"Dad, Mom, and little sister, come here and let me open your eyes. Let me tell you the truth first. All the furniture in the Chinese medicine clinic outside is made of small-leaf red sandalwood, and they are all royal furniture.
Especially the Imperial Hospital medicine cabinet, which is the only one of its kind in the world and the only one left. It is extremely valuable. These pieces of furniture alone are worth at least 5 billion yuan, and no less."
hiss~~~
Wang Wenjuan and Lin Bingqiao both gasped. 5 billion yuan was a figure that the mother and daughter could not even dream of.
Because Lin Musen already knew the number, he seemed very calm, with a faint smile on his face.
"Come, come, everyone, look at this row of cabinets. Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only some plates and jars on them. Let me tell you, the antiques on this wall are all top-notch antiques, and their value is also tens of billions.
Look, this small cup, the full name is Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, it was the cup used by the emperor to drink wine, this cup alone is worth more than 200 million.
hiss~~~
This time, Lin Musen, Wang Wenjuan, and Lin Bingqiao all gasped in shock.
Lin Bingqiao was surprised: "Oh my God, is this cup made of gold? Can it be sold for 200 million?"
Lin Sanqi chuckled:
"What's the point of a golden cup? It's just a little brother next to the chicken-glazed cup."
Lin Sanqi thought, they are indeed siblings, both like gold and like to use gold to measure wealth.
"Come on, everyone, take a look at this plate. This is called a Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln celadon washbasin. Mom, little sister, it doesn't matter if you haven't heard of the Ru kiln. Just remember, this small plate is also worth 200 million."
Wang Wenjuan was also dumbfounded:
"Why is it always two hundred million? It's just a plate. I don't think it's even as good-looking as the plates in the supermarket's cutlery department."
Antiques are super treasures to those who know their stuff, but to those who don’t, they just take up too much space at home.
"Mom, if this plate were sold, it would basically empty out the entire RT-Mart supermarket. Do you believe it? Haha, come on, after you've seen the ceramics, I'll show you some famous paintings."
At this time, Lin Sanqi unfolded another circle in front of everyone.
Lin Bingqiao took a look and frowned like a chrysanthemum:
"Brother, you call this a masterpiece? Even when I was in kindergarten, I could draw better than him. Look at the handwriting, it's so crooked. And why is there a chicken in the middle? It's just a messy doodle by a kid."
Lin Sanqi burst into laughter:
"Don't you understand? Let me tell you, this painting is called 'Pine and Cypress Standing Tall, Four-Character Couplet in Seal Script II.' The characters on it are called seal script. And the thing in the middle isn't a chicken, it's a goshawk. This is one of Mr. Qi Baishi's masterpieces."
Lin Bingqiao's eyes suddenly lit up:
"I know Qi Baishi. Didn't he paint shrimps? Why is he painting eagles now?"
Lin Sanqi scratched his head. He was no connoisseur, so how could he know why the old man had stopped painting shrimps and instead painted an eagle? And the painting looked like a plucked chicken.
"Do you know why I treasure this painting like a treasure? Let me tell you, this painting, 'Pine and Cypress Standing Tall, Four-Character Couplet in Seal Script,' has two sister paintings. This is one of them. The other one was sold at auction for 420 million yuan."
hiss~~~
The family of three once again made a sound of gritting their teeth.
Lin Bingqiao felt that her brain was not enough:
"What's so good about this painting and this calligraphy? I really don't understand it. By the way, brother, where did you get this painting? It must have been expensive, right?"
Lin Sanqi thought about it and realized that the painting was exchanged with him by a woman named Wu Dexuan in the winter of 1960, and he gave her 500 kilograms of rice at that time.
As for who Wu Dexuan is, perhaps no one knows, but after a hint, everyone will have an expression of "I see!", especially the men.
She was a student of Qi Baishi in his later years. At that time, Wu Dexuan was 22 years old and Qi Baishi was 93 years old.
Then, old man Qi was still as sharp as ever and still had romantic feelings. He wanted to marry his student as his Nth wife. The key point was that Wu Dexuan agreed.
Unfortunately, the old man died of a serious illness on the eve of the wedding, and she was unable to complete the feat of surpassing the other two.
In the end, many of the old man's paintings fell into Wu Dexuan's hands. Wu Dexuan failed to get them in the end, so he exchanged them all with Lin Sanqi for food, and gradually took out a total of 12 paintings and calligraphy.
Lin Sanqi opened another compartment at this time, and when he opened the cabinet door, everyone's eyes brightened.
What appeared before everyone was a crystal clear, emerald green jade Guanyin, which was very shiny under the reflection of the light.
"Come, come, Auntie, you believe in Buddhism, you can worship here. This glass-type emerald jadeite Guanyin was once worshipped by Empress Dowager Cixi. Later, it was lost among the people and finally came into my hands. It is absolutely priceless. I can easily sell it for 700 or 800 million."
Lin Sanqi was so sure about the origin of the jade Buddha because this jade Guanyin was sold to him by Fu Jie.
Who is Fu Jie?
He has the same father and mother as the last emperor of China. Isn't that a close relationship? Even old man Fu Zuo can't compare to him. Fu Zuo and that emperor have the same father and mother.
When Puyi was the little emperor in the palace, the two brothers stole a lot of things. Of course, it was not called stealing, because the things were originally their own.
The two brothers stole a total of 80 boxes of treasures from the Forbidden City, including more than a thousand pieces of calligraphy and paintings. Most of them eventually ended up among the people and even overseas.
Although the common people cursed the evil feudalism, their bodies were still quite honest. When Wang Wenjuan heard that it was the Guanyin that the Empress Dowager had worshipped, she hurriedly followed suit and began to worship.
"Oh, this is royal nobility. May the Bodhisattva bless my husband and son's business prosper, and may my daughter make progress in her studies..."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that it was quite noble. This old lady had ruined the Qing Dynasty. This was almost bad luck.
Lin Sanqi took out two small boxes from the side and stuffed one into each of his mother and sister:
"Mom, little sister, take it and play with it. This is a glass-type imperial green jadeite bracelet. It comes with Zhou Taifu and an appraisal certificate."
Sparkling jewelry is what women love most. Wang Wenjuan and Lin Bingqiao fell in love with it at first sight.
"Brother, why does this appraisal certificate say 1960?"
"Yes, what's the problem? It's not true that it was appraised 60 years ago. Let me tell you, this bracelet is worth at least tens of millions. Mom, let me put it on you and see how beautiful it is."
Wang Wenjuan panicked. She was holding tens of millions of yuan on her wrist. What a joke! Something that would break if touched.
"No, no, this thing is too valuable. You keep it and use it as a betrothal gift when you get married. You are not allowed to wear Ah Bing's either. It will be used as a dowry."
When Lin Bingqiao heard this, she quickly handed it over obediently. She thought that even if she sold herself, she would not be worth tens of millions.
Lin Sanqi laughed out loud after hearing this:
"Mom, little sister, I have hundreds of jade bracelets like this. You can wear whatever you want. If you break one, I still have more."
Wang Wenjuan clutched her heart with her hand: "Oh my God, I'm going to die. Qizi, what kind of foreign fortune did you make? How did you suddenly become so rich?"
Lin Bingqiao also asked curiously:
"Brother, did you pick up a ring on the street? And there was an old man in the ring who taught you some magical skills, and that's how you got all these natural treasures?"
Lin Sanqi glanced sideways:
"Crazy, classmate Lin Bingqiao, you're in your first year of high school, and you're still thinking about reading online novels? What's your crime?"
Lin Bingqiao got anxious when she heard it: "I didn't, don't talk nonsense, be careful I will sue you for defamation, hehe."
Wow~~~
At this moment, Lin Musen next to him suddenly exclaimed:
"Qizi, how old is this ginseng? Isn't this too exaggerated?"
Lin Sanqi took a few steps and looked around, then chuckled:
"Dad, Mom, come here, let me show you what a thousand-year-old ginseng is. This is it. This ginseng weighs a whopping 2,800 grams. Look at the ginseng roots, spread out like an eight-person table. I don't think there's any ginseng in the country that's older than this."
Lin Sanqi spoke very conservatively. After all, there was probably everything in that mysterious place south of Shichahai in the capital, and the things in Lin Sanqi's hands were definitely better.
"Millennial ginseng?"
Lin Musen was so excited that he couldn't even blink: "This is a real treasure. I've only heard about it before, but now I can finally see the real thing."
Lin Sanqi poured cold water on him and said:
"They say it's a thousand years old, but in reality it's probably only about 400 years old. A thousand years is just a concept to fool the laymen."
Lin Musen was still optimistic. "I'm going to put this thousand-year-old ginseng in the center of the clinic for everyone to see. Haha, I'll be so proud."
Seeing his father happy, Lin Sanqi also felt happy. After all, money can’t buy a good family.
"Dad, we have not only thousand-year-old ginseng, but also thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum. Look, it weighs over 20 kilograms. Doesn't it look like a dragon?"
Lin Bingqiao couldn't help but interrupt at this time:
"Brother, aren't they said that Polygonum multiflorum that have become spirits over thousands of years are all in human form? I saw it on the news last time, so why is yours in dragon form?"
Lin Musen touched his daughter's hand and explained:
"Those so-called human-shaped ones are actually fake. When the Polygonum multiflorum is still small, it has a human-shaped shell on the outside. After a few years, the shell is removed and it becomes the so-called human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum. Your brother's is the real thing, definitely wild. Polygonum multiflorum this big is also very rare."
Lin Bingqiao nodded, not quite understanding.
Lin Sanqi was still opening the cabinets one by one:
"There are also chopstick-sized and short ones here, including the largest Cordyceps King, a total of 100 pieces. They look magnificent, don't they? Also, there's this 1980s small-bearded golden croaker fish maw, the Xinhua dried tangerine peel from the Daoguang era, and the Hetian jade seed material the size of a football. They're all priceless.
So, Mom, Dad, and little sister, don't worry. Our family is rich now, and we'll get richer in the future, so you should stand up straight. If you're still timid and frugal, then all my wealth will be wasted."
As soon as these words came out, the family of four all laughed.
Lin Sanqi pointed to a cabinet full of ancient books and said:
"And Dad, look at these ancient medical books that have been lost. We can also hold regular exhibitions so that colleagues from all over the country can come and see what heritage is. What can others use to compete with our Lingnan Hall?
With these top-notch domestic cultural relics and medicinal herbs on display, plus a room full of red sandalwood furniture, our Lingnan Hall will probably become an instant hit. The only problem is that you are the only doctor in the clinic, and I don't think you will be able to handle it all."
Lin Musen also thought about a question and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, you take me for an idiot. If such a high-end and comprehensive Chinese medicine clinic only has me as a doctor, it would be such a waste. So I've contacted many retired famous Chinese medicine practitioners in Huadu to come and see patients. Chairman Lin, you're not short of money anyway, so it's only right that you support Dad, right?"
Lin Sanqi felt relieved when he heard this. The medicinal materials and jade he currently stored were worth hundreds of billions in total, so the Lin family would definitely not be short of money.
Any trouble that can be solved with money is not a trouble.
Now that my own father is willing to pay for a famous Chinese medicine doctor to see me, this is a good start and also lays the first step in the foundation for the future development of the Chinese medicine clinic. (End of this chapter)
