Chapter 8 Being Deceived

Lin Qingshu was surprised: "Did you stay up all night to do it last night?"

"Well, I just did it casually if I had nothing to do."

Lin Qingshu didn't say that he was ready for the exam. Looking at the test points that he stayed up all night and wrote carefully, the strangeness in his heart deepened, and a smile bloomed on his face: "Thank you, I will definitely come back with perfect scores."

Lu Tang thought that she would only set a passing goal at most, but he did not expect that she would be so confident that she would get perfect scores.

Her confident gaze was so bright and dazzling that Lu Tang felt like a ray of light was shining on him at this moment.

"Okay, you can definitely do it." Lu Tang pulled off a rabbit leg and gave it to her.

After eating and drinking, Lin Qingshu put the pamphlet in his canvas bag like a treasure, "You go back first, I have somewhere to go, so be careful."

"Where are you going? I'll accompany you." Lu Tang took a few steps to catch up with her and almost fell down the slope.

He soon discovered that his legs and feet were not very agile, and he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Then I won't follow you."

Lin Qingshu waved to him and walked towards the black market.

The boss was impressed by her this time and approached her eagerly, "Girl, are there any good things again?"

"yes."

"But I'm going to increase the price this time."

"Girl, this is the rule in our small place. We have already given you the highest price for your items. You will never pay such a price if you go to other places."

The last time Lin Qingshu went back, the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong. At that time, she was in urgent need of money, so she rushed to take action. But now that she had saved enough for tuition, she came to sell jade finger rings. She just wanted to save some money, so she was not in a hurry.

The boss saw that Lin Qingshu was young, so he lowered the price a lot.

She just came along the road to inquire about it. Last time, the Han Dynasty clay pot was sold for 400 yuan on the black market in the town. The boss lowered the price and only gave 200 yuan. He made a lot of money.

"Boss, I am also a regular customer. If you do this business, I will not come to you if I have good things in the future. Forget it last time, I want these this time."

Lin Qingshu stretched out his hand.

The boss was a little embarrassed and said, "Let's see what we're talking about first."

As soon as Lin Qingshu took out the jade ring, the boss's eyes went straight, "This is the finest mutton-fat white jade from the Song Dynasty. It is still translucent after all these years, so it is really top-grade."

"The boss is a good judge of goods. I want these, but not much."

Lin Qingshu whispered, stretched out five fingers again, and said: "The town will charge twice as much. I am not short of the travel expenses. I just want to make friends with the boss."

What she said is right, it is true that there is no shortage of travel expenses, but there is a shortage of freedom.

If she brought such an object into town, she would be gone for two or three days without being discovered.

The money must not be leaked, not to mention that Lin Yuan and others cannot know about this matter, otherwise they will have to search for the money.

Lin Qingshu is not greedy for money, she is just afraid of some changes. In the 21st century she lives in, saving money and food is the only way to go.

With the style of the Lin family, it is impossible for her to attend college. Although Peking University does not charge tuition fees, living expenses must be paid.

She was just lucky these two times and picked up these antiques. If she doesn't keep them all, she won't encounter them again when her luck runs out.

The boss hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

Lin Qingshu wrapped a stack of large lump sums in cloth and placed them in a canvas bag.

As soon as I walked outside, I heard a familiar voice.

"Little brother, look at this, this is a Dushan jade carving from the Ming Dynasty, how come it's only worth one dollar!"

Lin Qingshu took a closer look and saw that the person who was arguing with the store clerk was the grade director she had met at school two days ago.

His eyes then turned to the so-called 'Ming Dynasty Dushan Jade Sculpture' in his hand.

Lin Qingshu clicked his tongue.

Giving him a dollar was for the sake of the exquisite carving and had nothing to do with the jade itself.

I just didn't expect that this disdainful sound would cause the grade director to roll his eyes.

Lin Qingshu was white and fat, and he was still wearing the blue jacket he had met that day.

The grade director recognized her at a glance and said, "What's wrong with you? You're disrespectful, what an attitude!"

Lin Qingshu's face turned red when he saw him arguing, and he thought about showing mercy.

"Director, I was passing by and heard you say that this is a Dushan jade carving from the Ming Dynasty, so I would like to remind you that this thing is fake. The little boy gave you a dollar to buy the carver's craftsmanship."

"What do you know, you yellow-haired girl? I bought this for ten yuan at a fortune-telling stall. The old man said this is the authentic Dushan jade carving, which can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune." Director Huang protected this thing like a treasure.

, if his wife hadn't been laid off recently and there were five mouths waiting for food at home, he would have been reluctant to sell this treasure.

"You have been deceived. Authentic Dushan jade carvings will not fade." After saying that, Lin Qingshu touched the back of the jade carving and raised his finger in front of his eyes.

"This kind of thing becomes less valuable as time goes by. Even if you spend a dollar on it, it won't be considered a loss."

Director Huang's face became darker and darker. He was originally going out to sell things, but the whole family was waiting to use the money to buy some special meat to eat back home.

This is not a good thing, as it adds insult to injury to an already poor family.

Lin Qingshu seemed to notice his dilemma, his eyes lit up, he pointed at the jade pendant around his neck and said, "This is a good thing."

After listening to her words, the guy looked at Director Huang's neck and said, "Yes, the thing on your neck can be used as fifteen yuan."

Director Huang didn't expect that the broken jade pendants he dug out when building a house turned out to be good things. They sold for fifteen yuan a tin, so he would pick them off and give them to the young man.

Lin Qingshu quickly stopped him, "Hey, wait."

With that said, she walked forward and looked at the young man, weighed the jade pendant in her hand, and glanced at it sharply, "Tell me, how much is this worth?"

Although Lin Qingshu's frame is small, it can't hold up a lot of flesh. His big eyes are bright and lively. Although half of them are hidden by the flesh, they are still a bit scary.

This posture made the waiter's voice tremble, "Ten...fifteen yuan."

"Who are you fooling! One hundred and fifty dollars!"

Director Huang was shocked after hearing this, and quickly pulled Lin Qingshu aside, "You little girl, don't cause trouble here. How can a big-hearted person who can't read a word still recognize this thing? Fifteen yuan is a lot.

Don't mess with me, go home and play!"

When the guy heard what the owner said, he straightened his back and said, "Where did this wild girl come from to meddle in her own business? What do you know? I gave him the extra fifteen yuan because of my pity. You are such a fool."

The lion opened his mouth and thought I was a soup kitchen!"

Lin Qingshu doesn't have to wade into this muddy water, but as an expert in archeology and treasure appraisal, if her identity is questioned, then she can't be blamed for being ruthless.

She picked up the jade pendant and raised it above her head, pointing it at the sun.

"The jade body is transparent, without impurities, natural aqua green, and has a slightly cool texture. This is turquoise from the late Ming Dynasty. I don't know whether it is worth 150 yuan, but it is definitely not 15 yuan!"
