Rising from the age of thirty

Chapter 139 Don't Blackmail Me
"It's over. I broke the Tang Sancai."

He Mei's eyes were dull. After all, it was an auction item.

"It's no big deal, so just break it."

Lu Le didn't care. After returning home anyway, he was going to break the Tang Sancai and take out the Taiyin jade inlaid at the bottom of the bottle. It was just right that it was broken now.

So, in full view of everyone, Lu Le squatted down, flipped through the fragments, and immediately showed a hint of surprise: "What is this? It's quite strange."

He Mei was still blaming herself, but when she heard Lu Le's words, she looked down curiously. She also discovered that one of the fragments was different.

"what is this?"

Lu Le picked up the fragments, pushed away the excess, and then a piece of jade appeared in everyone's sight.

"Yeah, it's pretty nice."

Lu Le was telling the truth. Although he had known that there was Taiyin Jade inside, he still felt different when he saw it now, and his expression was slightly excited.

"What's going on? Is there something hidden inside this Tang Sancai? Didn't the staff check it?"

"It looks like that."

"What's the texture of this jade?"

"You can tell it's quite old!"

When everyone saw the Taiyin Jade appear, they all started talking about it.

The auction staff were also confused and had strange expressions.

They checked.

It is impossible for Tang Sancai to contain anything.

Jin Shichang's eyes fell on the fragments on the ground and he could see something. The jade was inlaid inside and integrated with the Tang Sancai. It could not be seen with the naked eye. It must have been inlaid by the ancients in some way when they made it.

"Incredible! It's at least a Tang Dynasty jade, and it may even be older!"

Jin Shichang said.

This shatters, and there are surprises.

Jin Shichang's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say to these two people.

Everyone's expressions were stunned.

Damn, is this considered a bargain?

When it comes to jade from the Tang Dynasty, its texture also counts, but one thing is for sure: it must be very valuable.

He Mei scratched her head and said, "No way, is this possible? Let someone take a look at this jade and see if it is worth millions? At least make up for the loss!"

There was an old man in the crowd wearing reading glasses and holding a pair of magnifying glasses. He came over with a trembling body and said, "Let me take a look."

He was so excited for a reason.

This jade is so similar.

If it is this, it would be worth more than just a few million, it would be worth tens of millions.

"It's Mr. Xu."

"An authority on archaeology."

"I didn't expect you to be so low-key. You came without saying a word."

Everyone made way for him, and then Lu Le handed over the jade in his hand.

Jade has an icy feel.

Old Xu took the Taiyin Jade, touched it, and carefully examined it with a magnifying glass. The more he looked at it, the more excited he became, and his face turned red. "Yes, it is this."

"Hahaha."

Professor Xu laughed happily.

Everyone was curious about what could make a professor of archaeology so excited.

Jin Shichang couldn't help but be curious: "Hey, old man, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us quickly where this jade came from."

Professor Xu nodded: "This piece of ancient jade is not from the Tang Dynasty, but from the Warring States Period. It is not only very old, but also a piece of noble glutinous jade, which was used as a burial object for princes. As we all know, the burial jade in the Warring States Period was generally made of field jade, agate, and Xiuyan jade, but this one is different, which shows the identity of the tomb owner."

"In archaeology, we generally don't record this kind of jade, but it is mentioned a little in the novel, that is, Taiyin Jade, which has a wide range of uses."

After hearing this, everyone's mouths opened wide. They really didn't expect that this piece of jade had such a great origin.

"Professor, where in the body is the Taiyin Jade usually placed?"

Someone asked.

This is also everyone’s question. Many of the burial objects in the Warring States Period were just butt plugs. How much could butt plugs be worth? Many people feel disgusted.

"The Jade Cicada is placed in the mouth. The ancients believed that the cicada shed its body from the dirt and floated above the dust. The Taiyin Jade is placed on the forehead. They believed that this would allow the soul of the deceased to be immortal and continuously absorb the energy of heaven and earth for baptism."

Lu Le nodded: "Professor, how valuable is the Taiyin Jade from the Warring States Period?"

Professor Xu responded angrily: "You kid, people treat it as a treasure, that is research, it has very significant archaeological value, it cannot be measured by money."

Lu Le was speechless.

He is not a collector and does not like burial objects, so what does he want to do with this Taiyin jade? Of course, he wants to sell it for money. The system says it is worth more than 30 million.

"I want this piece of Taiyin Jade. I wonder if this gentleman can part with it?"

A fat man in his 40s in the crowd said, "My name is Wang Tiangang, my father loves collecting. This piece of jade is of the glutinous variety, I think it's good! Moreover, it has been hidden in the Tang Sancai for so many years. My father likes the Taiyin jade that can be hidden in the Tang Sancai worth millions more."

Lu Le said: "If you give me the price, there is no reason not to sell it..."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Professor Xu, who was extremely angry.

Everyone thought that Tang Sancai was already worth millions, so this piece of jade must be more valuable than Tang Sancai, otherwise it would be unfair to Tang Sancai.

Professor Xu said helplessly: "Boy, this piece of Taiyin Jade is worth 40 million. Anyone's estimate is about the same. Of course, if it is auctioned, the price will be a little higher."

Everyone was in an uproar.

This price was much higher than they had expected, 40 million.

This kid is so lucky, he just bought a rotten vase and it broke accidentally, but he still got a bargain!
He Mei looked at Lui Le in shock: "Brother Le, you've made a fortune again. My God, it feels like a dream. This fall has made tens of millions."

When Wang Tiangang heard the price of 40 million, his emotions did not change at all, as if he had heard only 4,000 yuan.

"Boy, I don't have that much money, but can you sell it to us for 20 million? Don't worry, we will put it in the museum after we study the history, and we will remember your kindness!"

Everyone was speechless for a while.

Jin Shichang laughed: "Old man, don't make trouble. It's useless to talk about feelings if you don't have money."

"That's right, that's right, please stop using moral blackmail!" He Mei said speechlessly.

"Professor Xu, your price is too low. You'd better stand aside for now. I can accept 40 million. Can you offer it, sir?" Wang Tiangang was unsure. What if Lu Le chose to auction it? A piece of jade from Tang Sancai would be more attractive.

Professor Xu blushed, but was unable to refute. After all, he didn't have that much money!
Lu Le nodded: "Boss Wang is very generous, let's just accept this price. I don't want to auction it anymore."

Wang Tiangang laughed: "Hahaha, little brother, I'll make friends with you."

He almost thought that Lui Lok would not choose him. His first choice was to sell it to Professor Xu. Although Professor Xu's price was low, it could contribute to the research of history. His second choice was to auction it, and only then would he consider buying it for himself.
