I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"There were a total of twenty people competing for ten items. First come first served. Fortunately, I reacted quickly!" Brother Han was full of pride, but he didn't know that he had fallen into an elaborate scam.

"What's there to be proud of? This is also a fake, right, Fifth Brother?"

As a careful bystander, the eldest sister of the Han family still caught the subtle changes in Han Chunming's expression.

If it was a real treasure, his expression would never be so solemn.

"Sister, I think you are jealous. Fifth brother, this antique of mine comes with an appraisal certificate, how could it be fake?"

Hearing what Sister Han said, Brother Han immediately looked displeased and hoped that Chunming could clear his name.

"Brother, there is no signature or seal on your certificate. It is a forged certificate of identification."

"The certificates are all fake? What about the bottle? Fifth brother, you look at it very carefully!"

Han Chunming said it all, but Han Erge was still skeptical.

"The counterfeiter used a new glaze on the old porcelain vase. The porcelain itself is from the late Qing Dynasty. After the re-glazing, it must be said that the technique is very advanced!"

Old body with new glaze is based on the white body from the mid-to-late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period, and then painted with overglaze colors such as pastels to enhance its value.

Since it was indeed a forgery and was accompanied by an authentication certificate, Han Chunming decided to investigate the matter further.

"Fake? Not really? I remember that person came from the Foley Auction House. The certificates of the other people were in the same format. Some of them even lived in our alley!"

Brother Han had previously firmly believed that the antiques were real, but now he found it difficult to accept the reality.

"Fifth brother, if you don't believe me, we can go to Changze Appraisal Office for another appraisal and compare the two certificates to see what the difference is."

Han Chunming made suggestions.

"Fifth brother, let's take our Phoenix Tail Bottle to Changze Appraisal Office for appraisal!"

Brother Han still felt a little unwilling to give up his phoenix-tail bottle. After all, he spent a full 50,000 yuan on it!

If they didn't know that the director of Changze Museum was Han Chunming's master, they would not have asked him to do the appraisal.

"Yes, if it doesn't work, ask your master to take a look. Maybe you are wrong!"

Sister Han became eager to try again.

"Can't you just spare my fifth brother? You asked him to make an appraisal just now, but now you don't believe his judgment."

Han Erjie couldn't bear to watch it and couldn't help but say something fair for Han Chunming.

When others tricked them into buying antiques, they believed everything; now that Han Chunming was speaking with certainty, they were all skeptical.

They also invited Master Chunming, as if they were not the ones in trouble.

"You've made enough noise, that's enough.

It's New Year's Day, put those broken bottles aside and have a good meal! "

Han's mother stepped in to help Han Chunming out of trouble.

She knows her son best. Even if others don’t believe it, she does!

When she heard the tens of thousands of dollars, her heart couldn't help but tremble.

It’s just that it’s New Year now, so we shouldn’t say anything too harsh.

"That's right. We haven't eaten much today. Let's fill our stomachs first and then talk about this in detail at the dinner table!"

Han Chunming took the opportunity to change the subject. Since it had been clearly pointed out that it was a fake, he didn't want to dwell on it any further.

"Fifth brother, you said you would accompany me to Changze Auction House for appraisal. Do you still mean what you said?"

Brother Han has not yet completely let it go.

"If you don't mention antiques tonight, you can take your belongings to Changze Appraisal Office tomorrow. Is that ok?"

Han Chunming had no choice but to make this promise.

"Then you must keep your word!"

"I won't mention it tonight."

"Okay, let's eat first!"

After hearing what Han Chunming said, the brothers and sisters were finally willing to put aside the dispute for the time being.

Now, they can only hope that a miracle will happen during tomorrow's appraisal!

On New Year’s Eve, in addition to enjoying the New Year’s Eve dinner, there is also the custom of staying up all night.

After dinner, the family chatted to pass the time.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the night sky, and a ball of colorful light quickly rose into the sky. With a "bang", a flower bloomed in the air. The flower then split into countless small points of light, brightly illuminating the night sky.

The sudden fireworks attracted the attention of everyone in the yard, and everyone went out to watch.

"Silly dad, come out and see, someone is setting off fireworks!"

In the next courtyard, Xiaodang also noticed the fireworks and called out to Shazhu.

Shazhu walked out slowly.

"Who is setting off fireworks?"

Sha Zhu watched for a while and was amazed to see that the fireworks continued to bloom.

You know, it's not easy for a family like this to afford to set off fireworks, not to mention that most people only set off two or three fireworks. It's rare to set off fireworks continuously for a long time like this.

"I don't know, silly dad, let's go buy some fireworks tomorrow!"

"Okay, let's go for a walk on the street tomorrow."

Sha Zhu readily agreed.

"Look at how you look like you've never seen the world."

Banggeng also walked out of the house. Only in front of Xiaodang and Huaihua did he seem a little proud.

"Brother, you'd better stop bragging and find a proper job first!"

Xiaodang curled his lips, knowing full well that Banggeng still had to rely on his family for support, but he was still overambitious.

"How do you talk to your brother?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately scolded Xiao Dang.

Xiaodang quietly hid behind Shazhu and continued to watch the fireworks, silent at this moment.

In the Ye family courtyard, Lou Xiao'e was watching Ye Ming setting off fireworks.

She is enjoying the New Year's Eve dinner at Ye Ming's home tonight. Since she has no relatives in this old city, it feels lonely to celebrate the New Year alone.

After getting Ran Qiuye's consent, Ye Ming invited her to celebrate the New Year together.

"Dad, I want to play that too!" Ye Ming had been setting off fireworks, and the boy next to him was excited and eager to try.

Lou Xiao'e looked at this heartwarming scene, with a warm glow in her eyes.

"Children are always so lively and active!" Ran Qiuye spoke to Lou Xiaoe with a smile.

"As a boy, Zixuan is very well-behaved." Lou Xiao'e glanced at Ye Zixuan in Ran Qiuye's arms again, her eyes full of doting.

"It's so beautiful!" Ye Zixuan's ears were covered by Ran Qiuye. She opened her eyes wide, looked up at the night sky, and exclaimed in a childish voice.

Hearing Ye Ze's words, Ye Ming handed the incense in his hand to him.

"I'm going to start!" Ye Ze took the incense and excitedly imitated Ye Ming to light a firework.

With a loud "bang", colorful fireworks bloomed in the night sky.

At this moment, the sound of firecrackers rang out throughout the city, coinciding with midnight and the new year has arrived.

Only Ye Ming and Ran Qiuye stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year, while other families had their own different situations.

Xu Damao returned to his hometown in the countryside and has not yet married, which makes his parents worried. Even though he has given out a lot of money, his parents are still concerned about the important matter of continuing the family line.

Liu Haizhong went to his eldest son Liu Guangqi's home to celebrate the festival. Initially, the couple was not very enthusiastic about him.

But when he took out 10,000 yuan, the couple immediately became extremely filial, and even the second aunt stopped being busy and overworked.
