Cai Xiufen asked this deliberately because she had this idea.
"Professor Nian is not familiar with the antique streets in City A. I specially took her to purchase the gifts. She personally selected the gifts here." Mu Shaoling knew what Cai Xiufen had in mind and helped her out.
In her heart, anything related to herself will pose a threat to her.
"Oh no wonder, Shao Ling, the antique shop you mentioned, the things in it should be very expensive, right? Professor Nian is just a researcher, his job is decent, and his salary is good, but those antiques cost tens of millions every minute, Professor Nian
, won’t it be a big burden to buy something so expensive?” Cai Xiufen continued, even if Mu Shaoling intended to protect Nian Mu, she would not give up.
Nian Mu was helpless, seeing that Cai Xiufen just refused to let her go.
She said: "It's not expensive, as long as the elderly like it, that's fine."
"Isn't it expensive?" Cai Xiufen raised a smile and looked at the packaging box in the butler's hand. "There are no inexpensive antiques. Could it be that you bought a fake and were deceived?"
She mentioned it deliberately. Mr. Mu hated it when others used lies to fool him.
Especially when it comes to antiques, what old people hate most are counterfeiters.
Knowing what kind of person Cai Xiufen is, Nian Mu felt a headache. When he was about to explain, he heard Mu Shaoling say: "Is it true or false? Let me test it and you will know?"
She was stunned. She must have known that Mu Shaoling would not buy fake things to fool the old man, so even if she opened the gift now, it would be fine.
But he never bothered to argue with Cai Xiufen, unless the other party violated his negative instinct.
But now, Mu Shaoling looked at Cai Xiufen with a calculating look on his face, and said coldly: "Since Auntie is worried that Professor Nian will be deceived by others, I will take advantage of the fact that there are not many guests now, so I will open the gift and test it, grandpa
Let’s take a look, so that if Professor Nian really buys a fake, it’s easier to pursue it.”
Mr. Mu didn't want to do this, but Cai Xiufen was so aggressive. If he didn't follow Mu Shaoling's words, he might not have peace tonight.
At the same time, a guest standing aside also said: "This is a good method. They say that the old man's ability to appreciate antiques is first-rate. Why not take this opportunity to open our eyes."
Nian Mu listened helplessly to what they said. When Cai Xiufen made a scene, others followed suit.
It's just that I want to see my own jokes.
It's a pity that she doesn't understand antiques, but she is also confident that the antique gifts in the housekeeper's hands will not be fake.
Mu Shaoling looked at Nian Mu and asked, "The gift is from Professor Nian. Professor Nian, do you agree to open it now?"
Nianmu saw the determination in his eyes and nodded, "No problem, let's take it apart."
When Mr. Mu saw that Nian Mu had said the same thing, he asked the housekeeper to open it.
The waiter heard this and brought scissors. The butler placed the gift on the table and carefully opened the exquisite packaging.
Under the package was a sandalwood box. Mr. Mu smiled when he saw the box.
The moment he saw the box, he understood.
Nian Mu didn't know what gift Mu Shaoling prepared for the old man, so he watched silently with bated breath. Cai Xiufen saw this and had another interpretation.
Her expression is so serious and nervous, there must be something fishy inside.
"This box looks good, but the contents inside are uncertain. Today's counterfeiters put a lot of effort into the packaging in order to make people buy these fake antiques, just to deceive buyers." Cai Xiufen said bitterly.
said.
Mr. Mu glanced at her and cursed in his heart, she was ignorant.
Just by looking at the box, you can tell how old it is.
The housekeeper glanced at the old man, and after getting his nod of agreement, he opened the box.
Inside is an inkstone.
The housekeeper carefully picked up the inkstone and handed it to Mr. Mu.
Mr. Mu held it, looked at it carefully, and concluded, "It's true."
"How could it be true? How much does this really cost?" Cai Xiufen didn't believe it, thinking that the old man said this deliberately to help Nian Mu step down.
Mr. Mu snorted coldly and said: "This is an inkstone from the Qing Dynasty. It has a certain age. However, at that time, the quality of this inkstone was average and not high-quality. So now, it is not expensive. As long as you know how to choose, you can get it cheap.
Buy it.”
When Nian Mu saw the inkstone, he took a deep breath. After all, antique inkstones are expensive.
But after hearing the old man's explanation, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Mu Shaoling had specially prepared this for himself.
The elderly like to collect antiques, especially inkstones.
So he deliberately bought an antique inkstone, but the quality was not of the highest quality. Even if she said that she personally selected and purchased it, it would still be believed.
After all, she is an ordinary person and cannot afford an expensive inkstone.
When Cai Xiufen heard that it was true, but the price was high, she felt a little relieved from the injustice in her heart, and sarcastically said: "It turns out to be a defective product. Professor Nian has some intentions."
"Mr. Mu likes inkstones, so I deliberately bought this inkstone. The boss saw that I was going to give it to you as a birthday gift, so he deliberately discounted it, so I could afford it." Nian Mu said deliberately, but Cai Xiufen refused.
She felt better, but she also made her feel ashamed, "This is within my ability. I hope you will like it, old man."
"I like it, I like it so much." Mr. Mu said quickly. In order to express his love for this gift, he deliberately dodged it a few times and then carefully put it back in the box.
"I have collected several similar inkstones. If I put this one up, my shelf will be full. Butler, when I go back later, you can help me put them away. Be careful not to bump them." The old man ordered.
The butler replied respectfully: "Yes, old man."
Cai Xiufen was very angry at his words. She originally wanted to embarrass Nian Mu and make her lose face in front of the old man, but she didn't expect that she was saved by her words.
Mu Shaoling on the side did not expect that Nian Mu would say such a thing.
In the past, she would always put up with Cai Xiufen's temper and deliberately make things difficult for her own sake, but now, she would pretend to be good in front of the old man, so that the old man would not care about the quality of the inkstone.
A bit interesting...
It seems that in the past three years, she has not only learned medical skills and martial arts, but her temperament has also undergone many changes.
More and more guests arrived, Mu Shaoling said: "Grandpa, there are more guests, please go in and sit down first."
The old man was old and couldn't stand often, and he was very tired from greeting guests, so he asked him to go in and sit.
