Chapter 243 The Price of Rare Pearls
Standing outside and looking inside, you can see that it is a shabby yard, extremely poor.

After coming in, the cold wind disappeared immediately, the yard was beautifully tidied, and there was not even a bit of snow on the ground.

The one-story house became a three-story house.

The young woman was sitting in the gazebo.

What an immortal!

No wonder he sent people here several times but found nothing except the altar nearby.

In an instant, Huang Chuan's idea of ​​forcing someone to leave the mountain disappeared.

There are so many talented people in the capital, but no one has such ability.

Who dares to force her out?

"It's an exception for me to meet you today." Shen You acted like a master and continued, "It's not time for me to go to the capital yet. If you want something, you can exchange it with the pearls. If not, forget it."

"I'm just worried that the saint can't wait all this time, and he also needs the formula to burn the glass bottle," Huang Chuan explained hurriedly.

As mentioned above, try to comply with any requests from the experts.

However, the top-grade pearls are not only treasures, but also symbols of status, so he did not dare to make the decision.

"Are you sure? I can give you the item first and send the pendant to the Imperial Master's residence. I will go get it myself later. As for the formula, I've already said that it's useless even if I give it to you. If you insist, that's fine. The price is different."

If someone took her things without paying, she would ask her employees to collect the bill from the palace.

"I will go and deliver the message right now!" Huang Chuan made a prompt decision.

In fact, he was somewhat reluctant to leave. Staying a little longer in the place where the hermit lived might bring him great benefits.

But Shen You had already indicated that he was leaving.

"Immortal, you live alone in the mountains. Do you need a disciple to accompany you? There are many smart people in my family." Huang Chuan asked again.

It would be an honor for the whole family to be able to practice with her!
Officials in the court despised sorcerers, but they only looked down on charlatans. If someone was really powerful, every family would worship him!

Who dares to say anything bad about the former supervisor?

"No need." Shen You looked at his enthusiasm and her eyes twitched, indicating that he could leave if he had nothing to do.

The next second after Huang Chuan stepped out of the shop, a biting cold wind blew in his face, making him feel like everything that had just happened was just a dream.

Looking back, all that was left in sight was the closed wooden door.

Seeing his dazed look, his subordinates couldn't help but look at him with curiosity.

"My Lord, what did you see in there?"

"What the national master said is true. The people inside are the real masters!" Huang Chuan exclaimed.

Originally, it was thought that offering sacrifices to the mountain god and praying for blessings here was a cover-up, and that the national teacher and the Liu family had joined forces to conceal the secret of transporting supplies.

They had all thought about the underground secret passages in the mountains leading to the outside world.

Some even suspected that the national teacher and the Liu family had private soldiers here, and the so-called masters were just their accomplices.

So, they sent people to investigate and after a lot of effort, they actually saw the ancient altar.

This doesn't mean anything, it could just be a coincidence.

Every time Liu Yunyan's people came here, they were on high alert and guarded the place tightly. No matter how they were asked, they only had one excuse: to clean the altar.

Of course they didn't believe it and they dug deep into the ground to find the flaw.

As the imperial teacher was in Shuozhou City, Huang Chuan did not dare to act rashly and finally waited for an opportunity.

Who would have thought that there really was no secret passage or private soldiers, and that the master was really here?
-

After closing the shop, Shen You leisurely prepared dinner.

While sitting at the dining table, I sent a message to Gu Shaoyu, asking him about the market price of the "King of South Pearls".

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Don't tell me you have this thing!!!"

Gu Shaoyu stayed up all night last night and got up in the afternoon. He just packed up and prepared to find something to eat.

When he saw Shen You’s message, he suddenly became excited.

"Then I'll break through."

His family has high-quality sources, but he didn't get this thing. He only saw the real thing once at a personal exhibition of a well-known foreign collector, and the rest were photos. It appeared several times at auctions, and they were all natural pearls of some age, large in size, and once owned by the royal family.

It is very beautiful, but judging from the gloss alone, it is still different from the 'King of South Pearls' that Shen You mentioned.

The one in the South Pearl Museum is smaller than the pearl pendant that was auctioned for over 200 million yuan, but its shape is a perfect oval and its glossiness is stronger. This is the difference in varieties.

Even without the historical value attached to the "royal family", it is not difficult for natural saltwater pearls of that size to be auctioned for tens of millions nowadays.

Shen You: "No, not at the moment, I just remembered you mentioned it before, so I asked first."

Gu Shaoyu just breathed a sigh of relief and then stared carefully at the text sent by Shen You.

Is this Chinese?

"Not at the moment" "Ask first"

That means she really has news about this thing.

"The value of each pearl is different, depending on the shape, size and luster. Natural seawater pearls with a diameter of more than 1.5 cm are extremely rare and are collectibles. The South Pearl King collected in 90 is 1.55 cm and is currently the largest natural seawater pearl in China."

Gu Shaoyu replied.

"Do you have any information about this? An auction or a private collector?"

He couldn't sit still. His curiosity and excitement made his body feel like it was being itched by thorns. He wished Shen You could take him to see it right away.

I'm so anxious.

Is his internet connection bad? Why hasn't he received any messages yet?

Gu Shaoyu switched the WIFI to 5G.

Shen You took two bites of the food and said, "I am a private collector."

The old emperor is certainly a personal collector.

"Is the other party going to take action?" Gu Shaoyu became even more excited.

"Not sure yet." Shen You said.

The old emperor probably wanted to use the bead as a burial object, so that he could continue to possess those treasures underground.

However, for the emperor, who was living in a period when handicrafts and economy were developing well, he would have had no shortage of rare treasures.

See if he is willing to give it up.

"!!! If you can get it, can you let me take a look at it? I will have no regrets in my life."

He had never seen pearls of this level up close.

In theory, pearls cultured from pure seawater are no different in composition from real natural pearls, but the pearls are planted artificially, and the price of good quality ones is not cheap.

All the seawater pearls on the market now are of this type.

But real natural pearls will not enter the market. The luster of the South Pearl King is even rarer. It was appraised to be worth millions in 90, but now it is kept in museums and will not be sold at all.

"Okay, if I can get it." Shen You agreed.

"If you are not sure about the price, you can also show it to me. By the way, how much did the other party offer?" Gu Shaoyu asked again.

Shen You: "I happen to have a collection that the other party likes."

Gu Shaoyu understood and said a few more words, telling him to contact him anytime if he had any questions, as there were many tricks involved in jewelry.

Shen You said it was no problem.

Anyway, her cost is not high, and if she has to spend real money to collect it, she won’t spend that money.

Gu Shaoyu immediately found Mrs. Gu and told her the news about the top-quality natural pearls.

Mrs. Gu had just arrived home and hadn't even had time to put down her bag.
"Really? Pearls of such high quality? Where are they? Do you have pictures? Let me see them."

She searched for so long, but never got the chance to collect one.

"There are no pictures, so I guess we haven't finalized it yet." said Gu Shaoyu.

Madam Gu pulled Gu Shaoyu over and said, "If Miss Shen doesn't want to take it, you can ask how much it is and see if we can take it."

Mrs. Gu thought that since Shen You didn't want it, they could talk about it again, and it wouldn't be her intention to compete with her.

My son is doing a good job in the studio, and their family definitely cannot ruin the cooperation.
