Chapter 77 Do you have few rich friends around you?
Jian Menglan smiled and said, "That's good enough. If it's too good, people will think I'm a rich lady and rob me, which is a loss!"
Madam Si smiled and shook her head: "Don't you have many rich friends around you?"
"That's a lot. You asked me to help you promote it, don't worry, I will definitely help you promote it." Jian Menglan said, looking at her: "When will it open?"
"I'll let you know when it opens. You know, when A Tian bought the Jade Building, he only bought the building. All the things in it were taken away by the previous owner."
"If we want to reopen, we have to be well prepared. We have been working overtime recently. He said he wants to open before the New Year."
Madam Si said with a smile.
"It's good before the New Year. Many people buy some jewelry before the New Year, so you can make some money." Jian Menglan agreed.
A few of them chatted for a while and prepared to leave.
"Eat first, then leave." Jian Menglan invited the three of them to have dinner.
"No, I have to go back and see if A Tian and A Ming are back. I still have some things to discuss with them." Old Madam Si rejected her invitation.
"Since you still have things to do, I won't keep you for dinner. But please stay for dinner next time." Jian Menglan stood up and saw them off.
"Goodbye, teacher. Goodbye, beautiful grandma." The two children said goodbye to them obediently.
The three of them returned home, and Si Ming and Si Tian had returned early.
"Mom, I heard that people from the Liu family are coming today?" Siming said as he brought the two children over and sat them next to him.
"Well, she said she wanted to borrow money and use antiques as collateral." Old Madam Si asked Bailing to pour her a cup of black tea.
Bailing put down her tea and left the living room.
"They've got a pretty good plan. They're probably taking advantage of the fact that no one in our family knows anything about antiques. They want to use fake items as collateral and then not pay us back."
Si Tian revealed the Liu family's plan in one sentence.
"Mom didn't refuse because she was worried that the antiques would fall into the hands of foreigners." Siming held the two children's hands in his big palms.
Juanjuan could see a thick layer of calluses on his palms.
She stretched out her little finger and scratched it, and it felt hard.
Sima Ming looked down at the little guy with a smile on his face.
"Everything will be easy if these things are in the hands of our compatriots. But if they are lost overseas, it will be difficult to get them back." Old Lady Si sighed.
"I'm not afraid that she'll use fake things to fool us, but I'm afraid they'll sell the real stuff to foreigners."
Si Ming held Juanjuan and Si Jinchen's hands tightly and said, "I will have someone keep an eye on the Liu family's movements."
"I'll also ask people to pay attention." Si Tianyi agreed.
"Dad, are these things important?" Juanjuan looked up at him.
"These are things left by our ancestors. They are a kind of heritage. They are very important to us. They represent a country and a history."
Siming answered her question seriously.
"If it's lost or broken, will it be impossible to find it back?" Si Jinchen asked.
"Yes. These antiques have been passed down for thousands of years. Each one bears witness to an era, and you can also see the culture of that era from it."
Sima Ming sometimes feels helpless because no matter how hard they try, there is always someone holding them back.
Juanjuan blinked her big eyes and said, "Can we hide it? So they can't find it."
"Silly girl, that's someone else's house, we can't hide anything in there." Si Tian rubbed her head.
"Okay!" Curly's little head was thinking about something else.
She jumped off the sofa and ran out to the yard.
Si Jinchen didn't know what she was going to do, so he jumped off the sofa and followed her.
Juanjuan found a corner and was talking about something. After a while, a little head popped out from the corner.
It is gray in color, and its round little eyes look around vigilantly.
"Squeak. What's going on?"
"Rat, can you let the little animals go to Liu's house and hide their antiques?"
"Squeak. What is an antique?" Shushu said he didn't know.
"It's what they hid." Juanjuan scratched his head, not knowing how to explain.
Because she herself didn't know what an antique was.
"Squeak. Something locked up?" Shushu blinked his small green eyes and tilted his head to think about it.
It seems to see that humans always lock good things in locked boxes or rooms.
"Juanjuan, what are you doing squatting here?" Si Jinchen walked towards it.
"Brother, I'm chatting with Shushu!" Juanjuan pointed to a little head.
Si Jinchen looked at it without fear and squatted beside it: "Hello, Shushu."
Shushu nodded at him politely.
A small bird flew over the wall above their heads.
"Chirp chirp chirp. Are you talking about the Liu family's antiques?"
Juanjuan looked up at it: "Yes!"
"Chirp chirp chirp. When I went to their house, I saw they had real and fake antiques on display. I know what's real and what's fake, and I even know where they hide the antiques!"
Juanjuan's eyes lit up: "Niao Niao, can you help?"
"Chirp, chirp. Good! Good!"
Si Jinchen listened to their inexplicable conversation. When he came to his senses, the bird on the wall and the mouse in the corner were gone.
"Juanjuan, are they gone?"
"Yeah." Juanjuan was in a good mood and pulled Si Jinchen back to the hall.
Siming: "Ah Tian, when do you plan to open your Cuiyulou?"
"Now the preparations are almost done, it should be within two or three days." Si Tian thought about the preparations.
"By the way, I made a new batch of raincoats and umbrellas. Take a look at them." He asked the housekeeper to bring over the things he brought back.
Juanjuan came back with Si Jinchen at this time.
Madam Si watched the two children run out and then come back: "What are you doing?"
"Chat with Shushu." Juanjuan looked at the things the housekeeper brought with curiosity.
"Raincoat?" Si Jinchen looked at the things on the table.
"Yes! How about what you drew last time? Second uncle thought it was very beautiful, so he asked someone to make some." Si Tian said as he shook out a raincoat for them to see.
The color is still the same, but there are many beautiful patterns on it.
There are also many beautiful patterns on the black umbrella surface.
"It would be better if the color was changed." Juanjuan looked at the colors of the raincoat and umbrella with some disgust.
"Isn't the color nice?" Si Tian turned his head and looked at the color of the raincoat.
Although there are many beautiful patterns, which make the raincoat and umbrella look much better, they seem a bit dull.
He stroked his chin and thought for a moment, wondering if he should ask someone to study whether the color of the raincoat could be made brighter, so that the paintings would look better.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Mrs. Si knew that he had taken Juanjuan's words to heart. However, these raincoats should be able to be sold at a good price now.
