Chapter 37 Zhou Ruotong: Uncle, give me money! 【Ask for monthly ticket】
There really are no secrets when dealing with smart people.
Li Yu took a deep breath, considered his words for a moment, and then said:
"There is indeed one. It seems to be a jade pendant belonging to a certain Taifu in the Han Dynasty."
This time it was Zhou Ruotong's turn to be surprised.
This is the jade pendant of the Imperial Tutor of the Han Dynasty. If this is brought to the capital, my uncle will be so happy that his nose will bubble, right?
She didn’t care about drinking tea anymore:
"Can I take a look first? Don't worry, no matter how you deal with it in the end, I will keep it absolutely confidential and will not reveal a word to the outside world."
Cultural relic collectors are most afraid of their collections being passed around.
In the past, a thief broke into someone's home and not only robbed them of cultural relics, but also had their legs broken. The reason was that this person boasted about his collection at the wine table.
The B\u0026B is in the wilderness, so I should be more afraid of being missed.
Li Yu stood up and said:
"Wait a moment, I'll get it."
He returned to the room, opened the cabinet with the key, and took out Yuan Wei's jade pendant.
I don't know how much money I can get if I sell it to the museum... Li Yu put the jade that Jia Xu gave him deep in the cabinet, locked it, and then went downstairs with the jade pendant.
In the living room downstairs, Zhou Ruotong dug out the photos of Han Dynasty jade pendants taken in the museum.
There is a single jade pendant, and there are also jade pendants made up of several pieces.
Unfortunately, these jade pendants were not only severely oxidized due to their age, but also the ropes they were tied with were completely decayed.
Especially for jade pendants, most of them only have a few scattered pieces of jade left. The combination can only be completed by modern people's simulation and imagination, and it is rare to see them in their complete state.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Li Yu carrying a set of jade pendants downstairs. It actually had a rope and could be carried in his hand. It was obviously very strong.
God, if this was really a jade pendant from the Han Dynasty, it would be worthy of being included in the National Museum if it were so complete.
Where did Li Yu get it?
Thoughts were flying in Zhou Ruotong's mind, and the calmness and indifference of the past were completely gone.
"Look, Miss Zhou, can this be sold to a museum?"
Handing over the jade pendant, Li Yu was mentally prepared. If he couldn't sell it, he would find a way to borrow hundreds of thousands more to get the project funds first.
Sun Facai cheated Wang Chunxi once, but I can't cheat him a second time.
Zhou Ruotong took out the rubber gloves from his bag and put them on, then carefully took the jade pendant and observed it carefully.
There is no seal on the jade that is common on antique jade, and the rope is intact without any traces of decay. With this kind of quality, if you go to an ordinary antique store, you will definitely be kicked out by the shopkeeper.
But from the perspective of cultural relics research, this set of jade pendants is priceless.
The binding method and knot combination are very particular, and they look like works of art. The relationship between several pieces of jade can easily remind people of the Five Virtues popular in the Han Dynasty.
"Every person wears a jade... A gentleman has no reason, and the jade will not be removed from his body. How can a gentleman be more virtuous than jade?"
Zhou Ruotong rubbed the jade pendant and recalled the words in "Book of Rites Tamamo" in his mind, feeling like time and space were intertwined.
Obviously this set of jade pendants is new and looks like modern decorations, but regardless of the carving technique or the way the lanyard is weaved, it is proven that it is a real cultural relic of the Han Dynasty.
How does this Li Yu always come up with new surprises?
She couldn't put it down and watched it several times. After calming down her mood, she said:
"This set of jade pendants is indeed a cultural relic of the Han Dynasty, but in order to be included in the National Museum, it needs to be sent to the capital for a series of tests... Li Yu, can you authorize me to do this?"
Zhou Ruotong was very excited. If it could pass the official appraisal, then this set of jade pendants would probably cause a sensation in the archaeological circle.
The secret must be kept well, and Li Yu cannot be harassed and investigated.
Otherwise, if he had similar cultural relics, he would probably be beaten to death by not selling them to the museum again.
"Assemble a jade pendant?"
Li Yu has never heard of this term.
Zhou Ruotong explained while holding the jade pendant:
"This kind of accessory composed of several pieces of jade is called a jade pendant in the archaeological industry."
Although Li Yu was very interested in including it in the museum, he wanted to know whether it would be enough to make up for the shortfall in funds for this project.
If not, then you have to find a way to get Lu Bu to get more gold cakes or other things. Otherwise, how can this office run if it cannot make ends meet?
“How much can it be sold to the National Museum?”
His straightforward question confused Zhou Ruotong, who was immersed in academics.
"This...I can't tell. It's probably hundreds of thousands, but I have to go back to the capital for testing first. Only when the test results come out can we determine other things."
Hundreds of thousands?
That's almost enough to fill the hole.
Li Yu thought that he would have to pay for the project in the next few days, and couldn't help but ask:
"When are you leaving?"
"Let's go now... I'll transfer you 100,000 yuan first, which is regarded as a deposit. When the test results come out, it's up to you to decide what to do with it."
With such a treasure of academic value, Zhou Ruotong could not wait to fly to the capital immediately.
She picked up her mobile phone, first transferred 100,000 yuan to Li Yu, and then bought two high-speed rail tickets to Beijing.
Select a business class seat, place your order and pay.
While waiting for the ticket to be issued, Zhou Ruotong glanced at Ge Huihui, who was playing with Brother Dao in the yard. This girl sent him to Yinzhou, and now it was his turn to send her back to Beijing.
It focuses on the love between sisters.
Li Yu received the deposit and asked curiously:
"If I find something better in the future, can I sell it to the National Museum through you?"
Zhou Ruotong shook his head gently:
"The research value of jade pendants is very high, but there is still a gap between the commercial artistic value and porcelain, so I can help cover it up through my family connections. If you want to get a national treasure-level cultural relic, there is nothing I can do."
Li Yu understood it as soon as he heard it.
Any cultural relics that are cheaper than this set of jade pendants can be resold to the museum with help from Zhou Ruotong.
As for the expensive ones, just keep them for now.
Anyway, I already have a jade from the Warring States Period and a famous sword from the Han Dynasty. When more cultural relics are exchanged in the future, I can set up a private museum to display valuable cultural relics.
The most valuable cultural relic in history is probably the lost imperial seal.
I remember that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Jian took the lead in rushing into the burned-out city of Luoyang. Under the guidance of the five-color divine light, he found the imperial seal from a dry well, and then he had the idea of going to Jiangdong to become independent.
Now that he has come into contact with the world of the Three Kingdoms, let Lu Bu do the dirty work of finding things.
Zhou Ruotong wrapped the jade pendant and stuffed it into the compartment of the bag. He handed the information he got from his uncle to Li Yu, and then shouted to Ge Huihui who was playing outside:
"Hui Hui, let's go to the high-speed rail station. I have something I didn't bring with me and I have to go home."
She didn't mention the jade pendant, not because she couldn't trust her old classmates, but mainly because it involved Li Yu, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
When the age of the jade pendant was determined, she would not mention Li Yu's identity. Instead, she would contact people at the National Museum in the name of "Unnamed Mr. Li."
Ge Huihui ran in and looked at the clock hanging on the wall:
"It's not even two o'clock yet, why are you so anxious?"
"I have already bought a high-speed rail ticket. Let's go back quickly. I have to rush back today."
After saying that, Zhou Ruotong drank the tea in the cup, stood up and walked out.
Ge Huihui had no choice but to put the bouncing ball in his hand back to its original position:
"Brother Dao, I'll come over to play with you on Friday. Then I'll take you to Longqi Mountain to worship the good-luck cat. It will give you great luck and good luck."
The big golden retriever was originally very excited to play, but after hearing this, he tilted his head thoughtfully, suddenly bared his teeth and growled, and scratched the ground with his paws.
"What's wrong? Can't wait to go?"
Ge Huihui patted Brother Dao on the head, put on his coat, took his bag, and quickly caught up with Zhou Ruotong.
After getting in the car, the two waved to Li Yu and then drove down the mountain along the cement road.
"The girl driving the car is so beautiful, is she your girlfriend?"
Back in the yard, Wang Chunxi asked with a smile.
Li Yu shook his head:
"How can I be so lucky?"
He took the Three Kingdoms information given by Zhou Ruotong, sat on a chair in the living room, and studied it carefully.
At 2:40 in the afternoon, we were on the high-speed train bound for Beijing.
Zhou Ruotong was sitting in the large business seat, eating the dried fish that Ge Huihui took out of the bag like a magic trick.
"Boss Li invested a lot of money in his B\u0026B, right?"
Ever since Hamster Hui got in the car, he hasn't stopped talking, either eating snacks or gossiping about various issues.
Zhou Ruotong wiped the oil stains on his fingers:
"I must have borrowed several million, but I don't have much business. I often worry about money."
Well, if it weren't for the lack of money, Li Yu probably wouldn't be so eager to sell cultural relics to the museum.
Speaking of money, she suddenly remembered that her uncle had asked her to find cultural relics from the Han Dynasty, and said that there would be a huge reward if she found them.
Now that I have found a set of Han Dynasty jade pendants, let me ask my uncle for some reward to Li Yu to ease the financial pressure on the B\u0026B owner.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ruotong opened WeChat and sent a message to his uncle Zhou Bingshan:
"Uncle, I asked someone to buy a set of Han Dynasty jade pendants today. I'm on my way back to Beijing now. You should quickly arrange for the museum to test it. Also, don't forget to promise me a thank you fee."
Zhou Bingshan was drinking tea at home. When he saw this news, several questions popped up in his mind.
I just asked this girl yesterday, but I didn't expect to get a big harvest today. Yinzhou is indeed a famous historical city that has lasted for thousands of years. There are treasures everywhere. I will go around when I am not busy.
He was thinking about asking about the specific situation when Zhou Ruotong couldn't wait to send another message:
"Uncle, give me money!"
