Chapter 68: Thick Family Property

As soon as Huang Suqiong entered the room and saw Wen Zuoxuan, she said with a smile: "Master Wen, we have not forgotten that you helped us when we were in trouble!

So now that you are in trouble, we naturally need to help you. If ten thousand oceans are not enough, we will get some more to help you!"

At this time, Wen Zuoxuan felt a little sorry for the two of them. After all, what he just said was already a bit forcing the other party!

Then he said with some embarrassment: "Mrs. Zhang, actually I am not trying to compete with you. As long as Mr. Zhang tells the truth, I can pay back my ten thousand oceans anytime!"

"Who is this gentleman?" Huang Suqiong asked as she looked at Cheng standing aside.

She already knew what happened just now from her servants, but she didn't know what Cheng Shi was doing. She was very curious about Cheng Shi's purpose!

Cheng Shi said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Cheng Shi, and I am an agent from the French Concession!"

After hearing this, Zhang Tingzhong said with some displeasure: "Agent Cheng, you seem to have made a mistake. This is a public concession, not a French concession!"

Huang Suqiong said with a smile: "I don't know, Agent Cheng, why do you have to know what happened a year and a half ago?!"

Cheng Shi then smiled and said: "Actually, I just want to know what the thief wants to steal. Mr. Zhang may have misunderstood!

I just want to know what the thief is aiming for, but he doesn’t care much about the secret hidden by that target!"

When Wen Zuoxuan heard Cheng Shi's words, he immediately understood and thought to himself: This person is really not simple!

He also understood why Cheng Shi didn't reveal his identity just now and asked Zhang Tingzhong questions directly!

He just wanted to confirm his thoughts. After confirming his thoughts, he revealed his identity!

Now Cheng Shi said that he was not here for the other party's secrets, but just to make the other party nervous first and then relax!

This makes it easier for him to get what he wants from them!

Zhang Tingzhong didn't wait for Huang Suqiong to continue speaking, and then said with a livid face.

"No matter what your reasons are, I don't want to say it now. Although I don't have that much cash, I have a lot of valuable things at home!

Suqiong, you’d better give something to Mr. Wen and let him take it away to solve his urgent need!”

Huang Suqiong looked at the excited Zhang Tingzhong and felt very displeased with his performance, but she did not stop him!

Instead, he waved his servant to come forward. The servant carefully placed a three-legged and two-eared porcelain in his hand on the table between the three of them!

Huang Suqiong then said with a smile: "This is a piece of porcelain from the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty. It should be worth 10,000 yuan!"

Cheng Shi was naturally surprised when he heard this. Although he didn't play with antiques, he had heard about the preciousness of the Xuande furnace!

Wen Zuoxuan didn't have any expression at this time, and Huang and Zhang naturally didn't care much, otherwise they wouldn't let their servants take it!

In 1918, Huang Suqiong married the well-matched Zhang Tingzhong. Although the Zhang family was in decline, Zhang Tingzhong was Li Hongzhang's grandson after all.

The Li family has a very strong family background. There are five brothers in the Li family, and all of them are extremely rich. Li Fengzhang was the first of the Li brothers to settle in Shanghai!

Li Fengzhang bought a large piece of land in Shanghai, and the villa where Huang and Zhang lived was actually bought by Li Fengzhang before!

Li Fengzhang's descendants also moved to Shanghai one after another. His eldest son had already lived in Shanghai in 1900.

Later, Li Fengzhang's grandson Li Guosen wanted to donate antiques to the Shanghai Museum and asked the museum to send a car to pull it there.

As a result, the museum pulled six truckloads of antiquities from his home, mostly bronzes, as well as a lot of ancient porcelain and ancient coins!

The museum staff were busy for two days just to register and create the register.

A lot of gold bars were also taken away from their home. It is unknown how many gold bars there were, but a total of fourteen large boxes of gold bars were received.

At that time, the Li family probably sold more than half of their things. The Li family was still so rich. One can only imagine how rich the Li family was at that time.

When Huang Suqiong got married, the dowry she brought was enough for an ordinary family of more than a dozen people to live on for several lifetimes.

Therefore, the two of them naturally have no strange feelings about antiques. This is probably not the first time that antiques have been used to pay off debts!

Normally, Huang Suqiong should live a happy life like this, but this is not the case. Huang Suqiong has received a new type of education since she was a child!

Zhang Tingzhong's mind is full of feudal ideas. To put it bluntly, these two people have different views and belong to two different worlds!

Just because of family arrangements, they got married, and Zhang Tingzhong also liked Zhang Xiaolin's black and white business. He didn't like the yellow business very much, but he only went there occasionally!

So his money was consumed quickly, and the two of them had no source of income, so they relied on the antiques from the sellers!

Huang Suqiong looked at Wen Zuoxuan, who looked calm, and Cheng Shi, who looked surprised, and continued with a smile.

"I don't know, who of you knows this? You can tell me whether this is worth tens of thousands of dollars!"

Wen Zuoxuan looked at Zhang Tingzhong with a proud look on his face, Huang Suqiong with a smile on his face, and Cheng Shi who looked inquiring next to him!

He reached out and picked up the three-legged tripod, looked at it carefully, and then said: "In porcelain, the most important thing is to look at the patina and color!

They come in five colors: Buddhist scripture paper, chestnut shell, eggplant skin, Tang pear, and brown. Among them, the color of Buddhist scripture paper is the first.

Some gold-sprinkled or gold-inlaid copper furnaces manufactured using special techniques are worth several times more than ordinary copper furnaces.

And this is exactly the color of Buddhist scripture paper!

Secondly, look at the shape, caster, size and weight. The shape should be quaint and thick. Those with ears and feet are better than those without ears and feet. The finer the casters, the better.

This is another small tripod with simple double ears!

In terms of size, this is a large furnace with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters. It is rare to find someone with excellent craftsmanship, and its value is even higher."

Wen Zuoxuan weighed the porcelain in his hand, turned the small tripod over to look at it, and continued.

"In the case of the same size, the heavier the furnace, the higher the value. Finally, it depends on the quality of the model. The more refined and unique the model is, the higher the value of the copper furnace!"

Cheng Shi listened with great concentration, and then said, "What's its price?!"

Wen Zuo

When Zhang Tingzhong heard this, he said with a cold face: "Good skills and good eyesight. Now Brother Wen can take it and leave. As for how many more oceans it can be sold, it all belongs to Brother Wen!"
