Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 81 Pit Depth 032 Meters First Trial (1)
Something good came out of the out-of-phase place on the compass, and Mo Jiu immediately became interested.

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to greet her, she strode inside and went straight to the inner hall, "Shopkeeper, ship the goods."

The shopkeeper is an old man in his early sixties, his beard is half gray, but his back is straight.He was a little annoyed at Mo Jiu's uninvited entry, but he didn't reach out his hand to hit the smiling face—especially a beautiful woman with a smiling face. He calmed down a little, and stroked his beard and said, "What kind of goods does the young lady sell?"

"A piece of jade." Mo Jiu said, but glanced at a jade carving of a lady on his counter.

The beauty on the jade carving has a pointed chin and an oval face. She wears a long-sleeved undergarment, a hibiscus-colored silk, and a lady’s bun. Not only does her face look smart, but the pearls and hairpins are lifelike. Even the lines and lines of her clothes are also lifelike. The appearance of the clothes is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. It is the same, and judging from the production process, it should be something from the early Tang Dynasty.

"This elder sister is pretty." Mo Jiu's eyes lit up, and she put her hands on the lady's jade carving unceremoniously. She couldn't directly talk about Tang (for fear that Tang would not exist), but said, "It must have been hundreds of years, right?" Her gaze slowly slipped away again, looking casually at the skinny man who sold the goods, "Dug it from an old grave?"

Tomb robbery is an unglamorous profession in any era, especially in today's traditional patriarchal society, where tombs represent a kind of spiritual authority of ancestors. criminal punishment.

So when she heard what she said, the skinny man blushed and said angrily: "You little lady is so unreasonable, you have no proof, how can you insult people's innocence for nothing?"

Mo Jiu waved his hands old-fashionedly, "No, no, I've always been honest and tight. The soil on Xiao Lang's feet is different from ordinary soil. It's slippery, sticky, and has a faint light green color...it's this lady. The body of the jade carving also has this light green color, which clearly comes from the base of the tomb."

While she was speaking, the gaze of the shopkeeper with white beard had changed from surprise to appreciation.In the antique industry, there are many people who can talk on paper, but with only a pair of naked eyes, you can tell the age of an item, and you can observe the source in such a detailed way, you have to rely on a certain amount of experience.He didn't expect that this young lady would have such insight, so he couldn't help but stroked her beard again and listened quietly.

Of course, Mo Jiuyuan did it just to show him.She continued to ask the skinny man, "Touching for gold is a matter of destroying Yin and Yang's life. Not only do you not have the slightest sense of awe, but you dare to sell it here so brazenly? Believe it or not, I will sue the officials later and arrest you?" "

When the man heard this, he became impatient, "I'm just a second-hand businessman. I've cooperated with my boss for many years. He knows the way I'm a person. How could I do those things?"

Mo Jiu glared at him sideways, "The tomb robber didn't even write a word "Root" on his face! Why should he trust you?"

The man snorted coldly and explained in a hurry, "The heavy rain in Hongze Lake these days has caused disasters. The water level in Zhaojidu has risen, and the crops on the riverbank have been damaged. The flood has washed away the land and destroyed the foundation. I dug it out from the ruined field of my own house, and I bought it from him for ten taels of silver..."

"Stop!" Mo Jiu turned to ask the shopkeeper, "He asked how much money you want?"

The man was taken aback, and immediately blushed, but the shopkeeper smiled, "He wants 1000 taels."

Mo Jiu turned back and looked at the man, "How much do you think is suitable?"

Nowadays, all men regard themselves as big men, and no one is willing to argue with women. The man lost a sum of money for no reason. Although he was not very happy, the shopkeeper did not lose him too much. He gave 200 taels as a reward and did not say anything He was grateful and went straight away.
