朱道临嘿嘿一笑，夸了句“够机灵”便打开包袱拿，拿出个五寸见方雕刻藤蔓和玫瑰花的精美木盒，吩咐玉虎收好包袱跟着，暗暗吸了口气大步进入古香古色的翠微斋，扫一眼三三两两挑选首饰的客人，径直走向端坐在里侧高高柜台后方的中年人。
捧着本线装书的中年人看到个高大道士站在面前，收起书本客气地问道：“道长有何吩咐？”
朱道临直接将手里的木盒放到台面上：“请问掌先生，这东西你这有卖吗？”
“咦？”
高瘦的掌柜一眼就被木盒子的精致雕工所吸引：“道长，能否打开看看？”
朱道临伸手按一下面板正下方的突出铜扣，“嗒”的一声打开盒子，坐落在红色天鹅绒衬垫中心的水晶球出现在掌柜面前。
掌柜顿时睁大眼睛，俯下身近距离盯着晶莹透亮的水晶球，脑袋摆来摆去不断变换观察角度，足足看了半刻钟之久，仍然弄不清楚端水晶球里面造型栩栩如生的金色弥勒佛到底是怎么弄进去的。
掌柜情不自禁的声声惊叹吸引了边上几位衣衫华贵的女客人，没一会儿，店里的朝奉也快步过去围观，七八个人盯着从未见过的水晶球热议纷纷，其中一个贵妇直接高呼多少银子我买了。
退到一旁的朱道临很有耐心，似乎水晶球不是他的一样，竟然兴致勃勃地信步而走，细细欣赏柜台后方博古架上琳琅满目的瓷器和青铜器皿。
直到满脸笑容的掌柜过来恭请，朱道临才转过身，对让出条路的一群女客人微微点头致意，这才抖抖洗得发白的道袍袖子，背着左手从容走向高柜台：
“大家说得没错，这玩意儿就是水晶做的，至于如何把弥勒佛放进去的，我想了两年也没想明白，哈哈！”
“那么，此物从何而来？”掌柜抢先询问。
朱道临得意地介绍起来：“两年前在南海游历的时候，看到此物一时好奇，就从一个佛郎机商人手里买过来了，可惜没看到内中有我道家祖师的水晶球，不得不说是个遗憾啊！”
“道长花了多少钱买回来？”
一个丫头摸样的女子迫不及待的询问，立刻引来一片白眼，那贵妇立刻沉下脸低声喝斥，觉得身边不懂事的丫鬟给自己丢脸了。
掌柜见状大度的哈哈一笑，转向朱道临和气地问道：“道长恐怕不是来买东西，而是来卖东西的吧？”
朱道临嘿嘿一笑：“这都让你看出来了，厉害！”
“哈哈，过奖了！其实，水晶并非罕见之物，杭州有家小作坊也是得益于佛郎机人的传授，专为上年纪的士绅磨制老花眼镜，镜片用的就是水晶，哈哈！道长此物确实是难得一见的上等水晶，打磨得晶莹剔透，浑圆无比，毫无瑕疵，不过归根到底，此物终归还是水晶，对吧？”
经验丰富见多识广的掌柜开始步步紧逼，却做得温文尔雅，而且故意不提水晶球中最为精妙最诱人的弥勒佛。
四周所有目光再次转到朱道临脸上，朱道临哪还不知道掌柜的奸诈，脑子飞转灵机一动：“先生能不能告诉我，杭州那家小作坊卖出的老花眼镜多少钱一副？”
掌柜似是被噎了一下，在诸多客人的注视下只好如实地回答：“做工做好的老花眼镜最高不过百余两银子，次点的也就值三五十两银子，日后若是有人跟着做了，恐怕还得便宜。”
朱道临含笑致谢，伸手将小木箱盖上：“如此算来，当初买这玩意也没亏多少，哈哈！谢谢先生，让我长见识了，而且贵号架子上的不少古董令我大开眼界，也很喜欢，等过一段手头宽裕些，定会来麻烦先生。”
朱道临收回盒子再次施礼致谢，招呼被挤在外面的玉虎准备离开，已经被水晶球深深吸引的客人渐渐回过神来，两名贵妇立刻凑在一起紧张商议。
掌柜和柜台里的矮个子朝奉相视一眼，朝奉无可奈何地微微点头，掌柜只好转身追赶朱道临：“道长请留步——”
朱道停步转身：“先生有何吩咐？”
掌柜心里骂了句小狐狸，脸上却无比诚恳：“既然道长也喜欢本号的古董，何不留下喝杯茶好好谈谈？”
朱道临开心地笑了，四下看了看，凑近几乎和自己一般高的掌柜：“说句心里话，在下实在是无意冒犯，确实身上没钱了不得不进来试试运气，看看是否有识货的，所以，还请先生直接开价吧？”
“最多给你五百两，这玩意说白了就是水晶做得，虽然巧夺天工，但价格太高本号恐怕要亏本的。”掌柜的手捂在嘴边压低声音，看起来似乎牙疼的不行。
朱道临犹豫良久，最后指向侧前方博古架上那个最高的青花梅瓶：“五百两银票再加上那个高瓶子，怎么样？”
高瘦掌柜顺着朱道临手指的方向看了片刻，无比心痛地解释道：“那可是永乐年间的官窑贡瓷啊！至少值三百两银子，不行不行！换成边上那个矮点的青花执壶勉强可以，都是永乐年间的官窑珍品，少说也值两百两银子啊！”
“既然这样，干脆两个一起再加三百两银子，怎么样？别想了，这么多客人看着，说不定我一出门就有人拿着银票砸我脑袋上。”朱道临毫不退让。
掌柜郑重地地权衡起来，用眼角瞄一眼侧边两位眼睁睁望过来的贵妇，只好点头答应下来：“好吧，道长请把手中盒子给我，坐下稍候片刻，我让伙计取下两个瓷器为你打包装妥当了。”
“有劳掌柜了，合作愉快！”朱道临拱手致礼，脸上全是春天般灿烂的笑容。
