action was really too cool!
"But brother, although this seems to be written by Cao Zhi, no one can be sure if it is not?”
Zhangsun Chong already believed that this was an antique of the Cheng family, but he still wanted to bargain.
"Nonsense, Brother Zhangsun, if I can confirm that this is written by Cao Zhi, I can sell it for 30,000 strings!”
Cheng Chuyou rolled his eyes in disdain, as if he was asking if he was insulting his intelligence.
Zhangsun Chong was also a little embarrassed because he had really said something wrong.
If this folding fan was really written by Cao Zhi, and Cheng Chuyou had evidence, it would be more than enough to sell for 30,000 strings in Chang 'an Fortress!
This was especially true for a famous piece like the "Ode to the Goddess of Luo", which was even rarer!
Therefore, when Cheng Chuyou said that he could sell it for 30,000 strings, he was not bragging at all!
"But... This 5000 strings is too much, I can't take it out right now.”Zhangsun Chong said with a bitter smile.
"Sigh... It wasn't that he didn't want to part with it, but the risks involved were too great.”
Cheng Chuyou shook his head and took the fan from Zhangsun Chong's hand. He put away the fan and sighed helplessly.
"Brother, you really can't go any cheaper?”Zhangsun Chong was unwilling to give up.
"Brother Zhangsun, it's really not that I don't want to part with it, but the responsibility I have to bear is too great!”
"Think about it. This is the heirloom of my Old Cheng family. If my father finds out that I sold the heirloom, won't he beat me to death?”
"If we hand over the money and the goods, even if my father wants to ask for it back, he can't go to your house to ask for it back, right?”
"Moreover, if this is true, Brother Zhangsun, if you change hands again…"
Cheng Chuyou was like a little fox fishing, and Zhangsun Chong was the fish that was about to take the bait!
At this point, Zhangsun Chong completely believed Cheng Chuyou's words and confirmed that this was the Cheng family's heirloom.
Because what Cheng Chuyou said was too real!
It was so real that Zhangsun Chong thought of the tragic scene when Cheng Chuyou was beaten up!
"But how can I have so much money now? Why don't we wait until we return to Chang 'an?”Zhangsun Chong said.
Cheng Chuyou did not immediately agree to Zhangsun Chong's proposal. Instead, he paced back and forth a few times, his expression very conflicted.
Seeing Cheng Chuyou like this, Zhangsun Chong was also afraid that Cheng Chuyou would change his mind and not sell it.
"Virtuous brother, if you agree, I can use the land price as three thousand strings and then give you two thousand strings!”Zhangsun Chong gritted his teeth and said!
"Is what Brother Zhangsun said true? Was that 3,000 strings of land fertile farmland?”Cheng Chuyou quickly asked.
"Of course it's good farmland! But why is my brother so excited?”Zhangsun Chong was a little puzzled.
"Sigh, I'm not afraid that Brother Zhangsun will laugh at me, but if I take these 5,000 strings back, this little brother won't be able to avoid a beating.”
"But the land is different. What's mine is mine. This thing can't be faked.”Cheng Chuyou's face was slightly red.
Zhangsun Chong suddenly understood and patted Cheng Chuyou's shoulder as he laughed out loud.
"Don't worry, brother. This money and the title deed will be delivered to you when the time comes.”Zhangsun Chong said with a smile.
"Then we'll pay and deliver the goods!”Cheng Chuyou also said with a smile.
"A gentleman's word…"
"A promise is a promise!"
