brother?
Cheng Juan glanced at Qin Ran.
Cheng Wenru was also stunned. "Your brother gave you a kingfisher hairpin? And it's so perfectly preserved? Are you sure this is your brother?"
“Is this called Indice Jade?” Qin Ran didn’t expect Cheng Wenru to ask so many questions in a row. She handed the Indice Jade hairpin to Cheng Wenru and said, “Take it if you like it. My brother has a lot more.”
Qin Ran was nonchalant.
She had a good memory. Although she didn't know what it was called, she remembered that there were several such hairpins in the second collection room of the giant crocodile.
Qin Ran had no interest in these things. She had never studied archaeology or antiques. Seeing that Cheng Wenru seemed to be quite knowledgeable, she simply threw the things into her hands.
"This dot of jadeite is really well preserved," Cheng Juan, who has studied archaeology and restored ancient artifacts, said lightly. He raised his eyes nonchalantly, and his fingertips brushed across the celadon teacup in his hand. "The color is so bright, it is one of the best in the existing dot of jadeite. Sister, take it if I give it to you."
The art of inlaying kingfisher feathers has been lost in modern times.
All that remain are preserved antiquities.
...
...
But because of the long time, many of the kingfisher feathers have lost their luster. Those preserved as exquisitely as the ones in Qin Ran's hands are rare, and collectors will not take them out to show others.
Cheng Wenru hurriedly and carefully returned the hairpin in her hand to Qin Ran, "No, I can't take this."
This thing is priceless and its collection value is ridiculously high. Even if Qin Ran doesn't study it or doesn't care, Cheng Wenru will definitely not accept it.
Cheng Juan looked at her coldly, "You don't like it?"
Qin Ran tilted her head and smiled, "If I keep this thing here, I don't know when it will be lost."
Cheng Mu raised his hand and said honestly, "One day, a big pink diamond of Miss Qin rolled out of her gift box, and I picked it up."
Cheng Wenru: “…”
She was forced to accept the kingfisher hairpin.
As for the second wooden box, it was much more normal, with just a pearl that looked very large.
Cheng Wenru breathed a sigh of relief.

at the same time.
Cheng family.
Old Master Cheng ate another half bowl of rice and looked radiant.
At the dinner table, Cheng Raohan put down his bowl and looked at Old Man Cheng: "Dad, is there any happy event recently?"
"Nothing happy." Old Master Cheng picked up the digestive tea beside him, lowered his eyes and took a sip. His majestic expression eased slightly, and a smile could not be concealed in his shrewd eyes: "Ran Ran will come home the day after tomorrow."
Qin Ran had been in Beijing for so long, but Cheng Raohan had never found out her background. Perhaps she was well protected by Cheng Juan.
All I know is that her last name is Qin, and the old man and Cheng Wenru call her "Ranran".
I don’t know anything else.
Cheng Raohan did not continue investigating when he could not find out anything. Since she was a woman from another place, Cheng Raohan did not spend too much energy on her.
But looking at Mr. Cheng's expression at this time, he seemed to like her very much and had been in a good mood in recent days.
Cheng Raohan withdrew his gaze calmly, said "hmm", and said nothing.
After the meal, Mr. Cheng went to play with the parrot, and Cheng Raohan returned to his room.
"Master, the day after tomorrow all the Cheng family's stewards will come back to celebrate your birthday," the subordinate beside him replied respectfully, "I heard that Shi Liming will also come back."
Mr. Cheng is old and has always been in poor health. He has been relying on drugs and forget-me-nots from the Medical Research Institute to prolong his life, and his birthday is getting fewer and fewer every year.
Therefore, regardless of whether it is a birthday or not, all the Cheng family's stewards, big and small, will come back.
Cheng Raohan paused. He stood by the gallery window and thought for a moment. "The day after tomorrow I will go to see Shi Liming in person."
"yes!"
The subordinate finished speaking but did not leave.
After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again: "The Miss Qin that the old man mentioned..."
"Don't worry about it," Cheng Raohan said in a light voice, "It's just right that Cheng Juan brought her back. All the heads of the various departments are back, so let's see if he is suitable to be the head of the family with his beauty-induced personality."
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Because of the relationship with the Second Hall Master, Cheng Juan gradually gained some popularity in the Cheng family. Cheng Raohan was worrying about this, so Cheng Juan sent him a pillow.
The head of a large family naturally has to marry a mistress of equal strength. If Cheng Juan and his group return, they will at least lose the support of most people.

Saturday.
The much-anticipated "Idol 24 Hours" will continue at 8pm.
Although Qin Ran was not there this time, Cheng Wenru also watched it because she heard that Qin Ran's younger brother was there. Cheng Wenru had never met Qin Ran's younger brother.
Lu family.
Lu Zhaoying lay on the sofa, the earrings on his ears reflecting a cold light. When the time came, he casually tuned to the 24-hour live broadcast of his idol.
Qin Ran is not here today.
The barrage finally returned to normal.
【Welcome everyone to return to Idol 24 Hours】
[Producer: It’s so hard for me. Today I can finally be an idol for 24 hours (tears) (tears)]
However, in the middle stage, Qin Ling unlocked a Luban lock without blinking an eye -
[Hahaha, did you see the confused looks on Emperor Qin and King Yan’s faces? Take screenshots, they’re all emoticons! 】
[Nephew: Didn’t expect that? 】
[Okay, welcome everyone to watch Idol 10 Hours]
【Program team: ……?】 ? ? 】
[Program team: Today is another difficult day (smile)
【Program team: cnm?】 ? 】
[I humbly ask the production team online to give fewer IQ questions. Don’t you want the show to be longer? 】
Lu Zhaoying had been defeated by the book Qin Ling read in the school clinic, so she was not surprised to see this scene.
Behind the sofa, a woman in pajamas and a facial mask came over and grabbed a few purple hairs on his head. "Lu Zhaoying, you haven't cut off these purple hairs yet?"
“Fuck—Mom, be gentle.” Lu Zhaoying stepped back and introduced the woman, “Look, let me introduce you to my brother and sister—”
He pointed at the TV.
On the TV was Qin Ling's cold little face with a pair of dark eyes.
Mother Lu took a look and tore off the mask on her face. She stood there and watched for a long time.
Seeing that Lu Zhaoying was about to slip away, she did not move, but reached out and grabbed Lu Zhaoying's collar, and said very gently: "Do you know that child? I won't hit you, tell me."
Lu Zhaoying was sure that he would not be beaten, so he sat on the sofa and said, "I told you, they are my adopted brothers and sisters. I have said it many times."
"The Ranran you mentioned?" Mother Lu stood condescendingly.
Lu Zhaoying raised his chin and waved his hand proudly: "Of course, are they destined to be with you?"
"I want to meet them." Mother Lu glanced at Lu Zhaoying.
Lu Zhaoying muttered, "What are you talking about? She doesn't even dare to answer my call... Damn it, damn it, mom, I promise you! I'll help you make an appointment with her! Make an appointment! I must make an appointment!"

Sunday.
Cheng Wenru came to Tinglan to pick up Qin Ran at 8:30 as agreed.
Although today is the old man's birthday, as it is not his birthday, Mr. Cheng did not accept gifts from other families. Instead, he held a large family dinner. Cheng Wenru wore a white lotus leaf collar top with a red ankle-length skirt underneath, and casually put on a cashmere coat on the outside.
She knocked on the door and was stunned when she saw Qin Ran still wearing a black coat. She turned to Cheng Juan and said, "Brother, are you so poor that you can't afford clothes?"
Cheng Juan glanced at her calmly, "You can only rely on fancy clothes."
Cheng Wenru: “…”
Why hasn't Cheng Juan exploded today? ?
Cheng Wenru was driving herself today. She pushed Cheng Juan to the driver's seat and pulled Qin Ran to sit in the back.
Cheng Mu drove another car back first.
After briefly introducing the Cheng family to Qin Ran, she said, "It's a courtyard house, but there are a lot of people here today. If you want to visit the house, you may not be able to finish it in one day. If you stay here for one day, you should be able to finish it..."
Tinglan is quite far from the old house. Today is a weekend and there is no traffic jam on the road. It took just over an hour to get to the bluestone road and finally stop in front of a heavy and ancient gate with two stone lions.
Cheng Juan took out the car key and got out.
at the same time.
Cheng family.
At the lobby at the end of the corridor, several stewards had already arrived. Cheng Raohan got up early today and was drinking tea with these stewards.
Butler Cheng came out hurriedly from the back of the lobby, his face showing excitement and joy.
Halfway through his walk, he realized there were people in the lobby. He stopped and greeted Cheng Raohan and several managers very politely.
This person has been Mr. Cheng's confidant for decades. To have reached his current position, even Cheng Raohan has to give Butler Cheng some face.
Several managers quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
"Butler, what are you in such a hurry to do?" Cheng Raohan put down the tea in his hand and looked at Butler Cheng, very confused.
Butler Cheng bent down slightly, holding a small notebook in his hand, and his old eyes could not hide his smile: "Miss Qin is here, I was just about to pick her up!"
