Chapter 88 Double Happiness
Chapter 88. Double Happiness
"What? Your father knows Weiying?"

"Yes, my father was studying in the capital when he was young, and met Mr. Wei by chance. Two years ago, when he visited the capital, he overheard Mr. Wei mentioning this set of ancient springs and dragons."

"At that time, my father happened to have a lot of precious bright springs in his hands. After comparing them with Mr. Wei, he found that although there were still many missing pieces, they were not far away from this set of bright springs and little celestial dragons, so we worked together to collect them all."

"Really? How come he never told me about it?"

"This is what Mr. Wei has been working so hard for. It happened to be your birthday, Mr. Lian, and he wanted to gather this set of Little Dragon Queens to give you a surprise, so he never revealed it and ordered my father to keep it strictly confidential. "

"I never thought that when the work was done, Mr. Wei, he, alas..."

With a sigh, Ren Ping's face was full of regret, and anyone who saw it would feel the same.

Lian Yuge was extremely sad and lonely, and couldn't help crying for a while.

"Old Lian, is this Mr. Wei your friend?"

When he calmed down a little, everyone asked tentatively, obviously they didn't know much about this person.

Lian Yuge nodded:

"That's right, Wei Ying is my best friend in life, and his achievements in the study of ancient springs are no less than mine, but he is not as famous as me, so you don't know it,"

"He was one of the few people who knew about my Guquan Tianlong at that time. Unfortunately, he passed away a year ago."

Speaking of this, things have gradually become clear. Weiying learned the details of Guquan Tianlong from Lianyu Pavilion, and worked with Ren Fu to gather the Mingquan Xiaotianlong among them.

Unfortunately, he passed away shortly afterwards, and Ren's father and Lian Lao were strangers, so he had to keep it for himself. It was not until by chance that Tian Minru brought it to the capital that the world finally understood it.

"By the way, why didn't you see your father? Where is he now?"

"My father has also passed away."

Ren Ping's tone was sad.

Lian Yuge was stunned for a moment, then sighed repeatedly, with a look of regret:

"Hateful! What a shame! Lian Mou has lost a confidant!"

Everyone knew that what he was thinking of at this time was the set of ancient spring celestial dragons, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was his lifelong wish. Unfortunately, the two people who assembled the only set of small celestial dragons passed away one after another. .

"God is not good, my ancient spring dragon is just a mirror after all!"

"Elder Lian doesn't need to be so discouraged. Hasn't he already collected one of the sets of Little Heavenly Dragons? The remaining seven sets may not be so difficult."

"That's right. We haven't heard of it before. Now that it's been made public, it won't be long before the entire Huaxia ancient spring community knows it. With so many people working together, why not succeed?"

"You don't know, I know my old buddy Wei Ying, he and Mr. Ren must have spent countless efforts to gather this set of Mingquan Xiaotianlong. It's easy to say, but it's absolutely not,"

"Although the ancient spring world is big, how many Weiying and Mr. Ren are there? Even if there are, people's hearts are unpredictable. The most difficult thing in this world is to figure out people's hearts, let alone work together? Well, the old man is bearish. ..."

With a long and sad sigh, Lian Yuge's whole body was depressed to the extreme, as if he had lost all interest in life in an instant.

Tian Bingtai cared about his friend, and couldn't bear to see him continue to be depressed, so he quickly gave Tian Minru a wink, and ordered her to send someone to take Lian Lao to rest, and not to participate in the banquet.

When Mr. Lian left, Ren Ping couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

It turned out that most of what he said just now was false. This set of Mingquan Xiaotianlong had nothing to do with his father Ren Junnan, and he had never even heard of that Weiying before.

This name comes from the system's introduction to Lianyu Pavilion. In order to get rid of the bug of how I knew Guquan Tianlong, I had to borrow it. Anyway, the person is no longer there, and there is no evidence to prove it. No one can track down anything.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing that the two passed away one after another, the old Lian was so sad that he almost lost his will to live.

In fact, the set of ancient springs and dragons was finally collected, but it was just a year before Lian Yuge passed away more than ten years later.

If he could say something, he really wanted to reveal the truth to Lao Lian, so as to make him happy, but it's a pity...

At this time, everyone in the side hall couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Although they were not as caring and affectionate as Lian Lao, they all felt that it would be a pity if this set of ancient spring Tianlong failed to succeed in the end, and it would be a great loss for the Huaxia collection circle.

Seeing Ren Ping was impulsive, he almost couldn't help but want to predict the future.

Fortunately, at this time, Xin Ran who was at the side raised his glass and smiled:

"Okay, everyone, the world is unpredictable. Although it's a pity to be old, today is Mr. Tian's 81st birthday. It's auspicious. Don't disturb everyone's interest because of this,"

"Well, I have news here. Although it is not as grand as Guquan Tianlong, it is a rare and happy event in the Nanling collection world at the moment. It should be a blessing for Mr. Tian."

"Oh? What happy event?"

Everyone was a little curious when they heard the words.

Tian Bingtai changed his mind:
"I know, your brother Xin is going to be promoted to curator, right?"

He said with a red face and smiled.

"What? Really?"

"Congratulations! Lao Xin, you kept it a secret and didn't tell it until now."

"That's right, we've been waiting all this time!"

When everyone heard this, they all hurriedly congratulated.

They were acquainted with Xin Ran from the beginning, and the news that he was going to be promoted to the director of the city museum was not a top secret. Naturally, they knew about it a long time ago, but they didn't expect it so soon.

As for Tian Bingtai knowing in advance, that's not surprising. Based on his Taihetian family's eyes and ears in all walks of life in Nanling, it would be wrong if he knew about it later.

"Haha, Mr. Tian is really admirable. Even at your age, you are still very sharp. Nothing can escape your eyes. But unfortunately, it is not this case."

"It's true that my younger brother is going to be promoted to curator, but in the end it's just a personal matter, how can I call it a great joy for the industry?"

Xin Ran pretended to be mysterious, but still didn't say what it was.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help being anxious, wondering how long he was going to sell Guan Zi.

In the end, he smiled slightly and looked at Ren Ping:

"Xiao Ren, why don't you tell me?"

Ren Ping was taken aback:
"Me? Director Xin, what do you mean?"

"What else? Have you forgotten what Mr. Hu and I told you before?"

Ren Ping suddenly realized:

"The Twelve Flower God Cup theme exhibition? But isn't that going to be two months later? Why, the April Peony Cup of Dongyang Kingdom has been handed over?"

"It was just handed over two days ago. For this matter, the National Pavilion spent a lot of effort to deal with the other party and just pushed the time forward by more than a month."

"What about the themed exhibition?"

"Scheduled in a week."

"A week later, so soon?"

Ren Ping couldn't help being taken aback, wondering what happened to the National Museum, it was so vigorous and resolute, almost stepping on the beat.

After thinking about it, I realized that in a few days it will be the anniversary of China's fight against aggression. Various activities will be held across the country. It would be of great significance if this set of exhibits could be displayed at that time.

It's just a week later, and the time is too tight.

At this time, Tian Bingtai and others were still confused. Although they were not unfamiliar with the name "Twelve Flower God Cup", they had no idea what was going on. They could only listen to the two of them playing riddles here.

Until Xin Ran gave a brief account of the cause of the whole incident, including the agreement to exchange cultural relics with Dongyang Kingdom in the early stage, Ren Ping's identification of the April Peony Cup, the discovery of the August Osmanthus Cup, etc. At this time, there is no need to keep it secret, so he told the whole story.

Everyone was amazed when they heard this, they never expected that such a major event would happen in the Nanling collection circle recently.

Yes, as Xin Ran said, it is really a great event in the industry, and it is worth celebrating!

While complaining that Xin Ran was tight-lipped and didn't reveal it until now, everyone was talking a lot, praising Ren Ping for not only being proficient in ancient springs, but also serving the country in the field of porcelain.

Xin Ran and the others perfunctory said a few words, then pulled Ren Ping aside:
"Xiao Ren, I told you today to prepare you. Where do you think the final venue of the National Pavilion will be?"

"Isn't it the Municipal Museum?"

"The exhibition period is seven days in total, the city museum only occupies five days, and the remaining two days have to be moved to another location."

"where?"

"Your Renzhai."

"What? How can this work!"

Ren Ping was dumbfounded when he heard that, thinking that Renrenzhai hadn't opened for a long time, and was beaten up by those creditors last time, and it was in ruins, like a construction site, how could there be an exhibition?
Xin Ran knew that he would be frightened, so he smiled slightly:
"I know your difficulties, but if you think about it, you will understand why the National Pavilion handed over such an important exhibition to a private museum? Didn't it have serious consideration?"

"As for the rest of the personnel, the details of the exhibition, it's all easy to handle. If you have any difficulties, tell me. In addition, there are many friends here. For today's sake, they will also help you. You can rest assured."

What he said made Ren Ping speechless, even if he wanted to refuse, he had no chance.

Thinking about it again, the National Pavilion did not make this decision without a reason. Firstly, it emphasizes folk commemoration and puts the exhibition in a private museum, which is more likely to arouse social resonance;
Secondly, with this opportunity, Renrenzhai's reputation is bound to increase, which can be regarded as a reward for Ren Ping's efforts to save the national treasure.

The only thing they wouldn't have thought of is that Renrenzhai today is a mess, and if they have to arrange the preliminary preparations in just one week, wouldn't this cost lives?

"President Tian, ​​I also have a happy event to announce, so I just took this opportunity to say it."

Just as Ren Ping was feeling dizzy, suddenly, Rong Qiancheng who was on the opposite side of the banquet also stood up.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised, thinking what day it is today, it's nothing more than a big birthday for Mrs. Tian, ​​and there are happy events one after another, it really is double happiness.

Rong Qiancheng stopped the wine glass in his hand, smiled slightly, and then pointed to a person not far from him:
"I met this little guy for the first time today, but it is probably due to fate in the past life, and we had a very happy conversation. I think that since I have this fate, I should not miss it,"

"It just so happens that he is also considered an industry insider. He has just been tortured about some knowledge of gadgets, and he is quite passable, so he accepted him as his apprentice. Haha, this thing sounds ridiculous and a bit sudden, but when we talk about it in the future, it will be a good story. ,"

"Wu Zui, why don't you meet your uncles soon?"
