C498 Mourning
When Yang Bo walked behind Gao Lin, he noticed that Gao Lin's neck was slightly trembling, as if he was trying very hard to force himself not to look back.
"Gao Lin."
Yang Bo called out, Gao Lin turned and looked over, "Young Master Cui, what a coincidence, you have also come to the Palace!"
Yang Bo laughed coldly and forcefully poured the wine cup in his hand onto Gao Lin's face. Gao Lin could not help but close his eyes.
"Crash!"
With a crisp sound, everyone looked over, they saw the cup in Yang Bo's hand smashing onto his head, "Stop doing all these small tricks, don't think that just because the Guo Family is given to you, you can do whatever you want. You have to understand, your foundation is in the mainland!"
Yang Bo snorted coldly, turned and left.
Walking back to his seat, Yang Bo knocked on the table and said, "Why are you still looking, are you staying to get beaten?"
Luo Qing reacted and immediately stood up and followed Yang Bo.
Returning to his room, Yang Bo heaved a sigh of relief. However, he was still thinking how he could completely subdue Gao Lin, otherwise, it would be troublesome. Even if it was a small fry, it would still be a stumbling block.
On the second day, Yang Bo and Luo Qing sat in Lu Donghsing's car, and they headed towards the lotus path.
Lu Donghsing turned his head to look at Yang Bo, "You displayed your divine might last night!"
Yang Bo frowned, "How did you hear about this?"
Lu Donghsing laughed, "This kind of thing happens very quickly. I have a friend who just happened to be drinking wine on the roof last night, and seeing how you destroyed others' grace, he asked me about your identity!"
"Oh, they think I'm very arrogant?" Yang Bo asked.
"What a drizzle. There are so many underworld characters around the Hong Kong government. I've seen a lot of fights, but people would still be curious about what's happening when they see a gentle man fighting!" Lu Donghsing said.
Yang Bo laughed and shook his head, "He caused trouble for me last night, why would I look for him if I didn't want to get involved?"
Lu Donghsing nodded and did not ask any further.
Hong Kong Prefecture is a world-famous antiques collection and trading center and one of the Asian art international trading centers represented by Chinese cultural relics. Every year, antiques auctions in Hong Kong attract many Chinese and foreign tourists to bid for them. The prices they offer frequently break the record for Chinese cultural relics.
Holiday Street was the first street to be built since the port opened. The street was filled with the words "Xuan" or "Yu". One could tell that they had arrived at Antique Street. It is said that this street is the first street since the opening of Hong Kong, where there are many shops selling porcelain jade, jewelry, stone furniture, calligraphy and painting, etc., with a meticulous and professional division of labour. Even the small sweet and water shop seemed to have a quaint atmosphere.
Lu Donghsing made the bodyguards follow behind the three of them to protect them. Then, the three of them started to walk around the block.
There were more than a hundred shops on the road, and each one of them had their own area. The antique shop's surface was small, about ten square meters, with some miniature shops, and only a one-meter square counter. It could only be considered a stall, while the shop's surface was big.
No matter the size of the door, the interior was quiet and elegant, and there were many kinds of antiques. In addition to the furniture, scrolls, ceramics and other antiques of the "Chinese Style", there were also ancient electric fans, phonographs, watches, pens, lighters, etc., as well as gold and silver jewelry, lacquers, and other antiques from Japan, Thailand, and other countries.
Until now, Yang Bo had made very few moves. On the other hand, Lu Donghsing had ten billion on him, but facing several tens or even hundreds of items, it was still very interesting.
Luo Qing was obviously curious, she had heard Yang Bo mention this before, that he was a cultural relic collector, but when she came here, facing so many antiques that filled her eyes, she suddenly felt dizzy.
It wasn't easy to get his eyes on something, and Luo Qing would eagerly look for Yang Bo to appraise it, but without question, all of this was for nothing.
The three of them walked into a shop called the "Bo Ya Xuan". The shop was rather spacious and had tables and chairs for resting. The three of them sat down, and a moment later, an apprentice served tea.
The owner was a middle-aged man in his forties with very small eyes. His eyes were narrowed and hidden behind his glasses, giving him the appearance of a cunning businessman.
Lu Donghsing was tired, so he said to the owner: "Take out a few good items that are hidden in the shop, let's take a look!"
The owner smiled and asked, "What type do you want? Porcelain painting, jade jewelry, bronze equipment?"
Lu Donghsing hesitated, "I plan to buy a painting to send as a gift, take this painting!"
"Good. We have Tang Bohu, Zhu Qiushan, Eight Great Mountains Man, and Zheng Banqiao over here!" The boss said.
In next to no time, the boss had brought over several painting scrolls, which he gently spread out and placed in front of the three people.
Lu Donghsing put on the gloves and looked at it carefully.
Yang Bo glanced at it, and he lost all interest in it. In fact, when he heard the boss boasting, Yang Bo knew that the owner would definitely not take out good things. As expected, they were all fake!
Lu Donghsing watched the scene with interest. Yang Bo did not disturb him and continued to stroll in the store.
After walking around, Yang Bo did not find anything. He raised his head and looked at the decorations inside the shop.
The calligraphy and paintings had been mounted and hung some distance from the walls to prevent moisture.
Yang Bo looked at it for a bit, just as he was about to tell Lu Donghsing to leave, a light suddenly flashed before his eyes, and he couldn't help but size up the painting in front of him.
What surprised Yang Bo was that he actually saw that there were two levels of brilliance on top of this calligraphy piece. The thinner layer should have been from the Qianlong period, the deeper layer should have been able to be dated back to even earlier times, almost reaching the two Jin period!
Uncover the painting!
Yang Bo instantly came to a conclusion. To be able to preserve a painting by ripping it apart, it definitely was not an ordinary painting.
Yang Bo stared intently at the calligraphy, his vision gradually becoming clearer. He should stick closely to the drawing paper and coincide the handwriting with it, making it difficult for Yang Bo to determine what was inside.
However, he was immediately stunned. The words overlapped!
A lost invitation!
During the Jin Dynasty!
All of these added together made Yang Bo feel as if his body was going to explode. His face instantly flushed red.
After calming his breathing a little, Yang Bo sat down and drank two mouthfuls of tea, feeling that his heart was still violently beating!
After a long while, Yang Bo pointed to the calligraphy on the wall and asked the owner, "How much for this calligraphy?"
"This is a family heirloom, it's not for sale." The owner shook his head.
Yang Bo frowned, he felt that the boss was intentionally raising the price.
"Boss, I really like this painting. I've been looking for an ancient copy of 'Bewildering Post'. I didn't expect to find one here." Yang Bo said.
