“…Alright!”
The two old people had no choice but to accept.
Xun Manyin smiled elegantly, "Thank you."
After saying that, he stepped out and asked Qinglu to call someone in the small courtyard, saying that they would be there in ten minutes.
Tang Yaping looked at Ning Yichu embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Miss Ning. I originally wanted you and the three children to come here to have some fun and rest, but I didn't expect to encounter something like this..."
"It's okay." Ning Yichu smiled kindly, picked up the antique Baimei teacup in his hand and took a sip of the Rain-Previous Longjing tea. It tasted very good. "Teacher Tang's tea is good. It's okay for me to stay for a while. You guys go and do your work first."
"good."
It had nothing to do with Ning Yichu, but the three little ones were still very curious about the origins and dynasties of many of the porcelains here. They happened to ask Ning Yichu about it, and she gave them a popular science explanation.
Tang Yaping listened to it and didn't expect Ning Yichu to be right about everything. "Miss Ning is also interested in porcelain?"
Ning Yichu smiled and said, "Not really. It's just that Master talked about it a lot before, and I read a lot, so I remembered some of it."
Jade carvings and porcelain are two common antiques in China, so apart from the different craftsmanship, the rest of the age, texture and so on are pretty much the same.
"So that's how it is." Tang Yaping didn't ask any further questions.
After a while, the so-called jade carving master arrived.
As soon as he came in, he first politely fawned over Xun Manyin, and then complimented Tang Yaping and Wen Song several times.
He is a little fat and has a friendly and pleasing smile. Although his eyes are small, they are clever and clever. He looks like a sly old fox.
"Oh, by the way. Miss Xun, where is the porcelain you mentioned?"
After finishing the greetings, the jade carving master blinked and gave Xun Manyin a flattering smile.
Xun Manyin pointed to the main hall where Ning Yichu was, "It's inside."
"Oh well."
As soon as jade carving master Fan Xiang entered the room, he met Ning Yichu's face. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and almost stopped at the door.
No, who in the jade carving business in China doesn’t know Ning Yichu?
She's here, why would she come here by herself?
Could it be that Ning Yichu didn’t recognize whose work it was?
This is a bit tricky...
Fan Xiang's mind went through twists and turns seven or eight times, and the flesh on his face trembled again and again.
He narrowed his eyes and smiled good-naturedly at Ning Yichu, saying politely, "Teacher Ning, you're here too."
"Yeah." Ning Yichu drank tea and nodded.
Xun Manyin didn't quite understand why Fan Xiang knew Ning Yichu. She just thought they had business dealings and didn't take it seriously.
"It's that jade carving, take a look." Xun Manyin pointed at the palm-sized jade carving.
As Ningning placed the jade carving on the table, Fan Xiang said, "Okay!"
After saying that, he took two or three steps over, picked it up and took a look, his face suddenly looked strange.
He was a little silent, a little doubtful, and wanted to slap himself. Why did he take on this matter so hastily?
Fan Xiang looked at Ning Yichu tremblingly, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Teacher Ning, what do you think?"
"Why ask her?"
Xun Manyin truly didn't understand. She crossed her arms, frowned slightly, and showed a hint of impatience. "Didn't you say you could tell who wrote it at a glance? From ancient times to the present, from China to the West, from great authors to small ones, there's no one you don't know well."
"...Haha." Fan Xiang laughed awkwardly.
You believe what I say when I brag?
But that’s not the key now.
Fan Xiang couldn't hold it in any longer, but fearing slapping himself in the face, he had to speak tentatively, "But...but, this, isn't it Miss Ning's work? Why do you need me to authenticate it..."
To trick him?
"Ning..." Xun Manyin was about to ask him to clarify which Ning he was referring to, but suddenly her whole body froze. "Ning Yichu?"
Considering Fan Xiang's respectful attitude towards Ning Yichu just now, his face suddenly turned pale.
Was this done by Ning Yichu? How is that possible!
Xun Manyin's face turned pale, her fists clenched tightly. She turned to look at Fan Xiang, "Did you make a mistake..."
"Miss Xun, how dare I make a mistake!"
Fan Xiang almost thought they were teasing him and was about to cry, "Isn't Miss Ning right here? Just ask her in person and you'll know!"
"No need to ask."
At this time, Ningning spoke in an adult tone, shaking her little paws, "This is what my mommy made."
She had wanted to say it a long time ago, but was interrupted!
This collection was carved by her mother when she and her brother lived abroad. At that time, Ning Yichu would make these in her spare time, and this is one of them.
She remembered that she also participated in the "design"!
"It just so happens that the missing part is the inscription on Mommy's seal."
Ningning pouted, took the jade carving and turned it over. "Look, isn't this carved out a little bit? It's because Mommy was working at the time, and my brother and I were playing hide-and-seek, and I accidentally bumped into Mommy's hand..."
Fortunately, Ning Yichu was steady enough, otherwise this work would never see the light of day again.
"And... Doudou." Ningning took Doudou's hand and pointed to her, "Mommy was thinking of you at that time. Look, these three patterns next to each other are us!"
It’s true. The three chubby little tigers above, pouncing on the hydrangea, look smart and cute.
Doudou's eyes lit up immediately, and she threw herself softly into Ning Yichu's arms, saying coquettishly, "Mommy..."
Ning Yichu couldn't help laughing and patted the heads of the three little guys, "Okay, if you like, Mommy will do it for you later."
