Chapter 109- 110

　　Chapter 109 Doubt

　　Although it feels a bit strange, Fu Yun'an always has no malice towards him but only kindness.

　　Mu Qiong said: "Doctor Fu, I happen to have something to talk to you about."

　　"What's the matter?" Fu Yunan asked curiously.

　　Mu Qiong took out an emerald-carved pen holder from the drawer and gave it to Fu Yun'an: "Doctor Fu, I think this pen holder is very beautiful, so I give it to you."

　　Mu Qiong asked Sheng Zhaohui to find this jadeite pen holder for him.

　　Fu Yun'an helped him find a good house, and later gave him some things one after another, so he wanted to give Fu Yun'an a gift in return.

　　But it is really troublesome to choose what to give to a man.

　　The pens have already been delivered, Fu Yunan can get better than what he got for some new items that have been handed down from abroad, not to mention, these things will depreciate in a few years, Mu Qiong doesn't want to spend a lot of money to buy them.

　　After much deliberation, he finally decided to give Fu Yun'an a jade product.

　　China has been playing with nephrite since ancient times. Jadeite such as jadeite was not very valuable in ancient times, and it is rare in the market.

　　But in the period of the Republic of China, jadeite has become valuable, and jadeite with good quality is very expensive.

　　However, it is the early years of the Republic of China.

　　Antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times, gold is valuable now, but the prices of emeralds and antiques are not high.

　　At this time, ten taels of gold could buy a decent house in Beijing with the land below, but in modern times... what can ten taels of gold buy?

　　But jadeite is different. The price of jadeite at this time is really too cheap compared with later generations.

　　Moreover, after Mu Qiong converted the price of rice, he found that the value of gold and silver at this time was higher than that of modern times, and the value of jadeite was just the opposite.

　　He thought it was a good gift.

　　At this time, the top jadeite was not cheap. The pen holder Mu Qiong chose was not the best in quality, otherwise it would not have been used as a pen holder, but in an era when there are fewer and fewer good jadeites a hundred years later... ...This kind of appearance is already one of the best.

　　"This pen holder... You've spent a lot of money." Fu Yun'an said.

　　"It didn't cost much, much cheaper than jade. Before Sheng Chaohui's mother's birthday, he bought a small jade gourd for his mother, and it cost two thousand oceans." Mu Qiong said.

　　Such a big jade pen holder only costs a few hundred oceans, which is simply too cheap... Mu Qiong has already decided to buy some jade bracelets for Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu.

　　"Thank you." Fu Yun'an smiled and accepted the pen holder.

　　He didn't study jade or anything, and he could even say he didn't know anything about it. He heard Mu Qiong say that it was much cheaper than jade, so he just thought it wasn't jade.

　　Of course, he can choose another gift for Mu Qiong.

　　Mu Qiong's character, after getting along for a period of time, he also understands a little bit. If he gives a gift, Mu Qiong will definitely return the gift, so there will be exchanges.
