Chapter 89 Old Friends
It's so fatal. I couldn't sleep in the early morning. I got up and updated. So, the weather is so dry here. Even the GD side is snowing. There is no snow here. Our place is in the North China Plain! There are a little snowflakes drifting in the winter. The weather is so dry that the virus is even more rampant. My throat is just right, and the toothache is keeping up again. I'm so unlucky...
Time was pushed forward, just as Yang Jing and his three men drove to Fuxin.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Yang Jing's grandfather's house welcomed two old men with gray hair and trembling behavior.
Yang Jing's aunt and mother obviously know these two old men who are no younger than their own.
"Uncle Yang, Uncle Wang, I'm so embarrassed to let you go here from a long distance." My aunt opened the door to greet the two old men, and greeted them very respectfully.
"Xiaozhen, you said this and was just slapping our brothers in the face. I haven't been able to come to see Brother Li for so long, and I feel a little uneasy." The person who spoke was a thin old man with big heads. The old man's name was Yang Tianmin. He was 92 years old this year, ten years older than his grandfather. He retired in the 1980s and served as the director of the Tianqu Museum before his retirement.
That's right, this old man was the director of the museum who identified the fake "Drunk Trees and Birds" for his grandfather back then.
As for another tall and fat old man, he was 80 years old, younger than Yang Jing's grandfather. This old man was named Wang Ketian. He was also a well-known antique expert in Tianqu City, especially proficient in calligraphy and painting. When his grandfather asked someone to identify the fake painting, the first person he looked for was Mr. Wang.
"Hello Uncle Wang, please come in quickly. My dad is waiting for you two." The aunt bowed to the old man Wang again and greeted the two of them in the room.
There was an Audi A6 parked outside the gate, but the driver did not get out of the car, but sat in the car and waved his hand at Yang Jing's aunt, signaling that he would not enter the house.
This Audi A6 is the son of Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang’s son is a famous private entrepreneur in Tianqu City. He now runs the largest private chemical enterprise in Tianqu City, with a net worth of hundreds of millions.
The two old men are friends Yang Jing’s grandfather met when he was playing with antiques, and he has been walking very well over the years. When Yang Jing’s grandfather had surgery, these two old men and some old friends in the circle came to visit his grandfather. Mr. Yang and Mr. Wang came many times.
Later, while my grandfather was recuperating at home, the two old men came to see her grandfather every once in a while.
The three old men met in the room, so naturally there was another greeting.
Grandpa can remember his friends before he was sick. These two old men were grandpa's friends for many years, so of course he could not forget these two.
But it is obvious that my grandfather forgot why he invited these two people over.
Grandpa thought these two old friends came to visit him and were still polite. "Oh, my brother Yang, brother Wang, why are you two running away? Just call me if you have anything. You don't have to worry about me. The children are all taking good care of me. I ate, slept, slept, and ate all day long, and I don't think about anything, so I can save my worries..."
The aunt on the side smiled helplessly and said to the two old men: "Uncle Yang, Uncle Wang, my father has forgotten that he had to invite you two. I'm sorry, you also know that my father's disease..."
Mr. Yang smiled and waved his hand and said, "Xiaozhen, don't worry, Lao Wang and I know what happened to your father's illness, so we won't mind. But what your father said on the phone yesterday is true?"
The aunt nodded and said, "It's true. Yesterday morning, my brother and my nephew pushed my dad to the Grand Canal Antique City to relax. As a result, my nephew spent 10,000 yuan to buy a Ming-engraved book, and then found five pages of different pages in it. My dad also read it yesterday, and suspected that it was a Song-Shu engraved book. But my dad was not sure, so he was always thinking about this matter. He said yesterday afternoon that he would ask your two elders to come and help him."
Because Yang Jing's grandfather liked antiques very much, and the family of Lao Li's family knew some knowledge and terms about antiques. Before his grandfather was sick, the family had friends from the antique industry. After they heard and witnessed them all year round, they were also smoked.
After my aunt said this, my grandfather immediately remembered the five pages of "Huajian Ji" and immediately became energetic.
"I said Brother Yang, Brother Wang, yesterday my grandson bought a book in the Antiques City, but there were five pages in it. I looked like it was Song Shu carved. Now you are here, just keep a look for me."
As he said that, grandpa turned his head and said to Yang Jing's mother: "Xiaoping, hurry up and take the book Yang Jing bought yesterday and let you Uncle Yang and Uncle Wang see it."
Yang's mother immediately turned around and walked to the old man's room, put on gloves and took out the book "Huajian Ji" that her son bought yesterday from the drawer.
Mr. Yang put on his gloves and took over the book "Huajian Ji", and his face immediately showed a look of pity.
"Tsk tsk, what a pity, this should be a printed copy, but the storage is too bad..."
Mr. Wang, who was beside him, also put on reading glasses and looked down, showing a look of regret.
The aunt pulled the chairs for the two old men and asked them to sit down. Then the two old men carefully looked at the book "Huajian Ji".
After turning two pages, the two old men looked at each other. Mr. Wang nodded with certainty and said, "Yes, this is a Ming-engraved book, and it should be a Ming-engraved book that reprints the Song-engraved book. Tsk tsk, if it is better preserved, just relying on this thin gold body, this book can be sold at least at a high price of 50,000 yuan."
Mr. Yang also nodded and said, "Old Li, this book is very good. I remember your grandson being Yang Jing? This young man is good!"
Grandpa nodded with a smile, and his old friend praised his grandson, which made him happier than picking up a vacancy.
The two old men stopped talking, but continued to flip down. However, almost like my grandfather was reading this book yesterday, when he turned to the sixth page, the two old men did not see any difference in this page.
But when they turned down a few pages and turned to the eleventh page, the two old men let out a light eh.
The two old men looked at each other again and nodded at the same time. Then Mr. Yang began to turn forward and turned to page six.
"Old Wang, these two pages are a little bit wrong!" Mr. Yang pushed the reading glasses and said to Mr. Wang.
"It's a little bit wrong. If I hadn't compared this page, I wouldn't have seen it."
Mr. Yang looked up and asked his grandfather, "Old Li, are you talking about these pages?"
Although my grandfather didn’t remember much after the operation, he could still remember some things clearly, such as yesterday’s book “Huajian Ji”.
Grandpa nodded and said, "In addition to these two pages, there are three pages behind. Here are here, here, and this page."
Seeing that my grandfather pointed out three more pictures from the remaining pages, the two old men immediately observed them again. After a long time, the two old men showed a look of surprise on their faces...
