Chapter 361 Qing Dynasty Ancient Jade Butterfly Jade Pendant



The launch of the beauty magazine did cause some response in Hong Kong.

However, because the cover of the first issue featured an unknown newcomer instead of a popular star, it was not very popular.

However, because the cover and color pages are very beautiful, it still attracts many young readers.

In particular, the posters are very exquisite and more suitable for being posted on the wall, which invisibly promotes the magazine and the new movie.

Anyway, the beauty magazine is on the right track, so Xu Nanxing just stopped caring about it.

In addition to going on a shopping spree in shopping malls, jewelry stores, and high-end restaurants, she also found some old antique shops in Hong Kong and bought some antiques.

Anyway, she can see the information of the items and can tell whether the antiques are real or fake at a glance, so she is not afraid of being cheated at all!

She bought these antiques simply because she was afraid that they would end up overseas.

She has money, so the more she can collect, the better!

But maybe she didn't look in the right place, but she rarely found the jade she longed for.

Even in jewelry stores, I have only seen a few jade bracelets, and rarely more.

Not only is the quantity small, the quality of the jade is also quite average, so the energy she can absorb is very little.

Is she also hoping to buy more jade pieces in Hong Kong to upgrade her space?

Unexpectedly, this idea fell through.

At first, Xu Nanxing thought that it was because Hong Kong was more inclined towards Western culture, so there were fewer jade ornaments.

After all, foreigners really don’t understand jade.

Later, Xu Nanxing made some inquiries and found out that high-end fine jade products in Hong Kong are generally not sold in stores, but are auctioned in small private auctions among wealthy circles.

Hong Kong's truly wealthy families still love jade very much.

There are also many rare antique items, most of which are auctioned in these auctions.

Private auction house!

If you are not in that circle, you won’t get any information at all.

This is the importance of circles.

Xu Nanxing was at a loss.

You can't enter a class just by having money. Your status, background, and interest exchange also need to be considered.

As the legitimate daughter of the Li family, Li Shiqi may not be qualified to enter. At most, she can follow the elders in the family to join in the fun.

Because she has no say in the family, only her brother Li Guanhua, as the family heir, has the qualification.

As Xu Nanxing was a lone wolf, he had no way out.

Although she had a lot of money in her hands and could spend money lavishly, she had no foundation and was seen as a nouveau riche by the top wealthy circle, who did not take her seriously at all.

Forget it, I’ll find a way to get these jade pieces later!

This time, Xu Nanxing found a pawnshop with a lot of history, which must have many antique items.

After entering, the ancient and old atmosphere hits you.

This store doesn’t look very big, but judging by the decoration style, it seems to have been there before the Republic of China, right?

To Xu Nanxing's surprise, there were quite a lot of people in the pawnshop.

Looking at these people who come here to trade, you can see that their clothes are very simple and worn out. And when you listen to their accents, you can see that they come from all over the world.

Xu Nanxing understood that these people had all fled to Hong Kong.

These people had some old things in their hands, which they probably brought with them when they came. Without land to farm and before they could find a job, they could only rely on pawning to make a living.

Xu Nanxing was still observing these people when he heard an argument from the counter: "That's just a small amount of money? Are you kidding me? This is my family heirloom!"

She looked over when she heard the sound and saw a young man of about eighteen or nineteen arguing with the pawnshop clerk with an angry look on his face.

What caught Xu Nanxing's attention was that the young man was holding a palm-sized butterfly jade pendant!

Looking at the jade pendant's details, it reads: "Ancient jade butterfly from the Qing Dynasty. 8 cm high, 5.5 cm wide. The jade is soft and smooth, and the carving is exquisite. The round sculpture is free-form, creating a beautiful shape, with the butterfly appearing to spread its wings in flight. The bottom is plain and unadorned, while the back uses a combination of openwork and incised carving to vividly depict the butterfly's beauty. Due to its age, it has developed a lustrous, glassy patina, making it a fine piece of antique jade."

The important thing is that this butterfly jade pendant is not only of good quality, but the whole piece of jade pendant is also relatively large!

Xu Nanxing fell in love with this butterfly jade pendant at first sight!
