Chapter 8 Diamond Rings
Constance still became an orphan, which Lin Yuhai did not expect, but the next development was still according to the plan, Constance's instructor Mrs. Chana will begin to arrange social activities for Constance and officially introduce her to high society. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And at those social balls, Constance must have made a name for himself.
"Alright." Lin Yuhai stood up from the desk, now he only needs to wait for Constance to emerge in the high society of that world, meet her prince, and then take the next turning point of fate, he can let go for the time being. Besides, the end of the world is less than a month away, and the immediate problem is even more urgent.
After feeding the dog, Lin Yuhai went to the inside of a coat that he didn't wear all year round in the bedroom closet and took out a sealed bag, which contained bills, a long card, and a ring box.
The surface of the ring box was slightly worn, but he could still recognize it as a certain brand of fine jewelry, Lin Yuhai took out the box and rubbed the surface, in his hand, the box looked very small, but he didn't even feel that he had the strength to open it.
Since you have to prepare supplies, you must use money.
Lin Yuhai's current house is rented, his parents were in a car accident before, the other party's hit-and-run, the cost of rescue and surgery, and the cost of the intensive care unit are surprisingly high, and in the end, there is no way, relatives came forward to help Lin Yuhai sell his parents' house to pay off the arrears after everything is over, and the rest only maintains the three brothers and sisters for a period of time, and there is nothing left until today.
Lin Yuhai knew that the relative also had a strange problem, after all, the value of his parents' house should have been higher before, but no one was willing to take care of this nosy matter at that time, the other party had done a good job, no matter whether it was true or not, he was meticulous about Lin Yuxue and Lin Yuxin who were at a loss, and he didn't mention it again until now.
Now there is only this one thing for his parents, and he has never touched it in the past, no matter how difficult it was.
Still didn't have the courage to open the box, Lin Yuhai turned his hand and put the box aside, took out the card from the sealed bag and looked at it. The card is covered with a plastic outer film, with three English capital letters "GIA" on the cover, and when you open it, there are some English data printed on it and a small card that is also marked with GIA.
Then I took out the bill that I don't know how many times I had read, and the price was clearly marked on it, whether it was for his parents to collect, invest, or simply for romance, the wedding ring that his father gave to his mother was worth 50,000 yuan at that time.
Quickly folded the bill and put the ring box and certificate back into the sealed bag, Lin Yuhai said in his heart, since he had made up his mind, he couldn't hesitate any longer.
The next day, he got up early in the morning, and Lin Yuhai went out with his things.
"Color D, clarity VVS1, 3EX cut." The owner of the pawnshop took the certificates and looked at them one by one, nodded, took a pen and made a few notes on the sticky notes, and then handed the certificates to the clerk who looked like an assistant, and the clerk took the certificate to the side to check the authenticity.
The boss took the diamond ring in his hand, weighed it skillfully, compared the weight of the gold and the weight of the diamond with the bill, checked the diamond with a thermal conductivity instrument, and finally took the cutting mirror to look at the cut, and said for a while: "It's that the diamond score is a little smaller, only about fifty points." ”
"How much?" This is not the first pawn shop that Lin Yuhai ran, looking at the boss's expression, he already knows that it is not good.
"Twenty-three thousand."
Lin Yuhai couldn't help frowning, he ran all morning, his stomach was empty, and he heard such a result many times, and he was only disappointed in his heart.
"Can't go any higher?" Lin Yuhai suppressed the volume and tried his best to discuss with others: "The CIA certificate is already small, especially the 3EX cut, although it is half a carat, the color and clarity are good, boss, thirty-five thousand?" ”
Search online in advance and do your homework, I'm afraid that people will push the price too low, but I have asked a few before, there are pawn shops and jewelry shops, the price is even lower than this one, the ring is of great significance in Lin Yuhai's opinion, I didn't think about the original price, but 20,000 yuan is too low.
"How is it possible to do so for thirty-five thousand," the boss looked Lin Yuhai up and down, sighed and said: "Twenty-eight thousand, at most, this is still for the sake of the certificate." You don't know, the jewelry market has been sluggish since last year, let alone us, where you take it to sell jewelry, people will only give you a lower price. ”
"Young man, to tell you the truth, this kind of thing is a diamond ring, that is, it has commemorative significance for the person who bought it, and it is not worth that money if it is really sold to us."
Lin Yuhai nodded, didn't say more, put the diamond ring that had been turned over and verified for a long time back into the box, didn't ask for the certificate, turned around and left the pawnshop.
All the way home in silence, he entered the door and touched Euler who came up first, then sat down at the table of the system, picked up the pen, and naturally unfolded a roll of letterhead.
Lin Yuhai took out the diamond ring, rolled the written letter into thin strips, put the ring on the outside to tie up the letter roll, and finally put the letter and the ring into Constance's drawer.
After everything was done, Lin Yuhai put his hands together on his frowning brows, and let out a long breath-
"Does the host want to consume three self-help points to teleport items?"
"Yes."
Because of the time difference, Lin Yuhai didn't wait long before he felt that Constance's reply had arrived.
Slowly opened the drawer, the first thing he saw was Constance's letter, Lin Yuhai opened the letter paper, and the familiar font came into view:
Dear Lemen,
You really surprised and delighted me this time.
It is difficult for my eyes to take my eyes off this delicate piece of jewelry, which must have been made by the craftsmen who made it with the hands of great skill to make it so graceful and delicate, not to mention the jewels set on the ingenious skeleton ring, which, in the faint light, are like pure droplets, and in even the brightest light, they are colorful and dazzling.
Compared to it, these humble jewels I have will be dusted.
You said that you want me to exchange with you in the most ordinary and least favorite way, and you want me to take advantage of such an unaffordable, which is almost humiliating me.
-- It's worth exchanging it with me.
Miss your Constance
Again: Don't worry, Mrs. Chana will be fully prepared for me to frequent high school occasions.
Lin Yuhai slowly put down the letter and took out another thing from the drawer that came with the letter.
This is a delicate gold bracelet with extremely intricate patterns and a very classical style, and most importantly, a red gemstone is set in the center of the bracelet, and a blue gemstone on each side of the ruby.
was looking at the jewelry in a daze, and the mobile phone rang suddenly, startling Lin Yuhai.
"Hey, Brother Li?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was also very noisy, Lin Yuhai hummed twice, and finally said: "Brother Li, I have something to do in the field, so I won't come to work." ”
"You just quit all of a sudden? What about your month's salary? ”
Anyway, I can't wait for next month's salary, Lin Yuhai sighed, thought about it, and finally looked at Li Guimin for taking care of him in the past, and said, "It's okay, thank you Brother Li, but ...... Has the price of rice, flour, grain and oil increased over there? Oh...... Because I have been in F City these days, I found that the price of rice and flour has risen sharply, and I heard my sister say that there are still people robbing in L City, and it is estimated that the price of G City will rise soon, well, yes, you can buy more while the price has not yet risen. ”
After a few more words, Lin Yuhai hung up the phone and put the bracelet in his pocket, it seemed that he was going out again.
The market for jewelry is not good, is the market for antique jewelry good?
