Chapter 416: scheming girl
Ji Yuxuan said calmly and calmly, but her face exuded an extremely confident smile, even a little playful.
At this moment, Liu Jianfeng felt a little strange about her. In the past, he only thought of her as a charming young lady with a lot of money, an ordinary doctor who drove a luxury car. The break in her character just now was just a brief outburst after being suppressed for too long.
But this confident aura at this time made Liu Jianfeng feel as if she was hiding something secretly and now she was going to show off her skills.
In fact, life is always full of similar little surprises. For example, a girlfriend who never puts on makeup suddenly puts on light makeup one day. This is the most intuitive surprise. A husband who is usually clumsy suddenly fixes a faulty refrigerator. A taciturn classmate suddenly shows up.
A blockbuster in a singing competition and so on.
Life is full of similar surprises, and Liu Jianfeng can't wait to see what kind of excitement Ji Yuxuan can bring to him.
She looked as careless as if she was shopping, picking and choosing, and occasionally muttered to herself, "My mother will definitely like this, and this is the most suitable gift for the leader..."
However, Liu Jianfeng noticed that although she seemed to be strolling around shopping, she would always return to the booths of the familiar bosses before. Apparently they had something interesting that Ji Yuxuan was interested in.
It's just that real sellers will never take a second look at a good thing for fear of waking the seller up and raising the price.
That is to say, there is probably a "big leak" hidden in the booths of these big guys that even they themselves don't know about. After all, they have already recommended a wave of good products just now. If it is these products, Ji Yuxuan has no need at all.
It's a waste of effort to make a sound in the east and attack in the west.
After that, she casually bought a large jade flower, the size of a palm, a very ordinary sapphire. The transparency was not very good, but the carving was still exquisite.
There was only one Jin Ruyi, which seemed to be pure gold, but it was nothing special. In terms of elegance and nobility, it was not as good as the one Jin Kairui gave her before.
Then continue to pick and choose, it is really like going to a night market, buying only gadgets, you can buy them if you like them, but you can also experience the joy of consumption.
When women go shopping, buying brand-name luxury goods is actually boring. It is all driven by the mentality of comparison and showing off.
In fact, the real fun is to go shopping, buy clothes, shoes, etc., and decorate yourself. The things are not expensive, but I like them. This is where the fun lies.
Ji Yuxuan picked and bought a lot, which made Liu Jianfeng a little excited and wanted to buy some gadgets. However, after Ji Yuxuan finally bought a half-foot-tall seated Bodhisattva statue, she said to him with a smile: "Let's go.
, I heard that the Xiangyinzi shop opposite has a real recipe from the Song Dynasty, I want to try it."
Liu Jianfeng was stunned. Did he find a big leak?
However, when a woman takes the initiative to end shopping, men usually don't talk nonsense.
The two of them held hands calmly, as if they had had enough fun and wanted to change places, and they politely greeted a few big shots.
After going out, the two of them did not go to the Xiangyinzi shop opposite. Instead, they found a restaurant called Wangjiazhengdian opposite, and the main restaurant also meant a large restaurant in the Song Dynasty.
The two of them sat down by the window on the second floor and simply ordered some special food. Looking at Ji Yuxuan who was drinking juice leisurely, she was as calm as Liu Jianfeng and was a little anxious, and whispered: "Did you really pick it up?"
"That goes without saying." Ji Yuxuan said proudly.
Ji Yuxuan didn't show off, so instead of making him appetizing, she might as well let him admire her.
She put today's harvest on the table one by one, including the white wood statue as big as a mobile phone, the inch-long golden Ruyi, the palm-sized jade flower, and the bust of Bodhisattva. Liu Jianfeng looked a little puzzled and said in surprise:
"These gadgets are also very common at street stalls, and the prices are not high. Just looking at the salesperson's expression, it seemed like we were being ripped off."
"Haha, this is the fun of picking up leaks. They think they have made money and are enjoying it. It is not uncommon for them to commit suicide after knowing the truth."
Ji Yuxuan started assembling it as she spoke.
That’s right, it’s assembly!
She began to gently shake the elephant's trunk, up and down, left and right, which reminded Liu Jianfeng of Contra involuntarily.
But what's more amazing than Contra is that after Ji Yuxuan's operation, a hole opened on the back of the wooden elephant. This little thing actually has a mechanism?
The back of the wooden elephant cracked to form a groove, like a tenon groove in a mortise and tenon structure, and the jade flower in Ji Yuxuan's hand had a protruding tenon on the ground. There was a soft click, and the two fit perfectly.
fused together.
Not only that, after the jade flower was placed on the back of the white elephant, an ordinary piece of sapphire suddenly flashed with colorful light, making Liu Jianfeng feel in a trance: "This..."
Ji Yuxuan smiled proudly and said: "This is a treasure. You think it is just a jade sculpture. This is actually the Buddhist ninth-grade lotus platform. Don't worry, wait until I invite the Bodhisattva to return to his throne."
As Ji Yuxuan spoke, she put the golden Ruyi into the hand of the seated Bodhisattva. She thought she was just holding it with her fingers, but she didn't expect that she just placed the golden Ruyi.
Then, place the Bodhisattva statue on the nine-pin lotus platform.
The sun just happened to shine down, and the jade flower suddenly glowed, colorful and dazzling.
In the splendid light, the golden body of the Bodhisattva is dazzling, solemn and peaceful, as if he has truly appeared to save all living beings.
Liu Jianfeng is definitely a well-informed person, but he was stunned at this moment. He swallowed his saliva and said: "It turns out that antiques can be played like this. Is this developed in cooperation with Lego?"
"What do you know?" Ji Yuxuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "This is an antique from the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It should have been born in Nanliang where Buddhism flourished. However, the original seller didn't know it. It might have been dismantled when they got it.
It was an object, so it was sold scattered to different people. Because it was broken into pieces, few people knew how to distinguish it.
In fact, this thing is really great, I guess it is a royal possession of the monk emperor, Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan."
Liu Jianfeng also knew something about this. The so-called four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and the number of towers in the mist, just showed that Buddhism was booming in that era, and there were temples everywhere.
Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty was even more weird. He believed in Buddhism and sacrificed his life in Tongtai Temple four times, and even asked ministers to spend money to ransom him.
He was obviously a devout Buddhist, and if it really belonged to him, it would be truly priceless.
Moreover, this assembleable Bodhisattva statue is indeed quite magical.
"Awesome!" Liu Jianfeng said sincerely.
Ji Yuxuan rolled her eyes at him again, as if she was unhappy with this simple flattery. Liu Jianfeng was just about to organize his thoughts and start shooting again, but heard Ji Yuxuan say: "Do you think it's just assembly?"
"Are there any other characteristics? Can it really summon a Bodhisattva to appear?" Liu Jianfeng asked in surprise.
"What a beautiful idea." Ji Yuxuan said angrily: "What does such a devout Buddhist want?"
"I know this." Liu Jianfeng at least has not seen such books. He has read any books about gods, Buddhas, demons and immortals: "People who believe deeply in Buddhism seek nothing more than great freedom, great liberation, and the attainment of bliss.
Enter the Pure Land, live long and live happily, and so on."
"That's right, Emperor Wu of Liang was so pious and what he wanted was even more so. So if this Bodhisattva statue is really his, then there is a bigger secret treasure hidden in it." Ji Yuxuan said with a mysterious face.
Liu Jianfeng's heart was also lifted, and he couldn't help but ask: "How do you know this, and how do you easily recognize these assembled cultural relics that have been broken into pieces?"
"I don't know, it seems like I have a talent." Ji Yuxuan said happily: "I have had a special feeling for these kinds of ancient objects since I was a child. I feel very familiar with them, and it seems as if they are calling me."
"Ah?" Liu Jianfeng said in surprise: "Is it like the golden finger of the protagonist in those treasure appraisal stories?"
"There is no real ability, just feeling, but this feeling is very accurate. When I was eleven years old, I once picked up more than a dozen cool items from a street stall, put them on the shelves, opened the door, and even one
High-quality goods.”
Liu Jianfeng's face turned dark after hearing this series of words, and then Ji Yuxuan said: "Because of this, my stepfather started to get close to us and married my mother."
"Do you know all these things?" Liu Jianfeng asked in surprise. Compared with identifying treasures and finding leaks, Ji Yuxuan at this time surprised him more.
"Of course I know." Ji Yuxuan smiled and said: "My father has always dreamed of being a noble. Although my biological father was also a noble in the late Qing Dynasty, he was already lonely and died young, but she still dreamed and refused to wake up. At that time, our mother
I almost couldn’t open the pot. I went to the antique street that time because I wanted to sell some gadgets to make ends meet.
It just so happened that I met my stepfather Yan Jingsheng that day. He was personable and looked like a successful man. He was a well-known figure in the antique business. I was still young at the time, and my mother was a wealthy lady. I wanted to survive.
You have to rely on a man, so I showed my hand to him that day, and as you know, we succeeded."
After hearing this, Liu Jianfeng was silent for a long time and then said: "You are so scheming... girl."
Ji Yuxuan smiled and didn't care at all. In order to survive and live well at that time, and she still had such abilities, she naturally had to use them rationally.
Of course, you can also pick up the leaks, but with their orphans and widowers, they may not even have a chance to cash out, so it is more important to find a strong backer.
In the end, her choice was the right one. Not only did she grow up safely in a wealthy family, but her mother's dream of a million dollars was also fulfilled safely.
"After that, my stepfather began to focus on training me, asking me to read a lot of ancient and rare books and understand traditional culture. To the outside world, he seemed to be training me to be a lady and concentrate on women's studies. In fact, he wanted me to help him find out mistakes and forgeries," Ji Yuxuan said.
"So you know everything." Liu Jianfeng said in surprise. Such a character shocked him even more than the female boxer.
"Of course I know that, and I didn't care at first. After all, I still have to thank others for their upbringing. I might as well just be an obedient and good girl. This kind of life is not bad. But just over a year ago, I discovered that my stepfather is a terrible person.
