Gao Dongxu smiled and replied: "Actually, this isn't really a gift for you, it's for uncle..."
The old lady's eyes became brighter and brighter, and an expression of surprise and joy appeared on her face. She asked with some emotion, "How do you know he likes to play with walnuts?"
When the old lady said this, Wu Xiaowei, who was sitting quietly beside her, couldn't help but brighten her beautiful eyes and looked at Gao Dongxu with stars in her eyes.
Gao Dongxu smiled and thought to himself, of course I learned about it from the plot.
He looked at the photo hanging on the opposite wall and said with a smile, "The old man in the photo is your father-in-law."
The old lady looked at Gao Dongxu with a bright smile and nodded slightly, "Yes."
Gao Dongxu continued, "The younger one should be your uncle—your father-in-law was famous for his walnut-playing skills, and many people knew about it..."
The smile on the old lady's face became more and more intense, and her eyes looking at Gao Dongxu became more and more kind.
"...I think my uncle must have been influenced by my father to some extent."
Seeing Gao Dongxu's dedication, Mrs. Xu liked him even more.
Wu Xiaowei looked at Gao Dongxu with admiration in her eyes. Her bright big eyes stared at Gao Dongxu's handsome profile without blinking, and gradually she became distracted.
The old lady seemed to open up all of a sudden and told Gao Dongxu some interesting stories about her father-in-law and husband playing with walnuts.
"Old lady, the house you live in is also extraordinary." Gao Dongxu continued to praise with a smile.
The old lady smiled modestly and said, "What's so special about it?"
Gao Dongxu smiled and looked around the house, introducing it. "This house was first built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It was originally the residence of an assistant minister of the Ministry of Works. In the Qing Dynasty, it became the residence of a prince. Six or seven princes lived here... During the Republic of China, a military governor also lived here. Later, this military governor became the president. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it became what it is today..."
After hearing Gao Dongxu's detailed introduction, the old lady praised Gao Dongxu's rich knowledge.
Wu Xiaowei, who was sitting next to him, was even more impressed by Gao Dongxu, and at the same time, she had a sweet smile with a sense of pride on her face.
"You know more about our family than I do." The old lady sighed with a smile.
Gao Dongxu smiled and said, "Some time ago, I wanted to buy a courtyard house, so I looked up all the information about courtyard houses that can be traded in Beijing. That's why I know so much."
"Oh?" The old lady's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this, and she asked with a smile, "Then have you found a suitable yard?"
"Found it, Nanluoguxiang. Although it's a bit dilapidated, reconstruction has begun." Gao Dongxu said with a smile.
"It's rare that you still like to live in a courtyard like this at your age. There are not many young people like you who like traditional culture." Old Mrs. Xu sighed, especially when she thought of her children studying abroad.
"Oh..." The old lady, having regained her composure, smiled and said, "Just because of this gift you gave me, and just because of what you said, I won't let you down by coming here. Wait a moment, I'll go get two things, you take a look first..."
"Okay. Slow down—"
Seeing the old lady stand up, Gao Dongxu and Wu Xiaowei hurriedly followed suit.
"Please sit down, sit down..." The old lady gestured for the two to sit down, and then she opened the door and walked into the inner room.
Gao Dongxu smiled and looked at Wu Xiaowei, who was blinking her bright and beautiful eyes at him. Wu Xiaowei was like a frightened deer, and she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Gao Dongxu.
About five or six minutes later, the old lady came out from the inner room holding two boxes.
Gao Dongxu and Wu Xiaowei hurriedly stood up.
"This is passed down from my family, take a look..."
As she spoke, the old lady placed two boxes on the table.
Gao Dongxu sat down and reached out to open the first brocade box. What caught his eye was a uniquely shaped blue and white high-footed bowl. He carefully picked up the bowl that amazed him from the box.
Get a piece of ice and you will be sure it is authentic.
Wu Xiaowei, who saw such uniquely shaped porcelain for the first time, blinked her big eyes and looked at it curiously.
The Yuan Dynasty blue and white high-footed bowl with cloud dragon pattern is surrounded by spiritual energy and is an absolute national treasure.
Gao Dongxu couldn't let go of the bowl and carefully put it back into the box.
Then Gao Dongxu opened another flat brocade box, which contained a picture album.
After seeing the name on the cover of the album, his eyes became brighter.
Taking out the album and feeling the cool and spiritual energy on it, Gao Dongxu calmly opened it and saw Bada Shanren's flower and bird paintings on it.
After closing the album and placing it in the brocade box, Gao Dongxu looked at the old lady with a smile on her face and bright eyes and said with emotion, "Old lady, these two items are both national treasures..."
Pointing at the album, he introduced: "These twelve album leaves are authentic works of Bada Shanren. They have been passed down in an orderly manner and are extremely precious!"
Pointing to the high-footed bowl, he said, "This is a Yuan Dynasty blue and white high-footed bowl, a rare and authentic one!"
After listening to Gao Dongxu's appraisal, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "I don't understand these things. Can you tell me how much they are worth?"
Gao Dongxu knew that the old lady was not a landlord who was short of money, and he also knew that she was selling the two antiques to do charity, but he still pretended to be ignorant of the inside story and asked the old lady why she wanted to sell the two cultural relics.
This question really touched the old lady's heart. She smiled kindly and told her that she would use the money to build a primary school for the children of migrant workers.
Gao Dongxu and Wu Xiaowei were both moved by the old lady's kindness and truly admired her. Gao Dongxu himself couldn't do that, so he truly admired her. "Just tell me straight, how much are these two things worth?" Old Lady Xu looked at Gao Dongxu again and asked with a smile.
Gao Dongxu pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Old lady, let me be frank. Based on the market price in recent years, I estimate this booklet is worth eight million..."
The old lady looked slightly surprised and said, "Oh, wow, it can be sold for so much money."
Gao Dongxu said calmly: "Of course, if it is sold to takeout, the final transaction price will exceed eight million."
The old lady looked at Gao Dongxu and nodded as if she was thinking about something.
Gao Dongxu pointed at the high-footed bowl and said, "To be honest, I'm a little unsure how to value this high-footed bowl. I haven't seen such a national treasure on the market in recent years. If I had to put a price on it, 20 million—"
When the price of 20 million was mentioned, the old lady didn't react much. But Wu Xiaowei opened her beautiful eyes wide, and her pretty face was full of shock.
Looking at the old lady, Wu Xiaowei was completely stunned. Just two items she casually took out were worth so much money. This old lady hidden in the alley was really not simple. What made Wu Xiaowei even more moved and impressed was that the old woman decided to sell antiques for charity.
Gao Dongxu looked at the old lady and said frankly: "Old lady, twenty-eight million is just my offer. Of course, if you send it to the auction, the price may be higher.
To be honest, if I bought these two antiques and resold them, I would make some money. After all, I'm a businessman and I need to leave some profit margin."
"I understand. I understand." The old lady looked at Gao Dongxu with bright eyes, smiled and nodded.
"Anyway, I don't understand them, and I really didn't expect them to be so valuable. It's far beyond my expectations. Well, I can't let you make a wasted trip. I'll sell these two items to you at the price you asked."
"Thank you very much, old lady. You are giving me a reward by giving me food." Gao Dongxu complimented the old lady happily.
"The main reason is that you are an honest and knowledgeable young man, and I like you." The old lady said with a smile.
"Haha, old lady, these are two transaction contracts. Please take a look and sign if you think you have any problem. Also, give me a bank account number and I will transfer the money to you..."
Gao Dongxu took out two transaction contracts from his trouser pocket, wrote the name and price of the transaction items on them, and handed them to the old lady.
The old lady found her glasses, looked at them carefully, signed her name, then took out a bank card and gave it to Gao Dongxu.
Gao Dongxu took out his cell phone, called his UBS customer service representative, got up and walked out of the house, verified his identity and password in the yard, and completed the transfer.
After transferring out 2800 million, Gao Dongxu had spent all the money he had earned from the auction and had also used up his original savings. Now, he could only wait for Christie's in the United States to auction off the antiques he had found at a bargain price to make his money back.
"Okay, old lady, the money has been transferred. You will receive a text message reminder soon." Gao Dongxu went back to the house and handed the bank card to the old lady with a smile.
"Okay." The old lady took the bank card with a smile, took out her mobile phone, and waited for the text message notification.
About five minutes later, the text message alert and the phone rang together. The old lady looked at the unfamiliar number and was a little confused, but she still picked up the phone.
After answering the call and listening to the person on the other end of the phone, the old lady realized that it was a confirmation call from the bank. After all, it was impossible to transfer such a large sum of money into a private account without alerting the bank.
After hanging up the phone, the old lady smiled and said, "Okay, the money has arrived. Thank you, young man."
"I should be the one thanking you." Gao Dongxu stood up and said with a smile, "If you want any old items in the future, you can call me directly. This is my business card—"
The old lady took the business card, put it away with a smile, and said, "Okay, I will definitely find you."
"Then I won't bother you anymore." Gao Dongxu smiled and gestured to Wu Xiaowei to take the two brocade boxes.
Wu Xiaowei held the two brocade boxes in her arms nervously and carefully, not daring to be careless at all.
"I'll see you off—" The old lady smiled and sent Gao Dongxu and Wu Xiaowei out of the house.
"Please stay - goodbye." Gao Dongxu turned around and said with a smile.
"Goodbye."
As they walked towards the entrance of the alley, Gao Dongxu smiled as he watched the nervous Wu Xiaowei tightly hugging the two brocade boxes in her arms, squeezing her already small conscience to the point that it hurt him just to watch.
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Give it to me. Look how nervous you are."
Wu Xiaowei's pretty face flushed slightly, and she handed the two boxes to Gao Dongxu with a sense of relief. She said softly and embarrassedly, "When I think about holding a national treasure worth 28 million, I get nervous and scared..."
"Haha, you'll get used to it after you take more." Gao Dongxu comforted with a smile.
The two walked out of the alley and got into the car. Gao Dongxu put the two boxes on Wu Xiaowei's legs again.
Wu Xiaowei was a little shy, but she immediately held the two boxes tightly with her hands, worried that they would fall.
Looking at Gao Dongxu driving with a raised mouth, Wu Xiaowei asked curiously, "Boss, have you known this old lady before?"
"I don't know him." Gao Dongxu said with a smile.
"Then you..."
"You want to ask me why I know so much about her family, right?"
"Yeah." Wu Xiaowei's beautiful eyes sparkled with stars as she stared at Gao Dongxu's profile without blinking.
"Of course I did my homework in advance and asked around," Gao Dongxu said with a smile. He glanced at Wu Xiaowei, who seemed to be in a state of realization, and continued, "Don't underestimate these elderly people living in the alleys of Beijing. They're the real hidden talents."
