“Elder Mrs. Yan.” Master Tu seemed to be embarrassed and stammered, “This porcelain cup means a lot to me. If you’re willing to part with it, I’ll buy it for eight million Yuan. Is that okay?”
As if Master Tu was afraid that Elder Mrs. Yan would not agree, his voice carried a hint of pleading. “If you like azure-colored ice-crack porcelain like this, I have another one at home that’s also from the Song Dynasty. I’m willing to exchange them and still compensate with eight million Yuan. How about it?”
This time, even the experienced and knowledgeable Elder Mrs. Yan was stunned.
“No,” she subconsciously refused, “This is a birthday gift from Xiao Lin. It’s rude of me to sell it to you just like that.”
The person who had previously said that Bai Lin gifted a street stall goods had his jaw dropped to the ground.
Compared to Master Tu t s technical terms and praises, the impact of the numbers was more direct.
Eight million Yuan plus an authentic Song Dynasty artifact?
The total value would be more than ten million Yuan then?!
The porcelain that Bai Lin had brought was probably more expensive than all the gifts present combined…
Not to mention that this piece of porcelain actually made Master Tu feel that his life was complete.
Just how powerful was Bai Lin’s background? Just how powerful was she to be able to get such a treasure and even give it away as a birthday gift?!
Bai Lin’s eyes widened when she heard the number.
She was not a naive person who did not know what was good. That day, she could tell at a glance that this was a gem.
According to her observation, the people who sold those porcelain were either rich or noble, and they were just pretending to be that way.
At that time, she had guessed that some rich heir who had no money to spend must have stolen the antique from their family. She thought that it must be a real antique, and that person had indeed said that it was worth three million Yuan. She felt that the three million Yuan was not really taken from her account, so she had haggled the price and brought it back.
In fact, it was strange. Bai Lin was really puzzled that day. Why was that person willing to sell the porcelain that was originally sold for three million Yuan for only five hundred Yuan? No matter how poor a young master was, he would not have to be like this.
For this reason, she had carefully studied the porcelain and read up on a lot of information. She only dared to bring it to Elder Mrs. Yan when she was 90% sure that it was a genuine piece from the Song Dynasty.
But now, the value of this porcelain had actually increased by several times? On the other side, Master Tu was still trying to bargain with Elder Mrs. Yan.
“Then—then can 1 offer ten million Yuan?”
“Master Tu, 1 1 m really sorry. It’s not appropriate for me to sell this gift that Xiao Lin’s carefully prepared for me. If you like it, you can come to my house often to toy with this porcelain cup. I’ll definitely treat you with good tea and food.’
Elder Mrs. Yan was still insistent on her own idea and politely refused.
Master Tu shook his head and sighed, but he did not say anything. He thought that since the Yan family was a rich family, they would definitely be able to protect this treasure.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Bai Lin. This girl looked young, but she was able to bring out such a birthday gift. She must not be simple. “Young girl, where did you get this porcelain cup from?”
Bai Lin’s expression remained impassive as she calmly replied, “l bought this from a private collector. His family seemed to have fallen and he had no choice but to sell it.”
Seeing Master Tu frown, she added, “But… he seemed to value this treasure
very much, so he only agreed to sell it to me after I persuaded him with all my might.”
With this explanation, Master Tu t s brows finally relaxed. After hearing that the antique he had always liked was treated with great care by others, and that the state of the porcelain was indeed very good when he checked it just now that it could even make a crisp sound, he finally unraveled the knot in his heart.
His eyes then fell on the dark green cloth that Bai Lin had brought with her to wrap the porcelain piece.
It was fine if he did not look carefully, but he did not know whether to laugh or cry when he looked closely now.
It was a little sloppy to wrap such an expensive porcelain in cloth.
He smiled and instructed Bai Lin, “Even though this is Suzhou’s Song brocade, don’t use it to wrap porcelain in the future. It’s more secure to use a box with shock absorption and cushioning.. Can you remember this?”
