Chapter 49
After lunch, my father-in-law Xiao Changkun was already dressed neatly and urged Ye Chen to say, "Ye Chen, hurry up and prepare, drive our new car and go to the antique street with me. There is a store that has arrived in a Tang Dynasty official kiln vase, I want to go over and appreciate it."
Ye Chen couldn't help but persuade: "Dad, are you starting to play with antiques now? Our family doesn't have much money. Is it a bit too luxurious to buy antiques?"
Xiao Changkun has no ability to make money, but he has done a lot of dreams of getting rich. He likes to visit antique streets when he has nothing to do, and dreams of finding a gap.
But in the past few years, he has been mostly cheated.
Before, he had been calm for a while, but he didn't expect that not only did he not stop completely, but he was rekindled.
Seeing that Ye Chen actually dared to point fingers at him, Xiao Changkun snorted coldly and said, "Don't talk so much nonsense, hurry up and send me over."
Ye Chen had no choice but to disobey, so he had to drive his father-in-law to Antique Street.
On the way, Xiao Changkun sat in the newly bought BMW and was very proud.
Instead of sitting in the co-pilot, he sat in the spacious back row, crossing his legs, directing Ye Chen to drive, while asking Ye Chen to play his favorite treasure hunting audio novels on the speaker.
In his words, I am old and have no time to read books, so I just listen to it every day.
That's all. Ye Chen followed him and found that in the story he listened to, the protagonist could spend ten yuan to gamble a jadeite rough stone worth one billion yuan.
Hearing this, Ye Chen understood why his father-in-law had endless dreams of getting rich every day.
Xiao Changkun listened with relish. While listening, he still sighed: "Oh, when will I, Lao Xiao, get into this great fortune? I can earn ten billion yuan by buying a stone for ten yuan? Alas, don't have one billion yuan, I'll be satisfied with one hundred million..."
Ye Chen coughed awkwardly and said, "Dad, stop thinking about gambling on stones, that's all lie."
Xiao Changkun curled his lips: "You know nothing."
After saying that, seeing that the car had already arrived at the Antique Street, he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and find a parking space to park the car, don't delay the time I made an appointment to see the goods!"
Jinling is a historical city, located in the antique street outside the scenic area. It is also quite famous in China, gathering antique dealers and Taobao merchants from all over the country.
The local tourism department also took advantage of the situation and spent huge amounts of money to renovate the antique street to create a tourist attraction.
When he arrived at the Antique Street, Xiao Changkun came to the door of an antique shop well and told the reception staff that he had made an appointment and invited the two of them to the VIP room at the back to see the goods.
Ye Chen was about to walk in, but Xiao Changkun turned around and said, "Don't follow in. You can't understand it even if you go. Wait for me at the door of the VIP room!"
Ye Chen had no choice but to nod: "I understand Dad!"
Xiao Changkun carried his hands behind his back and followed the receptionist into the VIP room, and Ye Chen sat down in the rest area.
...
A few minutes later, Ye Chen suddenly heard a crisp "bang" sound from the VIP room.
Then, Ye Chen saw his father-in-law Xiao Changkun and ran out of it with a panic look.
He muttered, "It's over, it's over! It's over now!"
Ye Chen hurriedly walked up to him and looked behind his father-in-law. He saw a tall and thin ceramic bottle on the ground that had been broken into two pieces, and there were still many small ceramic fragments on the ground.
Through the fragments, it can be vaguely seen that the broken one should be a jade pot spring bottle from the Tang Dynasty.
He was influenced by the Ye family since he was a child and was well-informed. He could tell at a glance that this bottle was a real antique, and it was not a big problem to sell it for millions of dollars in the market price.
It seems that my father-in-law has caused a big disaster this time.
In the VIP room, a middle-aged man said with a dark face: "Mr. Xiao, our jade pot spring bottle was recovered by more than 5 million yuan. Now that you break it, you must compensate according to the price!"
This person is Zhou Liangyun, the manager of Jiqingtang.
Xiao Changkun pulled Ye Chen over and said in panic: "This is my baby son-in-law. Do you know how much money he has? Not to mention five million, even fifty million is not a problem! You two talk about compensation! I have something to do, so let's go first!"
After saying that, Xiao Changkun pushed Ye Chen in, turned his head and ran out.
Ye Chen was confused. This father-in-law was too shameless. This was clearly a slander!
Zhou Liangyun looked at Ye Chen and asked coldly: "This gentleman, there are a total of 5.38 million yuan. Are you swiping the card or transferring money?"
Ye Chen spread his hands: "I have no money."
It’s not that he can’t afford to pay, but he just wanted to teach his father-in-law a lesson so that he wouldn’t ask himself to come to the antique street every day in the future.
"No money?" Zhou Liangyun gritted his teeth and said, "If you smashed our Jiqingtang things, do you think you can escape with just saying you don't have money?"
Ye Chen said helplessly: "I didn't want to hide, but I really don't have money. Besides, I didn't smash this bottle from me. Why do you ask me to compensate?"
Zhou Liang was furious: "Isn't that your father-in-law?"
Ye Chen nodded: "You said too, it's my father-in-law, not me. Whoever smashes it will ask for compensation? This is called a traitor and a debt. The disaster is not as good as the family. Do you don't understand this principle?"
Zhou Liangyun was annoyed, but what Ye Chen said made sense.
If he asked him to compensate without saying anything, and if it spreads out, Jiqingtang's sign will be destroyed.
So he hurriedly blurted out to the people around him, "You guys, hurry up and catch that old guy back!"
Ye Chen watched them rushing to chase their father-in-law, smiling alone without saying a word.
In fact, he could just swipe his card to pay the money, but wouldn’t it be cheaper for his shameless father-in-law?
Instead of doing this, it would be better to let this old guy suffer a little.
Otherwise, if he encounters such a thing again in the future, he will still cheat himself.
All the people from Jiqingtang were dispatched to capture Ye Chen's father-in-law. Ye Chen was idle and looked at the bottles broken in half on the ground.
The bottle is about half a meter high and has now broken into two halves and a pile of fragments. It is a pity to look at it.
However, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be hidden at the bottom of the lower half of the bottle.
He hurriedly reached in and took out a little wooden box!
Unexpectedly, there is such a mystery in this bottle!
The shape of the Yuhuchun bottle is the only small mouth. This wooden box is obviously two or three circles larger than the mouth of the bottle. It seems that this was not stuffed in later, but when making this bottle, the wooden box was directly made into it!
From this point of view, this wooden box should have been left behind during the Tang Dynasty!
He held the wooden box in his hand, looked carefully, and then opened the wooden box with a little force with a bang.
As the wooden box opened, an extreme fragrance suddenly spread out. Ye Chen took a breath and felt refreshed.
After a closer look, there was an ancient book less than the size of a palm slap in the wooden box!
Ye Chen picked up this very small ancient book and saw four ancient seal characters "Nine Profound Heavenly Classic" written on the title page.
"This name is interesting, I don't know what it records." Ye Chen opened the book and looked back.
The first article is "Medical Technique", which records a large number of cases and treatment methods.
Ye Chen frowned slightly. He had also come into contact with traditional Chinese medicine and knew some basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine. However, the content recorded in this book is obviously much more clever, such as the methods in the traditional Chinese medicine industry today.
Some diagnosis and treatment methods are unheard of. Even at the end of the Medical Skills, Ye Chen also saw the effects of alchemy and some elixirs, which are simply beyond the real society.
Ye Chen became interested and sat on the ground, constantly flipping.
Unexpectedly, in the "Nine Profound Heavenly Classic", there are also Feng Shui divination content, as well as various magical methods such as treasure appraisal and repair. In addition, there are many other strange things.
Ye Chen read it for a long time and felt that every word in the book was drilling into his mind, his heart was like boiling water.
Find a bargain!
