Chapter Ninety-One: Visit Again

And just as they were eating, Liu Dong, who was familiar with the road, had already ridden his old bicycle and came to the antique city. After first going to Taiyi Pavilion to say hello to Uncle Long, and leaving the bicycle there, Liu Dongyou bought some things at the shop on the street, and then walked to the backyard of Agarwood Pavilion.

The last time I went empty-handed, I caught up with it, and I didn't have time to prepare. Not this time. And for this, Liu Dong also went to consult Uncle Long.

"Knock knock!"

After knocking on the door, Liu Dong soon heard footsteps coming from inside.

"Squeak!" With the hoarse sound of the door opening, a middle-aged woman with a simple face and about forty years old leaned out most of her body.

"Mother Wu, it's me, I'm here to visit Mr. Li!" Liu Dong, who had been here three days ago, was already familiar with the nanny who took care of Mr. Li's daily life.

"Oh, it's Mr. Liu, come in! The old man has been talking to you several times!" For this polite and polite young man, Wu's mother also has a deep affection in her heart, so her tone is very kind.

Hearing this, Liu Dong said politely, and then stepped over the threshold and walked in. When he came over a few days ago, he was already very familiar with the scenery in the small courtyard, but seeing the quiet environment here again, Liu Dong couldn't help but like it from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle Liu, are you here, have you brought a gift for Nannan?" may have heard the movement at the door, just after Liu Dong had just bypassed the shadow wall and entered the small courtyard, a little girl with two twisted pigtails and a white princess dress, about five or six years old, ran to Liu Dong from the house, hugged his thighs, and asked in a milky voice.

Looking at her childish and cute face, Liu Dong hurriedly took out the candy man he bought on the way here, "Uncle Liu gave it to you, do you like it?"

Looking at the sugar man in his hand, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly took it, took it in her hand and looked at it, her round little face showed joy, and she shouted loudly: "I like it!" 's cute appearance made Liu Dong reach out and hug her.

"Xiaodong is here?" At this time, Li Renfang, who was originally in the back room, also walked out, "Nan, my uncle gave you a gift, do you want to say thank you?"

"Thank you, Uncle Liu!" the little girl is still very well-behaved.

Touching her little head, Liu Dong smiled and praised: "Nan Nan is really sensible, my uncle will bring you gifts when I come over in the future!"

"Hehe, okay, Xiaodong, don't get used to her!"

Hearing this, the little girl nodded and struggled, and after Liu Dong put her down, he grabbed the sugar man in his hand and ran away happily.

"Elder Li, I know that you like to play with flowers and plants, so I bought a pot and brought it to you when I came. However, I don't know much about this, so I don't know if you don't like the one you bought!" said Liu Dong and held a pot of flowers in his left hand in front of him.

After listening to his words, Li Renfang did not refuse, reached out and took it, took it in his hand and looked at it, and asked with a smile: "It was the old dragon who sent you, right?"

Hearing this, Liu Dong naturally knew what the old man meant when he said this. So, he touched his nose and smiled with a slight embarrassment: "Yes!"

"Hehe, Xiaodong, you have a heart! I like this pot of orchids very much!" Saying that, Li Yunfang didn't say anything polite to Liu Dong, so he accepted it. Since he handed over the antique appraisal experience that he had summarized in half his life to Liu Dong, although he did not agree to his request to apprentice, the relationship between the two parties has been similar to that of master and apprentice. Therefore, Li Lao is not as polite as Liu Dong, otherwise the two sides will seem to be divided.

And this time, Liu Dong also wanted to thank Mr. Li for his gift of books, so he specially went to ask Uncle Long, only to know that Mr. Li likes to play with flowers and plants, especially orchids. That's why I went to the shop that sold bonsai in the antique city and spent tens of thousands of oceans to buy this pot of Chunlan. Now, seeing that the old man likes it, he can't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly says that he finally didn't send the wrong thing.

Following behind Li Lao, Liu Dong walked into the house. After looking around, I found that the layout of Li Lao's living room is basically contrary to some modern decoration styles, but is more similar to the ancient Chinese home decoration style.

First of all, after entering the door, what catches your eye is a pair of "the gas is like an orchid and does not change, and the heart is like an orchid and never moves", and above the main hall is a plaque with four big characters in the book "Precious in the heart". Below the main hall is a table full of classical Chinese charm of the Eight Immortals and two Taishi chairs.

Behind this set of tables and chairs is a table about three meters long and slightly higher than the Eight Immortals Table. On the black table are some blue and white porcelain and some green plants. On the left and right sides of the living room, against the wall, there are four hoop chairs. The whole main hall is decorated in an antique style, although it is not gorgeous, but it is full of charm.

And Liu Dong, who has been with Uncle Long for many years, can see at a glance that these classical Chinese furniture are almost all from the old man's handwriting, both in terms of materials and workmanship.

"Sit casually, Xiaodong! Mother Wu serves tea!" put the orchid on the long table behind the table of the Eight Immortals, Li Renfang also sat down on the main seat, and then said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Dong hurriedly said, "Don't bother, Elder Li!"

"It's okay, you can sit down! You don't need to be polite when you come to me!" After a pause, after seeing Liu Dong sit down again, he asked again: "By the way, have you read the diary I handed you over?"

"Well, I've already read some of it! But the content you always remember in it is too profound, so I read it very slowly! And many of these things need to be checked repeatedly to figure it out!" Liu Dong replied with some embarrassment.

After hearing this, Li Renfang nodded, not only was he not angry, but his face showed satisfaction.

He wrote his own book, and he naturally knew what was in it. Just like Liu Dong said just now, although the appraisal knowledge he recorded in it is all good words in antique appraisal, it is not comprehensive.

If a person who has studied the appraisal of antiques comes to read his diary, it is natural to find a treasure, and the level of appraisal has made rapid progress. But if it is changed to Liu Dong, who is just getting started with antique identification, it will be more difficult to read his diary.

Because the most recorded in this diary is the identification of knowledge. For example, a piece of Ru kiln porcelain, the diary will have the characteristics and identification methods of Ru kiln porcelain, but it does not explain what Ru kiln porcelain is, as well as the period and evolution of its appearance. Of course, this is also a helpless thing, if you really want to record all these contents, even a hundred diaries are not enough, because China has evolved over thousands of years, and the history and culture left behind are too thick, and I don't know how many precious cultural relics there are. Even if a person is poor in his life, he may not be able to eat a thorough classification of antiques.

Of course, what satisfies Li Renfang the most is Liu Dong's attitude towards antique appraisal and his diary, he did not simply memorize the appraisal content in the diary, but bought books and checked the information by himself, studied little by little, and perfected his appraisal knowledge. This can't help but make Li Renfang feel that he has indeed chosen the right person. Liu Dong is a good successor.

After casually taking a few questions about Liu Dong, watching him answer the stream and explaining it very thoroughly, the satisfaction on Li Renfang's face became even stronger.

"Okay, let's drink tea and sit for a while, and then wait for someone to come, and then we'll go!" Li Renfang said after taking a sip of tea.

But before he could finish speaking, a loud knock on the door had already come from outside.
