Chapter 280 [Visiting the Tang Family]
Tang Huaiyuan's home is located in a remote old alley in the old city of Yanjing, although Qin Fan inquired about the specific address, but the alley is intricate, he carried a bunch of gifts in the old alley for a long time, wasted a lot of effort to find the courtyard where Tang Huaiyuan lived.

Qin Fan once heard a sentence that in Yanjing City, "there are three thousand and six famous alleys, and the nameless alleys are stuffed with cow hair", which is not an exaggeration. Hutong culture is the folk culture of old Yanjing, which is closely related to the life of Yanjing people.
Those who come to Yanjing must have heard of the famous ten major alleys, Nanluoguxiang, Yandai Xiejie, Mao'er Hutong, Guozijian Street, Liulichang, Goldfish Hutong, Dongjiaomin Lane, Xijiaomin Lane, Ju'er Hutong and Bada Hutong.
In addition to these famous alleys, there are many nameless alleys.
However, with the development and change of the times, many old hutongs and courtyard houses have been demolished, and the people who live in them have moved into modern high-rise buildings and spacious apartments. Hutong culture is also gradually declining, and it will become a thing of the past in the near future.
Standing at the door of the courtyard, Qin Fan was about to knock on the door when the door with the couplet suddenly opened from the inside.
"Young man, who are you looking for?"
A middle-aged woman with a beautiful appearance and a dignified temperament walked out of the courtyard, looked at Qin Fan curiously and asked.
Qin Fan noticed that this middle-aged woman's appearance was six or seven points similar to Tang Xin, and she had a bookish aura on her body, and couldn't help but guess that she should be Tang Xin's mother.
"You must be Senior Sister Tang Xin's mother, hello, I'm here to find ......"
"I know, you must have come to our house Tang Xin."
Aunt Tang's eyes lit up, and there was a hint of surprise on her face, and before Qin Fan could report to his house, she couldn't help but open the door and drag him into the courtyard.
What's going on?
Qin Fan was confused by Aunt Tang's enthusiasm, and it seemed that she had misunderstood something.
"Alas, our Xiaoxin is too cold and doesn't like to go out to socialize. Usually when I come back from the laboratory, I stay at home watching TV and sleeping, and it's rare for a boy to come to her. By the way, what's your name, young man? ā
Qin Fan wanted to explain, but this Aunt Tang didn't give him a chance to explain at all, and babbled about it, obviously not worrying about her daughter.
It's no wonder that Tang Xin's age is not young. Other girls can make soy sauce at her age, but Tang Xin hasn't even seen a shadow of a man around her for so many years.
Her life is also extremely monotonous, except for doing research in the university laboratory, she goes home to sleep, and does not go out to socialize at all. In college, there are many men who pursue Tang Xin, but for those men, Tang Xin never even looks at him.
Aunt Tang knew that her baby daughter was such a temper, although she didn't say it, she was anxious to find a good home for her daughter.
It's just that she obviously misunderstood Qin Fan's intention, he didn't come to the Tang family to be a son-in-law.
When Tang's mother dragged Qin Fan into the house, Tang Xin was wearing a nightdress and was watching TV boredly on the sofa, two white dazzling slender thighs resting naked on the coffee table, her black hair was draped casually over her shoulders, and her expression was lazy and charming.
"Mom, aren't you going out, why are you coming back again?"
"Dead girl, nestled on the sofa all day and not in shape. Don't hurry up yet, you have friends coming for you. ā
"Someone looking for me?"
Tang Xin raised his head curiously and turned to this side, but saw Qin Fan standing at the door with a bunch of gifts, his eyes inadvertently falling on her beautiful legs, and his expression was quite embarrassed.
Due to the hot weather, Tang Xin's nightdress was very high, and a gust of wind blew through Qin Fan and seemed to see the infinitely beautiful ****.
"Qin Fan, why are you here?"
Noticing Qin Fan's gaze, Tang Xin's face turned red, and he hurriedly retracted his snow-white thighs, and at the same time glared at him viciously, "I warn you, don't look at it!" Close your eyes. ā
"How do you talk to someone, hurry back to the house and change clothes."
Tang Xin snorted twice, twisted his slender willow waist and went back to the house to change clothes.
A few minutes later, Tang Xin changed into a long dress and walked out, glared at Qin Fan fiercely and said threateningly, "You are not allowed to say what happened just now, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ā
"Well, actually, I didn't see anything just now." Qin Fan touched his nose in embarrassment, he didn't want to be beaten into a pig's head by Tang Xin.
"It's strange to believe you."
Tang Xin rolled her eyes, her face was a little hot. She didn't expect Qin Fan to suddenly come to visit her home, it was really embarrassing just now.
"Xiaofan, you young people have a good chat, I'll cook. At noon, you must stay for dinner and try your aunt's handiwork. Mother Tang had a smile on her face, and gave Tang Xin a look and asked her to greet Qin Fan well, but she must not scare people away again.
"Mom, where is this? Qin Fan is a student of his father, and he came to visit his father this time. ā
Tang Xin's face was black, she didn't want the misunderstanding to get bigger and bigger, and let Tang's mother worry about her.
"Is that so? Hey, you said it earlier. ā
Hearing this, Tang's mother felt a burst of disappointment in her heart. She also counted on Tang Xin to have more contact with boys and strive to hug her grandson as soon as possible.
"Aunt Tang, I have wanted to tell you for a long time, but I can't find a chance to speak."
Qin Fan smiled bitterly, but it was good that the misunderstanding was clarified, so as not to embarrass him and Tang Xin.
"Wife, are we a guest?"
At this time, Professor Tang Huaiyuan came home with a few ancient books retrieved from the second-hand book market, and saw that there was suddenly one more person in the family.
"Dean Tang."
For Qin Fan, Professor Tang Huaiyuan has the grace of knowing him, and Qin Fan respects the old man in front of him from the bottom of his heart.
"Hey, Xiaofan, you're back from abroad, I just happened to have something to do with you, let's go into the house and talk."
In the room, Qin Fan took a sip with a cup of fragrant hot tea, "Dean Tang, is there an eyebrow for the ruins of the ancient city on that map?" ā
"The research on that ancient map went well, but it was not so easy to pinpoint the location of the ruins of the ancient city."
Tang Xin answered Qin Fan's question, and according to their speculation, the ruins of the ancient city should be south of the Taklamakan Desert, at the intersection of the Lop Nur and Altyn Mountains on the ancient Silk Road.
However, to determine the specific location of the ancient city, it is necessary to go to Lop Nur to conduct archaeological exploration.
Xiao Xin is right. But this time I didn't look for you for the ruins of the ancient city, but for another matter. Professor Tang took a sip of hot tea and continued, "In a few days, Yanjing Antique City will hold a folk treasure appreciation conference, and the organizer has invited many experts in the Yanjing antique circle to participate in the treasure appreciation conference. They invited me too, but I happened to be unable to go during this time, so I recommended you. ā
"Folk Treasure Appreciation Conference?"
According to Qin Fan's understanding, in recent years, with the rise of antique collection, the so-called folk treasure appreciation conferences have been held all over the country. It is true that there are many valuable antiques and treasures at the treasure appreciation conference, and some collectors have become rich overnight.
It is also because of these stories of getting rich overnight that more people have joined the big circle of antique collecting.
It's just that the things in the antique market are nine fake and one true, and there are countless collectors who take medicine with eyes, even experts have suffered from high imitations. There are not a few people who want to get rich overnight with inverted antiques, but only a very small number of people are really successful.
As an ancient cultural capital with a history of 3,000 years, Yanjing naturally has many treasures that have been inherited. In addition to the antiques and cultural relics hidden in the Forbidden City Museum, there are also priceless boutiques in the private collection.
However, this time, Yanjing Antique City held such a folk treasure appreciation conference, the most important thing is to publicize.
"Teacher, you see I'm still a student. Even if you stick a white beard and pretend to be an expert for identification, no one will believe it. Qin Fan smiled bitterly, just like people like to find an elderly doctor when they go to see a doctor, and the same is true for antique identification. Generally speaking, collectors looking for people to identify antiques are looking for those experienced old experts, which are more reliable.
As the saying goes, if you don't have a hair, you can't do things well, Qin Fan's age doesn't look like an experienced expert, even if he gives a free appraisal at the treasure appraisal conference, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
"You're a little younger, but your eyesight and insight are no worse than those of the so-called experts. You can't disgrace the old man's face at this treasure appraisal conference. ā
Tang Huaiyuan is very confident in Qin Fan, some time ago, when he found something from the antique market, he would definitely run to Feng Accord and let Qin Fan appraise it.
Others don't know him, but it's very clear that Qin Fan's eyes are very vicious, and no fake can escape his fiery eyes.
Seeing Tang Huaiyuan recommend himself like this, Qin Fan was embarrassed to refuse, and agreed to his request to participate in the folk treasure appreciation conference.
It's just that I heard Tang Huaiyuan say that more than a dozen well-known experts were invited to this treasure appreciation conference, and even Mr. Ma, the founder of the first private museum in the Republic, was invited over.
If it weren't for the organizer of the treasure appraisal conference knowing that Qin Fan was the owner of the Feng Ya Pavilion Club and had good treasure appraisal ability, I am afraid that he would not easily agree to let Qin Fan replace Dean Tang Huaiyuan as the treasure appraisal expert of this treasure appraisal conference.
After talking to Dean Tang Huaiyuan, Qin Fan stayed at Tang's house for a light meal.
After the meal, Tang Xin was urged by his mother to send Qin Fan to the door with a reluctant face.
"Qin Fan, I have a question, I hope you answer me honestly." When he walked to the door, Tang Xin suddenly looked at Qin Fan's eyes with a serious face and said.
"Sister Xin, you ask."
"What color did you see just now?"
"White ......"
Qin Fan subconsciously blurted out, and he knew he was going to suffer as soon as he opened his mouth.
Sure enough, Tang Xin's face suddenly became gloomy, and he gritted his silver teeth and kicked Qin Fan with hatred.
"Okay, you still said you didn't see it, look for a fight!"
"Uh...... Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. Listen to me first. ā
Qin Fan decisively chose to slip away, and if he stayed any longer, he would have to be beaten into a pig's head by the angry Tang Xin.
