Cultural relics and antiques are treasures of all mankind and of course they cannot appear anywhere other than museums.
However, this kind of handicraft makes up for this shortcoming very well.
After hearing Ruan Mianmian's words, Alan Adams was shocked again.
He had seen many people who took copies as the real thing and boasted about it, fearing that others would not believe it. Then they used such fake things to make profits.
This is the first time I've seen someone directly admit that the gift he gave was a replica. He was so frank and open, without any attempt to hide or pretend. This is quite refreshing.
"Ms. Ruan, don't you think it's a little...inappropriate to give someone a replica?" It was hard to tell whether Alan Adams' tone was happy or angry.
He just stared at Ruan Mianmian, as if he wanted to see through her.
Ruan Mianmian looked back at Alan Adams generously, without any retreat or hesitation, "Mr. Adams, I think the prerequisites for giving gifts to others are one is love, and the other is honesty."
''I didn't give the replica as the real thing, that was my honesty. And Lady Susan liked my gift very much. That was enough.''
"And cultural relics should be kept in museums for all mankind to appreciate, rather than being kept in private collectors' secret rooms and never seen. As for replica crafts like this, they can be brought into ordinary families, so that everyone can learn more about that period of civilization. After all, our ancestors are still very worthy of respect."
In a few decades, there will be countless cultural relics and peripherals published by various museums.
There are cute versions, one-to-one replicas, and some weird and strange ones. Compared with those things, this bronze mirror is not uncommon.
But at this moment, it is still a very good gift.
"My dear, I like this gift very much. Fortunately, it is a replica, otherwise, I would not be able to get it." Mrs. Susan felt that her husband's words were not very pleasant, so she quickly came to Ruan Mianmian's rescue.
She also agreed with Ruan Mianmian that cultural relics should stay in museums instead of being kept in secret rooms and gathering dust.
"I'm sorry, Miss Ruan, I'm a bit blunt, I hope you don't mind." Alan Adams immediately stepped down from the step his wife handed him.
He didn't mean to act like this. It was just that his current job position was a bit sensitive.
And his wife is too naive, so he is always wary of anyone who appears around her.
"It's okay, I understand." Ruan Mianmian didn't actually feel offended or uncomfortable.
It is actually easier to get along with such straightforward people. On the contrary, those who never say anything and keep everything to themselves, and who you never know when will gossip about you behind your back, are more terrible and difficult to get along with.
If she had to choose between the two, Ruan Mianmian would rather choose the first one.
"This is my gift, I hope Mrs. Susan likes it." Qin Zheng saw that he had almost finished speaking, and then handed over the gift he had prepared.
He was not as thoughtful as Ruan Mianmian. He just gave her a Suzhou embroidery scarf bought at the Friendship Store.
It's presentable and not particularly expensive.
For someone of his status, such a gift was enough.
At this time, a few more people came to the door, and they seemed to be acquainted with Alan Adams.
After nodding to Ruan Mianmian, Alan Adams walked to the door to greet those people.
Seeing her husband walking away, Mrs. Susan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Ruan. My husband is not a bad person. It's just that he always looks at my friends with a certain degree of scrutiny. He is thinking about me, so it's not hard for me to blame him."
After all, they were a couple, and Mrs. Susan knew her husband very well. He was always afraid that she would make bad friends, so he was always harsh on her friends.
She knew that this was a sign of his love for her, so she couldn't say anything and could only apologize to her friends.
"It's okay, Mrs. Susan. I'm not angry. On the contrary, I'm happy that you have such a husband. It can be seen that he cares about you very much."
"Thank you for your understanding. You are so kind." Then Mrs. Susan looked at Qin Zheng and said, "You should also love Ruan well~"
"Definitely." It was unclear whether Qin Zheng's promise was meant for Madam Susan or for Ruan Mianmian.
Ruan Mianmian's ears immediately turned red after hearing this.
It's really terrible. The enthusiasm of foreigners is really irresistible.
"Ruan, you and Qin are welcome to do whatever you want here. I have to go say hello to the others and will be back in a while."
After all, today was Mrs. Susan's home court, and she couldn't stay with Ruan Mianmian all the time. There were many other people who needed to be taken care of.
"Okay, please." Ruan Mianmian understood very well.
She was just one of the invited guests, and there were many other people in the banquet hall.
After greeting, Mrs. Susan put away the gifts and walked towards the door. In just a short while, a lot of people appeared in the banquet hall.
When foreigners hold banquets, they always serve cold dishes.
However, this is China, and we can't do things the way foreign countries do. At least cocktails and the like are not available in China right now.
On the dining table were various kinds of juice made from juice powder.
There are also some croissants common in Western cuisine, and a fruit cake.
There are not many categories, and the products are not very exquisite. In China decades later, it is just the level of a county bakery.
But nowadays, it is still very rare.
Ruan Mianmian was not picky about food, so she followed the crowd and took a glass of juice of her favorite color and a small chocolate cake.
Most of the guests invited by Mrs. Susan are Chinese. When they talk to each other, they still use Chinese. Only when they meet foreigners will they switch the language system to English.
In this day and age, it is not easy to get so many people who can speak English together.
This is only in Guangzhou. If you go to other places, you will never see such a scene.
Suddenly, Qin Zheng saw a person, which made his hands tremble slightly. He almost dropped the bread.
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Zheng's abnormality did not escape Ruan Mianmian's eyes.
It is rare for Qin Zheng to lose his composure.
"Nothing." Qin Zheng adjusted himself very quickly. If someone was not familiar with him, they might not have noticed his momentary loss of composure.
