I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Ye Ming knows very well that the reason they enjoy this reputation is because this reputation has a positive impact on antique protection work.

Therefore, he readily accepted the fame he gained in the field of antiques.

Just as the three were preparing to further their discussion, a new visitor walked in at the gate of the courtyard.

"Brother Guan, Mr. Hou, you are here too!" Uncle Liu brought Su Meng to Uncle Guan's house with a bottle of wine in his hand.

Although he saw Ye Ming, he obviously did not take him seriously. He thought that Ye Ming's friendship with Uncle Guan was only because of Lou Xiao'e and was not important.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Uncle Guan responded politely to Uncle Liu who greeted him with a smile.

"This is what happened. I recently bought some antiques and I wanted to ask you to help me take a look at them." Uncle Liu motioned Su Meng to bring the box forward.

Uncle Guan and Ye Ming exchanged glances, and they both understood each other tacitly that these antiques must have been purchased from Li Huaide, but neither of them pointed this out.

"If you want to appraise antiques, why don't you just go and get them appraised?" When Hou Polan saw that Uncle Liu brought antiques, he immediately became interested.

"There are too many people coming to appraise the items. It's really inconvenient. I have to trouble you." Seeing Hou Laolang speaking, Uncle Liu rubbed his hands and opened the box.

Ye Ming on the side remained silent and didn't say much.

There are seven or eight pieces of porcelain in the box, such as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty white glaze taotie pattern wash-mouth vase, the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty blue and white Shoushan Fuhai pattern flower-mouth vase, and the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty blue and white dragon and phoenix pattern bowl.

Ye Ming just glanced at the porcelain when it was placed on the table, but did not touch it with his own hands.

After a while, Hou Paolian put down the last piece of porcelain and shook his head slightly.

"Is there any problem with these porcelains?" Su Meng felt a little nervous when she saw that Hou Pao did not seem satisfied after appraising them.

The Broken Marquis did not directly point out the problem, but asked a question in return: "Since you are an antique collector, let me test you. Jingdezhen porcelain is famous all over the world. Do you know how many kinds of blue pigments have been used in the past dynasties?"

"Please give me some advice, Mr. Hou!" This question stumped Uncle Liu and Su Meng. Uncle Liu had no choice but to bow his head and ask for advice. After all, it was Su Meng who was offended this time.

"Since the Yuan Dynasty, the blue and white materials used in Jingdezhen have been divided into six main types according to the order of the times: Sumali blue, Shizi blue, Pingdeng blue, Huiqing, Zheliao and Zhuming blue." Polan Hou said, "I am not showing off my knowledge, but reminding you not to get involved easily if you don't understand."

All the antiques on the table were fakes. I don't know how much the other party spent on them, but the money was undoubtedly wasted.

"How is it possible that there isn't a single authentic item? Didn't they say that the items at the Foley Auction House are a mix of authentic and fake?" Su Meng understood what Marquis Bolan meant and found it hard to accept the result.

"Han Chunming must have seen these antiques before. As for why this happened, you should think about it carefully!" Uncle Guan directly revealed the truth. He knew that Han Chunming had already given Su Meng a hint.

Uncle Liu naturally knew that Han Chunming had once looked for Su Meng, and at that time they mistakenly thought that Han Chunming was jealous.

Hearing Uncle Guan mention this matter at this moment, I felt mixed emotions.

Su Meng opened her mouth, but no words came out.

She didn't expect Han Chunming would tell Uncle Guan about this. Now she came here for the appraisal and lost face.

"Thank you, Mr. Guan and Mr. Hou. We'll take our leave first!" Since they knew the antiques were fake, their goal was achieved.

Uncle Liu put the antique back into the box with a heavy heart. He felt bad about smashing the fake that he had spent millions to buy, but it was an eyesore to keep it at home.

"Uncle, what should we do now?" Su Meng found it hard to accept that these things were fakes. She was also worried that Han Chunming might learn from Uncle Guan that she was here to appraise antiques.

"Let's go find Cheng Jianjun first, and then go find Li Huaide to see if we can get the money back." Uncle Liu said helplessly. Although he didn't hold out much hope, he still had to give it a try.

"Oh, uncle, look, aren't these Uncle Guan's son and daughter-in-law?" Su Meng suddenly noticed two other people walking into the yard.

"First of all, go find Cheng Jianjun!"

Uncle Liu was too busy taking care of himself to delve into other people's affairs.

"Dad, we came all the way to see you!"

Uncle Guan had just filled a glass of wine when he heard Mother Guan's call.

There was a barely perceptible hint of displeasure between his brows.

When looking at Ye Ming again, Uncle Guan thought to himself that the last time Ye Ming asked him for help, he had a premonition that this scene would happen today. This was undoubtedly a coincidence that came at the right time.

"Dad, don't you love antiques? We bought an antique especially for you!"

Then, Guan's father walked forward and placed the brocade box in his hand on the table.

"I'm determined!"

No matter who sends the antiques, in the eyes of Polan Hou, giving antiques is a sign of sincerity.

He opened the brocade box and took out the sky blue glaze hexagonal vase from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. After just a quick look, he looked at Uncle Guan with embarrassment.

"Dad, I bought this from Foley's Auction House. How could it be fake?"

Guan's mother pretended to be unaware and asked.

However, how could the tricks performed by the two of them be hidden from these three wise men?

Once the Sijiu City Daily was published, the news that half of the antiques sold by the Foley Auction House were fakes spread throughout the city, and even ordinary people knew about it.

What exactly was this couple planning? Perhaps they knew it was a fake but still sent it to show their affection?

“No matter whether the bottle is real or not, this gift is worth keeping!”

At this moment, Ye Ming interrupted at the right time, causing Uncle Guan to glance at him in surprise.

"Ye Ming is right!"

Although he didn't understand what was going on, Hou Paolan still went along with the conversation.

"Then leave it here!"

Uncle Guan had a cold expression on his face, but he finally agreed.

"Since it was bought from the Foley Auction House, there should be an appraisal certificate, which should also be placed here."

Ye Ming mentioned this matter seemingly casually.

"Without a certificate of authenticity, who knows where it was purchased from?"

The Tattered Marquis added in agreement.

"How could it be gone? I clearly bought it at an auction house. Here is the appraisal certificate and the auction receipt!"

When Guan's mother heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little angry. She took out the appraisal certificate and receipt from her bag and placed them on the table.

“It was actually bought at Foley Auction House!”

Hou Paolan picked up the receipt and looked surprised.

"Dad, were you there yesterday? I didn't even see you!"

Guan's mother asked with pretended concern.

"I went over and took a look."

After taking the antiques from the two men, Uncle Guan finally responded with a few words.

"Dad, do you really have 20 million yuan?"

There was anticipation in Guan's father's eyes.

"Since you knew that Foley Auction House had sold fakes, why did you send a fake item to me?"

Ye Ming took the opportunity to ask questions, leaving Guan's father and mother speechless for a moment.

"Dad, we have something else to do. The antique has been delivered to you. We will take our leave now!"
