Chapter 77
After lunch, the Old Master, Jacob, was already dressed neatly and urged Charlie to say, “Charlie, hurry up and get ready. Drive-in our new car and follow me to Antique Street. There is a new Thompson Dynasty official kiln vase in a store. , I want to see it.”
Charlie couldn’t help but persuade: “Dad, you’re starting to play antiques again now? We don’t have much money at home. Is it not a bit too extravagant to buy antiques?”
Jacob has no ability to make money, but he has a lot of dreams of getting rich. He likes to go shopping in the antique street when he has nothing to do. He wants to pick up a leak in his dreams, but in the past few years, he has basically been cheated.
It stopped for a while before, but he didn’t expect that not only did it not completely stop, but it was revived.
Seeing that Charlie even dared to point to him, Jacob coldly snorted and said, “Don’t talk so much nonsense, just send me over.”
Charlie had no choice but to go against him, so he had to drive Jacob to Antique Street.
Aurous Hill is a famous historical city. It is located on the antique street outside the scenic spot. It is also well-known in China. Antique dealers and shoppers from all over the country gather here.
The local tourism department also took advantage of the trend and spent a lot of money to renovate the Antique Street and turn it into a tourist attraction.
When he arrived at Antique Street, Jacob came to the door of an antique shop and explained to the receptionist that he had an appointment. It was convenient to invite two people to the VIP room at the back to see the goods.
Charlie was about to follow in, but Jacob turned back and said, “Don’t follow in. You can’t understand it even if you come in. Wait for me at the door of the VIP room!”
Charlie nodded: “I know Dad!”
With his hands on his back, Jacob followed the reception staff into the VIP room, and Charlie sat down in the lounge area.
A few minutes later, Charlie suddenly heard a crisp sound coming from the VIP room.
Later, Charlie saw his old father-in-law coming out in a panic.
He still muttered: “It’s over, it’s over! This is over!”
Charlie hurriedly walked to the front and looked behind Jacob. He saw that a tall and thin ceramic bottle had fallen into two on the ground, and there were still many small ceramic fragments on the ground.
Through the fragments, we can vaguely see that the one that was broken should be a Thompson Dynasty jade pot spring bottle.
He had been in the Wade family since he was a child, and he was also very knowledgeable. You can tell at a glance that this bottle is a genuine antique, and it is not a big problem to sell it up to several million in the market.
It seems that Jacob has caused a major disaster this time.
In the VIP room, a middle-aged man said with a dark face: “Mr. Willson, our jade pot spring bottle at least cost five million. Now you have broken it, you must pay the price!”
This person is Liangyun, the manager of Jiqingtang.
Jacob pulled Charlie over, and said in a panic: “This is my rich son-in-law, do you know how much he has? Don’t say just five million, even fifty million is nothing! It’s nothing for him to pay at once. Talk to him! I have something to do, let’s go now!”
After that, Jacob pushed Charlie in, turned his head, and ran out.
Charlie looked dumbfounded, this Old Master is too shameless, this is a clear plan to let him be a scapegoat!
Liangyun looked at Charlie and asked coldly, “This gentleman, a total of 5.38 million is due, are you swiping your card or transferring money?”
Charlie spread his hands: “I have no money.”
He was not unable to afford it but wanted to teach the Old Master a lesson so that he would not be able to come to Antique Street every day.
“No money?” Liangyun gritted his teeth: “You smashed our most precious thing, do you think you can leave without money, just by hiding your assets?”
Charlie said helplessly: “I didn’t want to hide anything, but I really don’t have any money. Besides, I didn’t smash your bottle. Why should you make me pay?”

Liangyun was out of luck: “Isn’t that your father-in-law?”
Charlie nodded: “There you go, it’s my father-in-law, not me. Whoever smashed it, find him to pay for it.?”
Liangyun was annoyed for a while, but what Charlie said also made sense.
He couldn’t help but ask him to pay compensation, otherwise, the signboard of JiQingtang would be ruined.
So he hurriedly blurted out to a few people around him: “You guys, hurry up and get me back that old guy!”
Charlie watched them chasing the Old Master in a hurry, and he laughed and said nothing.
In fact, he could just swipe his card to pay the money, but then, wouldn’t it be cheaper for his shameless Old Master?
Instead of that, it’s better to let this old guy suffer.
Otherwise, if he encounters such a thing again in the future, he will cheat him shamelessly again.
All Jiqingtang’s people were dispatched and they all went to catch Mr. Jacob. Charlie was fine on his own, so he looked at the broken bottle on the ground.
The bottle is about half a meter high, and now it has broken into two halves and a pile of fragments, which is really a pity.
However, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be hidden at the bottom of the lower half of the bottle.
He hurriedly reached in and took out a small wooden box!
Unexpectedly, there is such a mystery in this bottle!
The shape of the bottle has a small mouth and a big opening. The wooden box is obviously two or three times larger than the mouth of the bottle. It seems that this was not stuffed in the later stage, but when the bottle was made, the wooden box was used directly. The box is made in!
In this way, this wooden box should have been left by the Thompson Dynasty too!
He took the wooden box in his hand and looked at it carefully, then with a little force, he opened the wooden box with a snap.
As the wooden box opened, an extreme fragrance suddenly escaped, and Charlie took a sip, only feeling refreshed.
Take a closer look, inside the wooden box, lies an ancient book that is not as big as a palm!
Charlie picked up this very pocket-sized ancient book and saw four ancient seal characters written on the title page of the Jiuxuantianjing.
“This name is a bit interesting, I don’t know what it is.” Charlie opened the book and looked at it.
The first one is the medical technique, which records a large number of cases and treatment methods.
Charlie frowned slightly. He had also been in contact with traditional medicine and knew some basic theories of traditional medicine, but the content recorded in this book was obviously much better than the methods used in traditional medicine today.
Some methods of diagnosis and treatment are unheard of. Even at the end of the medical technique chapter, Charlie also saw alchemy, the effect of some pills, which is simply beyond the real knowledge of society.
Charlie became interested and sat on the ground, constantly flipping.
Unexpectedly, in the Nine Profound Sky Sutras, there are also the contents of Feng Shui fortune-telling, as well as various magical methods such as treasure inspection and restoration, in addition to many other strange things.
Charlie looked at it for a long time, only to feel that every word in the book was digging into his mind, his heart was like boiling water.
This is a peerless treasure!
