Chapter 75

The urn coffin is actually a coffin made of pottery by ancient people. Placing a Tang Sancai horse as a burial item in the bedroom is inauspicious, and similarly, the pottery urn that Yang Bo bought is even more inauspicious!

Luo Yaohua strongly opposed, and Yang Bo himself also felt a bit disgusted, but because the urn coffin was of such great value, he could only endure it.

Luo Yaohua quickly reacted and, seeing Yang Bo's firm attitude, couldn't help but ask curiously, "What era is this urn coffin from?"

Yang Bo paused, "Yangshao culture."

Luo Yaohua didn't react for a moment, "What? Han Dynasty?"

Before Yang Bo could repeat, Luo Yaohua suddenly widened his eyes, "Yangshao culture?"

Yang Bo nodded, "I speculate that this urn coffin is about five thousand years old!"

"Yangshao culture from 3000 BC!" Luo Yaohua was immersed in shock. Porcelain was truly widely used during the Tang Dynasty, and ancient porcelain generally isn't very expensive, but truly ancient items, even dating back to the Neolithic period, are a different story!

Such Yangshao culture pottery is priceless in the market!

Originally, Luo Yaohua had always felt that the pottery Yang Bo bought was quite simple, but now it looked different. The inside of the pottery was lustrous, the body thick, and the fish pattern on the inner wall had four symmetrical fish, making it undoubtedly a masterpiece of its time!

Luo Yaohua walked over directly and hugged the pottery urn, "Are you interested in parting with it?"

"Since I already love it, how can it be so easy to part with?" Yang Bo joked.

Luo Yaohua examined it carefully again and then shook his head with a bitter smile, "I really missed out on a treasure, and I even helped you choose it!"

"That's right, I should really thank you. I'll treat you tonight!" Yang Bo said with a smile.

"It's not safe in the room. How about we take it to the bank and store it in a safety deposit box?" Luo Yaohua suggested.

Yang Bo looked at the time; it was already 2 PM. "Then let's call and make an appointment quickly!"

As the two carried the pottery out, everyone turned to look at them, and even the pretty receptionist at the hotel watched them leave.

Out the door, Yang Bo suddenly realized, "Using the hotel's car would be safer!"

The two rushed to the bank, placed the pottery urn in the bank's safety deposit box, and Yang Bo took several photos, sending them to Cao Yuande to ask for his help in identifying which specific branch of Yangshao culture the pottery urn belonged to.

To his surprise, Cao Yuande called back within two minutes, "Yang Bo, where are you now?"

"I'm out. What's up?" Yang Bo replied.

"I mean, which city are you in!" Cao Yuende emphasized.

"Chang'an!" Yang Bo had a bad feeling because he hadn't seen Cao Yuende for the past two days, and the latter seemed to have been on a business trip.

"I'm in Chang'an now. Bring the pottery urn over immediately. I'll get a few colleagues to help you identify it!" Cao Yuende's voice was urgent, and even a hint of excitement could be heard.

"Aren't you on a business trip? How did you end up in Chang'an?" Yang Bo asked.

"I've already started working and am currently examining the Chang'an Museum!" Cao Yuende explained, then added impatiently, "Bring it over quickly!"

After hanging up, Yang Bo had no choice but to reluctantly take out the pottery urn and asked Luo Yaohua, "Will it be a problem? Tonight or tomorrow night?"

"Tomorrow morning!" Luo Yaohua said.

"That's good. Let's go now!"

The two quickly arrived at a hotel near the Chang'an Museum, where Cao Yuende greeted them and, without much ado, pulled them into a meeting room.

"I've been in meetings all day. I didn't expect to see your message just as the meeting was ending, so I brought you over. There are many experts here, so we should be able to figure it out quickly!"

Cao Yuende pointed to over a dozen experts in the meeting room and smiled.

Yang Bo had no choice but to place the pottery on a table in the middle of the room and bowed slightly to the experts, "I'm really troubling you all!"

"Not at all! Not at all!"

The experts were all very polite.

Yang Bo and Luo Yaohua sat to the side and waited as the experts carefully examined and identified the pottery. After about half an hour, everyone had finished, and the debate began.

Yang Bo and Luo Yaohua weren't interested in the debate. They chatted idly for another half hour before a conclusion was finally reached.

"This fish-patterned painted pottery jar belongs to the Banpo culture!" Cao Yuende explained.

Yang Bo was delighted, but then Cao Yuende pointed to a white-haired old man and said, "This is Director Wu of the Chang'an Museum. He wants to talk to you!"

Luo Yaohua looked at his watch and interrupted, "Ah, sorry, the bank is about to close. We've already made an appointment with them to take it over. Let's talk tomorrow!"

Yang Bo secretly gave Luo Yaohua a thumbs-up, "I'm really sorry, Director Wu. We'll talk next time!"

With that, they didn't wait for a response and ran out.

Luo Yaohua held his forehead, "That was close. I understand this psychology. When you get something good, the last thing you want is to run into a few stubborn museum directors who will chase you to donate it!"

Yang Bo nodded, "Yeah, good thing you reacted quickly!"

"If you want to thank me, then..." Luo Yaohua stared at him with a mischievous smile.

"I won't part with it!" Yang Bo firmly said, not to be misled.

Luo Yaohua shook his head.

After storing the fish-patterned painted pottery jar, Yang Bo called Cao Yuende, "Brother Cao, I'm really sorry. I didn't make you too uncomfortable, did I?"

Cao Yuende laughed, "You guys were quick to leave, but I'm fine. He asked me to introduce you, and I couldn't refuse, but Old Wu was still complaining to me afterward. He said he didn't plan to buy it because the museum's budget was insufficient, and he hadn't even had time to propose a rental plan when you escaped."

"Rental?" Yang Bo asked, then shook his head, "Too many things are borrowed and never returned. Let's skip the rental!"

"I agree!" Cao Yuende chuckled. Yang Bo heard other voices on the other end, realizing that Director Wu might be there, but fortunately, he hadn't said anything bad.

Director Wu seemed to finally take the phone, "Little Yang, don't misunderstand. I just want to exchange ideas. Even if you take it back, it will mostly be stored at home. If you bring it to the museum, more people will be able to see it!"

Yang Bo chuckled, "Director Wu, I have something to do. Let's talk tomorrow!"

With that, Yang Bo hung up the phone. He wasn't that noble!
