Chapter 103: Mystery Box
Chen Yang walked in front thoughtfully, and Li Ran followed behind with the box.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Ran chased after him, only to find that he was holding the old man's business card in his hand.
"Brother, don't you really want to find that old man?"
"He's so old, shouldn't we rush to find him?"
Li Ran asked several times in a row.
Chen Yang raised his head, stared into the distance, and sighed: "It is estimated that only that old man can help us solve the puzzle, let's go!"
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two stood at the entrance of the Ruishi Museum.
Li Ran hugged the box and his arm was sore, and his brows were full of unbearable: "Brother, we've been standing here for an hour, and the old man hasn't come yet, shouldn't we have been tricked?"
At noon, Chen Yang contacted the old Yang Zhenhua and made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the museum at one o'clock, who knew that after waiting for nearly an hour, he did not see Yang Zhenhua's figure.
He also had a little doubt in his heart if he was really fooled.
"Forget it, let's go back!"
Chen Yang said in disappointment.
When he turned around, he found the figure of the old man Yang Zhenhua, as well as Yang Zhenhua's granddaughter, who was hurrying over.
"Grandpa, slow down!"
"Oh, look at it, people are still waiting at the door!"
Yang Zhenhua walked tremblingly with a cane, and was very anxious in his heart, for fear that Chen Yang would think that he was so old and did not keep his promises, and left with the box.
When he came to Chen Yang, Yang Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly apologized: "Comrade Xiao Chen, I'm really sorry, I encountered something at home temporarily, and I delayed it, so I made you wait for a long time!"
"No, we've only been here for a short time!"
Chen Yang smiled slightly.
Yang Zhenhua was excited: "Let's go, let's go first." ”
Then Yang Zhenhua took Chen Yang and the others into the Ruishi Museum.
The museum is very large, with many old antiquities, and there are many people who come to visit the museum.
Yang Zhenhua led Chen Yang and the others all the way to the backstage studio of the museum, and walked through the corridor to the research institute.
"Less, hurry up, take out everything from the guy!"
Yang Zhenhua shouted excitedly while leading Chen Yang to the special workbench of the research institute.
Li Ran put the box on the workbench, his eyes looked around, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "The Antiquities Research Institute looks like this!"
After a while, a boy in work clothes, about twenty-five years old, full of scholarly breath, walked towards Chen Yang and them with a smiling face: "Teacher, this is the box you said?"
Yang Zhenhua smiled: "Come, let me introduce to you, this is Xiao Xiao, Yu Ning, is the thirteenth student I led, and he is also a high-achieving student who has a very deep study of antiquities." ”
Then he introduced: "This is the owner of the box, Mr. Chen Yang." ”
Under Yang Zhenhua's introduction, Chen Yang and Yu Ning glanced at each other and nodded to each other.
"Let's take a look at the box first. ”
Yu Ning wants to know more about the box than people.
A few people came to the front of the box, Yu Ning took a magnifying glass and observed it carefully, his eyes gradually widened, and he said in astonishment: "How is the pattern of this box so similar to the pattern on the key advertised by the auction house tomorrow?"
"I think too!"
Yang Zhenhua nodded.
Chen Yang's eyes widened, and he immediately said, "The key?" is the key that matches the keyhole?"
Yu Ning nodded, and said with great certainty: "Well, it's very similar! I have a hunch, that key must be the key to this box!"
"Where is that key now?" Chen Yang quickly asked.
Yu Ning pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and sighed: "That key is the private collection of a foreign collector, it's really unfortunate, the collector plans to auction it at the Ruishi auction venue tomorrow, and the reserve price is quite high!"
"Auction?"
Yang Yuxin suddenly remembered that a few days ago, someone from the auction hall sent an invitation to the old man: "Is it the auction in the Southern District tomorrow?"
Yu Ning nodded: "It's a private auction, and you can't enter without an invitation." ”
"We have, the people in the club sent an invitation letter to grandpa, asking grandpa to go as a treasure expert to identify, didn't grandpa still say that he didn't want to go, let me push it?"
Yang Yuxin looked at Yang Zhenhua and said seriously.
Yang Zhenhua immediately reacted and patted his head: "Oh, look at my head, is there such a thing, Yuxin, did you push it?"
"Not yet!" Yang Yuxin shook her head.
Yang Zhenhua was overjoyed and said: "That's great, you can call the auction house immediately, and say that if you want me to go to the treasure appraisal, you can also give a few more treasure appreciation places!"
"Howler!"
Yang Yuxin immediately went to make a phone call.
Chen Yang smiled slightly, and said gratefully: "Old man, I didn't expect you to be so famous in the antique world, thank you for not caring about our suspicions about you this morning." ”
Yang Zhenhua touched the goatee and said: "Hahaha, it's okay, if I were you, you would also have a vigilant heart!"
"Old man, you are really as wise as a torch, you glanced at our box in the morning, and you can see the subtlety of our box, it's amazing!"
Li Ran praised again and again.
After a while, Yang Yuxin came back happily: "Grandpa, the quota is done, but tomorrow afternoon, we have to enter the auction an hour early, there are more than ten kinds of things that need to be appraised by you, and you have to issue a treasure appraisal certificate!"
Yang Zhenhua nodded: "Okay, then tomorrow you are responsible for bringing my treasure appreciation private seal, let's go and find out!"
At night.
In order to express his gratitude, Chen Yang invited Yang Zhenhua's granddaughter and Yu Ning to dinner with him in a five-star hotel in the western district.
Before the meal, Chen Yang learned from Yang Yuxin's mouth that Old Man Yang was one of the most famous treasure experts in Rui City, and as long as it was an object that Yang Zhenhua had stamped over his eyes, the price would have to be at least doubled.
At the dinner table, Old Man Yang's cheeks were slightly red from drinking, and he raised his cup with a smile: "Xiao Chen, I didn't expect us to be so fateful, it turns out that you also live in Beisheng Road, and we are only two villas apart!"
Chen Yang was also a little surprised, and smiled: "That house was bought by me not long ago, and I am not very familiar with the surrounding neighbors. ”
"Hehe, brother, your peach blossoms are too prosperous, right? That Miss Yang, who has been looking at you with a blank eye, has a spring color and peach blossoms in her eyes, tsk, envy!"
Li Ran turned his head sideways and muttered quietly behind Chen Yang.
Chen Yang also found out during the meal, but he deliberately avoided making eye contact with Yang Yuxin.
He glanced at Li Ran, and then said to Yang Zhenhua: "Old man, Yu Ning, you eat some, if you don't have enough food, you can order more!"
"It's enough, where are so many dishes not enough, you can eat it too, you can eat it too!" Yang Zhenhua couldn't close his mouth happily.
Sweeping her eyes, Yang Yuxin's eyes were full of spring, sometimes shy and sometimes smiling like flowers.
