Chapter 4 Antiques



After coming out of the hospital, Qin Xuan has been listening to the sounds of all things.

It’s true that there are so many things to hear.

BMW: What bad luck! The roof was stepped on by high heels again last night!

Little Tree: Damn it, which bastard is peeing on me again!

Retractable door: Stop shaking it, kid! It’s about to fall down!

Um?

This kid!

Seeing a naughty kid of a few years old frantically shaking the sliding door at the entrance of the hospital, Qin Xuan quickly ran two steps and picked up the kid.

Just as he turned sideways while holding the child, the sliding door fell to the ground.

"Hey, what's going on?!"

The security guard who was watching the video in the security booth heard the sound and was the first to rush out.

The child's mother, who was not far away, also hurried over after seeing the situation here.

"Ah, Yingjie, are you okay?"

Taking the child from Qin Xuan's arms, the child's mother hurriedly thanked Qin Xuan.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor." Qin Xuan waved his hand. "But you have to keep an eye on the child when you go out. He is still young and doesn't understand many dangerous things."

"I know, I will! Yingjie, thank your uncle quickly!" The mother pushed the child out.

"Thank you, uncle." Yingjie hugged his mother's thigh and said weakly.

"You're welcome. Kid, you must be more careful when you go out in the future and pay attention to safety, okay?"

After touching the child's head, Qin Xuan did not stay for long.

Because the landlord, Aunt Wang, sent another message.

But this time he was not asking for rent, but asking him to come home for dinner.

"How is Ling'er doing now?"

After serving the last dish, Aunt Wang asked Qin Xuan with some concern.

Although she was harsh in her words, she still felt very sympathetic towards the orphan brother and sister from the bottom of her heart.

Otherwise, she would not have allowed Qin Xuan to default on rent for half a year, and even often asked him to come over for dinner with her.

"Don't worry, I have paid the medical expenses and I can have the surgery tomorrow." Qin Xuan put a piece of meat in his mouth and quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice.

"The doctor said that after the surgery, as long as I take good care of my body, I will be basically no different from an ordinary person."

"That's good. Alas, such a good girl has to suffer this." Wiping away the tears from her eyes secretly, Aunt Wang was still a little worried, "But Qin Xuan, where did you get so much money?"

"Not only did I make up for the rent, but I also raised 100,000 yuan for medical expenses."

"Oh, you didn't do anything bad, did you?"

"No way, Aunt Wang. I'm a model young man!" Qin Xuan waved his hands quickly, and then told Aunt Wang about how he bought lottery tickets after being fired from the company.

Aunt Wang was silent for a while, then she stood up and went back to the bedroom. When she came out again, she had a bank card in her hand. "Qin Xuan, take this."

"Auntie, what are you doing?"

Qin Xuan was shocked and quickly pushed the bank card back.

"Take it!"

Aunt Wang ignored Qin Xuan's thoughts and directly stuffed the bank card into his arms. "Inside this is the rent you have paid me over the years. It should be tens of thousands at most."

"I originally said that after I got my salary this month and collected 100,000 yuan, I would give it to Ling'er to see a doctor."

"I didn't expect you to be so lucky and win the lottery."

Aunt Wang's tone changed as she spoke, "But let's make it clear first, this money of mine is not a gift to you."

"Whether you use it to support Ling'er's health or as start-up capital for your own business, I want you to pay me back double in five years."

“Can you do that?”

"Auntie Wang..."

Qin Xuan was deeply moved when he heard the other party's words.

What's this about paying back double the amount? It's just a trick used by the old man to provoke others.

The purpose is to make him work harder and not waste his life.

Of course Qin Xuan knew this truth.

What's more, he now possesses special abilities that no one else has. As long as he wants, what kind of good life can't he live?

However, in order not to disappoint the old man, Qin Xuan nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll borrow the money and write the IOU!"

Taking out a pen and paper, he immediately signed a promissory note for 100,000 yuan.

"Okay, let's eat quickly."

"Remember to clear the table after dinner."

Aunt Wang casually put the IOU into her pocket, picked up her coat with relief, and opened the door.

"Are you going out?" Qin Xuan asked.

"Well, the Zhao family bought a vase that is said to be an antique from hundreds of years ago, and they insisted that I go over to take a look."

"After you finish eating, go do whatever you need to do. I may not be back for sure."

Thinking of Lao Zhao, Aunt Wang's mouth corners unconsciously raised.

vase?

antique?

Looking at Aunt Wang's departing back, Qin Xuan's eyes became brighter and brighter.

yes!

Why didn’t I think of that before?

Since I can hear the voices of all things, can I also tell whether antiques are real or fake?

Thinking of this, Qin Xuan no longer cared about chewing slowly.

After munching on the remaining rice, he hurriedly opened his old computer.

Porcelain, coins, jade, calligraphy and paintings, anything that there was a chance of finding a bargain, he searched for it all.

The next morning, Qin Xuan arrived early at the largest antique market in Jiangcheng.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard the sounds of various objects moving one after another.

Porcelain vase: Hey! Be gentle! I just left the factory half a month ago, I don't want it to be scrapped like this!

Porcelain tea bowl: Alas, so many of my brothers from the same period have been bought up, when will I be sold out?

White Dragon Jade Pendant: Shang and Zhou? What Shang and Zhou? I was carved exactly one week ago!

Oh wow, it really works!

Clenching his fists excitedly, Qin Xuan walked to a stall selling old jadeite.

Jade bracelet A: Don’t look at me, I am a modern handicraft.

Jade bracelet B: Don’t look at me, I’m just a marble.

Jade pendant: Look at me, look at me, I have been out of the factory for two weeks!

Qin Xuan shook his head helplessly.

There are a lot of things on this stall, but not many of them are genuine.

Not to mention ancient jade, there are not many genuine jades, so there is no chance of finding a bargain.

Just as he was about to change stalls to continue shopping, an old man in cloth clothes slowly walked over.

He tremblingly took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened it carefully, and asked softly in a thick Jiangcheng accent, "Boss, do you accept bracelets here?"

"Three hundred." The stall owner glanced at it casually and continued to look down at his phone.

When the old man heard the offer, he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, three hundred is not enough."

"These three hundred are not enough to cover my wife's hospital expenses for the past few days!"

The stall owner frowned, his tone becoming more impatient, "Why should I care about that?"

"This is just a B-grade bracelet, five hundred at most, if you don't want to sell it, forget it."

The stall owner's tone was firm and the old man could only shake his head helplessly.

"Uncle, can I see your bracelet?" Seeing the old man was about to leave, Qin Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him.

The old man realized it later and handed over the bracelet directly, "Oh, sure, young man, take a look."

Qin Xuan quickly reached out to catch it.

When he put on the bracelet, he felt a chill.

Looking closely, the bracelet's voice also rang in his ears.

Jade bracelet: What kind of person is this? You don’t know the value of jade at all! This is the jade bracelet that Empress Dowager Lafayette once wore!
