Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Mr. Xu said: "Give this painting to the museum?"

Tang Lanxuan was also a little confused. He didn't expect Lin Ran to be so direct.

Lin Ran nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, I plan to donate this painting to the museum."

Tang Lanxuan's eyes flashed with surprise. He did not expect Lin Ran to be so generous.

After all, it was certainly not easy to get this painting.

Judging from the way Lin Ran was reluctant to take it out, it seemed that he originally planned to store it in his collection room for his own appreciation.

However, now he has even offered to donate it to the museum.

"Are you sure?" Wen Ya smiled, "It must have taken a lot of effort to get this painting."

This painting really took a lot of effort for Lin Ran.

Lin Ran smiled and said: "This painting is indeed of great significance, so I think it should be appreciated by more people."

Collect by yourself, you can only appreciate it alone.

The museum is a public space.

Taking it out will allow more people to see Wu Daozi's works, which is a good thing.

Tang Lanxuan was silent for a moment and finally nodded.

He understood what Lin Ran was thinking. This kind of precious work should indeed be seen by more people.

"Okay, thank you Lin Ran." Tang Lanxuan and Lin Ran put the painting away together and sent it to Tang Lanxuan.

This rubbing by Wu Daozi will return to the historical trajectory.

People on the side looked at each other, and then applauded Lin Ran.

Even Chang Zheng said with admiration: "Brother Lin is young. Not only is he talented, but his moral character is something Chang admires. I am determined to make you my friend!"

Only Jin Xi looked at Lin Ran coldly.

I felt that he was pretending to win the admiration of others.

"With such good marketing skills, no wonder he is called Mr. Lin. I really can't compare to him in this regard." Jin Xi sneered.

Zhou Xuelin also looked at it coldly. Maybe what Lin Ran brought here was an exhibit in the museum.

In the museum, not all exhibits are put on display, and some are only visible to insiders.

Today I took out the painting and beat the crowd, and now I backtracked and said it would be donated to the museum.

I have earned enough face.

Zhou Xuelin doesn't think anyone will donate his collection to a museum. Even if it is donated, he is often forced to do so.

Therefore, he was filled with contempt for Lin Ran and felt that he was just pretending.

Many of the collectors present thought the same thing, but some felt that Lin Ran's decision was a wise one.

Wu Daozi's paintings are inherently priceless treasures.

Keeping it in your own hands will attract the covetousness of people with good intentions.

At the same time, taking out calligraphy and paintings of this level will naturally attract the attention of relevant departments. They will definitely come to do ideological work at that time. When the time comes, a voluntary donation is better than donating it directly to the museum now, so as to gain a good reputation.

This scene looks completely different to different people.

After the scroll was put away, Chang Zheng said: "I announce that Lin Ran wins today. Does anyone have any opinions?"

"No comment."

"I agree with both hands."

"Support everyone Lin!"

The battle situation turned around in an instant. Originally, most people were leaning towards Jinxi.

Lin Ran smiled and said: "Thank you for your support, but the competition is over, it's time for us to get down to business."

Chang Zheng said: "Yes, Brother Lin has already shown everyone his skills. Don't be stingy next time, just take out the treasures and let everyone enjoy it."

Tang Lanxuan was already smiling from ear to ear, but he knew that he still had to stand up and explain himself in this situation.

"Don't get me wrong, this painting was donated to the museum by Lin Ran. I will accept it in the name of the museum. It will be on display in the main hall next month. You are welcome to visit then."

He is not taking the opportunity to promote the museum. The Palace Museum does not need to be famous at all. It is already the top in the country.

These words only tell others that donations respect personal wishes, and he will never embezzle calligraphy and paintings.

If he didn't stand up and explain, others might be embarrassed to take out the exhibits, thinking that they would be remembered by the museum people.

Lin Ran could only agree: "Teacher, you are right."

Chang Zheng smiled and said: "There is nothing to worry about, Boss Wen. If you don't mind, let me come first."

Seeing Chang Zheng being so generous, Wen Ya naturally wouldn't refuse.

Chang Zheng took out the collection he brought and placed it on the shelves.

It is a gilt-bronze Buddha statue in extremely good condition. Of course, it is not a cultural relic in the temple, but just a decoration in ordinary people's homes.

Lin Ran returned to his seat and began to participate in the tasting session.

Tang Lanxuan expressed his thanks again and said, "Lin Ran, I really didn't expect that you would be so generous."

"It should be." Lin Ran said, "China's cultural relics should be owned by all of China."

"That's good!" Tang Lanxuan looked very excited, "When the tasting is over, I'll buy you a drink."

Tang Lanxuan personally invited him to drink, which Lin Ran didn't expect.

The farce before the tasting meeting was finally over, and everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the previous competition again.

The tasting was going on as before, with Lin Ran watching silently.

Perhaps it was because the calligraphy and paintings that Lin Ran and Zhou Xuelin produced previously were too heavyweight, and subsequent works seemed a bit bland.

Although people in the venue will still be amazed, there are obviously fewer surprises.

When the tasting session was about to end, Lin Ran felt a little bored.

That's it for the tasting.

It's really not as valuable as what I saw in the homes of Liu Jingfeng and Zheng Xueming.

Until Wen Ya took action.

Zhou Xuelin and Jin Xi were obviously a little depressed because of the previous competition.

But after seeing Wen Ya start to move, her expression suddenly became much more solemn.

Lin Ran had been observing them from the side and always felt that they had a conspiracy.

Now he could see that they were here for Wen Ya's collection. He sat up straight and looked at Wen Ya.

Wen Ya stood up. As an organizer, she had a unique temperament.

He looked around and said with a smile: "This tasting is of great significance. It allows me to see so many rare treasures, which is really valuable."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Ran and nodded slightly.

The value of the treasures Lin Ran brought was obvious to all.

In fact, everyone present should have a good idea in their hearts, feeling that only the museum is the winner of this tasting.

Wen Ya was not in a hurry to show off her collection, but smiled and said: "Wen was also itching to see it. To be honest, some time ago, Wen brought back an antique from abroad and found it very interesting. So today I want to invite you all to taste it together.”

Did he come prepared?

Lin Ran didn't look at him as if he was being mysterious.
