The antique dealer was almost embarrassed by Song Yi's questions.
Antiques are not priced based on their age!
Song Yi began to ask himself questions and answer them.
"From the look on your face, I know you don't have it. My Sanyang Liding has a history of more than 3,000 years. Even if these two things are added together, they only have a history of 1,000 years. There's still a gap of two years. You merchants from the Portuguese country are really shrewd in doing business!"
Fang Zongtang even wanted to applaud Song Yi behind the door.
If he had been so smart before, would she have accepted Zhang Xingzu and the others?
He alone can take on seven of them!
The antique dealer hurriedly explained to Song Yi: "Mr. Riley, the value of antiques is not calculated based on age."
Song Yi said directly: "Isn't my Three Sheep Tripod precious? Isn't it rare?"
This question stumped the antique dealer again. He then realized that Mr. Riley was not stupid, but too smart.
When he treats others as fools, maybe others also treat him as a fool.
This deal is going to fall through.
Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the better.
"If you want to exchange my three sheep, you have to give me something that is two thousand years old in exchange."
The antique shop owner's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly said, "There are very few things that are exactly 2,000 years old. Can you put them together to be 2,000 years old? Mr. Riley, don't worry, everything in my antique shop is a fine antique."
Song Yi pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"I won't go over there. I'll let my girlfriend and assistant go over to pick it up later. I have to leave very early tomorrow morning and I need to rest early!"
When the antique dealer heard that it was his girlfriend, a meaningful smile immediately flashed in his eyes and he quickly nodded in agreement.
Song Yi asked the antique dealer to wait downstairs. He closed the door and stood up from his chair. He said to Fang Zongtang who opened the door, "I'll ask Xingzu and a few bodyguards to follow you."
She nodded distractedly, focusing all her attention on the imperial edict.
After reading the content carefully, I was a little surprised.
It was a lease agreement issued by the imperial court to the Kingdom of Portugal. The imperial edict stated that it was for discussion and was not a final conclusion.
In other words, there were a lot of such imperial edicts at that time!
However, there were already signs of chaos at the time, and there were only two outcomes for such shameful correspondence.
One is to seal it tightly, and the other is to destroy it!
Once it is destroyed, we can pretend it does not exist. We can continue to blind our eyes and cover our ears and continue to pretend that the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous.
Although this imperial edict is not very old, it witnessed the rise and fall of the dynasty and is of great historical significance.
The merchants from Portugal mistook the pearl for a fish eye.
"Put your things away."
Song Yi didn't rush to collect his things, but handed the mask in his hand to her first.
"Put this on for safety."
She took it and put it on without hesitation. She went to the mirror again and fixed her hair to disguise herself.
"Okay, let's go!"
Zhang Xingzu hurried after him, holding the Three Sheep Tripod.
When the antique dealer saw Fang Zongtang, he first looked at her neck and wrists.
The valuable ruby necklace and the precious bracelet, the three items together are more expensive than the Three Sheep Tripod.
No wonder they don’t take the bronze tripod seriously at all!
~Not even in a box, just holding it like this~
You follow the same kind of person as me, neither of them knows the value of the person!
When we arrived at the antique shop, it was already closed and two clerks were doing the final cleaning.
The antique shop owner smiled and said, "There is an old saying in Xia country, give and take. You have already accepted my things, shouldn't you let us check their authenticity?"
She waved her hand casually without even looking at him and started choosing things.
