She moved away a little, disgust on her face, and said jokingly, "Fill your stomach first!"

He muttered to himself, this bitch is really ignorant of the current situation, he must make her admit defeat today. "Look at what this is?" Yang Lin touched Li Hui and deliberately opened the pocket of his cotton coat.

Seeing this, Li Hui looked in the direction he pointed, and her expression changed drastically in an instant.

The poor boy who had been pestering her actually had a lot of RMB in his pocket!

Li Hui's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she changed her expression as fast as a Sichuan face-changing opera, and silently approached Yang Lin. "Brother Yang, where did you get these?"

Yang Lin replied excitedly: "I told you I was rich before, but you didn't want to believe it."

"Now you believe it!" She smiled charmingly, put her hand on his arm, and said coquettishly, "How can I not believe it? Brother Yang is so capable, I am just testing your sincerity."

At this moment, two young men skating on the ice accidentally noticed the scene on the shore. "Brother Hui, look, it looks like Yang Lin!" one of them said. "Ah, it's really him, he's hugging Li Hui?" another person said. "Yes, it's Li Hui, when did they start hooking up?" Brother Hui said in a surprised tone. "That Li Hui, how could she be close to a poor boy?" Brother Hui asked in disbelief. "Brother Hui, isn't Li Hui your girlfriend?" the person next to him questioned.

Brother Hui said disdainfully: "That was outdated and happened several years ago. I have nothing to do with her anymore. That woman is too skinny and has almost no flesh on her. She is so boring."

The person next to him licked his lips and said, "Although Li Hui looks ordinary and is very thin, she still has charm!"

Seeing this, Brother Hui chuckled, "Guo, are you interested in Li Hui?"

The man called Weiguo quickly smiled and said, "No, no, Brother Hui's woman is not someone I can covet."

"She's just an old shoe. If you really like it, take it. But this woman seems to be quite close to Yang Lin." Brother Hui said while smoking.

Weiguo curled his lips: "Just a rotten woman!"

Then, Brother Hui lit a cigarette, shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. I know Li Hui well, and I won't act rashly until the critical moment.

There must be something hidden that we don’t understand.”

"What else could it be? Yang Lin is so poor." Another companion expressed doubt.

Brother Hui threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said, "Let's go over and check it out.

Find a way to get Yang Lin out of the way so I can ask Li Hui what happened. "

"Okay!" The two slid towards Yang Lin and Li Hui and sat down on either side of them. "Brother Hui, Brother Guo." Seeing the two, Yang Lin hurriedly greeted them. "Yang Lin, when are you going to pay back the two dollars?" Wei Guo asked with a cold snort. "Brother Guo, it's just two dollars, it's a small matter." Yang Lin said with a smile.

Then, Weiguo put his arm around Yang Lin's shoulders and said, "Come on, I have something to talk to you about." Yang Lin reluctantly removed his arm from Li Hui and followed her into the depths of the woods.

After they all walked away, Brother Hui spoke up: "Li Hui, when did you get involved with Yang Lin?" His expression revealed a bit of seriousness.

Facing Brother Hui's gaze, a trace of panic flashed across Li Hui's face, and then she forced herself to smile calmly: "Brother Hui, what are you talking about? Let's just have a simple chat."

Brother Hui stared at her for a long while, then said seriously: "You damn girl, I thought I didn't know, tell me the truth! Don't force me to be rude to you."

"Brother Hui, I really don't know what you are talking about." Li Hui retorted stubbornly.

At this time, Brother Hui showed a gentle smile on his face: "Xiao Hui, don't you always want to stay by my side? If you tell me the truth about Yang Lin, I will still treat you as my woman."

This made Li Hui's eyes light up. Recalling Brother Hui's power and personal influence, she asked in surprise: "Brother Hui, are you serious?"

At this time, in the house that Yang Lin had just sold, Ye Chuan was in the west wing, looking at the oil painting in the corner in shock.

The painting shows a middle-aged man wearing black clothes and an official hat. Ye Chuan didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he saw a small "Lang" character on the lower right side, he paid attention.

Combining the content and technique of the painting, as well as the fact that the entire painting seemed to flicker in an instant while he was staring at it, the energy points immediately increased by five thousand, and Ye Chuan couldn't help but take a deep breath. "Huh..." he exclaimed secretly.

What kind of oil painting could bring him so much energy in an instant? Moreover, this painting should not be old, only two or three hundred years old at most.

The fact that painting No. 193 can provide such a huge amount of energy can only mean that it is a work of art with profound connotations and is extremely precious.

For just 5000 points, Ye Chuan felt that the 1500 Chinese Yuan he spent was well worth it.

Observing the content of the painting, the word "Lang" in the lower right corner, and the 5000 energy given, he guessed that this should be a work created by the Qing Dynasty painter Lang Shining, specially painted for Emperor Qianlong.

Lang Shining was born in Milan, Italy. He was both a monk and an artist.

He came to China in the late years of Emperor Kangxi's reign as a missionary and became a court painter, and was therefore hailed as one of the ten famous court painters of the Republic of China.

He was talented in many areas, was good at painting and was involved in architectural design.

In addition to depicting horses, flowers, plants and animals, he was also good at incorporating Western artistic techniques into portraits, winning high recognition and appreciation from three generations of emperors: Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong.

Ye Chuan had studied "Half-length Portrait of Emperor Qianlong in Winter Clothes" in school in his previous life. The painting style and colors are very different from traditional Chinese techniques, as if it was taken with a high-definition camera.

The horses in the picture are vivid, the patterns on Emperor Qianlong's clothes are realistically restored, and the painting style best reflects Qianlong's own demeanor, and is considered to be the most realistic.

Lang Shining's paintings are extremely rare in later generations. Although he served as a court painter for decades, less than a hundred of his works have been handed down to this day.

Most of them are treasured in major museums or private collections around the world, but this work is one that Ye Chuan was unable to see in his previous life.

The painting may have been hidden in a private vault, or it may have been lost due to wind erosion. However, the Emperor Qianlong in the portrait has a thin face and slightly frowned eyebrows, which is different from the gentle and elegant impression in film and television dramas. Instead, he looks more like a Confucian scholar with profound knowledge. "Born with divine gifts, with a strange forehead", such praise in the "Records of Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty" must be full of flattery, but we can't feel much from the painting.

It is no wonder that this portrait of Emperor Qianlong painted by a court painter can provide such rich energy points.

Taking advantage of the time when no one was disturbing him, Ye Chuan put the scroll into the system space.

A few years later, after this "Half-length Portrait of Emperor Qianlong in Winter Clothes" was exhibited in his private museum, it attracted widespread attention from the cultural circles and collectors, and caused a shocking response.

An idea suddenly occurred to me: since this oil painting can generate a lot of energy, then the Ming Huanghuali wood armchair and the Qing Dynasty jade inlaid New Year's picture hanging screen should be equally good.

I failed to pay more attention to it at the beginning, so I had to find time to extract it to avoid waste.

After collecting the oil painting, he began to examine the other items in the room.

He is very satisfied with his current acquisitions, including an oil painting of national treasure level, two antique display cabinets, an armchair and a Luohan bed or a canopy bed.

But I haven't examined the porcelain and books on the antique shelf in detail, so I think they are of average value.

There were indeed a lot of sundries in the wing room, mostly small furniture, such as square stools, octagonal tables, coffee tables, etc., as well as some old books.

After a quick read, I saved all of them into the system space.

The dusty old book seemed to have not been opened for years and most likely belonged to the ancestors and grandchildren of the Yang family.

After all the books were put back in place, a mahogany box about five or six decimeters long and thirty to forty centimeters high appeared.

Ye Chuan's heart was lifted, and he moved the heavy mahogany box to the Eight Immortals Table. The box was not locked, so he gently opened it, and a box full of snuff bottles instantly appeared in front of him, with at least 40 of them. "Oh my God!" Ye Chuan exclaimed.

The box is filled with a wide variety of materials and colors, which are complex and diverse.

Although the one on the top is made of ordinary glass, it is a well-painted snuff bottle of great style. It is about five centimeters high and has a horse painted on it. It was painted by Zhou Leyuan, one of the four famous artists of painted snuff bottles in Beijing.

The horse painted inside has both good shape and spirit, and is matched with a brightly colored coral cap.

Even more eye-catching are the dozen or so painted glass snuff bottles in the box, most of which are works by four great masters. The fine craftsmanship makes the depictions of insects, landscapes and figures vivid and lifelike.

At this time, Ye Chuan picked up a jadeite snuff bottle, which still had a bright red luster. "This is the real chicken blood stone relief snuff bottle!" Ye Chuan exclaimed.

This snuff bottle has a unique shape, uses relief carving techniques, and is ingeniously matched with a tourmaline bottom cover.

In terms of material value alone, this treasure is already worth a lot of money.

Ye Chuan did not know the sources of these various types of snuff bottles, but he could not help but feel in awe of the rich fortune accumulated by Yang Lin's ancestors. It must have taken many generations of accumulation to have such a lineup.

What he didn't know was that the ancestors of Yang Lin's family had been favorite concubines of Qing Dynasty officials, and these snuff bottles included some of the treasures from the palace, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why such a rich family lived in such a simple house.

Every time he saw a treasure, Ye Chuan's heartstrings were touched a little more.

There were also several snuff bottles made of jade and agate placed in front of him.

The most shocking thing is the set of eight ceramic snuff bottles at the bottom of the box - a set of Three Kingdoms snuff bottles, which is truly a rare treasure in the field of snuff bottle collection.

The bottom of each snuff bottle was inscribed with "Made in the Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty". At first glance, Ye Chuan believed that they must have come from the palace.

Restraining his excitement, Ye Chuan stored the entire wooden box into the system space before walking out of the room.

Every Sunday is the day when the Ye family and the Tong family make an appointment to meet.

What Ye Chuan didn't expect was that the person who followed the Tong family in was Tong Yao's grandfather. "Grandpa?" Ye Chuan was shocked when he saw Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang smiled and said, "I came to see your house. Your grandmother didn't come because she had something else to do."
