The deceased Mr. Sidney Bentley was definitely a rich and willful collector.

Almost half of the second floor area was transformed into his study by him, and almost all his treasures were placed in this study.

This is a typical Western-style large study with two large floor-to-ceiling windows to the south, connecting to the viewing balcony outside.

In the middle of the two floor-to-ceiling windows is a load-bearing wall, but under the wall is a Western-style fireplace, with an oil painting hanging on it.

The oil painting is a wooden sailboat struggling forward in the storm. The oil painting is vivid, but Jin Muchen doesn't know much about these, but you can see the flashing yellow light of the oil painting at a glance, which shows that this is definitely a genuine antique.

In front of the fireplace is where he works. A set of good teak-made boss tables and sofa chairs. This study furniture, even if it is not antiques, can be defined as a top-notch handicraft just by looking at the workmanship and materials of this furniture, not to mention that the furniture is covered with grey patina.

The quality is well preserved. Although I don’t know much, Jin Muchen can conclude that this set of study furniture has a history of hundreds of years and can definitely be regarded as an antique.

There is a typewriter of a very old age on the desktop, which is still mechanically structured. It seems to have a history of at least a hundred years. Without surprise, it is also an antique.

What interested Jin Muchen the most was that there was a jade paperweight on the desktop, and the bamboo pen holder, a typical Chinese-style object. The two treasures were shining with yellow light from time to time. These two must be antiques.

In the middle of the study is a small reception room. The sofa and coffee table in the living room are relatively average, but the carpet under the coffee table is definitely a high-quality Persian carving, and the set of Chinese-style wooden root carving tea sets on the coffee table are definitely antiques.

There is a wall of books on the left hand side of the study room, and the books placed on the bookshelf, if you look closely, you can also see various flashes of light.

This shows that these books should have a history of decades or even hundreds of years. Some of them may still be very precious and rare versions now, and they can also be regarded as antiques.

There is also a large fireplace on the wall on the right, but above this fireplace is a deer-head specimen, and the horns of the deer-head are divided into twelve forks, which can also be regarded as antiques.

There is a small antique stand on the fireplace. On the antique stand, there are several master guns. Just looking at the shape of the hunting rifles, as well as the length and caliber of the barrel, you can tell that this is definitely an old gun with a history of hundreds of years. It has a greasy patina and good quality, and it is also an antique.

Next was the thing that interested Jin Muchen the most in the room, which was the two ancient shelves placed on both sides of the fireplace.

There are glass windows outside the Bogu Shelf. Through the glass window, you can see the exquisite Chinese porcelain placed on the Bogu Shelf inside.

Cups, bowls, plates, plates, and several plum vases all looked very exquisite. When they glanced at them, the jewelry flashing on these porcelain almost blinded his eyes.

When he saw this, Jin Muchen felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He felt as if he had walked into a treasure mountain, which contained endless wealth.

Jin Muchen just glanced at the other Western miscellaneous antiques and threw them aside. After all, although those were antiques, he didn't know much about these antiques and didn't know much about the market, so he didn't dare to look around.

I was afraid that after I fell in love with it, I couldn’t afford the price or the offer was too high, so I might as well focus on the Chinese porcelain on the two ancient shelves.

He quickly walked to the front of the ancient shelf on the left side of the fireplace. He did not rush to take out the porcelain inside, but looked carefully through the glass.

The porcelain on this ancient shelf is mainly composed of plum vases and cong-style bottles, and is all ornamental instruments. The colors on it are bright and the paintings are fine. Most of them are pastel bottles mainly composed of enamel, blue, red and gold.

The painting themes on those bottles are mostly Western styles, and most of them are Western religious themes or love themes.

After just a look, Jin Muchen concluded that these bottles were real, but most of them were exported porcelains from ancient Chinese dynasties, and most of them should be exported porcelains from the middle or late Qing dynasties.

Because just looking at the subject matter of the picture, export porcelain that depicts religious themes is generally the hottest time, around the 18th century.

Moreover, these porcelain bottles should have come from Europe, and they should have been used by European nobles before, because Chinese porcelain sold to European civilians will not be painted in such a style.

Although such porcelain is considered antiques, it is now in large quantities and is not well recognized in China, so the price in China is not very high, and even in the West, the price is relatively average.

After only a few glances, Jin Muchen lost interest in the porcelain here. However, he could not pull out the porcelain on the other side after a glance.

There are not many porcelains on this ancient shelf, only a few small bowls and two porcelain plates. Although they are practical instruments, they are pure Chinese-style porcelain.

Although the style does not have the other side of export porcelain, in the colorful eyes, it is blue and white porcelain, which is simple and elegant in workmanship, but compared with the other side of export porcelain, this simple and elegant porcelain makes Jin Muchen feel more pleasing to the eyes.

He carefully took out these dishes and looked carefully. They were all works from the Qing Dynasty. The two porcelain plates with butterfly love flowers should be works from the official kilns in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the quality is intact.

The other four small bowls should be the finest products of the folk kilns of the same era.

After a few closer glances, Jin Muchen came to a conclusion. During this period, he learned hard about Chinese antiques with Fang Bo, which was not in vain, and it played a role at this time.

If these dishes are taken down, they should be sold well in Fang Bo’s store. There are many Chinese people in Taobao in the United States these days.

Even if the price of each piece is one quarter lower than that of China, you can still buy about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. If you can get it at a low price, it will be even more cost-effective.

Jin Muchen was watching while watching the porcelain plate, and then a sound suddenly sounded beside him.

"Sorry, sir, have you finished reading it? If you finish reading it, can you let me see it?"

When I looked up, I realized that there was a guy in a suit and ties standing beside me, staring at the porcelain plate in his hand.

Jin Muchen smiled bitterly and put the porcelain plate in his hand into the cabinet, then made a gesture of asking for advice.

"Are you Japanese?"

A voice sounded in Jin Muchen's ears. Jin Muchen turned his head and saw that he was an Asian man in his thirties, with a slightly bald head and a smile as if he was flattering. He didn't notice that there was an Asian man here before.

Wearing a brown suit, it seems like it is a brand-name product, but this tight suit looks particularly funny when worn on him, because he is too thin. Even if it is a slimming suit, it still gives people the feeling of a child wearing adult clothes.

Without a tie, the open collar reveals a large gold chain as thick as a finger, and the hands are even more exaggerated. I wish I could wear all ten fingers with big gold rings, which gives people a feeling of nouveau riche at first glance.

The appearance can only be described as obscene, with its narrow eyebrows and triangular eyes. Anyway, the first impression it gives people is obscene.

He opened his mouth and stayed in a strong Xiangjiang accent English, and asked if Jin Muchen was a Japanese. Jin Muchen had no good feelings for the Japanese, but when this guy asked this, he felt even more unhappy.

"No, I'm Chinese."

He replied firmly, but he didn't expect that when this guy heard that he was Chinese, his face immediately changed, then turned his head and stopped paying attention to him. While turning around, he muttered, "Damn it, why are these damn Yankees everywhere?"

Although he spoke very lightly, Jin Muchen could still hear it clearly. Just as he heard the word "Northern" and the blue veins immediately swelled up on Jin Muchen's forehead. Needless to say, this guy must be from Xiangjiang, and he was the kind of guy who had no sense of identity with China and was even very anti-China.

Recently, these guys have been very good at making trouble in Xiangjiang. They don’t like this kind of people very much. I didn’t expect that today I would encounter such an annoying person. The most hateful thing is that I still pretend to be 13 in front of me?

If this weren't at Bentley's house, Jin Muchen would have really couldn't help but punch him.

"What's wrong?"

Candice, who was standing beside him, also noticed that Jin Muchen was in a bad mood, and asked with his hand.

"Nothing! Just hit a bed bug?"

Jin Muchen's voice was not very loud, but it was definitely possible for the guy in front to hear it. The guy turned his head viciously, and saw Candice first. His pair of small triangular eyes immediately became lustful, making Candice feel uncomfortable.

Jin Muchen was even more disgusted with this guy's character and snorted coldly. When this guy saw Jin Muchen's vicious eyes, he immediately became embarrassed, shrank his neck, and then turned his head.

In the past few years in the United States, Jin Muchen has met many immigrants from Xiangjiang and Baodao. These people are both good and bad. He has dealt with bastards like the ones in front of him, so he is very familiar with their temperament.

These guys are just a bunch of bad guys. When they see white-skinned foreigners, they want to kneel down and call them to their own father. When they meet Chinese people, especially mainlanders, they are chaotic with you, but once you force them, most of them will become soft immediately.

The natural cartilage disease cannot be helped.
