Chapter 109 Panjiayuan Antique Market
After Hu Lili finished her meal, she asked the female bodyguard to come in and clean the table. She went to the bathroom to rinse her mouth and touch up her makeup.
After she had eaten, she seemed a little more normal and not as hungry as before.
Sitting at the desk, she habitually took out a lady's cigarette and held it in her mouth. Just as she was about to light it, she saw Xiao Xingyun staring at her, so she put the cigarette back into the box without leaving a trace.
"Why didn't you tell me when you arrived in the imperial capital?" She decided to take a preemptive strike and not give Xiao Xingyun a chance to discuss the topic of women smoking.
However, this question should have been asked when Xiao Xingyun first entered the door.
Putting it off until after dinner is like putting up your pants and not admitting it.
"I was invited by a friend to attend the Imperial Capital Jade Exhibition. I was busy for two days, and you discovered me before I even had time to tell you." Xiao Xingyun didn't dare to tease her with any more flirtatious words, and answered honestly.
"If I hadn't noticed that you were in the Imperial Capital, wouldn't you have told me?"
"How could it be possible that only a fool would miss the opportunity to eat a free meal?"
"I don't know if it's the Overlord's Dinner, but if you dare to hide it again when you go to the imperial capital, I'll give it a goose... goose goose goose." At this point, Hu Lili started laughing.
She was afraid that what she said was too serious and would scare Xiao Xingyun.
Xiao Xingyun said vigilantly: "Is this how you treat your savior?"
Hu Lili gave her a wink: "What's the matter? I can't wait to make you a fool all my life. Don't you like it?"
Xiao Xingyun didn't answer the question and directly used the Great Shift: "Don't make trouble, it's too dangerous to be with you. I'm afraid I won't live to enjoy this kind of happiness."
"I will solve Wang Banxian's matter. You can't be in danger every time you are with me." Hu Lili also had a headache when she thought of all the coincidences between the two of them.
"I hope so." Xiao Xingyun said, stood up, and was about to find a reason to leave.
But Hu Lili took the lead and said, "Is this your first time visiting Panjiayuan? As the host, I must take you around to familiarize yourself with the cultural heritage and charm here."
Without waiting for Xiao Xingyun to refuse, he took his hand and walked out of the room.
Two female bodyguards were always guarding the door.
Since being assassinated twice, Hu Lili has trusted them more and more, and the original driver has found out the problem and found someone to replace him.
Those two precise assassinations were all caused by the driver secretly leaking Hu Lili's whereabouts.
"Hey, you're not doing well with your teasing, aren't you?"
"You are my savior, what's wrong with being a little affectionate?"
"But I have a girlfriend, and it's not good for her to see me."
"She is in Shenghai, not in Panjiayuan. Besides, what if we see her? We are just visiting the market, not having sex."
"You are also a famous person in Panjiayuan, why don't you pay attention to the impact?"
"I am still single, who can say anything? Who dares to say anything?"
"..."
Just like that, Xiao Xingyun was held by her hand and led to the lobby on the first floor.
All the employees of the Treasure Pavilion peeked at Xiao Xingyun in surprise.
Everyone wants to know, what is this man’s specialty that allows him to be treated so intimately by Boss Hu, who has a higher vision than his boss?
Hu Lili pointed to the dazzling antique collection cabinets on the first floor and said to Xiao Xingyun: "The Treasure Pavilion does not sell fakes. The provenance of all antiques will be clearly identified by experts, so there is no chance of anything missing here!"
Xiao Xingyun took a tour under her guidance. The furnishings here were different from the store in Shenghai City God's Temple. There were no new jadeite for sale, but ancient jade.
"The things in my store are not interesting. The prices are too high and there is no fun in picking up missing items. Come on, I will take you to the stalls outside. There are surprises there every day. No one knows which stall will be discovered.
It’s a big leak, maybe we’re lucky and can pick it up.”
"Okay." Xiao Xingyun has already cleaned up the rough stones at the jade exhibition. He originally wanted to go shopping in Panjiayuan this afternoon, but now that Hu Lili is taking him there, it saves his worries.
Xiao Xingyun and Hu Lili were strolling in front, and the two female bodyguards followed from a distance without getting too close.
There are all kinds of old things here, ranging from wooden furniture, bronze tripods, porcelain, to rings, pins, stamps, and copper coins.
Seeing the densely packed stalls on both sides of the street, Xiao Xingyun felt very friendly, as if he was back when he was setting up stalls in the Chenghuang Temple.
Xiao Liuzi was sneaking behind them and was discovered by Hu Lili's female bodyguard.
One of the bodyguards took Xiao Liuzi to a corner and threatened him a few times. Xiao Liuzi then honestly told Zhang Heng that he wanted to take revenge on Xiao Xingyun.
He is just an ordinary person who is afraid of being beaten. Since he is discovered, telling the truth is the only thing he can do.
"Tell Zhang Heng that Xiao Xingyun is Boss Hu's distinguished guest and ask him to stop making random decisions, otherwise he won't be able to afford it if something happens," the female bodyguard warned.
"Yes, I will definitely tell Zhang Heng." Xiao Liuzi was frightened. After leaving, he immediately called Zhang Heng back.
Zhang Heng was so angry that he couldn't get any revenge.
The employee who followed Fatty Luo and Hualiuyi reported illegal services at Jiangnan Xiushui Pavilion. He called and the patrol came, but left again.
I called again to inquire, and the reply was: the report was false. After verification, Jiangnan Xiushui Pavilion did not provide illegal services!
Now Xiao Liuzi reported again that Xiao Xingyun and Boss Hu had a close relationship, and they went to the Panjiayuan Antique Market hand in hand.
How can we take revenge? That woman Hu Lili did something very dirty. Everyone in Panjiayuan knew that she was powerful, but she did not leave any evidence of guilt.
Such people really cannot afford to offend.
"There will always be times when Xiao Xingyun is alone. I have to take action personally. If I don't avenge this, I won't be able to sleep at night!"
Zhang Heng held the cell phone loudly and gritted his teeth, but still had no intention of giving up revenge.
At this moment, Xiao Xingyun and Hu Lili have visited dozens of stalls. The "antiques" on these stalls are almost all fakes. Some of them are genuine, and the asking prices are extremely high. Let alone missing something, if you really want to buy it, you will definitely fall into the trap.
.
"Boss, how do you sell this vase?" Hu Lili asked, pointing to a ceramic vase on a porcelain stall.
"Oh, beauty, you are really an expert. You can recognize this Tang Sancai Double Dragon Ear vase at a glance. This is a fine porcelain product. It only costs 680,000 yuan today. You can take it."
Hu Lili smiled and said: "Remove the word 'ten thousand', I want it. There is just a vase missing in the room to arrange flowers."
The stall owner was stunned on the spot: "Beauty, when people bargain, they always cut from the waist and knees, but you are cutting from the soles of the shoes!"
"Just tell me whether to sell it or not?"
"Oh, I haven't been open for a day. Beautiful boss, just take pity on me. If you add more, it will be considered as shipping cost. You can take away the 100 yuan."
"Okay, let's wrap it up." After Hu Lili said that, she didn't waste any time and just scanned the QR code with her mobile phone to pay.
"Pfft..." Xiao Xingyun almost laughed. What the hell is this bargaining trick? This big knife is much more ruthless than the jade raw stone market.
Hu Lili explained: "They are all antique ceramics, low imitations, and the purchase price in bulk is only about 50 yuan. He sold them for 100 yuan and doubled his profit. That's it."
Xiao Xingyun took the vase and helped her hold it.
At this time, a man selling calligraphy and painting next to him said with a smile: "Boss, please take a look at my calligraphy and painting. These are all genuine things that my father collected from the countryside. I will compensate you ten for any fake ones."
Hu Lili said with a smile: "Why don't you buy one and get ten for free? Why don't you just say buy one and get ten for free? This way there will be fewer disputes."
The stall owner smiled and said: "Hey, this beauty is a real connoisseur. She knows everything. But your home lacks calligraphy and paintings to hang on the wall. You can come and have a look. The price is definitely cheap."
Xiao Xingyun naturally heard what it meant, and smiled, and was about to leave. When he glanced at the corner of the painting stall, a flash of heat suddenly flashed in his eyes. The pure energy of time and space was like a firefly in the dark, deeply attracting him.
