Chapter 15
"Little girl, since you said that this is not Yuan blue and white, then do you think it is?" Xu Da wanted to find out what level Xu Yunhan was. level maven.

Xu Yunhan thought for a while, and said, "This should be a modern imitation, but it is still a few years old, so it can be considered an antique, hehe...that... Uncle, I am talking nonsense, my level is still very shallow, I made a mistake Don't worry about your juniors. I have the same surname as you, Xu Yunhan. I just heard people around you say that you are a top-notch expert in identifying antiques in the market, so I wanted to chat with you. That's why I called you and asked to see it. This blue and white porcelain vase."

It's not that she's lying. According to what she saw and heard in the market, Xu Da is basically gambling on stones. He is really good at identifying antiques. An experience that every expert has had.Xu Da's family made a fortune by relying on antiques, but it was ruined by gambling stones, and finally ended up selling his possessions to make up for the loss.

Since he was down and down, few people have been kind to him, let alone praised his level of discrimination. Xu Yunhan's words immediately made Xu Da's affection for her double, and said with a smile,
"Nowadays there are very few young people like you who study humbly and work hard. They are all from the Xu family, so I will ask you to call you Xiaohan, uncle."

"This blue-and-white porcelain is indeed not from the Yuan Dynasty, but an imitation from the mid-Qing Dynasty. From the appearance to the materials, the craftsmanship is flawless. I only knew it was a fake after a carbon-14 appraisal."

Speaking of this, Xu Da couldn't help but sighed and caressed the porcelain bottle, saying,

"It's ridiculous that I was so shameless back then that it was no longer fun to identify people. I thought that my level was unmatched, so I turned to pursue other exciting challenges, and finally ended up with a divorced wife."

Xu Da hugged the blue and white porcelain vase and thought about something, his expression was a little sad, Xu Yunhan just waited quietly and didn't disturb.

After a while, Xu Da came back from his own thoughts, looked at Xu Yunhan and smiled kindly, "Son, since you can tell the authenticity of it, this blue and white porcelain vase is given to you by Uncle."

"Don't~ uncle, I can't accept this. Even if this blue and white vase is not Yuan blue and white, it is still from the Qing Dynasty. It is exquisitely crafted and has some value. I can't accept it." Xu Yunhan waved his hands repeatedly in surprise and refused.

Xu Da saw that she refused to accept it for a long time, his face changed, and he said seriously,
"Just now you said that your surname is also Xu, so it means that you are from the Xu family. This is a gift from the elders and cannot be denied. Xiaohan, accept it, uncle has no other intentions. This blue and white porcelain vase is a great lesson for me. I see that you are quite gifted in identification, so I hope you will guard against arrogance and impetuosity in the future, maintain a humble heart, and learn from my painful lesson of Xu Datou, remember."

After hearing Xu Da's words, Xu Yunhan felt complicated. It was like the elders teaching the younger generation. She hadn't heard it for many years. Although Aunt Wang's family also brought warmth to her family, they didn't know much. This is not the case for educating children, so Xu Da's words shocked her heart beyond words.

Xu Yunhan, who has always been very strong outside, choked with sobs and said, "Okay, I will accept it, just as you said, 'a gift from the elders, you can't refuse', I, Xu Yunhan, will be your uncle Xu's junior from now on." Taking the blue and white porcelain vase, Xu Yunhan bowed deeply and respectfully to Xu Da.

"Okay, okay," Xu Da didn't expect Xu Yunhan to be such a person who valued love and righteousness, and couldn't help but praise him a few times, "Xiaohan, this item is not worth much. Since you Call me Uncle, although your Uncle Xu is down and out now, you have been struggling in this industry for many years, if you need anything, just call me, Uncle Xu will try his best to help you."

Xu Da left his phone number and left.

Xu Yunhan hugged the blue and white porcelain vase and watched Uncle Xu leaving. He was only in his 50s but his hair was already gray and mottled, and his clothes were clean but obviously old. It was obvious that Uncle Xu was not doing well, otherwise he would not want to sell what it meant to him. An unusual blue vase.The 1000 yuan that the fat man gave was probably living expenses for Uncle Xu now, but he turned around and gave it to her without taking any money.

Xu Yunhan thought that he must help Uncle Xu and give the money directly. He would definitely not accept it, so he had to find another way.

Thinking all the way, Xu Yunhan walked back to the hotel, took out the business card that Jing Shuo handed her before she simply ate breakfast. other information.

Xu Yunhan pressed the phone and dialed, "Hello, who is this?" A deep and mellow male voice soon rang in his ear.

"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Jing Shuo. I bought the jade pot this morning. My name is Xu Yunhan."

"Well, hello, Ms. Xu, I am Jing Shuo." Jing Shuo just went home and lay down, sleep a little drowsy, and only woke up after listening to the jade pot, and asked quickly,

"Miss Xu called to talk about the jade pot. It's not suitable to talk on the phone. If Miss Xu is free today, let's make an appointment, and then I will trouble you to bring the jade pot and talk face-to-face. You What do you see?"

"Alright." Xu Yunhan knew that the best way to buy antiques is to inspect the items in person, and the first-hand goods and the first-hand money are the most secure.

The two hit it off immediately, and made an appointment to meet at a pawn shop called Hengsheng in the city center at ten o'clock this morning.Originally, Xu Yunhan didn't intend to cash in the jade pot in such a hurry, but now she has some ideas and urgently needs money, so she rested on the bed for a while and took a bath. At around nine o'clock, Xu Yunhan took the cloth bag containing the jade pot and went to the appointment Set off.

At first, Xu Yunhan was a little puzzled, why Jing Shuo chose the pawnshop as the location, but when he arrived, he found that the pawnshop belonged to Jing Shuo's family.

Pawnshops were called pawnshops in ancient times. It is generally believed that pawnshops in China appeared no later than the Southern and Northern Dynasties. But it has already prevailed.In the Han Dynasty, pawning was very common among the people. At that time, Sima Xiangru took the robe he was wearing to Yangchang's house in the market to drink on credit, and then redeemed it when he had money.The pawn shop in the modern sense appeared in the Southern Dynasties.

China's pawn industry uses "bats and rats hanging money" as a symbol, bats and "fu" are homophonic, and money symbolizes profits.

In modern times, since the founding of the Communist Party of China, pawnshops have been regarded as activities that exploit the people, and have been banned because of collusion between officials and businessmen. It took more than 30 years for pawnshops to reappear.
