Chapter 119: A Strange Family Banquet

But what embarrassed Su Chen the most was that as soon as the old man finished saying this, the two people who were originally sitting next to him and Jiang Hui directly moved their chairs away, and then everyone moved a position to the back.

Yes, if you don't sit now, you have to sit.

Su Chen had no choice but to get up with Jiang Qianyu, and then sat down beside the old man.

"Alright, everyone is here, then let's order the food to be served. ”

When Su Chen sat down, the old man looked around and said softly.

In the gap between serving, Ning Juncheng, that is, Jiang Qianyu's grandfather, said to Su Chen with a smile: "Xiao Su, are you in the antique business?"

Su Chen was slightly shocked when he heard this: "Grandpa Ning, how do you know?"

"Hehe, Lao Shen chatted with me yesterday, saying that there is a young man named Su Chen, who is very good at antiques, and is also a master of cultural relics restoration, so I guess it's not you. Ning Junshan smiled proudly.

It turned out that Ning Juncheng and Shen Deshan were friends, no wonder.

Su Chen suddenly said, "It's all praised by Grandpa Shen, I just have a little research on antiques." ”

Jiang Hui on the side heard it and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you are humble, your antique attainments are much more clever than those so-called experts I know, if it wasn't for you last time, my little great-grandson is really ......."

Speaking of this, Jiang Hui suddenly said to a young man in his thirties who was sitting on her left: "Xiao Ming, this is Su Chen, who is speaking up in the hospital, those white porcelain of the Jin Dynasty were also found thanks to him, you have to thank others." ”

When the young man heard this, his eyes lit up, he picked up the wine glass and stood up, and thanked Su Chen sincerely: "Brother Su, thank you for saving my son Xiaobei, great kindness, toothless and unforgettable." ”

Seeing this young man so formal, Su Chen sweated in his heart, and he also picked up the wine glass and was about to stand up, but Ning Juncheng directly grabbed him: "Xiao Chen, you sit." ”

Su Chen had no choice but to sit down.

"Xiao Su, I'll have dinner later, it just so happens that I recently got a baby, when the time comes, you go back with me and help me palm my eyes." Waiting for Su Chen to put down the wine glass, Ning Juncheng said with a little ostentatiousness.

Jiang Hui snorted softly: "Just your tatters, dare to say that it is a baby, I said that you were blinded, I don't believe it, Xiao Chen, I will go back with me later, take a good look, and let him know how his level can be my opponent." ”

Ning Juncheng didn't like to hear this immediately.

"Hey, I said wife, I usually let you, if you want to say that my baby is a fake, then I won't do it. Xiao Su, you must go back with me later. ”

Seeing that the two old men quarreled over an antique, Su Chen was also helpless, and glanced at Jiang Qianyu, and saw that she was making fun of herself.

On the contrary, those people in the lower seat, seeing that Old Man Ning and Su Chen, a stranger, were actually talking happily, their faces were a little unsightly for some reason, and the eyes of a few people met, and they all saw a trace of uneasiness in each other's eyes.

The quarrel between the two old men came and went quickly.

In less than a minute, Old Man Ning and Grandma Jiang stopped arguing, and after the two old men glanced at each other, Ning Juncheng whispered to Su Chen: "Xiao Su, how old are you this year?"

"Well, it's twenty-five this year, Grandpa Ning. Su Chen paused for a moment and replied truthfully.

"Well, I heard my wife say that you have lost your memory, and I wonder what you want to do next?"

"Well, for the time being, I should stay in Jinnan, Qianyu has a new study of my condition, and the rest, I recently opened a new pawn shop, mainly thinking about continuing to do it in the antique industry. ”

Su Chen wondered in his heart, how could this question be the same as asking his son-in-law, I hope I thought too much.

He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Qianyu, but saw this beautiful female doctor, who was eating with her head buried at this time, her ears were pink, as if she felt Su Chen's gaze, Jiang Qianyu raised her head and made eye contact with him, just like an electric shock, her head was buried lower.

'Wouldn't it, such blood?' Su Chen was speechless for a while.

Because it was a family banquet, there were not so many rules, except for everyone symbolically thanking Su Chen, the banquet ended at half past eight.

Because he promised to go and see the baby that Ning Juncheng said, the family banquet was over, and Su Chen was still sitting in Jiang Qianyu's car.

Twenty minutes later, the car drove out of the city, along a winding road, to the gate of a luxurious manor.

The brown-red gate opened, and two rows of straight green pines sat on either side of an asphalt road about five meters wide, and in front of the manor building, a marble fountain pool with a diameter of nearly ten meters showed the wealth of the family.

"Qianyu, I didn't expect your family to be really rich. Su Chen chuckled, but there was no envy.

From the way he came just now, Su Chen knew that Jiang Qianyujia was one of the top five large groups in Jiangnan Province, and the Longteng Group, which was as famous as Xingchen Group.

Parking the car well, Jiang Qianyu glanced at him and said, "If you have money, you have money, and I can't spend much anyway." If it weren't for my grandparents today, I wouldn't have come back. ”

Hearing this, Su Chen looked at her with some surprise, and keenly noticed the slight resistance in the eyes of this beautiful doctor, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, the wealthy family has many grievances.

From the family banquet just now, Su Chen noticed a problem.

Jiang Qianyu's parents are not there.

As long as you think about it with your feet, you know that there must be a story, but Su Chen is not a gossip person, and besides, he knows that it is definitely not something worth recalling, so he didn't ask much.

Entering the inside of the manor, Jiang Qianyu did not take Su Chen to the hall of the manor, but walked through a corridor and came to a small hall.

"This is where the family receives friends, and my grandfather's bedroom is above it. ”

Jiang Qianyu explained softly.

As she went deeper and deeper, Jiang Qianyu's expression became more and more indifferent, and Su Chen, who was following her, could feel a trace of cold air emanating from her.

"Third sister, did you really bring him?" As soon as he walked into the small hall, an unhappy voice came.

Su Chen looked over and saw that the young man with his yellowish hair, who had been looking at him with very dissatisfied eyes at the banquet today, was walking towards here with one hand in his trouser pocket, and the sentence just now was obviously what he said.

"Ning Ming, I brought my friend here, do I still have to get your consent. If you're not satisfied, go straight to grandpa. Jiang Qianyu said with a cold face.

Hearing this, Ning Ming's face suddenly changed.

If you want him to go to your grandfather, you don't have the courage to kill him.

"Hmph, the Ning family is not just a casual person who can come. Ning Ming glanced at Su Chen disdainfully, dropped this sentence and left directly.

When Ning Ming left, Jiang Qianyu sighed weakly, and said apologetically to Su Chen: "Su Chen, I'm sorry. ”

"It's fine. The mouth grows on others, and we have no way to control how they speak, so you don't have to blame yourself. Su Chen said lightly, but he didn't think there was anything.

There are too many people who rely on their family background and have a sense of superiority, and for Su Chen, they are just a group of second and third generations who have no ability, and they can't stir up the waves in his heart at all.

"Xiao Su, Qianyu is slow enough to drive. Come on, come on, help me appreciate my painting. ”

When Ning Juncheng saw Su Chen, he hurriedly waved at him, and at the same time ordered a picture scroll to be spread out on the coffee table.

Su Chen hurriedly walked up and saw a picture of a lotus koi coming into view.

"Is this the work of Zhu Qi, a member of the Bada Mountain?" Su Chen was slightly startled.

Seeing that Su Chen recognized the origin of this painting at a glance, Ning Juncheng's eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

Asking Su Chen to come here naturally couldn't really be to highlight this painting, and with his identity, this painting was not his most precious collection. The most important thing is to verify whether this young man is really capable.

Just when the thoughts were circulating in his mind, Su Chen sighed softly: "Grandpa Ning, I'm afraid your painting is a little wrong." ”

Ning Juncheng was stunned.

When a man of about forty who was sitting on the sofa next to him heard this, his expression changed greatly, and he suddenly stood up and said, "Boy, what nonsense are you talking about? ”

Taking his eyes off the painting, Su Chen raised his head in some surprise, glanced at the middle-aged man, recognized him as Jiang Qianyu's third uncle Ning Zhibang, and couldn't help but say, "I said there is something wrong with this painting, why are you so excited?"

Jiang Qianyu was by Su Chen's side, and when he heard this, he came to his side and whispered, "This painting was given to my grandfather by my third uncle." ”

Su Chen suddenly realized, could he be so excited.

took a deep look at Ning Zhibang, and secretly said that this old boy was not honest, and he actually used a fake painting to fool his own Lao Tzu.

Ning Juncheng's face was also a little unsightly at this time, and after glancing at his youngest son, Ning Zhibang immediately didn't dare to speak anymore, but looking at Su Chen's gaze, there was a sense of resentment.

"Xiao Su, tell me, what's wrong with this painting?" Ning Juncheng said, "Many of my friends have seen this painting, and you are the first to say that he has a problem." ”

Ning Zhenbang couldn't help but speak when he heard this: "That's right, it's okay for those people to see it, why do you say that there is a problem." Do you know, I bought this painting for more than 5 million yuan, if you don't say that you are ugly today, don't blame me, an elder, for bullying you!"

At this time, the movement here also attracted the attention of others, Jiang Qianyu's eldest uncle, Ning Jiexiong, as well as Ning Hao, Ning Ming, and others all gathered around.

When he realized what was happening, Ning Ming was the first to shout: "Su Chen, what do you mean? My father spent more than five million on paintings, and it became a problem in your mouth." Don't pretend to understand, have you ever seen such an expensive antique?"

The others didn't speak, but they all looked like they were watching a good show.

Su Chen's vision was so keen, he saw everyone's demeanor in an instant, and suddenly understood why Jiang Qianyu was reluctant to return here.

"Grandpa Ning, I said that he had a problem, which was naturally the reason, but I didn't say that this painting was not an antique. Su Chen explained.

"What do you mean by that?" Ning Juncheng was puzzled.

"Bada Shanren was one of the 'Four Great Painting Monks' in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and was famous for his large-scale ink and wash freehand paintings, especially flower and bird paintings. Because he often used paintings to express his dissatisfaction with the rule of the Manchurian aristocracy, his paintings are full of bulging birds, staring fish, or remnants of mountains and rivers, and dead branches of old trees. This painting, although you can also feel this emotion, but ...... Grandpa Ning, look at this fish......"

As Su Chen spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed to a small fish hidden in the lotus.

At this time, everyone nodded again and again by Su Chen's explanation, obviously agreeing with his statement, and looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a very normal small fish.

Normal, in this painting, that's abnormal.
