Chapter 29: Too many things are naturally less valuable

The two children pulled the water hose from Si Si, and the water in it never stopped.

Apart from this, Qi Mohan could not think of any other possible reasons for the water coming out of the river.

The mother and son came out of the room excitedly and ran straight to the well in the yard.

Qi Mohan held the well mouth with both hands and looked into the well.

His thin and handsome face was clearly visible in the well. In this case, it was completely certain that the water in the well had returned to its normal state.

Qi Mohan immediately sent someone to check along the well to the river, and he and Imperial Concubine Yun returned to the room of the two children again.

Thinking of what Si Si was still going through, Qi Mohan felt an inexplicable pain in his heart for some reason.

He picked up the mobile phone on the table, and this time he didn’t take pictures of the surrounding environment, but pointed the camera at himself.

“Miss Si, this prince knows that you are in trouble. Although the prince cannot go to your place to help, the prince thinks that your problem can be solved with money.”

“This prince will go out of the city tonight to find a solution. In 2 days at most, this prince can offer gold and silver to help you out of trouble.”

“In these 2 days, you must take good care of yourself and not be hurt by those people again.”

When Qi Mohan finished speaking and was about to touch the screen to end, Imperial Concubine Yun sat beside him.

“Miss Si, I don’t know what you’ve encountered. You, a weak girl have to face all these alone.”

“I don’t know how to comfort you, but I can be a qualified listener. If you have any grievances in your heart, just tell me. It’s better than holding it in your heart.”

While Imperial Concubine Yun was speaking, tears welled up in her eyes. To prevent Si Si from seeing her losing her composure, she ordered Qi Mohan to stop recording.

The two children’s mission this time was to wait for Si Si with their mobile phones.

Because Si Si brought more things this time, Uncle Tang and Guo Lao had been appraising for more than an hour, but hadn’t shown up yet.

Si Si got bored waiting, so she took out her phone to check.

She then realized that the mobile phone she brought out was the one that sent messages to Qi Mohan.

She hated her carelessness and felt helpless, so she simply opened the album to check.

In addition to the photos of Qiushui City that Qi Mohan took for her yesterday, there was another video that lasted more than ten minutes.

Si Si clicked on the video, and the screen was the porridge distribution site in Qiushui City.

Although the clothes the people wore were a little dirty, they were not shabby, which was enough to show that before the drought, Qi Mohan managed the fiefdom very well, and the people lived a good life.

There was no order in getting porridge. There was no one organizing at all, but the line was neat and tidy, and no one cut in line at will.

Not only that, these people also took the initiative to give the front position to the elderly and children.

Seeing this scene, Si Si admired Qi Mohan from the bottom of her heart. To be able to do this, it can be seen that the latter has put a lot of thought into it.

Just when Si Si was watching carefully, she didn’t notice that Tang Xu came from behind her with two bottles of drinks.

While Tang Xu handed the drinks to Si Si, he inadvertently glanced at her mobile phone.

“Si Si, what ancient costume TV series are you watching? The costumes in it are a bit dirty.”

The sudden question startled Si Si, who was concentrating on watching the video.

She looked at what ancient costume TV series it was, this was a real picture of ancient times.

For Si Si, communicating with the two ancient little kids was a big secret that could never be known to anyone except her.

To make herself look guilty, she pretended to be calm and put her mobile phone on her lap: “Senior, this is not a TV series, it should be a joke made by those internet celebrities, I just watched it casually.”

After saying this, she pretended to be calm and turned off the screen of her phone.

Si Si felt guilty, but Tang Xu didn’t take it seriously. After giving Si Si a drink, he turned around and sat opposite her.

At this time, Uncle Tang and Guo Lao had also finished appraising the antiques brought by Si Si, and the two walked over with smiles.

“Miss Si, it is completely confirmed that these antiques are all products of the Daqi Kingdom. I didn’t expect that Mr. Si would have such a great opportunity to get such treasures.”

As for the origin of these antiques, Uncle Tang has already determined that they were Father Si’s collection. Si Si was very satisfied with this acknowledgment.

After Uncle Tang finished speaking, he sighed deeply: “If it goes as expected, Miss Si will also sell these antiques, right?”

Si Si brought so many antiques here just to sell them quickly and pay the wages of those workers.

But seeing Uncle Tang, sighing, she felt a little uneasy, but she still answered truthfully:

“Yes, my family encountered some difficult things today, so I brought so many at once.”

However, for Uncle Tang, it was not a good thing to have too many of the same antiques.

“As the saying goes, things are valuable when they are rare. Although the antiques of the Daqi Kingdom are precious, if there are too many of them, they are naturally not that valuable. In addition, most of what Miss Si brought today are vases and ornaments, and the styles are almost completely different. In this case, it will be difficult to sell them at a good price.”

Guo Lao also followed up: “We have been in the antique world for most of our lives and will not fool a little girl like you.”

“If Miss Si wants to sell these vases and ornaments at once, I discuss it with Old Tang, the price can only reach 70% of the original appraisal price at most.”

70%?

In this case, the price of these antiques brought by Si Si today will be much lower than expected.

She was afraid it wouldn’t be enough for her to pay the employees tomorrow.

At this moment, no one knows Si Si’s situation better than Tang Xu, but he also knows the antique market better.

After seeing Si Si bring out so many antiques of different styles at one time, he had this worry in his heart.

Sure enough, his uncle and Guo Lao saw this result after seeing it.

Tang Xu didn’t know how much money Si Si needed to pay those workers, but judging from the number of things that happened today, it was a considerable expense.

Helplessly, he could only bite the bullet and ask his uncle.

“Uncle, Si Si is really in trouble. Can you, and Mr. Guo, think of a solution?”

Uncle Tang glared at Tang Xu fiercely, cursing the brat in his heart that he had grown up and knew how to bend his elbow.

But in front of Si Si, he couldn’t be too obvious.

“Miss Si, if Mr. Si has other items in his collection, the price can be reconsidered.”

This was not too direct. Uncle Tang thought that since Father Mr. Si liked to collect items from the Daqi Kingdom, it was impossible to have just a few paintings and vases. There must be other kinds of items.

Apart from these, Si Si had no other items. Even those bowls and plates were taken away by her privately. She hasn’t asked Qi Mohan for anything else.
