Chapter 152: Choosing a Gift

85_85853 Lu Xiao saw that the person who came was a middle-aged man over fifty years old, wearing a black coat that was more common in the Republic of China, and he had a retro feeling. But even the loose coat still couldn't hide the slight bulge in his abdomen, and he was a little fat. And on his face, he has always had a warm smile, which makes people look very sincere and never disgusted.

"He is the owner of this Tianlan Pavilion, Yan Fukai, and he is also nicknamed the pavilion master by people in the circle." When Yan Fukai hadn't come over enthusiastically, Xiao Mei'er simply explained to Lu Xiao in a whisper.

Xiao Mei'er, who is not a martial artist, didn't feel it at all just now, in just a few seconds, Lu Xiao and Lian Zhantian were tempting and confronting each other.

After listening to Xiao Mei'er's explanation, Lu Xiao nodded in understanding.

"Boss Yan!" Lian Zhantian lightly spit out two words, which can be regarded as a polite return gift.

"Uncle Yan!" Xiao Meier greeted Yan Fukai with a smile.

These two greetings came from Lian Zhantian and Xiao Mei'er respectively, but they made Lu Xiao instantly have a strong interest in Yan Fukai.

Lu Xiao knew that to be able to open such a huge shop in Yanjing Panjiayuan, in addition to his own abundant funds, he definitely had a strong force behind him. But what Lu Xiao didn't expect was that even Xiao Mei'er, the princess of the Xiao family, would call him Uncle Yan, and he would be regarded as an uncle and nephew. And Lian Zhantian, who is known as the general, with his character, not only nodded lightly, but returned the salute.

However, from Lu Xiao's strict face, he could see that he was a rich and noble person, but he did not have any rights. In other words, Yan Fukai is just a businessman, and he is also a businessman who works for others.

In this way, according to Xiao Mei'er and Lian Zhantian's performance of Yan Fukai who appeared in front of them, Lu Xiao was already able to conclude that the forces behind this store would never be worse than the Xiao family or the Lian family.

Lu Xiao thought that the owner of this antique shop was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

"It's not easy to live in Kyoto, as the capital of China, Yanjing is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"

"Haha! Miss Mei'er, I haven't seen you for so long, you are getting more and more beautiful! Yan Fukai walked quickly to the three of them, greeted Xiao Mei'er with a warm smile, and then said to Lian Zhantian: "The generals have come to me today, it seems that I am going to make a lot of money, haha!" ”

Enthusiasm, respect, humor, and all-encompassing, the qualities of ordinary excellent businessmen are vividly reflected in Yan Fukai. Even Lu Xiao, who was observing from the sidelines, had to admit that Yan Fukai was a real businessman.

After saying a few words to Lian Zhantian and Xiao Mei'er, Yan Fukai said to Lu Xiao with a smile: "Look at the little brother, he is talented, he looks dignified, I don't know if the contemptible person is lucky enough to make friends with the son?" ”

I have to say that even if he was a sycophant, it didn't disgust Lu Xiao when he said it from Yan Fukai's mouth with a smile.

"Uncle Yan, he's my boyfriend! Lu Xiao! At this time, before Lu Xiao could answer, Xiao Mei'er, who was holding Lu Xiao's arm, took the initiative to say with a smile.

Although this will hurt Brother Lian's heart, Xiao Meier is not an indecisive person, and she constantly suffers from it.

Xiao Meier's voice fell, and the scene was silent in an instant.

Just said that Lu Xiao is Xiao Meier's boyfriend, but that is just the words of Lu Xiao's family, and there is no one else around. But at this time, it was Xiao Meier who personally admitted that Lu Xiao was her boyfriend, and it was in front of Yan Fukai, the owner of this Tianlan Pavilion antique shop.

In this way, it is an established fact.

But Xiao Meier is not Lian Zhantian's fiancée! How did this strange man in front of her become her boyfriend?

Yan Fukai couldn't figure out what to do about this matter, but this was all a matter of these young ladies in the upper echelons, and it wasn't something that he, a boss who sold things, could play with.

"It turned out to be Lu Xiao and Lu Gongzi, sure enough, he is as his name suggests, chic and abnormal, the three of them must be here for Old Man Zhao's ninetieth birthday! Please follow me up to the fourth floor, there is a new batch of goods today. Yan Fukai said hello to Lu Xiao with a smile, and then beckoned the three of them to go upstairs.

Yan Fukai's short few sentences reflect his shrewd side as a businessman.

After greeting Lu Xiao and simply flattering her, she directly skipped the words that Xiao Meier and Lu Xiao were her boyfriend, without mentioning a word, and did not offend Lian Zhantian. And he directly diverted the topic to avoid the embarrassment of Lian Zhantian.

However, a discerning person can easily see that although Yan Fukai is fair and reasonable on the surface, no one has been offended. However, he still has more places to help Lian Zhantian. neither lost face nor embarrassed him. For Lu Xiao, it was just a routine flattery.

After all, as a businessman owner, being able to say nice things is just one of the basic skills.

For these, Lu Xiao didn't care about it at all, after all, one was a son who had been famous in the Yanjing circle for a long time, and the other was just a stranger led by Xiao Meier, which was more important at a glance.

Under Yan Fukai's humorous language, a few people came to the top of Tianlan Pavilion in a seemingly relaxed atmosphere.

Lu Xiao is the first time to visit Tianlan Pavilion, the furnishings in the upper room are similar to those below, and there are antique picture scrolls hanging on the four walls, and the painting is refined. The area is the same as that of the downstairs, but the antiques on display are only one-tenth of the below. However, even this tenth, in Lu Xiao's eyes, its value is much higher than that below.

When Lu Xiao and the others came to the fourth floor, there were already customers on it, discussing antiques. One of the five-person group, when he heard the footsteps and looked this way, he immediately showed surprise and surprise on his face, and the first person ran over and greeted him respectfully, "Brother Lian is good!" ”

"Brother Lian is good!" The other four who looked a little younger than him also greeted him respectfully.

Lian Zhantian glanced at them lightly, Lu Xiao could clearly see from his eyes that he knew a few people, but their friendship was definitely not deep, Lian Zhantian just nodded lightly, and then stopped looking at them.

And these young men seem to be familiar with Lian Zhantian's character, and they don't care, "Brother Lian, you are busy first, call me if you have something!" With that, he took the other four people back to the place where they had just discussed antiques.

However, Lu Xiao could easily find that their discussion at this time was obviously a little absent-minded, and he swept here from time to time.

"They are some other good families in Yanjing, although their energy is not too big or small, they have some dealings with the Mu family, the Lin family, and the Lian family." Seeing a faint look of confusion on Lu Xiao's face, Xiao Mei'er explained close to his ear.

After listening to Xiao Mei'er's explanation, Lu Xiao understood their identities and nodded to Xiao Mei'er with a smile.

To put it bluntly, even these families are the same, they are all the law of the jungle where big fish eat small fish and small fish eat small fish. And families like Gongzi Mu and Lian Zhantian are at the top of the food chain, like the family where the young people just now belong, it is the middle part of the food chain, and they have to choose to rely on a certain top force to protect and maintain their own interests.

They are the people who eat under the hands of the families of these sons. This is why these young people are so polite to Lian Zhantian. After all, the status and identity are there!

However, the whispering of the two of them like no one else made a trace of coldness flash in Lian Zhantian's eyes, and the young people who knew Xiao Meier's identity but had never dealt with it, and Yan Fukai, who was beside Xiao Meier, flashed a trace of doubt and shock in their eyes.

It stands to reason that Xiao Meier is Lian Zhantian's fiancée, although Xiao Meier's attitude towards Lian Zhantian is known to everyone in the entire Yanjing circle, but if there are no special circumstances, before the two of them cancel the marriage contract, Xiao Meier is so close to a strange man, which is incomprehensible.

Moreover, it was in front of Lian Zhantian.

Especially Yan Fukai, somehow in his heart, there was a feeling of "Yanjing is about to rise".

"Uncle Yan, we all know the original, so let's not look at it, let's just watch the new one!" After Xiao Meier explained to Lu Xiao, she said bluntly to Yan Fukai. Obviously, she often came here and knew what antiques there were in Tianlan Pavilion.

"Okay! A few of you are here, please! Yan Fukai made a gesture of false invitation and led them to walk in the direction of a little inside.

"There are a total of eleven new antiques this time, and I hope you can find something you like." Yan Fukai blessed beside him.

"Okay, Uncle Yan, I'll borrow your auspicious words!" Xiao Meier replied with a smile, and the group soon came to the new antique.

I saw these eleven new antiques, a total of four calligraphy and paintings, two porcelain, three bronzes, and two jade. And when Lu Xiao saw a bronze gilt Buddha statue, the whole person was slightly stunned.

At this time, Xiao Mei'er was attracted by a painting of an eagle at first sight, and immediately asked Lu Xiao happily: "Brother Lu, what do you think of this?" Give it to Grandpa Zhao, he should like it! ”

Hearing Xiao Mei'er ask herself, Lu Xiao then moved his eyes from the Buddha statue, looked at the painting selected by Xiao Mei'er, and then said to Xiao Mei'er with a smile: "This should be the modern master Mr. Li Kuchan's "Pine Eagle Picture", the painting is vigorous and powerful, the iron painting silver hook, especially the mouth of the pine eagle, is extremely hard, showing the quality of fortitude and the domineering spirit that soars in the nine heavens, and it complements each other when it is given to Old Man Zhao." Mei'er has a good eye! ”

"Lu Gongzi has a good eye, this painting is one of the classics made by Mr. Li Kuchan in his later years, I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be a hidden antique master!" After listening to Lu Xiao's words, Yan Fukai praised in a timely manner.

"Boss Yan has won the award, and I just happen to know." Lu Xiao said modestly in front of outsiders.

After listening to Lu Xiao's explanation, Xiao Mei'er didn't think about it, and said directly to Yan Fukai: "Uncle Yan, I want this." ”

"Okay! Miss Mei'er, please wait. Since the buyer was selected, Yan Fu smiled and ordered his subordinates to wrap this precious calligraphy and painting for Xiao Meier.

At this time, Lian Zhantian also seemed to have chosen something he chose, which was a picture of Baifu written in a variety of different pen styles, and the inscription on it was Zhang Yihe, a famous calligrapher in modern times.

However, he didn't buy it directly, but said to Lu Xiao with a smile: "What about me?" ”

Lian Zhantian's tone of voice, like a familiar friend, was smooth and indifferent. However, those who know Lian Zhantian know that except for a few people such as Xiao Meier and Gongzi Mu, he generally does not speak to outsiders, or only a few short words.

But today, he said a whole sentence to Lu Xiao, this is not Lian Zhantian's character! Thinking about the connection between the three of them, the people on the fourth floor of Tianlan Pavilion, including Yan Fukai, were all brainstorming in an instant.

At this time, in the face of Lian Zhantian's active inquiry, Lu Xiao said something that shocked everyone
