Chapter 146: Inheritance

"Old Li, isn't Brother Li quite interested in antiques? Actually, it's not bad for the Agarwood Pavilion to pass it on to him!"

After listening to Liu Dong's words, Li Renfang glanced at it, and after hearing the sound outside, Li Yuncong and Zhou Bin, who came out of the study, shook their heads and said: "He can't do it, this kid has an uncertain temperament, he has no longevity in learning things, and he is not the material to settle down to do research! The antique shop is not suitable for him!"

Hearing this, Li Yuncong, who was standing not far from Liu Dong's side, couldn't help but pout, but he also knew his own problem, so after listening to Li Lao's words, he rarely didn't interject.

"But, Mr. Li, why did you fall in love with me? I have just started collecting antiques, not to mention that compared with you, even Brother Li's level in antique appraisal is better than me!" Liu Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Now he is preparing to open his own wood carving shop, which is after all the dream he has insisted on for three years. Moreover, with Long Lao all these years, he has long been familiar with the operation of Taiyi Pavilion, so if he really takes it over, Liu Dong does not feel unfamiliar.

However, in contrast, although the antique shop was once one of Liu Dong's ideals, it was the future, not the present.

Now his real knowledge of antiques is too far from the needs of opening a store. While his ability alone would ensure that he would be invincible in his collection of antiques, it would not make him a convincing master of antiques.

Therefore, now he needs a lot of time to enrich his knowledge of antique identification, and it will take more time to open an antique shop before he puts it on his agenda. But by no means now.

After listening to Liu Dong's words, Li Lao first glanced at Uncle Long before saying with a smile: "Xiaodong, in fact, you don't have to be presumptuous. Although you are still lacking in antique appraisal knowledge, when it comes to eyesight, you are much stronger than an old man like me. ”

After waving his hand to signal Liu Dong to listen to him first, Li Lao continued: "After this period of contact, I found that you have the ability to become an excellent antique appraisal master, cautious, steady, good at thinking and summarizing, and what is even more valuable is that you are a kid, with an almost unforgettable memory, even I, an old man, can't help but feel jealous. ”

After listening to Li Lao's words, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, his almost unforgettable memory was only possessed after obtaining the ability. It wasn't like that before.

"Of course, more importantly, you kid seem to have a natural affinity for those precious antiques and artworks. Tell me how long it has been since you kid picked up a big leak?"

"Kangxi pastel snuff bottle, Huang Binhong's imitation of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and this seated statue of Sakyamuni Buddha in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Every person who mixes antiques can pick up such a big leak, which can be regarded as burning high incense. And you've picked up three of them in just one week!" Speaking of this, Old Man Li couldn't help but shake his head.

In fact, Liu Dong picked up more than that, he also had Wang Shuyuan's golden silk nan woodcut octagonal relics pagoda, Tang Yin's "Spring Mountain Companion Map" long scroll, Emperor Qianlong's bell seal, Liu Dong's handwritten four books "Analects", "University", "Mencius" and "The Mean", as well as the precious crane painting obtained from the Black Tiger Gang's treasury that has not yet been uncovered.

Of course, Liu Dong himself would not say this, otherwise he would be too rebellious.

"So, I'm the most relieved to hand over the Agarwood Pavilion to you!" Finally, Old Man Li made a summary.

"Xiaodong, you don't have to excuse yourself, Lao Li and I are both people who bury our necks, and now I want to make fun of Sun to have a good old age. I don't have the time and energy to run these two stores anymore, so even if it's for the sake of us two old men, you can just say yes!"

After listening to Uncle Long's words, looking at the earnest eyes on the faces of the two old men, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, everything was said for this part, can he do it if he doesn't agree?

"Okay, Uncle Long, Elder Li, since your second elder looks up to me, then I agreed. But your second elder also has to promise me one condition!" Liu Dong was not a procrastinator, and said immediately after making a decision in his heart.

"Okay, you say!" said Elder Li.

Nodding, Liu Dong organized his language for a while before he said: "Old Li, Uncle Long, I bought these two shops from you, and I hope that your second elder will sell them to me according to the actual value of these two shops!"

The reason why Liu Dong said this was not that he was afraid that the two old men would exaggerate the value of the shop and ask for more money from himself, but that they would not want money at all and directly give him the two shopkeepers.

After all, neither of the two old men is short of money.

Hearing this, after Elder Li and Uncle Long glanced at each other, their faces invariably showed a look of relief.

"Don't worry, you kid has made so much money gambling on stones recently, my old man has always been very envious, and he must have asked you to pay for it a lot!" Uncle Long said with a smile next to him.

At this time, Li Lao also smiled and nodded.

"Alright, now we're done talking. You two boys come and sit down!" Li Lao greeted Li Yuncong and Zhou Bin, who were standing next to him, and said, "Everyone sit down to eat, this time I took out all the thirty-year-old Moutai that I treasured, I was not willing to drink it myself, and today it is all cheap for you boys!"

After listening to Li Lao's words, Zhou Bin couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that we have a good mouth this time! Thirty-year-old Moutai is rare on the market now!"

"I guess this is another blessing for Xiaodong, when I came here before, I never saw the old man take out such a good wine!" Li Yuncong said with a smile.

"You kid, you haven't seen anything good. Besides, your grandfather has called more than once to say that you have secretly drunk his treasured wine!"

Facing Old Man Li's laughter and scolding, Li Yuncong just smiled hehehe, and didn't say anything.

"Come, Lao Li, pour it for me first. When I go abroad in the future, it will not be easy to think about this kind of good wine!" Uncle Long picked up his cup and said to Li Lao with his hands in the air.

"Okay, pour it for you old guy first!" With Elder Li's words, the white viscous liquor fell into Uncle Long's cup with a mellow aroma.

Then, after Lao Li poured himself full, he put down the wine bottle, picked up the glass full of liquor, looked at Old Man Long and said: "Old Long, we grew up together, although we haven't seen each other for more than 30 years, but in the next ten years, God has let us meet together again!"

"Now that we are all old, you old guy is also going to settle abroad, and I don't know if I can come back this time!" said Li Lao's face couldn't help but show a sentimental color, and his hands holding wine glasses also became a little trembling.

"This glass of wine, I salute you, even if it is for you to practice!"

Hearing this, Long Lao's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his dry hands trembled and touched the wine glass in Li Lao's hand, "Let's cheer!"

"Cheers!" and the two of them drank their glasses of wine.

Seeing the two old men say goodbye to their lifelong friendship, Liu Dong's love in their hearts also became sad. Quietly sat by and watched, no one spoke. But from the look in their eyes, it can be seen that they also yearn for this kind of friendship that will last a lifetime.

Looking at this friend who grew up together from childhood to adulthood, although Long Lao was sad in his heart, he still patted Li Lao's arm and smiled and comforted: "Lao Li, you don't have to worry about me, I went abroad, my children and grandchildren are around my knees, and I am doing well." In addition, there is also a Chinatown, which is still the taste of our hometown. It's you, after so many years, don't hold on any longer, find a time to go back to the capital, solve the misunderstanding with Biyun, and stay there!"

"I know, you old guy is gone, I don't have any friends here, it's time to go back!" Li Lao said, his eyes couldn't help but show a look of remembrance.

"Okay, don't let these juniors look at the jokes of our two old guys! Everyone fill up the wine glass, let's go one, it's fate to be able to get together today!"

"Cheers!" "No one is allowed to leave it in one gulp!" ......

may have been stimulated by the two old men, Liu Dong, Li Yuncong and Zhou Bin all let go of their drinking, let go of all their worries, and drank cup by cup.

And Liu Dong, who rarely drinks alcohol, was the first to get drunk on the table, and this was the first time he was drunk in his life.
