In his previous life, his little daughter liked jadeite, so Chu Hao bought it for her frequently, and he knew more about it.

Looking at the dozens of jade carvings placed in the sandalwood box, they are all of extremely high quality.

The jadeite used includes ice type, glass type, and imperial green, all of which are extremely delicately carved, including hairpins, bracelets, Guanyin statues, Buddha statues, flower and bird decorations, etc.

Just looking at the carving technique, you can tell that it was made by a skilled craftsman.

You can almost find corresponding exquisite carvings in it, including line carvings, thin carvings, round carvings, relief carvings, hollow carvings, etc.

Compared with the jadeite that Chu Hao bought for hundreds of thousands in his previous life, whether it was the natural color of the jadeite or the level of carving, it was obviously not on the same level.

Chu Hao glanced at the heavily powdered jadeite in the sandalwood box, and joked to Old Man Zhu with a smile:

"I said, uncle, you didn't even let go of someone else's ancestral dowry. You took care of it all. This family is really willing to give it up. The jadeite here doesn't look like ordinary stuff. No matter how anxious you are to go abroad, you can't do it.

If you don’t want to sell something close to you, how much did you pay for it?”

Old man Zhu was leaning on a cane, and the old lady was supporting him and holding out five fingers with a smile.

"Five thousand?" Chu Hao asked with a "huh" sound.

If this price is paid, there is no need to wait for decades. Now in Hong Kong, with such good quality and workmanship, each piece starts at least hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, which is obviously a big profit.

The so-called antiques from prosperous times and gold from troubled times actually include jade and jade. Except for a few special eras, these things can be circulated as hard currency.

Old Man Zhu curled his lips and hummed:

"Five thousand? Forget it, don't guess. If you pick up all the leaks like you do, you will still make a lot of money. You can go out and drink the northwest wind..."

"If you're not the uncle, please stop talking in circles with me about how much money you spent!"

This old man Zhu is good at everything, but he always likes to talk in roundabout ways. He is a true imperial city man.

A native of the capital always likes to have foreshadowing in his words, just like a storyteller. If you don't answer his questions, he will think you are uncooperative.

A hint of cunning pride flashed in Old Man Zhu's eyes, and he smiled:

"I'm telling you a trick. What does it mean to watch someone put the dishes on the table? There are many ways to pick out the dishes. They can be roughly divided into single picks and full picks. Single picks mean that you pick out the things you like at other people's stalls and pick them up with one hand.

Pay the money and deliver the goods, the price is based on the price of the single piece..."

"This is to pick it all up, which means to pack up all the things on someone's street stall, or all the things in someone's house. The two parties negotiate a package price and take them all away. If you mark the price one by one as you said, what will it add up to?

, Those who pick it all up will suffer a loss. Moreover, most of those who are willing to pack up and sell all their belongings in one go are in a hurry to use money. To put it bluntly, this business of picking up leaks is just taking advantage of the situation, and taking advantage of you to be sick, I came here to die.

Bargaining, in normal times, if you go to someone's house to bargain and buy all their belongings, you will see if they will slap you..."

Chu Hao understood and silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that Old Man Zhu could clearly explain this with just one word, so he had to drag him out to show off.

Obviously when I was searching for antiques before, I wouldn't have mentioned so much at all, unless I really missed something big this time...

He was thoughtful and asked tentatively:

"Old man, how much are these things of yours worth? I see that you are as happy as if you were celebrating the New Year, but you are much more excited than when you were collecting antiques..."

"It's vulgar, it's so vulgar, it's so vulgar!"

Old man Zhu rolled his eyes at Chu Hao, sat on the chair with the help of the old lady, and said disdainfully:

"You kid is obsessed with money. The value of these antiques cannot be measured by money. Look at every antique here. It carries the historical accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years and has witnessed the rise and fall of many dynasties.

Touch it and experience it with your heart, as if you can still have a conversation with the ancients. What kind of spiritual enjoyment is this..."

"No, didn't you say that you picked up a big leak? If the things in it were like cabbage, you wouldn't be so concerned about it. What's the historical value?"

Chu Hao's words suddenly choked Old Man Zhu. The old man waved his hands in disgust:

"Rotten wood cannot be carved, summer insects cannot speak of ice. You are hopeless. Forget it, let me tell you this. The things I picked up this time are more than the piles I picked up in front of me combined."

The value must be several grades higher. It’s not that the ones I picked up earlier are not valuable, but the quality of this batch is too high. Many of them came from the palace. Before they were released, they were owned by many emperors.

I don’t know if the things I’ve tried with my own hands are of imperial quality, but if I just take one out and put it in the Palace Museum, it’s all at the museum level. Those old experts will probably be jealous..."

"Then how come these things were left behind? Logically speaking, shouldn't they all be handed over and given a small banner to show encouragement?"

Chu Hao was eager to know. He was really curious about the other person's background and how he could hide so many good treasures secretly.

Old man Zhu curled his lips, took the tea handed over by his wife, took a sip and said slowly:

"It's so rare! What's so strange about this? When the Qing Dynasty was about to fall, many treasures in the palace were scattered outside. Some were sold abroad, some were given to others as trade, and some were stolen by people from the island country. Next door

You know what happened to Gou Beile and the Zhao family. Gou relied on human power to take away my family's property, but compared to the ancestors of this family, it's nothing..."

"The process is rather complicated and tortuous. To put it simply, the ancestor of that family was once a direct henchman of a certain warlord who went north to become king. In order to raise military expenses, he levied exorbitant amounts of money and plundered a lot of wealth. Among them, he secretly hid a lot of antiques.

Wenwan, calligraphy and painting were left to future generations. Realizing that there would be chaos in the future, he ordered future generations to change their ways and hid this huge fortune very early..."

"His descendants were very smart and knew that sooner or later the news would leak out. They hid things so tightly that no one knew where they were. Even after digging three feet into the ground and breaking down doors and walls, there was still no one.

I rummaged through the antiques and endured it. It was not until the reform and opening up in the past few years that immigrants were allowed to immigrate abroad that I secretly contacted people to make a move..."

"Don't spread this around. Not many people know about it, and the uncle of that family is an acquaintance of mine. If it spreads and prevents others from leaving the country, it would be a sin. Think about it, this family will be pitiful.

After so many years of suffering, cautious and cautious, I finally got the hope of regaining my freedom. Earlier, several groups of people came to inquire, including people from the island country.
