Chapter 158 The eyes are too poisonous

After looking at everything, Susie picked up the Qianlong pastel gourd bottle.

This bottle has an interesting shape, just like a gourd, with exquisite patterns and elegant colors.

Su Qian quickly made a decision, pointing to the Yuan blue and white jar and pastel gourd bottle and said, "I'll exchange these two, do you think it's okay?"

Professor Zhong hissed, as if he had a toothache, "You little girl, your eyes are too poisonous."

"You're looking at two of my best pieces!"

Su Qian smiled. In terms of value, the Yuan blue and white jars were indeed the highest, but the pastel gourd jars were not necessarily the best. He said this somewhat deliberately.

Professor Zhong didn’t say he would change it, nor did he say he wouldn’t change it. After thinking about it, he asked Susie, “Let me see that there is another box in your bag, which is also an antique. Can you open my eyes?”

Susie was not stingy, she opened the bag and took out the box inside.

She opened the box, and Professor Zhong exclaimed, "Jianzhan!"

"This was also bought at the cultural relics store?"

Susie nodded.

Professor Zhong slapped his thigh suddenly, "Oh, I often run there, why didn't I find this rabbit hair?"

Professor Zhong's face was full of remorse and regret. He hurriedly turned on the light in the room and took a closer look under the lamp.

The lamp under the lamp looks more and more radiant, and the lines on it are as thin as needle points, and they really look like rabbit hairs.

Professor Zhong held it and couldn't put it down, "I saw a Jianzhan twenty years ago, and this is the second one I've seen."

He couldn't help but asked Susie: "Is this okay? I'll add one more piece. There are three pieces of porcelain in total. I'll give you two pieces in exchange for them. Do you think that's okay?"

Susie shook her head, knowing that she would not take action.

This thing is small, easy to carry, and valuable. It's not worth replacing it with anything else.

Professor Zhong really couldn't bear to part with this jianzhan, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Four pieces!"

"There are four pieces in total, two for you!"

Su Qian shook her head, "Professor Zhong, I will not take action against this jianzhan."

Professor Zhong sighed deeply, "Oh, what kind of luck do I have!"

"I went to the cultural relics store three days ago, but I didn't see this Jianzhan at that time!"

When he heard Susie say that this jianzhan only cost fifteen yuan, Professor Zhong wanted to punch the ground.

He didn't have forty-five yuan, but he could still afford fifteen yuan. If he had seen it earlier, this jianzhan would have been his!

He sighed and persuaded himself, "It's enough to have experienced it. There are so many good things in the world, it's impossible to have everything."

He reluctantly returned the jianzhan to Susie, who smiled and wrapped the things as they were and put them into the box.

Professor Zhong looked at the large blue and white porcelain vase with red underglaze. He didn't want to miss it no matter what. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's exchange these two for it."

He touched the blue and white jar and the pastel gourd bottle again and again, as if he was saying goodbye to his beloved lover.

Finally, he wrapped the two things tremblingly and waved his hand, "Take it, take it, alas, my fate with them ends here."

Susie was very funny when she saw Professor Zhong's behavior. She felt that Professor Zhong was like those men who like the new but don't hate the old. Although they like old things, new things are more popular.

When you can't have both, you have to discard the old and keep the new.

Susie happily put the blue and white jar into her travel bag, which just fit in.

But the pastel gourd bottle cannot be put down.

Professor Zhong found a net bag for Su Qian, "Take this to wear."

Susie thought about it and had no other choice, so she tried it and pretended to be suitable.

She thought about it and asked Professor Zhong, "Do you have any books on the appreciation of porcelain and antiques? I would like to borrow a few."

Professor Zhong said: "Books on this subject? As far as I know, there should be no books on this subject in China. At most, there are a few sentences in various books and documents."

Su Qian was a little disappointed and was about to say goodbye when Professor Zhong added: "However, based on my many years of experience, I have written some key points and insights on ancient porcelain appreciation. If you want to read it, I can lend it to you."

Susie said happily: "Really, that's great."

Professor Zhong took her to the front room, rummaged around on the desk and found a stack of manuscript papers, "Here, they are all here."

Su Qian took it and flipped through it, including Sui and Tang porcelain appreciation, Song porcelain appreciation, and Ming and Qing porcelain appreciation.

She smiled at Professor Zhong and said, "Then I'll take it. It may take some time before I return it to you."

Professor Zhong waved his hand, "I just wrote this for fun, and no one read it. It'll be fine if you take your time and read it."

Susie didn't know why, but she felt a bit sad from Professor Zhong's words.

Professor Zhong looked at Su Qian and asked tentatively: "I see that you are very happy to buy antiques. This may not be your first time. There must be a lot of good things at home."

Susie smiled and said, "Not many, just a few pieces. I just started to like collecting these."

Professor Zhong said: "We can communicate more in the future."

"It would be great if there is something good that can open the eyes of an old man like me."

Susie nodded in agreement.

After saying goodbye to Professor Zhong's house, Su Qian walked towards Lin's house with a net bag in one hand and a travel bag in the other.

It was already dinner time when we arrived at Lin's house.

Liuzi heard the knock on the door and went out to open the door. When he saw Su Qian, he exaggeratedly said: "If you don't come back, master will chase me out on the street looking for someone."

Seeing the net bag Su Xi was carrying, the shape of the vase could be roughly seen even if it was wrapped in newspaper. Liu Zi asked: "Bought a bottle?"

"You really like buying these."

Susie put the things away and everyone ate together.

Uncle Lin and Uncle Liao were drinking and having dinner. Susie planned to go back to her room to see her baby, but Liuzi gave her a wink.

She followed Liuzi to the yard, and Liuzi whispered: "I looked at that person today."

Susie was confused, "Who?"

Liuzi said: "That's the man you knocked unconscious with the iron rod. I always thought he was dead, but I was shocked when I saw him today."

Susie finally thought about it, "It would be better if I didn't die."

After listening to Uncle Liao's words that day, she also understood that the cause and effect of life and death were too great, and it was better to leave a way for others to survive unless it was absolutely necessary.

Susie looked at Liuzi, "Did you meet him? Did he find you?"

Liu Zi chuckled and said, "How can I let him notice me if I'm so clever?"

"He was walking down the street wearing a hat. I saw him head-on and ducked behind a tree. He didn't see me."

Susie nodded, "Actually, the risks are quite high for us to do this business."

She followed him out three times, and everything happened twice. This time Liu Zi was even injured.

Liu Zi smiled and said: "This is not bad. After all, our money and gold have been saved."

"When Master and I first started this business, it was much more dangerous than it is now."

The two stood in the yard chatting. After Uncle Liao and Uncle Lin finished drinking, Susie quickly went to clean up and wash the dishes.

Early the next morning, Susie told Uncle Liao and hurried out. She had to buy something to take back.
