Seeing the sun setting, outside the French Consulate General in Jincheng, after a whole day of hustle and bustle, the long queue waiting for the interview finally dispersed.

Wei Xiaoqiao was almost the last to come out of the consulate general with the document bag in his arms, and just turned onto the sidewalk outside, the mobile phone in the backpack behind him rang.

Facing the caller number, Wei Xiaoqiao's somewhat heroic eyebrows twisted, and then pressed the answer button without hurrying.

"Xiao Qiao, have you signed this time?" a man's voice came from the phone.

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Wei Xiaoqiao asked politely.

The other party smiled happily: "Brother, I have already thought about it, and I will personally send you to Paris when the time comes." ”

"When others are fools, they can't see what little calculations you Ma Heng played," Wei Xiaoqiao looked funny: "I knew today, why did you go in the first place?"

The man named Ma Heng immediately begged for mercy: "If young people make mistakes, God will forgive them, or ...... Give me another chance?"

Wei Xiaoqiao leaned against the edge of a wall outside the garden of the Consulate General: "You are over 30 years old, God has not had time to take care of you, I won't tell you, I have already thought about it, go back and take root with my sister over there, take your parents away, and leave you in Jincheng to continue to work!"

"It seems that it has been signed," Ma Heng, who was scolded, was not angry, and still smiled there: "Go back and bring a word to your sister for me, don't think about anything to take root in a foreign country all day long, our royal product Xuan has been in the ancestral industry for hundreds of years, you are not rare, and our father can't let go." ”

"I accidentally told the truth, pretending to change my past, don't worry about my old porcelain shop, it's not your share, hang up!" Wei Xiaoqiao teased Ma Heng, and planned to hang up the phone.

Ma Heng hurriedly laughed: "How dare I worry, don't worry, I haven't said anything about business, our parents are okay these days?"

"It's my parents, don't admit it!" Wei Xiaoqiao said a sentence, then thought about it, and said: "The gang of bastards in the demolition company are keeping an eye on it, and they come to the door to 'do work' at two ends in three days, my dad is in a hurry now, and he is always muttering there, who dares to move a piece of our house, just fight with him!"

"The old man is like you, strong enough!" Ma Heng laughed.

"Isn't it a beating, what do you mean to be like me?" Wei Xiaoqiao directly reprimanded back.

Ma Heng didn't smile at this time, and asked, "Didn't you say that your area will not be considered for demolition for the time being?"

Wei Xiaoqiao snorted: "Liumaqiao Porcelain Street is a treasure land of feng shui for hundreds of years, which profiteer is not red-eyed, and the ghost ideas are one after another!"

"Don't worry, our Yupinxuan has aura, and no one can tear it down," Ma Heng comforted, and finally got down to business: "Brother found you a good job, I just met a friend, there is an old flower pot at home, there are a few more chicken feet on it, I have found several restoration experts, people think it is a licensed Jun kiln, no one dares to take it, you help make up for it?"

"This ...... There can be!" Wei Xiaoqiao's eyes immediately lit up.

"Why don't I take you to meet someone at night?" Seeing that Wei Xiaoqiao agreed, Ma Heng immediately climbed up the pole: "Turn back...... I'm coming home to you?"

"You also know that my dad has high blood pressure, I really want to see you, I don't know what to do, don't hurt him, under the archway at the east end of Porcelain Street, see you in the old place!" Wei Xiaoqiao finished speaking, and pinched the phone.

In Wei Xiaoqiao's opinion, although Ma Heng hates it, he is wonderful in his life, and the jobs he introduced to her are all rich people, Wei Xiaoqiao has calculated, the income of helping people repair porcelain these days, plus the commission for appraisal, the tuition fee in Paris is almost complete, but it saves Lao Wei from taking the money card and not letting her go.

Thinking of making money again, Wei Xiaoqiao couldn't help laughing, and was about to take a taxi home nearby, but when he looked up, he found that someone was in the way.

Standing in front of Wei Xiaoqiao was a blonde and blue-eyed old gentleman, holding a briefcase that looked bulging and didn't know what was stuffed.

"Miss Wei?" the old gentleman looked at Wei Xiaoqiao with a smile in broken Chinese.

Wei Xiaoqiao looked at the other party for a while, and then reacted suddenly, the ...... opposite It was the consular officer who had just done the interview for himself.

I couldn't help but "chuckle" in my heart, but Wei Xiaoqiao's face was very obedient: "Sir, is there a problem with my visa?"

"No, no, all the best, as a Parisian, I sincerely wish Miss Wei a wonderful time in my hometown. The old man said kindly, looking at Wei Xiaoqiao's eyes, he actually had a hint of pampering.

Wei Xiaoqiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and simply waited quietly for others to say the following.

The consular officer raised the briefcase in his hand: "Miss Wei just said that my pen holder is a good thing, please help me take a closer look?"

In a café diagonally opposite the general consul, Wei Xiaoqiao was holding a blue and white landscape figure pen holder, and he had already pretended to admire it for a while.

"What do you think?" The consular officer sitting opposite Wei Xiaoqiao leaned over his head, his expression still a little nervous.

Wei Xiaoqiao asked casually, "Where did you get this tube?"

"A few years ago, I traveled to northern China, and in an antique shop, the clerk showed me this and told me that it was a high imitation, and I thought it was exquisitely made, and it had a Chinese taste on the desk, so I bought it back. The consular officer replied.

"It seems that someone is eye-catching," Wei Xiaoqiao smiled when he thought about it, and looked up at the consular officer: "I took a closer look, congratulations, this is a leak!"

In fact, there is no need to take a closer look, as soon as Wei Xiaoqiao entered the interview room of the chief consul just now, he saw that the tube on the table was a serious old product, and the heir of the Wei family of porcelain also had this fiery ability.

"What?" the consular officer was stunned, obviously not understanding the meaning of "picking up leaks".

"I mean, you are spending a little money to buy good things," Wei Xiaoqiao changed an easy-to-understand statement, put the pen holder back in front of others, and said: "Kangxi blue and white pen holder, known as the 'pen holder king' reputation, you take a look, the blue and white hair color is elegant, the painting has the ink and wash style of the early Qing Dynasty, and how clear the lines are, high imitation can not achieve this effect, and then there is the regular script of the bottom 'article mountain fight', indicating that it was produced by the official kiln of Kangxi twenty years ago." ”

The consular officer seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he should have heard that Wei Xiaoqiao was saying good things, the corners of his mouth involuntarily went up, and he couldn't wait to ask: "What is the market price?"

Wei Xiaoqiao was happy with others: "Your tube is an understatement of the landscape, the lines are fine and smooth, the ornamentation is rich, and the quality is also complete...... If you don't say anything, you have to pay more than 200,000 yuan, I mean RMB. ”

After listening to Wei Xiaoqiao's words, the consular officer's eyebrows and eyes were bent, he carefully picked up the pen holder, thought about it, and took out the silk handkerchief pinned to the suit pocket on his body, wrapped the pen holder in a thin layer, and then stuffed it back into the briefcase.

After a while, the two walked out of the café and stood at the door, the consular officer held his baby, and asked Wei Xiaoqiao curiously: "How many years has Miss Wei been engaged in porcelain appraisal?"

Wei Xiaoqiao folded his hands and counted them, and said with a smile: "It's been more than ten years to say less, since I can walk, run, and be willing to speak, I was thrown into the porcelain pile by my father, I'm really not bragging, I smashed more porcelain than you see." ”

"Wow, that's incredible!" the consular officer's expression was amazed.

"If you have time, please come to my store to sit down, from the middle of the Ming Dynasty, our Wei family is in charge of tribute porcelain to the palace, you can check the history of the development of Chinese porcelain, you can definitely see the royal Xuan, by the way, the three words 'Imperial Xuan' are still royal rewards!" Wei Xiaoqiao mentioned his old porcelain shop, and his face was inevitably proud.

The consular officer happily wanted to go back to the Consulate General, Wei Xiaoqiao looked at the bag in someone's arms, and couldn't help but remind: "You must find a box with courage in the future, what about 200,000 things, in case you accidentally break it...... Forget it, my dad can't hear the word "broken" anyway, but then again, it's really going to be broken, and I promise to help you fix it seamlessly. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Xiaoqiao's eyes rolled a little, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to the consular officer with both hands: "As for me, I learned to make porcelain with my father when I was a child, but now I have changed my career, specializing in repairing bottles and cans for others, family craftsmanship, you are satisfied, if you have any friends who need to repair porcelain, introduce it to me, before I go abroad, I am still open as usual." ”

"No problem," the consular officer smiled and took the business card, thought for a while, and asked Wei Xiaoqiao: "Miss Wei is already an expert in Chinese porcelain, how can she have a plan to go abroad to study sculpture?"

"Don't say anything about experts, I can't afford to be an expert," Wei Xiaoqiao was still a little embarrassed to be praised, and asked with a smile: "I want to tell the truth, you won't take back my visa, right?"

The consular officer was amused and pointed to the gate of the Consulate General not far away: "When you enter there, I represent my country, and standing here, I only represent an individual." ”

"Then I'll just say it, my dad gave birth to two daughters, my sister has gone to France to study a few years ago, my old Wei has to ask me to inherit the Yupinxuan, I'm only in my early twenties, I think of having to be trapped in the porcelain street for the rest of my life, I am really scared, so I went outside to hide first, give my dad a little time, let him understand, times have changed, we have to keep pace with the times, right?" Speaking of this, Wei Xiaoqiao made a grimace at the consular officer.

Outside the gate of the Consulate General, the consular officer with a happy face raised his briefcase to Wei Xiaoqiao, who was still standing at the door of the café, and then entered.

Wei Xiaoqiao was in a good mood and walked briskly to the taxi stop not far away.

After a few steps, the mobile phone that Wei Xiaoqiao casually put in his pocket just now rang again, and this time, it was Wei Xiaoqiao's mother who called.

As soon as the phone was connected, Wei Xiaoqiao couldn't wait to smile and said, "Mom, I'll tell you a good news, I've got a visa!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wei's mother on the phone opened her mouth, she cried directly: "Xiao Qiao, come back quickly, your father has an accident!"

"What?!" Wei Xiaoqiao stood up abruptly and exclaimed.
