Chapter 3 Selling Jewelry
The school dormitory cannot be used for a long time, so Cong Lu plans to go back to the orphanage first to see Mother Qin and her friends who grew up together.

Before going back, Cong Lu took out a set of jade jewelry in the space, planning to find a shop to sell them in the antique market, so that she could give the money to Mother Qin when she went back.

Taking the bus, Cong Lu came to the largest commercial street in the city where he was located. There were two or three antique shops with a good reputation here, and he would not be afraid of not being able to sell at a good price if he went in.

Standing at the door of Boguzhai, Cong Lu took a deep breath and walked in.A well-mannered clerk came over and asked politely, "Madam, what do you need?" She was not at all contemptuous because of Cong Lu's ordinary attire.Cong Lu nodded, "I want to sell a set of jewelry in your store. I wonder if you are interested?" "Of course, can I have a look first?" the clerk Li Wei said with a smile.

Cong Lu lowered her head and took out a 35 cm square wooden box from her backpack (actually in the space), and handed it over.

Li Wei's eyes lit up all of a sudden, based on his seven or eight years of experience in the antique street, he could see the extraordinaryness of the wooden box at a glance.The material of the wooden box is not to mention the rare red sandalwood, the intricate patterns carved on it seem to have a certain rhythm, even the wooden box on the outside is so exquisite, how can the jewelry inside be so bad.I have to say that Li Wei is still very discerning.The jewels in Obscure Moon House are all collected by Long Ji during her travels in the mortal world, and of course they are not high-end goods.

"Ma'am, I need someone to appraise the value of the things you took out." "Okay." Cong Lu expressed his understanding.

After greeting the colleagues next to him, Li Wei said to Cong Lu, "My surname is Li, please follow me." After speaking, he stepped forward.

Standing still in front of the innermost door in the corridor on the second floor, I knocked, and an old voice came from inside, "Come in." When Cong Lu followed Li Wei in, he saw an old man with gray hair preparing to come in. He got up on the wicker chair, thinking he was resting just now. "Xiao Li, what's so good about this?"

"Old Xia, it's really a good thing this time." Li Wei replied while motioning Cong Lu to hand over the wooden box to the old man.

Glancing at Cong Lu next to him, he saw the wooden box in her hand. The old man's tired eyes flashed a bright light just now. He has been immersed in this business for a lifetime. Of course, Mr. Xia also saw the box that Cong Lu took out. Things are definitely not ordinary.

Turning around, he put on his reading glasses, took out a flashlight and a magnifying glass from the drawer, and Xia Laocai reached out to take the wooden box from Cong Lu.

As soon as he bought it, Mr. Xia knew that this wooden box alone was worth a lot of money. It was carved with top-grade red sandalwood, with fine and dense texture, like satin and jade. Rhythm that one desperately wants to be close to.Unable to wait to open the wooden box, the whole person took a deep breath. The set of jewelry in front of him should be Laokeng glass kind of floating jadeite. Picking up one of the bracelets, it was smooth and delicate in the hand, with a falling feel.Gently tap it to produce a crisp, agile and melodious rhythm.With a flashlight, I can't see a single crack.It has the purity and cleanliness of the old pit glass, adding a bit of softness and beauty.It's hard to put it down.

After looking at the necklace, ring and jade pendant one by one, Mr. Xia couldn't hide his excitement, and said to Cong Lu, "Can you tell me how you got this set of jewelry?"

"This is my mother's relic." Cong Lu lied without any burden.

"Oh, sorry."

"After my appraisal just now, I can be sure that your set of jewelry is top-grade old pit glass jade with floating flowers. The jade is clean and transparent, with superb carving technology and a long history. It is a rare top-quality product, and the value of bracelets of the same quality on the market Between 200 million and 250 million, this set of yours is still an antique, and the value is even higher. In addition, the wooden box you put in the jewelry is also a rare top-quality product. My estimate is 4500 million."

After a pause, Xia Lao said again: "Of course, if you take it to the auction house, it must be worth more than this."

Li Wei who was beside him was already speechless in shock.

Sensing Mr. Xia's sincerity, Cong Lu said without the slightest hesitation: "No need, let's trade at the price you always said. But I want 200 million in cash."

Mr. Xia made a phone call, and soon the accountant knocked on the door with a suitcase of cash and a check.

After receiving the money and the check, Cong Lu didn't stay any longer, and quickly came out of Boguzhai, looking for a secluded place, Cong Lu put the suitcase and the check into the Obscure Moon House.

After Cong Lu went out, Xia Lao and Li Wei in Boguzhai couldn't calm down for a long time, because they received the top-quality jewelry and also because of Cong Lu's neat transaction.

Back in the dormitory, Cong Lu looked at the small nest where she had lived for four years, and began to pack her things.Packing all her belongings and putting them in the Obscure Moon Xiaozhu, and still carrying the backpack she used to conceal her, Cong Lu walked out without hesitating.

Cong Lu didn't plan to buy a house because she was a widow, and Cong Lu planned to walk around by herself after handing over the money to Qin's mother to broaden her horizons. It would be a waste to put the house there.

Thinking about it, the remaining 4300 million is enough for the orphanage to operate normally for 4 or 5 years!Cong Lu had never felt so relaxed at this moment, and it was finally something on his mind.From now on, Cong Lu will start to truly live for herself.From childhood to adulthood, Cong Lu struggled all the time. As long as she could remember, she was a wanderer alone, worrying about her next meal all day. When she was eight or nine years old, she was taken back to the orphanage by Qin's mother. The funds in the orphanage were limited. There are many children, but it can only ensure the food and clothing of each child.Fortunately, the country implements compulsory education, otherwise Mother Qin would not be able to pay for the children's tuition.If it wasn't for Cong Lu's hard work and excellent grades, she might not even be able to get into high school!From the day she was admitted to university, Cong Lu was no longer embarrassed to let Qin's mother worry about her university tuition, and she worked non-stop every day to earn her own tuition.After graduating from university, Cong Lu wanted to repay Qin's mother for taking care of her over the past ten years, help her reduce the burden of the orphanage, and must work hard to find a good job.Busy and busy, Cong Lu was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief until today.

As for cultivation and her own mission as Long Ji said, Cong Lu decided to let nature take its course, and Cong Lu never shirked her own responsibilities.And the speed of cultivation doesn't need to be so fast now. Cultivation is basically going against the sky, just do whatever you want.
