Ye Xunmei didn't stay in a hotel. Lu Mo told him to stay at home. After all, he was eighty years old. If something happened to him while he was staying in a hotel, no one would know. It would be safer for him to stay at home. He also assigned a driver to serve Ye Xunmei so that he could visit friends and family.
As soon as Ye Xunmei got home, he asked Ye Qingqing to bring out the jar. He examined it for a long time, looking very excited, and Ye Qingqing was even more excited.
"Is it true?" Ye Qingqing asked.
"Yes, it's definitely from the Tang Dynasty." Ye Xunmei played with the jar, admiring it. What exquisite pottery, what beautiful colors! The ancients were amazing. It's a pity that these techniques have been lost.
Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up even more. The Tang Dynasty was so ancient, the antiques must be very valuable.
"These two jars must be quite valuable, right?"
Ye Xunmei glanced at her indifferently, her eyes full of disapproval, "Don't keep talking about money, it's so vulgar."
My granddaughter is good in every way, except that she is too obsessed with money, which is a bad thing.
Ye Qingqing scoffed, "If you didn't like money, why did you swindle tens of thousands of yuan from my grandma back then? At least I liked money openly and honestly, which is much more noble than your hypocritical act."
Ye Xunmei was mortified. This was the biggest stain on his life, and his granddaughter would always bring it up from time to time, making him feel inferior in front of her. Alas, he was reckless and ignorant in his youth, and now he regretted it but could never go back.
“Grandpa made mistakes in the past, but he’s already correcting them. Qingqing, don’t keep bringing it up. Give Grandpa some face,” Ye Xunmei said gently.
"Who told you to call me vulgar just now?" Ye Qingqing retorted.
"I'm not going to say it anymore, I won't say it again."
Ye Xunmei raised his hands to beg for mercy. He couldn't argue with this girl; after all, he was too weak to argue back!
Seeing Ye Xunmei fiddling with the jars with obvious delight, Ye Qingqing became curious about their value and asked again.
"It's hard to say for sure yet. I'll call a friend over to take a look. It's that old man Yu who gave you the agarwood bracelet before, named Yu Ziwu. He built his own museum." Ye Xunmei couldn't be sure. He wasn't good at estimating prices; he could only give a rough idea. Yu Ziwu was the real expert and knew the market very well.
Ye Qingqing raised her wrist, revealing a dark bracelet that emitted a unique fragrance. For a period of time, she had been waking up easily and having many dreams, so she took out this bracelet and put it on. It worked very well; now she sleeps like a log, sleeping soundly until dawn.
"I'm wearing them right now. It's quite a coincidence, the old gentleman who first recognized these two jars as antiques is also surnamed Yu. He's also friends with this Mr. Yu. He even called this morning to say that Yu Ziwu wanted to buy my jars, and I returned the favor," Ye Qingqing said with a smile.
The antique circle is quite small; you'll mostly be dealing with acquaintances.
"I'm treating Yu Ziwu and a few friends to dinner tonight, and we'll talk then."
Ye Xunmei asked Ye Qingqing to put the jars away. Actually, he had other plans. A friend said that the two jars had great historical and cultural research value, far exceeding their collection value. So he had other plans, but he needed to discuss them with Miao Tianxiang.
The next day, Yu Ziwu and several elderly gentlemen came to Ye Qingqing's house at Ye Xunmei's invitation. Ye Qingqing waited for them at home. The jar had been carefully cleaned by Ye Xunmei the night before and was radiating a unique light. The most unique thing was its ceramic color, which was indescribably beautiful. It looked much more sophisticated than it had yesterday.
The group studied the jar for a long time before finally reaching a conclusion.
"It's definitely Tang Dynasty celadon, and this slender-necked jar is the first of its kind to be discovered. Its value is immeasurable." Yu Ziwu was excited. He thought he would want this jar no matter how much it cost.
