chapter 5 Gem Phoenix Hairpin ===

"Sister Mo, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now!"

Keith Thubron sincerely apologized. Thanks to Gertrude Mallin cooperation just now, he would have been embarrassed.

"I also know that you are trying to stimulate Cary Warth, but... you won't do it next time, hum!"

Gertrude Mallin glared at Keith Thubron fiercely, but she wasn't really angry.

"Sister Mo, thank you!"Keith Thubron wanted to laugh when he thought of Cary Warth's disappointed look.

"Just be pretty!"

Gertrude Mallin was embarrassed and stretched out her hand to pinch him, as if she was being coquettish.

Keith Thubron heart was filled with excitement when he saw it, and he secretly swore that he must become stronger. Only then would he be worthy of her!

Not only did he want to make money, but he also wanted to practice the skills within the Dragon Crystal. He no longer wanted to be bullied like an ant!

"Look at you, your clothes are all dirty!"

Keith Thubron looked down at the blood spots on his clothes and asked, "Sister Mo, how about you accompany me to the mall to choose some clothes?"

"Okay, I love shopping the most!"

The two drove to the commercial street, and Gertrude Mallin helped him choose two sets of very decent new clothes. Although it was just a simple shirt paired with jeans, it changed Keith Thubron entire personality.

He is handsome and handsome!

The two walked out of the mall. Keith Thubron pointed to the back and said, "Sister Mo, there is a cultural street behind here that also sells antiques. I will take you there to have a look."

Gertrude Mallin became interested as soon as she heard it, and followed him into a shop selling calligraphy and paintings, but she just took a quick glance and came out.

She shook her head and said: "They are all imitations and have no collection value."

"Let's take a look around again. Last year, a Ming Dynasty landscape painting appeared here and sold for more than two million yuan!"

"Whose painting is it?"

"It seems like something..."

"Dong Qichang?"

"Guess so!"

“I never expected that Dong Qichang’s paintings would appear here!”

Gertrude Mallin cheered up again and followed Tang Fan to an art store, which was filled with various Buddhist bead bracelets and some jade pendants.

Keith Thubron Fan glanced around and found a golden light on a black wooden sword. It turned out that there was something else inside this wooden sword!

I guess the boss didn't know it and threw it casually in the corner.

"Boss, how much does this wooden sword of yours cost?"

The boss was sitting in front of the computer watching a movie. He glanced back and replied expressionlessly: "That's Ebony. It hasn't opened yet today. You get eight thousand!"

Gertrude Mallin chuckled and said: "Boss, this is obviously peach wood, but it's blackened by smoke!"

"Hey, little girl, I didn't expect you to be an expert!"

The boss stood up hurriedly and said: "Although it is not ebony, it is also lightning-struck peach wood. Hanging it at home can ward off evil spirits!"

Gertrude Mallin shook her head. In her opinion, this piece of junk had no collection value.

Keith Thubron said impatiently: "Boss, let's not be nagging. Please tell us the real price!"

"If you want to buy it sincerely, just give me two thousand!"

"Forget it!"

Keith Thubron threw the wooden sword on the glass cabinet, turned around and left.

"Hey..." The boss quickly stopped Keith Thubron and said with an aggrieved look, "Little brother, how much can you give me?"

"Say boss, I've lived in White Tiger Mountain since I was a child, and I've actually seen lightning strike trees. As for you, there's still the smell of oil smoke!"

Gertrude Mallin smiled and said: "Boss, isn't this because your bacon was blackened when you smoked it?"

The boss didn't feel embarrassed and said: "Even if it is an ordinary peach wood sword, this length is worth eighteen hundred, right?"

"I'll give you two hundred!"

Tang Fan stretched out two fingers.

"Absolutely not, please add more..."

The two sides negotiated the price for a long time, and Tang Fan finally spent three hundred yuan.

After coming out, Gertrude Mallin picked up the wooden sword, looked at it, and said, "It must be old, so it wouldn't hurt to hang it in the house as a decoration!"

Keith Thubron heard that she was comforting him. He held the wooden sword in his hand and pretended to look at it. Then he pointed at the handle and screamed: "Sister Mo, look!"

"What's wrong?"

"The handle is a mortise-and-tenon structure, so it might be possible to take it apart!"

"What are you taking it apart for?"

"Is there a treasure hidden in here?"

"You!"

Gertrude Mallin smiled helplessly: "I admit that you are lucky today, but you can't always pick up treasures, right?"

"Maybe, I'll go back to the hotel and take it apart later!"

"As you wish!"

Gertrude Mallin thought that simplicity is indeed cute, but being too simple is a bit childish.

Keith Thubron was thinking about the treasure in the wooden sword and followed Gertrude Mallin back to the hotel. He borrowed tools from the front desk and began to disassemble the wooden sword when he returned to the room.

Gertrude Mallin did not disturb him and continued to study the Song Dynasty Tianmu Zhan.

With the help of his clairvoyant eyes, Keith Thubron quickly split the wooden sword into two halves. The sword body was indeed empty!

He picked up the sword blade and tipped it out, and a golden hairpin inlaid with rubies and sapphires fell out, along with a roll of yellowed paper and a seal.

"so beautiful!"

Although Keith Thubron didn't understand, this hairpin looked like something extraordinary. He had seen the treasures above on the heads of women in court dramas.

"Oh my God!"

Gertrude Mallin carefully held the hairpin in her hand and said, "This is a gold phoenix hairpin inlaid with treasures. The phoenix shape is very exquisite. The red one is coral, the white one is Hetian material, and the green one is Jade grown in glass should be a Qing Dynasty craft, but it is not something ordinary people can use!"

Keith Thubron handed the yellowed paper in his hand to Gertrude Mallin and said, "Look if there is an introduction on it..."

Gertrude Mallin opened the paper, looked at the words on it carefully, and exclaimed: "It's incredible!"

"What's written on it?"

Gertrude Mallin took a deep breath and said, "This is the golden phoenix hairpin used by Dorothy Creets! Keith Thubron, your luck today is really incredible!"

"ah!"

Keith Thubron looked stunned. Although he saw that this thing was valuable, he didn't believe that it had such an origin.

"Have you known for a long time that there is something in this and are you pretending to be a noob with me?"

Gertrude Mallin looked at Keith Thubron carefully, she really didn't believe that a person could be so lucky.

Keith Thubron smiled and said, "You don't think my eyes can see through, do you?"

Gertrude Mallin also smiled, shook her head and said, "Yes, you are not a god!"

Gertrude Mallin handed the paper to Keith Thubron and said, "It's clearly written on it. He was originally the Qing palace guard Meng Xiang. He once protected Dorothy Creets when she went to the Summer Palace to burn incense and worship Buddha. Unexpectedly, Dorothy Creets's hairpin fell to the ground. At that time, everyone felt that This is an ominous sign, no one dared to pick up the hairpin, even the Queen Mother herself pretended not to know."

"But at this time, Meng Xiang boldly picked up the Golden hairpin and knelt in front of the Queen Mother and said, 'Congratulations to the Queen Mother, the phoenix hairpin fell to the ground, blessing the Qing Dynasty, this is a good omen!' The Queen Mother, who was originally in a bad mood, heard this , Feng Yan was so happy that she not only rewarded him with a Golden hairpin, but also appreciated him even more."

"Since then, Meng Xiang has been promoted step by step, and even became the governor of our Sungkiang. Later, during the war in the Republic of China, Meng Xiang was worried that the treasure would be robbed, so he hid it in a wooden sword..."

After Gertrude Mallin finished telling the story of the Golden hairpin, the two looked at each other speechless, and there was only the sound of deep breathing in the room.
