Sure enough, hearing He Yuzhu mention that the jade thumb ring was a replica, the person standing nearby also gave up any intention of buying it. People came to the antique market to hunt for genuine antiques, after all; there was no point in buying modern handicrafts to take home.
Seeing his customer back away, the stall owner grew anxious. At this rate, he would never sell the jade thumb ring, or if he did, the price would plummet. He immediately turned to the customer and said, "Sir, don't listen to him! This is a jade thumb ring used by an emperor. Word has it that Tang Taizu, Li Shimin, wore this very ring!"
Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh. Yet another stall owner who hadn't done his homework. Tang Taizu was actually Li Hu, the grandfather of Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of Tang. Li Shimin was Emperor Taizong of Tang.
