155: A Bountiful Harvest (2)

A Bountiful Harvest (2)

Among the small antiques, she selected three snuff bottles and two top-quality inkstands. 1

Of the remainder, Gu Qingyao was more interested in the larger items. She took a long time before selecting two Qing Dynasty enamel porcelain vessels.

They were medium-sized and brightly colored. Their vivid colors were dazzling. It was rare that such items had been preserved!

But what surprised her was a big blue and white porcelain dish from the Yuan dynasty!

It was about sixty centimeters in diameter and well preserved. The pattern was intricate and there were no scratches or chips around the edge. Gu Qingyao's eyes lit up when she saw it.

A blue and white porcelain piece from the Yuan dynasty!

It was the king of antique porcelain items!

In later years, this big platter would easily fetch more than a million yuan at an auction!

Gu Qingyao hugged it to herself with delight.

Chen Jin's mouth twitched when he saw her clutching the big plate with more excitement than she had shown when selecting so many jewels. He said, "Is this a good item? I accepted it because it was well preserved and looked clean and pretty. I got it in exchange for a sweet potato and was thinking of bringing it back to use as a plate. But it's so big that it's not very convenient to use!"

Gu Qingyao: "…"

He had exchanged it for a sweet potato!

He had exchanged it for a sweet potato!

He wanted to use it as a plate, but thought it was too big and inconvenient?

Gu Qingyao wanted to throw her head back and howl. This was a blue and white Yuan porcelain piece. A blue and white Yuan porcelain piece!

The corner of her eyes twitched as she looked at Chen Jin. "This is a treasure, an absolute treasure. If you ever obtain more of these, look for me. I'll take them all!"

Chen Jin nodded in agreement, without hesitating.

His decisiveness surprised Gu Qingyao. "I told you this is a treasure and you're still willing to give it to me?"

Chen Jin rubbed his head and chortled. "Sister-in-law, if you want it, of course I will give it to you! I do business with Elder Brother and also, I don't know much about these things. Gems and precious stones are different. I've seen so many of them, I've grown a little more discerning and can basically identify the good items. But I don't know anything about antiques!

"Perhaps they will be very valuable in the future, but that's in the future. Right now, it's more important to me that I do well."

Unlike Mo Beihan, he did not have a good foundation!

He was not as capable as Mo Beihan. He was a nobody who depended on the times to make a few secret deals and had met some important people. That was how he had attained some status and connections.

Although many fine items passed through his hands, he firmly believed that anything that was valuable a few thousands of years ago would still be valuable in the future. But he knew how to let some go in order to obtain other things.

Antiques were not his strong suit. They were not much use to him even if he kept them. He did not know when times would improve. He had to ensure that he currently did well in order to retain his grasp on these things.

He had hidden many precious stones and gems. If these dark times really passed, all he had would be enough to make him a rich man!

In any case, he was prepared to cling on to Mo Beihan for dear life. If his future sister-in-law liked it, then he would give it to her!

But… this future sister-in-law seemed to be even more resourceful!

Gu Qingyao raised her eyebrows in some surprise. She had not expected Chen Jin to say something like that.

No wonder Mo Beihan had taken a fancy to him!

She smiled, "In that case, it's a deal. Next time you have good things like that, save them for me. I will certainly give you plenty of what you want!"

Chen Jin smiled. "Certainly!"

Besides this, Gu Qingyao only took seven of Chen Jin's last 800 yuan. Then she took her things and left the Chen house.
