127 I Mainly Wanted to Make a Deal With You, Little Kid (3)

Zhao Yuan smiled at Ye Xuan and asked gently, “What are you doing here?”

Ye Xuan replied calmly, “Nothing special. I just came over to take a look and see if there was anything good.”

Zhao Yuan laughed out loud and said loudly, “What good things can there be here? The real good things are in the high-end literary play area over there!

“There are some old shops inside, and the items sold inside are all real. Coincidentally, Shopkeeper Lin invited me to take a look at something good today. If you’re free, shall we travel together?”

Zhao Yuan’s voice was quite loud. The surrounding pedestrians and shopkeepers could hear him clearly, but no one dared to challenge him.

Teacher Zhao Yuan was a famous appraisal master. Challenging him was no different from denouncing themselves.

Ye Xuan was originally here to stroll around. Seeing that there were many pedestrians around, there was no point in strolling around.

Therefore, he simply nodded and accepted Zhao Yuan’s invitation.

Zhao Yuan was very happy and led the way for them with a smile.

“Expert Zhao, what’s the good thing you were talking about?” Ye Xuan asked casually as he walked.

Zhao Yuan shook his head gently. “I’m not too sure either, but it must be something good.”

Even Shopkeeper Lin said that it was a good thing. It was definitely a top-notch rare item.

The few people beside Ye Xuan looked curious.

“Teacher Zhao, did they invite you to appreciate the items, or do you need to do an appraisal?”

“With Teacher Zhao’s status, to be able to invite him to the shop personally, they definitely need him to do an appraisal!”

“The waters of the antique industry are too deep. Even experts and masters might not be able to distinguish many treasures. The joint evidence of many masters is required.”

Zhao Yuan only smiled when he heard this. His expression was very arrogant.

On the way forward, many people took the initiative to greet Zhao Yuan.

The shops along the antique street were all decorated in an ancient style. Many staff members who entered and left were also wearing long gowns and coats, making them look ancient.

Liu Yanran looked at the environment here and couldn’t help but tease. “The antique street here is really special. It can be used as the set of a transmigration drama.”

Zhao Yuan placed his hands behind his back and said with the demeanor of a master, “There’s naturally a reason why the Jinling Peach Garden can be famous in the entire China. If there’s nothing good, it won’t be able to support the decorations here, right?”

Liu Yun followed behind and explained in their ears in a low voice, “The bosses who can open antique shops on this street are all people who have connections in both the government and the underworld. I heard that many bosses even have the contact information of some traffickers to make deals in the underworld.”

Liu Yanran was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, “No way. What era is this? Are there actually people in this industry?”

Liu Yun looked like he didn’t understand, yet explained at the same time, “The price of antiques from the golden ages is getting higher and higher every year. Just look at the Spring Auction these few years and you can see the clues.”

Those who did illegal business were all outlaws who licked blood from the edge of their blades. They naturally risked their lives to earn money.

However, the various customs inspections were becoming more and more strict, so the most important thing was to find a capable and powerful seller.

At this moment, Zhao Yuan pointed at a separate building not far away and said, “Look, that’s Lin Antiques.”

As they got closer, everyone could tell that the area of Lin Antiques was larger than the antique shops they had seen before.

This shop was the size of three or four ordinary antique shops.

Moreover, judging from the main structure of the building, there was a second and third floor.

The building was built with green bricks and red tiles, making it very pleasing to the eye. Even Liu Yanran, who had always been arrogant, was stunned.

“This building is really beautiful. I’m afraid these construction materials were sourced specially for this building, right?”

Zhao Yuan glanced at Liu Yanran and nodded with a smile. He said, “This lady is right. The construction materials here are all old tiles collected by the boss from the Qing Dynasty. They were only used as building materials after they were refurbished.”

“How particular!” Liu Yun widened his eyes and suddenly asked Zhao Yuan curiously, “Teacher Zhao, do you think the tiles of the Qing Dynasty are considered antiques now?”

Before Zhao Yuan could speak, Zheng Jianghao, who was at the side, said coldly, “With your level of culture, do you still have the cheek to say that you learned about antique collecting from your father? Everything that can become an antique is meaningful to collect. Otherwise, if you only consider the age of the item, someone would have sold the corpses of their ancestors!”

Zheng Jianghao’s words were quite vicious, making Liu Yun unable to continue. However, he also knew that Zheng Jianghao had no ill intentions. Even if he did, he could not do anything to him. Firstly, this was the leader of Brother Xuan’s bodyguards. Secondly, he could not defeat Zheng Jianghao.

Although Liu Yun had also trained before, he had a feeling that if he fought Zheng Jianghao, he would not be his match even if it was five against one or ten against one, let alone one against one!

Zhao Yuan grinned and said, “This little brother’s words are rough but reasonable. It does make sense. The antique industry emphasizes collecting beauty. Many things are not worth money just because they have been around for a long time.”

As everyone spoke, they arrived at the entrance of Lin Antiques.

The door was left open. As soon as they entered, they saw a very exquisite screen. Behind it seemed to extend to the stairs upstairs.

The first floor of the shop was very large. There were two exquisite tea tables in the middle. There were many treasure cabinets built on the four walls to store various porcelain and antiques.

On their right was a very long and wide black counter. Inside stood a middle-aged man in a yellow traditional Chinese suit.

When the middle-aged man people enter the shop, he did not even look up. He was focused on the account book on the table.

As soon as they stepped through the door, the fragrance of sandalwood and high-grade wood mixed together and shot into their noses.

Ye Xuan and the others walked to the treasure cabinet closest to the door and saw many different types of porcelain items placed on it.

Liu Yanran looked at a porcelain bowl that was very beautiful and reached out to take a look.

At this moment, an attendant came out from the side and smiled at Liu Yanran obsequiously, but he stopped her from picking up the bowl. “Madam, please wait a moment. The antiques here are all priceless goods. If you only plan to take a look, you can tell me. I can pick them up and show it to you in various angles for you to admire slowly.”

As he spoke, the attendant quickly put on his white gloves and carefully picked up the porcelain bowl.

Liu Yanran subconsciously looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan explained with a smile, “Don’t blame him. This is the rule in antique shops. He doesn’t even despise you for being a new customer who doesn’t know anything.”

When the attendant heard Ye Xuan’s words, he chuckled and quickly added, “Look at what this young master said. I don’t dare to look down on beautiful ladies! However, there are rules in the shop, so please forgive me.”

Meanwhile, Zhao Yuan walked to the counter and gently tapped three fingers on it.

The middle-aged man looked up and recognized Zhao Yuan. He immediately expressed surprise and went to inform the boss.

Zhao Yuan walked to everyone’s side and gave an introduction. “Old Master Lin Dongpeng is also a big shot in the Chinese antique world. His shop is filled with treasures. Do you see these treasure cabinets? They’re all made of high-grade rosewood!”

With such an accomplished and eminent store, they could guarantee with their credibility that all the items they sold were real antiques. Although they were selling expensive antiques, there were still many customers.

Many high-ranking officials and n.o.bles only acknowledged Shopkeeper Lin’s reputation!
