Scumbag God, I can see the entry of desire.

There are three rules in the ghost market: first, close the stalls before dawn; second, look at the goods without asking the price; and third, look at the goods, not the people.

Lin Lang was surprised to hear that the stall owner was an expert, selling genuine goods and was very tight on the price, so he asked, "Can I pay by credit card?"

The stall owner, sitting on a small stool, replied: "There is a mobile POS machine, but it can only accept savings cards, not credit cards."

Zhou Mengyao pulled the corner of Lin Lang's shirt and whispered, "Dear, you're not really going to spend 50 to buy this piece of black jade?"

Lin Lang pretended to be ignorant and replied: "The boss said that this piece of green jade carving is an ancient jade item from the Qing Dynasty. If you don't want to bargain, you can only buy it at the original price~"

When Zhou Mengyao saw Lin Lang winking at her, she knew that Lin Lang had found another bargain, so she smiled and replied, "As long as you're happy!"

"Handsome boy, you have good eyesight! The ancient jade warding off evil spirits is a magical beast that can bring good luck, fortune, ward off disasters and drive away evil spirits!"

The stall owner couldn't stop smiling, and hurriedly picked up the mobile card POS machine to swipe Lin Lang's bank card.

"Zizi..." The card machine prints a receipt.

Lin Lang signed the receipt, handed over the money and the goods, took the jade carving and bank card from the stall owner, and said, "Goodbye, boss!"

The stall owner couldn't hide his happiness and replied: "It's a pleasure to work with you! I will get new goods in a couple of days, welcome to come again next time!"

"Okay!" Lin Lang put his arm around Zhou Mengyao's slender waist and left.

After leaving the jade stall, Zhou Mengyao asked curiously, "Dear, is this broken jade really worth 50 Chinese yuan?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Lang replied excitedly: "Mengyao, you don't know, this is not some ancient jade from the Qing Dynasty, but a Western Han Dynasty blue jade carving to ward off evil spirits."

The Pixie is a mythical beast in ancient Chinese mythology and legends. It looks like a lion with wings and is a symbol of ferocity and bravery. Legend has it that it has the function of exorcising evil.

Zhou Mengyao exclaimed after hearing this: "Wow~ The ancient jade from the Western Han Dynasty must be very valuable, right?"

Lin Lang replied proudly: "Such a small piece of Western Han Dynasty blue jade carving to ward off evil spirits has a current market collection price of no less than 3000 million Chinese yuan. It is definitely a great item to open the door to."

Zhou Mengyao was surprised and said, "Even if it's a Western Han Dynasty blue jade carving to ward off evil spirits, it can't be worth so much money, right?"

Lin Lang smiled and replied, "Ordinary jade carvings from the Western Han Dynasty to ward off evil spirits are naturally not worth so much money, but this is a royal item. This jade artifact has a warm and delicate texture, crystal clear color, and smooth and natural lines. It is definitely the best jade artifact from the Western Han Dynasty."

Zhou Mengyao was puzzled and asked, "How did you determine that this jade carving was used by the royal family of the Western Han Dynasty?"

“Mengyao, look at this character [奭].” Lin Lang turned over the bottom of the green jade carving to ward off evil spirits and showed it to Zhou Mengyao for her appraisal.

Zhou Mengyao used her cell phone as a flashlight to shine on the bottom of the jade carving to ward off evil spirits and asked, "Is this a pictograph? I don't recognize it~"

Lin Lang pretended to be profound and replied: "The pictograph on the bottom of the jade carving is pronounced as shi. If you are not a professional treasure appraiser, ordinary people will not be able to understand the meaning of this pictograph."

Zhou Mengyao asked curiously: "What does this word [奭] mean? Can it prove its dynasty?"

Lin Lang replied: "The eighth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Yuan of Han, Liu Shi, was the son of Emperor Xuan of Han and Xu Pingjun. He was buried in Weiling, and was posthumously named Emperor Xiaoyuan and his temple name was Emperor Gaozong."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengyao said, "I know this!"

"Emperor Yuan of Han, Liu Shi, was called the gravedigger of the Western Han Dynasty. He pushed the peak of the Western Han Dynasty to the edge of a cliff. Because of his effeminate and cowardly nature, the decline of the Western Han Dynasty began with Emperor Yuan of Han, Liu Shi."

Lin Lang praised: "You have learned history well~"

Zhou Mengyao asked tentatively, "My dear, you don't mean to say that this is the imperial jade carving used by Emperor Yuan of Han, Liu Shi, to ward off evil spirits, right?"

Lin Lang snapped his fingers and replied, "That's right!"

"Taoism was prevalent during the Han Dynasty, and many jade artifacts related to Taoism appeared. The ancients believed that jade carvings could drive away evil spirits, and the emperor was no exception. This green jade carving was used by Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Shi."

Zhou Mengyao exclaimed after hearing this: "Honey, we have made a fortune again!"

Lin Lang smiled proudly and said, "I, your boyfriend, am making money by picking up a bargain. It's as easy as stealing something. Why would I want to be a gigolo?"

Zhou Mengyao held Lin Lang's arm like a little bird, and playfully joked: "You are just a gigolo, okay? Let's go home now!"

Lin Lang asked: "You don't want to continue picking up bargains in the ghost market?"

Zhou Mengyao smiled and replied, "I want to go back to the Zhou residence right now and ask my dad to appraise the small glass jar and the jade carving to ward off evil spirits. Did I really get such a big bargain?!"

"Hey……"

"Mengyao, you still don't believe in my ability to identify treasures and find bargains?"

Zhou Mengyao replied, "I believe in your ability to identify treasures and find bargains, but I want my dad to estimate the price, and by the way, I want him to be happy that his beloved apprentice is so good at finding bargains!"

"All right!"

"Then let's go home now!" Lin Lang kissed Zhou Mengyao's beautiful little face.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Lang drove the Ferrari convertible sports car and took Zhou Mengyao away from the ghost market in Longhai Old Street.

The bright red Ferrari convertible sports car looks particularly dazzling on the streets at night, and the roar of the engine is very pleasant to the ear.

"Buzz..."

On the road, Lin Lang felt the thrill and excitement brought by speed, but he also remained vigilant at all times to ensure the safety of co-pilot Zhou Mengyao.

Zhou Mengyao sat in the passenger seat. The night wind ruffled her long hair, but she was still beautiful.

"Wuhu..."

“Today is such a happy and unforgettable birthday!”

Zhou Mengyao looked at the night scene passing by quickly outside the window and felt very happy taking a ride with Lin Lang on the neon-lit streets of Yihai.

The car sped all the way and soon arrived at Zhou's villa.

The Zhou family’s luxurious villa is located in the wealthy area of ​​​​Lianhai City. It is surrounded by a tree-lined garden and the community security is famously good.

Lin Lang parked the car in the underground parking lot of Zhou's villa, then got out and gentlemanly opened the door for Zhou Mengyao.

"Princess, please get out of the car!"

Zhou Mengyao got out of the car gracefully, holding Lin Lang's arm sweetly and intimately, and the two walked into the Zhou villa together. As soon as they entered the door, what caught their eyes was a museum-like place with all kinds of antiques and curios displayed everywhere.

Although the Zhou family’s residence is so luxurious that they have no friends, it provides Lin Lang with family warmth.

"Miss and Mr. Lin are back?!" Aunt Mei, the maid, came over to greet them.

While changing into slippers, Zhou Mengyao asked, "Where's my dad?"

Aunt Mei, the maid, replied, "The master is in the study, writing an expert paper on antique appraisal."

Then, Zhou Mengyao took Lin Lang's arm and moved to the second floor, and came to Zhou Zhongdang's private study, where they saw Zhou Zhongdang typing on a laptop computer, writing "Six-Dimensional, Eighteen-Step, and Ten-Theory Method of Cultural Relics Identification."

"Dad, why are you so hardworking when you're not sleeping so late at night?!" Zhou Mengyao smiled sweetly.

Zhou Zhongdang glanced over and saw Zhou Mengyao walking into the study room with her apprentice Lin Lang. He immediately took off his glasses and said, "Hey, my dear daughter is back! Did you have fun with Alang?"

Zhou Mengyao replied playfully: "Happy! Of course I am happy! And it is full of surprises!"

Lin Lang greeted: "Hello, Master!"

Zhou Zhongdang laughed loudly and asked, "What surprises are there?"

“Double surprise!”

"Lin Lang and I found a bargain at the ghost market in the old street of Longhai and bought two treasures. This is one of them. Dad, please take a look at it!"

Zhou Mengyao placed the green jade carving of evil spirits in her hand on her father Zhou Zhongdang's computer desk.

"Oh?"

Zhou Zhongdang teased, "You two little ghosts actually went to the ghost market in Longhai Old Street to pick up bargains. Why didn't you bring your father with you?!"

"Dad, we're going on a date, do you still want to be a third wheel?"

Zhou Zhongdang smiled and picked up the jade carving to ward off evil spirits. He looked at it carefully with his naked eyes and exclaimed: "This should be an ancient jade from Dakaimen! How much did you pay for it?"

"To reply to Master, it cost 500,000 Chinese Yuan."

After hearing this, Zhou Zhongdang smiled and said, "Master, please put on your glasses and let me help you judge the jade. If it is an ordinary ancient jade, you will pay too much for it~"

After Zhou Zhongdang put on his glasses, he used a professional high-intensity flashlight for treasure appraisal and carefully looked at the green jade carving of warding off evil spirits. The relaxed and smiling expression on his face instantly turned serious.

"Oh..."

"Hurry up and give me the magnifying glass. I think you might have found a great bargain!"

Lin Lang hurriedly handed the magnifying glass in the treasure appraisal tool bar to his master Zhou Zhongdang.

Zhou Zhongdang used a magnifying glass and a strong flashlight to examine the pictograph of the jade carving on the bottom of the evil-repelling carving. He was shocked and said, "Oh my God!"

"Alang, you and Mengyao actually found a bargain at the ghost market in the old street of Haihai and bought a jade carving used by the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty to ward off evil spirits!"

“This is a shocking leak!”

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a jade carving of a warding off evil spirit that was used by Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Shi!"

"This is a national treasure-level cultural relic and antique!"

After hearing this, Lin Lang smiled and said, "Mengyao, do you think the Master's appraisal result is the same as what I said?"

"Yeah~"

"My dear, you are amazing!"

"You are indeed worthy of being the last disciple of treasure appraiser Zhou Zhongdang, hehe..."

Zhou Zhongdang held a Western Han Dynasty jade sculpture to ward off evil spirits in his hand, his eyes sparkling with surprise, and exclaimed: "My disciple, you are so lucky, aren't you? You actually found such a great treasure at the ghost market in the old street of Haihai!"

Lin Lang chuckled and said, "Mengyao asked me to take her to visit the ghost market in Longhai Old Street, and I accidentally found a big bargain."

Zhou Mengyao asked curiously, "Dad, please give me an estimate. How much is this jade carving used by Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Shi, to ward off evil spirits worth?"

Zhou Zhongdang replied with an exaggerated expression: "The current market collection price is at least 3500 million Chinese Yuan. If it is auctioned at an auction house in Hong Kong Island, the auction price will most likely exceed 5000 million Chinese Yuan."

"Wow~"

Zhou Mengyao exclaimed, "My dear, my dad's appraisal price for this Western Han Dynasty blue jade carving of evil spirits is actually higher than your appraisal of 3000 million Chinese yuan. You really picked up a super bargain!"

Lin Lang smiled and said, "I already said your birthday is my lucky day!"

Zhou Zhongdang couldn't let it go and said, "Alang, you can't sell this rare treasure. I will transfer 50 million to you. This jade carving used by Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Shi, to ward off evil spirits, I will treasure it and never let this national treasure be lost overseas."

Lin Lang said generously: "Master, if you like it, this Western Han Dynasty blue jade carving to ward off evil spirits will be presented to you by your disciple as a gift!"

“One thing is one thing. How can a teacher take advantage of a junior?” Zhou Zhongdang took out a checkbook from his body, filled out a transfer check for 5000 million Chinese yuan, and handed it to Lin Lang.

Lin Lang said politely, "No need, Master."

Zhou Zhongdang, however, thrust the transfer check at Lin Lang and said with a smile, “Silly boy, take it!”

"Uh... Master, why have I become a fool?"

"You're a fool if you don't want the money. Put the check away quickly." Zhou Meng stuffed the check into Lin Lang's trouser pocket.

"Haha..." Lin Lang laughed.

Zhou Zhongdang teased, "Hey...daughter, you haven't even gotten married yet! And you've already started to side with your husband!"

Zhou Mengyao joked, "Dad, the rare treasures collected by three generations of our Zhou family will be inherited by Lin Lang and me sooner or later. There's nothing wrong with me being loyal to my future husband, don't you think?"

Zhou Zhongdang laughed at himself, "Alas, having a daughter is like being unfaithful. It seems that my father has been obsessed with collecting antiques all his life, and in the end, all these rare treasures have been passed down to someone else, Lin?!"

"Hehe..." Zhou Mengyao smiled sweetly and playfully.

"Uh……"

Lin Lang laughed awkwardly: "Master, I don't have such an idea."

"Haha..." Zhou Zhongdang laughed loudly.

Then, Zhou Mengyao placed the small glass jar that Lin Lang found on her father Zhou Zhongdang's computer desk and said with a smile, "Dad, this is the second surprise that Lin Lang and I found at the ghost market tonight. Please take a look at it."
