Chen Xia and Gu Lin took the train the next day and left Northeast.

The next stop is the capital.

At this time, the capital is not something you can go just by wanting to, especially for young couples, who must bring a letter of introduction, work permit, and marriage certificate.

Without these documents, you can't even buy a train ticket, and it's hard to get to the capital.

If two people live in the same room without a marriage certificate, it is not possible to say whether it is possible. If you are caught, you won’t joke with you. Chaoyang Aunt will teach you how to be a human being in minutes.

So Chen Xia and Gu Lin both lacked documents, and their clothes were very similar to overseas Chinese of this era, and they did not encounter any difficulties along the way.

The principle of people relying on clothes and Buddha relying on gold clothing is the same in any era.

The capital of Peking, Chen Xia has been here many times in his previous life, and is not unfamiliar with it, but this is the first time Gu Lin has come back, so there is no need to say that excitement.

As long as you are a Chinese, who doesn’t yearn for the Tiananmen of Peking?

The two of them had a good time for a few days, from the square to the Forbidden City, from the Temple of Heaven to the Summer Palace, and the towering Great Wall, they all walked around.

Chen Xia also went to Houhai specifically and took a photo with Gu Lin on the Yinding Bridge.

The little girl didn't know that Chen Xia and his wife in his previous life also took a photo of the same location on this bridge. Someone was just missing the person in his previous life...

On the third day, Ying Yuanyue, Chen Zheng, Chen Jia and Chen Sheng rushed to the capital together.

This time they took the letter of introduction and work permit from the Qingfeng Branch of Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company, and came to Beijing in the name of coming to Tongrentang to buy medicine.

His real purpose is to help Chen Xia acquire antiques.

Chen Xia could not trust others, but she could trust this little old man and his brother.

Ying Yuanyue has a unique vision. Chen Zheng, Chen Jia and Chen Sheng have both served as soldiers and have certain military power. They have a lot of antiques to buy this time, but they are afraid that any stubborn master will be targeted by the imperial city. It will be a headache.

If you have the opportunity to travel to the early 1980s, it is absolutely impossible to miss when you go to the capital to collect antiques.

Of course, don’t think about finding a bargain. At the foot of the emperor, there are so many experts who crouch the tiger, hidden dragon, so how can you give you the chance to pick a bargain?

But it’s okay not to pick up the bargains. Antiques are really cheap nowadays. A plate costs a few dollars and a plate is the normal price. There are dozens and hundreds of people, and only a few thousand yuan will be there.

Of course, it is much more expensive than the few dollars in Yuezhou. After all, Yuezhou is just a small 18th-tier city in the countryside. It cannot be compared with the capital, and the price is definitely much higher.

Many time travel novels are written about buying courtyards in Shichahai, the capital, and Gulou, for investment. Chen Xiake has no such plan.

The main reason is that he has no way, so there must be scalpers, but there are few good courtyards in the capital, and the slums have no meaning at all.

Even if I bought a big house, it was so grand and was separated from the Forbidden City by a moat, so what?

Can ordinary people hold this kind of courtyard? A man is innocent and the crime of possessing a treasure is the same in any era. So what if you have money? In this world, money can never fight against power.

Chen Xia didn't want to make money in the end, but offended anyone. For the sake of a few houses, he took out a few glass imperial green jade bracelets, which was not as good as a courtyard house?

So Chen Xia’s goal is very clear, and she wants antiques.

Where can I find the most antiques? I usually go to Liulichang, Fuchang Street Market, Xuanwu Factory and other places to the west of Tianqiao. As for Panjiayuan, the "craft market" that was later famous for Dingding, it did not appear at this time.

As for going to the homes of ordinary people to "collect junk"? Chen Xia didn't have this time and the courage.

What kind of Buddha, the stubborn master, the old cannon, is there a foreigner looking for death?

Some readers want to ask, didn’t you clearly say you didn’t have the chance to “find a bargain”? Why do you now say you can detect a leak? Isn’t this contradictory?

This is really unfair.

I just said that I didn’t have the chance to get a bargain, which means that it is impossible to get it for nothing without the knowledge of it, or to pay a very low price of a few cents per yuan to acquire antiques.

People know how to behave, and real guys can tell the difference between fake guys.

But having the opportunity to pick up bargains means that the things hyped in each era are different. The 1980s are in chaos. Who knows which antiques are valuable in decades?

At this time, people only knew that the porcelain of the five famous kilns, Jun kiln, Ru kiln, Guan kiln, Ding kiln and Ge kiln were treasures, so the price was too high.

But did they ever imagine that decades later, those charming people during the Qianlong period could be sold at sky-high prices of hundreds of millions.

Who would have expected that Yuan blue and white porcelain would eventually reach the top and become a legend?

Now the national treasure-level cultural relic "Yuan Blue and White Yuchi Gong riding alone to save the master's picture jar", was still used as pickle jars in the countryside.

Mr. Ma Dudu said on TV that in the early 1980s, he bought a rosewood desk at the home of a professor at Huaqing University for 5 yuan.

Does this old professor know that this is Rosewood? People must know, but they don’t have this vision and don’t know how much money they can sell for decades to save.

The old professor doesn't understand, but Mr. Ma Dudu has this vision, so he deserves to be rich.

A "invisible rich man" like Mr. Ma can be ranked first in China even in 2020, but his strength is not reflected in visible and tangible stocks, cash, and real estate.

Antiques are priceless, and if you sell the things in your hands, you will definitely be ranked among the top few in the "pig killing list".

What Chen Xia wants to learn is Mr. Ma Dudu. It is better to hide antiques than to hide money, and it is better to buy antiques than to buy a house, so as to save too much money on the surface and be missed by others.

The king is to make a fortune in silence.

Three days after that, Chen Xia and Ying Yuanyue searched everywhere at these antique gathering places. Each time they gathered a certain number, Chen Zheng and the other two took them back to the guesthouse next to them.

The staff at the guesthouse are not surprised by this. Now there are smart people who are quietly purchasing antiques, so it is not uncommon for people to come in and out in this way.

Every time he piled up a room, Chen Xia would let everyone leave, and he quietly put a lot of antiques into the space hospital.

Over the past three days, except for Ying Yuanyue and others, Chen Xia waved her sleeves and spent 200,000 yuan to buy antiques that were enough to support a museum.

How much more? Let’s put it this way, the infusion halls of hospital outpatients worth thousands of square meters are all full.

Ying Yuanyue really shook his hands. He had seen exaggerated ones, but had never seen such exaggerated ones. As long as he nodded, Chen Xia would buy them all, it would be as easy as going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

What's even more exaggerated is that in the Capital Friendship Store, Chen Xia spent 100,000 yuan in foreign exchange coupons to buy all the paintings of Zhang Daqian, Huang Binhong, Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi and Wu Guanzhong in their stores.

He also solemnly asked the salesperson to issue every invoice he drew and muttered to himself that the invoices at auction in the future would be certificates, otherwise it would be easy to suffer a big loss.

It was also Chen Xia who was ignorant of his skills and did not know famous artists such as Liu Haisu, Pan Tianshou, Wu Changshuo, Zhou Xiang, and Fu Baoshi, but they all missed it.
