She was very pleased because the collection room at home was a place that the old lady had kept, and few family members knew about it.
It's not just the hard work left by the old man.
It was also a way to make money speculating in cryptocurrencies in those years.
So bringing Gu Shengsheng with her now means that the old lady has already treated Shengsheng as her own child.
But the eldest lady is worried and doesn’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
The old lady walked to the door of the collection room and felt something was wrong. After opening it, she said, "Everything here was left by your grandfather."
"It's just that..." The old lady felt something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.
"I always feel that these cultural relics are not the same, as if some of them are different. I don't know if it's because my eyes are blurry."
Gu Shengsheng walked around and looked at various places.
Then he frowned and said, "Grandma, are these cultural relics left by Grandpa? There are about 70 or so pieces?"
"Um!"
"The third blue and white porcelain piece in the second row is a fake. The sixth enamel turtledove in the first row and the first jadeite phoenix in the last row were both swapped."
At first glance, Gu Shengsheng couldn't see the mystery in it, but it always felt real to the touch, and the counterfeiting skills were very advanced.
It feels like the painting that was previously on the market and was jointly preserved by the Hangzhou Museum and the Hanwu Museum was forged by one person.
It’s interesting that counterfeiters nowadays are so arrogant.
Gu Shengsheng could discern that the cost estimator, perhaps left-handed, wasn't applying the right amount of pressure. The final stroke was always too light. How could it be that every artifact was like this?
So, it can only come from the same person.
Then the old lady was puzzled: "Did your grandfather get cheated when he was alive?"
After all, the antique business is very complicated and she doesn't understand it, so it's normal for the old man to buy the wrong thing.
"No." Gu Shengsheng was very sure. "The forgery technique is very similar to the forgeries I saw in the museum before. And they were all made in recent years, after the old man passed away."
The old lady covered her cheeks and said, "Your grandfather is not dead, did you go to buy it again?"
“…” Gu Shengsheng didn’t know what to say.
“…” The eldest lady didn’t know what to say either. The old lady had a very creative imagination.
Then Lu Linlin, who had remained silent the entire time, said, "It must have been stolen!"
"I suspect it's my second aunt Wang Shufen." Although Lu Linlin had no evidence, she felt it was her. Who else could it be?
The old lady sat on the ground, looking much more haggard. “I think it’s her too.”
"We've let the thief into the house. What should we do now?" Everyone looked at Gu Shengsheng.
Gu Shengsheng said, "Let's take care of Wang Shufen's money first! If she needs money urgently, she will pawn it. I have many friends in Beijing who can help take care of her. Don't worry, grandma."
"Well," the old lady said, "it's nothing to do with dead things. But Wang Shufen, who has been the second wife for so many years, doesn't act like a master at all. What's the point of stealing?"
At this moment, Lu Linlin looked at the trending searches and said, "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"
"The Lu Group's stock price has really gone up."
Before anyone could think, Lu Linlin added, "But it only lasted three minutes. Right now... the top trending topic is the Lu Group's acquisition. It's officially been announced, and a press conference will be held in three days. Ryan will be making an appearance then."
Gu Shengsheng: “?”
"Mr. Ryan?" The old lady suddenly got excited. That guy was really efficient!
Lu Linlin shook her head. "I don't know. LG, I think? I just saw someone say that."
"Oh my god, we haven't even taken action against them yet, and the company is gone? Then why are they back making trouble? Are they just causing trouble for nothing?"
The old lady laughed so hard that her stomach hurt: "There's a commotion, let that stinky kid... cough cough, there's a commotion, so I'll have someone speed up the acquisition!"
Then he looked at Gu Shengsheng proudly and said, "Not everyone can be offended by them."
At this moment, Gu Shengsheng saw a fragment covered by a glass cover in the middle of the collection room.
She was a little surprised. It was indeed a fragment of a Ru kiln celadon glaze sunflower bowl.
I quickly opened the photos on my phone and found that the fracture surfaces matched!
Gu Shengsheng's face was filled with joy. The old lady said, "I knew there was a fragment at home. Your grandfather treasured it like a treasure and said it would be useful in the future."
"Look, he died before he could even use it."
Gu Shengsheng explained the matter of the Ru kiln bowl to her grandmother.
Grandma said, "Look at me, I know it's useful to you. Take it quickly. After it's repaired, you can put it in your private museum."
"As for these dozens of cultural relics at home, they will be placed in your museum and regarded as the treasures of the museum."
"How can that be!" Gu Shengsheng quickly refused. These things were extremely valuable, totaling more than 10 billion yuan. They must be the life's work of her grandparents.
Grandma Lu sighed and said, "If I stay here, I'll just gather dust and be stolen by my unfilial descendants. There's no point. At least if I follow you, others will see me."
"Just like this fragment you mentioned, your grandfather used it to propose to me, and I was so angry. Does this mean I'm a broken bowl?"
The old lady still felt warm when she thought about these things: "I didn't understand it at that time, and I always quarreled with him because of these things. Later, when I saw his treasures, I realized that these things might really be precious."
"If you can put them together to form a bowl, your grandfather will be happy in his grave."
Speaking of the old man, the old lady also felt a little uncomfortable.
He stood up and said helplessly: "The person is gone, but the things he had are still there. After all, seeing the things reminds me of him."
Gu Shengsheng also felt that what grandma said was right. You can guard against thieves day and night, but it is difficult to guard against thieves in your own home. Instead of leaving it here for those ambitious people to watch, it might be a good idea to move it to a private museum later.
Then Gu Shengsheng looked at Madam Lu and said, "Mother-in-law, please take all the things from the old house over there. We will all live there from now on. The courtyard is quieter and the Second Madam and the others can't come in and make trouble."
"Okay." Mrs. Lu nodded.
Just as I finished speaking and was preparing to move there, Ryan called.
Gu Shengsheng answered the phone, and when the other end remained silent, she asked, "What's wrong?"
"I acquired Lu's." He said concisely.
Gu Shengsheng said, "I know."
Because he couldn't tell the emotion, he began to explain: "The Lu Group has been swallowed up by the second branch, and your first branch's shares are gone, so it won't affect you."
He didn't have any thoughts about it before, but now he was afraid that Shengsheng would misunderstand him.
"Yeah." Gu Shengsheng nodded. She knew all of this.
"If I push them too far, I'm afraid I'll hurt you. Protect yourself, and I'll..."
"No need. I can do it." Gu Shengsheng said.
Lu Shijing paused and said, "Let's find a time to meet. I have something to tell you."
