Chapter 12 Betting

There is naturally a reason why Zhu Suisui said this.

She just remembered that the jade cup that Lu Lanxu asked her to give to Grandpa Lu was seen by Grandpa Mei in her previous life. He offered five hundred yuan and wanted to buy it from Grandpa Lu.

But in this life, what he saw on the jade cup was red mist, but what he saw on the seal was blue mist.

She had a bold guess that different colors of mist might represent the different values ​​of things.

In addition, the strange man asked for a high price of one thousand yuan just after he bought the seal.

Although he looked young, careful observation revealed that he was well-dressed and spoke in a manner that was not commonplace, but rather seemed to come from a well-established family.

Therefore, the value of this seal is generally higher than that of a jade cup.

Even if it was worth less than the jade cup, it definitely would not be worth only a few dozen dollars as Lu Taiping said.

Based on this point, Zhu Suisui was even more certain that he had picked up a bargain with this seal.

Even experts make mistakes sometimes, let alone someone like Lu Taiping who is not an expert.

The value of antiques is artificially determined, and the price is decided by those who know about them. Picking up bargains means making a profit from the price difference as the market changes.

Or it is because of information asymmetry that some people know the value of something, while others don’t, and can buy it at a low price.

Or it changes due to people's pursuit of it. For example, diamonds are not rare in themselves, but they are artificially marketed to have a value. In order to sell diamonds at a high price, the United States directly bought the entire diamond mine and monopolized the market.

Zhu Suisui doesn't understand antiques, but he can understand people's hearts.

She said this, and no one could refute it.

As expected.

Lu Taiping was indeed not an expert in this area. He became more and more dissatisfied when Zhu Suisui said that. He could only perfunctorily say, "Then let's do it this way. As long as you like it, Suisui."

He had good intentions and wanted to help Zhu Suisui.

You know, spending 500 yuan to buy such a broken thing, even if he has money, as a businessman, he feels it is not worth it.

Now, Zhu Suisui still doesn't appreciate it, so there is no need for him to cover for others anymore.

However, Lu Taiping seemed to have thought of something, and he looked at Zhu Suisui with pretentious kindness, and said, "But Suisui, since you are so sure that this is a rare item, I have a nephew coming over later. His family has been studying antiques for generations, and my nephew is an expert in this field. I can let him help you take a look."

Without waiting for Zhu Suisui to speak.

Lu Xueke jumped out again and agreed on behalf of Zhu Suisui, "Sister-in-law has confirmed that this is worth a lot of money, so why not see what the professionals say? After all, it's useless to argue here. The real deal has to be seen by the experts."

Finished.

He also gave Zhu Suisui a provocative look.

Mr. Lu listened here for a long time without saying anything. He finally couldn't help but speak. He frowned and said, "Whether it's true or not, it's not as important as whether Sui Sui likes it. You're arguing here over such a small matter. Taiping, you seem to have a lot of free time."

Lu Taiping sensed his father's displeasure.

This means protecting Zhu Suisui.

Lu Taiping naturally didn't want to offend Old Man Lu. He was indeed a bit petty. Otherwise, according to seniority, he wouldn't have bothered arguing with a junior. He just wanted to slap Zhu Suisui in the face because she had just questioned his ability.

But now that Mr. Lu was speaking, he had no choice but to say, "Father, you are right. I just made a suggestion casually."

Lu Xueke didn't expect her uncle to be so opportunistic, and she naturally became more and more angry. She didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to humiliate Zhu Suisui, so she deliberately said something to taunt her.

"I can understand my sister-in-law's fear of having an expert look at her. After all, she made a mistake. I would be ashamed if I were her. How could I dare to embarrass myself in public?"

When Lu Taiping said this, Zhu Suisui had an idea.

In fact, she really wanted to find someone to help her take a look so as to determine what her special ability was. Only by determining the value could she know what color was approximately in what value range.

Families like the one Lu Taiping mentioned who have been studying antiques for generations must have accumulated a high level of professional knowledge. If I want to find such people to help me look at the items on a daily basis, either they will deceive me and deliberately lower the price so that I can take the opportunity to buy them from them at a low price, or I will have to pay someone to appraise the value myself.

And now is a rare good opportunity.

Lu Xueke was obviously trying to taunt her, and she knew it. If she just agreed to her words, she would not be happy about it.

Think of this.

Zhu Suisui pretended to be irritated, looked at Lu Xueke and said, "Suppose I didn't make a mistake, but now you insist that I was deceived and say that I am embarrassing. You are not an expert, and the matter is not conclusive. You may be wrong. Since you slander me like this, don't you have to apologize to me?"

Hearing this.

Lu Xueke was secretly delighted, this meant she had agreed. She was not afraid of Zhu Suisui saying this, but was afraid that she would not respond.

It's good now.

She had a chance to slap someone in the face.

Lu Xueke said immediately: "Okay, if I really said it wrong, then I will apologize to you in front of everyone. Not only that, I will also pay the two hundred yuan for you. But if you are wrong, then you are not allowed to use the Lu family's money indiscriminately in the future, and you must admit your mistake to me."

An apology was inevitable, but the two hundred yuan was an unexpected surprise.

Originally, she used Lu Lanxu's money, and she planned to pay it back with interest. Now that Lu Xueke was the scapegoat, she was naturally happy to do so.

After all, asking the proud little princess to apologize would probably make her extremely ashamed and angry. Add to that the bleeding from the cut flesh, and it's estimated that for a long time, Lu Xueke would get up in the middle of the night and hammer herself in the chest whenever she thought of this incident.

And after this incident, the entire Lu family knew that they were not soft persimmons that could be easily bullied.

As for whether she would lose or not, that was not within her consideration.

Zhu Suisui readily agreed.

"Sui Sui." Old Master Lu frowned slightly and called out.

Seeing Master Lu like this, Lu Xueke hurriedly said, "Master, this is a matter between me and my cousin's wife. She has promised me, so you are not allowed to regret it."

She was afraid that her father would get involved and the matter would fail.

Zhu Suisui just said gently: "Grandpa, I also want to know the value of my seal."

See this.

Mr. Lu didn't say anything else.

Lu Xueke breathed a sigh of relief.

But for some reason, seeing Zhu Suisui like this, Lu Xueke inexplicably felt as if she was on a pirate ship. But then she thought that Zhu Suisui was just from the country, how could she have seen good things? Even Lu Taiping said it was not worth much, so how could she really get a bargain?

Thinking of this, Lu Xueke felt relieved again.

There was movement outside.

You Rong walked in and said with a smile: "Why are you all staying here? Almost everyone outside has arrived. Let's go to the living room first. We can have dinner later."

Almost everyone has arrived?

Zhu Suisui suddenly remembered what Lu Lanxu said to him before he left.

This time he would come with her.

so.

Is Lu Lanxu really here?
