A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 323

The next day, after breakfast, Yun Jiao and the others went to the old antique shop together.

Yun Xiaoba was still holding a box containing the apprenticeship gift prepared for him.

Like Yun Jiao, after the tea ceremony, Gu Lao was considered to have accepted her as his apprentice.

He took out two sets of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

"Here, this is for you. You're just starting to learn calligraphy, so don't use anything too fancy. This set is enough. Once you've mastered it, I'll give you and Yunjiao another set."

"Thank you, Master."

Yun Xiaoba thanked him with a strong and resounding voice.

"Master, this is for you."

"Oh, you even brought a gift for the apprenticeship ceremony?"

Old Gu chuckled and stroked his beard before opening the box.

He stared at the contents for a few seconds, then slowly closed the lid.

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, he murmured, "Did I see wrong?"

When you open it again, the broken pieces of porcelain are still lying quietly inside.

"Hiss... This, Song Ruci, is it real?"

Having dealt with antiques so much, he could naturally tell at a glance that these porcelain shards were genuine, and even Song Dynasty Ru ware.

"Is this the complete set?"

Yun Jiao blinked: "I think so, anyway, when we found it, it was all put together like this."

Where did you find them?

Old Gu tidied the table and carefully took out all the broken porcelain shards from the box.

"Picked it up."

Yun Jiao gave a particularly honest answer.

"What?"

The old man's hand trembled slightly as he held the porcelain shard. After a few seconds of thought, he asked, "Did you find it at the ghost market?"

"No, I found it in the sea."

ancient:…………

Yun Jiao seemed to think the excitement wasn't enough and continued, "There are quite a lot of porcelain shards over there. I picked out the pretty ones to take home, and I picked out a few of the broken ones with nice colors. Grandpa Gu, don't you like these things? I'll give them to my brother as a gift for your apprenticeship."

For a moment, Gu Lao was at a loss for words.

"you……"

Could this kid have discovered an ancient shipwreck?

But he didn't ask. It was a sensitive matter, and it would be impolite for him to ask.

"If you don't like those broken porcelain pieces, just bring them to me, and Grandpa Gu will fix them for you."

Although restored porcelain is certainly not as valuable as the original intact piece, it is still much more valuable than ordinary porcelain, after all, it is an antique.

"it is good."

Yun Jiao nodded: "Then I'll bring it to Grandpa Gu next time."

Old Gu hesitated for a moment and said, "If you find out what the things you picked up from the sea are, or if you're unsure, you can bring them to Grandpa Gu, and I'll appraise them for you for free."

Yun Jiao nodded.

She doesn't care about antiques or anything like that; she only cares about looks.

Yes, she is a superficial person.

After that, Gu Lao suppressed his curiosity and led his two brothers to learn calligraphy.

The first day mainly covered some basic techniques, such as how to grind ink, how to hold the brush, and proper hand, shoulder, and back postures...

After they had taught the children enough, they let the two children leave.

After Yun Jiao and the others left, Gu Lao found a box and carefully collected all the porcelain fragments. He then stopped guarding the antique shop, closed the door, and leisurely went to find Master Yun Jiao with his hands behind his back.

He took Jiaojiao's brother as his apprentice and taught Yunjiao calligraphy. He had to show off to that old man.

However, Gu Lao was still concerned that Yun Jiao might have discovered a shipwreck.

He certainly wouldn't be so disrespectful as to covet those things; he was just itching to see what treasures were inside.

If there's something I like, but Yun Jiao doesn't really like, I can just buy it. I wonder which era the shipwreck is from.

…………

Seven days after the money was handed over to the village chief, the village chief convened a meeting of all the people of Bailong Village.

Everyone gathered together and asked each other about it.

"What happened? This time, every household has to send someone to participate."

"I don't know, nothing major has happened in the village lately."

"The village secretary is here, does that mean someone did something wrong and will be criticized?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not mine. We're a very honest family."

Yun Jiao was also brought over by her father, along with the two dogs in the house.

"Lin Hai and Lin He, bring your children over here."

The village chief greeted them with a smile as soon as he saw them.

The village secretary's eyes lit up when he saw the family. He stood up to greet them, and his enthusiasm was overwhelming.

Instantly, everyone who had gathered there turned their attention to their family.

Yun Jiao was already used to this and remained very calm.

"I've called everyone here today for something important."

Once everyone had arrived, the village chief began to make the announcement.

"After discussion, we plan to expand and renovate our village temple and ancestral hall."

These words were like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil, causing an uproar among the people below.

"What? Village chief, why didn't you discuss such a big decision with us before making it?"

"That's right, village chief. How much will it cost to rebuild the village temple and ancestral hall? Where will the money come from?"

"We're not going to have to pool money, are we? You know our family's situation, village chief, we don't have much money to spare."

Everyone agreed that they would be willing to rebuild the village temple and ancestral hall, but where would the money come from?

"All quiet."

The village chief's son shouted at the top of his lungs, and the lively discussion below gradually subsided.

"Why are you all in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet. You don't need to pay for this."

They don't need to pay?

Everyone was truly shocked. How could they rebuild it if they didn't have to pay for it?

"We were able to rebuild the village temple and ancestral hall, and even expand them, all thanks to Yun Linhai's family and Yun Jiao."

What? It's Yun Jiao again?

Countless eyes turned to look at Yun Jiao.

Yun Jiao shifted her position and hid behind her brothers.

Although she was used to being stared at by many people, she was still not used to being looked at like this, as if they wanted to study her.

"Everyone knows that Yun Jiao is good at diving. She rescued Yun Tao before, and she also found and brought back several boats in the village. Her skills are obvious to all."

This is true.

The village chief has gotten to the point.

“A few days ago, Yun Jiao found a skeleton at the bottom of the sea. The skeleton had been lying at the bottom of the sea for who knows how many years. Jiao Jiao brought it ashore.”

hiss……

Everyone looked at Yun Jiao as if she were a warrior.

This little girl is really brave; she even dared to bring up human bones.

What they feared most in the sea was encountering dead people.

There is a legend that if you don't find a dead person at sea and don't properly bury them, you will have a lot of bad luck when you go out to sea in the future.

But how good could the people in the Dead Sea be? They were simply unsightly, let alone suitable for burial.

Bones, while not as frightening as a bloated corpse, are still enough to scare ordinary people like them and give them nightmares.
