? The old man with the embarrassing face glanced at the stall expressionlessly and hurried towards Xu Qing's back.
Xu Qing walked to a street stall and stopped, bending down and squatting down: "Grandma Hua, do you still remember me?"
This stall belongs to Mrs. Hua, but she seemed to be in a bad mood today and was thinking about something with her head down, so Xu Qing didn't react until she arrived.
Mrs. Hua rubbed her eyes, forced a smile and said, "So it's you! Why did you come to the antique street today?" She was still deeply impressed by this kind-hearted young man.
Xu Qing grinned and said: "Come to buy some things and come to see you."
Hua Pozi smiled and said, "If you're interested, just take a look and see if there are any desirable items in grandma's stall, and the whole purchase price will be included in your purchase price."
The stalls were filled with old and inconspicuous objects. Xu Qing glanced at them casually and saw no objects with gas attached to them. However, there were two big-bellied blue and white porcelain plum vases that looked interesting, so he casually said:
: "Mother-in-law, how do you sell these two bottles?"
Mrs. Hua gave a thumbs up and said: "Young man, you are really a thief. Dao Guangnian's blue and white porcelain bottle is the best thing I have here. If you like it, take it for a thousand and five dollars each."
Xu Qing smiled and picked up one, knocked it and said, "How many of them did you plan to sell?"
The corners of Hua Pozi's lips moved and she said, "Four thousand pairs, these things won't look good if sold in bulk."
"A plum vase from the Daoguang period is not expensive at three thousand pairs." A lazy voice sounded from behind, and Xu Qing knew that the old man with an awkward face was coming without even looking.
Xu Qing took out a knife of banknotes from his pocket, handed half of it to Hua Pozi without counting, and said calmly: "Mother-in-law, please keep this, I really like this thing, please help me pack it up."
Mrs. Hua held a wad of banknotes in her hand and struggled in her mind. She really needed money now. The purchase price of two plum bottles was 2,800, and selling them for 3,000 was already a small profit, but this wad of money was really much.
.
"Young man, this is too much money, and my mother-in-law can't take it." Hua Pozi said with difficulty, and counted the money with her wrinkled fingers, wanting to return the extra money to Xu Qing.
"Mother-in-law, just accept it. To me, the bottle is worth the price." Xu Qing waved her hand to stop Hua Huazi's movements and said, "If you refund the money, I won't be able to take it."
Hua Pozi bit her lip and said, "Okay, grandma will install it for you."
The old man behind him said nothing again. There was nothing he could do when meeting such a rich man. He could only watch eagerly as he put a treasure into his pocket.
Mrs. Hua put two plum vases in a square cardboard box, and specially took out a net bag to put them in. Xu Qingti weighed them in his hands and stood up with satisfaction.
"Mother-in-law, I'm leaving first. I'll see you later." Xu Qing picked up her net bag and turned around to leave. The old man with an awkward face moved his brows and followed her.
Xu Qing crossed the street and walked directly into Tianhong Jewelry Store with her things. The business in the store was not bad. The clerks were all busy, and the deputy manager Xiao Jian came forward with a smile.
"Master Xu, you are here."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "I just went to the antique street to pick up two items. I stopped by for a drink of water. You go ahead!" After saying that, he picked up his net bag and walked towards the stairs.
The old man with an awkward face walked into the store and hurried towards the stairs. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a security guard with a serious face: "Sir, who are you looking for?"
The old man said in surprise: "Why did you stop me? No one is allowed to see it from above?"
The security guard politely replied: "The second floor is the warehouse and office building. We refuse to visit without invitation."
The old man rolled his eyes, pointed at Xu Qing's back and said, "Then the kid can go up again? Why didn't you stop him?"
The security guard frowned and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Xu? The whole jewelry store belongs to him, so he can go in. If you don't want to buy anything, please go back."
The old man was stunned and muttered in a low voice: "This boy is really not short of money. It seems that there is no hope for this baby!" He shook his head depressedly, turned around and left sadly.
Xu Qing took out the key and opened the door of the general manager's office. It was the same room that Sun Qing used before. Nothing had been moved out, so it was just for his exclusive use.
Putting the two blue and white porcelain bottles into the glass wall cabinet, Xu Qing sat on the boss's chair and took out the piece of ancient jade and looked at it carefully. The appearance of this piece of ancient jade was not surprising, but he knew that this thing was by no means ordinary.
Past experience has proved that objects that can disperse colored gases are not ordinary things. I don’t know why it is impossible to see through the mystery inside such objects with a clairvoyant eye.
Xu Qing took out the Long Yuan dagger from his waist, and carefully cut on the edge of the ancient jade, trying to avoid damaging the objects inside, click! Pieces of jade-like old skin were peeled off, revealing a bit of misty purple light.
Sure enough, there was a way. Xu Qing was secretly happy and sped up the speed of peeling off the skin. The sharp Long Yuan dagger was worthy of being an ancient magic weapon. It cut the stone skin like a sharp blade cutting into rot. It only took a quarter of an hour to cut off the surface.
All the hard shell on it peeled off, revealing a small oval-shaped purple crystal.
The crystal was about the size of an apricot, exuding a layer of misty purple light. The material was neither gold nor jade. It was warm and smooth when touched with fingers, as if it were some unknown mineral crystal. What surprised Xu Qing was that the end of the crystal was still there.
The seal is engraved with three small characters, which are different from ancient regular script and seem to be some kind of hieroglyphics.
"It seems that only by finding someone to translate these three small characters can we know the origin of this thing." Xu Qing found the pen manuscript paper from the desk, followed the same pattern and wrote the three small characters on it, and compared it twice.
After making sure there were no discrepancies, he folded the manuscript paper and put it into his pocket along with the crystal.
Mr. Wu is an expert in all kinds of ancient characters. If you show him these three characters, he might get the answer. Xu Qing is very happy to find this treasure for 100 yuan.
After clearing the desk, Xu Qing left the office. Anyway, the business was taken care of, so he didn't need to worry too much. As soon as he walked out of the store, he received a call from Tang Guobin, saying that his old man had fully recovered. During the review, the two doctors
I thought my eyes were dazzled, but I didn't find any trace of tumor.
Saying thank you too much becomes soy sauce. When Tang Guobin asked about his current location, Xu Qing said honestly that he was going to go home and sleep. He would have to help Professor Gu's old friend treat a disease tomorrow and needed a good rest.
Tang Guobin just thought that this guy was really hard-working, so he ended the call after a few chats. Xu Qing went out and hailed a Taiwanese taxi to go home. When he got home, it was already sunset. As soon as he got home, he received a call from Professor Gu, saying what he wanted him to do
Keep your spirits up, a car will pick you up early tomorrow morning.
Xu Qing didn't care who he was treating. Anyway, he just treated it as a favor and set his cell phone to turn on at nine o'clock. No matter how important he was, he couldn't delay his sleep.
