“Also, there’s a set of Dong Qichang’s calligraphy called Du Ful s Spring Gaze.”Many people didn’t know who Dong Qichang was, so the staff immediately explained to the customers.
“Dong Qichang was born in 1555 AD and lived in 1636. Dong Qichang was a master of calligraphy and painting with extremely high artistic attainments in the Ming Dynasty. He was one of the top ten painters and calligraphers in ancient China.
Even though Du Fu’s Spring Gaze was Dong Qichang’s early work and couldn’t compare to his representative work, Bai Juyi’s Pipa Song, it was still worth between two million and 3.8 million!”
He didn’t give a price for the jade Buddha that had just been opened, but he could tell that the top-grade imperial jade was probably worth more than eight million yuan.
Li Muyao was confused. She only knew that the calligraphy was written by a famous calligrapher called Dong Qichang from the Ming Dynasty. It was an authentic work. Anyway, she didn’t understand. If this shop dared to charge such an expensive price for everyone to guess blindly, they definitely wouldn’t use fake ones to make up the numbers.
“There are still three more. Hurry up and open them. Let’s see what else Sister Yao can get. Could it be painting again? After all, this is Painting Street!”
Cai Mao was the same as Li Muyao. He didn’t understand at all. He only knew that the jade Buddha was the imperial green and was very valuable. Then, he got a calligraphy piece that was also worth two to three million yuan.
It was only when he was paying that he realized that the price of the box was not cheap. What was even more terrifying was that there might really be nothing in the box or something worthless.
Fortunately, the two boxes that Cai Mao randomly picked were small. Even so, Cai Mao still spent 1.2 million yuan.
“Wow! The box that Sister Yao bought had two big items. She was too lucky! Sister, can Sister Yao get anything better?
Sister, didn’t you say that this blind guess antique museum can’t open anything good?”For a moment, Chu Ranran suspected that her sister, who had always loved her the most. had lied to her.
If two items worth more than two million yuan were not considered good items, then what was?
Chu Lili looked at the pretty fairy Li Muyao with a complicated expression and lost her patience.””Anyway, we’ve been with Dad for so many years, and we’ve never been able to earn back the money to buy a box.
As for Li Muyao. He didn’t know if she would be able to get anything good.”
To be honest, Chu Lili was also curious if Li Muyao could get anything good.
Chen Tao, who had been pestered to the point of memorization, continued, “Li Muyao’s luck isn’t bad. She should be able to get some good stuff.”Li Muyao was a girl who had been approved by Grandma Ruan to have great luck, so she shouldn’t be too bad.
She recalled the bottle cap that Huo Jiling took away.
“Right, Brother Tao? I also think that Sister Yao should be able to get better things. I want to be friends with Sister Yao in the future.”Chu Ranran finally let go of the corner of Chen Tao’s clothes and secretly moved to Cai Mao’s side. She wanted to squeeze Cai Mao away, but Cai Mao did not give in. Chu Ranran could only stand beside Cai Mao. After all, Chu Ranran didn’t dare to go near Huo Jiling.
“It’s an inkstone from the Guangxu period!”
“Three-piece jade brush barrel set!”
“Four beauties, golden silk double-sided embroidered small folding screen.”
Three boxes were opened in a row. All of them were equipped with instructions for the items. The prices were three times higher than the original price Huo Jiling paid.
“Congratulations, Miss Li. Do you want to take these five items with you, or do you want to put them in our blind guess object museum for safekeeping? Come back and mention it when you leave?” The waiters in the shop also opened three boxes in a row every time they came across something, and every one of them was a real old item.
Each of the old items was worth a lot of money, and the bill was 5.6 million. The total value of the items opened exceeded 18 million yuan.
Li Muyao didn’t know what to do, so she looked at Huo Jiling who had been standing quietly beside her. “What do you think?”
Huo Jiling saw that Li Muyao thought of him first, so he immediately showed a gentle and sunny smile.”Leave it here for now. When there’s an auction at the social gathering the day after tomorrow, you can auction off everything you don’t like and exchange it for cash. How about that?”
Huo Jiling could tell that Li Muyao really didn’t know anything about these things. Every time she opened a box, when the staff explained, Li Muyao’s confused look was especially cute.
She didn’t understand and didn’t like it. It was just right to exchange it for Li Muyao’s favorite money.
Moreover, if he auctioned it, the price would be higher than the estimated price of this shop. Huo Jiling could continue to interact with Li Muyao, killing two birds with one stone.
“Alright, we’ll do as you say.”Li Muyao indeed felt that these things were simply a waste in the hands of someone who didn’t Imow anything about the industry. It was just right to auction them off and let those who liked them and knew their stuff collect them.
“Then, Mooncake, give me the proof. I’ll go and communicate with the staff.”Huo Jiling felt that today was his lucky day. If he didn’t come here, his phone number might still be on Li Muyao’s blacklist. After taking Li Muyao’s receipt, he left with the staff.
Now that Li Muyao had opened the boxes and obtained so many valuable items, the other customers who had seen the whole process immediately decided on the boxes that they had been hesitating to buy and rushed to the cashier to pay.
Cai Mao and Chu Ran were also very nervous. They called out to the staff, “Hurry up and call a few more waiters over. We’re going to open the boxes too. Cai Mao, mine will definitely be better than yours. “Chu Ranran pulled Cai Mao to the side. She looked at her suitcase and compared it to Cai Mao’s small suitcase. She felt that her suitcase was bigger and could definitely hold more things.
In the end, he was very disappointed. Chu Ranran’s five boxes only opened a set of the Four Treasures of the Study that cost more than a thousand yuan. There was nothing else.
After opening one of Cai Mao’s two boxes, Cai Mao immediately stopped the staff when they were about to open it again.””Waiter, wait a moment. I’ll ask if I can let my sister Yao open this box for me.
Anyway, there are so many staff members here. Can I ask Sister Yao to open it for me?”
1.2 million was spent on a box, and 600 thousand was gone. Cai Mao said with some heartache.
“Sure. Miss, come over here, put on your gloves, and open the door with the key. “The staff was very generous. After all, Cai Mao wasn’t the only one who had made such a request, so he was very familiar with the process. He handed Li Muyao a pair of white disposable gloves.
Li Muyao helplessly looked at Cai Mao’s expectant eyes and smiled as she took it. She followed the instructions of the staff and the lock opened with a click. Opening the lid of the box, there was actually a set of four treasures of the
study made of jade!
