Yuan Xiangyu smiled and said, "I thought you were asking about something. Yeah, what's the matter? You didn't say you wanted to collect antiques, did you?"
"It's not that I want to collect it." Xu Lang said: "Listen to me first. I remember that you said that your grandfather used a famous painting by Qi Baishi to seduce you in order for you to take over his mantle, but you still didn't fall for it. "
"Yes." Yuan Xiangyu said with a smile: "He told me that the painting was priceless. If I learn treasure appraisal from him, all his collections will be passed on to me in the future. Humph, he is only my mother's child, and my mother also I’m the only child, and it’s as if if I don’t learn from him, his collection won’t be mine, hehe.”
"Let me go, then you are a hidden rich woman!" Xu Lang was very shocked.
Yuan Xiangyu covered her mouth and snickered: "You only know now."
Xu Lang immediately asked: "What is that famous painting by Qi Baishi about? Is it a shrimp?"
Qi Baishi's shrimps are so valuable, each piece is worth hundreds of millions, and many rich people are excited to see the shrimps. As the saying goes, if you don't have money, don't learn to collect.
Yuan Xiangyu said: "Yes, it looks like an orchid. It's been a while..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Lang suddenly shouted: "Really?"
Yuan Xiangyu was startled: "Hey, why are you so loud? It deafens me, bad guy!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xu Lang shrank his neck, looked outside, and said with a smile: "I got too carried away, so what, can you accompany me to your grandpa's place now?"
Yuan Xiangyu said: "Okay, I have nothing to do now, I will pick you up right away."
"Okay." Xu Lang hung up the phone, tidied up, and then went out and went downstairs.
After getting into Yuan Xiangyu's private car and driving not far, Yuan Xiangyu stopped the car on the side of the road and asked, "Are you buying my grandpa's painting?"
Xu Lang said: "It's not that I want to buy it, it's that someone wants to buy it."
Yuan Xiangyu asked: "Who is it?"
Xu Lang said: "The new mayor!"
"No way?" Yuan Xiangyu said with disbelief: "The mayor is a woman and she is so young, how can she know how to appreciate it?"
Xu Lang said: "It's like this. She said that her grandfather was a collector and collected three famous paintings of plum, bamboo and chrysanthemum from Qi Baishi's Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum. Only the orchid one is missing, which is a lifelong regret."
Yuan Xiangyu was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes." Xu Lang said: "It will be her grandfather's birthday in a few days. She really wanted to find this painting and give it to her grandfather as a birthday gift. After hearing this, I thought it was impossible to find it, but then I remembered that you once said that you Grandpa has a painting by Qi Baishi, and I asked you just now, you said that painting was of orchids, isn’t that just right?”
"This...could it happen by chance?" Yuan Xiangyu was surprised and couldn't believe it.
Then, she added: "But Xu Lang, my grandpa collected that painting as a family heirloom. I'm afraid he won't want to part with it."
Xu Lang grabbed Yuan Xiangyu's jade hand and said: "It all depends on the human effort, Xiangyu, you are now at a critical juncture. If you can sell this painting to the mayor, it will definitely be a huge help to you. Please help persuade your grandfather." How about it?"
Yuan Xiangyu was very moved: "Xu Lang, why are you so kind? You think about everything for me."
Xu Lang pinched her little nose: "Who told me to like you, hehe."
"I love you so much." Yuan Xiangyu was as tender as water. Seeing that no one was passing by in front of him, he quickly kissed Xu Lang's face.
Zangyu Zhai is located outside the south gate of Antique Street in Ninghai City.
When Xu Lang and Yuan Xiangyu walked in, a waitress immediately greeted Yuan Xiangyu: "Sister Yu is here."
Yuan Xiangyu smiled and said, "Well, is my grandpa here?"
"Here," the waitress said, "I seem to be studying a snuff bottle I just received."
Yuan Xiangyu said: "Okay, I'll go find him."
The office was upstairs. Yuan Xiangyu took Xu Lang upstairs. When he came to the door, he called: "Grandpa!"
The old man inside looked up and immediately showed a kind smile: "Haha, Xiaoyu is here."
Wen Yifeng is a famous collector in Ninghai City.
Yuan Xiangyu smiled and said: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you okay?"
Wen Yifeng had a serious face: "You know you haven't been here for a while, huh!"
Yuan Xiangyu walked over and hugged Wen Yifeng's neck and said coquettishly: "Oh, grandpa, I'm busy with work. I'm sorry. I'll be more diligent in the future."
"That's pretty much it." Wen Yifeng saw Xu Lang and asked, "Who is this young man?"
Yuan Xiangyu introduced: "His name is Xu Lang, he is the director of the municipal government office, and we are very good friends."
Xu Lang quickly said hello: "Hello, Mr. Wen."
"Hello, hello." Wen Yifeng looked at Xu Lang and began to praise: "What a energetic young man."
Xu Lang smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wen, for the compliment."
Wen Yifeng turned to look at his granddaughter and asked, "Xiaoyu, you and Director Xu are here, don't you just want to see me?"
Without waiting for Yuan Xiangyu to speak, Xu Lang immediately said: "Mr. Wen, to be honest, Director Yuan said that you have collected an orchid painting by Qi Baishi. I am an antique lover myself, so I want to appreciate it. I don't know if Mr. Wen can do it. It’s convenient.”
"This..." Wen Yifeng was suddenly in a dilemma. Just when he was thinking of what words to use to politely refuse, Yuan Xiangyu leaned next to his ear and whispered: "Director Xu is my savior. If he hadn't saved me a few days ago, I would have been dead." He was crushed to death by that building.”
"What?" Wen Yifeng was shocked: "Is he the Xiao Xu who jumped down from the sixth floor without any injuries while holding you in his arms?"
Yuan Xiangyu said: "Yes, that's him!"
"Ouch!" Wen Yifeng quickly stood up and grabbed Xu Lang's hand and shook it hard: "Director Xu, you are not only Xiaoyu's savior, but also my old man's savior. Thank you so much."
Xu Lang said: "You're welcome, Mr. Wen. We didn't have time to run down at that time, so we had to put all our efforts into it. The one who survived the catastrophe was also Director Yuan Fuhou. I owe it to her, haha."
Yuan Xiangyu rolled her eyes very cutely, and then her big eyes were full of love. She wanted to throw herself into Xu Lang's arms and bite him hard, so that he could fully appreciate her deep love, regardless of whether her grandpa would find out.
Wen Yifeng smiled and said: "Director Xu, you are really good at joking. You are credited with saving Xiaoyu. This is the first time I have seen such a humble young man like you."
Xu Lang supported Wen Yifeng and said, "I'm telling the truth. Mr. Wen, please sit down first and let's have a good chat."
Wen Yifeng said: "Since you are Xiaoyu's savior, there is no need to say anything else. I will take you home to appreciate Mr. Qi's masterpieces."
Xu Lang was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. Wen, thank you very much."
Yuan Xiangyu's grandmother has passed away, and Wen Yifeng is the only one in the family. In order to take good care of him, Yuan Xiangyu's mother hired a nanny for him.
