Kyoto, Panjiayuan.
Panjiayuan was a famous place in Kyoto, as well as a renowned antiques market.
However, in the eyes of true Kyoto locals, Panjiayuan was simply a gathering place for fakes, because ninety-nine point nine percent of what was sold there was counterfeit.
This place was also specifically used to swindle out-of-towners and foreigners.
Jiang Siming had never intended to come here, but since Xiao Weixi wanted to visit, he decided to indulge her little wish.
It was the end of the year, and there were countless people setting up stalls to sell antiques.
As soon as they entered, they saw porcelain, antiques, gold, silver, jade, and all sorts of other things—more than they could count.
There was even stone gambling.
Anything related to antiques and jade could be found here.
Jiang Siming casually glanced at one stall. Good grief, the owner even had a Yuan-dynasty Qinghuaci depicting "The Ghost Valley Descends the Mountain" on display.
That thing was so rare that there was only one in existence.
Yet here, with just a casual glance, almost every stall had one.
"Wow~ Brother Jiang, look at all these antiques! The people here are really rich!"
Dongfang Weixi exclaimed innocently.
Jiang Siming was caught between laughter and tears. If all these things were genuine, then what she said would indeed be true.
"They're all fake, silly girl." Jiang Siming was worried she might really get scammed in the future, so he felt it was necessary to warn her.
"Huh? Really?" Dongfang Weixi scratched her head.
"Come on, let's look around. Maybe you'll get lucky and find something genuine."
As he spoke, Jiang Siming led Dongfang Weixi around Panjiayuan.
When they had just reached a stall, Dongfang Weixi became interested in a painting and picked it up to examine it.
