"No, I've said it all without any regrets! Take the money!" Zhu Zhihua said shamelessly, he had just finished regretting it.
"Dad, can you lend me six hundred thousand first?"
Lin Yu said to Jiang Jingren embarrassedly, he didn't have a penny on him.
A burst of jeers suddenly broke out from the crowd, "It turns out he is a pauper."
"Why bother? Just make a fool of yourself and pretend to be fat."
"If I have such a stupid son-in-law, I will definitely let my daughter divorce him."
There are many outsiders present today, and they don't know that Jiang Jingren is the donor of the painting.
"Jia Rong, is there a mezzanine in this painting?" Jiang Jingren quickly pulled Lin Yu aside and asked in a low voice.
Ever since people in the antique circle knew that Ming Qie Tie was preserved hidden in a fake sandwich, they all checked their calligraphy and paintings. Zhu Zhihua was no exception, so he naturally checked the painting thoroughly.
"No." Lin Yu shook his head.
"Then why did you buy it?" Jiang Jingren wondered if his son-in-law was inflated and secretly regretted that he shouldn't praise him so much.
"Although there is no interlayer, there may still be another mystery in the painting." Lin Yu said to Jiang Jingren with a solemn expression.
"Okay, then I will believe you again." Jiang Jingren gritted his teeth, remembering the scene when he discovered Ming Jietie, and decided to believe Lin Yu.
Then Lin Yu transferred the money to Zhu Zhihua, ran to the cold dining table nearby, unfolded the painting, borrowed a magnifying glass, and looked at it carefully.
The people around him couldn't help but be a little curious and came over one after another.
"Humph, it's all in vain. Mr. Tao is an expert in this field, how can he still lose to you?!" Zhu Zhihua dismissed it.
"Oh, it is just an ordinary painting. I overestimated it!"
Lin Yu couldn't help but shook his head and sighed at this time, looking very disappointed and even a little angry.
"Hahahaha, young people, every time you learn, you will gain wisdom."
"It's ridiculous that Mr. Tao dares to question!"
"You should learn more in the future and pretend to understand if you don't understand."
Everyone felt extremely happy in their hearts, and they all taunted you, telling you that you deserved it for not listening to your advice.
Mr. Tao couldn't help but puff up his chest. In the world of calligraphy and painting, he really had never lost to anyone.
"Oh, five hundred thousand, just compensation." Jiang Jingren covered his chest in distress, wanting to cry but without tears.
"Dad, don't take money so seriously. I told you before that he doesn't understand anything, but you didn't listen."
Jiang Yan hurriedly moved her father's chest, pretending to understand Lin Yu's ignorance, and she was a little angry. If you were lucky enough to bump into him once, it was just crazy to want to bump into him a second time.
"This broken painting cost me half a million yuan, what's the use of keeping it!"
Faced with everyone's ridicule, Lin Yu was obviously a little angry. He suddenly grabbed the painting and tore it hard. Wow, the good brocade painting was immediately torn into two halves.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, it's over, this young man is crazy.
"Hey, hey..." Jiang Jingren didn't have time to stop him. He suddenly felt like thousands of arrows were piercing his heart. God, even the one hundred thousand was lost now.
After tearing the painting in half, Lin Yu wasn't done yet. He continued to pick it up and tear it apart, looking very angry.
The last good painting was basically torn into pieces by him, which made the antique lovers next to him feel heartbroken.
After tearing up the painting, Lin Yu angrily threw it on the table. Suddenly, something rolled out of the painting and fell to the ground.
Everyone followed the sound and found that the scrolls on both sides of the scroll had rolled out. The painting had been torn into pieces, and the wooden scrolls wrapped in brocade naturally fell out.
"Don't tell me, this scroll is quite good, the wood is delicate." A person in the crowd who has a lot of research on ancient wood couldn't help but say.
I saw two wooden scrolls, black and red, shiny, indeed different from ordinary wood.
Lin Yu picked up the two scrolls curiously, took a look at them, handed them to Mr. Tao, and said, "Mr. Tao, although you specialize in calligraphy and painting, I heard that you also have a lot of research in wood carving. Take a look at these two scrolls."
Is this broken piece of wood worth some money?"
After Mr. Tao saw the scroll in Lin Yu's hand, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly took it carefully, then put on his reading glasses and looked at it carefully.
Seeing that everyone was looking at the scroll in Tao's hand attentively, Zhu Zhihua was a little disapproving. In his opinion, it was just two broken pieces of wood. There was nothing interesting about it.
"Agarwood, it really is agarwood!"
Mr. Tao, who had been examining it for a long time, suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Agarwood?!"
Everyone around them couldn't help but be surprised. They must know that agarwood is an extremely valuable wood. In ancient times, it was said to be worth ten thousand yuan, and it is even more expensive in modern times.
Mr. Tao put the painting scroll between his nose and smelled it carefully, and said: "It has been so long that the surface has formed patina, but the fragrance is still so strong. It can be seen that it contains a lot of oil. The color of the whole body is dark, and it looks ink under the light."
It’s green, and the oil fiber is white-gold. If I guessed correctly, it should be the white Qinan among Qinan.”
Everyone was in an uproar. You must know that Qinan is the best among agarwood varieties. Nowadays, one gram of Qinan powder on the market has been sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. How much are two such large sticks of Qinan worth?
.
"When I scratched the texture with my nails just now, it felt very sticky and soft. It can be seen that the degree of alcoholization is very high. It should be the top-grade nanmu produced in Hainan. Congratulations, young man." Tao Lao smiled and looked at Lin Yu, holding the wood in his hand.
The scroll was handed back to him.
Qinnan is a spice exclusively used by the royal family in ancient times. Since this painting was made by a member of the royal family, it is normal to use Qinnan wood for the scroll. However, the scroll is sewn and wrapped in brocade. It is impossible to find it unless the painting is torn up.
, so Lin Yu was a blessing in disguise.
"It's true that stupid people have stupid blessings, alas."
"Had I known it, I would have rushed to buy it. I would have bought it for six million."
"Come on, you don't have that life."
Many red-eyed people in the crowd also sighed, wondering why they were not so lucky.
Jiang Jingren, who was sitting on the chair feeling distressed, stood up suddenly when he heard this, walked over quickly to pass the two scrolls and took a closer look, and said excitedly: "Mr. Tao, are you sure? This is really a strange nanmu."
?”
Mr. Tao nodded and smiled and said, "Although I don't specialize in this area, I still have some confidence. I can't go wrong."
"Jia Rong, you are really the lucky star of our Jiang family!"
Jiang Jingren held a piece of strange nanmu in one hand and was extremely surprised. What a son-in-law! From now on, "He Jiarong" is his biological son!
Jiang Yan couldn't help but frown, and looked at Lin Yu in surprise. Is this wimp really so lucky?
First it was Ming Qie, then the diamond ring, and then these two pieces of gold. In just over a month since he woke up, he could be said to be full of luck.
But if it wasn't luck, what other explanation could there be?
Jiang Yan sighed, thinking that if he survived the catastrophe, he would be lucky in the future.
But Zhu Zhihua, who was hiding in the crowd, looked like he was about to cry. Why didn't he think of taking a look at the two scrolls? As a result, Lin Yu took a big advantage, and the 600,000 yuan turned into a sky-high price in the blink of an eye.
If this spread, his designation would become a joke in the antique circle. Thinking that he didn't dare to stay any longer, he walked away in despair while no one was paying attention.
"Jia Rong, sell these two qinan wood to me." Zhou Chen heard the movement and hurriedly squeezed over. He looked at the qinan wood in Jiang Jingren's hand with an eager look on his face.
If these two pieces of wood were given to him, the price would at least double.
"If you want it, I'll give you one." Lin Yu smiled generously.
"Send...send?" Jiang Jingren's expression changed, and he felt extremely distressed.
"Uncle, even if he gives it to me, I can't take it. In this way, I will pay you 20 million to buy these two pieces of wood. If I make money later, I will give you 20% back. How about that?" Zhou Chen said with a smile.
, I couldn't help but be touched in my heart. I didn't expect that Lin Yu would be so generous to him not long after they met.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
When Jiang Jingren heard that it was 20 million and there was still a share of the money, he nodded in agreement and directly stuffed two pieces of Qinnan wood into Zhou Chen's hands.
Soon Zhou Chen found someone to transfer the money to Jiang Jingren's card. Jiang Jingren stared at the text message reminder on his phone and smiled widely.
"Dad, you should give some of this money to He Jiarong." At this time, Jiang Yan reminded him in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, Jia Rong, the money will be half for each of us!" Only then did Jiang Jingren come back to his senses.
"No, Dad, you can keep it. My money is your money." Lin Yu smiled lightly. It was useless for him to ask for so much money. As long as Jiang Yan gave him pocket money on time every month, he would
Contented.
"Okay, okay! Good son-in-law, no, good son, good son!" Jiang Jingren beamed with joy.
Jiang Yan rolled her eyes helplessly, but her eyes when looking at Lin Yu couldn't help but soften a bit.
The next two sets of auctions were full of famous items, and Jiang Jingren also followed the call several times. But after the price went up, he felt sorry for the money and was reluctant to follow, so he had to give up.
Lin Yu didn't persuade him. The price was too high and there was really no point in adding more.
My father-in-law took out three million today and handed back more than 20 million. I have already gained a lot.
Jiang Jingren was also very happy in his heart. Once he went back and handed over the money today, his status in front of his wife would be properly improved.
After the antique auction is the thank you banquet, and after the dinner is the rough stone auction.
Because the properties of rough stones and antiques are different, the groups naturally come and go, so during the dinner, many new faces appeared, and a large part of the people in the afternoon also left.
Zhou Chen arranged for Lin Yu and others to sit at a main table in the front, but Lin Yu felt that what he was wearing was too shabby and was afraid of losing face to Zhou Chen, so he refused and sat at an empty table in the back row.
Zhou Chen and Shen Yuxuan also sat over with bowls and chopsticks.
"Jia Rong, you helped Zhou Chen make a lot of money today. You can also help me at the rough stone auction later. It doesn't take much, just let me make ten or twenty million. Then I will be awesome in front of my dad."
I'm so embarrassed." Shen Yuxuan looked at Lin Yu expectantly.
"I'm just lucky. I barely know a thing or two about antiques, but I really don't know anything about rough stones." Lin Yu shook his head and smiled, "Betting on stones, the key lies in the word bet. Luck is a big factor.
.”
He has already been in the limelight tonight and has helped his father-in-law earn money. There is no need to show off anymore, otherwise Jiang Yan will be suspicious.
Shen Yuxuan sighed, feeling quite disappointed. With his own ability, it would be good if he could not lose money tonight.
"Miss, your flowers."
At this time, the waiter suddenly came over, holding a bouquet of large, fiery red roses in his hand, and leaned over to hand it to Jiang Yan.
"Hey, who gave this to you? You are so brave, are you tired of living?!"
Before Jiang Yan could say anything, Shen Yuxuan immediately cursed.
Lin Yu's expression also changed slightly, and he felt a little unhappy. He dared to send flowers to his wife in front of him, which was too disrespectful to him.
"Send it back to whoever asked you to send it here." Jiang Yan said in a cold voice without even looking at it.
"That gentleman said he was your friend and asked you to take a look at the calligraphy card on the flower first." The waiter looked embarrassed and looked at Shen Yuxuan cautiously.
Jiang Yan frowned, casually glanced at the paper card on the flowers, and her expression changed instantly.
