Although Liu Cui'e and Mu Laoshi didn't understand Chen Ran's words, looking at Lu Lingfeng's face, they understood that Lu Lingfeng was unhappy with what their "son-in-law" said. This made the two of them look at each other, a little unsure of what to do.
One side is a son-in-law, and the other is a cousin's son-in-law. I really don't know who to speak for. Of course, in their hearts, their son-in-law must be the most important, but in terms of face, they have to be decent, and the two of them don't
I understand, but my son-in-law and my cousin's son-in-law are obviously well-connected people. They are afraid of saying the wrong thing and making either party unhappy, so they will stop talking.
Mu Weiwei also turned her attention to Chen Ran and looked at it curiously. She could still understand what Chen Ran meant. Could it be that he understood this too?
Mu Weiwei was looking at Chen Ran. Chen Ran suddenly raised his head and glanced at her, but she was startled. She lowered her head in panic, and her face was burning for some reason. This scene was just right for her.
When Liu Cui'e saw it, she immediately burst into laughter. Obviously, Chen Ran was regarded by her as her son-in-law and her daughter flirting with each other. It's just that her daughter was a bit shy. After the guests left, she had to be nice
Preach her, if it doesn't work, let's forget it, maybe the son-in-law likes the shy look of his daughter...
Now she has really identified Chen Ran as her son-in-law, and she doesn't blame her for it. The son-in-law is rich, which gives her face. What's more important is that he has a good temper, good character, and is good to his daughter... In short, now
In her eyes, everything about Chen Ran is good.
Not to mention what she thought, let's talk about Lu Lingfeng. Although Chen Ran said that he had misunderstood, how could he take this sentence seriously? He didn't say anything. He took the piece of gold nugget and looked at it for a long time.
, and didn't feel there were any flaws, so he felt relieved, raised his head and looked at Chen Ran, and chuckled: "Brother Chen, no matter how you look at it, I think this is genuine. How about you take another look?"
"Maybe I got it wrong." Chen Ran shook his head and said. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Lu Lingfeng's pretense, he was not the kind of person who was shallow and unforgiving. He mentioned it, and Lu Lingfeng thought he was a bitch.
Gold is genuine, so there is no need to fight to the end.
"Brother Chen, let's take another look."
However, it is obvious that Lu Lingfeng is the kind of person who accepts death. In other words, compared to Chen Ran, Lu Lingfeng is more like a person in the collecting circle. Chen Ran can maintain an indifferent attitude towards antiques, but Lu Lingfeng is completely immersed in antiques.
Among them, this is like a scholar. If someone says that his point of view is wrong, he will definitely go to this person and argue with the other person. He will continue to argue until the other person admits that he is wrong. If he successfully convinces the other person, this
Undoubtedly, it will give people a sense of accomplishment, and Lu Lingfeng is almost such a person. If Chen Ran is not convinced, he will feel uncomfortable as if he has a thorn in his heart if he collects this nugget of gold.
, What a man wants is face, isn't it? Lu Lingfeng can't afford to embarrass this person if he is questioned in public.
"You don't need to read it, Brother Lu, I really don't understand this. When I saw this thing, I suddenly thought of the plot in the movie, and then I said it." Chen Ran shook his head helplessly. He could say
If you saw it wrong, you can say you don't understand it, but you won't admit that this thing is genuine. This is a matter of principle.
Lu Lingfeng looked at Chen Ran for a long time, and then put the gold nugget into the box. Just when Chen Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Lingfeng suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Cui'e: "Aunt Liu, you
Can you find a bottle of lime water?"
Liu Cui'e was startled, and then nodded in panic: "Yes, yes, this thing is easy to find!" Liu Cui'e's home is in a vegetable market. In such a place, it is easy to find lime water and ordinary dried vegetables.
They are all available in the store.
Chen Ran frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the other party really wanted to use this method to identify it. In this case, he had nothing to say.
"Xiaowei, go to Old Feng's house on the street and ask him for something..." Liu Cui'e found a broken bowl and handed it to Mu Weiwei, but as soon as Mu Weiwei stood up and took the broken bowl, Liu Cui'e suddenly pressed her down again
Chen Ran's side.
"Forget it, I'll go and talk to Chen Ran and the others..."
"Mom, what are you doing..."
Mu Weiwei was almost mad. She had never seen a mother push her daughter into someone else's arms like this. She really didn't care about her grandma anymore. Liu Cui'e ignored her and gave her a sideways look. It was obvious that she was disobedient.
, had a tendency to give her a meal after the guest left, which made her very angry.
Seeing Chen Ran sitting there without saying a word, she was even more angry. She moved to the side with a stern face, stretched out her small hand and pinched Chen Ran's big hand that was pressed on the chair.
She pinched her once and there was no response, so she pinched her a second time, and the result...
It's not that Chen Ran doesn't want to explain, but there are outsiders here after all. It's inappropriate to say such things in front of outsiders. If you don't say it, Liu Cui'e and Mu Laoshi will definitely be embarrassed. Another point is that Liu Cui'e regards him as a human being.
She married her son-in-law, but didn’t say anything. How could he speak? Mu Weiwei took her anger out on him and pinched him once, but he didn’t care. If she pinched him once, he didn’t care. If he pinched twice, he wouldn’t care. He had big hands.
As soon as he turned it over, he directly held her little hand and pressed her little hand on the chair.
Suddenly Chen Ran held her hand, and Mu Weiwei's face instantly turned red. She struggled twice but did not struggle out. She was afraid of being discovered by her father sitting aside, so she did not dare to struggle. She just kept it secret.
With her father and cousin, Chen Ran was holding her little hands like this, as if... Fortunately, Chen Ran felt that she was not moving, so he let go of her hand, which made her secretly relieved.
Liu Cui'e didn't ask everyone to wait any longer. She only needed two or three minutes before she came back with the broken bowl.
Because Chen Ran said that the bottle should be sealed, Liu Cui'e could only find another transparent plastic tea cup. This tea cup was still new. It was obviously unusable after it was filled with lime water. Liu Cui'e felt very distressed, but now she also couldn't use it.
With no choice but to lose money, she poured the soaked lime water into the bottle and handed it to Lu Lingfeng.
Looking at Chen Ran calmly, Lu Lingfeng took the gold nugget out of the box with his own hands and put it into the tea cup filled with lime water, and then closed the lid of the tea cup.
After completing this step, everyone present, including Lu Lingfeng, stared at the tea cup with wide eyes.
The gold nugget was soaked in lime water for a long time, but there was no reaction at all, which made Lu Lingfeng completely relieved. Although he was confident that he would not make a mistake, after being said like this, he was inevitably a little worried about the gain and loss.
"Brother Chen, is this right?" Lu Lingfeng looked up at Chen Ran and laughed, looking quite pleased with himself.
Everyone else also turned their attention to Chen Ran, and now they could tell that Chen Ran had made a mistake. Although Mu Weiwei was angry with Chen Ran, she had good intentions after all. She lowered her head and bit her lip, stretched out her little hand and squeezed it.
With a flick of Chen Ran's finger, Liu Cui'e saw that her son-in-law had lost face, and was afraid that her son-in-law would lose face, so she quickly opened her mouth to talk about it.
Chen Ran was calm and composed. This piece of nugget gold has been imitated for more than a hundred years. How can it be effective so easily? Sure enough, before Liu Cui'e opened her mouth, the lime water in the bottle suddenly appeared.
A bubble...
"There are bubbles!" Mu Weiwei had been paying attention to the teacup. As soon as bubbles appeared, she saw them immediately. When she shouted, everyone's attention was immediately attracted, and they all quickly looked over.
But I saw that at first there were only a few bubbles floating from the gold nugget in the tea cup, but not long after, bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the gold nugget, but they did not float out. I waited for a long time,
The hair floated up and gurgled, as if the boiling water was boiling...
At this time, there was no complacency on Lu Lingfeng's face. He looked at the gold nugget in the tea cup and was stunned. Except for Chen Ran, everyone else was also stunned. If it bubbled up, it meant that the gold nugget was fake.
Already.
The gold nugget in the tea cup did not bubble for too long. The bubbling did not last long before it gradually stopped and then stopped responding. Only a few bubbles occasionally floated up. The surface of the gold nugget itself was still there.
It's just bubbles.
Lu Lingfeng's expression changed again and again. He quickly grabbed the bottle of lime water and opened the cap. Then he poured the lime water in the bottle into the bowl and poured the gold nugget on the table.
Everyone looked around, only to see that except for the gold on the surface, the gold nugget was still in good condition, and the places that had been "gnawed" by dogs seemed to be corroded, with cracks appearing one after another.
After staring blankly for a long time, Lu Lingfeng took a long breath and said bitterly: "You really made a mistake!"
Mu Weiwei, Liu Cui'e, Mu Laoshi, and Zhao Ying were all dumbfounded and stunned, not knowing what to say.
"This imitation method of nugget gold was imitated by contemporary nugget gold masters from the Caijinmen lineage in the late Qing Dynasty. It is said that the imitation method has been lost. It is not a loss to buy such a lesson for 160,000 yuan..."
As Chen Ran spoke, he took a cup of tea and poured it on the bubbling gold nugget, extinguishing all the bubbles. Even if this thing is a fake, it is still considered a treasure, let alone
For the rest, at least the gold on the surface is real.
"Caijinmen?" To Chen Ran's surprise, Lu Lingfeng seemed to have heard of the Caijinmen lineage. Lu Lingfeng was stunned, and then murmured: "What Brother Chen said is that 160,000 yuan buys such a lesson.
It’s really not a loss.”
As he spoke, Lu Lingfeng suddenly wiped away the frustration on his face and laughed: "The teacher has always taught me that the real masters are hidden among the people. I have always been unconvinced by this sentence, but now I am convinced. Unexpectedly,
This trip to the Central Plains is a worthwhile one to meet such an expert as Brother Chen. Mr. Chen, let’s get acquainted again. I’m Lu Lingfeng, please give me your advice.”
After Lu Lingfeng finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and introduced himself formally. When introducing himself, he also used ancient etiquette, which made Chen Ran slightly stunned. This kind of etiquette seemed to be only used by old antiques. Unexpectedly, Lu Lingfeng
I also used this...
"Chen Ran."
Chen Ran signed up directly, took the business card handed over by the other party, and glanced at it, Chief Appraiser of Shanghai Eagle Eye Pavilion. This Eagle Eye Pavilion should be an antique store or antique auction company. The name is really weird.
"Chen Ran?"
Hearing Chen Ran's registration, Lu Lingfeng's expression suddenly became weird, and everyone could see that when Chen Ran first introduced his name when he walked in, the other party didn't take it to heart at all. In fact, this was indeed the case.
Lu Lingfeng only remembered Chen Ran's surname, Chen.
"The Chen Ran who knows the carving method of dividing waves with eight swords and is called Dragon and Phoenix Jade?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Lingfeng knew about Chen Ran, but when he asked, his expression became more and more weird.
Chen Ran nodded, a little strange: "Exactly, Brother Lu knows about me?"
Hearing Chen Ran's admission, Lu Lingfeng smiled strangely, but the smile was a little bitter: "I'm not afraid to tell Brother Chen that I came here for Brother Chen during this trip to the Central Plains, but I didn't expect... Haha, I didn't expect it.
Ah, it's really...Brother Chen, let's say goodbye and hope to see you next year at the treasure appraisal conference held every five years in Beijing."
As they were talking, Lu Lingfeng suddenly stopped talking and said goodbye directly, which confused the three members of the Mu family and Chen Ran. The three members of the Mu family hurriedly tried to persuade them to stay, but Lu Lingfeng insisted on leaving, and Zhao Ying had no choice.
, could only leave with Lu Lingfeng.
After sending them away, the three members of the Mu family looked at each other in confusion as to why they were leaving so suddenly. Not to mention they were confused, even Chen Ran was confused.
"Xiaowei, you sit and talk with Chen Ran while I go cook." After being stunned for a long time, Liu Cui'e looked at Chen Ran happily. She now looked at Chen Ran as if she were a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looked at her, the more satisfied she was. Just now
Although she didn't know what was going on, she could tell that her son-in-law was a capable person. He was a good person, not only rich, but also talented. Where could she find such a son-in-law? He was really a treasure.
Mu Weiwei groaned and looked at Chen Ran helplessly.
"Don't do it, just find a restaurant to eat." There is no good food to entertain Chen Ran at home. The last time Chen Ran gave so many gifts, it was enough for the family to have some spare money. I don't know how to cook.
After waiting for a long time, Mu Laoshi simply proposed to go out to eat.
"Yes, Aunt Liu, let's go out to eat."
Chen Ran looked at the time, and it was already noon. It was obviously inappropriate to leave at this time, and cooking would be troublesome, so he would take the three members of the Mu family out to eat. Chen Ran and Mu Laoshi both said so, and Liu Cui'e naturally had no objections.
After closing the door, Chen Ran drove them directly to Wangyue Tower to eat seafood. Liu Cui'e and Mu Laoshi had never eaten in such a high-end place, so they just asked them to find a cheaper place. They were all here, but Chen Ran
I also asked them to move to another place and eat directly here.
The boss also knew Chen Ran and entertained him personally, giving Chen Ran a lot of face. While eating, Chen Ran explained his relationship with Mu Weiwei intentionally or unintentionally. This time he learned the lesson and did not make excuses for Mu Gang.
, Liu Cui'e and Mu Laoshi believed it, but their faces were a little confused. They had already decided that Chen Ran was their son-in-law. The neighbors in the street had also spread the word. Liu Cui'e took Chen Ran's things so naturally.
Because they accepted Chen Ran as their son-in-law, they suddenly said that this was not the case. They couldn't accept it, and they couldn't eat anymore. They turned their backs on the spot and wanted to leave directly.
Chen Ran didn't expect their reaction to be so big. In desperation, he could only hold Mu Weiwei's hand and said that he was chasing Mu Weiwei now, but Mu Weiwei hadn't agreed yet. Liu Cui'e and Mu Laoshi
They all looked at their daughters to see what they would say.
Mu Weiwei was also a little dumbfounded and could only nodded with a grimace. Liu Cui'e then smiled happily and pulled her daughter to her side to talk quietly. She didn't know what she was talking about. She only saw Mu Weiwei's face was red and her head was lowered.
Head, extremely shy.
Chen Ran sighed softly and thought about leaving it like this for now. In this case, he could legitimately take care of the Mu family and wait until Mu Gang came out.
Liu Cui'e pulled Mu Weiwei and whispered, while Chen Ran drank wine with Mu Laoshi. After dinner, Chen Ran drove the family of three back home. Mu Weiwei had classes in the afternoon, and Chen Ran took her
Sent back to school.
"Chen Ran, what should we do now?" Mu Weiwei asked hesitantly when getting out of the car.
"What to do?"
"Now, what should we do now?" Mu Weiwei lowered her head,
Chen Ran glanced at her, reached out and touched her head, and said with a chuckle: "That's it for now, call me if you need anything."
Mu Weiwei glanced at Chen Ran, said obediently, then opened the door and got out of the car.
While Chen Ran watched her running into the school gate with two legs, he took out the business card Lu Lingfeng gave him and took a look. Lu Lingfeng's weirdness really surprised him...
Eagle Eye Pavilion? And what kind of treasure appraisal conference?
For him, these are a bit far away. The most important thing now is to find a way to earn 8 million as soon as possible and win the villa. This is the top priority.
Chen Ran did not waste time, left Tianzhong University, and immediately went to the antique market in Tianzhong City. If he wanted to earn eight million in this short period of time, the only way at present was to try his luck and see if he could make it.
Can't pick it up and miss it.
However, the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
He visited the antique markets in Tianzhong City and drove to antique markets in two nearby cities, but he didn't find anything good.
In this era when the market is full of fakes, even if he has special powers, he can only hope to find something missing...
After struggling all afternoon, he was very tired, but he got nothing. When he got home, it was already evening.
Not to mention, he suddenly received another call from Ma Zhiyuan just after dinner.
Things have changed!
