Lin Lang answered truthfully: "150,000."

Ma Wei Du showed a delighted look on his face, patted Lin Lang on the shoulder and said, "My dear nephew, I think you have found a great bargain! There is a painting within this painting. There is another painting hidden under the "Landscape Painting" from the late Qing Dynasty. It's really buy one get one free!"

Lin Lang and Zhou Mengyao looked at each other, their hearts filled with joy.

Zhou Mengyao said with a smile: "Lin Lang also saw that this late Qing Dynasty "Landscape Painting" is a 'painting within a painting', so he came to visit Uncle Ma specially, and troubled you to open the painting and reveal the buy-one-get-one-free surprise!"

"Oh?"

Ma Wei Du exclaimed: "My dear nephew, you have a good eye!"

"The craftsmanship of this 'painting within a painting' is quite exquisite. It is difficult for an appraiser with shallow eyesight to discover it. My nephew is only in his early twenties, but he has the eyesight of an appraiser with thirty years of experience. He is truly better than his master!"

Lin Lang replied modestly: "Uncle Ma, you are too kind. I was just lucky and happened to find a small bargain in Panjiayuan."

"My dear nephew, you are too modest!"

"I'm afraid you didn't pick up a small bargain. You spent 150,000 yuan on an antique stall and found a 'painting within a painting' from the late Qing Dynasty. It might even contain a masterpiece of a great calligrapher or painter!"

Zhou Mengyao couldn't wait to say: "Uncle Ma, please open the blind box for me!"

Ma Wei Du was also very curious and said, "Okay, follow me to the study to take apart the painting and appraise the treasure, and we will witness this surprise together."

Lin Lang stood up and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Ma."

Zhou Mengyao took Lin Lang's arm and followed Ma Weidu to the study in Ma's villa.

Ma Wei Du was surprised to see Zhou Mengyao holding Lin Lang intimately, and exclaimed: "Mengyao, what's going on between you and your father's disciple Lin Lang?"

Zhou Mengyao smiled sweetly and said, "Uncle Ma, let me formally introduce you to Lin Lang. In addition to being my father's apprentice, he is also my high school classmate and my boyfriend."

Ma Wei Du laughed after hearing this and said, "I see. I was wondering why your father suddenly got so excited that he accepted a disciple and taught me the art of treasure appraisal!"

"So it's a good idea to keep the wealth within the family. I passed on the treasure appraisal skills to my son-in-law. Mengyao, when are you getting married? Uncle Ma will give you a big red envelope!"

Zhou Mengyao replied with a smile: "Lin Lang and I are both busy with our careers. We are still young and are not in a hurry to get married!"

Ma Weidu looked at Lin Lang and asked, "My dear nephew, you are here to learn from me. Could it be that your father is also a friend in the antique business?"

Lin Lang lied, "My father was a doctor at the Haihai Chinese Medicine Hospital. He just liked to collect and appraise antiques. So I have been influenced by him since I was a child. I have a talent for antique appraisal."

Ma Wei Du nodded and praised, "How talented is your antique appraisal, nephew? We will find out by using this painting you found."

Lin Lang replied modestly: "My ability to identify treasures and find bargains is just like showing off my skills in front of you, Uncle Ma."

Then, Ma Weidu skillfully operated various tools to slowly unpack the mounted "Landscape Painting" scroll from the late Qing Dynasty.

Ma Weidu picked up a sharp knife with a focused look and carefully inserted it into the gap between the scroll and the backing paper. With a light touch, the scroll lifted up slightly, revealing a layer of drawing paper underneath.

Ma Weidu's movements were gentle and delicate, and he was very careful with every tiny operation, for fear of damaging this ancient painting.

Then, Ma Weidu gently used tweezers to peel off the layer of drawing paper slowly, as if he was solving an ancient mystery.

Zhou Mengyao, who was standing aside, watched Ma Weidu dismantle the painting intently, afraid of missing any details, waiting for the surprise to be revealed.

As Ma Weidu moved the tool in his hand, the mounting paper began to peel off little by little.

Ma Weidu's movements became slower and slower, and his breathing became heavier. As time passed, beads of sweat gradually oozed out of his forehead, but his eyes became more and more focused, and he did not dare to relax at all.

It has to be said that dismantling a "picture within a picture" is also a technical job.

As time went by, Ma Weidu's movements became more and more skillful, and every move seemed so precise and delicate.

Thanks to Ma Weidu's efforts, the mounted scroll was gradually peeled off, and the ancient paintings originally hidden in it began to gradually emerge.

Every time he peeled off a little bit, Ma Weidu's heart lifted a little.

When the last piece of mounting paper was gently peeled off, a mysterious painting hidden inside finally saw the light of day.

An authentic painting by Tang Bohu, "Fishing in Canglang", has finally been presented to everyone. It has delicate brushwork, open layout, elegant and handsome style, and is vigorous yet elegant, exuding a unique artistic charm.

"Oh..."

Ma Weidu widened his eyes, staring at the ancient painting that had been unveiled, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

"Oh my God!"

"This ancient painting is signed by Tang Yin?"

In the ancient painting, an old man is sitting leisurely by the river fishing. The river is sparkling and the shore is lined with green trees. The whole scene is filled with a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

The landscape in the painting is lifelike, the characters are vivid and natural, the brushstrokes are delicate and full of verve. The whole painting exudes a simple and elegant atmosphere that makes people fall in love with it.

Ma Weidu widened his eyes and said in shock: "This is simply unbelievable!"

"My dear nephew, you actually found an authentic painting of Tang Bohu, "Fishing on the Canglang River", at a stall in the Panjiayuan Antique Market!"

Ma Weidu could not help but be shocked. He looked at this precious painting carefully, his heart filled with awe for Tang Bohu's paintings.

Lin Lang pretended to be surprised and replied: "I really found a big bargain!"

Zhou Mengyao couldn't hide her excitement and exclaimed, "My dear, you bought one and got one free. The 'Painting within a Painting' you stole turned out to be an authentic work by Tang Bohu. This is such a stroke of luck!"

Lin Lang replied sweetly: "Mengyao, you are my lucky goddess. When I am with you, good things always happen to me and I am extremely lucky."

"It's true!"

"I never thought that I would be such a lucky charm for my husband, hehe..." Zhou Mengyao smiled so beautifully.

Ma Wei Du said in amazement: "My dear nephew! You are indeed the disciple of the treasure appraiser Zhou Zhongdang. You found a painting worth 100 million. The Kyoto antique circle will have another legend of finding a bargain!"

Lin Lang replied politely, "Uncle Ma, you are too kind. I still need to learn more from you and my master in terms of treasure appraisal and treasure hunting."

Zhou Mengyao exclaimed, "Uncle Ma, you said this authentic painting by Tang Bohu is worth 100 million Chinese Yuan?!"

Ma Weidu admired "Fishing in the Canglang" with great interest. He explained: "Tang Bohu's paintings have always been sought after by collectors, especially his authentic works which are rare to see."

"This painting 'Fishing in the Canglang River' not only has extremely high artistic value, but has also been handed down through generations in a legendary 'painting within a painting' manner. Its value is definitely more than 100 million Chinese yuan."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengyao looked at Lin Lang and said, "Dear, why aren't you excited about making a hundred million by picking up a bargain?"

Ma Wei Du joked: "It seems that my nephew has made too many fortunes and has become numb to making so much money!"

Lin Lang replied: "Uncle Ma, you are joking!"

Ma Wei Du waved his hand and praised: "It's a small matter. It's rare for a young man to have such vision."

"Thank you Uncle Ma for helping me dismantle the painting. Kyoto is truly a blessed place with many talented people!"

"My dear nephew, your city of Hai is a city with a long history and profound cultural heritage! It has always been the economic center and cultural city of Xia State, with unique charm and influence."

"Moreover, the collection community of Hai is even more famous, and is known as 'half of the country's collection'!"

“Lin Lang, you and Uncle Ma really know how to praise each other in business!” Zhou Mengyao’s eyes revealed a hint of teasing and laughter.

"Haha..." Ma Weidu laughed loudly.

Then, the servant walked into the study and said, "Master Ma, the kitchen has prepared lunch. Shall we eat now?"

After hearing this, Ma Wei Du said, "Nephew, Mengyao, let's go! Let's eat and talk at the same time!"

"Okay, Uncle Ma." Lin Lang put away Tang Bohu's original painting "Fishing at Canglang".

Zhou Mengyao held Lin Lang's arm, with a happy smile on her face, and followed Ma Weidu to the restaurant in Ma's villa.

As soon as I walked into the restaurant, a rich aroma hit me.

Zhou Mengyao's eyes were attracted by the sumptuous food on the table. She smiled sweetly and said, "Wow, it's so sumptuous!"

The table was filled with all kinds of exquisite dishes, including Quanjude's roast duck and Kyoto stewed duck, as well as Zhou Mengyao's favorite Kyoto classic dishes such as fried fish fillet, crab roe tofu, tomato kidney fillet, and vegetable wrapped chicken.

All of them are delicious Kyoto specialties that make you salivate.

Not only do these dishes look delicious, but each dish also exudes a unique aroma that permeates the entire restaurant.

The roast duck's golden and crispy skin and tender and juicy meat make you drool, while the braised duck exudes a rich five-spice flavor that increases your appetite.

After the three of them sat down on the dining chairs.

Ma Weidu asked enthusiastically: "My dear nephew, what kind of wine would you like to drink, white or red?"

Lin Lang replied politely: "The guest should follow the host's wishes."

Ma Wei Du smiled and said, "Oh, my nephew is really polite. Brother Zhou really accepted a good disciple. I am a little jealous!"

Zhou Mengyao stood up and opened the Moutai on the table next to her. While pouring wine for Ma Weidu, she smiled sweetly and said, "I know Uncle Ma prefers to drink white wine, and my dad said that Uncle Ma has never been drunk in his life. Anyone who drinks with Uncle Ma will be carried away."

After hearing this, Lin Lang laughed at himself and said, "I don't have a good alcohol tolerance. People call me Little Party Person. I get drunk as soon as I drink. I'll drink less with you, Uncle Ma. If it's not fun enough, please forgive me."

Ma Wei Du replied: "It is not necessary to drink too much for courtesy, but it is not necessary to drink too much for joy. Today, we, uncle and nephew, will not drink too much, but mainly to chat over wine."

After Zhou Mengyao poured wine for Lin Lang, she also sat down and looked at Ma Weidu and Lin Lang with a smile.

Ma Weidu picked up the wine glass and said with emotion: "Come on, nephew, let's have a drink!"

Lin Lang quickly raised his glass and responded, "Thank you, Uncle Ma. I toast to you!"

After that, the two of them drank white wine.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Ma Weidu and Lin Lang's topics became more and more interesting. They talked about antique appreciation and philosophy of life, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Unknowingly, time flies by.

After dinner, Ma Weidu took Lin Lang to visit his private collection room, where the dazzling array of antiques and treasures opened Lin Lang's eyes.

Before leaving the Ma residence, Ma Wei Du patted Lin Lang on the shoulder and said earnestly, "My dear nephew, you are very talented in treasure appraisal. The Treasure Pavilion of the Zhou Family in Changhai has a successor. Your master can retire and enjoy his old age!"

Lin Lang replied modestly: "My master is not yet old enough to retire, but he is indifferent to fame and fortune and likes to return to his family to cultivate his character."

Before leaving, Zhou Mengyao said politely: "Thank you for the hospitality, Uncle Ma. Welcome to visit us in Haihai if you have the chance!"

"Okay, my dear niece, next time you come to Kyoto, please call me, Uncle Ma, in advance and I will arrange a time to entertain you!"

"Yeah." Zhou Mengyao nodded with a smile.

After thinking it over, Lin Lang asked tentatively before leaving: "Uncle Ma, I know a little about Chinese medicine diagnosis. I wonder if I should say something?"

"Just tell me, nephew!"

Lin Lang replied: "Uncle Ma, your complexion is gray and yellow, and your sclera is yellow. It should be that your liver is not able to release the excess fluid. You may have some cirrhosis. You need to find a Chinese medicine hospital for physical conditioning."

After hearing this, Ma Wei Du exclaimed: "My nephew is amazing!"

"I just had a physical examination a few days ago. The doctor said I have mild liver cirrhosis and asked me to go to the hospital for treatment in a few days. You unexpectedly diagnosed it through a face-to-face consultation with a Chinese doctor."

Zhou Mengyao said: "Lin Lang was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. His grandfather ran a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the alley of Yihai for his entire life, and his father was the deputy chief physician of Yihai Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital."

"I see, my dear nephew, you are really multi-talented!"

"Uncle Ma, you are so kind!"

"Since Uncle Ma has been diagnosed with liver problems, he should drink less alcohol and take care of his liver. Mengyao and I will take our leave now!"

Zhou Mengyao said: "Goodbye, Uncle Ma!"

"Goodbye Mengyao!"

"Goodbye, nephew!"

Ma Wei Du saw the guests off to the gate, and watched Zhou Mengyao walk away with Lin Lang, sighing, "Old Zhou really found a treasure, to have a precious apprentice who brings his skills to his master. I'm so envious!"

"Ah~"

"Why can't I find a good disciple who is gifted and respectful to his teacher?!"
