Tang Kexin nodded and said nervously, "It's for an old man as a birthday gift. Do you think it's appropriate?"

Huang Dagang said "hmm" and handed the ring back.

When Tang Kexin went to pick it up, he naturally took the opportunity to touch her hand again.

"I have appreciated this ring before. It was indeed a favorite item of a certain prince in the Qing Dynasty. Later, when the prince's palace fell into decline, he pawned the ring and it became a common item among the people..."

Huang Dagang said slowly.

A hint of surprise flashed across Tang Kexin's face. "So, this thing really came from the palace?"

"Of course, I have appraised this ring on the show before. I was not the only one who appraised it. After the appraisal, the owner of the ring auctioned it on the spot. If I remember correctly, it was bought by Boss Niu for 800,000 yuan, right?"

The fat shopkeeper said proudly, "Yes, I bought it at a price of 800,000 yuan."

Tang Kexin no longer had any doubts and asked, "Then...how much does Boss Niu plan to pay?"

"I see that you really want this ring, so I won't try to make money from you. I'll just keep the original price of 800,000 yuan. You can take it. Just consider it as a good relationship between my Jubaozhai and you. I look forward to your visit in the future."

The fat boss spoke very sincerely.

Tang Kexin said gratefully, "Okay, plus the old man's 50,000, the total is 850,000. I'll transfer the money right away."

The fat boss added, "Although this ring has been authenticated by Master Huang, there are rules in the industry. Antiques are something you should never regret buying. If you think this thing is unreliable, it's not too late to give it up now."

At first, the old man immediately said, "I'm a little regretful. I actually gave away such a good thing for 50,000..."

Tang Kexin no longer hesitated and said firmly: "I won't regret it."

Pi Yangyang shook his head again. He could tell at a glance that the old man, including the so-called Master Huang, were actually in cahoots with Boss Niu.

They just set a trap and tricked Tang Kexin into it.

But he still didn't say anything and turned sideways so that Tang Kexin couldn't see him.

Tang Kexin was so focused on the ring that she didn't notice that Pi Yangyang was not far away.

After paying the bill, Boss Niu asked his waiter to take out an exquisite gift box, wrap it up and give it to Tang Kexin.

"Congratulations, young lady. This ring will surely bring you good luck."

Boss Niu is obviously a savvy businessman and he says whatever he likes.

Tang Kexin said thank you and left carefully holding the gift box.

After Tang Kexin left, the old men immediately went into the inner room.

It looked like they went in to discuss how to divide the loot.

Pi Yangyang lost interest and left, knowing that he couldn't find anything good here.

I strolled around the antique market for a while and went into a few shops to take a look, but I was still disappointed.

He thought about it and decided not to buy it.

He just happened to have a piece of tortoise shell in his possession, which he could give as a birthday gift tomorrow.

This tortoise shell amulet made of jade crystal tortoise shell has the effect of calming the mind, refreshing the brain, and bringing good luck and avoiding misfortune.

It has a very good auxiliary therapeutic effect, especially for people with qi deficiency and blood deficiency.

So it is indeed a treasure for the elderly and frail people.

Zhao Gaoming had been poisoned for many years and had symptoms of qi deficiency and blood deficiency. The jade crystal tortoise shell was just beneficial to his symptoms.

After realizing this, he bought a gift box in a store, put the tortoise shell token he carried with him into the box, and waited to give it to Zhao Gaoming as a birthday gift the next day.

After leaving the antique market, he found a random restaurant to eat something and then returned to the hotel.

There was still no news from Wei Hongyi, but he was not in a hurry. He had to attend Zhao Gaoming's birthday banquet tomorrow anyway, so there was no need to rush in the next one or two days.

Silent all night.

The next day, he woke up from meditation, had breakfast in the hotel, and then drove to Zhao's house.

When we arrived at the gate of the Zhao family compound, we saw many luxury cars parked there.

The Zhao family is the most powerful family in Beijing and one of the top five in the country. There were naturally many people coming to congratulate Zhao Gaoming on his birthday.

However, many people are not eligible even if they want to come.

As soon as Pi Yangyang got off the car, he heard a familiar voice shouting, "Mr. Pi, why are you here too?"

He turned around in surprise, only to see Wang Xingyuan walking towards him with a look of surprise on his face.

"Master Wang? Are you here to attend the Zhao family's birthday banquet?"

Pi Yangyang saw Wang Xingyuan holding a long box in his hand, and knew at a glance that it must contain a painting, so he asked casually.

"Yes, I have some friendship with Mr. Zhao. Of course I have to come and congratulate him on his 80th birthday."

Wang Xingyuan said with a happy look on his face.

"That's a coincidence. I have some connections with the Zhao family, and I'm here to attend Mr. Zhao's birthday party."

Pi Yangyang smiled softly and said.

"Then... let's go in together?"

Wang Xingyuan extended an invitation.

The two of them entered the Zhao family compound side by side. When the housekeeper Zhao Hu saw Pi Yangyang, he hurried over to say hello.

"You two, please go to the lobby to rest..."

Zhao Hu personally accompanied them to the hall.

At this time, many people had already come to the hall, and many of them were obviously dignitaries from the capital.

Some of them came from far away, but they all had extraordinary status.

Zhao Hu arranged a table for them and a servant immediately poured them hot tea.

"Please sit here for a while. The old man will come out soon."

Zhao Hu said this and went out to greet the guests.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhao Gaoming, who was dressed in rich clothes, and Zhao Jingang came out from the inner room.

Everyone stood up and applauded warmly.

Zhao Gaoming sat down on the birthday chair in the middle, raised his hand and pressed it, and said happily: "Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday with this old man. Today, my humble home has prepared a little wine, please don't be polite and drink a few cups later."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately said respectfully, "It is our honor to come and celebrate Mr. Zhao's birthday! We must drink the birthday wine today, so that we can also get some of the old man's wealth and honor!"

Zhao Gaoming laughed, "You're welcome, everyone."

At this time, someone said, "The Lu family of Beijing has come to celebrate the old man's birthday and present him with a pair of jade horses. We wish the old man a long life and great happiness!"

As the words came out, a middle-aged man held a gift box respectfully and bowed slightly.

Zhao Fan came over, took the gift box, and handed it to the gift registration office for registration.

"The Lu family in the capital, a pair of top-quality jade horses..."

The ceremonial officer at the registry office sang loudly after calling the gift box for verification.

Everyone looked at the pair of crystal clear white jade horses, and someone exclaimed: "This pair of jade horses is probably worth more than three million!"

The Lu family said proudly: "It's 5.8 million!"

As soon as these words were spoken, someone uttered an exclamation.

This birthday gift can be considered a lavish one.

Immediately afterwards, people who came to the birthday party presented birthday gifts one after another.

Without exception, all gifts, even the cheapest one, are worth hundreds of thousands.

Soon, the gift section was filled with many rare treasures.

"Mr. Pi, what gift did you prepare for the old man?"

Just as everyone was giving gifts, Wang Xingyuan said with some curiosity.

Pi Yangyang shook the gift box in his hand and said with a calm smile, "A piece of peace of mind card."

Wang Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "The gift may be small, but the sentiment is great. It's enough as long as the intention is there."

He saw the gift box in Pi Yangyang's hand. It was so low-class. It was exactly the same as the gift boxes that children give to each other.

This cheap box contains a piece of Wu Shi Pai, so it must not be something high-end.

But he didn't dare to laugh at Pi Yangyang, so he just said that.

Pi Yangyang just smiled and didn't explain.

Wang Xingyuan presented his own calligraphy and paintings, which were also worth over one million.

Pi Yangyang was wondering whether he should directly hand the "Nothing to Do" card to Zhao Gaoming when a man suddenly came in from the door and strode towards him.

"The Tang family in Beijing wishes Mr. Zhao a happy birthday."

Hearing the voice, Pi Yangyang was stunned and looked over curiously.

The person who came was Tang Kexin.

In her hand, she was still holding the gift box that contained the ring she bought at Jubaozhai yesterday.

He immediately understood that Tang Kexin was so anxious to buy the ring yesterday because she wanted to use it as a birthday gift today.

But when she said this, Zhao Fan's expression changed.

He stared at Tang Kexin and asked, "Tang family? I don't think we invited them?"

Some of the guests began to whisper, "Didn't the Tang family have an incident some time ago, angering the Bai family and being suppressed by the Bai family? Hasn't it become difficult for them to move forward?"

"Yes, I heard that the Tang family is on the verge of bankruptcy..."

"Mr. Zhao said he didn't invite the Tang family, so why did this guy say he was from the Tang family to celebrate his birthday?"

"I know her. She is Tang Kexin, the eldest daughter of the Tang family. It seems that she is the reason why the Tang family has fallen into this state..."

"Yes, she stole someone else's recipe and brought back a fake one. The medicine she made harmed the young master of the Bai family. So the Bai family was furious and suppressed the Tang family in all aspects..."

While everyone was discussing this, Tang Kexin said respectfully, "The Tang family was not invited, but as the younger generation, we should come to congratulate Mr. Zhao on his birthday..."

Zhao Fan's face was a little gloomy. He also knew about the Tang family, so he had no good feelings towards them.

He was about to chase Tang Kexin away when Zhao Gaoming said, "Zhao Fan, since she's already here, let her join in..."

Zhao Fan had no choice but to hold it in.

Tang Kexin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly handed over the gift box, saying, "This is a little gift from me. It's a ring that came from the palace of a former Qing prince. I hope you like it!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gaoming's eyes flickered, and he said "Oh", a little excitedly: "Really? Let me see it."
