Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

When Tang Lanxuan asked this question, he felt a little guilty.

In his impression, his students are always running around.

He just came back from Yamato Mountain some time ago. Although he described the adventure in an understatement, Tang Lanxuan was still sweating.

He is always on the front line of danger.

But apart from him, there is no more suitable candidate.

He and Mr. Xu are already old and are not suitable for toiling in foreign countries.

Moreover, given their status, it might be difficult to get close to the dragon robe for identification.

But Lin Ran was different. He knew foreign languages ​​and had a flexible mind, so he was the most suitable candidate.

I originally thought he would hesitate, but Lin Ran agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, Boss Wen, I'll go with you."

"Really?" A look of surprise appeared on Wen Ya's face. Have you seen his level in the tasting just now? If he can go to Mumbai with her, he will definitely be able to distinguish the real from the fake.

"Well, but I'd like you to help me with the identity matter," Lin Ran said.

He doesn't have a good impression of this country, and vice versa. They are also wary of Chinese people. If they go to the auction as a Chinese person, they will most likely be refused entry.

"You don't have to worry about this. I have entrusted my friend to get two invitation letters." Wen Ya said, "No visa required."

"Leave it to me to handle the visa." Tang Lanxuan said, "Get him a visa as a museum outbound inspection."

"Don't do it." Wen Ya said, "As far as I know, the auction house is very strict about identity checks. If it has anything to do with the museum, you may not be able to enter even if you have an invitation letter, and your friends may even be implicated."

"It's best to use a tourist visa."

But in this era, it is not easy to get a visa to travel abroad.

"It doesn't matter, I'll find Team Leader Sun." Lin Ran said, as long as he told Sun Xiaoyuan that he was going to auction cultural relics abroad, which was originally one of the tasks of the Ministry of Culture and Literature, he should agree.

"It's just that." Lin Ran hesitated.

Once this matter was reported to the Ministry of Culture and Literature, assuming that the dragon robe they recovered was genuine, it would be impossible for Wen Ya to keep it herself.

Wen Ya guessed what he wanted to say and smiled: "It doesn't matter. It will definitely be given to the museum after it is recovered, and the same goes for the Jade Pig Dragon just now."

Unexpectedly, he is also a patriotic collector. No wonder he has such a close relationship with Tang Lanxuan and Mr. Xu.

The matter has been settled, and we have agreed to come to Mingyue Villa on Sunday to set off together.

They returned to the tasting venue.

The venue for the tasting was extremely lively, and the masters had already begun to show off their collections to each other.

Only then did Lin Ran focus on the tasting meeting.

I have to say that, except for the vulgarity of their competition just now, the overall tone of the tasting was quite high.

A large number of fine antiques are placed on the wooden counters surrounding the hall.

The most eye-catching thing is that at the entrance, there are two large gourd-shaped wine vats. The blue and white patterns on the surface can tell that they are of great value.

Such large blue and white porcelain is really rare.

In addition, there are many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.

At a glance, there are many works by famous artists.

There are works by Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, and even the four Ming masters.

Without their appreciation, they are all imitations from the late Qing Dynasty. Although they have a certain collection value, there is not much room for appreciation.

It is simply not as good as the paintings produced by Lin Ran and Zhou Xuelin.

These paintings hanging on the wall more express the humanistic sentiments present.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, if there are no calligraphy and painting, the evaluation meeting will look lacking in style.

Lin Ran could tell that most of the calligraphy and paintings were probably not brought by collectors, and were probably painted by Wen Ya herself.

Their departure from the venue only briefly aroused people's suspicion, but under the organization of Wen Ya's subordinates and Chang Zheng's spontaneous navy to set off the atmosphere, the atmosphere at the tasting venue was extremely lively.

When they came in, they immediately attracted people's attention.

Everyone around them cast envious glances at them. The two most valuable collections in the tasting were both in their possessions.

The first thing Wen Ya did when she returned to the venue was to have the Jade Pig Dragon taken away. The collectors present looked at the box with longing expressions, feeling extremely emotional.

Seeing their disappointed expressions, Wen Ya smiled and said: "Everyone, what we just had was just an appetizer. The plundered collection should have been returned to its original owner. It is not something we should consider."

Hearing this, Chang Zheng once again showed an expression of admiration.

"Collectors in the capital are really different in their knowledge and mind." Chang Zheng said, "Unlike players in small places like us, we think about making money every day. It's really embarrassing."

He was really not afraid of offending anyone. Most of the collectors present came from other places. Hearing these words, they couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Especially Jin Xi, who felt that this person was still called Cangzhou Bao Chi, which was embarrassing because his elbows were turned outward.

Wen Ya did smile and said, "Don't take it too seriously. Even if I were willing to give it to you, you can't take it out in exchange for money."

As the saying goes, there have been many literati since ancient times, and collectors usually claim that they only collect for hobby. Even if they do it for money, they are embarrassed to say so.

Wen Ya had already stated the reason extremely euphemistically, and they could only superficially echo it.

"Of course, Mr. Wen prepared a collection today. It was originally intended to be a prize for the winner of the tasting, but looking at it this way, it seems that there is no need to compete."

After all, there is nothing that can compare with Wu Daozi's paintings.

But the collectors present were not focused on this. What they heard was "there are still good things."

They all cheered up instantly.

Lin Ran found it boring. He sat on the chair and was already thinking about how to participate in the auction.

Foreign auctions are not competing with these domestic businessmen, especially buyers from developed countries. The prices must be very high, and I don't know if Wen Ya can accept them.

He had to find a way to lower the price, and at the same time, he had to find a way to get close to the dragon robe to confirm its authenticity.

While he was thinking, Wen Ya's men brought another antique and placed it on the table in the center of the venue.

Opening up the red cloth on top, there was a teacup-shaped object placed inside.

Flat bottom, enough to lie down on.

Lin Ran originally thought it was an ordinary cup, but when he saw a rooster painted on the outside of the wall, it was about to crow.

Coupled with the beauty, his eyes were instantly attracted to the cup.

I just saw a piece of Chenghua Doucai, but compared with this cup, it really pales into insignificance.

Because this is the Mingcheng Hua Doucai Chicken Cup!
