Chapter 150: Taking Advantage of the Old Emperor Again
After hearing what happened, Mr. Kenneth looked at the bag in Shen You's hand with interest.

No one present would deny the exquisiteness of this thing, which could be said to be some lost weaving technique from the East, but everyone expressed doubts.

After processing, the plant fiber is not only resistant to high temperatures and fire, but also has a faint glow in the silk threads, which is really incredible.

What Shen You was waiting for was for everyone to focus on this matter.

The underdeveloped technology in ancient times does not mean that handicrafts were not good. The ancients did not know the formula of saponification reaction and did not understand that wood ash was alkali, but it did not affect their ability to make soap.

When dyeing cloth with plants, the color will be off if there is any mistake.

Even without modern instruments, they still managed to dye the bright yellow color used by emperors.

"This handbag is the work of Master Jiang and is in my personal collection. I will not let it be damaged."

As he spoke, Shen You took out a sachet made from scraps.

Wen Zhi had brought back three from Da Qi not long ago. They were originally made for the old emperor. In order to complete a set of fire-washed cloth, the old emperor had someone dismantle an unworn piece of clothing, part of which was made into slippers, and the rest was made into sachets.

As a result, the two were taken away before the old emperor could use them, leaving only one for him.

After asking Wen Zhi about the sachet he brought back, he gave it to Mr. Xu in the name of the studio.

The old man also brought a lot of fame to the studio.

The other two were in her and Wen Zhi's hands respectively. Compared with the clothes and bags, the sachets were not unique.

Shen You took the lighter from Mr. Kenneth.

Lighters and matches are not allowed on board, but they are the organizers, and they can ask the cruise ship staff when they need them. It is not impossible to use them as long as safety is guaranteed.

Shen You remembered that Master Jiang once told her that the fire-resistant cloth was so resistant to high temperatures that it could survive being burned for just a few seconds, which was enough to astonish these foreign collectors.

“As for the use of modern fire-resistant spray or coating on the fabric, I think the touch will be different.”

Shen You agreed to let Mr. Kenneth wipe his hands and then look at the sachet with a magnifying glass.

In his amazed eyes, he continued, "Our Imperial Capital Silk Museum has a collection of this work, and there are also research materials. You can buy a ticket to see it yourself."

The information released so far is not complete. The experts and students in related majors are all researching and writing papers. If the information is fake, they will go crazy first.

Jiang He translated Shen You's words into a foreign language again.

"It's actually true! The ancient Eastern manufacturing technology is amazing!"

"Hello, Miss Shen. I wonder how much you are willing to sell this handbag for?" A foreign collector couldn't help but ask.

Mr. Kenneth was also asking.

"Or a sachet will work too." The person who said this was a domestic collector. He knew that Shen You would never sell the handbag, so he could only try asking about the sachet.

It’s a little small, but it’s good to be able to collect it.

"Sorry, I have no intention of selling it yet." Shen You declined. "I haven't kept it for long, so I can't bear to part with it."

What she wants is fame, not to sell her collection. Even if she is really willing to sell, she definitely won't do it in this kind of occasion.

Qin Ping stared at his uncle with such eager eyes that he could not bear to blink, but he did not ask the price, as he guessed that it would be useless even if he did. He and Qiu Linlin had even less questions to ask.

If Shen You wants to sell it today, the preview will immediately turn into an auction site, and even the organizer will have to come out and bid.

Mr. Feng looked envious, thinking: She actually has a fireproof cloth?!

After leaving the preview hall, Shen You and his friends went to the cafe on the upper deck of the cruise ship, wanting to enjoy the snow scene on the sea from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Jiang He had other things to do, so he didn't go with them. The cruise ship is now docked in the Norwegian waters. I heard that if you are lucky, you can see the northern lights in the next few days.

Outside, the sea breeze was carrying snowflakes, and the scene was extremely beautiful against the black sea.

Shen You has already bought a down jacket, snow boots and other equipment in the mall on the ship, waiting to go there to play.

The auction will start for three consecutive days tomorrow. You can choose the sessions you are interested in and have the opportunity to disembark during the period.

"I want to see modern jewelry. Can you go with me?" Gu Shaoyu looked expectant.

There was no point asking Mr. Wen, so he asked Shen You directly.

"The first day afternoon session is fine." Shen You agreed.

If she only looks at modern jewelry in the morning, she won't be able to get up, unless she wants to take pictures of bronzes and murals.

These two things were shot in the middle of the night, and she had to watch them even if she didn't sleep.

Bronze ritual vessels are likely to fetch a stratospheric price.

The one on display is really beautiful, and it is not something that came out of the ground. It was collected by the royal family and later drifted overseas.
There are a few small bronze bowls and candlesticks left, which normally wouldn't be particularly expensive. They look a bit like they were taken out of a tomb a hundred years ago and resold, so their preservation condition is not particularly good.

Of course, its value is far less than that of the ritual vessels in the royal collection.

Shen You was holding up her cell phone to take pictures of the snow scene outside and accidentally captured Wen Zhi in the picture.

The lazy posture, the beautiful jawline and the slender fingers resting on the side of the sofa, she just took the photo by accident.

Suddenly, several people came over, Qi Hang, Qin Ping, and Qiu Linlin.

"Ms. Shen." Qin Ping greeted.

He specifically found Qi Hang and brought Qiu Linlin with him, just to find out what collections his uncle had taken a fancy to and whether they could be sold.

The Qiu family has had some problems with their business recently and needs to ask his uncle for help.

This is no small matter. Even with his connections, it's impossible for him to do it in vain.

"We are here to thank you. If you hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't have known there was something wrong with that item." Qin Ping said politely, "Would it be convenient for us to sit down and talk?"

Shen You made a gesture of invitation.

"You didn't believe it at that time." Gu Shaoyu snorted.

Qin Ping immediately responded, "What are you talking about? Of course I don't believe it. I'll ask Linlin to find someone to check it out when I go out!"

The topic came to Mr. Feng. After knowing the relationship between Qin Ping and Mr. Feng, Shen You sighed in his heart that the circle of rich people is indeed not small.

"There aren't many things that a collector of Mr. Feng's level would like. When he came here, he mentioned the glass lamp that was auctioned to me."

Shen You was not so stupid as to tell someone what collection of hers Mr. Feng liked when asked.

If the glass cup is put up for auction, Mr. Feng will most likely bid for it himself.

Qiu Linlin was anxious to find a genuine piece to save the situation, and she couldn't help but speak hurriedly.
"Just tell me how much you want to pay, and I'll sell you the item Mr. Feng likes. Make sure it's genuine!"

Shen You smiled and said, "Ms. Qiu, no antique dealer would guarantee authenticity. You should know the rules of the trade. Besides, I don't need that little money."

Mr. Feng wants to collect the red-glazed spring vase and the jade-carved desk screen.

It's true that she doesn't want to sell. If the other party is willing to pay a high price and spend money on her regardless of the cost, the jadeite can still be negotiated.

As for the red-glazed spring vase, several big collectors have asked, who can't afford the price?
　There will be a flash sale on the 16th~ Everyone can get it for free on the same day~QAQ
