Gu Xiang unconsciously stroked her bag, with an indescribable joy in her eyebrows and eyes.

  It's not yet payday, but Zheng boss gave her a thick envelope in the morning, saying it was a bonus after selling the rhinoceros horn cup.

  For this sudden surprise, Gu Mei was caught off guard and just stared blankly at Boss Zheng. It wasn't until Jin Ge teased her a few times with a smile that she finally came back to her senses.

  It's not her fault, normally speaking, even if there is a bonus after selling the goods, it should be paid together with the salary. Unexpectedly, Boss Zheng was so generous and gave out the bonus in just two days.

  She secretly counted it and found that there were 200,000 yuan in cash in the envelope.

  At that moment, Gu Mian really felt like she was so happy that she was about to faint. This money was different from the money she had previously picked up; this was earned through her own abilities and hard work. In less than a month's time, she had already made 20,000 yuan, which was really great for someone who hadn't even officially started working yet!

  "Gu Mian, why didn't you go to work today and asked me out shopping instead? And what's with the smile on your face, are you in love or something?" Bai Fangfang arrived at the agreed meeting spot and saw Gu Mian with a silly grin, couldn't help but ask curiously.

  "Get out, you're just in love. Considering I've been working hard recently, Boss Zheng is very satisfied with me and gave me a day off." Gu Mian rolled her eyes at Bai Fangfang.

  "I also want to fall in love, but I haven't found someone who can make me fall in love." Bai Fangfang let out a long sigh.

  Gu Meng was too lazy to bother with Bai Fangfang's pretended sorrow, don't think she didn't know that Bai Fangfang had many suitors. With a good family background and a pretty face, her personality was also lively and generous, if she really wanted to fall in love, how could she not find someone?

  "A few days ago, didn't you say you found a great place to go for a stroll? Today, since I'm free, I'll accompany you there." Gu Mei said with a frank expression to Bai Fangfang.

  Bai Fang rolled her eyes: "Obviously it was you who asked me to come out and accompany you, wasn't it?"

  "So are you going or not?" Gu Mei raised an eyebrow.

  "Go ahead, Miss Gu is rarely free, I'll cooperate." Bai Fangfang stood up and gave a similar bow to Gu Mei.

  "Just go, hurry up and lead the way!" Gu Mian calmly accepted Bai Fangfang's courtesy.

  Bai Fangfang drove out a red sedan today and after deciding on the day's itinerary, the two immediately got in the car and headed towards their destination.

  While in the car, Gu Miao simply mentioned that she had good luck and bought something good at a low price, and got a bonus after selling it. This made Bai Fangfang shout that she wanted Gu Miao to treat her to a big dinner tonight.

  Actually, there's no need for Bai Fangfang to say it, Gu Ming had already planned on doing so. She just loved watching Bai Fangfang make a fuss like a spoiled cat, shouting at her to eat good food.

  The car had been driving for about twenty minutes, and the two finally arrived at their destination. After Bai Fangfang found a parking spot and stopped the car, she pulled Gu Mian towards the inside.

  "Is this the great place you were talking about?" Gu Ming looked around at the bustling flower and bird market, and couldn't help but look at Bai Fangfang with a skeptical gaze.

  "Of course it's here, don't underestimate this place, I learned about it from a uncle who loves to dig up treasures." Bai Fangfang leaned in close to Gu Mian's ear and whispered: "I heard that sometimes good things appear in this flower and bird market. Let's go try our luck, maybe we'll strike gold."

  "There aren't that many treasures to be found. Even if there were, they would have been taken by others long ago." Gu Mei said with a smile.

  "It's okay even if it's been snatched away, we can take a look at other things, the stuff here is pretty good too." Bai Fangfang hummed.

  "What you say goes." Gu Mian smiled faintly.

  "Let's go! Let's go!" Some impatient Bai Fangfang pulled Gu Mian straight inside.

  Although today is not the weekend, the flower and bird market is still very lively. When I was outside, Gu Miao thought it was similar to other flower and bird markets, but after entering, she found that there were many more things inside than in ordinary flower and bird markets.

  Ethnic ornaments, various rare flowers, and many things that look interesting but can't be named.

  Inside the flower and bird market, there are not only locals but also many foreign friends. Gu Ming walked past a small stall and heard a foreigner using authentic Northeastern dialect to haggle with the vendor.

  It just so happened that Bai Fangfang was very interested in the things on this small stall. Gu Ming stood beside and secretly listened to the foreigner and the stall owner talking.

  The boss was also surprised that a foreigner could speak such fluent Northeastern dialect, and after successfully completing the transaction, they even chatted casually.

  "Hey, I knew you spoke Northeastern dialect so fluently. So you grew up in the Northeast since you were a kid! I'm also from the Northeast, which makes us old neighbors!" The stall owner patted his hands together.

  The foreigner nodded repeatedly and also called out to the vendor's fellow villager.

  The stall owner asked a few more casual questions, as if suddenly thinking of something, and looked at the foreigner with a curious face: "How's your English, smooth?"

  All I saw was the old foreigner slapping his thigh, with a frustrated expression on his face: "English is just too damn hard to learn!"

  Gu Mei almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard this.

  "What's wrong?" Bai Fangfang looked at Gu Mian with a puzzled expression, who was trying hard to hold back his laughter but looked extremely painful.

  Gu Mei shook her head and directly pulled Bai Fangfang to another stall, if they stayed any longer she would have blown their cover.

  After strolling around the flower and bird market, Gu Mian and Bai Fangfang arrived at the area of miscellaneous goods stalls. Many stall owners had spread out a piece of cloth on the ground and set up their stalls.

  "Gu Mian Gu Mian, look at this, is it nice?" Bai Fangfang shouted loudly and dragged Gu Mian to a jewelry stall.

  Everything on this jewelry stall is an imitation of ancient jewelry, without the complexity of modern craftsmanship, with a simple and unadorned feel.

  Bai Fangfang was holding a pair of earrings with only one ruby-like pendant, and the material of the earrings should be gold-plated.

  Gu Xiang didn't think much, directly stretched out her left hand to touch the earrings, the earrings did not emit any heat, it was clear that this thing was just a worthless counterfeit.

  "It looks pretty good, if you like it, just buy it." Gu Mei held the earrings next to Bai Fangfang's ears and nodded.

  "How about we each buy a pair like this?" suggested Bai Fangfang.

  Gu Mei shook her head: "You forgot, I'm allergic to these metals, and can only wear pure silver and real gold earrings."

  "Oh yeah, I forgot!" Bai Fangfang patted her own head: "Then I'll just have to choose myself."

  "You choose, I'll go take a look around." Gu Mei saw a small stall displaying some miscellaneous goods and wanted to go check it out.

  Bai Fang nodded and gestured for Gu Ming to proceed as he pleased.

  There are many things on the stall, such as copper pots, porcelain, wood carvings and so on. However, these things are all casually placed on the ground, looking dusty and having an old feeling. The owner of the stall sits at one side chatting with another stall owner next to him, allowing customers to come and go freely to pick and choose.

  Gu Xiang was a connoisseur, so he wouldn't be fooled by the superficially old and worn-out appearance.

  Because the term "treasure hunting" has been widely understood, people with or without the ability may want to try their luck on this, so some people deliberately make their goods look old and dirty, pretending to have a classic flavor in order to attract those who have the motivation of treasure hunting.

  Gu Mei was selecting things from the stall in her hand while evaluating them in her mind.

  The shape and pattern of this copper kettle are seriously inconsistent in terms of age, and the newness of that ceramic work is too obvious...

  After a few touches, Gu Minglian didn't even move her left hand and judged that those things were all fake, and they were not high-quality fakes either.

  Feeling that it was pointless to continue watching, Gu Mei shifted her target and walked towards a few other stalls.

  There are two stalls in front of me. The owner of the stall on my left is an old man who looks a bit shabby, while the owner of the stall on my right is a young man with a clean face and wearing glasses.

  There are many people shopping on the old man's side, but there are hardly any people on the young man's side.

  Gu Mei thought for a moment and finally followed the crowd to Lao Tou's side.

  People are naturally fond of gathering together, and Gu Ming is no exception.

  The old man's stall had things that weren't just ordinary antiques. People who rummaged through them would find their hands turning black after touching a few items.

  Gu Mei finally squeezed into a gap and scanned a pile of cluttered goods with her eyes, eventually locking onto a dirty-looking snuff bottle.

  Last time she went to Jingdezhen, she bought a high-quality snuff bottle for her grandfather. After receiving it, her grandfather was overjoyed and praised Gu Mei for being filial. Today, after Zheng boss gave her a bonus, she thought about buying gifts for her grandfather and mother, which would not only show her filial piety but also prove her work ability to them.

  At first, when learning antique appraisal, Grandpa was not very supportive, fearing that Gu Mei, a girl, would have trouble finding work after studying this. Later, seeing her receive attention and praise from teachers, he didn't say much more. If she could take this opportunity to prove that her choice wasn't wrong, wouldn't that be even better?

  She and her mother didn't tell Grandpa about selling the porcelain pillow, they were afraid that if Grandpa knew that during his illness in hospital, when there was no extra money at home, Second Uncle and Second Aunt came to ask for money, forcing Mom to withdraw the insurance. She and her mother had always been deceiving Grandpa, saying that there was still some savings at home, enough to pay for medical expenses.

  Gu Mei stretched out her hand to pick up the snuff bottle, but someone grabbed it before she could. Just as she was about to react, the person carelessly put the snuff bottle back on the stall and muttered: "This old man is still as deceitful as ever, trying to cheat people again."
