Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 199, Nine Dragon Jade Cup

In order to compensate his daughter for her hard work in school, Wang Li decided to take his precious daughter to the ghost market.

Because his daughter is very sensible now, and Wang Li also wants to broaden her horizons. After all, Wang Li and Zheng Lan are now considered big collectors, and they have to let their daughter know how they collected so many treasures.

That night, Wang Li dressed up his daughter, found some old clothes, and gave her a mask he made himself. After a look, no one could recognize his daughter.

Wang Li still put on the clothes he had been wearing for many years and took his daughter to the Bell and Drum Tower Ghost Market.

Along the way, Wang Li introduced the rules of the ghost market to Xiao Huniu. Xiao Huniu listened very carefully. After all, she grew up in a family like the Wang family. She often saw her mother reading ancient books and studying various antiques. Under the influence of her mother, she also became interested in these things.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the alley of the ghost market. Wang Li still followed the previous rules and walked from one end of the ghost market to the other with his daughter. At this time, Wang Li was still carrying a huge travel bag in his hand.

There was no food in the travel bag at this time, because the great famine had passed, and the trading method of the ghost market had returned to what it was before, with transactions still mainly conducted in cash.

It was Xiao Huniu’s first time to come to the ghost market, and it was pitch dark with only a few flashlights flickering around.

She is still a little young and a little scared.

So she held her father's hand tightly and followed him closely, but her eyes looked at the surrounding stalls with great curiosity, because she was curious about everything.

In this way, the father and daughter reached the middle of the ghost market in less than 20 minutes. At this time, Wang Li had already purchased two antiques that he liked.

Xiao Huniu didn't say a word during the whole process, she just watched her father's performance and the transaction process. During this period, the sellers were also very surprised that someone actually brought a child to the ghost market.

At this time, Wang Li and his daughter were standing in front of a stall. Wang Li was studying a cup in his hand. The cup was a little black and no one knew what it was made of. It looked very ordinary.

But Wang Li knew that this thing must be extraordinary, because his blood and magnetic field sensing abilities could sense that this cup was different, and it was obviously a treasure.

After bargaining with the stall owner, he spent fifty cents to put the cup in his travel bag, and left the stall with his daughter.

After that, Wang Li never encountered anything he liked again, and the purpose of this trip to the ghost market was achieved.

First, it opened his daughter's eyes. Second, he bought a few small items, especially the cup, and needed to go back and ask his wife to study it carefully.

Soon, he returned home with his smiling daughter and sent her to Lai Xiaomei's room to sleep.

He went to Zheng Lan's room because it was Zheng Lan's turn to accompany him to rest today.

Zheng Lan didn't sleep very soundly. She knew her husband had returned before Wang Li came in.

But she didn't ask much. After all, her husband often went to the ghost market to buy antiques at night, and Zheng Lan sometimes accompanied him.

The only difference was that this time he brought his daughter with him. But considering Wang Li's strength, she was not worried about their safety. Wang Li put the travel bag beside the bed and took out the cup.

He walked to the bedside and said to his wife: I found a very strange cup today. I used my qi, blood and magnetic field sensing abilities to sense it and found that it is a treasure. Can you help me take a look at it?

Zheng Lan immediately became interested and took the cup of unknown material from her husband's hand, because she knew that her husband had very high standards and that something he called a treasure must be extraordinary.

After observing for a while, Zheng Lan said hesitantly: I really don't see what's so good about this cup. If you are sure, then the surface of this cup must be coated with a layer of other substances, hiding the real treasure inside.

As she spoke, she got up, dressed, went to a corner of the room, and took out a small box.

This is a box that Zheng Lan uses specifically to store various tools and potions for cleaning antiques.

I saw her take out one of the bottles, then went to the bathroom and took out a basin which was half filled with water.

She poured some of the medicine in the bottle into the basin, and then placed the cup in the basin to soak.

Five minutes later, Zheng Lan poured out all the water in the basin and rinsed the cup.

At this time, the cup had completely changed its appearance, from the original gray unknown material to a cup made of white jade.

After seeing the original appearance of the cup, Zheng Lan showed a shocked expression on her face. She carefully took it in her hands and observed it carefully.

Finally, an expression of admiration appeared on her face, and she said to Wang Li: I really admire your luck, you can actually receive such a treasure in the ghost market!

Wang Li asked: What treasure is this?

Zheng Lan said: This is the legendary Nine Dragon Jade Cup.

The Nine Dragon Jade Cup is a rare treasure made of white jade. If the cup is filled with jade wine, nine tumbling dragons can be seen immediately. It was the favorite of Emperor Kangxi. After the death of Emperor Kangxi, the Nine Dragon Jade Cup was buried with the Jingling Mausoleum. In September 1945, a group of bandits robbed the Jingling Mausoleum overnight. Later, the thieves handed over the Nine Dragon Jade Cup, but the Nine Dragon Jade Cup fell into the hands of the people and disappeared as time passed.

I didn't expect you to take it. It can definitely be our heirloom.

The couple admired this magical cup for a while, and then Zheng Lan asked Wang Li to put it into the underground treasure house.

The two of them were also worldly-wise people who already had many antiques in their hands. Although these treasures were rare, their immunity to precious treasures was much stronger than that of ordinary people. Therefore, after the excitement, they could quickly calm down.

Thank you all for your support. I will continue to work hard and welcome your comments and suggestions.
