Chapter 249 Grandpa's Diary
Mi Xia led Zhang Susu to a manor in the suburbs. From the outside, this private museum was spectacular and a particularly large building.
The exterior looks very solemn, with black and gold plaques and white pillars, and the magnificence of the museum is right before your eyes.
Zhang Susu had seen big scenes before, so her face showed no expression, but she was still quite shocked inside.
Mi Xia took Zhang Susu straight to the entrance of the museum. After buying the ticket, Mi Xia couldn't wait to go in. She felt that the things in this museum would not disappoint her, so she was so anxious to go in.
Walking into the museum, Mi Xia discovered that the area inside was also very large. A famous architect built this very magnificent museum.
Mi Xia led the group followed by Zhang Susu to the first exhibition hall. There were quite a lot of exhibits here. Mi Xia found that someone was explaining these things, so she took Zhang Susu to follow behind and listen.
The main subjects were Tao Te Ching, the Bible, and various religious books. Mi Xia had no interest in them so she didn't read much.
There are ten huge paintings hanging in the second exhibition hall, all of which are typical Rothko monochrome gradient oil paintings, with colors ranging from black to dark.
The colors are different at first glance and after looking at them for a long time, giving people a solemn and oppressive mood. Some walls have single paintings, and some have four paintings in a row.
In the first exhibition hall, Mi Xia saw the Qin bronze bell, Warring States Period, 3rd-5th century BC, 61 cm high and 25.7 cm wide.
Painted pottery cup, Western Han Dynasty, height 11.6 cm, jade pig, Eastern Han Dynasty, length 11.4 cm... Mi Xia felt very uncomfortable when she saw them. She would definitely bring all these things back to China if she had the chance in the future.
The last exhibition hall is the items from the Second World War, including daggers, guns, short blades and the like, among which there is also a diary.
Mi Xia took a closer look out of curiosity, and was shocked to see, was this her grandfather's diary? There are names written on the surface!
Mi Xia couldn't take other things away for the time being, but she had to take this diary away as a gift for her grandfather.
Mi Xia calmly called a staff member over and pointed at the dagger next to her and asked, "Can I buy this item?"
The other party was instantly fascinated by Mi Xia as soon as he saw her, and looked at her stupidly, "Hello, hello!"
"Oh~ hello, hello, is there anything I can help you with?" The young man touched his head embarrassedly. Mi Xia was really too pretty.
"Is this item for sale?" Mi Xia pointed at the dagger and asked again.
The young man became much more polite because of his impolite behavior just now. Besides, Mi Xia was so beautiful, he didn't mind saying a few more words. It would be even better if he could ask for her contact information.
"Oh, this one costs ten thousand dollars." The young man didn't dare to say too high a price, for fear of scaring Mi Xia away. How could he proceed with the next things then?
"Is it so expensive?" Mi Xia asked with a frown. Looking at the dagger that was mostly rusted, she was even more certain that this guy was trying to cheat her.
The guy is really trying to rip Mi Xia off. The workers here always ask for super high prices when they see Chinese products. It's up to you to buy or not. These are their Chinese products, and they are the ones who are anxious.
"It's cheap. I'll make the deal for you today. How about eight hundred dollars?" The young man asked attentively. He was willing to sacrifice himself in order to get Mi Xia's contact information.
You know, if he sells for 10,000 US dollars, his commission can be 100 US dollars. Now he has lost 20 US dollars by selling for 80,000 US dollars.
"What about this thing?" Mi Xia asked, pointing at her grandfather's diary.
"This broken child, ah no, such a precious child is..." Before the young man finished speaking, he saw Mi Xia looking at him strangely, "What...what happened?"
"Are you kidding me? This is obviously a broken piece. You just said it was a broken piece. Why did you change your words and say it is a precious piece?" Mi Xia said in a pretended angry tone.
"You are such a liar. You want $10,000 for a broken dagger, but what about this broken thing? Do you want $20,000? You are such a liar!"
Mi Xia's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, so only her younger sister Zhang Susu could hear it. After all, she didn't want to cause trouble.
"Don't be angry, sister. This thing is not worth much, only two dollars. I didn't fool you this time. This is the price set by our museum's owner." The effect was to apologize with a smile.
"I want this one, give it to me." Seeing that the price was about the same, Mi Xia said nothing more. She didn't believe that two hundred dollars was the price set by the owner.
This guy must have made money, but Mi Xia didn't care. If two dollars could make the old man happy, then it would be worth it.
Zhang Susu stood aside and looked at Shuang Mi Xia in confusion. Mi Xia actually spent two dollars to buy a broken house! If she didn't know Mi Xia well, she would probably think Mi Xia was a fool.
The process went smoothly. The guy was very motivated because he could make money, and the handover was completed quickly.
"Little sister, can you leave me your contact information? If you like these, how about I call you when I have new ones?"
The young man looked at Mi Xia nervously. He had never seen such a beautiful girl before, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Thank you then." Mi Xia smiled and said a number! At first, Zhang Susu thought Mi Xia was really going to give her her number, and she was very nervous. She knew at first glance that this guy was not a good person.
So how can Zhang Susu not be anxious? But when Mi Xia reported the number, she was no longer worried, because the number Mi Xia gave was not the one in her dormitory at all.
"Have you remembered it?" Mi Xia asked with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I'll call you next time I get new stuff!" The young man said excitedly. He said next time, but he wanted to make an appointment with Mi Xia tonight and he couldn't wait any longer.
"Then we'll leave first, see you next time!" Mi Xia waved her hand and said, if it was later, Mi Xia might not be able to get away so easily.
But now? That’s not easy! Look, isn’t this getting rid of it?
"Mi Xia, why did you spend so much money to take pictures of a broken girl?" Zhang Susu asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.
"This is my grandfather's diary. Look, his name is on it!" Mi Xia took out the diary and handed it to Zhang Susu, then she casually threw the diary into the space.
"Oh, it's your grandfather's diary. No wonder you spent so much money to buy it." Zhang Susu said with envy. It feels so good to be able to buy something you want when you see it.
Zhang Susu thought that she must make good money in the future, and she must not be like now, where she cannot afford the things she likes. She has experienced this feeling countless times since she was a child.
"Then let's go back to school. The day of returning home is getting closer and closer, so we should study hard." Zhang Susu said happily. This trip was not in vain. She learned a lot from Mi Xia.
