Chapter 451 Discovering Qing Dynasty Antiques
However, the restaurant only has the lobby, so it is unlikely that they can pretend not to see it! Unless Cao Wenxin and the others go to the other side.
But what happened? The waiter led Cao Wenxin towards them, and their eyes met. It would be bad if Xu Jingchen didn't say hello.
"Ms. Cao, what a coincidence! Why don't we go together?" Xu Jingchen invited gentlemanly.
Cao Wenxin glanced at Xing Bei, a flash of disdain in her eyes, and then refused: "No, thank you, Mr. Xu, enjoy your meal."
The word "you" directly ignored Xing Bei.
After saying that, he followed the waiter to the front seat.
When she saw Xing Bei, Ai Xinyu was shocked!
After leaving, Ai Xinyu said in surprise: "Wen Xin, this world is too small! You actually know the friend of that scumbag."
Xing Bei and Xu Jingchen had good hearing, so even though Ai Xinyu's voice was very low, they still heard it. Xing Bei's face suddenly darkened, but Xu Jingchen couldn't help laughing, but he didn't laugh out loud.
After they sat down, Cao Wenxin explained to Ai Xinyu awkwardly, "Actually, I misunderstood. They are not what we thought. Yesterday, that woman started to dislike him for not being capable, so she left him. Now that she sees that he is capable, she comes back to pester him. They are all my brother-in-law's friends. We even had dinner together last night!"
Although she was unhappy with Xing Bei, she would not go back to ruin his reputation.
"Ah!" Ai Xinyu was shocked: "Then nothing happened yesterday!"
"We just had a few arguments." said Cao Wenxin.
"You! You are too impulsive. Now you have misunderstood others!" Ai Xinyu was simply unable to complain about Cao Wenxin.
"Who wouldn't have misunderstood in that situation yesterday?" Although Cao Wenxin admitted that she had misunderstood, who wouldn't have misunderstood in that situation!
Xu Jingchen and Xing Bei finished eating first and left first. Before leaving, Xu Jingchen came to say goodbye to Cao Wenxin, and his gentlemanly attitude impressed the girls.
"This man is not only handsome, but also gentlemanly and polite. Does he have a girlfriend? If not, then go get him!" Ai Xinyu and Cao Wenxin said.
Cao Wenxin was thoughtful. Xu Jingchen was indeed good in every aspect, but she was not attracted to him yet. Moreover, even if she was attracted to him, he had to be attracted to her as well!
When it comes to relationships, just let it take its course! When Cao Wenxin and the others finished their meal and paid the bill, the waiter told her that Xu Jingchen had already paid.
Several people were surprised when they heard this.
"Oh my God! This man is not only handsome and gentlemanly, but also so generous." Ai Xinyu felt more and more that Xu Jingchen was a good person.
After Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting finished their meal, they went out for a walk, but they didn't go far, just near the courtyard and around the moat.
As they walked, they arrived at Beihai Park.
"Do you want to take a boat trip on the river?" Leng Shaoting asked.
"Okay!" Gu Ning said excitedly.
Then, the two of them went to rent a small pleasure boat. Besides Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning, there was only the boatman.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting got on the pleasure boat and sailed on the river.
Gu Ning was sitting on the edge of the boat when he saw a goldfish floating up nearby. Its belly was turned upside down, and it looked like it was about to die. Gu Ning picked up the fish and gave it some spiritual energy. Soon, the goldfish became lively again.
When Leng Shaoting saw this, surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, nor did he make any random guesses.
Gu Ning joked, "This is a goldfish, you can't eat it. If it were any other fish, you could take it home and cook it."
Leng Shaoting smiled and touched Gu Ning's head, full of doting: "If you want to eat fish, go back and buy some later."
Gu Ning blinked at him and said, "Aren't you allergic to seafood? Fish is also seafood!"
"I'm not allergic to fish." Leng Shaoting said.
"Okay! Then let's eat fish this afternoon." Gu Ning said with a smile.
If Gu Ning had any preference in food, it would be seafood. But considering that Leng Shaoting was allergic to seafood, she never mentioned eating seafood when she was with Leng Shaoting.
After Gu Ning put the goldfish he had rescued into the water, the goldfish did not leave. Instead, it jumped around in front of Gu Ning, as if performing for him.
Moreover, Gu Ning could clearly feel that the goldfish was looking at him with gratitude and flattery, which made Gu Ning feel quite surprised, but he did not say it out loud.
Leng Shaoting also felt it and was no less surprised than Gu Ning, but he still said nothing.
Gu Ning suddenly had an idea and wanted to see what was inside with his eyes, and then he looked underwater.
The water here was very turbid, but in Gu Ning's eyes, it became very clear. There were many fish swimming around in the water, and there were also many water plants, which were very dense.
After watching for a while, just when Gu Ning was about to retract his X-ray vision, a vermilion object caught his eye. Gu Ning looked closely and found that it was a mahogany box, as big as a 20-inch suitcase.
What's going on? Could there be antiques inside? Thinking about it, Gu Ning looked inside the box. Gu Ning was right. There were antiques inside! Gu Ning recognized a few of them, including the Qing Dynasty Shexi Cangyu Inkstone, the Qing Dynasty Qianlong Yellow Glaze Porcelain Bagua Ruyi Rotating Heart Vase, and the Qing Dynasty Qianlong Painted Enamel Reed and Goose Vase. Gu Ning only saw these few. The rest were not very clear.
These are from the Qing Dynasty, and according to the records in the books, these are all things from the palace! The appearance of these things here made Gu Ning wonder if someone stole them from the palace, and then was discovered and had to throw them into the river. After all, there is a moat next to it, and inside the moat is the ancient imperial palace.
Gu Ning was so excited that his emotions leaked out without him noticing and were seen by Leng Shaoting.
"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?" Leng Shaoting asked curiously.
Gu Ning was startled, then realized that he had lost his composure, but he did not feel guilty, instead he lied as he always does: "I saw two fish fighting!"
"Fight?" Fish can fight? Although Leng Shaoting had no doubts, he found it interesting.
Although Gu Ning found the antique, she couldn't take it now. Even if she wanted to take it, she had to wait until night. However, with Leng Shaoting around, she couldn't take any action, otherwise she couldn't explain how she knew there were antiques under the river.
Therefore, I am afraid I cannot get it this time. I can only wait until next time I come to the capital and Leng Shaoting is not around.
But Gu Ning was not in a hurry. These things sank to the bottom of the water and were covered by aquatic plants. Under normal circumstances, they would not be discovered. Otherwise, this box would not have been in the water for hundreds of years.
After strolling in the park for an hour, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting returned to the courtyard, and then drove towards the Antique Street.
