Chapter 160 Chinese Cultural Relics

[Identification result: "Blowing the Water Flute"

Authentic; value: one billion.]

"One billion?"

This number also explains why the system took so long to give its own judgment, and his anomaly also attracted Duodan's attention.

"What's wrong?"

"Actually, I know a little bit about antiques. I personally feel that this famous painting is expensive. I was shocked that your family had such a treasure, so I was a little distracted."

Zhang Yuan's words were naturally not explained to Duodan, but to Uncle Zhang who had been staring at him in the dark. Zhang Yuan was also afraid that he would make a mistake and lose his life here, so he had to

Be cautious.

"Do you know anything about antiques?"

"Haha, I'm still running a company! There are so many things you don't know!"

Zhang Yuan joked, but the hand touching the painting was slightly hot. Could it be the antique smell?

He subconsciously touched the canvas again, and the rich scent was immediately absorbed by him.

"Just the canvas has such a strong antique flavor?"

Zhang Yuan was even more confused. Is it because this painting is extremely precious?

Thoughts were flying in his mind, and he subconsciously looked at the "Water Flute".

A middle-aged woman wearing a straw hat stood almost naked by the window, playing a musical instrument called a water flute.

Zhang Yuan said, I couldn’t understand it, but I was shocked.

If this picture could be bought by a woman for one billion dollars? She can only say that she doesn’t understand the art of foreigners.

But the Duodan family is really rich. A painting can be sold for over one billion, but no one would offend such a large and wealthy family just for these one billion paintings.

"Dodan."

Out of curiosity, Zhang Yuan took the initiative to ask about this matter.

"Although this painting "The Water Flute" is expensive, it's unlikely that someone would take the initiative to offend your family and send a killer because of it, right?"

"Hey, I don't know either. I'm afraid only my father and Uncle Zhang know about these things."

It seemed that Duo Dan really didn't know about this matter. He looked innocent and annoyed. He was probably still secretly blaming himself for Zhang Yuan's injury. Zhang Yuan stopped asking any more questions and continued to visit with Duo Dan.

Her family's paintings.

"Let's go, these are the only things in my house, the real good stuff is still outside."

She smiled slyly, and her big and smart eyes flashed, which touched Zhang Yuan's heartstrings.

He could only smile reluctantly. This girl probably didn't know that she was still a male companion in name. She was so angry with other men that she really wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to control it.

"Ahem."

Several coughs came from outside the house, and Uncle Zhang announced his presence. Zhang Yuan did not dare to think about it, and obediently followed Duodan to a storage room in the manor.

Approaching the door of the storage room, Uncle Zhang stopped Duodan and spoke to the two of them seriously.

"Can you confirm the origin of Zhang Yuan?"

Uncle Zhang did not shy away from talking about these topics in front of Zhang Yuan, but Duodan didn't care at all.

"No need to confirm, even if he has intentions for me, he really saved my life twice, and he also got involved in family disputes."

She looked at Zhang Yuan gratefully and said more firmly.

"Uncle Zhang, you and your father have always taught me to be grateful and to repay kindness. Do I still have doubts and be wary of my savior?"

What she said was righteous and stern, and Uncle Zhang had nothing to refute, so he could only look at Zhang Yuan, then nodded and opened the door to the storage room.

"Do these two people really think I don't exist? Or are they testing me here?"

Zhang Yuan was puzzled, but now that he was under someone else's roof, he had to listen and followed the two of them into the storage room.

It is worthy of being the storage room of an antique family. This room alone is comparable to a museum in a country.

With an area of ​​several hundred square meters, countless rare and exotic treasures are displayed throughout the room.

Zhang Yuan looked at an ancient black vase with an unattractive appearance and was dumbfounded.

[System Identification: Medieval Ordinary Porcelain Vase

Value: three million.]

And such antiques abound here, and the prices are only higher than the last.

"That is?"

Zhang Yuan saw a rabbit-like beast-headed statue placed in a square glass cabinet.

"That is an antique that my grandfather intercepted from a wealthy businessman in a certain country. It is said to be a treasure from the late Qing Dynasty."

Duodan introduced with a smile, but Zhang Yuan's heart felt like bleeding.

This is probably one of the twelve animal heads that were plundered by foreign powers in the late Qing Dynasty. Its value is self-evident.

As for the porcelain and hair accessories placed around, just by looking at them, you can see the strong Qing Dynasty style.

Sure enough, just as Zhang Yuan expected, this place is not just an antique storage room, but also the history of the rise and fall of a nation.

"It seems that the Duodan family is really not an ordinary secular family. It is more likely that they are the descendants of capitalists who made their fortune by plundering in the past."

Zhang Yuan cursed secretly in his heart, and his hands were not idle, passing through the antiques one by one, absorbing the abundant atmosphere inside.

"More! I want more!"

Although Zhang Yuan is full of resentment towards Duodan's family, he still has to rely on his relationship with them to gain more access to these valuable antiques, so that he can improve his own strength and one day recover these abandoned cultural relics.

"Learn from the barbarians and learn skills to defeat the barbarians!"

Zhang Yuan strengthened his belief and scanned one by one.

Uncle Zhang secretly felt that something was not right, but he couldn't explain it, and it was difficult to drive the young man out directly. He scratched his golden hair and thought of ways to drive the two of them away.

But Duodan, a silly girl, didn't realize that the two people around her had hidden agendas, and happily introduced them one after another.

"That jade seal was also collected by my father. Judging from the style, it should be yours."

She said these things as a matter of course, as if there was nothing wrong with owning other people's things. It was bought by her father with money, so there was nothing to blame.

"Why……"

Zhang Yuan sighed secretly, this inexperienced girl was probably well protected by her father, and she had no idea what kind of pain and suffering was behind these ancient artifacts that fell into the hands of outsiders.

"Thank you, Duodan, for showing me so many antiques. I gained a lot of knowledge."

Zhang Yuan's face remained as usual, with no hidden resentment at all. Uncle Zhang also found the right opportunity and spoke at every opportunity.

"Miss Duodan, Mr. Zhang Yuan, it's not early now, you should go back and rest!"

"Okay! I happen to be sleepy too."

Duodan said naturally and yawned.

It’s not easy for Zhang Yuan to rest on his laurels. Anyway, there is still time and we have a long way to go!
