Chapter 1891 Daughter follows mother's path 1
This kind of thing happens everywhere. When the Lu family’s house was ransacked, weren’t they also robbed and kidnapped?
However, Feng Qingxue felt that she didn't have enough money to buy cultural relics from regular channels, so how could she have the spare money and energy to find servants of wealthy families in the past to buy old items? No matter how much ordinary people cherished them, they were not necessarily as well preserved as cultural relic shops, and they were easy to cause trouble. It must be very difficult to get a large number of old items away from the old owners.
Even if Zhou Mingyu didn't say it, Feng Qingxue could guess that the couple might be her servants, and the things in their hands were very likely to have once belonged to their family.
"I don't have time." Feng Qingxue replied bluntly, unmoved. "If I, a foreigner, come to buy old items, it will definitely arouse other people's suspicion, and then cause a series of troubles. Besides, people may not sell them to me, so what's the point? I might as well go directly to the antique shop."
Zhou Mingyu sighed, "You are really smart and cautious. I don't have money. If I had money, I would have found a way to get the things back from them."
Feng Qingxue smiled but said nothing, indicating that she was half-believing and half-doubting what she said.
Yes, many wealthy families such as capitalists and landlords were wiped out after their properties were raided, but most of them were old and smart people who had lived through the war years, and they must have hidden things somewhere, it is impossible that they were left with nothing.
Zhou Mingyu said this, maybe it was inconvenient to exchange it for money so he had no money.

However, the acquisition was in the 1960s, and there is still a piece of paper stuck to the bottom of the plate with "1966" written on it.
Zhou Mingyu's eyes lit up, "Are you willing to lend me money?"
"I can, but I can't borrow much. I'm just borrowing money to buy things." She had stated in the loan note that the 10,000 yuan must be repaid within three years, so the pressure is huge.
"Comrade Zhou, if you really want to buy it back, I can lend you some money and you can find someone to buy it yourself. Can't you give me an estimate of how much it will cost? I have to go back quickly because my child is waiting for me at the hotel!"
In the early years, the jewelry that Feng Qingxue exchanged for food on the black market was enough to prove it.
Seeing Feng Qingxue's expression, Zhou Mingyu didn't care about her thoughts. "Those old things are really good things. If you are interested, don't miss them. They don't have much knowledge. They sell a Qianlong era enamel plate to the Friendship Store for one dollar and think they have made a profit. But the Friendship Store sells it to foreigners for three hundred yuan."
Feng Qingxue groaned. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right? The porcelain plate she bought with Adrian's help was from the Zhou family? She remembered watching an interview later and it was also said that the plate was bought for one dollar.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Mingyu turned and walked into an alley.
After about a quarter of an hour, Zhou Mingyu handed Feng Qingxue a jewelry box that was slightly bigger than his palm. "This is for you. Lend me 500 yuan. I will definitely pay you back tomorrow."
She couldn't get into the place where the gold was hidden, and couldn't sell it on the black market to exchange for money.
She originally thought that rather than letting it fall into the hands of the scheming Zhou Ping and his wife, it would be better to let Feng Qingxue buy it. She could see that Feng Qingxue valued this piece and was gentle and kind. It would be a good home for the old item in her family. Now that she had the chance to take it back, she suddenly became excited and decided to accept Feng Qingxue's suggestion. It would be better to take it back herself than to let it fall into the hands of others.
Feng Qingxue opened the jewelry box and immediately closed the lid, unable to hide the surprise on her face.
