At night, Li Qingqing stood alone by the lotus pond in a daze.

She didn't expect the affairs of the Zhao family to be so complicated. But since she was married to Zhao Xu, Li Qingqing decided to secretly help Zhao Xu and his son resolve this grudge.

Li Qingqing did not expect that it was Zhao Xiaotian's idea to expel Zhao Xu from the Zhao family. Zhao Xiaotian did this to protect Zhao Xu by separating him from the five major aristocratic families.

A few days ago, Zhao Xu asked her if she wanted to continue helping the five major families. Now it seems that this matter must be persisted to the end.

The wind picked up, and a chill came over her. Li Qingqing's delicate body shivered, she put away her phone, turned around and walked into the house.

In the next few days, Chen Xiaodao taught Shen Hai and Xiao Zizi the five-step boxing while waiting for Ma Er to recover from his injuries.

With nothing to do, Zhao Xu told his wife Li Qingqing that he would go to the antique market to see if he could pick up some good things. He also said that last time, Mr. Kong, who was number one on the list, was at the flea market. I found an authentic boxing book and gave it to Nong Quan.

"Well, go ahead! Be careful." Li Qingqing warned Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu nodded and took Chen Xiaodao out of Zhao's house.

Su City has a long history and is a famous ancient city. It has been regarded as a tourist destination in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times.

In ancient times, many literati and dignitaries liked to visit Jiangnan. The "Confucian Temple" and "Xiangwang Temple" in Suzhou City are both famous antique places.

Zhao Xu took Chen Xiaodao around the "Confucian Temple" first.

In the area around the Confucian Temple, there are mostly street stalls selling various antiques.

Of course, the antiques industry is very deep. As the saying goes, it is said that one knife will make you rich, and one knife will make you rich. Whether you can find good things in the antique market depends entirely on your eyesight. Many people do not understand this and enter the antique market rashly. Will be "punched in the eye".

Most of the antiques sold by street stalls like this are fake or of poor quality. Of course, there are also some stall owners who collect them from the private sector and miss some treasures. If they are acquired by some antique tycoons, they will pick them up. If there is a leak, it is commonly known as "picking up the leak!".

Chen Xiaodao was not interested in these antiques. He mainly accompanied Zhao Xu to wander around and was responsible for his personal safety.

When he reached the stall of a middle-aged man in his thirties, Zhao Xu stopped.

Zhao Xu was attracted by a piece of "crazy cursive" calligraphy work. After carefully looking at the stall owner, he saw that the stall owner looked depressed and seemed to be worried.

"How much does this piece of calligraphy cost?" Zhao Xu asked the stall owner.

The stall owner seemed to be immersed in his thoughts. Zhao Xu called three times in a row, but there was no response.

Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao looked at each other. Then, they waved their hands in front of the stall owner's eyes.

"Hey, are you doing business?" Zhao Xu frowned and asked the stall owner.

He has never seen such an unreliable business person.

The stall owner responded, "Oh!" and asked Zhao Xu, "Do you want to buy something?"

Zhao Xu was really pissed off by this stall owner. He picked up the cursive calligraphy on the stall and asked the stall owner: "How much does this calligraphy cost?"

"Two hundred thousand!"

When Chen Xiaodao heard that it was two hundred thousand, he glared at the stall owner and said, "What, two hundred thousand? You are robbing the money!"

"Whether you want to buy it or not, don't disturb my business." The stall owner took back the cursive calligraphy.

Zhao Xu looked at the stall owner carefully. He was in his thirties, with a green beard all over his mouth. He looked a bit downcast. He was short in stature and had the appearance of a deer-headed rat.

"I can buy your calligraphy, but you have to package this painting and sell it to me." Zhao Xu pointed to a portrait of a beautiful woman on the stall.

"No, if you want this painting, add 200,000 yuan!" The stall owner directly refused Zhao Xu.

Chen Xiaodao pulled Zhao Xu's sleeve and whispered: "Master, be careful of being deceived by this person!"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Chen Xiaodao knew that Zhao Xu had certain attainments in antique calligraphy and painting, and he might have discovered that this calligraphy was different from this painting, so he said nothing.

The stall owner said to Zhao Xu: "How about you give me 500,000 yuan and you can take away everything in my stall?"

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "I only want this wild cursive calligraphy and this painting!"

"Then how much can you pay?" the stall owner asked Zhao Xu.

"Just count it as you say, four hundred thousand!" Zhao Xu said.

The stall owner didn't expect Zhao Xu to agree so readily, and said regretfully: "No, I won't sell it! You can add another 100,000, and I'll sell it to you for 500,000."

Zhao Xu said to Chen Xiaodao beside him: "Xiaodao, let's go!"

When the stall owner saw Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao were leaving, he shouted to them: "Hey! Why are you leaving without making a counter-offer when you come back?"

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "How can you ask for such a price? We obviously agreed on 400,000 yuan, but then we raised the price and temporarily increased it by 100,000 yuan."

"Okay! I'll sell you the four hundred thousand."

Zhao Xu asked the other party for his bank card number and transferred 400,000 yuan.

Chen Xiaodao really couldn't understand these rich people. 400,000 yuan could buy a house of 70 to 80 square meters in a small county, but Zhao Xu actually used 400,000 yuan to buy a calligraphy and a painting.

What shocked Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao was that the stall owner sold something to Zhao Xu and immediately started to close the stall after receiving 400,000 yuan.

Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao felt a little strange and followed them quietly.

On the way, Chen Xiaodao asked Zhao Xu: "Master, why did you spend 400,000 to buy a piece of calligraphy and a painting?"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Xiao Dao, you don't know. I found a treasure!"

"What does it mean to find a treasure?" Chen Xiaodao asked puzzledly.

Zhao Xu explained: "Have you ever heard of the four great talents from Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty?"

Chen Xiaodao shook his head and said he didn't know.

Zhao Xu explained to Chen Xiaodao: "The four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River are Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing. They are also known as the Four Talents in Wuzhong, and they are from Sioux City. Have you seen a movie called Tang Bohu Lights Up the Fragrance of Autumn?

?”

Chen Xiaodao shook his head again, indicating that he had not seen it.

Zhao Xu is really convinced by Chen Xiaodao. I wonder if he had a childhood and never even watched such a classic movie.

Zhao Xu explained: "Actually, this movie weakens Zhu Zhishan. Zhu Zhishan can be listed as one of the four great talents in Jiangnan, so he is naturally outstanding. Zhu Zhishan is excellent in cursive writing and is good at calligraphy. And Tang Bohu and the other two

He was a talented man who was not only good at poetry but also good at painting. Tang Bohu was romantic all his life, and his best thing was painting ladies and landscapes. And this painting is exactly Tang Bohu's painting. But few people know about it!"

"Master, how did you know?" Chen Xiaodao asked curiously.

Zhao Xu explained: "This is due to the strict supervision of my father and my mother since I was a child. When I was a child, they forced me to learn Chinese studies, force me to practice calligraphy, and force me to practice painting. I

What I liked most at that time was writing cursive script and writing about various celebrity systems.

I am very familiar with the cursive calligraphy. This calligraphy is Zhu Zhishan’s masterpiece, with a market valuation of at least 20 million. And this painting of Tang Bohu is also worth at least that amount. I had studied Tang Bohu’s paintings of ladies at that time. So, I recognized it.

His style of painting.”

"Isn't this a high imitation?" Chen Xiaodao asked worriedly.

"No!" Zhao Xu said confidently.

The two followed, and finally saw the stall owner riding an electric tricycle to an alley corner.

There is an inconspicuous house in the corner of the alley, which looks like an illegal building. Unexpectedly, this stall owner's life is really miserable.

After the stall owner returned the items for the stall to his home, he left the house in a hurry.

Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao felt that this man was a little strange, so they followed him quietly again.

This person ended up going to a villa in a wealthy area outside of Xi'an.

Because Zhao Xu didn't know internal strength, he couldn't use Qing Gong and couldn't eavesdrop. He asked Chen Xiaodao to secretly find out what this person wanted to do.

Zhao Xu was sitting in the car, admiring calligraphy and painting while waiting for Chen Xiaodao.

In the villa, a man with a bulging belly and a fat head and big ears said to the stall owner who came in: "Wu Yong, what are you doing here again?"

"Boss Xia, I'm here to redeem my sister."

"Redeem your sister?" Xia Tongfu looked at Wu Yong with a disdainful expression and said, "Are you rich?"

"There are more than 400,000!"

"You want to redeem your sister for more than 400,000 yuan? What do you want to do? I spent two million on you, and you personally mortgaged your sister to me." Xia Tongfu looked impatient.

Wu Yong said: "Boss Xia, I will give you 400,000 first. You can ask your sister to go back with me first! I will think of a solution for the remaining 1.6 million."

Xia Tongfu sneered a few times and said: "Wu Yong, actually you are not helpless. You are a tomb robber. As long as you rob a few more big tombs, it will not be easy to make money."

"But I swore to my ancestors that I would never rob a tomb again!"
