The stall was filled with all kinds of strange things. There were antique calligraphy, paintings, jade, ancient coins, and so on. The workmanship was very exquisite. The stall owner hurriedly greeted Jian Xing’er, “What antiques do you want to buy? I have all sorts of things here!” Jian Xing’er didn’t say anything and picked up a jade pendant to look at. There was a circle of ancient patterns on the jade pendant, and there was some soil in the sunken patterns. No matter how one looked at it, it was an old item. “You have good taste!” The stall owner smiled and said, “This jade pendant is a treasure of the Ming Dynasty. It’s said to have been passed down from the royal family. It’s very rare.
Previously, many people asked around, but they weren’t fated with this jade pendant, so I kept it until now. I can tell at a glance that you’re fated with this jade pendant. If you want it, I’ll give you a starting price of 200,0000 yuan… If you buy it, you’ll definitely thank me in the future!” Jane Xing’er couldn’t hold back her laughter. At first glance, she realized that this jade pendant was a modern product, and simply put, it was a fake. Jian Xing’er studied medicine since childhood, and often dealt with a variety of mountain herbs, so her five senses and sense of touch were extremely sensitive, far more than ordinary people. Just now, she smelled a faint herbal scent on this jade pendant. In order to scam people and make the jade pendant look old, the owner soaked it with medicinal water. Moreover, when she held it in her hand, she felt that the weight and texture of the jade pendant were off, so it definitely couldn’t be a thousand-year-old jade.
Jian Xing’er knew very well that this was a fake. It couldn’t even be considered a piece of jade. It was artificially synthesized! At most, it was worth ten yuan. “If you continue to hesitate, it will be bought by others. There have been many people asking about it these few days!” The stall owner advised. “I can tell at a glance that you’re someone who doesn’t lack money. To be able to drive such an expensive luxury car, 200,000 yuan is nothing to you. Believe me. If you buy it with 200,000 yuan, its value will definitely double in three to five years at most. At that time, you’ll make a fortune!”

At this moment, an old man suddenly rushed out of the crowd and said to the boss with a smile, “It’s all thanks to you. Guess what happened to the calligraphy you sold me last time? The price of the hundred thousand yuan calligraphy increased tenfold in three months! A few days ago, I bought a car for my son and daughter! I specifically came to thank you today!” As soon as he said this, the surrounding people looked at the old man in unison. Nine hundred thousand yuan might be twenty or even thirty years’ worth of income for many people. The stall owner secretly glanced at Jian Xing’er to see her reaction. Seeing that Jian Xing’er wasn’t excited at all, he hurriedly retracted his gaze.
For people in the antique business, it was very important to have good judgment. The stall owner was obviously experienced. “Can you lend me the jade pendant in your hand to take a look?” The old man’s eyes suddenly flickered as he stared at the jade pendant in Jian Xing’er’s hand. “Here.” After Jian Xing’er handed the jade pendant in her hand to the old man, the old man took the jade pendant and sized it up several times under the sunlight. Then, he pondered over it and said, “This is really a treasure that can only be chanced upon by luck…” Everyone’s gaze was attracted by the jade pendant in the old man’s hand. As the old man stroked the jade pendant, he said thoughtfully, “This jade pendant came from the Ming Dynasty. From the pattern and workmanship, it’s an official product! How about you sell it to me for 400,000 yuan?!”
The old man took out his bank card and handed it to the boss. “1’11 add another 50,000, 450,000. Is that enough?” The stall owner looked conflicted. Then, he secretly sized up Jian Xing’er from the corner of his eye. Jian Xing’er noticed his gaze and sneered silently. The antique world was really shady. This old man was obviously an actor hired by the boss to make her buy the jade pendant. First, the old man deliberately shouted loudly to attract the attention of others while saying that the value of the things bought from the stall owner had increased by ten times. Then, he pretended to take a fancy to the jade pendant in Jian Xing’er’s hand and raised the price. In such a situation, many newbies would be deceived and snatch the jade pendant. The stall owner would pretend to be very conflicted and tell the old man that someone had already taken a fancy to this jade pendant. Then, he would pretend to argue with the old man..
