antique masters in modern times

Chapter 68 The £2 Counterfeit

Facing Yan You's questioning, Jiang Luyun was speechless.

He didn't think about it so much at all, it was just jealousy and trying to embarrass Pei Xiuyuan.

I thought that questioning the other party's auction of the national treasure would make the teachers and students share the same hatred with him, ruin the other party's face, and take the opportunity to show his face.Unexpectedly, in the end, he was questioned by Yan You and was left speechless.

Is that all?He is really not reconciled!Why is he just a poor student, why can someone surnamed Pei throw a million dollars in exchange for a rusty thing?He refuses to accept it!Seeing Wang Ming passing on the Dragon Festival, his heart was full of jealousy.

Jiang Luyun, who was dazzled by Qiu Fu, did not choose to give in. He racked his brains and finally found another excuse: "But a national treasure is always a national treasure. How can it fall into private hands? If Mr. Pei refuses to donate it to the country , then what’s the point of buying it back?”

These words seem innocent at first glance, but after a little thought, you can find that they are unreasonable and selfish to the extreme.Whose money is blown by the wind?When people exchange their hard-earned money for treasures that have been left outside, not only is it not good, but they will be accused of not being perfect by people who have not contributed half of their efforts from the beginning to the end. What kind of reason is this?

After hearing this, not only the teachers and students who knew him as a man despised him even more.Even the few students who were still biased towards Jiang Luyun quietly changed their views.I vaguely realized that this friend school student was not a good person, the appearance of righteousness was just a disguise, but the reality was only hypocrisy and ignorance.

Yanyou has always looked down on this kind of guy who can only point fingers and talk empty words.If there were more people like this in the world, and everyone was afraid that the more they did, the more mistakes they would make, so they simply stood by and watched, how indifferent would the world be?

Moreover, he did not expect that this person would be so closed and stupid.

Glancing at Pei Xiuyuan and Ying Lao who were still silent, Yan You sighed softly and asked, "Don't you usually read news about antiques? Two months ago, Mr. Pei offered a set of Ming Dynasty celadon Donated the collection to the Jiangsu Provincial Museum, and said in an interview with reporters that in the future, all the collections will be donated to the country——Mr. Pei, am I right?"

Before Pei Xiuyuan could answer, a student from a university in Jiangsu Province said first: "That's right, at that time, the front page headlines in the newspapers in my hometown were all about this incident. And because Mr. Pei acted in a low-key manner, Reluctant to participate in the donation ceremony, the museum temporarily changed the plan, changed the ceremony to a visit day, and held a special exhibition for this set of celadon. I remembered Mr. Pei because of this incident. And, to be honest, my major I have nothing to do with antiques, so this time I came here at my own expense, mainly because I wanted to see what kind-hearted people who are willing to donate such beautiful and precious antiques would look like."

It was a girl who spoke, she looked like a sophomore, shy and nervous, she kept her head down and didn't dare to look at others when she spoke.

The speech was faltering, but there was a sincerity in it that no skilled orator would ever be able to match.At this point, Pei Xiuyuan finally had a smile on his face: "Student, I'm just an old man, there's nothing to see. You appreciate the beauty of celadon, just focus on it."

Seeing that he spoke in an amiable manner, similar to her grandpa and grandpa, the girl couldn't help but become a little more courageous, and whispered: "The newspaper said that because they didn't interview you, they don't know the origin of the celadon set. Can you tell me about it? "

"Of course. From a certain point of view, it is the same as us old men who have experienced three dynasties. It is a witness to history. But it has experienced far more prosperity and decline than us, with a history of thousands of years—"

Pei Xiuyuan has donated priceless treasures several times, but he has been hiding behind the scenes and never showing up, which seems rather mysterious.Laymen have never heard of his name at all, but people in the antique world have been fascinated by this mysterious rich man for a long time.

Plus everyone loves a story.Regardless of whether they had heard of the donation or not, everyone was attracted by Pei Xiuyuan's story about the origin of the antiques, listening with great interest, and no one paid any attention to Jiang Luyun.

This guy was stunned by Yan You's words at first, and then his face was full of embarrassment.After finding out that no one cared about his reaction at all, he felt a subtle resentment, a little bit of shame was replaced by resentment, but he didn't dare to attack.While everyone was fascinated, he quietly picked up his backpack and slipped to the corner of the wall, preparing to leave this place that made him feel ashamed.

On the side, seeing his disciples saying a few words and returning to the scene, and making a name for his old friend who did good deeds in a low-key manner, making a small show, Mr. Ying patted Yan You on the shoulder in relief: "What you said just now touched my heart. Yes, every word and every sentence is from my heart. When I was young, I also gritted my teeth with hatred, and said in my heart that our great country has been congratulated by thousands of dynasties for several generations. , will be bullied by foreign ghosts to this point. There are still a lot of people who worship foreign countries and fawn on foreigners, and discard the things left by their ancestors as bad shoes. Later, when I am old, I am afraid that thinking too much will hurt my body and delay my life. When learning, I simply don’t think about it, and I seldom mention it. But I didn’t expect that you and I think exactly the same. You are indeed my good disciple, haha!”

They are all people who came from the same era. Although they are different generations back then, they have experienced the same things, and they will inevitably leave similar marks and even give birth to the same views.And in the final analysis, this is not a good thing, Yan You still felt a little heavy in his heart, he shook his head and didn't answer.

But Mr. Ying is still curious: "It seems that I haven't introduced Lao Pei to you before, right? He is a busy man with many affairs. I am afraid that he may not be able to attend the meeting because he has something to do. It seems that I am bragging if I say it in advance. I didn’t say much. But what you said just now seems to understand him, why is that?”

It's really not surprising.Yanyou replied: "I have seen the news before, and I already have an impression of him. Moreover, birds of a feather flock together and people form groups. If you make friends with him, you can be sure that he is also a fellow. Otherwise, with your old temper, How can you consider him a friend?"

"Knowing the small things! You are good at looking at things, and you are not bad at looking at people."

Ying Lao praised Yan You, then rubbed his hands and said: "In the future, Lao Pei will definitely donate the Dragon Festival of Wang Ming to the country, and we will be able to study it carefully, but now I can't wait. You don't know. My father talked about it from time to time, which made me fascinated by it too. Today I can see the real body, but I still feel that I haven’t seen enough. However, Lao Pei took the risk to bring things back to the country, and it was nothing more than relying on the customs’ approval. Knowing about antiques, the excuse is that they are handicrafts, so they are allowed to pass. If I ask him to borrow them for fun, he will agree, but who knows if I can take them out safely in a few days? Although it will return sooner or later My homeland, but in this way, it makes me look too ugly. I still can't hold back my face."

Listening to the English and old sayings full of fascination, Yan You's expression became weird again.

This time, Elder Ying finally realized something was wrong, so he asked strangely: "Why, don't you like bronze wares? But I heard from Xiaotu that you are also very eloquent about gold and stone?"

"No..." Yan You hesitated for a moment, afraid of spoiling the old man's interest, and finally decided to be vague: "It's nothing, it's just that I don't like it as much as you do."

But Ying Lao has a stubborn temper, the more Yan You said that, the more he believed that the boy had something to hide.Then the boss urged unhappily: "You child, what are you doing in secret with me, just say what you have to say. I don't speak well myself, and I'm not afraid of being angry, as long as I say something reasonable."

Ying Lao couldn't help criticizing again and again, Yan You had no choice but to tell the truth: "Then I'll tell you, don't mention it to Mr. Pei after hearing what you heard, so as not to cause trouble again. This Dragon Festival of King's Order is a fake."

"what?!"

The news was too shocking, even though Yan You had already emphasized it, after hearing this, Old Ying couldn't help but raise his voice, extremely surprised.

Fortunately, he reacted immediately and lowered his voice cautiously: "How could it be a fake?"

"it--"

Yan You had just raised his head when suddenly someone patted his shoulder: "Student Xiaoyan, thank you for helping me out just now."

It was Pei Xiuyuan who just finished telling everyone about the origin of the celadon offering plate, and happened to meet Elder Ying exclaiming, his attention was drawn to this side, and he came to thank Yanyou.

A rich man thanked himself, but for an ordinary person, his heartbeat would probably speed up.But Yanyou also met some dignitaries in his previous life, so he doesn't feel flattered.And there is still something hidden in my heart, so I don't have the energy to feel nervous.

First, he winked at Elder Ying, indicating that he must not leak his words, then smiled and said to Pei Xiuyuan: "You are too polite, I just told the truth and mentioned your usual kind deeds a little bit. It is your character that everyone admires."

Seeing that this young man was generous, he didn't shrink his head because of restraint, nor did he deliberately and arrogantly adjust his tone in order to show himself, but really treated himself as an ordinary person.Speaking of this peace of mind, no one older than him can do it.

Immediately, I couldn't help but feel a lot of respect for him: "The last time I talked to Young Master Ying on the phone, I heard that he had accepted a new proud student, and I joked that he was bragging. Now it seems that he is very humble——Master Ying, you Finally, there is a successor, tonight we have to have a drink or two to celebrate, Young Master Ying?"

The old Ying, who usually speaks sharply and reacts more quickly than young people, was called out by Pei Xiuyuan a few times before he came back to his senses, with a weird look on his face: "It's easy to say, easy to say..."

There are people in business.Pei Xiuyuan saw at a glance that something was wrong with his old partner. After years of friendship, there was no hypocrisy in front of others, and he asked straightforwardly: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"It's more than wrong, it's simply wrong!"

Before the words finished, an impatient voice suddenly came in, it was actually Jiang Luyun.

He held the schoolbag in his arms tightly, his face was flushed, he was panting heavily through his nostrils, and he had an excited expression of impatiently waiting for a good show: "He said your baby is fake! More than 200 million pounds bought a fake one!" Shit, hahaha! He is afraid to offend you and dare not say it, but I am not! One more thing to add, you deserve it!"
