Chapter 11 Modern Treasures
Sui He, who had no choice but to try her luck at the pawn shop, suddenly heard a voice from behind. She turned around and saw a young man in a moon-colored gown standing not far behind her.
The man had fair skin, delicate features, and a gentle smile on his fair face. He was standing on the street, looking at him curiously.
Since the young man asked this, he must have heard the conversation between Sui He and the shop assistant just now and was curious.
"I have a treasure, I wonder if you are interested?" Sui He didn't want to talk nonsense, took off the basket on his shoulder, and seemed to be taking something out of the basket, but in fact he took something out from the dressing table in the bedroom in the space.
"This is..." Qi Xiuyuan took a look, and the next second his eyes suddenly widened, with a look of surprise on his face. "My name is Qi Xiuyuan, may I have a word with you?"
"Okay," Sui He said, and followed Qi Xiuyuan to the side of the road where there were few people.
Sui He also knew how shocking the things she had taken out were in this era. It was impossible to make them with the ancient and modern technology. Scarcity makes things valuable, so she wanted to try her luck at the Qizhen Pavilion, but she was kicked out before she even took them out.
Suihe took out a common snow globe in modern times. A huge glass ball was placed on a wooden base. Inside the ball was a forest deer grazing leisurely on the grass.
This was given to Suihe by her friend who brought it back from abroad. Suihe has been placing it on the dressing table in her bedroom. It is just a decoration in modern times, but it is a rare treasure here.
"Little brother, can you lend it to me to take a closer look?" Qi Xiuyuan, who was standing by, couldn't wait to ask, wanting to take a closer look at what he had just seen.
"Sure, here you go." Sui He casually handed over the thing in his hand.
"Thank you, little brother." Qi Xiuyuan took the snowball from Sui He's hand and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. What on earth is this? It doesn't look like a night-shining pearl. Even the most transparent jade pieces are not so transparent. And the grass and the little deer inside the ball are just like the real thing. If there were no such small deer in the world, Qi Xiuyuan would have doubted that it was real.
"I have been traveling for many years, but I have never seen such a strange thing." Qi Xiuyuan, who did not understand it, put down the snow globe in his hand and sighed.
"There's something even more magical." Sui He smiled and took it.
"Oh? Can you let me see it for myself?" Qi Xiuyuan became more interested when he heard that there were even more amazing things.
"This is called a snowball. As the name suggests, it has snowflakes in it." Sui He picked up the snowball and shook it. In an instant, snowflakes fluttered and covered the entire sphere, and the ball changed into another form.
Qi Xiuyuan could no longer conceal his excitement. He picked up the snowball and shook it up and down like Sui He, watching the snowflakes fluttering in the ball.
"Is this... snow?" Qi Xiuyuan muttered to himself, his thoughts drifting to who knows where
"It's snow but it's not snow. It's not real snow. It's just a material made to look like snow. Although it looks like snow, it won't disappear in a flash like snow." Sui He looked at him in a trance and explained to him.
"It's snow, not snow." Qi Xiuyuan suddenly came back to his senses, bowed to Sui He, stood up and said, "I really like it very much. I wonder if you can give it up and sell it to me."
"To be honest, the drought has lasted for years and my family has run out of food. We also have elderly people at home. We really have no choice but to sell the heirlooms to exchange for some food so that we can get through this disaster year safely." Sui He made a helpless face.
"That's what I was thinking of when I went to Qizhen Pavilion just now. What a pity!" After saying that, Sui He sighed.
"In that case, why not sell it to me? I'm willing to pay one hundred taels of silver." Qi Xiuyuan began to search his sleeves and soon took out a purse.
"How much more?" Sui He was also shocked when he heard one hundred taels. According to the current purchasing power, one tael is equal to one thousand copper coins, which is one thousand yuan today. One hundred taels is tens of millions, which means one hundred thousand yuan, right?
She knew that this thing was worth some money in ancient times, but she didn't expect it to be so valuable. She only spent more than 200 yuan to buy the snow globe at that time. Now in ancient times, it has increased by dozens of times. She has made a lot of money.
"Little brother, do you think it's inappropriate? I just went out in a hurry and didn't bring much silver with me. I only have one hundred taels on me. If you think it's not enough, I can immediately ask someone to go back and get it..." Seeing that Sui He didn't react, thinking that he thought the price was too low, Qi Xiuyuan spoke immediately, and didn't speak in a literary way.
"Enough, enough, deal, this thing is yours" Sui He came to his senses and before Qi Xiuyuan could finish, Sui He immediately agreed and stuffed the snowball in his hand into Qi Xiuyuan's hand.
Qi Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then he handed over the purse in his hand and said, "There is exactly one hundred taels in this purse. Please accept it, little brother."
"Okay, thank you, sir. You are such a kind person," Sui He took the purse and opened it for a look. His eyes lit up. In the purse there was a fifty-liang silver note, two large and one small silver ingots, and some small change.
When he was still worrying about what to put the silver in, Qi Xiuyuan seemed to know his difficulty and said at the right time: "I'll give this purse to you, little brother. It's not worth a few copper coins anyway."
"Thank you very much. It's getting late and my grandparents are waiting for me. I won't stay any longer and will leave now. See you later."
"There will be a period later"
She tied up her money bag and threw her purse into the backpack, which was actually a space. Then she put the backpack on her back, said goodbye and prepared to leave. Are you kidding? What should I do if I don't leave? That's a hundred taels. These days, many people who wear protective gear can't save three or four taels of silver in a year. Now she has a hundred taels.
Qi Xiuyuan watched Suihe walk away, his hands tightly clenched into a fist-sized snowball under his wide sleeves.
"Young Master" A man dressed as a guard slowly walked by. This man had just been standing not far away, watching the movement here.
His young master was walking peacefully, but suddenly stopped and stared at the entrance of Qizhen Pavilion. He saw the farm boy being chased out. He was called a farm boy, but his gray clothes made him look like the refugees that can be seen everywhere outside the city.
He didn't know what caught the young master's eye, but he walked up to her eagerly and started a conversation, speaking politely. His young master told him to wait there, so he could only wait there.
Without his master's order, he didn't dare to go forward. After seeing the farm boy walking away, he dared to go forward and walk to his master's side.
"Well, let's go back. It's time to prepare to return to Beijing," Qi Xiuyuan ordered.
"Yes"
Qi Xiuyuan didn't know why he suddenly became interested in the treasure of a farm boy. Maybe it was because she didn't look as numb as others, or maybe it was because of her temperament that didn't match her body. He always felt that she would bring him a surprise. Sure enough, she made the right bet.
His grandmother's birthday is coming soon, and he knows what to give her. This gift will definitely make her very happy.
If Sui He knew, she would definitely tell her that it was self-confidence, the self-confidence nurtured by Dragon Mother.
