Chapter 366 The Oldest Glass Jade Bead (Part 1)
"Are some of the bosses here?" Seeing He Qing and Lin Haitao walking in, the man who contacted them before greeted them with a smile, "You are here just in time, my third uncle has already prepared things. Most Baidu search)
The things I show you this time are guaranteed to be good ones, and each piece is a big treasure passed down from our ancestors!"
Then he introduced the owner of the house to He Qing and the others, who was a thin old man.
After chatting with He Qing and the others for a while, the old man went straight to the topic, pointing to a beautiful wooden box placed on the table next to him and said: "All the things I have at home are in this box. Several young people, I don't know
Are you interested in taking a look?"
He Qing nodded solemnly and said: "Of course I'm interested. Sir, please open the box and show us the contents."
He spoke seriously, as if he was very interested in the contents of the box.
In fact, he could tell at a glance that there was no "precious light" on the box. From this, he could judge that the things hidden in the box were not good things. They might not even be considered antiques because they were of certain quality.
Antiques from the era, no matter how ordinary they are, will still emit a little spiritual light, even if it is a very weak red light.
"Yeah, okay." The old man nodded, agreed, and then carefully opened the lid of the box.
After opening the lid of the box, He Qing and Lin Haitao both saw clearly that there were some jade articles and other small toys placed in the box.
"Young man, these jade bracelets were brought by my wife from her natal family when she was young. Their family was considered a wealthy family at that time. Some valuable possessions were brought to our house as dowry items, including these jade pieces.
.These are all good things, Old Jade,
The quality is very good. My wife used to treat them like treasures and was never willing to sell them. Now if she doesn't need money urgently, I won't show you her dowry." The old man said solemnly.
The origins of those "old antiques" were introduced in detail.
Lin Haitao took a closer look, then turned to look at He Qing, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if he also saw something.
"This thing looks quite old, but we have to check it carefully first, is that okay?" He Qing said.
"Of course. Please feel free to take a look." The old man nodded in agreement without hesitation.
After getting the other party's permission, He Qing picked up the jade and looked at it.
Although he can be sure that those jade bracelets and other items are not antiques and are not old, but this does not guarantee that the texture of the items must be fake. Maybe even though they are not antiques, the quality of the jade material is very good. If so, it is still worth a look.
of.
But the reality was not as good as expected. Two of the bracelets were fake jade, and the materials of the others were just ordinary jade materials, which were not valuable at all.
After learning this result, He Qing couldn't help but sigh secretly. He was somewhat disappointed with this.
"Young man, how are you? Are these old jade bracelets good? How much are they worth?" The old man looked at He Qing who was doing the appraisal and asked impatiently.
"Old man, I have to tell you the truth, these five jade bracelets are not very good and are not worth much. If you have to sell them, they will probably cost you a thousand yuan at most." He Qing answered truthfully.
It is an ordinary jade, and it is a rare thing. It can be worth a lot of money. Now go to the jade market and take a look. You can get as much jade as this quality. And the price is ridiculous, so it must be very affordable, because
The price of jade is polarized. The price of jade of a certain grade is getting higher and higher, while the price of ordinary jade is just cabbage.
"Only more than a thousand yuan?! How is that possible?! This is the dowry left by my wife. It is very precious!" When he heard He Qing's explanation, the old man's face suddenly changed and he defended excitedly.
.
He Qing said with a smile: "Old man, don't get excited. This thing is of course very precious and commemorative for you to come home. I only make judgments based on market conditions. This is just my personal opinion. You
If you don’t believe me, you can ask someone else to take a look.”
"It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just surprised. It turns out these are just ordinary jade bracelets." The old man shook his head and said with a look of regret.
He Qing nodded and said: "These jade bracelets are indeed not very good and difficult to sell, but this small square pendant is good and has a certain quality."
"Oh, really?" Hearing He Qing's words, the old man's face gradually softened, and then asked, "How much do you think it's worth? To be honest, our family is in urgent need of money, because
My wife is seriously ill and is still in the county hospital.
She is lying on the hospital bed. She needs a lot of medical expenses every day recently, but you must have seen the situation in our family. It is difficult to support this expensive medical expenses, so we are raising money everywhere to treat her. As long as there is one
We have to stick to it till the end when we divide the money.”
"Is that so? That's indeed quite difficult." He Qing nodded.
After a pause, he then added: "In my opinion, it's probably worth a few thousand yuan, around eight thousand yuan."
"Then do you accept it? Counting those jade bracelets, you can give me 10,000 yuan. Are there other things?" the old man said eagerly.
As he spoke, he pointed at the things other than the emeralds. Among them was a chain of bracelets that caught the eye. The beads connected on the chain were dark black, as if they had been played with for a long time, forming a layer of layers on the surface.
A relatively thick batter.
"Agarwood beads?" After taking a closer look, Lin Haitao couldn't help but muttered.
He Qing heard it clearly with his sharp ears, but he turned around, shook his head slightly, and whispered: "That's not agarwood, it's just made of ordinary wood."
He was very sure that the string of beads that appeared in front of him was not the agarwood that Lin Haitao had guessed.
Because agarwood is extremely difficult to obtain, the price is very high. Now, like diamonds and other precious gems, agarwood is priced in grams. The price of high-end agarwood can reach tens of thousands per gram. If the bracelet is natural agarwood
If it is made, the old man must be well-off. It is such a big bunch, and it is considered an old product. It is estimated that there are millions of dollars that cannot be taken away.
"Well, after one more look, I think it doesn't look like it. It doesn't have that charm." Lin Haitao nodded.
"Yes, you can smell real natural agarwood from the aroma, but unfortunately, the string of beads did not emit that long-lasting aroma." He Qing said solemnly.
"Old man, if you don't want other things, just give me that small jade pendant. I'll pay you ten thousand yuan." After turning around, He Qing said.
"You...are you going to pay 10,000 yuan for this small pendant? You don't want anything else?" The old man said in surprise. He couldn't believe his ears. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him spoke so generously, which surprised and surprised him.
happiness.
He Qing nodded vigorously and replied: "Yes, I will give you ten thousand. But I have a request."
"Oh, what is it?" the old man asked hurriedly, "Tell me, what is it? I will definitely promise you what I can do."
He Qing chuckled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to stay at your house for a while, which is like renting your house. I believe you have a vacant house, right? The house on the other side of this wall is
Isn’t it empty?”
As soon as these words came out, not only the old man and his nephew were shocked, but Lin Haitao and the others who were standing aside were also shocked.
None of them expected that He Qing would make such a request. He actually wanted to live in this old house. According to his wishes, he had made plans to stay for a long time, at least for a few days.
The current situation is that they have already visited Cao Cao's mausoleum and memorial hall. Apart from that, there is nothing interesting in this small place. It is not worth staying any longer.
"That room is indeed vacant. It used to be used by my son, but he went to college this morning and hasn't been back for a long time." The old man asked, "Young man, why do you want to rent a house in my house? I
This is an old house, and the environment is not good. How can it be compared to the houses, hotels, and hotel rooms in the city?"
He Qing said, "It's because this is a very old house that I plan to move here and rent it. I haven't lived in a tile-roofed house for a long time. The air in such a house is nice and cool. I want to feel it, so I hope you can rent the house."
Give it to me. As for the rent, it’s not included in the ten thousand. I’ll give it to you in addition—how about giving you two hundred yuan for one night’s stay?”
"Two hundred yuan?! Yes... yes!" The old man nodded hastily and agreed.
The rent of two hundred yuan a day is quite a lot. A night's stay in the high-end hotels around here is only a small amount of money. I didn't expect to meet a noble man today and make such a generous offer. What else does he have for this?
I'm so hesitant, why not do it if I can make money to treat my wife's illness.
Soon, He Qing negotiated with the old man. Later, he paid the other party 10,000 yuan in exchange for a small jade pendant, and paid a five-day rental deposit, which was only a mere 1,000 yuan.
After everything was settled, the old man took He Qing and others to see the room, and tidied up the guest room with his nephew.
He Qing said they would move here as soon as they were ready.
"Brother Qing, why do you want to live in this old house?"
After walking out of the old man's house, Lin Haitao asked in confusion.
He Qing smiled slightly and said: "This is an old house with a history of hundreds of years. I have never lived in a house like this. Don't you want to try it?"
"You are really a nostalgic person!" Lin Haitao said with a wry smile.
He Qing didn't do it for nostalgia. He had his own reasons for choosing to temporarily rent at the old man's house.
Because no one knows, he has a huge secret in his mind, but this mystery has yet to be revealed.
Once everything is unlocked, maybe the Heavenly Sword he has been looking for can be found as he wished.
