Chapter 10: The Great Gift
"A thousand bucks?"
After everyone heard Ye Jianwen's words, their faces showed surprise.
Twenty or thirty years ago, you could easily pick up a leak on the antique street, but now? Take the antique street in Dongcheng District as an example, there is no one in a million genuine products, and there are countless fakes.
To be able to pick out a genuine one among the many fakes, and it is also a serious Yongxuan porcelain, this is amazing. With this eyesight alone, I'm afraid that the entire Beihai City will not be able to find a few.
"Xiao Chen, did you really buy this cup for a thousand yuan?"
Old Man Ye was also surprised, although he likes to collect and identify antiques, but if he wants to let him pick out a genuine item at a low price on the antique street, he thinks that he will never be able to do it.
"Yes, Grandpa. ”
Lu Chen nodded and briefly recounted the incident.
When he said that it had taken him all night to clean the black dirt off the wall of the cup, and to carefully remove the handle of the cup, the old man immediately laughed.
"Your young age, the high eyesight, is really amazing! If it were me, it is probably impossible to see that this cup handle was actually painted by later generations. ”
The old man's face was full of approval, and he continued with a smile: "When we have time, let's have a good chat about this way of collecting antiques......
Ye Zihao saw his grandfather praising Lu Chen so much, his face was blue for a while and white for a while, he wanted to interject several times, but in terms of antiques, he was completely seven tricks and six tricks, and he didn't know anything!
Seeing this, Ye Jianwen couldn't help but turn his head and glance at his wife, and each other's eyes showed surprise.
You must know that since the old lady died of illness five years ago, the old man has never laughed so heartily, it seems that this antique that Lu Chen bought is really the old man's heart.
As for the couple Ye Jianwu and Yang Ling, they can't wait to slap themselves a few times at this time, what are you doing to ridicule others with nothing to do?
Now it's good to make yourself like a clown. And what made them even more unacceptable was that the red jade longevity peach that they bought at a huge cost of two million yuan was actually compared to a piece of porcelain bought for a thousand yuan, not to mention this strong sense of disparity.
Other Ye family relatives and guests glanced at Ye Jianwen's family intentionally or unintentionally, although Ye Jianwen's ability is average, and the chance of inheriting the Ye family is very small, but the family chose a good son-in-law!
This Lu Chen has been quiet for the past year, but he is well versed in the principle of doing what he likes, and he won the favor of the old man with an antique, which reversed everyone's impression of him. This ability alone is enough to crush more than ninety percent of young people of the same age.
What's more, Lu Chen is a door-to-door son-in-law, not an outsider, and he may not be able to become a high-level member of the Ye family in the future.
From this point of view, maybe Ye Jianwen's cold stove is also worth burning.
While thinking about burning the cold stove in their hearts, everyone focused their eyes on Ye Jianhui's body.
It can be said that the current pressure has come to Ye Jianhui's side, and the birthday gifts of Ye Boss and Ye Lao Er have been affirmed by the old man, so how should Ye Jianhui react now?
Even Ye Jianwu, after calming down, turned his attention to his sister Ye Jianhui. But what disappointed him was that his sister maintained a faint smile from beginning to end, and it didn't seem to have any changes because of the appearance of the red jade longevity peach and the Yongxuan cup.
Under the eyes of everyone, Ye Jianhui's eighteen-year-old son Ye Zisheng got up and left the table, walked in front of the old man with a smile, bowed deeply, and then said: "Grandpa, our family wishes you a happy birthday." Actually, my mother and I also prepared a birthday gift for my grandfather, but before we can take out the birthday gift, we have to ask your grandfather to forgive us for our self-assertion. ”
Old man Ye rarely met a knowledgeable junior of his own family, and he was happy in his heart, and when he heard the words of his little grandson, he didn't think much about it, and nodded directly.
"Thank you, Grandpa, for your forgiveness. ”
Ye Zisheng continued unhurriedly: "Grandpa, my mother and I took it upon ourselves to renovate the old mansion for you. ”
As soon as these words came out, the other guests may not have anything, but everyone in the Ye family present was shocked.
The Ye family is on the outskirts of Dongcheng District and owns a 300-year-old mansion, which has always been the residence of the Ye family in the past. But just the year before last, there was a sudden earthquake in Beihai City, which caused a lot of problems in some old houses that had been in disrepair for a long time.
For the safety of his family, Old Man Ye moved out of the old house with his family, preparing to find a master in the future, take a fresh look at feng shui, and then officially repair it.
But no one thought that the plan that the old man was still preparing was directly completed by Ye Jianhui's mother and son ahead of schedule, and it was also regarded as a birthday gift for the seventieth birthday.
The old man's brows furrowed slightly, and his face, which was full of smiles just now, suddenly became gloomy.
After noticing the change in the old man's complexion, Ye Zihao almost didn't laugh out loud, who didn't know that the old man likes to do things step by step, and the most annoying thing is that others suddenly intervene? The old man had already put the plan of repairing the old mansion on the plan, but someone intervened horizontally, how could he be happy? If it wasn't for the birthday banquet, it is estimated that he would have been angry directly.
Everyone in the Ye family also frowned, looking at Ye Zisheng and Ye Jianhui's mother and son with a strange expression. It stands to reason that such a big omission shouldn't be something that a cautious person like Ye Jianhui can do?
At this moment, Ye Zisheng was still smiling, and said again: "Grandpa, we repaired the old mansion this time, not only according to the original appearance, but also invited Mr. Jiang Fengxiao, the master of Master Su Mingquan, to arrange feng shui and guide him throughout the process. ”
"Hiss......"
As soon as the words fell, everyone present couldn't help but gasp, if Lu Chen was proficient in doing what he liked, then Ye Jianhui's mother and son just played with the word "what he liked".
Who doesn't know that after the death of the old lady, the old man became more and more nostalgic?
Who doesn't know that the old man has worked hard to repair and restore the old house?
Who doesn't know that the old man wants to find a real master and re-survey the Ye family's feng shui?
Everybody knows that, but no one can do it. But today, Ye Jianhui's mother and son did it!
At the same time, a middle-aged man in a white robe and a pair of black glasses stood up from Ye Jianhui's side and walked forward slowly.
"The younger generation Jiang Fengxiao, the substitute teacher Su Mingquan, wishes the old man Ye a blessing like the East China Sea and a longevity than Nanshan. ”
The middle-aged man bowed slightly, and said expressionlessly.
"There's no need to be polite, the virtuous nephew can come, it really makes my Ye family shine. ”
Old Man Ye swept away his previous unhappiness, looked kind, and smiled kindly.
