Ginger could not help but feel proud. ”My collection is just a layer of fur. I still have a collection room on the second floor. That's …”

Jin Jie continued to brag to himself, wanting to appear superior in front of Zhang Yitian.

But Zhang Yitian did not refute him. You can say whatever you want to say, as long as you give it to me in the end.

According to what you, Ginger, said, you already weigh so many things, and you still care about the two things you gave me?

”Actually, I don't dare to say it, but I am actually quite interested in the stone Tao's painting that Mr Jin mentioned yesterday!” Zhang Yitian said.

As soon as he said that, Jin Jie immediately sucked in a deep breath. Not only did he not say anything, he was even silent for a long time.

”Can Mr Jin let me take a look first?” Zhang Yitian asked, ”I've long heard that Shi Tao was one of the four great calligraphers in the Qing Dynasty.

”Ugh …” Hehe. ”Ginger laughed.” Hey! Actually, I've already prepared those two items for you. I'm just waiting for you to come pick them up! Please come with me! ”

The two of them then went upstairs.

The decorations on the second floor of the villa were quite luxurious, as if it was the style of the imperial palace, and the scene that was reflected was completely golden.

Whether it was the corner of the table, the potted plant rack, or the legs of the table, all of the room was illuminated by the glittering golden eyes.

Taking out a bunch of keys, Ginger opened a thick wooden door.

When the door was pushed open, Zhang Yitian did not manage to see what was inside clearly, because all he saw was a pitch-black darkness.

Jin Jie turned on the light, and Zhang Yitian finally saw the room full of the essence of human art …

The room was dark. The whole house had no windows. The room was also about forty to fifty square meters in size. It looked a little messy inside, but there were still too many things inside.

If one were to look carefully, he would be able to tell the difference. In reality, the room was very clear, with one side being the painting area. Scrolls were inserted into deep ceramic vats, and the framed paintings were neatly placed on a square table.

There was also a wooden frame in the corner. On it was a piece of water made of porcelain and jade, all sparkling and translucent.

There was also a wooden box specially made for holding bronze artifacts. The box had a name and year number written on it.

Zhang Yitian looked and sighed, thinking that this old fellow really had a lot of treasures hidden inside. At most, it was just some decorations, was all that good stuff here?

Jin Jie walked straight to a square table. There was a wooden box on the table. He picked up the box and turned around to leave.

”Please, the light isn't good here. Let's go outside and take a look!” Ginger said.

The two of them returned to the living room. Only then did Jin Jie say, ”The two items I pressed on Brother Zhang are inside this wooden box!”

Zhang Yitian thought that Jin Jie would just directly open the box, but who would have known that he would actually press down on the lock of the box and turned to Zhang Yitian and said: ”Bro! ”One more thing, I must make it clear before we hand it over to you!”

Zhang Yitian knew that it was not that simple. This old man was so cunning, he must have had some scheme, ”Please speak out!”

”Ugh …” Ginger pondered for a moment. ”It's like this, I, Jin Jie, am considered a very well-known person in Lin Xi territory. Before this, I won't have much of a loss, but now that I've met you, little brother, I've fallen head over heels! But we are convinced, I am truly inferior to your methods! ”

Zhang Yitian nodded, only to see Jin Jie's face becoming redder, and he also becoming embarrassed to speak, he asked: ”Mr Jin, if you have something to say, please say it!”

”Sigh, just say it!” Jin Jie shook his head. ”Little brother, please don't spread this matter. Otherwise, my reputation will disappear in this life …”

Zhang Yitian nodded his head, but did not say a word. He knew that Jin Jie definitely had something else to say.

”Of course, little brother, you won yesterday, we lost, that's a fact. But we want face, we can't just take it for free, so I'm prepared to give you a treasure to thank you for!”

”Huh?” What did that mean? Although he did not interact much, Zhang Yitian knew that this was definitely not Jin Jie's personality.

However, even if he did not want it, Zhang Yitian did not refuse. He waited for Jin Jie to take out the things before speaking.

Seeing that Zhang Yitian did not object, Jin Jie was slightly relieved. He took out a bronze key and opened the small, exquisite bronze lock.

The moment Jinjie opened the box, a faint scent of spice assaulted his nostrils.

Because they were made of wood and had calligraphy and paintings in them, more or less, some of them would be added to the utensils in order to prevent corrosion and the insect moth.

Zhang Yitian smelt the rich aroma, and immediately knew that even this Agarwood was a rare good item.

He looked inside the box and saw an even more exquisite small wooden box with a bas-relief carved on it. It was 20 centimeters square and the corners were filled with gold and silver.

Beside the small box was a bundle of scrolls. With a single glance, one could tell that the scroll was a package. The real calligraphy and painting should be inside.

”These are the two things that I promised little brother. One was Shi Tao's' Fake Water into Tribute 'and the other was a thirty word bronze bronze bronze inscription from the time of Yin and Shang!”
