Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire!

239 Antiques (2)

If there was a stone table and a soft cushion under the tree, it would be an excellent place to sit down and drink tea.

The courtyard was very clean. The old butler gently pushed open the door of the treasure vault.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

It was not as dark as they had imagined. Instead, the room was brightly lit. A few rays of sunlight mischievously entered the window and danced on the window frame.

It made the entire treasure vault livelier.

As soon as they entered, they could see the wooden treasure cabinets that were filled with all kinds of antique ornaments.

Ye Xuan only glanced at it indifferently. Meanwhile, the young masters and young ladies behind him had already rushed over and were lying in front of the treasure cabinet, looking at it seriously.

They were all children raised by rich families and were of high quality. They only looked at the treasures from afar, and no one rashly reached out to touch them.

After all, without the master’s permission, it was better to be careful.

They were all out to be friends with Ye Xuan, so they naturally had to think more.

The butler was very satisfied with this action.

He stroked his white beard and could not help but take a few more glances at these young masters.

They knew the rules. Not bad, not bad.

“Old Master Butler, is this a pair of old vases with celadon and white glaze?” Zhong Jiaxing pointed at a pair of vases and asked.

The old butler nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, your eyesight is still very good. It’s a very ordinary thing.”

As the old butler spoke, he pointed at the items on the first floor and said, “If you like them, you can play with them.”

After all, they were the Little Master’s friends. It was fine for them to casually play with the treasures.

Zhong Jiaxing and the rest were flattered. They didn’t expect the old butler to be so generous to them. They subconsciously looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan chuckled and said, “Why are you guys acting like this? Do as you please. The old butler and I will go elsewhere to take a look.”

He had just observed the environment here. The small courtyard was not big. However, although the prices of the things placed on this floor were not low, they were not high either.

Therefore, Ye Xuan was very sure that there were other treasure locations in this treasure vault.

Otherwise, this place would not live up to its name.

“I really can’t hide anything from Little Master!” The old butler smiled and walked to the left side of the treasure vault. He turned one of the blue porcelain vases.

Accompanied by the sound of machinery turning, a stone slab on the ground actually moved, revealing a black hole.

Zhong Jiaxing and the others were all stunned when they saw this situation.

What was going on?

Was there actually a treasure room underground?

“Old Master Butler, you guys are quite mysterious!” A young master craned his neck to look inside and teased.

The old butler glanced at him with a meaningful gaze and did not say anything.

He casually scraped something at the side of the hole. He must have pressed a switch, because the passageway to the underground chamber lit up with a dim yellow light.

Ye Xuan raised his nose and sniffed. Although it was underground, it didn’t smell as damp as he had imagined. It was not bad.

Thinking of this, he took the lead and walked down. The others followed behind him.

The underground treasure room was a little deep. After the few of them walked down and took two turns, they arrived at the end of the stairs.

Only when they arrived did everyone realize why the underground treasure room here was so airtight. They did not even smell any dampness.

This place was entirely made of steel and emitted a cold aura.

Moreover, it was not just the door. The walls and ceiling were all made of steel.

Everyone was so shocked that their faces turned pale.

Wasn’t it enough to have so many courtyards here? They had even specially built such a treasure room. What were they hiding?

Their families could be considered big families with a legacy, but they didn’t have such high-level protective measures.

Even in the ancestral residence, there was no such high-level secret place.

Zhong Jiaxing’s mind twitched. He actually wanted to make a joke. “This is very similar to the places in novels where high-ranking officials hide their secrets.”

The other young masters and young ladies nodded vigorously. This was a good thought. If treasures were really hidden here, they would not be able to discover them at all!

Be it privacy or security, they were both extremely high.

Most importantly, who would have thought that there would be such an underground treasure vault in such an old house?

As they thought about it, Zhong Jiaxing and the others were touched again.

Brother Ye treated them too well. He actually brought them to such a secret place. He definitely treated them as his own people!

The young masters and young ladies looked at each other and saw caution in the eyes of the people around them.

As their leader, Zhong Jiaxing walked to Ye Xuan’s side and said in a serious tone that he had never used before, “Brother Ye, you’ll be our biological brother from now on! As long as you say the word, we won’t dare to say no even if we have to go up a mountain of knives or go into a pot of oil.”

This was their oath. They would keep their word.

Ye Xuan only smiled faintly. “Let’s go. Come with me to take a look inside and admire the collection of the Sea Conqueror’s Imperial Residence.”

The old butler walked over first and opened the first steel door, revealing a wooden door inside.

The moment he opened the door, the fragrance of wood products assaulted their noses, making them feel refreshed.

A young lady looked at the dry interior environment and asked in surprise, “Butler Grandpa, how did you do it? I don’t think there’s an air conditioner installed here. It’s actually not damp at all!”

Wasn’t this too magical?

...

It had to be known that underground spaces were very humid.

The old butler stroked his beard proudly and pointed at the cloth bag in the corner. “I don’t have so many high-tech things here. I still use some old things. They’re all lime. I’ll change them every once in a while. The effect is very good.”

In the past, they used lime. Now, there were also some drying agents in the room, so the effect was even better.

With such a good effect, the old butler’s requirements gradually increased. He even built a new treasure cabinet and placed it inside to store precious antiques.

Ye Xuan took a look and found a pair of colored chicken cups inside. Ye Xuan had a certain understanding of these things and knew that although the value of a pair of chicken cups was high, it wouldn’t exceed two million.

Although Ye Xuan was not interested in an item with such a value, it was extremely rare to the other young masters and young ladies. They carefully looked at the bright glaze on it and kept tasting the precious aura.

Zhong Jiaxing seemed to know a little about antiques, so he said with a smile, “It’s your blessing to be able to see so many treasures! By broadening your horizons, you can improve your judgment. As the saying goes, the more you see, the more accurate you can be. Try to experience it more. Perhaps you can show off in the family in the future.”

In a family like theirs, which Old Master didn’t enjoy collecting antiques?

If they could obtain the Old Master’s favor, wouldn’t their future days be good?

At the thought of this, the group of young masters observed seriously. This concerned their happy life in the future. They had to work hard!

Ye Xuan didn’t pay much attention to them. Instead, he kept looking to the side. Suddenly, his gaze was attracted by a six-sided flower pot.

...

When he saw the blue color, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. Was this a piece of Jun ware?

Ye Xuan carefully held the six-sided flower pot in his hand and looked at it. He flipped it over and saw a cross engraved at the bottom.

The old butler had been following Ye Xuan. When he saw Ye Xuan pick up the flower pot, he said in unison with Ye Xuan, “It’s a six-sided flower pot with blue glaze.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

The old butler bowed respectfully to Ye Xuan and said with some emotion, “Little Master’s knowledge is really admirable! I didn’t expect you to recognize a piece of Jun ware with so little history!”

The corners of Ye Xuan’s lips curled up slightly. In his eyes, these antiques naturally could not be hidden.

Then, he looked at a few rooms in succession. They all contained antiques of the same level, with their value ranging from millions to tens of millions, but there was nothing too powerful.
