Chapter 1336 Love at First Sight 1
By the time Guo Ming finished the examination and expressed his satisfaction with Feng Qingxue, the sky had almost darkened.
The Lu Jiang family naturally couldn’t stay in the courtyard for long. Declining Wang Xinsheng’s offer for dinner, they hastily took their children to say goodbye and joined up with Guan Cheng and the others, who had found a nearby guesthouse. They had a simple dinner there to save the trouble of rushing back to the area around the train station.
Since ancient times, the area around the imperial city had been full of powerful and influential people.
As times changed, the nearby black market and the second-hand markets were the easiest places to find good items.
Therefore, after their children, including the soundly asleep daughter and the triplets, were left in the care of the three Guan brothers, the fully equipped couple, Lu Jiang and Qingxue, claimed to be visiting friends and went out again, blending in with the guesthouse staff and the security personnel.
Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue had extensive social connections, a known fact, otherwise, where would the opportunity to visit the big courtyard have come from?
Xibao was even kept by the old leader in the courtyard. Who else’s child would receive such treatment?
Probably no one expected Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue would go to the black market, after all, it was a place of trade explicitly banned by law.
Feng Qingxue didn’t regret this trip at all. Soon after they arrived at the black market, they acquired a Qianlong Era Baoyue Vase from an impoverished Eight Banners descendant, then a Jade Flattened Square from an old woman who cleaned the toilets, followed by a Wooden Ruyi made of the extremely rare ebony wood. The price they paid was just a bit of food.
Returning to the guesthouse late at night, Feng Qingxue couldn’t hide her excitement. The most valuable item was a painting, a unique national treasure-level masterpiece that, in her previous life, had ended up overseas. She never expected that they would come across it today and that it would fall into their hands.
