C230 The Origin of the Pill Furnace
Xiao Chen didn't even look at the shops and stalls along the street. Instead, he walked all the way to the depths of the market.
"Seeking Destiny Pavilion" was the place he was looking for. It was the pill furnace that Gu Changfeng had bought here.
There were two porcelain bottles to welcome customers the moment they entered the shop. The calligraphy and paintings on the walls were arranged in a neat manner. Jade and porcelain pieces were arranged neatly in the display cases.
"Young man, what do you want to choose?"
"I want to buy two pieces of ornaments to go back to my house. Boss, do you have any recommendations?"
Xiao Chen did not know much about the antique industry, but with his perception, it was difficult for ordinary counterfeits to escape his eyes.
"If you want to put them on display, this way, please."
Usually, the ornaments were bottles and jars, but Xiao Chen did not care about them.
Following the boss's recommendation, he chose a Ru Yi in the end and then took out the pill furnace.
"Boss, do you still remember this thing?"
"Hmm?" Seeing the pill furnace, the boss sniffed and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Sorry, I have a lot of things going in and out of here every day. I really don't have any impression of this thing."
"Don't worry, boss. I'm not here to ask you to return the goods." Xiao Chen smiled faintly. "Can you tell me how this thing came about?"
"Little brother, you are making things difficult for me."
"Is it not convenient to say?"
"It's not that it's inconvenient to say. The main thing is that I don't know where this thing came from. Previously, it was a foreign girl who came to sell goods. I only got it because this thing has a strange fragrance. At that time, it cost me more than 10,000 yuan."
Speaking up to this point, the boss couldn't hide the gloominess in his eyes.
"The patterns and craftsmanship on it are very different from the mainstream collectibles. They were put in the store for two years. I've also studied the origin of this thing, but I didn't find anything. No one is willing to buy it, so I can only sell it at a low price. "
"Girl? Do you know where she came from?"
"I didn't ask, but judging from her accent, she should be from Shuzhong. I only met her about ten years ago. That girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, and now I think she's not much different from you. "
The boss was a sensible person. He didn't need Xiao Chen to ask him in detail, and he almost told him everything he knew.
Of course, if it wasn't for Xiao Chen buying a Ruyi first, it would be hard to say whether the boss would cooperate with him.
"Shu Zhong, it's so far away."
Xiao Chen smiled and did not ask any more questions. He put away the Ruyi and thanked the boss before leaving.
The people from the southwest came to Yanjing to sell a pill furnace. What did he think? Why did he feel that this was a little strange?
"Forget it. Next time I come, I'll bring a painter and ask the boss to help me draw a portrait."
After making up his mind, Xiao Chen did not stay in the antique market for long. Anyway, he still had time, so he was not in a hurry to rush back to the hotel.
However, as he strolled around, he found his tail.
It was only then that he ended his walk. He stopped a taxi and rushed towards the hotel.
As soon as he walked into the hotel lobby, he saw Tao Yuxian waiting by the side. His eyes flashed, but he did not greet him.
He only waited until he returned to his room to tidy up before the doorbell rang urgently.
"Xiao Xiao, where did you go? You made me wait for a long time."
"CEO Tao is in such a hurry. Is there something you need from me?"
"It's like this. We've almost confirmed the location. We'll be waiting for you now, Xiao Xiao."
"There's no hurry. I didn't sleep well last night. I'm still a little sleepy. This matter is easy to talk about. It's difficult to do, and there can't be any mishaps. I need to adjust for two days. "
"Two days?"
"Not necessarily. Maybe it will be better today. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe the day after tomorrow. In short, I have to reach my best condition, or else if something goes wrong, it will be bad." Xiao Chen yawned and waved his hand.
He ignored Tao Yuxian and walked into the bedroom. He closed the door behind him.
Tao Yuxian's eyes flashed when he saw the bedroom door suddenly shut. He stood in the living room for a long time before he turned around and left.
Hearing the footsteps that were far away, Xiao Chen slowly walked to the window. Looking at the busy traffic downstairs, he slowly curled his lips.
"I originally took so many materials from you. I didn't have the nerve to kill you. But you think too highly of yourself. You didn't even say a word before asking me to do it. There is no such thing as such a cheap thing in the world. "
Xiao Chen muttered in an indifferent tone. An evil look surged in his eyes. He couldn't let last night's matter pass just like that.
A knock on the door interrupted him. He frowned, then put away his thoughts and turned around.
"I think you haven't eaten yet!" Holding the two pockets, Lingling immediately went in.
She put the things on the table and greeted Xiao Chen.
Then, she opened the bag and took out a large box of chicken claws. She stuffed it into her mouth as if no one else was there.
As a young lady of a rich family, her manner of eating was truly not worthy of praise.
"You're welcome, just treat it as my treat."
"Don't you feel that you're a little too stingy? You can eat this for me in the afternoon!"
"I think this is the best. I've been dreaming about eating this in the past few years."
Lingling did not seem to mind at all. She crossed her legs and used both hands.
If Xiao Chen did not know her family background, he would really suspect that her parents mistreated her and did not feed her for eight hundred years.
"Chicken claws can also be eaten in your own room. Why did you have to come here?"
"I am afraid that you will be lonely."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's face darkened. He took a step forward, closed the box, and pushed the person out.
"You still think I'm not enough? Get lost!"
He had been calling Chu Huaiyu since yesterday, but she had not answered until now.
All of this was caused by this woman.
"Every injustice has its debtor. Although the photo was sent by me, you did it yourself. I can only say that my charm is too great. If you blame me, blame me. You can't control yourself. However, what I said yesterday is also effective now. "
As Lingling spoke, she sent an autumn wave to Xiao Chen.
However, when combined with her greasy mouth, she was no longer as charming as yesterday.
"Get lost!" Xiao Chen really did not want to get entangled with this woman, so he forcefully pushed her out the door.
Lingling reached out her feet to block the door, smiled and said, "Jun Jun told me to tell you about it, so she went back to Shangyu first. Also, I can do it anytime. Don't forget to call me and wait for you! "
After saying that, the woman finally retracted her leg.
With a clang, Xiao Chen's mouth kept twitching. Towards this woman, sometimes he really had the impulse to slap her.
But after being depressed for a while, doubt arose in his heart.
This woman came with Ruan Xiangjun, but now that Ruan Xiangjun left, this woman was still here.
"Speaking of which, why did they come to Yanjing?"
Xiao Chen muttered in a low voice. He did not think too much about it. He took out his phone and took out Chu Huaiyu's number.
"Ding, Ding..." The phone rang a few times before it was forcefully hung up.
"Sigh, this matter seems to be a little too serious."
He sighed helplessly. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed. However, he did not know that the people from the Zheng family had already arrived at the hotel building.
