The sound of the piano is melodious and crisp, without a trace of noise, just like the moon in the clear sky, without a cloud covering it, and the accent is like the waves of water in the river, majestic and long-lasting, and Li Yi and Ma Weizhong are fascinated by listening to it.

A few minutes later, the song ended, Li Yi applauded gently, and the eyes of Qin Chuan were filled with smiles, while Ma Weizhong's eyes were shiny.

"Now, there should be 200 million without 400 million, right?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan shook his head with a calm face.

"There are still big problems with this piano..."

"A big problem?"

Li Yi and the others couldn't help looking at each other. They sounded very nice?

Qin Chuan glanced at the two of them, smiled bitterly,

"Of course you can't hear anything... and this piano is in urgent need of maintenance. You must not run around like you..."

He took out his cell phone from his pocket as he said.

"I'll come and see Lao Huang. He is the leading zither maker in China. I always feel that something is wrong with Longchi."

After a call, Qin Chuan showed regret on his face.

"He is not at home and will not be able to come back tomorrow night at the earliest. In this way, he will come over the day after tomorrow. If you bring Qin with him, he should have a solution."

Li Yi nodded. Of course, it is best to have a solution, but even if there is no way, the sound that this piano could make just now should not be considered a waste of the piano. In this way, his business would not be a loss...

"Don't you lose? Will you lose if you buy such a Jiuxiao Huan Pei Tangqin for 3.8 million? Do you know that even if this is a useless piano, its value will be more than 50 million! I..."

Qin Chuan was so depressed that he lived in Chang'an all his life and went to those antique markets a lot, but he hadn't seen any good pianos for decades. When this kid came, he made two of them in half a day, and he didn't know the origin of the guqin. This...it makes people vomit blood even if they think about it!

"Ah? Mr. Qin, you didn't say that the guqin should look at the tone..."

"I said so, but you also want to see what piano it is! Do you know the origin of this Jiuxiaohuan Peiqin?"

Li Yi shook his head. On the way he just arrived, he had carefully checked the information about Jiuxiao Huan Peiqin, but what was introduced online was the one in the Forbidden City. As for the other pictures, he really didn't know.

"The few photos of Jiuxiaohuan Peiqins that have been passed down from generation to generation were made by Lei, a family of piano making in Shu Province in the Tang Dynasty. This one of yours is the same as the one in the Forbidden City and the one you said that the estimated price of 400 million yuan was made by Lei Wei, the first ancestor of the Lei family in the Kaiyuan period of the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

"Also, these three zithers appeared at the ceremony of Emperor Suzong of Tang in 756 AD. At that time, there were five Jiuxiao Huanpengs and five Great Sages. The current surviving Great Sages's piano should be specially made for the ceremony, so there is a distinctive symbol of the De Bingshen. However, the zither was neither made by the Lei family, and the age was decades worse than this one, but it is still worth more than one billion..."

Li Yi and Ma Weizhong both gasped. It turned out that the origin of this piano was exactly the same as the one in the Forbidden City!

"No, this piano is far worse than that in terms of heritage. Not only does it contain Su Shi and Huang Tingjian's gift, but it also has the evaluation of the three famous masters of the Qing Dynasty. In this sense, that piano is a truly priceless treasure."

"However, the tone of your piano is better than that one, and I believe that after repairing it, it should not be inferior to the Jiuxiao Huan Peiqin, which is estimated to be 400 million yuan!"

Seeing that Li Yi and both looked a little dizzy, Qin Chuan sighed, walked to another piano table on the side, opened the piano case, gently stroked one of the guqins and said:

"I was going to give you the guqin I used, but now that you have this guqin again, I, the old guy, can't give it. Oh, it's a headache!"

"Sending a piano? Why?"

Ma Weizhong blinked and asked Li Yi in a low voice. Li Yi was a little confused, so he couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan, hoping that he could give an explanation.

"That Great Sage's Literary Piano is about 20 million yuan normally, but..."

Qin Chuan pondered for a moment and said:

"But if there are other piano players who come to compete with us, then the price... So, I should thank you very well. Okay, let's do it first. Put the piano in this piano box first, remember not to have too much vibration, and then come here early the day after tomorrow, and I'll ask Lao Huang to help you see."

The two left Qin Chuan's house. Ma Weizhong thought about it for a long time in the taxi.

"Hey Li Yi, you think, how much is this piano worth? Old Qin just went around and seemed to have no right words in the end..."

Li Yi scratched his head. Qin Chuan's words just now were indeed a bit confused. However, even if it is not repaired, it should be worth more than one billion yuan at this point, right?

With the jade pot spring bottle and the white jade dragon tiger pendant, they could continue to visit the market, but now there is a huge piano case, which is a bit inappropriate, so the two decided to go back to the hotel first, rest and then go out to visit.

The hotel they booked was not far from Xiaodongmen Market, but the way back was a little congested, so it was already 3 pm when Li Yi had just walked into the lobby and saw two young people coming up in the lounge area not far away. When he looked closely, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"When will you two boys come back? Don't call me!"

"Haha, Brother Yi, we are already preparing to give you a surprise. How could we notify you in advance?"

Li Yi smiled and slapped them hard on the shoulders.

"Brother Ma, I will introduce you to two friends. This is Gu Feng, this is..."

It turned out that these two people were Gu Feng and Fat Xiang who had just returned from the walled house from Taiwan. However, after they arrived, they did not notify Li Yi, but ran to Chang'an to give him a surprise!

The four of them chatted for a few minutes, and Li Yi took Gu Feng and Pang Xiang back to his room. Logically, they should have been able to come back half a month ago, but there was another mistake in the transportation process, so they dragged it until Li Yi went to Huashan to sketch before returning to the capital. After the two learned about Li Yi's whereabouts from the left-behind Hongchen, they rushed from Yanjing to Chang'an, just blocking him.

In the evening, the four of them found a place to have a nice meal. The next day, they left the fat elephant in the hotel to visit the hotel. Li Yi took Gu Feng and Ma Weizhong and headed straight to the Eight Immortals Palace Cultural Relics Market.

The Eight Immortals Palace Cultural Relics Market is very close to the Xiaodongmen Cultural Relics Market. The entire market is an antique corridor-style wooden structure building with more than 40 merchants. There are dozens of street stalls on the central axis of the corridor in the middle of the ground floor for a long time. It is named after the towering ancient woods and smoke-filled Taoist Temple Eight Immortals Palace opposite.

Originally, Li Yi's gains in Xiaodongmen Market were enough for him to take him to the party that Zhong Haoqing said without losing the disadvantage. However, the harvest of just one market was so abundant. Not to mention Li Yi, even the irrelevant Ma Weizhong wanted to see how lucky he could be this time. Therefore, the two of them came to the second stop of the planned itinerary, the Eight Immortals Palace Cultural Relics Market, according to the original plan.

"How come there are so many authentic products here..."

When they entered the antique door of the market, the three of them started from the street stalls as usual, but after looking at a few, Li Yi found more than 10 genuine products, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Although he has not been to many antique markets, with such a high authenticity rate, not to mention street stalls, he probably can't find many antique markets in China even if he even counts the same shops!

"You just asked for the quotes, are they true?"

Ma Weizhong was also a little surprised. Yesterday they looked at a hundred companies and asked for the price a few times, but today, there were only a few companies, and Li Yi asked about 10 items.

"It's true, but the prices are too outrageous, and there's nothing really good."

Ma Weizhong nodded. Although he couldn't understand it very well, he could still see whether the things were good or not. Just like those Li Yi collected yesterday, which one was not exquisite and elegant to the extreme? When I saw these today, I almost didn't say that they were all crooked, but there were still a few of them...

"The residual weapon may not be inexpensive, but...huh? Boss, how do you sell this one?"

In the next dozen stores, even though Li Yi saw some suspected authentic products, he did not stop and take a closer look at the bad quality. It was not until he found a large blue and white bowl that he stopped again.

The mouth of this big bowl is nearly 15 cm in diameter, the outer wall is painted with blue and white melon and fruit patterns, and the bottom of the utensil is left with a double row of six-character blue and white style "Made in Chenghua Year of the Ming Dynasty". From the corner of the ring, the body is delicate and tight, and the white glaze bottom is bright and moist, which is actually an authentic official porcelain from the Chenghua Year!

The boss saw Li Yi inquiring about the price, but he didn't say anything. He pointed at the stall and signaled him to see it himself.

Li Yi lowered his head and saw that there was a steel stamped appraisal certificate where the big blue and white bowl had just been placed, which read the market estimation of this porcelain, 3.5 million!

"3.5 million? How much can it be sold?"

"This is the selling price!"

"Boss, you clearly state the valuation..."

"This appraisal certificate was from the previous year. You don't know the current market. The price itself is a bit low. If I weren't anxious to wait for money, I'll do an appraisal. I estimate that 5 million is possible."

The boss looked neither salty nor light, and Ma Weizhong was a little angry when he saw it. Just as he was about to talk about it, Li Yi waved his hand to stop him.

"Okay, 3.5 million is 3.5 million, please help me with it."

Seeing Li Yi handing over the things to Gu Feng, Ma Weizhong came up.

"Is this weird?"

Li Yi nodded slightly and said softly:

"There is a similar lot on the spring auction catalog of Sotheby's Hong Kong this year. It is a Ming Chenghua blue and white melon-patterned bowl with an estimated price of HK$4.5 million. But later this thing was not sold, but was sold privately. What do you guess the transaction price?"

"How many? 6 million?"

Li Yi shook his head and stretched out his two fingers.

"It's increased by 20 times, 90 million!"

"hiss"

Ma Weizhong gasped, how could this be possible?!

"Nothing is impossible, and according to my friend, there is no secret operation here. It's just that this matter has not been made public, so I guess the boss doesn't know it yet, otherwise..."

Ma Weizhong sighed deeply,

"I hope he will never know, otherwise, I guess he will go to the rooftop, and will drag the expert who helped him identify..."

Li Yi smiled and shook his head, and didn't say anything more. Sometimes antiques can't be done by just eyesight. Many times, information is more fatal than eyesight. Just like the Jiuxiao Huan Peiqin he bought before, he thought it would be only a thousand million at most, but when he showed it to Qin Chuan, he actually said that even the useless qin was worth more than 50 million!

If he was anxious to wait for money at that time and took action of 10 million, then should he go to the rooftop?

After walking around for a while, after watching the street stalls, Ma Weizhong turned his head and looked at the shops around him, looked at the time, and said:

"After reading these, accompany me to the Eight Immortals Palace. I heard that I am very smart when I ask for a signature there."

"Oh? Brother Ma also asked for a visa? What do you want to ask for? Peach Blossom Luck?"

"Ha, you kid, my son is almost in junior high school! But... if you weren't following you, with my romantic and elegant appearance, how could I ask for a sign!"

"Then I'm even more asking for peace, please be safe, and bless you not to be discovered by Ma's wife..."

"You boy, it turns out that you are not a good thing..."

The two of them talked and walked around the shops one by one, but I don’t know if they had used up all their luck yesterday. Until they finished visiting 40 shops, they didn’t see anything worth taking.

"I think you should go and ask for a visa... But forget it, if you have the luck you were like yesterday, how can others live!"

Seeing that Li Yi had nothing, Ma Weizhong let out a long breath. When he just bought the big blue and white bowl, he almost thought that Li Yi would replicate the crazy yesterday. If that were true, he would definitely suspect that this kid was not a human at all. Now, it turns out that his luck will also be used up...

Opposite the Eight Immortals Palace Cultural Relics Market is the Eight Immortals Palace, known as the largest Taoist temple in northwest China.
