If you count carefully, this tapestry has five layers in total, so it looks particularly thick.

What was in front of the two of them at this time was the middle layer.

Because Xu Youyou's movements were so gentle, this layer of the pattern was perfectly presented.

This floor is divided into two areas.

A region is a territory map.

Another area is a portrait, which is a Qing Dynasty person wearing a court crown.

The edges and gaps of the layer are filled with dragons.

"Camel skin. The person in the portrait is..." Lu Jingyao hesitated for a moment before saying, "It seems to be Emperor Qianlong."

He pulled out his phone and searched for existing portraits of Emperor Qianlong. He placed his phone screen next to the portrait for comparison, and sure enough, it looked like him: "The portrait shows him to be in his forties or fifties."

Xu Youyou compared them carefully and asked, "So, is this map the territory of the Qing Dynasty?"

Lu Jingyao took a look and said, "Zungar was included in the map after General Zhao Hui went out to recover it, which should be after the 22nd year of Qianlong's reign."

Xu Youyou didn't care much about the date of the painting. She was more concerned about another question and asked, "Is this thing valuable?"

Lu Jingyao nodded: "There should be many people willing to buy it back. The estimated price is nine figures."

Xu Youyou was delighted.

Lu Jingyao added, "But if you really want to sell it, I suggest you send it to the capital."

Xu Youyou nodded. He understood what Lu Jingyao meant. Many old people from the previous dynasty were still in the capital, and they would definitely be willing to pay a high price for Emperor Qianlong's old belongings.

When she thought about how this tapestry should have been hung on the wall, but was placed on the ground and stepped on by the Lu family for so long, and was almost thrown into the trash can, she thought that if Emperor Qianlong knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would die.

Lu Jingyao had already seen the entirety of the blanket, so there was no reason for him to stay any longer. He stood up and said goodbye, adding, "I'm going to the capital soon. I have connections with an auction house there. If you'd like, I can accompany you to the auction house."

Xu Youyou's eyes lit up. She had never been to the capital in her two lifetimes. When it came to this place, she was completely clueless. It would be better to have someone familiar to take her there.

After Lu Jingyao left, Xu Youyou put away the tapestry, rolled it up carefully, and put it in her own big safe. She also asked Sister Zhang to clean the entrance hall.

A good night's sleep.

The system seemed to be lagging behind. Xu Youyou had just woken up in the morning when she received the system reward.

[Congratulations to the host, you have completed the task of picking up leaks and received the reward: Advanced Porcelain Appraisal Skill]

Xu Youyou's face immediately showed joy. She had acquired a new skill and felt that she was now incredibly strong. She was itching to find a place to test her abilities right there and then.

She found it directly in the museum.

There was no need to read the introduction to the porcelain. The commentary given by Xu Youyou on the spot was actually not much different from that of the professional tour guides at the museum.

But the more this happened, the more itchy she felt. After all, she could only look at the porcelain in the museum through the glass and had no way of touching it at all.

"Sister Xu, let's go to the antique street." Xu Youyou said.

Xu Fang's homework during this period was not in vain. She took the initiative to say, "Boss, in addition to the antique street in Shanghai, there is also an antique morning market."

Xu Youyou's eyes lit up and she asked, "Where is it?"

Xu Fang explained: "The antique morning market is not open all day. It opens every Friday, starting at 4 am and ending at noon."

Xu Youyou became interested immediately after hearing her speak so convincingly, but unfortunately it was still two days until Friday, so she could only plunge into the antique street.

The antique street still had those familiar faces. Xu Youyou even saw the stall owner who sold her the fake Doucai cup last time.

The triangular-eyed stall owner still remembered Xu Youyou and greeted her warmly: "Beautiful lady, you're here again. I have a new batch of good goods on my stall. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Xu Youyou really gave him face and looked at it carefully.

Her eyes were mainly focused on the porcelain on the stalls.

"This big vase is from the Qianlong era. Look at the aesthetics, the bright red and green, you can tell at a glance that he liked it. And look at the seal underneath. Beauty, I'll sell it to you at a discount, one price, five hundred thousand." Triangle Eyes was selling.

Xu Youyou smiled and said, "Why don't you sprinkle some ash on the vase? It looks so new, it doesn't look like it's from the Qianlong era, it looks more like it's from last week."

Triangle Eyes smiled awkwardly: "What's the matter with last week or not? If you don't like it, just look at something else."

Xu Youyou casually picked up the celadon-glazed bowl beside her.

"Beauty, this is a Ru kiln celadon glaze bowl..." Triangle Eyes was about to explain.

Xu Youyou said directly, "There are only two Ru kiln celadon bowls in existence, one in the Palace Museum and the other in the David Foundation in London, England. Is this just the one from the UK?"

Triangle Eyes laughed dryly and said, "Beautiful lady, you know everything. It's a bit of a bully to come here."

Xu Youyou smiled without saying anything, still looking at them one by one. Whether they were true or false, she could tell at a glance.

"You've been looking for so long, buy anything you want and I'll give you the cost price." said Triangle Eyes.

Xu Youyou didn't believe a word of the cost price these merchants mentioned, but she didn't care about the small amount of money either. She said, "Okay, I'll buy anything I like."

As she spoke, Xu Youyou's hand suddenly paused, but she quickly covered it up and said casually, "How much is this plate?"

What Xu Youyou liked was a blue and white porcelain plate. When she turned it over, she could see six blue characters on the bottom of the plate: "Made in the Guangxu Period of the Qing Dynasty."

"This is a product of the Guangxu official kiln, and the price is 20,000." said the boss.

When Xu Youyou heard this, she almost doubted that he was an expert, but she still said tentatively: "It's so new, what do you think?"

There were no crack lines or signs of repair on the plate, and it looked as new as the brand new Qianlong vase in front.

The boss said, "Beauty, I spent a lot of money on this big plate, so it's not cheap."

Xu Youyou: "Three hundred yuan."

The boss immediately said: "Deal!"

Xu Youyou: ...

Xu Youyou thought that the vendor was a liar and that she had set the price too high.

The stall owner packed up the things with a smile, and Xu Youyou got up to leave. She waited for a while, but the system did not respond at all.

"I got a bargain." Xu Youyou reminded.

The system said helplessly: [The value is too low.]

Xu Youyou insisted: "But this is indeed a product of the Guangxu official kiln. If I don't buy it, it will be regarded as a modern imitation, right?"

The quality of official kiln porcelain products is closely related to the national strength at that time. The official kiln products of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties could be sold at a high price, but by the Guangxu period, it was already the late Qing Dynasty, and the prices of porcelain products from the official kilns were relatively transparent.

The blue and white plate bought by Xu Youyou has a public price of about 3 to 5 yuan.

The system was silent for a long time before reluctantly popping up a prompt.

[Congratulations to the host for independently completing a find without system assistance. Reward: RMB 300.]
