What did she see?
The Western Zhou Jade Wall, the Qin Dynasty Dragon Pattern Mirror, the Tang Dynasty Painting Fan... Tsk! Each of them is priceless, if it were in later generations.
"Young comrade, if you want them, I'll give them to you, but I must warn you, these things cannot be seen in public. They will bring you trouble, even cost your life. Do you still want them?"
"Grandma, I'm not afraid. Don't worry, I have my own ways. Like this, tell me how much, and I'll buy them from you, or exchange them for grain if you prefer."
The old lady waved her hand dismissively, "These things, even if given away, no one would want them, it's just that you don't understand them, young comrade."
I do understand!
It seems the old lady really considers these items to be troublesome things.
"Then how about I don't take your money, and I give you some more grain instead, as a form of offset, how does that sound?"
"How could that be right? These things are a hassle!"
