Chapter 42 Xu Jiaren's Baby
Xiao Nan didn't react so radically. Ai Xiaohan had already told him their identities before, so he naturally knew that they were here to find Mr. Ai.

"Why, do you know each other?" Mr. Ai asked suspiciously.

"Grandpa, he is the one I just told you about bullying me downstairs, grandpa, you have to make the decision for me." Xu Mumu said coquettishly, shaking old man Ai's arm.

Ai Xiaohan never liked this cousin very much, she stepped forward and said: "I have seen the whole incident clearly, and I can't blame Xiao Nan for this incident."

Mr. Ai looked at Xu Mumu and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of temper you have, little girl. If you don't bully others, you've already burnt incense. Who else would dare to bully you?"

Xu Mumu pouted, and said unconvinced: "No way, he is very obedient, okay?"

Mr. Ai continued to smile and said: "Okay, don't play your temper on the eldest lady. In fact, the person I want to introduce to you is Xiao Nan. No matter what conflicts you have, just treat it as if you don't know each other. Xiao Nan But he is a capable young man, maybe he will help you a lot when you start a business here in the future.”

Xu Mumu cast a glance at Xiao Nan, and said with disdain: "I think he is just a part-time worker, so what can he do, right bro?"

Although Xu Yang didn't want to see Xiao Nan in his heart, after all, he was recommended by Mr. Ai, and his mind was not as simple as Xu Mumu's. He didn't accept Xu Mumu's words, but said to Xiao Nan: "I have heard from my grandfather that , A well-known treasure appraiser came to his company, but he didn't expect it to be you, and I hope you don't take what happened just now."

Xiao Nan said with a smile: "Mr. Ai exaggerated, how can I be so good, as for what happened just now, I forgot, ha ha."

What a smart young man!
This is Xu Yang's evaluation of Xiao Nan. Looking at the unattractive Xiao Nan, he did not expect to be such a talkative person. It seems that being able to be appreciated by Mr. Ai is not without strength.

Xu Yang nodded and smiled at Xiao Nan, and then said to Old Man Ai: "Grandpa, we originally wanted to take advantage of your birthday, but we couldn't catch up because of something, no, after these two days, I and I Mumu went to pick out a gift for you, I believe you will like it."

"Oh, really?"

Xu Mumu regained her spirits at this moment, she took old man Ai's arm again, and said delicately: "It took me and my brother a lot of work to get it, we know you like antiques, so we went shopping a lot It’s only in antique places that you spend a lot of money to buy it.”

"I don't know what made my obedient granddaughter so troublesome." Mr. Ai nodded with a smile.

Xu Yang took out a very delicate box from a suitcase he brought. The box was not big, square, made of sandalwood, and decorated with carvings on it.

Xu Yang handed the box to Mr. Ai and said, "Open it yourself."

Old Man Ai took it in his hand with a smile, and he slowly opened the box. When the contents inside appeared in the eyes of everyone, Xiao Nan's heart couldn't help but tremble.

It was a seal with a dragon head, and the whole body was gold. Due to the age, the gold color on it was not so bright, and there were spots of rust. Xiao Nan had seen this item before in Xu Jiaren's I saw it in that secret passage, because this object belongs to Xu Jiaren.

Old Man Ai didn't see Xiao Nan's emotional changes, he held the seal in his hand to observe, and couldn't stop praising him.

"It's really a good thing. It's light in weight, but its texture is exquisite. The patterns on it are flowing and smooth. You can tell it's from the hands of the royal family at a glance. This object is rare in the world."

Mr. Ai turned the seal upside down again. He looked at the bottom, frowned involuntarily, and muttered to himself, "The Xu family? The Xu family prints? Is this the seal bestowed by a certain emperor to a family surnamed Xu?"

"That's right, this seal was indeed given to the Xu family by the emperor. Back then, the Xu family was a respectable family of martial arts. They fought against foreign enemies and internal troubles, and made great achievements for the emperor. Because of this, the emperor asked the royal engraver to be a royal engraver for Xu. The master made this seal." Xiao Nan said solemnly.

"Oh, is that so?" Mr. Ai looked at it carefully, frowning slightly.

"Tch, who knows if what you said is true or not?" Xu Mumu said disdainfully.

"The golden dragon on this seal is missing a dragon claw. Its implication is that in the eyes of the emperor, the Xu family is a dragon claw of a real dragon. This is enough to prove that the emperor cared for the Xu family at that time."

After what Xiao Nan said, Mr. Ai found out that the Aolong standing on the seal really lacked a dragon claw. There are also descriptions in ancient history, but any minister who is valued by the emperor, once it is given to someone with a dragon Sculptures are generally done on the body of the dragon, either less of this or less of that, the purpose is to make the ministers think that the emperor regards this minister as the missing part of the dragon, so that he will be more loyal when he is excited Geng Geng obeyed the emperor's order.

There are not many young people today who know this, but Xiao Nan could understand it so thoroughly, Mr. Ai couldn't help but look at him approvingly, and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable about history, such a cryptic thing You all understand, it’s really admirable.”

Xiao Nan said indifferently: "Where, in fact, I didn't study these things, but someone told me so."

"Let me just say, he doesn't seem to be that learned, how could he talk about such profound knowledge!" Xu Mumu said grabbing the words.

Mr. Ai ignored it, and asked with interest: "I don't know who told you this?"

Xiao Nan said solemnly: "It is the family heir of this seal!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, even Mr. Ai, who claimed that he would not make any troubles after experiencing the world, was surprised a lot. He didn't expect that this object could be traced back to its owner, so he hurriedly asked: "What do you mean?" Does it mean that this seal has been handed down from generation to generation?"

"Yes, the Xu family is an ancient family of martial arts. Their history can be traced back to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Now it has been passed down to my friend for eighteen generations. I only saw it from him some time ago."

"But, why did you sell off the family heirloom?"

"No, he has been keeping it carefully. That is, two days ago, thieves ran into his house and ransacked his house. All these ancestral items were lost. I really didn't expect to see them here." Xiao Nan said with emotion.

Mr. Ai seemed to understand something, he said to Xu Yang, "Where did you buy this?"

Xu Yang was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Seeing his faltering, Mr. Ai's expression became embarrassing, and he said, "You probably didn't steal it!"
