Burning down my ex-husband's house! I won't raise these bastard children anymore

Chapter 162: Double Dragon Patterned Bronze Mirror

Gu Mobai nodded and followed her into the courtyard.

He slowly walked into the living room, his slender fingers gently stroking the texture of the tables and chairs, feeling it carefully while speaking:

"The material of these tables and chairs must be sandalwood. Look at the texture, it is delicate and warm, the grain is clear and regular, and the color is calm and elegant. It must have been carefully carved and polished by skilled craftsmen.

Sandalwood is precious and rare. Such high-quality sandalwood tables and chairs are worth a lot of money both in terms of craftsmanship and the scarcity of the material itself.

This set of tables and chairs is quite nice, you should put it away!"

Lin Panpan looked at him and said, "Gu Mobai, you actually know about antiques?"

“I know a little bit, mainly because my old man likes to collect these things.

"I have a courtyard at home, and it's filled with all these random things that the old man collected." Gu Mobai said casually.

Lin Panpan quickly said:

"Then you can help me see if there is anything valuable in my house!

Oh, by the way, I also received some things today, can you help me take a look at them too?"

She slowly took out the things from the snakeskin bag. Gu Mobai looked at her and asked, "How much did you pay for these things?"

"It's not much, only about 2000 yuan. I just don't know if these things are real or fake."

Gu Mobai looked at her with a half-smile and said:

“You’re quite courageous, collecting things you don’t understand!

I'll help you check it out today, but the light is so dim I can't see it."

"Then let's go to the study. The light in the study is brighter." Lin Panpan took him directly to the study.

Gu Mobai leaned over and approached the silver ingots, his eyes revealing concentration and professionalism.

He gently picked up one and examined it carefully in his palm. The silver ingot shone with a cool luster under the light.

"This silver ingot is of pure quality, with clear and neat official seals on the bottom and sides. It is truly made by the government.

Silver prices are fluctuating now, but a single silver ingot is still worth five or six hundred yuan."

Putting down the silver ingot, he turned to face the pair of vases.

The glaze on the bottle is as warm and smooth as jade, emitting a faint halo in the darkness:

"This pair of vases is a treasure from the Song Dynasty. Look at the delicate porcelain, the glaze is green with a hint of blue, just like the clear sky after the rain.

The patterns on the bottle are exquisite and elegant, and every curve demonstrates the superb skills and unique aesthetics of Song Dynasty craftsmen.

In the antique market, it will surely attract the attention and competition of many experts.

This vase alone could fetch tens of thousands of yuan, but I think it's best not to sell antiques these days. It looks like you've already made a profit."

Lin Panpan didn't expect Gu Mobai to have such a thorough understanding of antiques. He lowered his head and looked at Lin Panpan and said:

"Do you think I know a lot? I've been exposed to all this since I was little.

My grandfather has been with me since I was a child, and I basically know everything he knows.

Actually, I also like collecting. Tomorrow I will show you my collection room."

Lin Panpan nodded quickly. She loved collecting so much that when she heard Gu Mobai say that, she naturally wanted to go and see it for herself.

Gu Mobai continued to lower his head and looked at the last bronze mirror.

"This bronze mirror is quite well preserved. It has a double dragon pattern. It's quite good. I think it can be sold for around 10,000 or 20,000 yuan!

It’s just that these things must have been dug out from an ancient tomb.”

"Do you still understand this?"

Gu Mobai smiled faintly: "I've met all kinds of people before, and of course I know a lot of local scholars."

"Huh? You also know the tomb robber?" Lin Panpan was quite curious about Gu Mobai.

It stands to reason that someone like Gu Mobai would not know all these people, but he is different from ordinary noblemen.

Gu Mobai smiled faintly and said:

"Yes! I have been to a tomb before, but I didn't go there to rob it.

I was young at the time, and out of curiosity, I followed a few tomb raiders to visit the tomb."

"Tsk tsk tsk... your experience is really amazing."

"No, it's mainly because my grandfather knows a lot of people."

Lin Panpan looked at him and said, "Then your parents won't care about you?"

Gu Mobai sighed and said:

"I am not very close to my parents. They are away from home all year round and rarely come home.

I was raised by my grandfather, so I learned almost all of his skills."

Lin Panpan looked at him with sympathy, and Gu Mobai smiled and said:

"I am not the only one in my family. I also have a younger sister and a younger brother, and my parents favor them more.

You don't have to sympathize with me. My grandfather is very good to me, and I feel very happy to be with him.

And my uncle loves me very much, he treats me like his own son."

"Okay! Every family has its own problems. Take a look at my study and see if there is anything valuable there?" Lin Panpan changed the subject.

Gu Mobai looked at the two paintings on the wall and said:

"This family has quite a rich heritage. This is Zhang Daqian's Splash Ink Landscape Painting.

On the picture, ink and colors blend freely, and the mountains appear and disappear between the heavy color rendering and the light ink outline, which has both majestic momentum and ethereal remoteness.

The other is Qi Baishi's "Album of Flowers, Birds, Insects and Herbs," in which the flowers, birds, insects and herbs come alive on the paper. They are both quite good and highly collectible."

Lin Panpan was overjoyed: "Are you saying these two paintings are real?"

"Yes, these two paintings are real, and they can be sold at a high price based on the current market conditions." Gu Mobai looked at them for a long time before saying this.

The bottles in the study weren't valuable. He looked at the books on the shelf and said, "These books are quite good. Judging from the paper, they are all unique copies."

Lin Panpan was very satisfied, the money was not wasted!

This house alone can make her a lot of money in the future, and with these antiques, it will make her a rich person.

The fastest way to make money after traveling back in time is to pick up junk and antiques.

Adding her silver coins and ancient coins, she is already considered a wealthy woman.

However, she doesn't want to sell these antiques. It's purely a hobby. When the market value is higher in the future, she may sell some of them.

She is still mainly making snacks. Gu Mobai looked at her and said, "It's late today, so I'll go home first. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, and you can visit my house then."

"Okay..." Lin Panpan was still quite happy.

She sent Gu Mobai straight to the door, and saw Zhou Jun standing there, his face full of disbelief. "Lin Panpan, this is indeed your home. You were able to buy such a big house. How...how did you do it?"

Zhao Damei also came over with Zhou Fang and Zhou Yan and said, "Great! You woman are really shameless. You actually brought other men home."
