After lunch, my father-in-law Xiao Changkun was already dressed and urged Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, hurry up and get ready. Get in our new car and follow me to the antique street. There is a new official kiln vase from the Tang Dynasty in a store.
, I want to go over and take a look."
Ye Chen couldn't help but persuade: "Dad, are you starting to play with antiques again? Our family doesn't have much money. Isn't buying antiques a bit too extravagant?"
Xiao Changkun has no ability to make money, but he has dreamed of getting rich a lot. He likes to go shopping in antique streets when he has nothing to do, and even in his dreams, he wants to pick something up. However, in the past few years, he has basically been cheated by many people.
It stopped for a while, but unexpectedly, not only did it not stop completely, but it started again.
Seeing that Ye Chen dared to point at him, Xiao Changkun snorted and said, "Stop talking so much nonsense and send me there quickly."
Ye Chen had no choice but to go against it, so he had no choice but to drive his father-in-law to the antique street.
Jinling is a famous historical city, and the Antique Street located outside the scenic spot is relatively well-known in China. It gathers antique dealers and bargain hunters from all over the country.
The local tourism department also followed the trend and spent huge sums of money to renovate the antique street and turn it into an attraction that attracts tourists.
When they arrived at the antique street, Xiao Changkun came to the door of an antique store with familiarity. He explained to the receptionist that he had an appointment, and the receptionist invited the two of them to the VIP room at the back to view the goods.
Ye Chen was about to follow him in, but Xiao Changkun turned around and said, "Don't follow me in. You won't understand if you do. Wait for me at the door of the VIP room!"
Ye Chen had no choice but to nod: "I understand, Dad!"
Xiao Changkun followed the receptionist into the VIP room with his hands behind his back, and Ye Chen sat down in the rest area.
...
A few minutes later, Ye Chen suddenly heard a "bang" sound coming from the VIP room.
Then, Ye Chen saw his father-in-law, Xiao Changkun, running out of the house in a panic.
He was still muttering: "It's over, it's over! It's over now!"
Ye Chen hurriedly walked forward and looked behind his father-in-law, only to see a tall and thin ceramic bottle that had been broken into two pieces on the ground, and there were many small ceramic shards on the ground.
Through the fragments, it can be vaguely seen that what was broken should be a jade pot spring vase from the Tang Dynasty.
He had been in the Ye family since he was a child, and he was well-informed. He could tell at a glance that this bottle was a genuine antique, and it would not be a problem to sell it for millions on the market.
It seems that my father-in-law is in big trouble this time.
In the VIP room, a middle-aged man said with a dark face: "Mr. Xiao, our jade pot and spring vase cost more than five million yuan. Now that you have broken it, you must pay the price!"
This person is Zhou Liangyun, the manager of Jiqingtang.
Xiao Changkun pulled Ye Chen over and said in a panic: "This is my precious son-in-law. Do you know how much money he has? Don't say five million, even fifty million is not a problem! It's up to you two to compensate.
Chat! I have something else to do, so I’m leaving first!”
After saying that, Xiao Changkun pushed Ye Chen inside, turned around and ran out.
Ye Chen was confused. This father-in-law was so shameless. He was making it clear that he was going to take the blame!
Zhou Liangyun looked at Ye Chen and asked coldly: "Sir, the total amount is 5.38 million. Do you want to pay by credit card or transfer?"
Ye Chen spread his hands: "I have no money."
It's not that he couldn't afford to pay, he just wanted to teach his father-in-law a lesson so that he wouldn't have to come to the antique street every day.
"No money?" Zhou Liangyun gritted his teeth and said, "You smashed our Ji Qingtang's things. Do you think you can get away with just saying you have no money?"
Ye Chen said helplessly: "I didn't want to hide, but I really have no money. Besides, I didn't smash your bottle. Why do you want me to pay for it?"
Zhou Liang was in a hurry: "Isn't that your father-in-law?"
Ye Chen nodded: "You also said that it was my father-in-law, not me. Whoever broke it should you ask to compensate for it. This is called an injustice and a debtor, and no harm to the family. Don't you understand this principle?"
Zhou Liangyun was annoyed for a while, but thinking about it, what Ye Chen said made sense.
If I ask him to compensate without any reason and if word spreads, Ji Qingtang's brand name will be ruined.
So he hurriedly blurted out to the people around him: "You guys, hurry up and catch that old guy!"
Ye Chen watched them hurriedly chasing after his father-in-law, and laughed without saying a word.
In fact, he could just swipe his card and lose the money, but in that case, wouldn't he be advantageous to his shameless father-in-law?
Instead of doing this, it's better to let this old guy suffer a little.
Otherwise, if something like this happens again in the future, he will trick himself.
Everyone in Ji Qingtang went out to arrest Ye Chen's father-in-law. Ye Chen had nothing to do, so he looked at the bottle broken in half on the ground.
The bottle is about half a meter high and has now been broken into two halves and a pile of fragments. It is really a pity to look at it.
However, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something hidden at the bottom of the lower half of the bottle.
He hurriedly reached in and took out a small wooden box!
Unexpectedly, there is such a mystery in this bottle!
The Yuhuchun bottle has a small mouth but a large mouth. The wooden box is obviously two or three times larger than the mouth of the bottle. It seems that this is not stuffed in later, but when the bottle is made, the wooden box is directly removed.
The box is made into it!
It seems that this wooden box should also be left from the Tang Dynasty!
He took the wooden box in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then used some force to open the wooden box with a snap.
As the wooden box opened, an extremely fragrant fragrance suddenly came out. Ye Chen took a breath and felt refreshed.
If you look carefully, you will find an ancient book no bigger than a palm lying inside the wooden box!
Ye Chen picked up this very compact ancient book and saw the four ancient seal characters "Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures" written on the title page.
"The name is a bit interesting, I don't know what it records." Ye Chen opened the book and looked back.
The first chapter is "Medical Skills", which records a large number of cases and treatment methods.
Ye Chen frowned slightly. He had also been exposed to Chinese medicine and knew some basic theories of Chinese medicine, but the content recorded in this book was obviously much better than the methods used in today's Chinese medicine community.
Some diagnosis and treatment methods are even unheard of. Even at the end of the medical chapter, Ye Chen saw alchemy and the effects of some elixirs, which were simply beyond the real world.
Ye Chen became interested, sat on the ground, and kept turning.
Unexpectedly, this "Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scripture" also contains the content of Feng Shui divination, as well as various miraculous methods such as treasure identification and restoration. In addition, there are many other strange and weird things.
Ye Chen read for a long time, feeling that every word in the book was drilling into his mind, and his heart was like boiling water.
