Chapter Twenty-Six: Guest
"Hey, ...... you?" Yan Danxiao thought to herself, who is this swarthy guy, why is he so familiar?
"Me, Rong Yuanhang, have you forgotten again?" Rong Yuanhang pointed his fingers to his chest, it seems that he has to dig out his heart and lungs to show her, why can't he always remember himself, am I a person all the way in your eyes?
"Ah, the crab seller, I remember!" Yan Xiaodan clapped his palms, smiled brightly, pointed at him and said, "No wonder you are so familiar, Mom, the big crab you praise is the one he sold me...... Uh, no, it's for me! How did you end up here? Later, I wanted to buy it again, but I can't find you anymore. ”
"Uh, this, I don't sell crabs anymore." Rong Yuanhang's heart is cold, the goddess of dreams, how can you just remember that I am a big crab seller? In vain, I remember you every day. Didn't we know each other two years ago, and you held an important place in my heart two years ago.
Yan Xiaodan's mother's surname is Rong, and her name is Wan Lan. She listened to her daughter's words, and her face showed a look of sudden realization: "Oh, it turns out that the young man who sells crabs is you, and she hasn't paid you yet!" My daughter is doing things, she is missing a tendon, your three big crabs are worth one or two thousand, she is good, she left without paying a penny, saying that she took the crabs home in a daze, and regretted paying you afterwards. ”
"Hehe, Aunt Rong, I didn't plan to collect money for that crab, it's not worth mentioning. Besides, Xiaodan and I have known each other two years ago, and we are friends. Right, Yan-Xiaodan? Rong Yuanhang looked at the beauty with a smile, his eyes full of blazing heat.
Yan Xiaodan was stunned, nodded and said, "Well, I remember, you called me,...... I'm sorry, but I owe you a meal. ”
"Don't worry, I'll invite you when you're free." Rong Yuanhang saw that the other party finally remembered this, and couldn't help grinning stupidly.
The two sides chatted for a while, and at this moment, another Audi luxury car drove over and slowly stopped at the door.
"It's Dad's back!" Yan Xiaodan shouted happily.
A middle-aged man in his fifties got out of the car and said with a smile: "Xiaodan is back, just got off the plane, right?" How's it going, are things going well? ”
Yan Danxiao nodded with a smile: "Well, of the twenty-three works I brought, six of them were auctioned, and some of them were given to friends over there in the United States." One of them is in the collection of the United Art Museum! ”
"Hehe, this is a great event, Dad is really happy for you!" It turns out that this man is Yan Wenli, the father of Yan Xiaodan, who has a powerful auction company in Guangyue City, and his daughter Yan Xiaodan has been very talented in art since she was a child, and loves calligraphy and painting. This time, his daughter received an invitation from across the Pacific to participate in an art exhibition in New York, and he was sincerely happy.
Yan Wenli said again: "Hey, what are you doing standing at the door, go into the house, hey, who are these two offspring......?" Only then did he notice that Rong Yuanhang and Cailong were standing aside, paying attention to their conversation.
"Yuanhang is our neighbor," Yanmu Rong Wanlan replied with a smile: "I just moved in, and I am still a friend of Xiaodan, just now my car tire was deflated, thanks to the young man, who helped me change the spare tire." By the way, two young men, sit in the house and have dinner at our house by the way? ”
"Oh, I see, yes, yes, let's have a meal together?" Yan Wenli also politely extended an invitation.
"Hello Uncle Yan," Rong Yuanhang was a little restrained, glanced at Yan Xiaodan who was looking over, saw that she didn't say anything, and he couldn't be sure in his heart, and said: "My name is Rong Yuanhang, you can call me Yuanhang, this is my guy Cailong." ”
"Come on, come on, sail away," Yan Wenli stretched out his hand on his back and nudged him away, "Just moved here today?" It's rare that we have a fate, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, sit in the house, you're welcome. ”
"Okay," Rong Yuanhang suddenly remembered, turned his head and said, "Cailong, why hasn't the courier come yet?" Why don't you wait for him at the door? ”
"Yes, boss." Cailong replied simply, he simply ignored Yan Wenli's family, and he didn't respond when people greeted him. Rong Yuanhang knew that Cailong was just a strange beast, and he was simple-minded and unsociable, and he was afraid that he would say something he shouldn't say in front of people, so he let him stay.
……
Yan Wenli's home is very elegantly decorated, mostly decorated with precious wood carvings, the furniture is also an antique style in the Qingming period, and there are many antiques and works of art on the cabinet in the hall.
Seeing Rong Yuanhang looking around left and right, he seemed to be full of curiosity, so as not to snub the guests, Yan Xiaodan walked over, she said: "Rong Shengxian, Aunt Qiong hasn't cooked yet, anyway, she is still sitting, I'll take you to visit our house, right?" ”
"Okay." Rong Yuanhang was very happy and felt that he finally had the opportunity to get close to the goddess.
"Let's go up to the second floor and let you see my dad's collection too."
followed Yan Xiaodan to the second floor of the villa, and entered a hall, only to see that the eyes were full of famous paintings of French calligraphy, full of shelves, as well as respectable Yi vessels, cups and several cases, boya and ancient, the room was slender, Qi Shu Qing lock, it turned out that even the windows were made of ancient window flowers, this is simply a small museum.
Rong Yuanhang is only a high school student at best, and his appreciation of calligraphy and painting only stays between what seems and what is not, good and bad, and he can't say why it is good.
"These are old paintings,...... These are modern paintings, and your dad also collects this? Rong Yuanhang took the opportunity to speak, his eyes stayed on her dazzlingly beautiful face, and he felt that he couldn't see enough.
Yan Xiaodan smiled a little slyly, she pointed to a "Basho Beauty Picture" and asked, "What do you think of this painting?" ”
"Well...... Well, it's very similar, the figure painting is very beautiful and expressive, it's just that this tree is sloppy, only a few strokes are drawn, it looks hazy, and you look at this stone, it doesn't look like a stone at all, it's too sloppy, it seems to be a few strokes with a brush to sketch it, well, this level is a little worse, you look at other people's paintings, it's different......" When Rong Yuanhang was judging the painting in front of him, he didn't notice that Yan Xiaodan was getting more and more wrong, and looked at him with a frown.
Suddenly turned his head, only to realize that the people's expressions were wrong, Rong Yuanhang coughed a few times: "Ahem, I don't read much, and I don't understand this painting...... What's wrong, Miss Yan? ”
Yan Xiaodan had a black line on his face, and said lightly: "It's okay, I painted this picture." ”
"Huh?" Rong Yuanhang thought that this time was bad, and hurriedly thought about remedy, "Smack!" With a bang, he slapped his feet and sighed loudly: "I'll just say, who can paint such a beautiful picture, you see how beautiful this man is, and then look at this stone, tsk, the straight drawing is more beautiful than a diamond!" Compared with yours, they are all scum, even if they are any masters of Chinese painting! You say, don't you? ”
Yan Xiaodan said coldly: "I also painted these pictures!" After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the hall, thinking to himself why I was so stupid and brought such goods to enjoy the paintings, it was completely a cow to play the piano.
"Huh? ......" Rong Yuanhang was dumbfounded, followed out, and asked cautiously: "Miss Yan, I ...... Did you say the wrong thing? Hey, I don't understand calligraphy and painting, it's that reading is harmless, don't you mind? ”
Seeing his nervous look, Yan Xiaodan couldn't help but smile, "Okay, let's go down, it's time to eat." ”
……
During the meal, Rong Wanlan asked about Rong Yuanhang's work, "Yuanhang, you don't sell crabs, what kind of work are you doing now?" ”
"Me,...... In fact, the time to sell crabs was very short, and he used to open a small hardware factory, but he was not well managed, and he owed a lot of debts, and later closed the factory. Now, no, oh, now I'm messing around with some art, and jade and stuff like that. Rong Yuanhang didn't want to tell people that he was currently unemployed. But engaging in otherworldly trade is also a business, so it makes sense.
When Yan Xiaodan heard him say "artwork", she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him, secretly disdainful, and said in her heart: If you still work of art, you won't be able to look at a painting, and it's strange if you don't give it to others.
"Oh, you still have jade? Can you take a look? Your business is the right match for my company. Yan Wenli said with a smile and turned his head to look at his nephew Yan Shengrong who was sitting next to him.
Rong Yuanhang asked, "Uncle Yan opened a jewelry store?" ”
"I have an auction company," Yan Wenli replied, "mainly dealing in art and jade auctions, hey, but there are fewer and fewer good goods now." ”
At this time, Yan Shengrong also said: "Yuanhang, if you have any good objects, don't you take them to our company for an evaluation, and I will help you operate at that time, maybe you can sell them at a good price." ”
"Brother Sheng Rong also works in an auction house?" Rong Yuanhang asked.
"Well, I'll help my uncle with you."
Rong Yuanhang's heart has long been excited, and someone will send a pillow when he sleeps. said: "This is really there, and it will be indispensable to trouble Brother Sheng Rong when the time comes?" ”
"yes, what is it?" Yan Wenli is also interested.
"Jade...... But maybe there's something else. Rong Yuanhang replied.
"Okay, when it's convenient for you, just look for Sheng Rong."
……
After eating a meal for more than two hours, Rong Yuanhang returned to his newly rented villa, eager to cross the other world to buy those jade artifacts immediately. I ordered a takeout for Cailong, and then opened the wooden box sent by the courier. Although the size of this thing is small, it contains a full fifty catties of silver raw materials. There are custom-made silver bars weighing 50 or 100 grams, and there are also silver beans weighing a few grams.
These silvers, known as the four nine purities, cost more than 87,000 yuan. Rong Yuanhang thought for a while and said, "Cailong, are all the things we bought ready?" ”
Cailong nodded: "It's all ready, put it in that big cloth bag, master, shall we go over now?" ”
"No, I'll rest tonight and I'll go back tomorrow." The items prepared by Rong Yuanhang this time have many small items, such as clothes, craft mirrors, trinkets, and even food. Some of these are gifts for Zhou Kaishan's family, and if you want to gain a foothold in the other world, then it is best to deal with the locals. Others, just bring them over and try to sell them, and if you can earn local currency, that's the best.
