Xu Yun glanced at Zuo Meiyan. "You're not joking, right? Golden crown? From the Ming Dynasty? "
"I know. You must think I'm talking about the Yishan Golden Crown." Zuo Meiyan said, "It's not the crown of the past emperors. It's another one, but its craftsmanship is really comparable to the Yishan Golden Crown. It's just a bit heavier than the Yishan Golden Crown. It's more than a thousand grams. "
The Yishan Golden Crown was only 826 grams.
Although one gram of gold was worth a few hundred yuan, this golden crown was 200 grams heavier than the Yishan Golden Crown. That was tens of thousands more.
But this antique couldn't be ignored, especially when it was worn on the head!
Think about it, the Yishan Golden Crown was worn by the emperor. Eight hundred grams on the head was about one catty and six taels! This was already heavy enough. If it was more than one catty, the cervical spondylosis would probably be even more serious.
So, this thousand gram crown was definitely not as good as the eight hundred gram crown!
What did it mean to wear two catties of gold on the head? Have you seen eggs before? If you put twenty eggs on the head, it would be about the same weight.
As for the emperor's Yishan Golden Crown, it was about the same weight as sixteen or seventeen eggs.
"Who would have something like this to auction? This should be a national cultural relic, right?" Xu Yun: "Where did it come from? Who would be so bold to auction it? Hasn't the relevant department intervened?"
"It's not something from underground." Zuo Meiyan said, "It's a family heirloom."
Xu Yun's eyes widened. "A family heirloom?"
"Yes, a family heirloom." Zuo Meiyan nodded. "So it's a personal property. No one can interfere."
"This is really a real thing, not a fake?" Xu Yun still didn't believe it.
"An expert has appraised it. It's definitely a Ming Dynasty Golden Crown." Zuo Meiyan said with 100% certainty.
Xu Yun had a look of surprise on his face. "Then there's a problem."
"What problem can there be?" Zuo Meiyan also didn't understand what Xu Yun was suspecting.
"You just said that this golden crown was personally given to the head eunuch of the Eastern Intelligence Bureau by Ming Chengzu." Xu Yun: "Is that right?"
"That's right." Zuo Meiyan nodded.
"What's a eunuch?" Xu Yun asked.
Zuo Meiyan's face reddened. "What are you talking about?"
"In ancient times, the capital was dedicated to serving the emperor, the monarch, and his family. They were called eunuchs." Xu Yun said, "Not all of them were castrated during the Pre-Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty. From the Eastern Han Dynasty onwards, all of them lost their sexual abilities after being castrated and became neither male nor female."
"Of course I know that eunuchs are eunuchs!" Zuo Meiyan said helplessly.
"The person who wanted to auction this golden crown said that it was a family heirloom. Family heirlooms were left behind by their ancestors." Xu Yun said, "This eunuch is a eunuch. How can a eunuch have descendants?"
This was an obvious contradiction!
Zuo Meiyan was stunned by Xu Yun's words. She really hadn't considered this.
"Can you listen to the main point? The most important thing is this golden crown. " Zuo Meiyan said, "As for how this eunuch got his descendants, you don't have to worry about that. He might have been adopted. Why do you have so many questions?"
"I just think that there's a problem with the logic." Xu Yun said.
Zuo Meiyan glared at him. "Let me tell you, whether there's a problem with the logic or not isn't a problem. The problem is that this golden crown is from the Ming Dynasty. That's enough."
Xu Yun grinned. "Then why do you think I bought this thing? I'm keeping it for myself … I don't have that kind of thought. I'm afraid that I'll get cervical spondylosis if I wear such a heavy thing on my head all day. "
Zuo Meiyan rolled her eyes. "I really have nothing to say to you."
"That's true." Xu Yun said, "Am I telling the truth?"
"Are you crazy to buy this thing and wear it on your head?" Zuo Meiyan said. Based on the current price of two to three hundred yuan per gram, how much would a thousand grams cost?
Even if he wanted to flaunt his wealth, there was no need to flaunt it like this. A tattooed mafia boss who drove a Mercedes-Benz would only wear a necklace of two to three hundred grams.
She had never seen anyone flaunt their wealth while wearing a golden crown.
"You want to buy it?" Xu Yun was startled.
Zuo Meiyan said, "If the price is right, it's not bad to buy it and put it in the film studio to ward off evil spirits."
"Can something worn by a eunuch be used to ward off evil spirits?" Xu Yun was not interested in this thing at all.
"You really don't know what's good for you. I saw that you were bored recently and wanted to find something for you to do." Zuo Meiyan said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go."
Xu Yun was not interested in this kind of non-charity auction. The money from the sale would go to the person who did it. It was boring.
Besides, gold was not valuable now. It cost two hundred yuan per gram. One kilogram was only two hundred thousand yuan.
Xu Yun could spend five hundred thousand yuan to make something better than this golden crown. Why would he buy this antique?
Once this thing was linked to an antique, its value would increase by a thousand times.
"It depends on my mood." Xu Yun: "If there's nothing to do, I'll go take a look. If there's anything else fun, I'll buy a few things while I'm at it."
Zuo Meiyan spread out her hands: "Whatever."
Soon after, the two sunk into silence. Xu Yun was bored and took out another cigarette. However, due to his misgivings about Zuo Meiyan bringing up the topic of children again, he put it down.
"Actually, you don't need to worry about them right now." Zuo Meiyan said, "If they can't take on some things on their own, shoulder some pressure on their own, and resolve some difficulties on their own, then they won't be able to accomplish anything in the future."
Xu Yun nodded his head: "I understand the reasoning. I just feel that this method is a bit too risky."
"This is their own decision." Zuo Meiyan said, "You can't help them for a lifetime."
Jiang Hong and Jiang Zixue had to learn to face problems and resolve difficulties on their own sooner or later.
"It's been a lot more peaceful recently. I believe that no one would be foolish enough to take on trouble at this time, right?" Zuo Meiyan said.
Xu Yun also understood this reasoning, but who knew if there would be someone who wouldn't act according to common sense?
"They shouldn't be fools." Xu Yun said, "Then let them do it."
"There's still some time before your little lover from Canada arrives." Zuo Meiyan said, "You can relax and go to Yanjing to relax for a few days. While you're at it, you can also go back to your unit to take a look. Don't let the people over there miss you too much."
Xu Yun stared blankly. Zuo Meiyan really was worrying about everything for him.
"You don't have to worry about everything for me. It's so tiring." Xu Yun said, "You have enough work to do on a daily basis, and you still have to worry about me so much."
"I'm not tired." Zuo Meiyan said, "I'm just thinking that no matter who it is, if they can give your Xu Clan a son or a daughter sooner, wouldn't life become more colorful?"
Xu Yun heard this and broke out in a cold sweat. This really reminded him that he needed to pay attention to his own safety in the future.
"It's getting late. I'm going back to sleep." Zuo Meiyan picked up the cigarette on the table. "It's best for you to quit smoking now. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the next generation. To be a qualified parent, you have to make sacrifices."
"…" Xu Yun was speechless.
"You can't be selfish in this matter." Zuo Meiyan said, "I'm going to sleep. You should rest early too."
Zuo Meiyan finished speaking and left the courtyard, leaving Xu Yun alone to stare blankly at the bright moon in the sky. It was the fifteenth day of the month, and the moon was very, very round.
Xu Yun could only see the current peace, but he couldn't see the danger that was brewing thousands of kilometers away.
