The reason why Boss Qian is not interested in the imperial concubine's couch is because if this imperial concubine's couch dates from the late Qing Dynasty, it might be hyped as being used by some imperial concubine.

But if it was from the Republic of China period, then there would be no chance. In this case, this imperial concubine's couch would have no significance for speculation.

"400,000, I won't sell it for a penny less."

"Then please go back. Maybe if you leave it for a few more decades, you can sell this imperial concubine's couch for 1.8 million yuan."

Boss Qian said with a look of disgust.

At this moment, Ye Yuan wanted to step forward and buy this imperial concubine's couch.

But he also knows the rules in the industry. He cannot negotiate the price before the seller leaves Boss Qian's store, otherwise he will break the rules.

Young people also have their own stubbornness. Since they can't sell for their own price, they won't stay here.

He directly asked the people he brought to move the imperial concubine's couch out. He didn't believe that such a good thing couldn't even be sold for 200,000 yuan.

Seeing that the place was no longer busy, several nearby shopkeepers also left.

Only then did Ye's father bring Mr. Qu to Ye Yuan's side. He originally wanted to introduce Mr. Qu to his son.

After all, Mr. Qu is an authoritative figure in the appraisal of ancient furniture and wood in Landao. Being able to make friends with such a person will be beneficial to his antique shop.

But who would have thought that when Ye Yuan saw Father Ye coming over, he spoke first:

"Dad, I'm going to buy that chaise longue now. Isn't it a bad rule?"

Father Ye didn't expect his son to ask this. He looked at his son blankly and didn't understand why his son wanted to buy such a worthless piece of furniture.

"It's not a bad rule, but the price is a bit inappropriate, right? After all, it's just a piece of furniture from the Republic of China period. Even if it's made by a master, 400,000 yuan is too expensive."

Qu Lao explained from the side.

"Thank you for being old, I have my own plans."

Ye Yuan still admired this old man a little.

Not only because he reminded himself that the other party's price for the imperial concubine's bed was high.

Mainly because of the old man's knowledge of ancient furniture, Ye Yuan had a lot of affection for him.

But now I don't have time to be polite to this old man.

After all, the furniture seller had already started to move out. Seeing that Boss Qian had no intention of stopping him, Ye Yuan came outside the store, found the man who was about to leave and said:

"Dude, let's talk?"

The man glanced at Ye Yuan and knew that this was the same person who was watching the excitement just now, so he said angrily:

"Why are you planning to buy it?"

"I really want to buy it, but 400,000 is really a bit high. If you can get it cheaper, I will buy it."

Ye Yuan made up his mind to get it even if it was 400,000 yuan. After all, he really wanted to know what the thing in the secret room was.

For his own curiosity, Ye Yuan could still accept spending 400,000 for one purchase.

Seeing that Ye Yuan was really planning to buy his own furniture, the man's attitude became a little better. After hesitating for a while, he gave the price of 360,000.

He also knew that after his furniture was identified as being from the Republic of China period, the price would drop a lot. As for the carbon-14 identification, he had already done it.

He just wanted to come here and see if he could sell it at a high price. If the other party could accept his furniture for 160,000, it would be a profit for him.

"If it's 350,000, we'll do the deal right away."

Ye Yuan knew that if he didn't bargain, he would be misunderstood.

So he gave a symbolic price. He believed that since the man shouted out 360,000, he would have no problem taking the 350,000.

The man did not disappoint Ye Yuan, and he readily agreed. After Ye Yuan used mobile banking to transfer money to the other party, he directly directed the store clerk to move the imperial concubine's couch from the Republic of China period into his father's store.

.

At this time many people have not left yet.

After seeing that the young man from the Ye family spent 350,000 yuan to buy this imperial concubine couch that they thought was only worth tens of thousands, they couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly.

Thinking that this boy from the old Ye family is a prodigal, Father Ye also complained:

"Xiaoyuan, why did you buy him? It's meaningless. With your ability, you can't make such a bed? I really don't understand what you want to do."

On the other hand, Old Man Qu was looking at Ye Yuan with a smile on his face.

He didn't believe that a person could be so good at making furniture, and he didn't know the value of this furniture.

Since you know you still have to pay a high price to buy it, it means there is something unknown about it.

He seemed to know if he had made a mistake, otherwise this young man would not have bought this imperial concubine's couch so decisively.

Hearing his father's complaint, Ye Yuan smiled mysteriously, and then looked at the store.

At this moment, the clerk has moved the imperial concubine's couch into his own shop and placed it in Father Ye's office.

Ye Yuan took his father into the office and found that Mr. Qu had also followed him in.

He had no intention of hiding what was inside.

After all, I bought it myself, and there are unwritten rules in this antique street. After the money and goods are cleared, the ownership of the item will be determined.

Even if the item appreciates in value right away, the seller will have to consider himself unlucky.

Ye Yuan came to the imperial concubine's bed and groped the top of his head with his hands. He groped several times and finally found the mechanism in one place.

With a slight press of his finger, there was a "click" sound, and a small "drawer" suddenly popped out from the rolled-up part of the end of the imperial concubine's couch.

Lying quietly in the "drawer" was the deerskin roll that Ye Yuan had observed using his perception before.

Ye Yuan carefully took out the deerskin roll and opened it slowly. After all, he didn't know how old this thing was. Don't accidentally damage it and it will lose its fragrance.

The deerskin scroll was slowly opened by Ye Yuan. There were some words written on it. Although it was in traditional Chinese, Ye Yuan could still identify the content on it.

After reading what was recorded on the deerskin, Ye Yuan felt bad.

Isn't this a joke? It's so mysterious that in the end it turns out to be a prescription for aphrodisiac.

At this moment, Ye Yuanxin had thousands of grasses running around. He was really seeing a ghost. He didn't expect that what he bought for 350,000 yuan was actually a recipe for medicinal wine.

Not to mention that Ye Yuan himself was messy in the wind, but that old man Qu found out the secret compartment of the imperial concubine's couch when he saw Ye Yuan making a quick operation.

At this moment, he is even more calm than Ye Yuan. You must know that the craftsmanship of the imperial concubine's couch with hidden compartments is many times better than the ordinary one.

It can be said that the imperial concubine's couch could only be sold for 300,000 yuan originally. With this hidden compartment, it would be no problem to sell it for 350,000 yuan.

Old Man Qu carefully stroked the hidden mechanism and murmured to himself:

"Ingenious workmanship, ingenious workmanship!"

Ye Yuan curled his lips, not caring about Mr. Qu's exaggerated performance.

He had used his senses to see clearly the principle of this mechanism before.
