Among the small antiques, she selected three snuff bottles and two top-quality inkstands.
Of the remainder, Gu Qingyao was more interested in the larger items. She took a long ti before selecting two Qing Dynasty enal porcelain vessels.
They were dium-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 centiters in diater 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 dollars 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 excitent 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 . I’ll take them all!”
Chen Jin nodded in agreent, without hesitating.
His decisiveness surprised Gu Qingyao. “I told you this is a treasure and you’re still willing to give it to ?”
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 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 tis to make a few secret deals and had t so important people. That was how he had attained so 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 so 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 tis 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 tis 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 seed to be even more resourceful!
Gu Qingyao raised her eyebrows in so surprise. She had not expected Chen Jin to say sothing like that.
No wonder Mo Beihan had taken a fancy to him!
She smiled, “In that case, it’s a deal. Next ti you have good things like that, save them for . 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 eight hundred dollars. Then she took her things and left the Chen house.
