A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.
Chapter 93 Yongzheng Tongbao
The young man looked puzzled: "Who is Wu Rangzhi? Is he famous?"
"Wu Rangzhi was a calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty. He was good at calligraphy and painting, and was also proficient in bronze and stone carving."
The young man said, "Even if he's good at this, it's still just a broken piece of stone. How can it be sold for so much?"
Xu Youyou said: "Some things are so expensive in the eyes of those who know the business."
Xu Youyou was also practicing calligraphy. The reason she hesitated was because she was thinking about whether she should keep the seal for herself to play with.
After all, Zeng Gong's letters were destined to be auctioned, so she had to keep something as a reward for herself.
Although the young man didn't know the ins and outs of seals, he was very filial and said to the old man, "Grandpa, if you really like this seal, I will buy it for you. No matter how much it costs, the most important thing is that you are happy!"
The old man was delighted for a moment, but still shook his head: "Forget it, forget it. I have the opportunity to play with it today, which is enough. I dare not expect too much."
"No, grandpa, if you like it, just take it. Anyway, this thing is real and valuable. You can keep it as a family heirloom in the future. You won't suffer a loss." The young man persuaded.
The old man was really tempted and looked at Xu Youyou with longing eyes.
Xu Youyou said: "Compared to intangible objects like seals, the filial piety of children and grandchildren is the most precious thing in the world."
The old man understood that Xu Youyou was unwilling to sell it, so he smiled helplessly and said, "Young lady, you are right. At this age, filial piety of children and grandchildren is more important than anything else. I have an unwelcome request, and I hope you can agree to it."
Xu Youyou agreed to his request. The old man asked his grandson to find a piece of white paper and made rubbings of the six sides of the seal on the white paper. Then he left with gratitude.
This time, Xu Youyou didn't continue to play with the seal. Instead, she wrapped it up and put it away carefully.
She wanted to leave, but she didn't expect it to be at this moment.
[The loot-picking mission has been refreshed. Please arrive at the target location as soon as possible.]
Xu Youyou was delighted. She didn't expect that she could find two bargains during her visit to the antique morning market: a double yolk egg!
She felt that getting up early this time was totally worth it, and she quickly followed the system's instructions and walked towards the indicated location. She noticed that the target seemed to be moving all the time.
Xu Youyou's heart trembled, fearing that someone would get there first.
She finally saw the clear direction of the system instructions, which fell directly on a child about ten years old.
He was a short-haired kid with a dirty face. He looked extremely disheveled, except for his pair of bright and clear eyes.
At this moment, the child was grabbed by the arm by a ferocious tall man: "You little thief, you come to steal from me again, don't you want to die?"
The child shuddered with fear, his eyes instantly reddened, but he kept saying, "I didn't steal!"
"Boss, what did this kid steal from you?" a customer asked.
The man said viciously, "Every time he hits me while passing by, I'll lose a few copper coins in my stall."
When the guest heard this, he looked at the child with a stern look: "You are so young, why don't you learn something good?"
The child got anxious when he heard that and said, "He owes me! He deserves it!"
"You little bastard, you are slandering me!" The tall man stretched out his hand to slap the child in the face.
The child closed his eyes in fear.
But the expected slap did not fall on him.
He opened his eyes and saw a long, thin, white hand and a slender figure standing in front of him.
The young girl's voice was as crisp as a bell, but it carried an irresistible confidence.
"Why are you so eager to hit someone? Why don't you let the child finish his words? Are you feeling guilty?"
The tall man looked at Xu Youyou who suddenly appeared, and a fire surged in his heart: "Who are you? I'm catching a thief, why are you meddling in my business?"
Xu Youyou didn't think that anyone valued by the system would be a bad kid, so she was particularly confident and righteous: "I speak out for injustice!"
The tall man was so angry that he even wanted to attack Xu Youyou, but Xu Youyou's bodyguards were not to be trifled with.
The boss stepped forward, and several retired soldier bodyguards were also busy, forming a human wall to block Xu Youyou.
The stall owner was timid at the sudden appearance of the four muscular men, but he still shouted: "This unfortunate kid is a thief. Are you blind to protect a thief?"
The spectators were talking among themselves, not knowing who to listen to.
Xu Youyou reached out and gently patted the child's shoulder, scaring the child so much that his neck shrank.
"Don't be afraid, tell everyone everything you know, and I will help you find a solution." Xu Youyou comforted.
"Sister, he was the one who hurt us first!"
The closer she was, the clearer she could hear. Xu Youyou then discovered that this child actually had a good voice and spoke as sweetly as an oriole.
"How did he harm you?" Xu Youyou asked patiently.
The child said, "We found a copper coin in an abandoned parking lot and wanted to sell it to him, but he took the coin and said it was his and we stole it."
As he was talking, the child actually started crying out of grievance: "We really didn't steal it. We really found the copper coins. My little sister's birthday is coming up soon, and I wanted to sell the copper coins to buy her a birthday cake, but he ruined it all!"
Listening to the child's tearful accusation, the onlookers looked at the stall owner with condemnation.
The stall owner's eyes flickered as he said, "I lost a Yongzheng Tongbao coin. This kid is dressed in rags, and he doesn't look like he has a Yongzheng Tongbao coin. He must have stolen it!"
Xu Youyou noticed that the stall owner had a strange expression on his face. She remembered that one of Gu Xueying's followers had the same expression when he wrongly accused her.
The child was very aggrieved and argued loudly: "I didn't steal it, we really found it when we were picking up trash!"
Xu Youyou patted the child soothingly and said, "Don't worry."
Perhaps because of the previous help, the child listens to Xu Youyou very much.
Xu Youyou asked the stall owner: "When did you lose your Tongbao? How did you lose it? Where did you lose it?"
Yongzheng Tongbao, which is the copper coin issued during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, has an ordinary version with a market price between 300 and 1000. Among the Tongbao coins issued by emperors of the Qing Dynasty, it is one of the more valuable ones.
The stall owner said, "It's been missing for five days. It was lost near here. I've also been to the parking lot he mentioned."
Xu Youyou looked down at the man's stall. The stall also sold copper coins, but they were all scattered in an iron box.
"That's strange. You have a box of copper coins, and at a glance there are almost a hundred of them. At a glance, there are several Yongzheng Tongbao coins. This box has a lid, so it's difficult for the copper coins to leak out. How come you only remember losing this one?"
Xu Youyou's questioning made the stall owner look even more guilty. After a moment, he tried to explain, "That Tongbao is different. I originally tied it with a red string and hung it around my neck to keep myself safe."
In many places, there is a custom of hanging a Tongbao (currency) around the neck with a red string to ensure safety.
Xu Youyou stared at him and asked slowly, "What about now? Is the Tongbao that we finally found still hanging around your neck?"
