Chapter 15: Buying Jade
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“If you don’t show it to me, how will you know if I’ll buy it or not?”
He Youran asked.
“That’s right, my mommy is rich!”
He Shouxin also chimed in.
“She doesn’t have two bills in her pocket, and she’s quite good at putting on airs!” The boss muttered softly.
The really wealthy wouldn’t be coming to the antiques city? They were all going to the auctions!
However, when he saw the two of them standing there as if they wouldn’t leave until he took out the jade pendant, the boss was so annoyed that he could only walk over and open the counter. He took out the jade pendant and threw it in front of He Youran.
He Youran picked up the jade pendant and touched its surface with satisfaction. She asked, “How do I pay for it?”
The boss was stunned.
Where did this idiot come from? This piece of broken jade wasn’t of the right color, and the water colour wasn’t good either. It could only be sold for a price in an antique city. If it was sold at a roadside stall, it could only be sold for 500 yuan at most!
However, it would be a waste not to do business.
The boss’s small eyes darted around. He quickly took out his phone and switched to the payment page.
“Full amount. I don’t support payment by installments!”
“Okay.”
He Youran paid the bill and dragged He Shouxin out the door.
Just as they reached the door, they saw a person walking towards them. As he walked, he turned his head and spoke to the person behind him.
“It’s rare for you to come here, so let’s just take a stroll!”
His voice ecstatic and his footsteps were hurried and fast. Seeing that he didn’t notice them, He Youran hurriedly pulled He Shouxin to the side, but she still couldn’t defend herself.
The man swung his long arm, and just as he was about to open the door, his fingers hit He Youran’s shoulder. He was quite strong, and He Youran couldn’t help but loosen her grip on the jade pendant.
“Ding!” The jade pendant fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
He Youran quickly went to pick it up.
The man also hurriedly squatted down.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it!”
That person apologized profusely.
He Youran was one step ahead of him and picked up the jade pendant. After checking it carefully, it was fortunate that the jade pendant was not damaged.
“Is it broken? If it’s broken, I’ll compensate you!”
The person who bumped into her asked nervously.
“No.”
He Youran shook her head. Just as she was about to leave, she saw a shadow fall in front of her.
She looked up and saw a handsome man wearing casual clothes.
He was very tall, about 190 years old. He had a tall and slender figure. Even though he was dressed in casual clothes, he still gave off an imposing aura. At this moment, his beautiful peach blossom eyes were slightly narrowed as he stared at the jade pendant in her hand.
“It’s a good piece of jade.”
He spoke with a calm voice like a cold spring. It was very pleasing to the ear.
“Thank you. You know what’s good.”
He Youran nodded. She was not modest at all. After she finished speaking, she held He Shouxin’s hand and left.
He Yaobai turned his head to glance at her before walking into Tang Baozhai with He Yunfei.
The boss had just sold the goods and was in a good mood. When he saw that there were customers at his door, he naturally greeted them with a smile.
“What do you two want to buy?”
The boss asked as he sized up the two of them. Although they were dressed casually, the material and style of their clothes were obviously not ordinary. Instantly, his attitude became even better.
Today was really a good day for him!
First, he sold the imitation at a high price, and then he welcomed two distinguished guests!
He was already so excited that he imagined himself counting the money until his hands went soft!
“Boss, how much is the jade pendant that the lady bought just now?”
He Yaobai asked.
He did not expect that there would be such good goods in the antique city, and he also did not expect that there would be people who could afford it!
Most antiques were priceless. Those who could afford the jade pendant were definitely not ordinary people.
“20,000!” The shop owner answered casually and then enthusiastically promoted, “Sir, there are many better things than that jade pendant in our shop. Look over here, this display cabinet is full of the best products in our shop!”
“20,000? !”
Even He Yunfei was shocked by the price!
To be praised as “Good jade” by He Yaobai, that jade pendant was definitely not an ordinary one. The shop owner only sold it for 20,000?
“Yes, the color of that Jade is not good and it is not transparent enough. The quality is only average. Sir, look...”
“That is a Tang dynasty jade pendant,” He Yaobai said.
“That’s right, the pattern is indeed an imitation of the Tang dynasty. The only advantage is the exquisite carving... wait, sir, what did you say just now?” The shop owner who was selling enthusiastically suddenly came to his senses and asked with a trembling voice.
“The auspicious dragon and phoenix are treasures bestowed by Tang Xuanzong to imperial concubine Yang.”
Boom —
As if struck by lightning, the boss was dumbfounded.
“Sir, please don’t joke around! I bought that jade pendant for 200 yuan by the roadside, how could it be from the Tang dynasty? !”
“I’m not joking, it’s true.”
After He Yaobai finished speaking, he left the boss, who was wandering in the sky, to wander around the shop. Although the goods were exquisite, there was nothing that he liked, especially after seeing the jade pendant that the woman bought. Looking at these ordinary things, his mood was gone.
He walked around in boredom and left with He Yunfei.
