The taster returned to the reception room with an old man in his sixties.
"Teacher, this old lady brought that item for appraisal." The taster politely pointed to Mrs. Gu.
The old man nodded and walked straight to Mrs. Gu.
The middle-aged man following behind introduced Mrs. Gu: "This is Mr. Ji Xiao, the most famous taster in our antique circle. He is the most powerful expert in the antique industry."
Mrs. Gu glanced at Mr. Ji coldly, and then opened the wooden box.
"Just now your apprentice couldn't figure out what this thing is. Now I want to find out what the value of these fragments is. Come and see."
"Okay, let me take a look."
After Mr. Ji sat down, he picked up a black fragment and observed it carefully for a while.
After inspection, Mr. Ji placed all the fragments in the wooden box in front of him.
There were five pieces in total. He originally thought that several pieces could be pieced together, but after several attempts, he found that there was no direct connection between each piece.
However, two of the fragments are engraved with some strange patterns, which resemble some kind of ancient writing, and it is not yet certain.
"Mrs. Gu, do you know where these fragments came from?"
Mrs. Gu shook her head: "This was left by my short-lived daughter-in-law. I don't know where she got these things. Mr. Ji, are these jade stones?"
"It's not jade. The overall hardness is much harder than jade. However, these fragments have some patterns similar to characters. It's just that the pieces in your hand cannot be pieced together into a whole piece. It should be that part of it is missing, so it's hard to be sure at the moment.
Its usefulness.”
Mrs. Gu looked disappointed: "So you don't know what it is?"
"At present, it can be determined that it is a natural ore, but it is not the jade, jade, agate, etc. that we ordinary people know."
"So this thing is not valuable at all. I originally thought I would sell it if it was worth something."
Mr. Ji's eyes moved slightly, and an idea came to his mind.
"It's not impossible if you want to sell it. Our Qianhe Pawn Shop can also accept these few pieces, but because the fragments are not complete enough, the price may not be too high. Please estimate the price and see how much you are willing to sell it for."
."
Mrs. Gu didn't expect that the pawn shop wanted to collect these broken pieces, and she was secretly happy.
This thing is not jade and jade, so it cannot be valuable at all.
"I think this thing is worth half a million."
Mr. Ji frowned slightly, looking very hesitant.
"To be honest, these fragments should be ordinary ores, and the few text-like patterns on them have some literary value. If it costs 500,000 yuan, our pawn shop will probably lose money."
Mrs. Gu said: "You also said that the words on these fragments have literary value. If it turns out to be some kind of antique, you might be able to earn several times more. Five hundred thousand is not less. If you don't buy it,
I can take it to other pawn shops to estimate the price."
Mr. Ji looked at the fragments again and played with them.
Although these fragments are not jade and jade, they should be of considerable age and still have certain collection and research value.
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Ji nodded in agreement.
"Okay, deal for five hundred thousand."

Leave Qianhe Pawn Shop.
Mrs. Gu seemed to be in high spirits and in a particularly good mood.
"I didn't expect that those few pieces of broken pieces could be sold for half a million, and I don't know what these antique dealers were thinking. I originally thought that if it wasn't jade, I would just throw it away. Huh, what can Ye Hailan leave behind?"
What good stuff?"
Aunt Mei said: "Ye Hailan still has a certain business acumen. I didn't expect that she secretly purchased so many properties during her marriage to her husband. Counting those properties and shops, the combined assets are hundreds of millions, and she also has a fixed rent every year.
Income, if the second young lady inherits this property, she will not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of her life."
Mrs. Gu snorted softly, her withered eyes showing shrewdness.
"Who said these properties should be given to that girl?"
Aunt Mei was slightly startled. Did the old lady mean to swallow up this property?
Thinking of this, she suddenly understood why the old lady asked Mo Xiaoxuan to pretend to be Gu Nanyi. It turned out that the old lady had this intention.
"If sir and the second lady find out, I'm afraid this matter will be more troublesome."
Mrs. Gu didn't take it seriously: "The real estate purchased by Ye Hailan belongs to the joint property of husband and wife. It was wrong for her to buy it behind Tingjun's back at the time. Now that she has been dead for more than ten years, it stands to reason that these properties belong to Tingjun. As for the future purchase,
Don't give Nan a share of the family property, it depends on that girl's own performance. With her current attitude towards her elders, she doesn't deserve anything from our Gu family."
Aunt Mei echoed: "You are right, these properties should belong to your husband, so are you going to tell him about this?"
"I'm going to check out those properties and shops in the past two days. It would be best if they can be sold. Tingjun's company has encountered difficulties recently and needs money urgently. Selling these properties can also help him a little."
"You are still thoughtful. Sir, he will definitely be very grateful to you if he knows that you think about him so much."
When she mentioned her son, the old lady looked proud.
"Tingjun has been filial since he was a child, and he is smart and capable. He came to Pingcheng by himself to start this family business. I have been blessed for half my life, so I have to share some of the pressure for him. Let's go shopping in the nearby shopping mall.
Go shopping, I want to buy some gifts for Xiyan and Xiaoxuan, especially Xiaoxuan’s child. I was able to successfully obtain these properties this time, thanks to Xiaoxuan."
"Yes, Miss Xiaoxuan is very well-behaved and sensible."
The two people had already walked to the car while they were talking.
Aunt Mei opened the car door and helped Mrs. Gu get into the car.
The car drove towards a nearby shopping mall.

Spent a day at the hotel.
Although Gu Nanyi didn't go out, she was not idle.
First, Mr. Gu called to inquire about the situation. When he learned that she had been in a car accident, he insisted on coming over to see her.
Gu Nan finally dissuaded her. Although Mr. Gu couldn't agree, he still wanted Gu Luoli to come over.
at dusk
Gu Luoli came to the hotel to visit.
Seeing that Gu Nanyi was fine, he felt relieved.
"Miss Gu, have you offended anyone recently?"
Gu Nan looked at Gu Luoli and said, "I have only been in southern Xinjiang for three days, and during that time I only had contact with people from your Mangshan Village and Wu Clan Village."
Gu Luoli pondered for a while: "Is the other party going for Mr. Fu?"
Gu Nan didn't say anything. In fact, she had the same suspicion, but she didn't ask Fu Yunchen.
He was called away by Mr. Qi shortly after he came back today, and he has not come back yet, but he will definitely investigate the ins and outs of this matter.
"Go back and tell your grandpa so he doesn't have to worry about me."
