Chapter 71: Treasure Appraisal - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
The family happily sat together and had a reunion dinner. In the evening, the old man sat in the yard with great interest, drinking wine and admiring the moon, with the moon cakes bought by Wen Yan placed next to him.
The best perfection is when the whole family sits together neatly.
The next morning after breakfast, Wen Mingxiu and his family of four bid farewell to the old man and returned to the city.
"Shall we go home and clean up first? And then go to my father-in-law's house for dinner in the evening?" Wen Mingxiu looked at Yu Qiu beside him and asked his wife for her opinion.
"Okay, I'll be home around 12 o'clock, go back and take a nap, and then leave at 5 o'clock in the afternoon." Yu Qiu nodded. These past two days were really tiring. He got up early yesterday morning and helped with cooking when he got home. He also slept late last night and rushed back today. He was really exhausted.
After returning home, Yu Qiu threw up his hands, ignored the few people, went back to his room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Wen Yi was in good spirits, and Wen Yan, who was worried about the money, was not sleepy either. Thinking about it, she looked at her father and asked, "Dad, are you tired?"
"I'm tired. I'm going to go in and take a nap. Remember to call us when the time comes." Driving is very tiring, and he can't hold on any longer.
So the brother and sister sat on the sofa in silence, and Wen Yi turned on the TV to watch.
"Sister, sister? Why don't you go in and sleep for a while?" Wen Yi asked, looking at his sister's absent-minded look. His sister was sitting on the sofa with her mobile phone in her hand, not knowing what she was doing. She was staring at the screen even when it was black.
"Huh? It's okay, I'm not sleepy, I'm just thinking about something." Wen Yan was just thinking about how to use this thing to maximize the benefits. She was lost in thought and only came to her senses when Wen Yi called her.
This morning, Wen Yan wrapped up the things and brought them back, and put them on the coffee table as soon as he got back. He used old newspapers from his hometown to wrap the things, which was really a bit of a waste. The more Wen Yan looked at it, the more he felt it was an eyesore.
Wen Yan went back to the room, found a bath towel, wrapped it up, and felt much better.
Seeing that it was still early, Wen Yan took a shower and changed his clothes. After cleaning up, he went into the kitchen and made some wontons for himself and Wen Yi to fill their stomachs.
Wen Mingxiu woke up at almost 3 o'clock because he was hungry.
"Yanyan, do you have anything to eat? I feel like I can't hold on any longer and won't be able to make it to your grandpa's house." Wen Mingxiu touched his belly, pushed his son aside, and lay down on the sofa.
"I'll make you some wonton stew. We just had wonton stew." Wen Yan got up and made food for his old father.
Wen Mingxiu was eating something, and Wen Yan looked at him and said, "Dad, let's go find someone to appraise the treasure later. I always feel itchy when it's lying there."
Wen Mingxiu looked at his daughter with amusement. It had been a long time since his daughter had acted so childishly since the college entrance examination. It was really rare for her to be so anxious just because of something she had dug up randomly.
"Okay, it just so happens that I bought a piece of jade in an antique shop before. I am familiar with the owner and it is not far away. Wen Yi, when your mother wakes up and is about to go to your grandfather's house, please call us and I will take your sister to appraise the treasure." Wen Mingxiu was ready to go out after eating and playing. Let's go.
Wen Yan was a little touched to see her father leave immediately after she said that, but she still looked at her father and said, "You'd better wash up and change your clothes first, otherwise my grandfather won't let you in later."
After Wen's father finished packing, the father and daughter drove the treasure to the treasure appraisal.
"Yanyan, don't say later that we dug it out of the ground, or people will laugh at us. Just say it's an old thing in the family and let people take a look at it. Otherwise, people might think that there's something wrong with us father and daughter. We just dug something out of the ground and thought it was an antique." Wen Mingxiu said worriedly in the car. His daughter said it was a hunch, and he didn't want to upset his daughter, so he could only accompany her on the trip.
"Yeah." Wen Yan felt that if someone was powerful enough, he would definitely be able to see it.
"Dad, is the person you mentioned reliable?" Wen Yan was a little worried. What if he met a black-hearted person?
"Don't worry, this guy isn't short of money, he just opened an antique shop for fun. He has the best reputation, and everyone who goes there often knows him."
Only then did Wen Yan feel relieved.
It took about half an hour to drive there. Wen Mingxiu took Wen Yan around and turned left and right before they arrived at an old shop at the end of the antique street. At first glance, there was no one in the shop, but behind the counter, there was a reclining chair with an old man with almost white hair sitting inside.
"Uncle Qi, I'm Wen Mingxiu. I found a toy from the old house today. Could you please take a look at it?" Wen Mingxiu said softly to the old man as soon as he entered.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, sat up slowly as if he had just woken up, and looked at Wen Mingxiu.
"Old thing? What is that?" The old man stood up and walked to the table.
Wen Mingxiu asked his daughter to hand the things over. Wen Yan took away the bath towel and revealed the porcelain inside.
The old man looked at Wen Yan's actions and his eyes twitched slightly. Wrapping something that looked like an antique in a bath towel, this girl was really interesting.
The old man picked up the porcelain with both hands, touched it carefully at first, then took out a magnifying glass and looked at it after a while. His originally careless expression became more and more solemn.
When Wen Yan saw the old man's expression change, he knew that this man was a very capable person and things might go smoothly.
"Where did this thing come from?" The old man put down the tools in his hand and looked at the father and daughter.
"This was found when I was cleaning the house at my hometown yesterday during the Mid-Autumn Festival. My daughter thought it was something unusual, so she wanted to bring it here for you to see." Wen Mingxiu said slowly and thoughtfully.
The old man was silent for a moment, then said to the two of them, "This thing is indeed extraordinary, and it's quite old. If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be from the Ru kiln. As for that era, it's not certain, but it is indeed a big thing. If it is not this, I will ask a few masters to come and take another look tomorrow. You can come back tomorrow, I can't be sure by myself."
Wen Mingxiu's mind was full of antiques at the moment. His daughter was right. This thing was actually an antique. However, he didn't show any fear in front of someone. He could only respond, "Okay, then Uncle Qi, I'll take it back today and bring it back tomorrow."
When they were leaving, the old man saw Wen Yan wanted to continue wrapping it with a bath towel, and he couldn't stand it any longer. "You little girl, you know this is an old thing, but you still wrap it with a bath towel."
Then he took out a piece of red cloth, wrapped the things tightly, and put them in a box before handing it to the two of them.
The father and daughter looked at each other. Okay, they were indeed a bit careless.
