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

As agreed, Ma Zhen told Lin Ran everything about him and Zhu Yawen.

When they finished speaking, they also came downstairs of the hotel.

"I'm willing to admit defeat." Ma Zhen said with a hint of pity, "It seems that I am your opponent if you are a treasure appraiser, but I have not promised to give up the secret skills of treasure appraiser."

Lin Ran couldn't help but become alert and looked at Ma Zhen.

He smiled and said, "Let's compete again next time, but in a different way."

Lin Ran smiled back when he heard that he wasn't trying to steal his book.

"Always ready for a challenge."

"Farewell." Ma Zhen closed the car window and drove away.

Lin Ran called Chen Qi immediately when he returned to the hotel and told him not to continue tracing the whereabouts of the thief. He had already recovered the pass.

Chen Qi felt that it was better to do less than to do more. He was eager to quit and hastily agreed.

But Lin Ran asked him to come to his hotel tomorrow afternoon to talk to him about sponsorship.

The funds requested by the museum are huge, and the Chen family is not a philanthropist, so there is no way they can agree to donate funds.

However, Lin Ran had his own ideas.

In the Internet age, there is a business model called cross-industry cooperation, which is actually perfect for linking museums with auction houses and antique shops.

I just need to summarize my thoughts. I have work again in the evening.

Sitting at the desk, Lin Ran recalled the secrets Ma Zhen told him.

Contrary to what Yan Hong told him, it was Zhu Yawen who forced the four senior brothers away because he wanted to find out the secret inside.

And these secrets are actually in the Qilin Association, and they are not at all in the "Secret Technique of Treasure Appraisal" as he said.

And he is not a senior brother. The third paper he studied means that he is actually the third child.

But when Lin Ran asked him why he knew the internal affairs of the Qilin Association, Ma Zhen did not answer.

"I will tell you when the time is right. You should finish studying the contents of the third volume first." Ma Zhen's words emerged in his mind.

What a weirdo.

However, he did have some doubts about Zhu Yawen.

But he didn't think too much about this matter. Anyway, he and Zhu Yawen only maintained a superficial master-disciple relationship.

He will decide on specific matters next time he comes to Hong Kong City. He has other things to do in the remaining five days.

Early the next morning, Wu Qingniu came with tools to repair it.

After hearing what Lin Ran said about yesterday's competition, he smiled and said, "Mr. Chen's eyesight is really getting better and better."

"It's okay. I didn't expect to find a national treasure on the antique street." Lin Ran also had a crush on Wu Qingniu, but he didn't hide it.

"I wonder when Mr. Chen plans to return to the mainland?"

"How is your grandson's condition?" Lin Ran asked.

"It's okay, he should be cured soon." Wu Qingniu's face was red.

"Okay, I see that your life in Hong Kong City is not very good. Do you want to consider coming to the mainland for development?" Lin Ran tried to offer an olive branch.

He is very optimistic about Wu Qingniu's repair technology.

The cultural relics excavated from the ancient tombs were severely corroded due to poor preservation conditions.

It will take a long time to restore it when it is taken back to the museum and then put on display.

It would be a blessing for the museum to cooperate with Wu Qingniu.

On the other hand, he also needs Wu Qingniu's understanding of ancient materials.

With his materials and the skills of Wei Chengbin, Zhang Qiang and others, the possibility of replacing cultural relics abroad is even greater.

I thought he would refuse, but I didn't expect him to agree immediately.

"I have said before that as long as you can cure my grandson, I am willing to do whatever it takes for you."

"Really?" Lin Ran stood up and held his hand excitedly, "I will definitely arrange a stable job for you in the mainland!"

"No, I naturally have my own source of income, so I won't bother you, sir, to make arrangements for me." Wu Qingniu said, "But I usually like a quiet life. If you need me, just ask me for help."

Talented people tend to be lonely, and Lin Ran can understand that.

The fact that the other party is willing to go to the mainland with him is already a sign of respect.

"That's natural. If Mr. Wu needs my help, just ask him."

Wu Qingniu really needed his help with something.

Said: "Since Mr. Chen mentioned it, I do have a merciless request."

"Sir, please speak."

"My grandson was amazed when he saw your husband's medical skills. I hope he can accept him as his disciple." Wu Qingniu looked at Lin Ran sincerely.

But Lin Ran immediately shook his head.

"If you want to learn treasure appraisal from me, I can agree, but if you want to learn medicine, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

When Wu Qingniu heard Lin Ran's flat refusal, he immediately stopped his work and asked anxiously: "Why? With your medical skills, Mr. Chen, if you open a medical clinic in Hong Kong City, the threshold will be broken."

Naturally, Lin Ran would not mention the content in the health book, but shook his head and said: "What I learned are all ancient medical techniques, which are far from modern medical techniques. Many of the formulas in the reagents have also been lost. I want to learn from me and become a doctor." It’s so difficult to become a qualified doctor.”

It's just a joke. He himself only has a partial understanding of the content in the book, so how can he teach others.

Seeing Lin Ran's embarrassed look, Wu Qingniu had his own guess.

He can treat difficult and complicated diseases, and he must have learned from the master hermit.

The other party will definitely not allow arbitrary disciples.

But he did not give up, but said: "It doesn't matter, then I will move to the capital with my grandson and let him study Chinese medicine in the capital. Maybe he can assist my husband by then."

Lin Ran thought about it and realized that the other party's age was indeed suitable for learning medical skills.

Wu Qingniu has an upright personality, so his grandson must not be a cunning person.

In the future, he will study the formulas in the health regimen. Even if it is not used to treat diseases, it would be good to make health care products and let his grandson be the platform person.

"Okay, I will help you contact a famous doctor." Lin Ran nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" As he said that, Wu Qingniu wanted to kneel down again, but luckily Lin Ran's quick eyesight and quick hands stopped him.

"Master Wu, how should we repair it next?" Lin Ran quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, I already had the filler done yesterday, and today I'm going to do the full color."

The so-called full color is to check whether the alum of the paper is appropriate after repairing the paper.

After all, it is not original paper. If the alum content is relatively low, the repaired calligraphy and painting will appear transparent.

If the vitriol is relatively heavy, comb ratio will also occur.

Full color means to check the overall color of the painting after replenishing the paper to make it consistent with the calligraphy and painting.

But until this step, Lin Ran knew it was no big deal.

The four-step restoration of calligraphy and painting generally refers to: decontamination, removal of old paint, repair, and full color.

What really made him curious was that in addition to the common four steps, Wu Qingniu mentioned "reappearance".
