As soon as he got out of the car, he waved to Ye Chen: \"Let's go, I'll show you what it means to pick up a bargain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he strode toward the Antique Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen had to follow quickly, looking around as he walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On weekends, there were many more people on the Antique Street than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The antique and jade shops on both sides were very dense, and the stalls set up on weekends were also densely packed, blocking the whole street completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also many vendors who just spread a plastic sheet on the ground, filled with all kinds of antiques and jade, welcoming guests on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen glanced at them casually, and almost didn't see any genuine products. They were all fakes used by black-hearted merchants to deceive laymen and tourists from other places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many tourists who bought fakes were completely kept in the dark, holding the imitations and smiling, thinking they had taken a big advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Changkun stopped, standing in front of a simple stall, his face unable to hide his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw several tourists standing next to the stall, picking antiques. Xiao Changkun was afraid of falling behind, so he hurriedly squeezed into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen glanced at it. This stall was nothing more than a piece of oil paper spread on the ground, filled with a dozen antiques covered in mud, such as blue and white horses, five-emperor copper coins, copper wine cups, blood jade bracelets, yellowed calligraphy and paintings...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The things were dazzling, but Ye Chen just took a casual look and found that they were all fakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner was a thin man with dark skin. He wore a blue coarse cloth garment, his hair was oily and messy, and he looked honest and simple, looking extremely wooden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at this!\" Xiao Changkun excitedly greeted Ye Chen, pointing to a colorful bottle with a big belly and a small mouth: \"This is the wine vessel that goes with my two cups! I'll buy it back and make a set, and the price will double!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen took a look at the wine vessel, weighed it in his hand, and looked up to ask the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss stared with bulging eyes and said stupidly: \"My, my dad said, at least 20,000, not a cent less!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Changkun almost laughed when he heard this, and hurriedly said to Ye Chen: \"This boss doesn't know the goods, let's buy it quickly, so as not to be picked up by others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he hurriedly reached for his wallet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this time, Ye Chen agilely pressed his hand and smiled: \"Dad, this thing is not worth 20,000, let's not buy it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Xiao Changkun was stunned, \"Then... how much do you say it's worth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen stretched out his palm and shook it in front of the boss: \"This number.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"5,000?\" The boss asked with wide eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen shook his head: \"No, it's 50 yuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss stared at Ye Chen for several seconds like he was looking at an alien, and suddenly shouted: \"Do you know the goods? This is an antique left by my grandfather, a genuine treasure. You city people are too bullying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Changkun was also anxious and pulled Ye Chen: \"Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to ruin the business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled, picked up the bottle, turned it over, and flicked the yellow mud on the bottom of the bottle, pointing to a narrow slit, and said: \"Dad, look at what this is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That slit was extremely small. If Ye Chen hadn't pointed it out, ordinary people wouldn't have seen it at all. In the slit, a row of extremely small English letters was exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"madeinchina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Changkun was stunned, his mouth open enough to fit an egg, and he couldn't react for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he came back to his senses, his face flushed red, and he pointed at the boss and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, you scammer!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen held the wine vessel and shook it at the honest boss, saying: \"The manufacturer doesn't dare to blatantly forge antiques, so they deliberately wrote this mark. You are quite smart, knowing to cover it with mud. One sentence, 30 yuan, sell or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss was stunned for a moment, and suddenly the honest look on his face disappeared, and he slapped his forehead and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two bosses, I went out in a hurry today, I took the wrong bottle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Took the wrong one?\" Ye Chen smiled, picked up a snuff bottle covered in mud again, scraped the mud off the mouth of the bottle, shone it against the sun, and said seriously: \"This one didn't take the wrong one, it was produced in Suzhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the snuff bottle, there was a row of transparent small characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Made by Suzhou Handicraft Factory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know how to read, who knows what's written on it.\" The boss saw it was exposed, so he didn't do business anymore, and while smiling, he wrapped up the oil paper cloth and wanted to run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time Xiao Changkun completely came back to his senses, so angry that his seven orifices were smoking. He had been treated like a monkey for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed the boss and roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You scammer, return the money to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What money, I've never seen you.\" The boss struggled hard, and fake copper coins and fake jade horses kept falling from the oil paper cloth he was carrying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jade horse fell to the ground and didn't even break. It seems it was made of hardened plastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't return the money, I'll call the police!\" Xiao Changkun roared with wide eyes, so angry that his lungs were about to explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the two pulling, a gadget suddenly fell from the boss's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as this thing fell, Ye Chen suddenly frowned and stared at the thing on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing was a white pebble the size of a fist, exactly the same as the kind of pebble on the river beach, gray and lusterless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing was different: there were a few words carved on this pebble—Peace and Wealth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The font was crudely made, and it was clear that it was carved by hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of carved stone was everywhere in scenic spots and was not worth any money at all. No wonder the boss didn't put it out just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ye Chen took a step forward and picked up the stone, his blood suddenly boiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, he felt a different kind of aura emanating from this antique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was called an aura, but it was more like a kind of energy, a kind of magnetic field, which exerted a powerful attraction on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen knew that this should be the spiritual energy recorded in the \"Nine Profound Heaven Scripture\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual energy is a mysterious energy that has been lost for a long time. It can not only completely transform a person's physical fitness, but also cultivate and produce many effects that are unimaginable to ordinary people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was overjoyed, weighed the pebble in his hand calmly, and asked: \"Is this thing yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much for this stone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Changkun was also surprised and asked: \"Why are you buying this broken stone! Don't you know that this black-hearted merchant sells all fakes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just a stone, buy one to wash away the bad luck.\" Ye Chen smiled and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss took the opportunity to break free from Xiao Changkun's hand and smiled at Ye Chen: \"Do you really want to buy it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded: \"Really buy it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss was energetic and talked eloquently: \"Brother, you have a really good eye! Don't look at this pebble of mine as unremarkable, but it has an extraordinary origin. This was a paperweight placed on the dragon desk in Emperor Qian's study...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn't have time to listen to his long-winded talk and interrupted impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop talking nonsense with me, get to the point!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss smiled dryly: \"Since you are a connoisseur, then... 20,000!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said disdainfully: \"Are you crazy for money? One price, 300! If you don't sell it, I'll call the police to arrest you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"300?\" The boss sighed and smiled dryly: \"Brother, you are a connoisseur, 300 it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled slightly and pinched the stone in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Changkun was suspicious in his heart, not knowing why he bought such a broken stone. Just as he was about to ask, a dangling voice suddenly came from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo, this stone is not bad, this young master wants it!\" \u003C\u002Fp>",1496,"2026-06-17T16:51:23.531Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ef714e6f5e14286ad4885a8bb24303f1097d0196d65c246e4945406fa69ce219","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-61","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-59",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
