Chapter 55

Cai Yuan looked at Professor Qin and said, "The professor introduced you like this. He refused to say your name, only telling us that the owner of the Yuan blue-and-white porcelain is a young and handsome prince."

Yang Kang couldn't help but look at Professor Qin. Professor Qin was a good person, generous and righteous, but as Tang Chen said, anyone in the antique business had some quirks, and Professor Qin was no exception.

"If I tell you, the door of Ruyi Workshop will be crowded with people," Professor Qin said. "And you should all be grateful to me! If I were to tell you, you wouldn't even have the chance to see it, as Boss Tang would have already taken it."

Everyone thought about it and realized it was true. Tang Chen and Yang Kang were good friends, and if Tang Chen had known that the owner of the Yuan blue-and-white "Mozi Rescues Song" patterned jar was Yang Kang, he would have privately bought it long ago, leaving them no chance to see or bid on it.

"Prince, do you have any other porcelain in your collection?" Cai Yuan asked in a low voice. "Can you show it to me?"

"I have a blue-and-white bowl from the Kangxi period. Do you have any interest, Mr. Cai?" Yang Kang asked. This Qing Kangxi blue-and-white bowl was something he had recently acquired from the Confucius Temple area. He wanted to buy Yuzhenzhai, but he didn't have the money.

Whether it was the Yuan blue-and-white "Mozi Rescues Song" patterned jar or the Wu Zhen's "New Bamboo" painting, they should officially belong to Fat Guo, not him.

Although Fat Guo had solemnly promised that they were his, Yang Kang still felt that he was just a middleman.

"Oh?" Cai Yuan, hearing this, was very interested and hurriedly said, "Can I see it?"

"Sure, sit down, and I'll go get it from upstairs." Yang Kang said and immediately went upstairs.

Watching him walk up the stairs, Zhou Bomin suddenly called out, "Yang Kang, can I see your collection?"

He had been good friends with Yang Chongxuan in the past and naturally knew Yang Kang well. After Yang Chongxuan's death, he had always taken good care of Yang Kang. What he couldn't understand was that just over a month ago, Yang Kang was still running around for a job that paid a few thousand yuan a month, living in the basement of Jiang Yan's house, and being bullied by the Jiang family.

Now, how long had it been, and where did he get all these things?

Last time, Yang Kang gave him a late Qing imitation Xuande furnace for 150,000 yuan. If he resold it, he could make at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and with good luck, even 100,000 yuan. He knew this was Yang Kang repaying his favor, and he accepted it.

But he was still very curious.

Yang Kang looked at Zhou Bomin with some difficulty. If anyone else had made this request, he would have refused immediately. But for Zhou Bomin, who had once helped him, he found it hard to say no. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Uncle Zhou, in a few days."

Hearing this, Zhou Bomin smiled and said nothing more.

"Hey, Old Zhou, do you think the young prince has any other rare porcelain?" Mo Ming suddenly asked.

"I haven't seen it, how would I know?" Zhou Bomin shook his head.

"I think he does!" Professor Qin suddenly remembered what Yang Kang had said last time and couldn't help but say.

Everyone's eyes turned to Professor Qin, who was immediately stunned, realizing he had said something he shouldn't. He immediately slapped himself and cursed, "You talk too much!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Old Qin, we're all friends. Since the young prince isn't here, why don't you tell us what else he has? Don't worry, we won't force him to sell," Wang Chunping hurriedly said.

"Exactly!" Cai Yuan was also very curious and quickly agreed.

"Right, tell us quickly," Lu Mingxiang and Gu Ping also asked.

At this point, Professor Qin felt he had no choice but to speak. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Last time we chatted, he mentioned it casually—so, I'm just guessing, it's not certain."

"We know you're guessing, it's not certain," Tang Chen said. "Just tell us, don't keep us in suspense." As he spoke, his eyes fell on a high table inside, where five packages of medicine were still unopened... the child probably hadn't taken the medicine.

"I think, since he so readily gave up the Yuan blue-and-white, he must have other Yuan dynasty porcelain," Professor Qin said.

"Other Yuan dynasty porcelain?" Cai Yuan asked curiously. "What other porcelain from the Yuan dynasty?"

"Ji Lan glaze!" Professor Qin said. "Also, he probably has Qing Qianlong coral red glaze, so he's not very interested in blue-and-white."

In recent years, Ming and Qing porcelain has become popular. A Qianlong coral red glaze and gold-decorated porcelain, if it has a beautiful shape, bright and vivid color, and no damage, can also be worth a fortune, not much less than Yuan blue-and-white.

As for Ji Lan glaze, if it is in good condition, it is priceless and cannot be estimated.

Fat Guo drove an old van to the door of Ruyi Workshop and found several very luxurious, brand new cars parked there, making it difficult to find a place to park. He had to park behind a Porsche, then he carried an old cardboard box from the van and walked into Ruyi Workshop.

From the multi-treasure cabinet, he saw about ten people sitting or standing in the living room, but none of them were Yang Kang.

Fat Guo frowned and stepped out, standing at the door, looking at the sign for Ruyi Workshop. He hadn't come to the wrong place, had he?

So, he walked back into Ruyi Workshop.

"What are you doing here?" Wang Qiying came out and coldly asked Fat Guo.

"I collect junk!" Fat Guo answered honestly.

"There's no junk to collect here, leave quickly," Wang Qiying said, thinking this person didn't look like a good person, sneaking around, probably up to no good.

"I know there's no junk to collect here, so I'm not here to collect junk. I'm looking for someone. Excuse me, is the young prince... oh, no, he's called Yang Kang, here?" Fat Guo frowned and asked, wondering why so many people were gathered at Ruyi Workshop.

"Are you looking for Yang Kang? Do you know him?" Wang Qiying frowned again and asked.

Just then, Yang Kang came down from upstairs with the Kangxi blue-and-white bowl. Before he could reach the bottom of the stairs, he heard Fat Guo's voice and was immediately delighted. He quickly ran down the stairs and placed the bowl on the desk, calling out, "Fatso!"

Seeing Yang Kang, Fat Guo was also very happy and hurriedly said, "Young prince, I brought you a vase." He then placed the cardboard box against the wall behind the desk.

Then, this fat man began to look Yang Kang up and down.

Yang Kang felt a bit depressed under his gaze. Was there something wrong with his clothes today? Oh, no, did he forget to zip up his pants after using the bathroom upstairs? He couldn't help but look down, but his clothes were neatly dressed, with no embarrassing issues.
