Jianbao Lingyan

Chapter 53 Lu Xinyuan

Mr. Chen lives in a well-cared-for courtyard with folk customs, and most of the people living around him are old Kyoto people.

It is said that some middle-class officials stranded in Kyoto used to live here.

For this kind of place, Xu You has an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Xu You knows that this is because he has often come here in his dreams.

Xu Wei's great-grandfather, before the age of ten, would come here with his mother every year to visit his grandfather's family.

Especially after entering Mr. Chen's house, the sense of familiarity became even clearer.

Mr. Chen's house should have been artificially separated from the people next to it, and it should have existed as an inner courtyard in the past.

This should be the place where Xu You's great-grandmother lived when she was young, and she would occasionally bring her husband and children back here for a short stay after she got married.

Xu You felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart since he entered the door. It was interesting to think about the place where his ancestors lived.

"Xiao Xu is here, come in and sit down, why did you bring something, don't do this next time." Mr. Chen is a very kind old man, and he is very happy to see Xu Er.

"Wait a minute, it's been half a year, you kid, you're so calm, you really didn't come until I came back." Xu Wei put the things he brought aside a little embarrassedly, and gave the gift. It was the first time he did this kind of thing, and it was somewhat indelible.

"I wanted to come a long time ago. It was my uncle who said that I would wait until you came back. Actually, I was in a hurry. I felt like a cat scratching my head. When I heard that you were back two days ago, I immediately booked a plane ticket. This is coming." Mr. Chen laughed happily when he heard this, "You are so sincere, no wonder Mr. Zhang has been hiding you. He must be afraid that we will rob you." To someone like Mr. Chen , I have experienced a lot in my life, so I naturally like relatively simple people, and Xu You, who is honest and kind, with a honest and polite personality, is naturally liked by these old people.

Hearing what Chen Lao said, Xu You scratched his head in embarrassment, not understanding what joke he said, but he still laughed along with him.

"Although you are in a hurry, you have to wait for a while. The area around my house is not peaceful recently, so I put all my valuables and other things in other places. Your seal stone, you have to wait a while." Chen Lao said Let Xu Wei wait, and at the same time let the nanny who took care of him sit down for the meal.

"The person who sent the things was a junior of mine. You are about the same age, so you can keep in touch in the future." It can be seen that Mr. Chen really likes Xu Wei, and even wants to introduce Xu Wei to friends.

Naturally, Xu Wei would not refuse, and followed Mr. Chen to watch some seal templates collected by Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen has a notebook, which is full of seals that Mr. Chen has encountered.All the seals are arranged according to age, genre, and affiliation. Xu You said that just by looking at this book, he can gain a lot of knowledge.

Especially on this book, which is only four or fifty years old at most, there is already a faint, beige faint halo.

In Xu Wei's view, this is the name rectification that has become a treasure.

This was the first time Xu You saw a treasure taking shape in front of him.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, there are other people here. It seems that I came here at a bad time?" Just as Xu Er and Mr. Chen were chatting happily, a slightly oily male voice interrupted.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, what are you talking about, add me?" The man looks about 27 or [-] years old. Although he is wearing a suit, he is very active. It seems that he is very playful.

The man looks very distinctive, the whole face is very good-looking, coupled with a pair of upturned peach blossom eyes, it is very lethal to women.

"Xiao Tang, this is Xiao Xu. He came from Shanghai. You guys want to be young when you are young. We will chat together later." Seeing him, Mr. Chen was very happy to introduce Xu Er.

"Xiao Xu, this is Xiao Tang. He is now helping his family open an auction house. If you need anything in the future, you can find him. Xiao Tang is a nice guy. He is a good boy, but he likes to play a little bit." "Old Chen, you Is this a compliment to me? In front of my new friend, you have to save me face. I brought this year’s new tea to bribe you.” Xiao Tang, that is, a good-looking peach blossom boy, with a hippie smile He rushed in, saw the seal book on the table, and gave Xu You a very surprised look.

As far as he knew, this book was Lao Chen's treasure, and he would hardly show it to others. What he could see, at least he had made some achievements in the antique circle.

"I'm Tang Qingyan, the general manager of Tang Dynasty International Auction Chain Company. If you don't mind, just add me as a third brother." Tang Qingyan extended his hand to Xu You friendly, and became curious about Xu You in his heart. It can be affirmed by Chen Lao, there must be something special in itself.

"Hello, my name is Xu You. I'm from Magic City. Uh, I don't have a job." Xu You stretched out his hand in embarrassment and held the other party. When he finished talking, he smiled a little embarrassedly.

"It's good to be a vagrant, but ordinary people can't do it." Tang Qingyan raised his eyebrows, thinking that the other party was quite interesting.

Mr. Chen is the most old-fashioned person, and if he can fall in love with a "vagrant" like Xu Er, first of all, this vagrant is different from the usual sense.

"Xiao Xu is just modest. I heard from Lao Zhang that you passed your teacher's postgraduate exam. Did you get your grades?" Old Chen was also amused when he heard Xu Er's self-introduction.

"The grades haven't come out yet, but the teacher keeps saying that there is no problem." Recently, Xu You has often called Mr. Guo who is far away in a foreign country. Knowing that his grades are ranked second, Mr. Guo, who has been hanging on his heart, heaves a sigh of relief. , and still in the mood to joke, saying that he always thought that Xu Er would be the first in the exam.After all, although Xu You's math grades were really bad, there were no problems with other grades at all.

"Then there's no problem. I know Lao Guo. The most important thing is to save face. If he says there's no problem, then he can't be wrong." Old Chen comforted him with a smile.

"It turned out that I was taking a postgraduate entrance examination. Let me tell you, which school is it? My brother, I have acquaintances in various colleges and universities. I will introduce you to a sweet girl." Tang Qingyan was embarrassed when he saw Xu Er because of his own words. I blushed, and couldn't help feeling in my heart, who's kid is so fun.

After talking a few gossips, they all focused on Old Chen's seal book.

Mr. Chen has been a university teacher all his life, and what he likes most is teaching and educating people. In addition, there are two students who are really interested in gold, stone and antiques.

It wasn't until noon that the nanny urged a few people to eat, and then they broke away from the enthusiastic atmosphere.

It wasn't until Old Chen saw a plate of water spinach on the table that he remembered that there was still a big thing to do today.

"Oh, Xiaotang, I beg you to take the things you brought over, have you taken them?" Shall I see it?" Tang Qingyan slapped his forehead, remembering what he was doing here, and said quickly.

"That's good. Let's see later, Xiao Xu, can you wait?" Elder Chen turned to ask Xu Wei.

Xu You didn't eat much in the morning because he was nervous, and now he was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back cavity. If there is anyone who disagrees, he nodded quickly to express that he has no opinion.

This lunch was eaten very quickly. Mr. Chen wanted Xu You to see something earlier, Tang Qingyan was simply curious about things, and Xu You was eager to eat because he was too hungry.

After the meal, Tang Qingyan took out a portable cloth bag embroidered with exquisite landscape paintings, put it on the table respectfully, and pushed it in front of Chen Lao.

Old Chen took the cloth bag and opened it, and two top Tian Huangshi seal stones appeared in front of everyone.

Lu Xinyuan, the owner of the Rangli Pavilion, was a well-known master and collector of gold and stone in the late Qing Dynasty.

During his lifetime, he established three library buildings, one is the Song Dynasty Building: the Song Dynasty refers to the meaning of two hundred kinds of Song editions, the other is the Hundred Thousand Juan Building, which stores the secret engravings of Ming and Qing Dynasties and the exquisite fine collation, and the third is the Shouxian Pavilion: the collection of ordinary books.

Among them, the most commendable thing is that Lu Xinyuan's library allows others to borrow it.This is impossible for other ancient collectors, and it is a historical precedent.

Xu Wei's rectangular seal stone is the seal of Lu Xinyuan's Rangli Pavilion owner. It is said that this seal was lost during the Anti-Japanese War.

And Lu Xinyuan's library also disappeared in the flames of war. It contained 4 books, 20 volumes and 4 volumes. It was also sold by Lu Xinyuan's son for 4 because of business failure. Japan’s Benjing Jiatang Bunko said, “It’s not as good as the torch of Taicheng and the embers of Jiangyun, and the soul still stays in the homeland.” This was the indignation of the literati at that time after hearing about this incident.

It is enough to see that this has had a huge impact on the inheritance and destruction of Chinese history.

After the founding of the country, Lu Xinyuan's son donated the remaining 1 books and 1 books in the family to the Haidao Library.

The owner of Rangli House is one of Lu Xinyuan's collection of appreciative seals, and Lu Xinyuan himself is the object of Chen Lao's admiration, so when seeing this seal, no one can understand Chen Lao's excitement.

This is also the reason why Mr. Chen dragged on for so long and avoided seeing Xu You.

On the one hand, he hopes to see the seal often, but on the other hand, Mr. Chen's strict moral restraint tells him not to covet children's things.

"This old Mr. Lu Xinyuan Road, if Quanxia knows, he will definitely be pissed off by his prodigal son. It's not good to sell to anyone, but to sell to the Japanese. Anyone else is better than this choice." Tang Qingyan heard Lu The old man said that now all these books are collected in Japan, and he feels extremely unhappy.

"Well, at that time, if he was not in Japan but stayed in his own country, he might have disappeared in the flames of war because of the war." Mr. Chen is also very sorry, but this is a dilemma, "Maybe, This is also the reason why Mr. Lu chose to sell the books to Japan at that time. It is better to be in a foreign country than to be burned." Later, Mr. Chen thought of something and added quietly.

Xue Que's original innocent temperament was also affected by the heavy atmosphere between the two, and he felt a little stuffy and uncomfortable.

"One day, these books will come back." Tang Qingyan patted his knees and said something to ease the atmosphere.

"Be ambitious, we old guys can't do it anymore, it depends on you young people." Old Chen broke away from the atmosphere just now, and encouraged with a smile.
