Jiang Changgeng had retired from his position as the Deputy Director of the Provincial Health Committee. He was still living in the Family Quarters of the Department of Health.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the Family Quarters, Jiang Tian looked at a small building and said, "Don't go in. Grandpa is sleeping. Let's not disturb him!"
"You didn't go in. How do you know …" Ye Ziwei couldn't believe it, but she still followed Chen Fan's instructions.
"The Old Master's condition is already very serious, showing signs of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man …" Jiang Tian was silent for a moment, then sighed.
"How did you see it? That's weird. It's the same as what grandpa said. "Ye Ziwei couldn't believe it.
"Heaven's Eye, do you believe it?" Jiang Tian said with a smile.
"Pfft. Keep bragging!" Ye Ziwei rolled her eyes at Jiang Tian. She thought that Jiang Tian was just joking.
Qinger smiled but didn't say anything.
Ye Ziwei asked again, "Jiang Tian, grandpa said the same thing. He said that he's not sick. He said that his time is up and he can't live anymore. What do you think? "
"It's a piece of cake for me. Let's go! "
Jiang Tian waved his hand and called Ye Gufeng. He asked them to prepare some things.
…
The Confucius Temple was a group of ancient buildings that had experienced many vicissitudes of life. It was a place to worship and worship Confucius. It was one of the Four Great Confucian Temples in Huaxia, and it had a rich history and cultural heritage.
The Headmaster's Temple was known as the Qinhuai Scenic Spot and had become the unique landscape area of the ancient capital of Jinling. It was also a well-known tourist attraction both at home and abroad.
In the antique world, Confucius Temple in Jinling and Liulichang in Yan Jin were located in the north and south respectively. They were like two stars in the sky. It was a sacred place for antique players.
There were many scenic spots in the Headmaster Temple. The Learning Palace, the Dacheng Gate, and the Dacheng Hall alone were enough to take half a day. In addition, the nearby Zhanyuan Garden, the Zhonghua Gate, and the Qinhuai River were even more fascinating and tempting.
Here, pedestrians weaved together, shoulder to shoulder. Many tourists followed the tour guides holding small flags to admire the scenery and take photos.
In the crowd, Jiang Tian, who only had a slightly delicate face, did not stand out. However, with the two stunning beauties, Zhao Xueqing and Ye Ziwei, by his side, he attracted many envious and jealous gazes.
After strolling for a while and eating some snacks, Jiang Tian followed Ye Ziwei to the Antique City of the Headmaster's Temple.
Behind the main hall of the Headmaster's Temple, there was a group of antique buildings that imitated the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There were nearly 20 antique shops of various sizes hidden deep inside.
There were all kinds of antiques being traded. In terms of materials, there were wooden antiques, ceramic antiques, jade antiques, jewelry antiques, metal antiques, and so on. In terms of value, there were classical furniture, four study rooms, utensils, makeup accessories, ancient coins, books, newspapers, posters, and so on.
"Eh? Sister Ziwei, what is this? Wonderful Stones Hall, did they sell stones? Is it a landscape stone? "
While strolling, Zhao Xueqing suddenly pointed to a door and asked curiously.
"Humph, you don't even know this. You are really a country bumpkin …"
Next to them, a sloppy young man got out of a Porsche Cayenne and said disdainfully.
Jiang Tian found the voice a bit familiar. He looked up and could not help laughing. "Jiang Chao, how dare you talk to us like this. Do you want to be beaten?"
Jiang Chao was the illegitimate son of his second uncle, Jiang Yangming's mistress. His second aunt was the mistress, but his father was kind and insisted on including him in the family tree.
However, with his identity, it was inevitable that he would be ostracized and suppressed in the family.
This also fostered his perverse and rebellious personality. He bullied people and did all kinds of evil since he was a child.
However, Jiang Chao had always been afraid of Jiang Tian. At that time, Jiang Tian was the crown prince of the Medicine King Group, the Demon King of the Demon Kings. After being beaten by Jiang Tian a few times, Jiang Chao became completely obedient and avoided him like a snake.
"Oh, it's Brother Tian. When did you come back? Sister-in-law also came back together? "Jiang Chao looked at Jiang Tian and suddenly shivered.
But immediately, he despised him in his heart. I am an illegitimate son, and you are an abandoned son. You are not even as good as me.
"When did I come back to report to you?"
Jiang Tian did not bother to pay attention to him. Seeing that Zhao Xueqing was a little moved, he pulled the two women into the Wonderful Stones Hall.
"Didn't the family not allow Jiang Tian to return to Jinling? Why did he come back? I will find out the situation later and tell Big Brother! "
At the door, Jiang Chao looked at Jiang Tian's back and rolled his eyes for a while. Then, he followed in.
"It must be your first time here. Have you ever played stone gambling? No? Then let me introduce it to you! "
When he saw Jiang Tian and the other two enter the courtyard, a shrewd worker wearing a long robe quickly went up to them and introduced them to them.
When jade or emerald was mined, it was wrapped in a layer of weathered skin. With the current technology, it was absolutely impossible to know whether it was good or bad. It must be cut to know what was hidden in it.
The raw material of a piece of emerald was colored and the surface was very good. When the first cut was cut, there was green. But when the second cut was cut, the green was gone. This was also a common thing.
The raw material of this kind of emerald was called "uncut stone". In the emerald trading market, uncut stones were also called "stones". And the trading of this kind of raw stone, because of the high risk and high profit, was full of gambling, so it was called "stone gambling".
Compared with stone gambling, the trading of stocks, real estate, and other risky trading were warm and paled in comparison.
If you bet a jade, you could earn ten times or a hundred times, and become rich overnight. But if you bet a jade, you could also become bankrupt overnight. There were countless people who jumped off a building because of gambling.
Stone gambling could be said to be "one cut to hell, one cut to heaven". So there was a saying in the jewelry industry — stone gambling was like gambling with your life!
And those who dared to gamble often had a strong ability to resist risks. In short, you had to be rich!
Losing a hundred thousand, eighty thousand, or even millions of yuan was not enough to hurt the bones!
"Oh, these stones are so expensive. Look, a fist-sized one costs twenty or thirty thousand yuan!"
Zhao Xueqing held Jiang Tian's shoulder and looked at the stones on the shelf, clicking her tongue in wonder.
"Sister-in-law, we came here to play, so we have to spend money. With me here, what are you afraid of? You don't have to buy any stones. I'll take care of it! "
Jiang Chao came over and patted his chest with a smile.
He was ignorant and incompetent. He took the entrance exam for a third-tier university and dropped out impatiently halfway through. However, his second uncle doted on him very much and gave him five or six million yuan to open an antique shop. He could earn a million yuan a year.
Although he seemed very enthusiastic, there was a bit of disdain in the corner of his eyes.
He heard that the Zhao family's strength was very ordinary. Today, he saw that it was true. Jiang Tian was doing too poorly.
It seemed that the raw stones in the Wonderful Stones Hall alone were worth tens of millions, but Jiang Tian did not care at all. Compared to the hundreds of billions of yuan in assets that he now controlled, it was not worth mentioning.
He focused on admiring Zhao Xueqing's beautiful sparkling eyes and the gentle lines of her face.
If he could make his beloved wife smile, he would buy the entire antique shop. So what?
The shop assistant was also very perceptive. Seeing this, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiang, why don't you come and play?"
"I'm not playing. Sister Ziwei and Qinger, if you want to play, you can bet!" Jiang Tian smiled and said.
He came here mainly to accompany Qinger and Sister Ziwei. He just wanted them to have fun.
This stone gambling was not challenging at all to him. He had opened his Third Eye when he was at the Physique Cultivation Level and could see through everything. It could be said that he was right. Besides, he was not short of money.
Seeing that Jiang Tian refused, the shop assistant was stunned.
Generally speaking, men were very addicted to gambling. How could a man not gamble at a stone gambling place and let his female partner gamble?
He tried to explain, "Sir, there are some stones here that are half-gambled. They are stones that have already been opened and have green in them. The probability of them rising is very high. Do you want to give it a try? "
"I said, I don't play this …" Jiang Tian said lightly.
Seeing this, the shop assistant pursed his lips and a trace of disdain flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Looking at the way he dressed, he did not look like a poor person, but he could not even afford to gamble on stones.
It looked like a silver spear head. A poor person who came out to show off. It was a waste of breath.
He worked in this kind of place and was used to seeing rich young masters throw money away. His heart had long been corroded to the extreme of worshipping money. In his opinion, poor people were not qualified to enter this kind of place.
"Ziwei, you're here too?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice was heard. At the door, a young man with an extraordinary aura walked in.
Behind him, there were a few young men dressed in branded clothes. They were either rich or respectable. They clustered around him like stars surrounding the moon.
"Young Master Qiang! You're here. Please come in, please come in. I'll call our boss over! "
The shop assistant hurriedly bowed and greeted him. He then took out his phone as if he was about to make a call.
"Don't make a fuss. I'm just here for a walk!"
The young man who was called Young Master Qiang smiled faintly and waved his hand. He gave off an amiable feeling like a spring breeze.
He had an elegant temperament and a noble aura on his face. It was impossible to disguise. Only a wealthy family could cultivate such an aura.
Moreover, he was well-mannered and polite. He was low-key and reserved. He was different from the flamboyant and arrogant personality of the average rich second generation.
"Young Master Qiang, I didn't expect to meet you here. I'm your loyal fan!"
Jiang Chao ran over like a loyal dog that had seen its master. He nodded and bowed with a fawning face.
Yu Qiang was one of the wealthiest young masters in Jinlin City. He was able to suppress people like Chen Bo and Sun Hao.
His father used to work in the military. After he retired, he worked in the Jinlin City Political and Law Committee. He controlled more than a hundred thousand police forces in the province.
Yu Qiang was not weak either. He graduated from a famous art academy and opened an art product trading company. In a short period of time, he had accumulated billions of yuan. His achievements alone were comparable to the achievements of the entire Medicine King Group.
"Jiang Chao, what idol fan? I'm not a celebrity. Are you here to play with your cousin? "
Yu Qiang smiled warmly. Jiang Chao was flattered and nodded.
Yu Qiang moved closer to Ye Ziwei and said with a smile, "Ziwei, since when are you interested in stone gambling?"
"Oh. I'm just looking around. "
Ye Ziwei smiled and took Jiang Tian's arm. She pretended to be looking at stones and walked to the side.
A wisp of a fierce expression flashed in the depths of Yu Qiang's eyes when he saw this, and he said indifferently, "This is your … younger brother, Jiang Tian, right?"
