Chapter 139

Hearing Xiao Changkun say this, everyone else looked incredulous.

Ma Lan asked in surprise: "You said someone is really willing to spend 300,000 to buy this broken thing? Just this broken thing, I think it can't even be sold for fifty yuan."

Xiao Changkun said proudly: "Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, look at the chat history!"

As he spoke, he opened the WeChat chat history, and a person named Ermao had sent him a voice message before.

Xiao Changkun clicked on the voice message, and Zhang Ermao's voice came out: "Uncle Xiao, your pen holder is a good thing! I see it's an object from the Qing Dynasty. How about this, I'll give you 300,000, you sell it to me!"

Ma Lan said happily: "Oh my god! It's true! Old Xiao, you are amazing, you have grown skills! Bought for five thousand, sold for 300,000. If you get a few more times like this, our family will be rich!"

Xiao Changkun hummed and smiled, asking proudly: "Convinced? I ask you, are you convinced?"

"Convinced, convinced!" Ma Lan herself is a person who sees money and opens her eyes. Money is her own father and grandfather. Hearing that it can really be sold for 300,000, she immediately forgot everything she just said and said with a smile: "My husband has also grown skills! Amazing, amazing! It seems that the most useless person in this family is still Ye Chen!"

Ye Chen's face turned green. What does this have to do with me? At this time, she didn't forget to wrap me in and lose me? Don't you know that the money earned from tossing medicine, that medicine was made by me?

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to ask that Zhang Ermao, which nerve didn't connect? Isn't this clearly sending money to the father-in-law?

Xiao Changkun handed the pen holder to Ye Chen excitedly at this time and said: "Ye Chen, tomorrow you take the pen holder to the antique street to find Zhang Ermao, he will prepare 300,000 in cash for you, you bring it back to me."

Ye Chen nodded hurriedly: "I know, Dad."

Xiao Changkun was satisfied in his heart and said proudly: "You, in the future, mix more in the antique and cultural relic circle with me. Maybe one day you can be like me, practice a pair of fiery eyes, and then we will go out to pick up big leaks together. Why worry about not being able to get rich?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Dad, you are right!" Ye Chen agreed, but thought in his heart: "You don't do anything all day, just listen to those ghost-talking treasure-hunting novels on your phone, obsessed with antiques and cultural relics every day, don't know how much money you lost and how much trouble you caused because of tossing antiques, and you still have the face to ask me to learn from you?"

"Why don't you think about it, at Jiqingtang, you smashed someone's antique vase. If I hadn't helped you repair it, you would have been sued for prison long ago. Can't you remember that?"

However, Ye Chen thought again, this father-in-law of his is actually a funny old urchin, doing everything like it's real, but nothing works. It's useless to talk to him, let him feel good about himself.

Early the next morning, Xiao Changkun called Ye Chen excitedly and said directly: "Ye Chen, you hurry up and take the pen holder to find Zhang Ermao, he has already prepared the cash!"

Ye Chen had to nod and ask: "Dad, aren't you going?"

Xiao Changkun said: "I'm going to the Calligraphy and Painting Association in the morning. They invited me to a meeting and are preparing to let me join the association! After joining the association, there are many good things about internal auctions of calligraphy and painting, and there are many leaks to pick up! Hey, you don't know, there are more opportunities to get rich in the calligraphy and painting field! I usually listen to those audio novels, and some people can buy a real work of Wang Xizhi on the street for fifty yuan!"

Ye Chen thought: "You can just pull the ball down, Wang Xizhi has no real works left in the world at all. You don't even know this, and you still want to join the Calligraphy and Painting Association and think about making money by tossing calligraphy and painting, then you are also blind..."

However, Ye Chen couldn't refute his father-in-law to his face, so he said helplessly: "Well, I'll go to the antique street to find Zhang Ermao now."

Since the father-in-law had explained, Ye Chen prepared to set off for the antique street.

Xiao Churan happened to be resting today, bored, so she said: "Ye Chen, I'll go and see too."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Just right, drive your car."

Xiao Churan said: "You drive, I don't want to drive."

"Okay, I'll drive."

The couple drove to the antique street together.

The weekend antique street is when there are the most people.

Zhang Ermao is an old veteran of the antique street and has his own fixed stall, so Ye Chen found him as soon as he went.

At this time, Zhang Ermao was holding a fake jade pendant, bragging to a couple from out of town, spitting and flying: "I tell you, this piece of jade is a treasure worn by Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. Later, didn't he hang himself on Jingshan in Yan Jing? This jade pendant fell into the hands of Li Zicheng. Later, Li Zicheng was defeated, and his grandson took this jade and escaped. After many twists and turns, it finally fell into my hands..."

"So amazing?" The middle-aged man asked in surprise: "How much does this jade sell for?"

Zhang Ermao smiled and said: "I see you have fate with this jade. How about this, you take it for 188,000. If you go out of this antique street, find any auction house, selling it for 1.8 million is no problem."

The woman curled her lips: "If you go out of the antique street, it will double ten times. Why don't you go directly? Treat us as fools? Really, husband, let's go!"

After speaking, the woman pulled her husband and left.

Zhang Ermao cursed in place: "Damn, when did out-of-town tourists become so smart?"

Ye Chen saw this, walked up and smiled: "I said Zhang Ermao, are you still cheating here?"

"Ouch!" As soon as Zhang Ermao saw Ye Chen, his liver trembled with excitement. He hurriedly greeted him, nodded and bowed: "Master Ye, why do you have time to come here!"

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Churan beside him and exclaimed: "Oh! This must be your wife, Master Ye? Truly a talented man and a beautiful woman!"

Ye Chen said: "Less flattery, I came here this time to find you. I heard you want to buy my father-in-law's pen holder for 300,000?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Ermao nodded repeatedly, excitedly saying: "Your father-in-law is really a divine person! Such a big leak can be picked up. That pen holder is worth at least 300,000 to 400,000. Amazing, amazing!"

Ye Chen pulled Zhang Ermao aside and whispered: "Stop talking nonsense with me here. Anyone in the antique street can see that this broken pen holder is fake. The only one who can't see it is my father-in-law. You spend 300,000 to buy such a thing, you must be losing money? Tell me, why?"

Zhang Ermao hurriedly said: "Master Ye, you have good eyes. To tell you the truth, I also want to honor you. Last time your father-in-law brought two divine medicines and asked me to resell them, earning one or two million. I came back and thought about it more and more, and felt uneasy. You said the medicine made by you, Master Ye, I earned the big head, how inappropriate is that, right?"

As he spoke, Zhang Ermao smiled flatteringly and said: "So, I thought of another way to share some profit with you, Master Ye. I know you treat money like dirt, Master Ye, so I repaid you from your father-in-law."

Ye Chen sneered: "You can, Zhang Ermao, you cheated the divine medicine I gave my father-in-law, gave him hundreds of thousands, you earned millions, and you think spending 300,000 to buy his pen holder can redeem your sins?"

Zhang Ermao was so scared that he trembled: "Master Ye, please forgive me! If you are not satisfied, I will return the money to you later! I don't ask for anything else, just to make friends with you!"

Zhang Ermao couldn't afford to offend Ye Chen. He knew that Ye Chen was very powerful now. Many big shots regarded him as a master, and even the metaphysics master from Hong Kong was said to have been destroyed by him, so he only thought about how to please Ye Chen.

Ye Chen glanced at Zhang Ermao and said faintly: "Forget it, I, Ye Chen, am the most reasonable in doing things. My father-in-law didn't know the value of that medicine pill himself and thought he took advantage of you. It's his own fault for suffering a loss."

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Ermao and said: "Let's just forget about this matter. But in the future, in the antique and cultural relic field, I might be able to use you. When the time comes, be smart for me, do you hear?"

Zhang Ermao immediately said excitedly: "Master Ye, don't worry, in the future, I, Zhang Ermao, will be a dog for you, Master Ye. Whatever you tell me to do, I will do!"
