Chapter 155: A Bountiful Harvest (2)
Among the small antiques, she selected three snuff bottles and two top-quality inkstands .
Of the remainder, Gu Qingyao was more interested in the larger items . She took a long time before selecting two Qing Dynasty enamel porcelain vessels .
They were medium-sized and brightly colored . Their vivid colors were dazzling . It was rare that such items had been preserved!
But what surprised her was a big blue and white porcelain dish from the Yuan dynasty!
It was about sixty centimeters in diameter and well preserved . The pattern was intricate and there were no scratches or chips around the edge . Gu Qingyao’s eyes lit up when she saw it .
A blue and white porcelain piece from the Yuan dynasty!
It was the king of antique porcelain items!
In later years, this big platter would easily fetch more than a million dollars at an auction!
Gu Qingyao hugged it to herself with delight .
Chen Jin’s mouth twitched when he saw her clutching the big plate with more excitement than she had shown when selecting so many jewels . He said, “Is this a good item? I accepted it because it was well preserved and looked clean and pretty . I got it in exchange for a sweet potato and was thinking of bringing it back to use as a plate . But it’s so big that it’s not very convenient to use!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
He had exchanged it for a sweet potato!
He had exchanged it for a sweet potato!

He wanted to use it as a plate, but thought it was too big and inconvenient?
Gu Qingyao wanted to throw her head back and howl . This was a blue and white Yuan porcelain piece . A blue and white Yuan porcelain piece!
The corner of her eyes twitched as she looked at Chen Jin . “This is a treasure, an absolute treasure . If you ever obtain more of these, look for me . I’ll take them all!”
Chen Jin nodded in agreement, without hesitating .
His decisiveness surprised Gu Qingyao . “I told you this is a treasure and you’re still willing to give it to me?”
Chen Jin rubbed his head and chortled . “Sister-in-law, if you want it, of course I will give it to you! I do business with Elder Brother and also, I don’t know much about these things . Gems and precious stones are different . I’ve seen so many of them, I’ve grown a little more discerning and can basically identify the good items . But I don’t know anything about antiques!

“Perhaps they will be very valuable in the future, but that’s in the future . Right now, it’s more important to me that I do well . ”
Unlike Mo Beihan, he did not have a good foundation!
He was not as capable as Mo Beihan . He was a nobody who depended on the times to make a few secret deals and had met some important people . That was how he had attained some status and connections .
Although many fine items passed through his hands, he firmly believed that anything that was valuable a few thousands of years ago would still be valuable in the future . But he knew how to let some go in order to obtain other things .
Antiques were not his strong suit . They were not much use to him even if he kept them . He did not know when times would improve . He had to ensure that he currently did well in order to retain his grasp on these things .
He had hidden many precious stones and gems . If these dark times really passed, all he had would be enough to make him a rich man!

In any case, he was prepared to cling on to Mo Beihan for dear life . If his future sister-in-law liked it, then he would give it to her!
But… this future sister-in-law seemed to be even more resourceful!
Gu Qingyao raised her eyebrows in some surprise . She had not expected Chen Jin to say something like that .
No wonder Mo Beihan had taken a fancy to him!
She smiled, “In that case, it’s a deal . Next time you have good things like that, save them for me . I will certainly give you plenty of what you want!”
Chen Jin smiled . “Certainly!”
Besides this, Gu Qingyao only took seven of Chen Jin’s last eight hundred dollars . Then she took her things and left the Chen house .
