Chapter 1732 The Origin of the Ancient Painting
"It is said that this is the portrait of Xi Shi, one of the four beauties in ancient times."
The waiter quickly came over and explained to the three of them.
"The picture scroll is from an unknown ancient painting master because it is so old."
"Let experts identify it. The age of the scroll is similar to that of Xi Shi."
"So it is speculated that it should be a portrait of Xi Shi, the most beautiful woman in the world."
Watching the waiter explain attentively beside him.
"This painting is not of Xi Shi, but of another..."
Lin Yuan said calmly at this time.
"never mind."
"It's been such a long time, so it's okay not to mention it."
Lin Yuan didn't want to recall those old events, so he didn't continue talking.
"Old sir, do you know the origin of this painting?"
A gentle and elegant middle-aged man asked eagerly.
This person is the owner of our store.
I went to the store to rest for a while, but I didn't expect to meet someone who knew the origin of their store's treasure.
This painting has been passed down in his family for a long time.
Because the origin of this painting has never been found, it has become a regret for his family.
Today, he suddenly heard that someone knew the origin of the painting, and he was very excited at this time.
"I know, it's okay not to mention some old memories."
Lin Yuan looked indifferent.
"Old sir, can you please come and have a cup of tea with us?"
The middle-aged man saw that Lin Yuan was unwilling to say anything and couldn't force it, so he could only think of this roundabout way.
Have more contact with the elderly, and maybe you can learn about the origin of this painting during the chat.
In fact, Lin Yuan is not a person who likes excitement too much.
But as the saying goes: "Don't hit the smiling person."
Since I invite you so warmly, I have to give you some face.
"good."
Lin Yuan and the others followed the middle-aged man to a nearby screen.
There is a tea ceremony set inside, and the tea stands behind the seats are filled with precious tea leaves that are hard to buy for money.
The middle-aged man took out a can of tea.
The moment you open the jar, a charming fragrance wafts out from the tea forest jar.
Anyone who understands will know at a glance that this tea forest is not ordinary.
The middle-aged man makes tea himself.
He poured a cup of tea for each of Lin Yuan and the other three.
"Old sir, please have some tea."
The middle-aged man said to Lin Yuan respectfully.
In fact, a normal person would not suddenly show such respect to an old man.
But middle-aged men are different. Being in the same environment all year round, people will have instinctive reactions to some things.
His identity is actually very unusual, and he has come into contact with many high-ranking people.
Some big shots look simple on the surface, no different from ordinary people.
But when these people meet on some important occasions, their sudden burst of majestic aura is simply unmatched by ordinary people.
When I came to the store today, I was going to attend the auction.
When I saw two beauties helping an old man come in, I just paid more attention out of curiosity.
I just saw Lin Yuan's majesty erupting in that moment when he saw the scroll.
He, who was very casual, suddenly felt suffocated.
That feeling is only felt by those who are truly superior.
That's why middle-aged men have great respect for Lin Yuan.
Moreover, Lin Yuan's state also looked calm and immortal.
It made him even more sure that Lin Yuan's identity was extraordinary.
"Um."
Lin Yuan was very indifferent to the middle-aged man's attitude.
"Sir, do you have anything you like in the store?"
"Just tell me, I will give it to you directly."
The middle-aged man said in a flattering manner.
This scene also surprised Chen Xiaoxiao and Lin Qingyan.
You must know that this antique store is not a simple antique store.
The boss just asked Mr. Lin Yuan to pick one directly and give it to him.
The items in this store are not cheap, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands or even millions.
Did the boss give it away just as he said it would?
How can they know the thoughts of middle-aged men.
Although these things seem expensive, they can be given to high-ranking people like Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan would be very satisfied if he could accept him.
"Old sir, I, Liu Qizhi of Wanbao Pavilion, can give me whatever you need from me in the future."
As he spoke, Liu Qizhi handed Lin Feng a golden business card with both hands.
Lin Yuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need it.
It's not that he looks down on Liu Qizhi, but Lin Yuan doesn't want to leave too many karma in this world.
Lin Qingyan and Chen Xiaoxiao, who were sitting aside, looked at this scene in shock.
Wanbao Pavilion is as wealthy as the Bai family in Jiangcheng.
Although Lin Qingyan is not someone who pays too much attention to this aspect, she has heard about Wanbao Pavilion for a long time.
In the jewelry and antique business, Wanbao Pavilion is a giant in this industry.
It accounts for almost half of the industry.
What shocked them was not Liu Qizhi's identity, but that Liu Qizhi, a man of such status, behaved so respectfully in front of Lin Yuan.
Liu Qizhi was not angry and quietly took back his business card.
"Old man, I know that your status is extraordinary."
"But I still want to know the origin of the scrolls in the store from you."
"This picture scroll was handed down from the boy's ancestors. The ancestors gave instructions back then."
"Even if the family dies, this painting cannot be damaged at all."
"One day a very noble person will come and take it away."
Liu Qizhi explained to Lin Yuan seriously and respectfully.
"Well, your ancestor is quite loyal and has not forgotten his instructions back then."
"You can ask someone to send you that sword as well."
Lin Yuan said calmly.
At this moment, only a "plop" was heard.
Liu Qizhi fell to his knees and said excitedly.
"The forty-eighth generation of the Liu family pays homage to the ancestor. This kid is too blind to recognize Mount Tai. Please punish me."
"Master Patriarch, wait a moment. I will go and get the treasure for you right away."
After saying this, Liu Qizhi stood up, bowed to Lin Yuan, and trotted out excitedly.
It happened in a split second.
Lin Qingyan and Chen Xiaoxiao, who were slowly tasting the tea just now, were confused again.
Lin Qingyan was a little better, after all, she got used to it after more experience.
Chen Xiaoxiao came into contact with Lin Yuan for the first time today, from the beginning to now.
The development of the plot is getting more and more beyond Chen Xiaoxiao's understanding.
That was the Liu family of Wanbao Pavilion. Judging from Liu Qizhi's status, he was also very prestigious in the Liu family.
But in front of Lin Yuan, he was like a servant's child, very respectful.
And very humble.
Lin Yuan was drinking tea calmly, as if an old god was here.
At this time, Liu Qizhi hurried out of the mall and made a phone call.
Amidst the sound of "beep, beep...", the other end of the phone was connected.
"Is it Master Qizhi?"
The housekeeper's old voice came over the phone.
