Chapter 242 Buying Back the Seven Inherited Cauldrons
"Then we might as well register for marriage." Situ Jin struck while the iron was hot.
"Me and Luo Yang getting married? It feels weird."
"I'll change my ID card when I return to Country F. It's archived there. We're already married. This is just a formality. If we have a baby after marriage, and can travel back in time, then my father and mother won't have any regrets."
"If we give birth to a baby and raise him there, the education will be too backward and the living standard will be far behind what it is now. I don't agree with that."
"That depends on what the child thinks in the future. This is not something we can decide."
"It's so embarrassing. Talking about who to have a child with before we even get married?" Charlotte said with a blushing face.
"Lolo, I really want a child. That way, when I'm busy, there will be someone by your side."
"We can only have one here. Over there, we can have as many children as we want. I like to have many children and grandchildren."
The two talked about their children and that era, and fell asleep before they knew it.
"It's not impossible for you to go back to that era again, as long as you have children. You can travel back freely once a month. Three years over there is one year here. The days you've been back are only half an hour over there."
Situ Jin and Xia Luo dreamed of the white-haired old man at the same time.
When they woke up, they turned to look at where the white-haired old man was standing. Where was he?
"It seems that I guessed right. We will register for marriage next month." Situ Jin was as excited as a child and sat up from the bed.
"My parents would be so happy if they saw this." Seeing how happy Situ Jin was, Charlotte couldn't help but think of her parents.
"You may not know for sure if your parents can really see it. Luo Luo, I'm going to the countryside for a while and may be back in three to five days. You should pay attention to your safety."
"Ajin, I know you've been solving cases recently. But you might not be able to stand the environment in the countryside. It's best to get a mosquito net. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the countryside. If they bite you, you'll suffer."
The two of them woke up in the middle of the night, dreamed and chatted for a while before falling asleep again.
When Xia Luo woke up, she found that Situ Jin was not around.
After washing up, she went downstairs to ask Aunt Zhang.
"Is Jin gone again?"
"Mr. Situ left early in the morning. He asked you to have a good breakfast before going back to work. He also told you to be careful when you go out."
"Got it, Aunt Zhang."
After finishing her breakfast, Charlotte sat on the sofa and fiddled with the musket for a while.
Got up and went to the garage to get the car.
She had an antique heirloom in her trunk, but she wondered where it went.
She wanted to go to the antique market to see if it had been lost among the people.
If not, she decided to go to the cliff to look for it. Although the probability was small, at least she could find some clues of her lost items.
She came to the first floor of the antique market.
There are partitions inside.
Maybe they are all old guys that have been forgotten for a long time.
The room seemed particularly dull.
Some scrap copper and iron were also mixed in to make up the numbers.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is a modern product.
Charlotte looked around and found that there was nothing she was looking for.
Just get ready to go to the next one.
There are three entrances to this antique market.
Charlotte came in directly from the underground parking lot.
These families should have more antiques than the ones behind them.
If she was in a hurry to sell antiques, she would definitely sell them at the first few houses.
She went to the second store and found that the types of antiques in this store were different from those in the first store.
They sell bronze and silver items. There are a few porcelain items on the shelves. I don't know what era they are from. They look quite valuable.
She had seen many things in the palace. Much more beautiful than this, ancient porcelain, silver hairpins, countless.
She picked up a hair basket and asked the boss.
"Boss, how much is this hair basket?"
"The price is 5600 yuan, no bargaining. This is a hairpin from the Western Zhou Dynasty. You can ask an antique expert to appraise it. Our store is a government-trusted store. We don't adulterate. If it's a fake, we'll pay ten times the price."
"It's just a hair basket. I'm just asking. So, boss, how much would it cost if you accepted the hair basket?"
"Comrade, do you want to buy? Or do you want to sell?"
"My ancestors left me some antiques. I don't know the price, so I came to ask."
"Then you have to bring the item over. Without proof, how can you tell if it's real? If it's very old, we can discuss the purchase price."
"Boss, when I bring the stuff over someday, you can take a look at it." After saying that, Charlotte prepared to go to the next store.
She went to several stores but couldn't find what she was looking for.
She walked around and prepared to go to the garage to pick up the car.
Suddenly, she inadvertently saw an antique in the cabinet of an antique shop at the corner, which was the "Seven-Tripod Bronze Vessel" that she had placed in her trunk.
This was handed down from my grandfather. It was said to be my great-grandmother's dowry.
Why would she put such valuables in the trunk?
Because after breaking off the relationship with my uncle.
My uncle has always suspected that my grandparents favor my parents.
After my parents left, they kept spying on my villa and savings.
Charlotte was afraid that they would rummage through her while she was not at home.
She put all the valuables in the house in the car.
Follow you at any time.
She even hid her bank cards in her Land Rover.
Therefore, no matter who searches the villa, it is impossible to get anything valuable.
She walked into the antique shop.
"Boss, how much is that bronze artifact for sale?"
"Are you talking about this bronze ware?" The boss opened the cupboard, padded it with a cloth, and took out the bronze ware.
"Yes. How do you sell it?"
"This bronze ware is a symbol of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is a dowry item. It is also called the Seven Tripods. Miss, you have good taste. If you want it, I will give you a real price. Two hundred thousand, no bargaining."
"When did the boss acquire this antique? Is it his own collection?"
"We who are in the antique business collect everything we buy. It's nonsense to say it's an heirloom. This antique was brought in by a woman half a year ago. She said it was left by her ancestors. She said she had something urgent and needed money, so she sold it."
"It's very cheap when the boss collects it, right?"
"This is definitely not more than 200,000. We make a profit from the difference in price."
Charlotte thought that the person who sold the seven tripods must not understand the price of this bronze ware.
Moreover, the boss also treated this antique as an ordinary bronze artifact.
If it were at an auction house, this price would easily cause a huge rush for it.
"I also like to collect antiques. I also like to buy antiques. If your collection is worth 100,000 yuan, I will reluctantly buy it. It's purely a hobby for me. There are too many, so it doesn't matter whether I take it or not."
Half a year ago, the woman was in urgent need of money, so he bought it for only 30,000 yuan.
If it is sold for 100,000, he still makes 70,000. The key is that there are too many shops selling antiques. And fewer and fewer people visit antique shops. It is not easy to meet a buyer.
"One hundred and twenty thousand, no bargaining."
"Just one hundred thousand. If they don't want to sell it, forget it. I'll go to other houses to see if there's anything I like."
"You are such a good bargainer, girl. If you didn't know the value of the goods, I would keep it here in the store. One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand. But if you go shopping for antiques in the future, you must patronize our store."
"Boss, can you give me a pair with the scroll painting in your corner? You have so many of them, they're just sitting there anyway." Charlotte discovered that the painting was the ceiling of the antique world.
"Those paintings were brought by an old man who sells junk. He said he bought them from a wealthy family."
