The Charming Life of Rebirth
Chapter 77
After making an agreement with Xiao Lin to go to Liulichang tomorrow morning, Fang Shi left the private room with a smile. There are still a group of people waiting to socialize with him.
As for why Fang Shi didn't tell his playmates that Xiao Lin was a master appraiser, this matter is worth pondering.
Playmates are sometimes competitors, and when they can be kept secret, it is better to keep them secret.
The dishes were served one after another. Xiao Lin thought of the tenth brother's surname Fang, so he couldn't help asking: "Second brother, is this tenth brother related to Fang Hua's family?"
He Ran was bringing a few good dishes to Xiao Lin, and said, "Although they both have the surname Fang, the two families really have nothing to do with each other.
Brother Fang Hua's family is prosperous, and it is also a top family now.Although Fang Shi's parents are still very powerful, he is the only boy in the third generation. In addition, the old man is not in good health, so his family has been keeping a low profile these years. "
"Then what's going on with Uncle Gu? Why did everyone go to great lengths for his birthday?" Xiao Lin then asked.
He didn't think that Uncle Gu's charm could attract these self-important and powerful children to look at him differently and compete to curry favor with him.There must be other reasons behind this.
He Ran said: "Uncle Gu will enter the center at the end of the year. This is already a certainty. Our grandfather, and many people's grandfathers will retire at that time. Do you want to have a good relationship with Uncle Gu?"
It turned out to be like this. I remember that Uncle Li Yan said that Uncle Gu was a great official in the frontier, and he didn't expect to enter the center so soon.
In official circles, bridges have always been demolished, and people leave tea to cool down.You can say anything when you are in office, but if you step down, you don't know what will happen.
Now that a new generation is replacing the old ones, it's no wonder that the children of these aristocratic families are buying antiques one after another, wanting to curry favor with Uncle Gu.If the antiques given just suit Uncle Gu's wishes, then the relationship will naturally become close.
As for why these people want to pick up leaks instead of bidding, it may cost thousands of dollars to pick up leaks.If you go to the auction to bid for treasures and antiques, I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of thousands. Uncle Gu may not be willing to accept such an expensive birthday present.
Furthermore, it takes a lot of mental and physical energy to pick up leaks, so giving gifts is more sincere.If you go to an auction, it's purely a competition for financial resources, and it seems a bit vain compared to the gifts you missed.
After figuring this out, Xiao Lin said, "Second Brother, Third Brother, I will try my best to help you choose a good gift tomorrow, and it will definitely not be worse than others."
He Ran patted Xiao Lin on the head, and said with a smile, "Lin Lin, do you think you can escape? We all have to go to celebrate Uncle Gu's birthday, even the elder brother will come back."
"Let's all go?" Xiao Lin never thought that he would participate in such an event.
He Bin explained: "Uncle Gu didn't invite anyone for his birthday. Dad, Second Uncle and the others were inappropriate in the past, and those of us who are juniors don't have to pay so much attention. Then we can go there for dinner together."
After hearing this, Xiao Lin immediately understood.It is false to go to celebrate a birthday, so as to show that the position is true.
All major families are expressing their support for the Gu family's entry into the center with their actions.
Thinking that on that day all the young generation who think highly of themselves will honestly offer gifts, Xiao Lin finds it funny.
He Bin helped Xiao Lin get a cup of green tea, and jokingly said, "Linlin, speaking of this, why don't you even eat rice? This is your favorite Quanjude Roast Duck. It would be a pity not to eat it."
Xiao Lin looked at a table full of dishes, and couldn't help laughing bitterly.He really forgot that he was hungry when he was talking about things just now.
"Is the big brother's gift ready?"
Xiao Lin thought that his elder brother and Fang Hua's elder brother were both in the officialdom now, and having a good relationship with Uncle Gu would be beneficial and harmless, so he immediately wanted to buy a gift for them.But let's ask in advance, the two brothers are so powerful, maybe they have already prepared.
Hearing Xiao Lin mentioning his eldest brother He Xu, He Ran and He Bin really didn't know if his eldest brother had prepared a gift, and they would help his eldest brother prepare a gift if he needed it.
"Linlin, why don't you call and ask..." He Bin suggested.
"Third brother, why don't you ask?" Xiao Lin was curious.It stands to reason that the third brother is the eldest brother's younger brother!How to make him call and ask!
He Bin shook his body, pretending to be scared and said: "Brother is becoming more and more majestic now, I want to tremble when I hear his voice."
Xiao Lin chuckled, looking at the funny appearance of the third brother, he couldn't imagine that the third brother is now a special soldier.
Turning his head to look at He Ran, He Ran also shook his head. "Don't look at me, Linlin, apart from talking softly to you, elder brother is very strict with us. So we dare not call elder brother if it's okay."
Xiao Lin told He Bin and the others that they had no idea what to say, so they simply didn't want to think about this issue, and let's talk about it after eating.
He Bin and He Ran looked at each other and smiled helplessly.Both wanted to eavesdrop on the phone calls between Xiao Lin and his elder brother, but unfortunately Xiao Lin was not fooled.
In fact, I don't blame them for being curious, it's really because the elder brother He Xu's attitude towards Xiao Lin is too unusual.
As He Xu's younger brother, He Bin's relationship with He Xu is much closer than Xiao Lin's, but he has been in the army all these years, and his elder brother has never visited him at all. Whenever he goes home and meets his elder brother, he will be called One pass for education.
As He Xu's cousin, He Ran had a very close relationship with him when he was young, but he has been abroad for so many years, He Xu never even wrote a few letters, let alone visit him.
But Xiao Lin, the god-son whom grandpa personally recognized, received an extraordinary treatment.
The elder brother not only writes to Xiao Lin every day (email, of course), but also goes to Paris to visit him in person. The disparity in attitude is too great.
He Bin and He Ran felt incredible when Xiao Lin mentioned He Xu's spontaneous appearance.
In the past few years, as the eldest brother gradually gained a firm foothold in the political world, his majesty became more and more serious. The two of them did not dare to joke with the eldest brother casually.
But Xiao Lin, speaking of He Xu, seemed to be talking about his very close elder brother, and he didn't feel the slightest bit shy.
The two really wanted to know how the elder brother and Xiao Lin were like when they got along, but it was a pity that Xiao Lin was not fooled and had no intention of making a phone call on the spot.
This cannot be said too clearly, the two brothers had no choice but to look at each other and smile wryly.
After Xiao Lin ate for a while, he found that He Ran and He Bin still hadn't moved their chopsticks, so they also stopped. "Second brother, third brother, aren't you hungry?"
He Ran squeezed out a smile, "Hungry, of course I'm hungry. He Bin, eat."
He Bin also felt very sorry for not overhearing the phone call between Xiao Lin and his eldest brother.But think about it, it will be a long time, and one day he will hear it.Thinking about it this way, I was relieved.Follow the second brother to eat meat.
Xiao Lin didn't know that in a short period of time, the mood of the two brothers changed from anticipation to disappointment.The reason why he didn't call He Xu was because he found out that it was still early and worried that he would disturb He Xu's work.
He wanted to call He Xu later in the evening.Besides, he had to ask Fang Hua, brother Fang Hua would definitely attend such an important day, and he could help Brother Fang Hua prepare a good thing then.
Xiao Lin doesn't have much else now, but there are a lot of old things.Now many things are stored in Grandpa Huang's place, and the not too big items are stored in the original building.Picking a few birthday gifts from it is a piece of cake.
Therefore, Xiao Lin didn't feel too much pressure on going to Liulichang to pick up leaks. Of course it's good if he finds it, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't find it.
It's just that although Xiao Lin's idea is good, it's a pity that things don't develop according to people's will.Early the next morning, Xiao Lin got up early without waiting for He Bin to come and call him.He called both He Xu and Fang Hua last night, and the two brothers said that they were too busy to prepare, so they relied on him.This made Xiao Lin feel a little stressed.
Of course, it would be better not to give away the collection in his hand.Otherwise, his, He Ran's, He Bin's, plus the birthday presents of Brother He Xu and Brother Fang Hua, would give away five pieces at once. Although there are many collections, Xiao Lin would still feel distressed.
So Xiao Lin got up early, and planned to go to Liulichang to pick up leaks today, and it was best to prepare everyone's birthday gifts.
When they came to the restaurant, He Ran and He Bin were already having breakfast.
"Second brother, third brother, you got up really early."
Xiao Lin felt that he woke up early enough, but He Ran and He Bin both woke up earlier than him.
Because I was going to Liulichang to shop for treasures today, He Ran didn't go back to the Chenxuan club yesterday, and drove directly back to He's villa.
He Bin smiled and said, "I'm going to visit Liulichang today, can I not go earlier? It's too late, and all the treasures have been bought by others."
Xiao Lin almost burst out laughing when he heard this.
Aunt Zhang helped Xiao Lin serve a bowl of porridge. Xiao Lin felt his appetite increase greatly when he smelled the delicious smell of glutinous rice porridge.
Unfortunately, before Xiao Lin could move his chopsticks, the phone rang.
Looking at the phone, Xiao Lin quickly picked it up: "Brother Huang, it's so early?"
Huang Haoyu smiled on the other side: "It's still early! Haven't you got up yet, you little slob?"
"I got up early, and I'm having breakfast right now." Xiao Lin quickly explained that he didn't want to be treated as a real slob.
Huang Haoyu was quite surprised and said: "Huh? Why is it so early today?"
"Today I'm going to visit Liulichang with my second brother and third brother. Brother Huang, what's the matter with you calling so early?" Xiao Lin knew that he couldn't hide his love for bed from Huang Haoyu, so he simply asked him what's the matter. Save yourself from discussing the issue of him sleeping in all the time.
Huang Haoyu heard Xiao Lin said that he was going to visit Liulichang, how could he not know what they were going for?Then he said, "I'm also planning to ask you to accompany me to Liulichang to shop for treasures. It would be better if you go there. Wait for me for a while, and I'll go there right away."
As for why Fang Shi didn't tell his playmates that Xiao Lin was a master appraiser, this matter is worth pondering.
Playmates are sometimes competitors, and when they can be kept secret, it is better to keep them secret.
The dishes were served one after another. Xiao Lin thought of the tenth brother's surname Fang, so he couldn't help asking: "Second brother, is this tenth brother related to Fang Hua's family?"
