Chapter 1892 Daughter follows mother's path 2
The jewelry box is made of huanghuali wood, which is slightly lighter than red wood such as rosewood, but the things in the box are not light. They are a pair of round jade bracelets lined with black velvet. They are full of emerald green, evenly rich and bright. The only problem is that the hand-polishing using the old craftsmanship is not very good, and the surface is slightly uneven, and it does not show the crystal clearness of the icy jade.
In the past, due to limitations of excavation technology, most of the jadeite that could be mined were from the shallow surface, and the ground was mostly relatively rough. Just look at the jadeite in the Qing Palace cultural relics to understand this. Therefore, ice jadeite was considered the best quality at the time.
Of course, there is glass type, but it is extremely rare.
“This is no ordinary thing!” After twenty or thirty years, it will be worth at least tens of millions, maybe even hundreds of millions. After all, it is a pair. Although it is inevitable that some jadeite has defects such as cotton and impurities, and it is not the best jadeite, but it has a good full green color and excellent water quality. You can't see any so-called defects on it.
Zhou Mingyu smiled, "You really know what you are talking about."
After a pause, she continued, "This pair of bracelets is no worse than the twisted bracelets. The twisted bracelets were made by removing the flaws during carving, so they had to be made into a twisted style. Mine is a round bar, waste material, but also good material. I spent a total of 50,000 yuan."
Feng Qingxue quickly pushed it back, "I can't accept such an expensive item."
During difficult times, she exchanged food for jewelry on the black market. She didn't feel guilty because that was the market situation at the time. Those who were willing to exchange food understood that food was more important than jewelry. She gave a lot of food, and others said she was very generous!
Zhou Mingyu smiled again, her brows relaxed, and she was still elegant. "Times have changed. How much is this thing worth? Many pieces of jewelry sold to foreigners in the Friendship Store are only a hundred yuan each, and are even less valuable than what I want. I know that things that should be valuable will definitely be valuable in the future, and gold and jewelry will appreciate more than money, but I may not be able to wait until then. Here you go, take it. The other day when I was sweeping the streets, I saw you taking your children out for fun. It would be nice to pass it on to your daughter as a dowry."
Feng Qingxue really liked jadeite, and the pair of bracelets in front of her were top-grade, so she stopped being pretentious and said, "Then I'll accept it, old lady. You don't have to return the money to me, or I'll feel guilty about it."
Zhou Mingyu thought about it and agreed, "You are at a disadvantage. This thing is not worth five hundred now."
"It will definitely be worth it in the future. I won't suffer any loss." Feng Qingxue has always been a person who repays others with kindness. She took out a bundle of Great Unity bills and stuffed them into her hand, avoiding the gazes of passers-by. There were 100 bills in this bundle.
Zhou Mingyu was very smart, how could he not notice it? He naturally felt very comfortable.
"After selling some things, the Cultural Relics Store and the Friendship Store will take some more things out of the warehouse and put them on the counter. I can see that you are well-off and like these things, so you might as well go shopping more. Money will depreciate sooner or later, but jewelry and antiques are different. They are all things that can be passed down from generation to generation. Things that you bought for a few dollars or a hundred dollars will definitely make a thousand times the profit in time."
After all, he is an old man with life experience, with a precise and unique vision, and his insights are exactly the same as Lu's father. Feng Qingxue said she was taught. Isn't this the reason why she borrowed money to buy these things?
Of course, another reason is that we don’t want cultural relics to be lost overseas.
It just doesn't make sense that it was first lost overseas and then bought back by another country or compatriots at a high price.
