Scumbag God, I can see the entry of desire
Chapter 10
The treasure appraiser Ah Cheng replied truthfully:"No!"
"Mr. Lin brought a pair of worn-out lacquerware wine glasses, which looked like old items from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. I made mistakes after appraising them, which brought shame to our Treasure Pavilion."
Zhou Zhongdang asked in confusion,"Acheng, you have been an appraiser for many years. How could you make mistakes for a pair of relatively recent lacquerware wine glasses?"
Appraiser Acheng replied with an exaggerated expression,"Mr. Lin brought this pair of seemingly worn-out lacquerware wine glasses, but inside they were actually disguised and hidden antique rhinoceros horn cups from a long time ago. It's amazing!""
"This is quite novel." Zhou Zhongdang put down the brush in his hand.
Treasure appraiser Acheng continued:"There is a layer of oil paper attached to the surface of the rhino horn cup, and the oil paper is painted with camouflage red paint, which perfectly hides the priceless rhino horn cup in the lacquerware wine glass. How could the owner of the pair of rhino horn cups have such a magical operation?"
Zhou Zhongdang replied:"Never doubt the wisdom of the ancients!"
"In ancient times, there were frequent wars and many nobles were afraid that their treasures would be robbed or stolen, so they would take great pains to disguise their precious cultural relics as low-value objects and pass them down to future generations so that they would not be targeted by thieves."
The treasure appraiser Acheng exclaimed:"So that's it!"
"I guess the owner of the pair of rhino horn cups in ancient times must have hidden the valuable rhino horn cups in lacquerware wine glasses for fear of being stolen or robbed."
Zhou Mengyao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she smiled beautifully:"Dad, as the daughter of a treasure appraiser, this is the first time I have heard of such a strange thing."
Treasure appraiser Acheng said respectfully:"Mr. Zhou, I have to trouble you to come to the VIP room in person to appraise and value the rare treasures that Mr. Lin brought."
"Let’s go!" Zhou Zhongdang set out
"Dad, I will go to the VIP room with you to see where my high school classmate Lin Lang found this rare treasure."
Zhou Zhongdang walked with his hands behind his back and joked,"Daughter, do you want to watch the fun, or do you want to see your male classmate Lin Lang?"
"Of course I went to watch the fun!" Zhou Mengyao raised her beautiful little face.
Zhou Zhongdang smiled and said:"I remember when you were in high school, your mother told me that you had a crush on your deskmate, the school hunk, and it had somewhat affected your academic performance"
"Today, as a father, I learned that this Lin Lang was your deskmate for three years in high school. Could it be that the school hunk you had a crush on when you were in high school was Lin Lang?" The sweet and cool motorcycle goddess Zhou Mengyao's beautiful face turned red in an instant, like a little pufferfish, and she said angrily:"Did my mother peek at my diary?"
Zhou Zhongdang realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, and hurriedly replied:"I didn't betray your mother, daughter, just treat me as if I didn't say anything just now."
Zhou Mengyao, who looked unhappy, walked down the stairs with her father Zhou Zhongdang, pouting and complaining:"My mother's behavior of peeking at my diary has violated my privacy."
"When I was in high school, my mother used bad means to pry into my privacy, which is an illegal act."
Zhou Zhongdang laughed loudly and said,"My daughter, you are too serious. Your mother peeped into your diary because she cared about you. She was afraid that your early love would affect your studies, and she wanted to help you solve the troubles of growing up."
"Tsk! What you parents say sounds nice, but I protest against it!"
"My mother's behavior of peeking at my diary is wrong. She has no sense of boundaries and is extremely wrong. I express my strong dissatisfaction with her wrong behavior, and I firmly oppose and condemn it!"
Zhou Mengyao pouted playfully, looking sweet, cute, and beautiful like a mystery.
Zhou Zhongdang replied lovingly:"Okay, okay!"
"Dad joins you in condemning your mom for her wrong behavior many years ago and apologizes to you on her behalf, okay?"
"Tsk! If an apology is useful, why do we need the police? Some actual compensation is better than anything else!"
"You damn girl, it seems that you want to take this opportunity to extort money from your father. Tell me! What do you want this time?"
Zhou Mengyao replied with a smile:"I like a convertible sports car with a dung fork logo. It only costs more than 5 million yuan to import it into China. Hehehe……"
Zhou Zhongdang asked,"What brand is the convertible sports car with the dung fork logo?"
The treasure appraiser Acheng reminded,"It's a Maserati."
Zhou Zhongdang smiled and said,"You know what, the Maserati logo really looks like a dung fork.""
"But my daughter, you already have seven or eight luxury cars in your name, including several convertible sports cars. Can you drive all these luxury cars?"
"Dad, you are reluctant to buy it for your precious daughter?"
Zhou Zhongdang replied lovingly:"Buy, buy, buy!"
"It’s just over 5 million yuan. As a father, I don’t feel sorry at all for spending a little money to make my daughter happy!"
"Dad is still the best to me, so I forgive my mom for peeking at my diary." Zhou Mengyao smiled sweetly. Zhou
Zhongdang shook his head and laughed:"It's all my fault for saying something careless, so you, a girl, used the past to blackmail a Maserati convertible sports car."
"whee……"Zhou Mengyao smirked triumphantly.
As they were talking, Zhou Mengyao and treasure appraiser Acheng, who was already surrounded by Zhou Zhongdang, who was in the center position, went downstairs and walked into the VIP reception room, where they saw Lin Lang and Gu Keqing tasting tea.
The female tea artist in Hanfu greeted them respectfully,"Hello, Mr. Zhou!"
Zhou Zhongdang looked at the junior Lin Lang and greeted him with a smile,"Hello, Mr. Lin!"
Lin Lang stood up politely and replied,"Hello, Uncle Zhou!"
"Once again, I would like to trouble you to personally appraise and estimate the value of the treasures for me. Thank you for your help!"
""Mr. Lin is taking care of the business of our Treasure Pavilion. It is a great honor for us to have you visit our pawnshop!" Zhou Zhongdang said with a smile. Gu Keqing stood up and nodded with a smile, and greeted Lin Lang's female classmate Zhou Mengyao.
Zhou Mengyao greeted sweetly:"Hello, cousin Keqing!"
Then, Zhou Mengyao looked at the handsome Lin Lang and smiled sweetly:"Old classmates, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon!"
Lin Lang replied with a smile:"Yes!"
"After I started investing in the antique industry, I often had business dealings with Zhenbao Pavilion and your father. It seems that we will have more opportunities to meet as classmates in the future."
Zhou Mengyao asked curiously,"Lin Lang, didn't you study finance in college? How come you are proficient in antique collection and treasure appraisal?"
Lin Lang replied modestly,"I am just a beginner in the antique industry and I know a little bit about it."
Zhou Zhongdang set his eyes on the treasure appraisal table and saw a tea knife with a lot of lacquer debris scattered around, a worn lacquer wine glass, and an antique rhino horn cup that had been stripped of its oil paper lacquer shell camouflage and seen the light of day again, with a bright luster and perfect appearance.
"This is a rare antique rhino horn cup that is really worth a lot of money!"
Zhou Zhongdang carefully picked up the rhino horn cup and admired it under the light of the VIP room as if he had found a treasure. He couldn't help but marvel at the rare antique rhino horn cup and praised it endlessly.
"This rhino horn cup has a folded lip, a deep belly, a ring foot, and a foot wall that is cut inwards."
"The bone is hard, yellow, fine and smooth, with a slightly translucent amber color. It is carved in the round, with a lustrous luster, like solidified fat, and is delicately carved with complex and exquisite craftsmanship."
"This vessel has a stable and elegant shape, a rounded hand, and excellent polish. The artist spared no effort in using materials, which is quite good."
"Most of the rhino horn carvings that have survived to this day were made in my country during the Ming and Qing dynasties. They are treasured by countries around the world and are collected by major museums in Europe, America and my country. They are also coveted by private collectors."
"The shape and workmanship of this rhino horn cup show that it is a royal rhino horn cup that was presented as tribute from abroad during the Tang Dynasty. It has obvious characteristics of the era and is rare in existence. It is definitely a fine antique rhino horn cup!"
"Mr. Lin, could you tell me whether this pair of lacquerware wine cups containing a Tang Dynasty rhinoceros horn cup is a family heirloom?"
"Or did you buy it at a high price?" Zhou Zhongdang asked curiously.
Lin Lang answered truthfully:"To be honest, this pair of lacquerware wine cups with a Tang Dynasty rhino horn cup hidden inside was bought by me at an antique stall outside for 385 yuan."
"Because I need a lot of start-up capital at the beginning of my business, I reluctantly gave up and went to the Treasure Pavilion to buy this pair of rare antique rhino horn cups."
Zhou Zhongdang was shocked and said,"Mr. Lin has a good eye!"
"It has been many years since anyone has found such a big bargain in the Jing'an Temple Jewelry and Antiques City in Jinhai City. It seems that Mr. Lin has profound attainments in antique collection and identification!"
"Thank you Uncle Zhou!"
"I've just entered the antique business, and I just got lucky and found a bargain." Lin Lang behaved very low-key.
After hearing this, treasure appraiser Ah Cheng was shocked and exclaimed with envy:"Mr. Lin is really a god with good luck. I admire you! I admire you!!!"
Zhou Mengyao blinked her charming big eyes and exclaimed:"Lin Lang, your luck is too good, isn't it?"
"Just by casually strolling through an antique market, you stumbled upon a pair of antique rhino horn cups hidden inside lacquerware wine glasses. Wouldn't that mean you saved 30 years of hard work and became rich overnight?!"
