Chapter 52: Qiankun Zhu
Li Yu didn't give Yang Chen a chance to explain, and hung up the phone directly.
"Your sister asked me to go back to work, and you will check out by yourself later."
Yang Chen turned around and was about to go out, but Li Ran grabbed him.
"Don't run, you're responsible for me!"
"What is the responsibility?"
Yang Chen wanted to cry without tears, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't have that you last night, how can you make me responsible!" ”
"Phew, you're trying to lie to me."
Li Ran's face turned crimson, and he hurriedly said, "You don't have that me, why are the clothes on my body different?" ”
"That's what I spent five hundred ......"
Ding dong......
At this time, the doorbell was ringed, Yang Chen walked over to open the door, and saw that it was an aunt who was engaged in cleaning, and he was overjoyed, and dragged the aunt into the room.
"Eldest sister, you're just in time."
Yang Chen pointed at Li Ran and said to the cleaning aunt: "Tell her quickly, you helped her change her clothes last night, I really didn't do anything to her!" ”
Aunt Cleaning easily earned 500 yuan last night for helping Li Ran change clothes, and she still has a good impression of Yang Chen and is full of praise.
"Girl, this young man is really a good man!"
"I've been working in the hotel for so long, and I've seen so many girls like you were so drunk last night, which one wasn't devastated the next morning."
"This young man was such a gentleman last night, you didn't touch you when you were soaked, and asked me to help you change your clothes. Also, the clothes you have on you are also the ones he traveled several streets to buy last night. ”
After listening to this, Li Ran said in disbelief: "You really helped me change my clothes last night, and he didn't touch me?" ”
Yang Chen was angry and funny: "It seems that you want to do something to you!" ”
"No...... That's not what it means. ”
Li Ran waved his hand again and again, hugged his head again and said, "What happened last night, why don't I remember it at all?" ”
"It's a long story...... No, your sister urged me to go back to the company and tell you later. ”
"No way!"
Li Ran dragged Yang Chen again: "Now you can explain it to me clearly." ”
"Said on the road...... We said on the road that it won't work, your sister is really in a hurry! ”
"That'...... Okay, too. ”
……
In the taxi, Yang Chen told him about last night's events.
"I ...... Drugged! ”
"Not really."
Yang Chen said aggrievedly: "If I hadn't cooled you down with cold water last night, wouldn't ...... Anyway, if it weren't for me, you would have wanted to cry without tears now, and you still suspect the life-saving benefactor, which really breaks my heart! ”
"Right...... I'm sorry I misunderstood you......"
Li Ran was about to apologize, and suddenly realized something.
"That's not right...... No, my sister said you...... Your IQ is not very good, how do you know that you can cool down with ice water......"
"Also, you're talking to me right now, you're a normal person."
"Oh...... You're playing stupid! ”
"Say, what is the purpose of you pretending to be stupid by my sister's side?"
Facing Li Ran's questioning, Yang Chen was stunned for a while, he pretended to be stupid for so long, and finally let this little girl find out.
"But it's nothing, I used to pretend to be stupid mainly because I was afraid that the scar-faced crow would know that I took the Qiankun Bead and affected my parents."
"Now that the crows have known, there is no need to continue to pretend to be stupid, anyway, sooner or later it will be discovered by Mr. Li, so it is better to get vaccinated now."
After making up his mind, Yang Chen said: "My brain was really bad in the past, but recently it has gradually returned to normal. ”
"Really?"
"I can swear that it is, and I have absolutely no ill will towards your sister. If I lie, let me ...... Died in a car accident when you went out! ”
Li Ran saw that Yang Chen's eyes were full of sincerity, and he was such a righteous gentleman last night, he already believed eight points in his heart.
However, the taxi driver turned around coldly, and a sentence almost broke her defense.
"Young man, you're in my car now, you'd better not make this kind of poisonous oath, it will kill me!"
“……”
Yang Chen gritted his teeth in anger.
Flutter!
Seeing his embarrassment, Li Ran suddenly laughed.
"Okay, I'll trust you for now."
……
Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the auction house.
Li Yu had already been waiting here, but when he saw Li Ran and Yang Chen talking and laughing together, he suddenly felt like he had been pricked by a needle in his heart: "They ...... Really together? ”
"Sister!"
"Mr. Li!"
The shouts of the two of them brought her to her senses.
"Xiao Ran, you go in first, I have something to say to Yang Chen."
"Oh."
Li Ran saw that the old lady's face was handsome, but she didn't ask too much, and walked into the auction house obediently.
"Yang Chen, what did you do to Xiao Ran last night?"
"We didn't do anything, we were innocent."
"Really?"
"Pearls aren't that real!"
Seeing that Li Yu still had doubts on his face, Yang Chen hurriedly added, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Xiao Ran...... Also, if I really do something to her, how can she come back with me in a car. ”
That's true.
Li Yu had already believed in eight points, and the whole person seemed to be a little more relaxed, and let out a long breath: "That's okay, it's okay." The customer has been waiting for a long time, so let's get in. ”
"Hmm."
When Yang Chen walked past Li Yu, he saw her tired face, and said worriedly: "Mr. Li, you look so tired, why don't you go home and rest for a while, I can just watch the company." ”
"I didn't ...... Nothing, just upset......"
Huh!
Li Yu sighed again, as if he had suddenly found an outlet, and spit out what was squeezing his heart:
"You also know about me and Wu Kuo, and I'll tell you directly...... My mom is very stubborn......"
"My mother will definitely do whatever it takes to bring down the company and force me to go home and marry Wu Kuo."
"But you know, I have no problem running the company, and I am not proficient in things in Jianbao, so I was deceived by Zhang Chi for so long before."
"I don't want to give in, I don't want to sell my feelings, I don't want the company to go out of business...... However, my abilities are really limited, and all this makes me feel haggard......"
Looking at Li Yu like this, Yang Chen suddenly felt heartache: "It's really pitiful that she has to bear so much pressure in her small body!" ”
Thinking of this, Yang Chen no longer disregarded disguising himself, and hugged Li Yu impulsively.
"Yang Chen, you ......"
Li Yu was startled at first, and subconsciously wanted to break free, but found that Yang Chen was on the alert, and said in her ear: "Mr. Li, I am absolutely loyal to you, and I will never lie to you like Zhang Chi, even if the whole world is against you, I will stand together, I will definitely help you do a good job in the auction house, if you don't want to, no one can force you!" ”
Li Yu looks stronger than anyone else on the surface, but she is a woman after all, and she will be soft and fragile in her heart when she wants to find someone to rely on.
Yang Chen's embrace made her seem to have found a strong support all of a sudden, and she only felt that in Yang Chen's arms, she no longer had to face the wind and rain alone.
"You...... That's nice! ”
Li Yu was about to hug Yang Chen, but he gently pushed himself away, and said guiltily: "Mr. Li, I ...... I was just impulsive and didn't ...... Didn't scare you, did you? ”
"I didn't ...... There is no ......"
"That'...... I'm going to greet the guests first. ”
"Hmm."
Looking at the back of Yang Chen hurriedly walking into the auction house, Li Yu suffered for a while, and his mind unconsciously flooded with his powerful arms and broad chest that had just been in Yang Chen's arms......
Suddenly there was a burst of heat, and his face was flushed, he didn't expect Yang Chen to speak so clearly just now, not at all like a person whose mind was only seven years old.
……
When Yang Chen walked into the auction house, he saw an old man dressed in rustic clothes and dark skin, looking like a peasant, sitting on the edge of the counter, and an object wrapped in a red envelope was placed next to him.
Apprentice Liu Yang saw Yang Chen come in and immediately greeted him.
"The shopkeeper is the one who wants to sell things."
"What is it?"
"A sweet white glazed lid jar, but ...... It looks like the Yongle Year of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a bit like the ...... of the Qing Dynasty"
"Understood, go cut a cup of Pu'er tea."
"Yes."
Liu Yang quickly cut a cup of hot tea, Yang Chen personally took the tea over, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting." The tea is dry, and you will be given a new cup. ”
"Thanks... Thank you! ”
The old man stood up a little stiffly and took the tea handed by Yang Chen with both hands.
"I'm the big shopkeeper here-Yang Chen, your old surname?"
"Don't give your surname Hu...... Hu Zongxian. ”
Yang Chen saw that Hu Zongxian gradually let down the guard in his heart, and then said, "Old Hu, can you let me see your things?" ”
"Absolutely."
Hu Zongxian picked up the red envelope package from his feet, opened the red cloth layer by layer, revealing a square arbor wooden box inside, and after opening the wooden box, it was wrapped with white cloth layer by layer of circular utensils, and then after opening it layer by layer, he finally saw the true face, a large round jar with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters, and the glaze color on the surface was as bright as white jade.
Sure enough, it was a sweet white glaze, and I didn't rush back in vain this trip!
"Shopkeeper Yang, this thing has been handed down by my ancestors for several generations, how much is it worth?"
"Okay, let me take a look."
Yang Chen reached out to take off the lid of the jar on it first, and the moment his fingertips touched, a surging breath poured into his body from the can, and the whole person felt like he had been electrocuted.
"This ...... It's a familiar feeling...... Yes, yes, this is how I felt when I absorbed the power in the Qiankun Bead in my sleep! ”
"Is this sweet white glazed jar also a magic weapon?"
"No...... No, the breath inside it is less than 1/100,000 of the Qiankun Pearl...... It's too weak, and the breath just covers the surface of the can. ”
"This should have been in contact with the magic weapon, and the big jar was also contaminated with the breath of some magic weapon."
"Hey, in this way, Hu Zongxian should have a magic weapon in his hand!"
cough, cough......
At this time, a dry cough woke Yang Chen, and Liu Yang whispered in his ear: "Shopkeeper, Hu Lao asked you how much this big jar is worth." ”
"Got it."
Yang Chen pretended to pick up the big jar and studied it carefully, and said with a smile: "Hu Lao, you are a sweet white glazed jar imitated by the Qing Palace during the Tongzhi period of the late Qing Dynasty. ”
Hu Zongxian was overjoyed, his face wrinkled with laughter, and he asked anxiously: "Just tell me, how much is this thing worth?" ”
"A million."
"A million!"
Hu Zongxian was ecstatic, so excited that people who were dozens of years old collapsed and jumped.
"Don't get excited, I have something to ask you."
"Good...... Well, I'm not excited. ”
"Do you have any other antiques in your house?"
"How do you know?"
And so it was.
Yang Chen was even happier than Hu Zongxian in his heart, and said with a smile: "Judging from the shape of this sweet white glaze, it should have been a pair, so there is this question." But I can also tell you that if the other half is also so well preserved, this pair will sell it to us together and give you three million. ”
That's a million more!
Hu Zongxian hurriedly said: "No...... That's right, I still have one such big jar at home, and I'll sell you ...... together"
As he spoke, Hu Zongxian looked around left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Actually, my ancestors have passed down not only this pair of white cans, but also many good things. I see that you are honest in business, and I can sell them all to you! ”
Yang Chen was overjoyed and hurried to report to Li Yu.
"Okay, you have full control over the acquisition, as long as you think it's worth collecting, you can buy it back."
"Yes!"
……
Yang Chen drove the company's Great Wall pickup, drove Hu Zongxian out of Yangcheng, got on the highway and continued all the way to the west, driving for more than two hours and finally coming down at the highway in Luoding City.
After arriving in Luoding City, I drove for half an hour to the county seat below, and then half an hour on the mountain road, and finally came to a village below Baima Town.
"Turn right in front and walk three kilometers ahead to my house."
After a long journey of more than three hours, Yang Chen was physically and mentally exhausted, and when he heard that he had finally arrived at the place, he forced his spirit to increase the accelerator violently.
Soon came to the place, only to find that there were no neighbors on the left and right, only a separate old-fashioned courtyard.
However, Yang Chen didn't think much about it, he just thought that this was the old mansion handed down by Wu Zongxian's ancestors.
followed Wu Zongxian into the courtyard, but saw that the door of the horizontal house in front of him was closed.
"Wait here, I'll open the door."
Wu Zongxian walked to the hall in the middle, took out a bunch of keys and tossed upside down, Yang Chen stood in the middle of the courtyard and looked around, only to see that the surrounding weeds were overgrown and fallen leaves were piled up.
"No, it looks like no one has lived here for a long time, how could he put an antique in a place where no one is there?"
Pitfall!
Yang Chen suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he stepped forward to control Wu Zongxian, who knew that Wu Zongxian, who was drooping all the way, suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in like a leopard.
Bang!
Before Yang Chen could catch up, he had already locked the door all at once.
Worst!
Yang Chen was about to withdraw from the courtyard, and a group of big men with knives and sticks rushed out from behind the corridor, there were more than twenty people in Moyo, and the person at the head was - the old crow!
"It's you!"
Yang Chen was both surprised and reasonable, he didn't have many enemies except the old crow, and no one except him would spend so much energy to lure himself to this place where birds don't hundreds of kilometers away.
"Old fellow, wasn't the lesson from last time enough?"
Yang Chen sneered, looked at the thugs behind the old crow and sneered, "With these scrap materials, you are here to give away people's heads!" ”
Hum!
The old crow took out a black helmet from his backpack and snorted coldly: "You are here today, don't think about leaving alive, and quickly hand over the Qiankun Bead if you suffer a little less!" ”
Magic Weapon!
Yang Chen was unaware of the crow's shouting, but he was suddenly attracted by the helmet in his hand.
Although they were separated by more than ten steps, they still felt a strong aura emanating from the helmet of the Iron Floating Slaughter.
