The reason why Supreme Treasure chose to trade the jade pendant he carried with him from the Nanchu Palace in the pawnshop is that this pawnshop is no more information than the auction house or other institutions, and the money did not get at that time, but it was in trouble and couldn't go, so it was the fastest to choose to trade in the pawnshop, and there was no problem with being pitted, anyway, this is the jade pendant of the Southern Chu royal family, and it will not be worse than anything. And now there is no need to be afraid, because the owner of this Chen Ji pawn shop, Uncle Jian, said that it was his friend, and Supreme Treasure felt a little kind when he saw this Uncle Jian for the first time, and felt that he would not deceive himself, so he trusted him very much.

When the three of them entered the Chen Ji pawnshop, they saw an old man with gray temples walking out, holding a string of walnuts in his right hand, a cane in his left hand, and wearing a Tang costume.

"Uncle Jian, what kind of wind blew you here? You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what good things are you thinking about me this time? ”

"Lao Chen is still your clever calculation, these are the two little brothers I know, and they have a small object in their hands that they want Lao Chen to identify firmly. I've already helped you see it in advance, it's a piece of jade, you know I'm far worse than you in this regard, can you show me what the price of this jade pendant is now? They're going to pawn it. Saying that, Uncle Jian asked the Supreme Treasure to hand over the jade pendant to this old man and asked him to help identify it.

Supreme Treasure was stunned at first, this old man in front of him is Lao Chen? Seeing that this age is much older than Uncle Jian, it is understandable that the two of them are friends, it should be a year-old friend. It's just that Uncle Jian called this old man Lao Chen, and the one called Lao Chen was actually called Uncle Jian and Uncle Jian, which made him feel a little surprised.

Uncle Jian saw the Supreme Treasure's puzzled expression and thought that he didn't trust him, so he also said happily: "Big fish, if you think this place is unreliable, we can go to other houses, it's okay, it's just that the jade pendant you pawned this time happens to be a jade pendant, my old Chen friend's understanding of jade can be said to be a real price, you don't have to say anything, he can give you all the past and present life of this jade pendant clearly, if you don't believe it, Lao Chen, show these two children your collection." ”

"No, Uncle Jian, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that."

"Okay, I got Uncle Jian. You don't have to say more, lad. I know that ordinary people pawn this valuable, they are always a little afraid of being deceived, I can understand, since you are Uncle Jian's friend, then I will show you two hands, so that you can pawn here willingly. If I had been so reluctant to meet others, I would have ignored them. That old Chen also had a strange personality, and he didn't give the Supreme Treasure a chance to explain, so he turned around and led them into the back door of the pawn shop.

It turns out that there is a cave behind the pawn shop storefront, and it is also a warehouse like Uncle Jian's, but compared to Uncle Jian's dilapidated warehouse, it looks much more luxurious, and there are a lot of lights, plus it is full of jade, which looks particularly bright and bright under the illumination of the light.

"How about it, two children, my old friend Chen's warehouse is much more luxurious than mine, right? He's such a big collector, I'm half a cut short compared to him! ”

"The two of them have their own merits and cannot be compared, but the jade here is indeed much more exquisite." Supreme Treasure praised, and Lu Xiaoyu also nodded in agreement. It's just that Supreme Treasure and Lu Xiaoyu have just come out of the Zhu Palace, which is the palace of Southern Chu, and the gorgeousness inside is comparable here, so now Supreme Treasure and Lu Xiaoyu are only stunning for a moment when they see these again, and after watching it for a long time, they feel that this is the case.

"Uncle Jian, you're starting to belittle yourself again, I want those treasures in your warehouse! What do you think? Let's exchange the two? Lao Chen said jokingly, Uncle Jian smiled and pointed at Lao Chen without replying.

Lao Chen was triumphant, when he saw that Supreme Treasure and Lu Xiaoyu didn't seem to be very interested in his collections, so he was excited to show his strength even more.

So he asked, "Two children, you look like you've seen the world, and you can't look down on what I have here?" Dare to ask which dynasty the utensils you brought with you today, I wonder if I don't have the same ones here as you have? ”

Supreme Treasure obviously heard the disbelief in Lao Chen's tone, "Lao Chen, you are laughing, how can we look down on you?" It's really too much of your baby, we are dizzying to see it, and our heads can't react at once, if there is any rudeness, please forgive me. ”

"Don't say it's useless, let's talk about it! Which dynasty is it? ”

For the first time, Uncle Jian saw Lao Chen eating deflated in front of the juniors, and he wanted to watch the play, but he didn't say anything, but let the Supreme Treasure say it himself.

Lu Xiaoyu blurted out, "Chu State, do you have this?" ”

"Do you have the jade pendant of the Chu State? The Spring and Autumn Warring States and the Chu State? ”

"yes!"

Lao Chen looked at Uncle Jian and wanted to get confirmation from him, but Uncle Jian nodded and acquiesced. Lao Chen laughed, "Haha, my favorite thing to collect in my life is the jade of the Warring States Period." I collect jade from any country, and Chu's is no exception. ”

Next, Lao Chen took Supreme Treasure and Lu Xiaoyu to visit a small compartment where he specialized in collecting Warring States jade.
