Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

Yuan Ni took a deep breath and was about to retaliate when Gu Chao had already spoken, "Comrade Su and I are not familiar with each other. She is alone in the middle of the night. It is inappropriate for me to send her away. Besides, I have to send Ni'er back." Woolen cloth."

Gong Suzhen was stunned. She didn't expect Gu Chao to say that. She forced a smile and said, "It's already a new society. What's inappropriate?"

Mrs. Gu said something, "Second daughter-in-law, today is Xiao Yuan's first visit. Is it appropriate for you to keep saying this?"

Aren't you and my second child idle?You two send Xiao Su off. It's getting late. You should leave now. Don't neglect Xiao Su. "

Su Xiaomei smiled and said, "Grandma, you are too polite."

Mr. Gu smiled and said, "Second brother, pack up and go."

The two elderly people urged together, and Deputy Director Gu stood up quickly, "Comrade Xiao Su, how did you get here? By bicycle or on foot?"

Su Xiaomei smiled a little awkwardly, "I came here."

The Su family lived in Diplomatic Alley, which was still some way away from here. It was quite intriguing that when they came to do errands after dark, they walked instead of riding a bicycle.

Could it be that Su Xiaomei had been waiting for someone to send her off from the beginning?

The Gu family was very shrewd in seeing through but not telling off. Even though they had doubts in their hearts, everyone still sent Su Xiaomei off with smiles and politeness.

Yuanni sat for a while longer, then stood up and said goodbye, "I'm going to Dr. Hou's house tomorrow. Let's go first."

"Xiao Chao, give Xiao Yuan a gift."

Gu Chao pushed his bicycle and turned around to ask Yuan Ni, "Ride a bike or take a walk for a while?"

"Let's take a walk."

The two of them walked out of the alley and soon walked onto the wide road. The night was as cold as water. Occasionally, people passed by, but they all walked in a hurry with their necks hunched.

The winter in Beijing is dry and cold, and the wind blows through, as if it can freeze people's bones.

"We're going back soon. Is there anything else you want to buy? Grandpa has been discharged from the hospital. I can accompany you." Gu Chao stopped his bicycle, took off the scarf around his neck, and put it around Yuan Ni.

"I have it."

"obedient."

Well, it feels so warm to be cared about.

"Is there a place in the capital to buy and sell antiques? I want to see it."

"I knew you wanted to go see this. I asked specifically about it. The more common ones are Panjiayuan and the Ghost Market. Things are cheap in these two places. Of course, there are also many fakes. It's mainly a test of your eyesight."

"anything else?"

"The high-end one is called Xiangyuanzhai. It's opened by an overseas Chinese. Everything inside has been authenticated and the prices are not cheap."

Yuanni had also heard of Panjiayuan and Ghost Market, but this was the first time she heard the name Xiangyuanzhai, "Is this Xiangyuanzhai just like an overseas Chinese store?"

"Of course it's different. The Overseas Chinese Store is state-owned and sells antiques in exchange for foreign exchange. Xiangyuan Zhai is privately owned and was only opened last year. It was said to be for cultural exchanges."

"So, it's worth visiting?"

"After I visit Old Doctor Hou tomorrow, I will go with you, how about that?"

Yuanni naturally agreed.

Maybe it was her destiny to go to Xiangyuanzhai. The next day, Yuanni came to Dr. Hou’s house, and Dr. Hou also mentioned this place.

"Do you think Tom is bullying? He didn't get the golden needle from me, so he took the antique to Xiangyuanzhai and set up a gambling game there.

This is simply bullying me and there is no one in China. If I hadn't had poor eyesight, I would have gambled with him. "

Yuanni was surprised, "Is this the same Tom who goes around with fake pendants to deceive people?"

"That's him. Even though he's a foreigner, he knows a lot about our country's history. He talks about antiques very well."

"He set up a bet. Is anyone betting with him?"

"Yes, Mr. Xin from Xisi Hutong bet with him with his family heirloom, but he lost." Old Doctor Hou looked regretful.

If he wins the bet, he will be proud of himself and bring glory to the people of the country. But if Mr. Xin loses the bet, he will inevitably gain the ambition of others.

Gu Chao raised his eyebrows, "After all these years, we are still being bullied by foreigners? Bet with him."

Old Doctor Hou slapped the table and said, "That's good. You two go and I'll bring out the items."

Yuan Ni smiled, she did have good things, but unfortunately they were all stored in Danshan County. This time she came to the capital, she only brought four treasures, and they were all sold.

Gu Chao looked at Yuanni, "Are you interested?"

"Please tell me the rules of gambling, old doctor Hou."

"This bet is so simple. It's just a dry bet. Each of the two people puts out a piece of collection as a lottery ticket, and then determines the age based on their eyesight. Whoever is accurate will win the lottery. The person who is not accurate will naturally lose."

"What if everything is accurate?"

"Then keep betting. Xiangyuanzhai Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers, there are many good things, but there is really nothing to see, so they will come up with something."

"Can I get started?"

"That's a must. As long as you don't move the device, you can look and touch it any way you want."

Now that she can get started, Yuanni is sure of winning. She thought for a while, "Old Doctor Hou, do you know what Tom will use as a lottery ticket?"

"I know. I went to see the bet between him and Fourth Master Xin. What he took out that time was a large blue and white porcelain jar from the Ming Dynasty."

In the Western antique market, the most expensive Oriental antiques are not gold, jade and gemstones, but various precious porcelains, especially fine porcelain produced by official kilns of various dynasties.

Large blue and white porcelain jars from the Ming Dynasty are also popular items in Western auction houses.

Yuan Ni nodded, "This person still has some wealth. My grandma has some collections at home. I'll ask her to borrow one as a lottery."

Dr. Hou immediately shook his head, "No, why are you such a heretic? I'm telling you, take a look at my collection first. If you really don't find anything you like, then go to your grandma, okay?"

Collections comparable to large blue and white porcelain jars from the Ming Dynasty can also be sold for more than five figures in China.

Yuanni knows her ability and she will never lose, but Dr. Hou doesn't know that.

Besides, although Yuanni has a golden finger, there must be something unexpected when it comes to gambling. What if she makes a mistake?Wouldn’t it be that the collection of old Dr. Hou was lost in vain?

Seeing Yuanni smiling and saying nothing, Dr. Hou became anxious, "The most precious thing in my family is the golden needles. You helped me keep the golden needles. Everything else is nothing in my eyes."

Yuan Ni couldn't help laughing, "Okay, let's see what you have first."

Dr. Hou led Yuan Ni and Gu Chao into the study, opened the closet himself, and moved things out one by one.

It has to be said that this old man’s collection is really old and young. It is placed on the ground and takes up half of the room. Yuan Ni looked at it one by one, but her brows became more and more wrinkled.

Although Dr. Hou's collection is large, there are no treasures comparable to the large blue and white jars of the Ming Dynasty. They are all small pieces produced by the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty.

How can I bet against Tom if I can't get a decent jackpot?

Seeing Yuanni's expression, Dr. Hou was a little anxious, "How is it? Isn't there anyone who can stand on the stage?"

Yuanni thought for a while, pointed to a celadon Buddha statue and said, "That's it."

When Dr. Hou saw it, he shook his head like a rattle, "This doesn't work, little friend, you are mistaken. This is a fake."
