Chapter 11 People from the capital
Mr. Su Tingsu's home is far from the city center, but the surrounding vegetation is very good, and there is a small river in the east. This community is not very old, and it is said that it is the first batch of European-style villas in the city.
"I said Lao Su, don't lie to me, why hasn't the little girl who sold the box come yet?" The speaker was an old man, about sixty years old, with gray hair and a very ruddy face, sitting on the sofa in a Mao suit but constantly looking at the door.
Su Ting looked helplessly at the table clock in the living room, it was only half past eight. "I made an appointment with the little girl to meet at nine o'clock. You're too anxious! ”
"How can you not be in a hurry?" The old man's eyes widened, "If that's what you say, it's a treasure!" I don't change how much I give! Is she really willing to make a move? ”
Looking at his anxious old friend, Su Ting smiled and said, "After so many years, you still have this temper!" "Su Ting's old friend is not simple. There are three major families and four major families in the capital. The three major families refer to the red family where the three founding fathers of Fu, Peng, and Pei were located, the legendary red top and yellow belt. The four great families are Jing, Ye, Shan, and Li who are mainly engaged in business, and have a deep background, and there are many talents but they are rarely involved in politics, no matter how history changes, they have always stood there and never changed.
Ye Rui, the contemporary head of the Ye family. It seems to be short-tempered, and his personality is big and transformed, but in fact he is very bold and shrewd. Ye Rui was Su Ting's best friend when he was in Beijing. When the previous leader died, Su Ting happened to be his imperial physician. At the sensitive moment of the replacement of the old and the new, Su Ting decisively left that circle. With Ye Rui's help, Su Ting retired very smoothly and was not implicated at all. However, many people think it's a pity, after all, Su Ting's medical skills are very superb, and the bigger the person, the more he has to spare his life.
Ye Rui took a sip of tea and sighed, "Are you really planning to nest in this small place?" It's been so many years, you should rest assured! ”
Su Ting shook his head, "I don't have that heart anymore, this is my hometown, and I have a sense of intimacy!" I have enough of them in my hands to squander! ”
Ye Rui shook his head, "You are inevitably lonely alone, I think you can find another wife!" ”
"Poof! Ahem, ahem! Su Ting was really choked, "You are endless!" How old am I...... I still have a few distant relatives here, and I plan to pick a few good seedlings to pass on the medical skills, and keep a person for myself. ”
"We're all old!" After Ye Rui sighed, the two were silent for a while.
"Master, Miss Lin is here!" It was Su Lao's housekeeper who came in to pass the word, he had followed Su Lao since he was young, and now he came here with Su Lao again.
Ye Rui immediately came alive again, "Hurry up!" Please come in! ”
Lin Lin had already sensed the situation inside the door, so when she entered the door and saw Ye Rui, she just greeted politely, and was not surprised.
Ye Rui looked at Lin Lin's calm expression and liked it very much. You know, he's still very strict when he's not smiling. In the whole family, only his little grandson is not afraid of himself, and everyone else carefully looks at his face and speaks and acts.
If Lin Lin knew Ye Rui's thoughts, she would probably die of laughter, not to mention that she had the aura of cultivating the third layer of qi and cultivating to a mortal would not affect her at all, let alone say that she would not be bluffed lightly if she had experienced two lives.
"You're the little girl who bought the box?" Ye Rui entered the topic first. Can't wait to see the objects.
The little girl who sells boxes? Lin Lin was embarrassed unconsciously, she remembered the little girl picking mushrooms, the little girl selling matches, and the little match girl selling girls......
Su Lao understood and hurriedly introduced, "This young lady's surname is Lin, Miss Lin is my old friend, Ye Rui." ”
Lin Lin's last life was an ordinary life, and naturally she couldn't get in touch with such high-end characters, so she didn't have any impression. He only smiled and said hello again, "Hello Ye Lao, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Ye Rui didn't answer, just looked at Lin Lin carefully, and laughed out loud after a while, "Okay, good, this girl is good!" I'm glad to meet you too! Stop talking nonsense, I want to see your baby. ”
Lin Lin and Su Lao looked at each other, and Su Lao directly quipped, "Yes, yes, let him take a look!" I guess I just thought about the baby last night and didn't fall asleep! ”
Lin Lin took out the wooden box and handed it to Ye Lao very casually, but Ye Lao was startled, "You just put it in your bag like this?" ”
Lin Lin blinked and didn't understand what Ye Rui meant, of course she didn't put it in her bag, but took it out directly from the space.
Ye Rui looked at Lin Lin's ignorant appearance and muttered in a low voice, "Tyrannical things!" ”
Lin Lin laughed embarrassedly, she really didn't know much about antiques. Since discovering the new function of the rune, Lin Lin has been researching and developing the secret of the rune for the past two days, and has not put his mind on this wooden box.
Ye Rui carefully observed this wooden box, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the box being Qinan agarwood, but it is not an ordinary agarwood, this kind of taste that has been impregnated by history reflects its extraordinary value. The brocade inside the box is a black-red pattern, and the pattern is typical of the Han Dynasty style, which is obviously a royal thing. Look at the surface of the box carved with the auspicious pattern of the crane, surrounded by moire. Ye Rui's hands trembled a little, their Ye family lasted for hundreds of years, there were countless antique cultural relics, this box was not the most valuable nor the most precious, but he didn't know why his body immediately felt comfortable when he held it in his hand. Ye Rui didn't think much about it and asked, "What is the origin of this box?" Why do I feel so comfortable holding it in my hand? ”
This box has been placed in a place where the aura of the space is so strong for more than a thousand years, even ordinary boxes will be contaminated with aura, let alone Qi Nan agarwood? Of course, Lin Lin couldn't say that, so she could only say perfunctorily, "I think, in addition to the peculiar characteristics of its material, it is also because it has always been used to store medicinal herbs." ”
"Herbs?" Ye Rui looked at Su Ting inquiringly.
Su Ting nodded and replied, "Yes, the best wild ginseng that I said is more than 140 years old and is in this box." I also found this box because I was looking at ginseng. ”
Ye Rui silently calculated in his heart, in this way, this box is extremely attractive in terms of its own material, long history and its added value, not to mention these, even this nourishing body has to be obtained anyway. "Miss Lin, I don't know what price you plan to sell this box for?"
Lin Lin asked rhetorically, "Why don't Ye Lao give a price?" ”
Ye Rui felt a little difficult in his heart, this value is really difficult to estimate, and he said after a long time, "If this Han Dynasty Qi Nan carved crane auspicious brocade wooden box is auctioned, it will probably reach about eight million, or even higher." But its warming effect on the body is invaluable. So, I'll give you a whole number, what do you think of 10 million? ”
Linlin's face was not obvious, but she gasped in her heart, eight million! Ten million? She knew that the more than 20 million Qi Nan agarwood ornaments auctioned in later generations could not compare to her wooden box. But now it's only been nine years, and she thinks it's good to be able to sell for two million. I didn't expect the value of the wooden box to be so high.
In fact, the price of the wooden box given by Lin Rui is very appropriate, Lin Lin only knew that the ornament in later generations was auctioned for more than 20 million, but she didn't know that it was an object in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was far less valuable than the wooden box in her hand.
Lin Lin was still a little dizzy after completing the transaction, she left quickly, just wanted to go home quickly and then get into the space to count 'zero'. A qiē is a little unreal, and happiness comes too suddenly.
And Lin Lin didn't know, after she left, Ye Rui's face became stern.
"Lao Su, what is this girl's background?"
Su Ting was stunned for a moment, "It's just a meeting in Pingshui, how do I know?" What's wrong? ”
Ye Rui frowned, "I can't see through her, she shouldn't be an ordinary person." ”
"What do you mean?" Su Lao wondered, "You mean ......?"
Ye Rui nodded, "When she first came in, I pressed her with 'momentum', but she looked calm. It shows that she must be a first-class person like us. Possible...... It's even better than my skills! ”
"Impossible!" Su Ting was taken aback, "How old is she?" You have reached the peak of the day after tomorrow, and Jing Bin, the most genius in your ancient martial arts world, is about the same age as this girl, and has not yet reached the peak level of the day after tomorrow. If this girl's cultivation is higher than yours, wouldn't she have broken through to the innate realm? How many people are there in Huaxia? ”
Ye Rui shook his head, "Your news is too closed, in fact, every family has martial artists who have broken through the innate nature, and there are even cultivators who have stepped into the immortal path. It's just that this part of the people is covered very tightly...... These good seedlings are our hope, and if one or two of the family enter 'there', they can ensure the prosperity and strength of the family. ”
Su Lao was only silent for a while, and Gu Wu and even Immortal Dao were far away from him. There are not many people in this world who know about it. "If she is an ancient warrior, how can no one know? How can they sell their precious herbs and treasures? "In Su Lao's worldview, the families of the ancient warriors are very wealthy. For example, the one in front of you.
"Maybe it's a hidden family, maybe it's a branch of a family that has been left out...... "Maybe it's an illegitimate child or something." Of course, Ye Rui may not have said the latter. If this girl's cultivation is really so high, the owner of the family who abandoned her will regret jumping off the building if she knows it.
Ye Rui asked his subordinates to track down Lin Lin, but the result was predictable. That's no result! And Lin Lin has already started another plan.
