Zhou Huimei was very familiar with the Yicheng Antique Market. With her leading the way, they quickly arrived at Baogu Zhai.

Judging from the size of this store, it should indeed be one of the largest antique shops in this antique market. The store is not small, and the decoration is always beautiful. There are several rows of antique shelves in the store. Binabao

There are more residents in the capital.

At this time, there were still many customers in the store, and the boss and several clerks were greeting them.

But when Chen Jing and others walked into the store, the boss, who looked to be in his fifties and slightly bald, immediately brightened up and came straight to greet them.

"Ms. Zhou, welcome, you haven't been here for a while." The bald boss greeted Zhou Huimei with a smile on his face.

When Zhou Huimei saw the bald boss leaving other customers to come to welcome her, she couldn't help but feel a little complacent on her face, thinking that this was her own honor.

Chen Jing next to him couldn't help but smile flashing in his eyes. The smile on the bald boss's face was obviously that he saw the fat sheep.

It is estimated that the future mother-in-law sent a lot of money to Bao Gu Zhai.

To be honest, customers like Zhou Huimei who are interested in collecting, have good financial conditions, and are not very knowledgeable are the most popular ones among all antique dealers.

"Boss Sun, do you have any good antiques recently?" Zhou Huimei nodded and asked instead.

Boss Sun immediately responded: "Yes, I just got a very good piece of porcelain two days ago. It was from the Chunhua period of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is in very good condition and has high collection value."

When she heard that it was an antique from the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhou Huimei immediately became interested: "Yeah, take it out and let me take a look."

"Okay, Ms. Zhou, please wait a moment." Boss Sun responded with a smile on his face, turned around and quickly went to get the porcelain.

Kong Xue walked to Zhou Huimei and said, "Mom, didn't you tell me to let Xiao Chen choose for you? You don't know how to appraise."

"I just want to take a look. The porcelain from the Northern Song Dynasty is many years old. It would be nice to take a look." Zhou Huimei said this with a look of expectation and happiness on her face.

This is a characteristic that people who like to collect may have, and have a unique love for things with a long history.

Kong Xue was a little helpless when she heard this. When she was about to say something, Chen Jing said from the side: "Sister Xue, let Auntie take a look first. It just so happens that I also want to see the porcelain from the Chunhua period of the Northern Song Dynasty."

When talking about the Chunhua period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Chen Jingjunlang had a strange look on his face.

"Look, Chen Jing also wants to see it. After all, people from the antique shop can understand my mood. You can't understand it, and neither can your father." Zhou Huimei nodded and said this.

"Yes, yes, we can't understand it. You and Xiao Chen can understand it best." Kong Xue pretended to be helpless as she said it, but in fact, she showed happiness in her beautiful eyes.

The reason is simple. What Zhou Huimei said just now seems to be a bit like a mother-in-law's attitude towards her son-in-law.

Although this may just be what Zhou Huimei said to refute her, it is always a good start.

Soon, Boss Sun walked out with a small protective box in his arms, greeted several people to the counter, placed the protective box on it, and then opened it carefully.

But I saw a porcelain bowl placed squarely in the middle of the box. The shape of the bowl looked dignified and majestic. It was covered with white glaze, which gave it a somewhat fresh and elegant look. Other than that, it didn't have any patterns.

This is a quite simple white glazed porcelain bowl.

Boss Sun also introduced: "Ms. Zhou, do you know whose reign name Chunhua of the Northern Song Dynasty is? That is the younger brother of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the second emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi."

"This Song Taizong was amazing. He destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty and basically completed the unification of the country at that time. He was a very powerful emperor with great talents and strategies."

"To put it into perspective, there is nearly a thousand years of history between the Chunhua period and the present."

Boss Sun was talking eloquently, and Zhou Huimei listened attentively.

But Chen Jing next to him shook his head the more he listened, because he had seen the trick of hugging the boss of Guzhai, and he was basically using Zhou Huimei as a mallet to fool him.

Is this how he introduced antiques?

The characteristics of the object itself are not mentioned at all. It is just talking about history and emphasizing its age.

As I said before, most people’s perception of the value of antiques is based on how old they are. They subconsciously think that the older the antiques are, the more valuable they are.

Antique professionals who try to deceive people who don't know the art will often grasp this point and constantly emphasize to you how old it is, how rare it is to preserve it to this day, etc.

Although Kong Xue, who was standing next to Chen Jing, couldn't explain the plot clearly, she was aware of some problems and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Chen, that porcelain must not be genuine, right?"

Chen Jingding nodded: "Of course not."

From Boss Sun's introduction, he could tell without even looking at it. Besides, the porcelain bowl was indeed 'fake at first sight'.

Here, Zhou Huimei was a little moved by what Boss Sun said. She was thinking that this antique from the Northern Song Dynasty, which is almost a thousand years old, is indeed rare and has great collection value.

"Boss Sun, how do you sell this porcelain bowl?" Zhou Huimei couldn't help but ask.

Boss Sun immediately had a smile on his face: "Ms. Zhou, you are also an old customer of our Baogu Zhai. Let me give you a sincere price, 80,000 yuan. This number is also auspicious."

Kong Xuexiu frowned slightly and said, "Mom, didn't you say you were just looking at it? Why did you buy it again?"

Zhou Huimei responded: "I think this porcelain bowl is pretty good. It was from the Chunhua period of the Northern Song Dynasty." After a pause, she added: "Don't worry, Xue'er, this will be considered my own and I won't let Chen Jing pay for it.

"

She also felt that 80,000 yuan of antiques was a bit too expensive to give to Chen Jing.

However, Zhou Huimei still wanted to pay for it.

Kong Xue took a deep breath helplessly, looked at her father who was beside her, and said, "Dad, please advise mom not to buy it."

"If I could persuade him, why would I wait until now?" Kong Wenli felt helpless about this matter.

Zhou Huimei basically listens to him on everything in life. Her only hobby is collecting antiques, and she usually uses her own private money saved. There is no way Kong Wenli can stop his wife from this hobby.

However, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Honey, 80,000 is a bit expensive."

Before Zhou Huimei said anything, Boss Sun said first: "Eighty thousand is not expensive. Sir, this is porcelain from the Chunhua period of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has a very high collection value. If you collect it for a few years, the value may be

It can be worth hundreds of thousands, which is much higher than the return rate of many financial products."

"That's right." Zhou Huimei nodded in agreement, and looked at Chen Jing and said, "You all don't understand, but Chen Jing must understand that this antique is also an investment, right?"

When Chen Jing heard this, he thought to himself that it was indeed right to come to Baogu Zhai. It would really give him a chance to improve his future mother-in-law's favorability.

Immediately, he responded: "Auntie is right, antiques can indeed be said to be an investment, and the returns are expected to be good."

When Boss Sun heard what he said, the smile on his face became even brighter, but Chen Jing's next words made his smile pause slightly.
