Chapter 59
This is an antique bracelet from the Tang Dynasty.

Li Mo looked deeply, and there was actually a jade bracelet under the gold and silver covering. The jade bracelet was crystal clear and white, delicate and moist without any blemishes. This is the best mutton fat jade bracelet.

No wonder the bracelet feels precipitated in the hand, there is really a superb bracelet inside.

It's just that no one knows.

In the Tang Dynasty, the main common currency was copper coins, and gold and silver circulated less. It was not possible for ordinary mansions to wrap jade bracelets with gold and silver. Moreover, the top-quality jade bracelets were very valuable at that time. The purpose of this is to what?

"Boss, this bracelet is exquisite in workmanship. It looks like it was left by our ancestors. I like it very much. If you want to buy it, please ask for a price."

"I dug this out from a pile of antiques. I like it too. I have worn it for more than a month. I am about to clean the oxide layer on the surface thoroughly. Maybe it will be more beautiful."

"Boss, you are in business anyway, so try asking a price you are willing to sell."

The boss then looked at Li Mo squarely, and thought this kid was quite interesting, she smiled and said: "You can also see that this is left by the ancestors, if you say that the gold and silver are really worthless now, but the things belonging to the ancestors are worthless." It’s not cheap anymore. Seeing that you really like it, I’ll make an offer, and if you accept it, I’ll transfer it to you.”

"My store is called Friday, and the asking price is 8."

Seeing that he was young, wearing ordinary casual clothes and carrying a bag, the boss thought he was just passing by for fun, so he charged a price that she thought was sky-high.

Little boy, let him know that life is not easy.

Li Mo was indeed taken aback for a moment, he thought the boss would offer an exaggerated price, what about this price?
He picked up the bracelet and played with it again, with a hesitant look on his face.

"Boss, can it be cheaper, I don't have so much money on my card."

The boss blinked and asked back: "How much can you offer, [-] is the lowest price in my mind."

"It's less than [-] yuan, and I want to save a few thousand yuan to play around here in Jinling. But I like this bracelet immediately, so can the boss sell it to me at a cheaper price?"

I was really mistaken, this kid still has money, the boss looked Li Mo up and down and said, "You really like it?"

"definitely."

"My parents bought it before. I'll call them and ask them. As long as I don't lose money, I'll sell it to you."

The boss picked up the phone and went out to turn it around. Li Mo picked up the bracelet and studied the texture of the surface. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that these regular carvings were not simple.

"I asked, if you really like it, I'll earn you 2000 yuan on top of the cost, and you can pay [-] yuan. This price is not negotiable, otherwise I will keep it for myself."

Li Mo didn't agree immediately, but thought for a while before saying: "If it's 500 cheaper, I'll save the fare to go home."

"Okay, I see that you really like it, so I'll give you a receipt, and we'll clear the money and the goods."

"Okay, thank you boss."

The boss is very happy, she has not been this happy for a long time, this month has been a kind of torture for her, and she is mentally and mentally exhausted.As soon as more than 5 yuan arrives in the account, he will immediately be resurrected with full blood.

Before leaving, he also gave Li Mo the wooden jewelry box, saying that it was originally a set.

Li Mo was naturally very grateful.

Watching Li Mo go out, the boss finally couldn't help laughing, as if sweeping away the gloom before.

The old items collected for more than 3000 yuan were sold for more than 5 yuan, which is a big pie that fell from the sky. No wonder my parents have always insisted on running an antique shop, and they seized the opportunity to make a profit that can catch up with the net profit of jewelry in two or three months.

Li Mo also laughed happily when he walked out. This bracelet needs to be studied carefully, and he found that what he likes most is this process of discovery and exploration.

Putting the jewelry wooden box into his backpack, he dug out Professor Yu's phone and called.

"Little Mo."

"Professor Yu, I remember that you mentioned a delicacy and a bowl of soup in Jinling in the last interview. Tonight, you are always honored. I will treat you to the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Soup, which is near the Confucius Temple."

"Haha, Xiaomo, you've got a heart. Okay, I'll be there on time at night, and you can send me the address."

"I'm not very familiar with the other two curators and four experts, so I don't know if it's appropriate to invite them hastily. Professor Yu, please help me make an appointment, just say it's a little favor from me, a junior."

"It's simple. Let's drink tea together. I'll convey your thoughts later. See you tonight."

"Ok."

Li Mo contacted Gu Zhijun again and asked him to reserve a large box for eight people.

Then he wandered around the Confucius Temple for a few hours, mainly to feel the atmosphere and taste some delicious food by the way.

I picked a piece of Jade Buddha in a chain of high-end gold stores. The Jade Buddha is inlaid with gold, and it won't look high-profile when a girl wears it around her neck.

At about 05:30, Li Mo came to the gate of Tang Tianxia, ​​and saw Gu Zhijun whispering something to an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, while his wife stood aside depressed and silent.

"Dad, it's obvious that my mother didn't care about choosing a birthday gift. Last year she gave me a head flower, and this year it's still a head flower. It's just a different shape."

"Mom and Dad have a distinguished guest today, so I will definitely buy you a beautiful gift tomorrow, okay?"

"It will deceive people."

"Jiajia, who said your parents lied to you, they just want to give you a surprise."

Li Mo walked over and greeted with a smile.

"Are you Little Brother Mo?"

"Uncle Xiaomo." Gu Zhijun patted her on the head.

"No, I'm going to call Brother Xiao Mo." The little girl became stubborn and no one could do anything about it.

"Second Brother Gu, we each go our own way." Li Mo didn't care about titles, and besides, he wasn't too old, making his uncle look old-fashioned.He took out a jewelry box from his backpack and handed it to Jiajia, "Happy birthday to the little beauty in advance."

Gu Jiajia took it, opened it, and immediately smiled: "Thank you, Brother Mo, I really like the gift you bought for me."

Gu Zhijun stretched out his head to take a look, and was about to grab it immediately.

"What brother Mo gave me is mine." Gu Jiajia ran away with the jewelry box in her arms.

"Xiao Mo, this birthday present is too expensive."

Gu Zhijun rubbed his hands a little embarrassed. The gold inlaid jade that Li Mo bought cost ten or twenty thousand.

"Second brother Gu, you treat me like an outsider by being polite to me. I didn't pay for lunch and just walked away with my ass."

"Okay, brother, just wait, the second brother will prepare a big table of delicious food for you tonight."

Li Mo didn't wait long at the door when he saw Professor Yu and his group walking over on foot, chatting and laughing all the way.

"Professor Yu, Director Fu, Director Shi, hello to all the experts."

"I heard from Professor Yu that you are not only good at identifying antiques and curios, but you are also very good at gourmet food. Let's come here together to benefit from your credit."

Curator Shi said jokingly.

"Curator Shi, I dare not say anything else, I will satisfy you when I can eat."

"I know this 'Soup World' restaurant. The soup called Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is really amazing. Except for Xiaogui, everything else is fine."

Curator Fu looked up at the signboard and said, "The characters on the signboard are quite powerful, I'm afraid a famous artist was invited to help."

"Everyone, let's advance to the private room. I still have something to ask everyone later."

"It seems that this meal is not for nothing!"

A group of people laughed and followed Li Mo into the second floor box of the restaurant.

The nimble waiter had already brewed a pot of fragrant tea and poured a cup for everyone one by one.

"Li Mo, you just said something is wrong, what is it?"

Professor Yu really thinks that he is a very caring young man, and he still remembers this sentence mentioned in the interview.

Li Mo took out the jewelry box from his backpack and put it on the round table, opened it and took out the bracelet from it.

"Hey, it's a golden snake, and there really is such a bracelet." Curator Shi was surprised at a glance, "Old Fu, you still remember that there was a similar folklore record in an ancient folk miscellaneous record when we read it one year. We also discussed it."

Curator Fu picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully, and said, "This is an old object, and a layer of oxidized coating has already formed on the surface. This gold wire has a round point at one end and a slightly conical flat at the other end. It looks like a golden snake at first glance." The image of the bracelet is wrapped around the bracelet, and the first is connected."

"The record of the golden snake wrapped around the bracelet is really not a folklore."

The others were amazed by the two curators, so they couldn't help leaning over to see it.
