"Girl, did you pick up all these things?" Old Master Leng asked, but he didn't believe it in his heart. He felt that it was impossible for all of these things to be picked up, even if Gu Ning did have the ability to recognize objects.
Because many objects have been collected by the state or collected by collectors, there are very few genuine ones that can be seen. Even if Gu Ning has the ability to recognize the authenticity of objects, there will not be so many things for him to pick up!
Therefore, he felt that there was something wrong with the origin of these objects.
But even if there were questions, as long as he wasn't stealing or robbing, he didn't think it was a big deal. He just wanted to get an answer to feel at ease.
Mr. Leng has always been an upright person, so he doesn't want anyone in his family to do anything illegal.
However, some things are just stolen.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhongyu and Mr. Xu also looked at Gu Ning in confusion. Naturally, they had the same idea as Mr. Leng, but they just didn't want to ask more questions.
Gu Ning knew that these old men were not easy to fool, so he didn't say that they were all picked up. He should hide it when he should, but there was no need to hide it, so Gu Ning said so.
"Some were picked up, and some were stolen by some locals. Because I often go to the antique street, so I occasionally encounter them, so I accepted them. Most of them were when I went to Hong Kong City a few days ago to find people on a deserted island. , I found a cave, which was an ancient pirate stronghold, and there were many objects in it, so I took it back." Gu Ning said.
Hearing this, several old men did not doubt him. As long as they were not tomb robbers, they had no other ideas about these things.
But regarding Gu Ning's trip to Hong Kong City a few days ago, Mr. Leng suddenly remembered that Leng Shaoting also went to Hong Kong City a few days ago. Could it be that they went together
Thinking about it, Mr. Leng asked casually: "Did you go to Hong Kong City with Shao Ting a few days ago? Shao Ting also went to Hong Kong City a few days ago."
After asking, Mr. Leng felt that it was a bit impossible, because Shaoting was on a mission, and he shouldn't be with Gu Ning!
However, when Gu Ning heard Mr. Leng ask this question, he thought he knew something, so he said, "Yes! Because I had something to do in Hong Kong City, he was worried, so he accompanied me."
Hearing this, Mr. Leng was stunned: "That's not right! I saw a news saying that a woman named Tang Aining was gambling with He Hongyuan, the second master of the He family. I asked him if his mission to Hong Kong City was to protect this Tang Aining. , he said yes!”
Old man Leng understood. It was obvious that Leng Shaoting had deceived him.
Gu Ning was startled and felt a little uncomfortable on his face. He didn't expect that Mr. Leng had seen this news and Leng Shaoting was so perfunctory.
In this case, Gu Ning naturally had to settle the matter, and said: "Actually, Tang Aining is my friend. Because he had a deal with the He family, he went to bet with the He family and He Hongyuan. In this case, it is naturally dangerous. So I went there to protect her, and because Shao Ting was worried about me, I followed her and acted as Tang Aining's bodyguard."
In this way, Mr. Leng believed it.
Next, Jiang Zhongyu and Mr. Xu devoted themselves to the pile of antiques, but Mr. Leng was not very interested. He liked calligraphy and painting. This time he came mainly to see Gu Ning, so he took Gu Ning with him. Ning spoke.
However, now that Gu Ning and Mr. Leng recognized each other, it was time to give out the greeting gift, so he asked Mr. Leng to wait a moment and said that he would go get something.
Gu Ning went out for a while, and when he came back, he had a picture scroll in his hand.
"What is this?" When Mr. Leng saw the scroll, he knew it contained calligraphy and painting. His eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't wait to read it.
Because Mr. Leng had received the calligraphy and paintings given by Gu Ning, he knew that what Gu Ning had done must be of ordinary quality.
When Jiang Zhongyu and Mr. Xu saw this, they immediately came over. "This is a meeting gift for Grandpa Leng. I hope Grandpa Leng likes it." Gu Ning handed the calligraphy and painting to Old Master Leng without helping him open it. He asked him to open it himself. This makes sense.
"I like it, of course I like it." Before he could see what it was, Mr. Leng expressed his opinion happily, not to mention knowing that the things Gu Ning would buy would not be bad, even if they were ordinary things, as long as they were given by Gu Ning, He liked them all.
This is a gift given to him by his grandson-in-law!
Mr. Leng took it and opened the scroll.
However, if you don’t know this, you will be shocked when you look at it.
"This, this is actually Tang Yin's [Picture of Lotus by the Water]..." Mr. Leng was shocked and excited. Although it has not been verified whether this painting is true or false, he subconsciously believed that Gu Ning reason, so his first reaction was not to doubt.
"This, this is actually Tang Yin's [Picture of Hibiscus by the Water]..." Jiang Zhongyu and Mr. Xu were also shocked. They didn't expect that Gu Ning would have such a precious thing.
"Is this true?" Mr. Xu asked. He was not doubting Gu Ning. It was just that there were too many fakes nowadays. Even experts had to look at them. So he was afraid that Gu Ning would be wrong and Mr. Leng would be happy in vain. That’s all.
Although Mr. Leng believed in Gu Ning, he still needed verification, so he began to look at the paintings carefully.
Even if he is suspected, Gu Ning doesn't mind. After all, things like antiques still have to be verified before they can be determined to be true or false. It doesn't matter who says it is true or false.
After looking at it for a while, I was sure that it was genuine.
"It's true, it's true, hahahaha!" Mr. Leng was extremely happy. He also had many famous paintings, but Tang Yin didn't have any. Even if he did, of course they wouldn't be too few.
"My granddaughter-in-law, you are really amazing! You have gotten such good things." Mr. Leng praised.
"Hmph! It's good to have a granddaughter-in-law. It's so good to receive such a good gift. My brat will bring my granddaughter-in-law back to me no matter when. He also gives me a gift to make me happy." Mr. Xu said sourly. , extremely envious.
But the most important thing is not the gift, but the granddaughter-in-law.
"Old Xu! Don't worry, it will happen, it will happen." After hearing this, Mr. Leng comforted him, but he didn't feel the comfort, but he felt a strong sense of pride and schadenfreude.
"Huh! Of course there will be. My Zichen is not bad and he can find a good wife." Mr. Xu said unconvinced.
The reason why Mr. Xu always compares Xu Jingchen and Leng Shaoting instead of Xu Zilin, who already has a fiancée, is because Xu Jingchen and Leng Shaoting often go out together and have a closer relationship.
It is obvious that the two people are often together. Leng Shaoting has a girlfriend, and she is so outstanding, but Xu Jingchen does not have one yet, which has to make Mr. Xu depressed.
