Chapter 70: Bring Your Own Dowry

Lu Chongqing never introduced to Chen Xiaoyu what kind of character that old Grandpa Wang was, but only said that it was an old friend of his family.

Chen Xiaoyu knows what kind of background people should have who can cling to their friends on the road. I can't help but feel a little curious about this old grandfather Wang, what kind of experience does this old man who lives in a lonely and poor life have in an alley.

However, the old man was very secretive about his life experience, whether it was Chen Xiaoyu or Lu Chongqing, he had nothing else to say except to instruct them on how to distinguish skills.

Lu Chongqing can occasionally rely on the face of his family and make two jokes with a smile, but Chen Xiaoyu only dares to respectfully take the gadgets he bought and give the old man a palm.

She thought of the deceased Grandpa Deng, how patient he was when he taught her calligraphy, and he was tireless, and he also showed her the huge collection of books and tablets at home, which expanded her horizons.

In her heart, Grandpa Deng will always be the most respectable enlightenment teacher.

As for Grandpa Wang, she sighed, probably because she was too stupid to enter his old man's eyes.

Since someone has sent a message to her, let's go, just take the pair of bracelets I just bought, and let the old man see how it is.

That pair of bracelets was picked up by her wandering around the antique street in a small alley one day, and almost all of Chen Xiaoyu's savings were spent. This street is called antique street, is the name of the old society, now it has long been renamed Shengli Road, there is only one city cultural relics store and a arts and crafts shop, usually sell some handicrafts, sell to foreign friends, earn foreign exchange.

In addition, there are some small individual shops, which buy travel goods and handicrafts on the surface, and buy some "old goods" in private. "That's how Mr. Yu's shop is.

Teacher Yu is an old man. According to himself, he is a retired teacher from the School of Mining, who has nothing to do, opens a small shop to play, and keeps saying that in the eyes of those of them who are geology majors, "the thousand-year-old diamond is nothing but carbon".

Jade, in his mouth, "There are a lot of them in the warehouse of our school." You see, the main index is "the molecular structure is sodium aluminum silicate - NaAI [Si2O6], often containing Ca, Cr, Ni, Mn, Mg, Fe and other trace elements; CAS index is: 1344-00-9; mineral composition: jadeite is the mainstay, followed by omphacite, sodium chromium pyroxene, neonite, hornblende, albite and so on. Crystalline characteristics: monoclinic crystal system, often columnar, fibrous, felt-like dense synthesis, raw material is a block secondary raw material for gravel 4.Hardness: 6.5-7 relative density: 3.25-3.40, spot measurement method is 3.33 grams per cubic centimeter, refractive index is 1.66 girl, you know? Those that can meet the above indicators are called jadeite. You see, none of our things meet these conditions. ”

The old man's professional terms made Chen Xiaoyu stunned for a while, but his goods were rarely beautiful.

That pair of bracelets was originally taken out by him to sell to a middle-aged man, and he bargained for a long time, but there was no deal, but Chen Xiaoyu fell in love at first sight on the side, and it was itchy to see it.

The pair of jade bracelets, Old Man Yu said, "are goods from the palace." ”

In the mouth of every seller on this antique street, every thing has a story background, and the most talked about is that the palace maids and eunuchs are living in the market, and in order to make a living, they sell the private goods that were secretly hidden and taken out in exchange for food.

Chen Xiaoyu chuckled, "Teacher Yu, in the eyes of a scientist like you, don't you believe this, isn't it sodium aluminum silicate?" ”

"It's not the same, even though the chemical structure is the same, the cultural meaning is different." The old man said that he was about to put it away.

Chen Xiaoyu held him down with a smile, and said with a smile in his mouth, "Yo, if you want to talk about culture, this is feudal culture, but, Teacher Yu, I will buy this pair of bracelets and use them as a dowry in the future." As she spoke, she quoted a price.

It was a little lower than the price he had just offered to the middle-aged man.

The old man stared at her with his small slender eyes.

The little girl often comes to the store to play, sometimes she also buys some gadgets, safe buckles, small pendants of Fudou and the like, comes, every time she lingers in front of the counter, she also teases her when she has nothing to do, teaches her some geological expertise, she listens very carefully, and from time to time she will hold the book to ask for advice, and she is humble and studious.

"Girl, you are so young, you want to save the dowry in the future, and you are not ashamed" Lao Yu teased her.

"I didn't say that I will marry now, but in the future, I will always marry in the future. You won't leave me until then. Chen Xiaoyu said indifferently.

Lao Yu nodded, yes, this pair of jade bracelets as a dowry or dowry is really suitable.

The ornamentation of the flowers and leaves, the carving is delicate, a little sprinkled with gold, there are no spots under the magnifying glass, no scratches, the ice species is an old pit, the emerald color is uniform and full, the moistness is extremely high, and even with a little bit of the moistness of the old oil, it is as moist as water.

Although Chen Xiaoyu refuted Lao Yu's theory, with the knowledge he learned from Grandpa Wang, he had already judged that this was really an old thing, and the dynasty was about the Qing Dynasty.

Qing Dynasty Cixi Empress Dowager Ye He Nana loved jadeite all her life, Mrs. Jiang Song Meiling also has a soft spot for jadeite, can't put it down, the jade twist bracelet worn that year, and later auctioned a sky-high price of 40 million Hong Kong dollars, the old lady was 100 years old with a complete set of jade jewelry to attend the banquet, stunning the world.

Chen Xiaoyu was thinking about the valuation of the pair of bracelets in front of her in her previous life, and felt that she was really as happy as picking up a treasure.

This pair of bracelets is really the dowry she gave herself as a backup.

"Grandpa Wang, how do you look at this pair of bracelets?" In Grandpa Wang's hut, Xiaoyu was respectful, she was a little afraid of the old man, and she was even more afraid of Grandpa Deng.

Grandpa Wang held a magnifying glass in one hand and her pair of bracelets in the other, looked at it carefully for a long time, put it down, and then squinted his eyes and pondered, and did not speak.

Xiaoyu's heart was pounding, and her palms were full of sweat.

This is the biggest investment she has made since she was reborn, and she has spent almost all her savings, even the New Year's money.

Seeing that the old man was still silent, she comforted herself in her heart, even if Grandpa Wang did not approve of this pair of bracelets now, but in the future, she would not lose money, after all, after a few years, the jade rose dozens of times, and the bracelet with a little green would cost more than 100,000 yuan, not to mention her pair.

This can be regarded as her own dowry.

The old man was silent for a while, and was about to speak, when he suddenly remembered a knock on the door, a clear voice, with the mischievous energy of a hippie smile, "Old Grandpa Wang, it's me." With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and Lu Chongqing stood in the sunlight at the door.

Fine dust fluttered outside his back, with a misty fluorescent blue shadow, dancing beside him as if countless elves had been enchanted, and the cold air blew in from outside the door, leisurely with a little sweet fragrance of osmanthus flowers......

Grandpa Wang sneezed loudly, touched his nose, glanced at him fiercely, and pouted his beard, "Stinky boy, if you don't close the door and come in, you will freeze me to death." ”
