Chapter 17 True and False Gold Seal (Part 1)

After the welcome party, everyone was very busy and exhausted. It can be said that they were exhausted. After clearing away the tables, chairs, benches and other arrangements in the venue, it was already the middle of the night.

This is also the reason why the welcome party is held on Friday night, so that everyone can have a good rest this weekend and not delay the study next week.

Of course, this refers to sophomores, third and fourth graders. For freshmen like Ye Xiaoyu and Zhubapi, next week is a devilish military training week.

Everyone likes to sleep in on weekends, and college students are no exception. However, there is an exception for dormitory 512. As always, the figure of the mysterious young man in black disappeared early in the morning. Along with him, he also disappeared. The long object wrapped in cloth in his hand.

Among the remaining three people, except Zhu Bapi, who was still sleeping with his neck raised and his belly turned upside down, Ye Xiaoyu and Chen Jing had already finished washing up at around seven o'clock.

The two of them were about to call up Zhubapi and go to the cafeteria to eat together. They didn't want to wait until the cafeteria closed before going there without getting anything to eat.

At this moment, Jiang Hao and Zhou Yi came over.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaoyu came over and asked, "Good morning, fellow student! What's the matter? Is something okay?"

Jiang Hao wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it. Zhou Yi, on the other hand, was more generous and said directly: "The two of us would like to treat you to a meal, as a way of thanking you for your help yesterday. Finally, we, the student union, did not make a fool of ourselves in front of everyone."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoyu chuckled and said, "Anyway, I caused a lot of trouble for the two senior students when I came to Juda."

Zhou Yi saw Chen Jing sitting on the bed arranging the cups, and immediately shouted: "You haven't had breakfast yet, everyone, let's go! Don't leave anyone behind."

Zhubapi has very bad ears. When he hears about eating, his ears stand up straight. He stands up like a carp and gets up. The first thing he says when he gets up is: "Eat? What are you going to eat?"

Everyone was speechless after seeing this.

Ye Xiaoyu listened and thought about it for a while. Military training will start next week, and there won't be much free time after that. It's time to go out of school to buy some daily necessities, and then I changed my clothes and got ready to go out.

After the five people left the school, they went straight to the commercial street of Jushan University Town. This is the commercial area of the entire university town. No matter what you want to buy, you can buy it here. Of course, you also need to have a good pair of discerning eyes, otherwise you will be easily ripped off. After all, there is a popular saying: "Students make the best money in a university town."

Everyone arrived at the University Town Commercial Street by bus, probably because it was the weekend, and the bus was full of students who were traveling on the weekend.

After squeezing all the way, we finally got off at the commercial street. Unexpectedly, after Ye Xiaoyu waited for everyone to get off the bus, other passengers in the bus also got off. Everyone took the bus to go for a walk in the business district.

After getting off the car, Zhou Yi greeted everyone directly and said, "Let's eat first! We can't go shopping hungry!"

Ye Xiaoyu didn't say a word, but Zhu Bapi shouted loudly: "Okay!" For him, as long as he eats, anything is fine.

Everyone was led to a small alley by Jiang Hao and Zhou Yi, who said that there was a small restaurant inside that they often went to. It tasted good and was worth recommending.

Ye Xiaoyu didn't say anything. He just did as he pleased. He understood this. But walking into the alley, Ye Xiaoyu found that there were many antique shops on both sides of the alley, with stores decorated in ancient styles on both sides. Some of the doors also had various small antiques and ornaments for sale.

Zhou Yi saw Ye Xiaoyu looking at the items on the antique stalls and asked: "Yu'er, what, are you interested in antiques?"

Ye Xiaoyu replied: "It doesn't count, I'm just curious as to why there are still antiques selling in this university town."

Jiang Hao listened and said: "This must be a piece of history. It is said that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, an antique market was originally opened here. Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it stayed and was turned into an antique street."

While several people were talking, they saw a group of people gathered in front of them. They didn't know what they were doing, and they seemed to be very lively.

Zhubapi took a quick look and took the lead, saying, "What are you doing ahead? Go and have a look!"

When Ye Xiaoyu and others saw it, they were also curious and followed him.

As I approached, I realized that it was originally an antique stall with a row of golden ancient seals, commonly known as golden seals.

Gold Seal, as the name suggests. It refers to the gold seal used by ancient emperors or high-ranking officials. Sometimes, it also refers to official position. In the Song Dynasty, it was also called the characters tattooed on the prisoners' faces, or the seals stamped with gold clay on official documents, documents, etc. Among them, the gold seals of the slave kings of the Han Dynasty and the gold seals of the Dian Kingdom are the most valuable.

When the fat man saw it, he was also curious. It was probably the first time he had seen these things, so he picked one up and started playing with it.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaoyu did not forget to remind: "Fat man, don't touch it blindly, put it back."

Zhubapi, on the other hand, looked unconcerned and said, "It's okay."

Then, he bumped the weight in his hand again . Unexpectedly, the onlookers behind him bumped into him. By accident, the gold seal slipped from his hands and fell to the ground, breaking off a corner.

Now the owner of the antique shop gave up and shouted: "Oh my god! You broke my gold seal. This is a genuine item. It costs hundreds of thousands. You have to pay me and you can't leave."

As he said this, he grabbed Zhubapi's sleeve and replied with a frown: "Isn't it just a small handicraft? How come it's a real thing with you! I'll just give you a few dollars and it's all done."

"You..., you..." It seemed that the owner of the antique shop was very angry.

I saw two people, coming and going, learning from each other. It was said that the fight was inseparable, and no one was willing to fall into the disadvantage.

Seeing the quarrel, the owner of the antique shop couldn't stop talking, so he immediately used his playful spirit, hugged Zhubapi's arm tightly, and said: "I don't care, this gold seal was still good at first, but you broke it when you came here. You Either give me a genuine gold seal, or you will lose money to buy it. I won’t ask you for more, 150,000."

When Zhubapi heard this, his eyes widened. This was obviously a trick to him. He opened his mouth and said, "One hundred and fifty thousand, I'll give you a grandma."

If the antique shop owner asked him to pay one hundred and eighty yuan , he would accept it. In this breath, asking him to pay 150,000 yuan was clearly taking advantage of him. How could he agree to this?

The two of them were fighting fiercely, and the crowd gathered around them. I could only hear some people in the crowd talking quietly. Some people thought the gold seal was authentic, while others thought it was a fake. You name it. Some people even acted like good guys and offered compensation. I don’t know if it was because of the boss’s request or because they were truly knowledgeable experts. It was really not a big deal to just watch the excitement.

Ye Xiaoyu watched the two sides arguing and saw that the two were about to fight, so he quickly stepped forward to stop them.

The owner of the antique shop saw this and looked at Ye Xiaoyu. Seeing that he was dressed as a student and not very old, he asked disdainfully: "What, you have to pay for him?"

"of course not!"

"If you don't, just get out of here."

As soon as he said this, Zhu Bapi was annoyed. Yelling, he stepped forward and said, "What did you say? Can you speak properly? Believe it or not, I will smash your stall."

The owner of the antique shop is a jerk and very cunning. He smiled evilly and said, "Smash it, smash it! I'm afraid you won't smash it. I'll call the police after you smash it. When the police come, you'll pay me compensation. If you can't afford the compensation, you'll go to jail."

"You damn me..." Zhubapi was so angry that he went up to him and wanted to beat him.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaoyu said quietly : "Fat man, don't cause trouble."

Then he said to the owner of the antique shop: "You must be the owner of this antique shop, right? What do you call it?"

Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu was being polite, the owner of the antique shop raised his neck and replied, "It's easy to say, my surname is Li."

Ye Xiaoyu picked up the two gold seals on the ground and said: "Boss Li, this gold seal of yours is at most a handicraft, not even a high imitation. To ask for 150,000 yuan is too bullying." Bar."

Boss Li didn't take Ye Xiaoyu seriously at all, thinking that just one of his students could make some noise, so he replied: "If you say it's fake, then it's fake. This is the real thing. A serious gold seal from the Song Dynasty. "

Jiang Hao followed, and Chen Jing was already preparing to call the police. After Zhou Yi saw it, he didn't forget to add: "Put it down! If it is really authentic, you are willing to put it on the ground in front of the antique shop and sell it, just put it on a piece of cloth, you are fooling the devil!"

Boss Li glanced at Zhou Yi angrily and replied: "Boy, you must be in the same group! You don't know what informality means. Good things are sold on the ground."

After hearing this, everyone onlookers booed. It seemed that they had met the old shopkeeper.

After hearing this, Ye Xiaoyu said, "Brother Xue, I'll take care of it. It's okay."

After that, he said to Boss Li: "Boss Li, if I can prove that he is fake, we won't have to pay compensation."

"Can you prove that he is fake? What I say is obviously true, but how come it becomes false when it comes to your mouth?"

Ye Xiaoyu smiled and picked up the two gold seals on the ground without saying a word.

These two gold seals are about the size of an adult's palm, with crystal-clear mottled colors. There is a coiled dragon engraved on the seal, which is lifelike and interesting.

However, something strange is that the shapes of the two of them are almost exactly the same. At least Ye Xiaoyu couldn't see any difference at first glance. It's like putting it in front of a mirror, it looks axially symmetrical. But he knows that such large gold seals cannot be mass-produced. They are unique antiques. Just like our company seals today, it is impossible to engrave several of them. This is the same reason.

So, he said: "I dare not say whether he is fake or not, but it is definitely not real. There cannot be two identical seals like this. If there are, one of them must be fake."
