Chapter 34: Heirlooms

Inside an antique shop in Xi'an.

"Sir, what do you want to buy?" asked the man at the antique shop, when he saw someone coming in.

"Well, I'll take a casual look first. The person said.

"Okay, you can look at it, if there is a picture, you can call me, and I can explain it to you. The guy said politely.

The antique shop here, due to the proximity to the tourist attractions, and Xi'an is the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties that have built the capital here, there is an endless stream of people who come to travel, and most of the goods in the store are some handicrafts for tourists to buy back to commemorate. There are really good things, but there are fewer than those on the stalls. This is a very strange phenomenon.

"Man, is your boss here?" asked the man who had just come in to the man.

"Yes, do you have anything to do with our boss?" the guy wondered, what are you doing with the boss this early in the morning.

"I have something I want to sell, you go and call your boss. The man explained.

"Sell something?"

"What's the matter? don't you take it?" asked the man, puzzled.

"No, it's not, wait a minute, I'll go and call the boss for you. The man said yes and hurried upstairs.

In less than a moment, I saw a chubby man walking down behind him.

"Hello, hello, listen to our fellow, you have something to sell, don't you?"

The boss stretched out his hand and shook hands with the man as he spoke.

"Well, this ...... Is there a quiet place, let's talk about it in another place. The man said.

"Hmm? The boss hesitated for a moment, but agreed. Since you want to talk in a different place, it proves that this person has good things and his wealth is not exposed, and everyone knows this.

"Upstairs, please. With that, the boss led the way, followed closely by the man. Before going upstairs, he didn't forget to look back, for fear that someone would be staring at him.

"Come, please be seated. The boss said to the man. "I heard you're going to sell something, can you take it out and have a look?"

The man looked around vigilantly, as if he were a thief.

"Hehe, brother, don't worry, there is no one else upstairs except the two of us. The boss saw the man's worry and said with a smile.

The man smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm smiling, I'm a family heirloom, passed down from my ancestors, it's been more than 2,000 years." If you don't need money urgently, you won't be willing to sell it. Hey, I'm afraid the old ancestor will blame. ”

"Oh, what is it?" the boss was interested in the things that were almost 2,000 years old, and he had seen things that were 100 years old, and he had seen them for 500 years.

The man carefully took out a small box from his bosom and put it on the table, and then gently opened it, as if with a little force, the contents would disappear.

"What is this?" the boss saw a fist-sized ball in the box, just like the two Tai Chi Qiu that people often grabbed in their hands. But there is only one.

"The pearl of the night. The man whispered.

This man is Liang Jun who entered the underground palace with Qin Shaojie.

He had never experienced anything like that, he didn't sleep well all night, but he thought of getting a night pearl, and that little worry ran to Java as soon as possible, as long as he didn't talk nonsense, he could live well.

Early this morning, as soon as the antique city opened, he took the night pearl and prepared to sell it, and he didn't have to do the work of a private tour guide in the future.

The night pearl of more than 2,000 years can be sold for a lot of money.

"Night Pearl?" the boss asked, apparently not believing this thing to be the Night Pearl. It's not like I've never seen the Night Pearl, it's so big, Damn, I won't deliberately come to have fun, right?

Liang Jun saw that the boss didn't believe it, so he said to the boss, "You close the curtains and close the door." ”

The boss knew that he wanted to verify for him, this was the real pearl of the night. I got up and did it.

The curtains were thick flannel curtains, and when they were pulled up, the room suddenly darkened.

Liang Jun slowly opened the box. I saw that the beads, which were still dim just now, shone brightly in an instant, and the whole room was illuminated.

“...... This, this is the real pearl of the night. The boss looked at the night pearl and muttered.

He is almost 50 years old this year and has been running an antique shop for more than 20 years. I've seen a lot of Night Pearls, but it's the first time I've seen such a big one.

"How's that? Liang Jun looked at the boss's surprised expression and knew that the price was definitely not low.

I said...... Brother, are you really passed down from your ancestors?" the boss looked at Liang Jun and asked.

"Is that still wrong, let me tell you, my ancestor was the general of Qin Shi Huang's army, have you seen the movie "Myth". Yes, it is the Meng Yi played by Jackie Chan, my ancestor, is his official position. ”

"That'...... What is this thing?"

"Hehe" Liang Jun smiled and said, "This night pearl, it was once in the year, Emperor Qin went out to travel quickly, was assassinated, my ancestor desperately saved the driver, only to protect Emperor Qin, this bead was given to my ancestor by Emperor Qin." Liang Jun made up the story, and his head was also Taoist, and his expression was proud, as if it was really his family's business.

The boss got up, opened the curtains, and then made two more cups of tea, and then said, "Brother, to be honest, I can't take this thing." ”

"Can't afford it?" Brother, tell me the truth, how much is this thing worth?" Liang Jun heard the boss say that he couldn't afford to accept it, and he knew that the value of this bead had exceeded his imagination. Before he came in the morning, he checked some information, and this fist-sized night pearl was worth about 7-8 million.

"To be honest, this thing, according to the size and luster, you this, at least worth about 15 million, but this thing is a cultural relic, this value is difficult to say, it is tens of millions, hundreds of millions, it is not an exaggeration, however, this is to be auctioned, if you are in a hurry to use the money, then directly find a buyer, a price, if you want to make more, go to the auction house. "The boss can't afford to take away this night pearl, a bead will top his store's assets several times.

Liang Jun listened to the boss's words, and his heart was already excited. I didn't expect that I almost lost my life this time, and this bead was worth so much money. Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, I don't do anything in this life, just eat, drink and have fun, and I can't spend it in this life.

"This ...... , can you help me contact the auction house?" Liang Jun thought for a while, and felt that it was better to auction, after all, this is the only one, and if it is sold, it will be gone, and it is always good to make more money. Who is afraid of money?

"Okay, brother, you have opened my eyes, I have been in the industry for more than 20 years, and it is the first time I have seen such a big night pearl, I will help you contact the auction. The boss readily agreed.

As the saying goes, do a line, love a line, since he opened an antique shop, the love for antiques is not a star. This time I was fortunate to see this night pearl, although I can't afford it, but it will always be good to help him.
