Lin Daiyu in modern times

Lin Daiyu drank the hot water and finally calmed down. After calming down, she felt embarrassed because she came to Xu Fan crying.Xu Fan over there had already finished making the phone call. Seeing that Lin Daiyu was in a stable mood, he just covered his face and didn't look at him.Xu Fan approached and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head slightly.

Xu Fan pulled a stool, sat next to Lin Daiyu, and said softly to her: "I have explained the situation to you, Teacher Li, and asked for leave. Anyway, you will have the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday in three days, so just pass it After the Mid-Autumn Festival, if the matter is resolved, you can go back to Suzhou for class. How about it?"

Although Lin Daiyu is eager to learn, she also understands that this matter is serious.Moreover, Xu Fan is equivalent to her own parents to her, so she naturally listens to Xu Fan's arrangements.Then she looked up at Xu Fan and said, "I'll listen to you." Then she added, "I'm causing you trouble."

Xu Fan was a little dumbfounded at the moment: "If this is called trouble, I don't even know what is trouble. Daiyu, you are already very good. If you encounter similar things in the future, you should tell me as soon as possible. Only if you procrastinate will you It's trouble." He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed her head, "By the way, are you still used to the capital? Tell me if there is anything inconsiderate at home."

"Where can it be inconsiderate?" Lin Daiyu stretched out her left hand, only gave Xu Fan a look, then took it back, and said, "It's just that I received a big gift from Auntie as soon as I came, and I feel really sorry."

When he was in the hospital just now, Xu Fan noticed it.Mother likes Daiyu, so Xu Fan is naturally happy.His voice became softer: "This pair of jade bracelets was left by my grandma to my mother. She has always been very precious. Since I gave it to you, it means that she really likes you and treats you as our Xu family. This in itself The meaning of it is far beyond the value, so you don't have to feel sorry, keeping it well is the greatest repayment to my mother."

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she immediately felt ups and downs in her heart, but Xu Fan also said: "My mother only has one son, and there is no daughter who asked her to give this pair of jade bracelets. You are our family now, and this bracelet is for you. It couldn't be more suitable."

Hearing what Xu Fan said, how could Lin Daiyu refute?He asked again: "Xu Fan, I'm a little worried. What if I don't go to school for a few days and can't keep up?"

Xu Fan was happy, and said: "This is simple, I happen to have nothing to do these two days, I will teach you."

Lin Daiyu asked in surprise, "You know all of them?"

"Huh?" Xu Fan raised his eyebrows, and moved his face closer to Lin Daiyu, "You'll know if you try it?"

Xu Fan's face was close at hand, her breath fell on her face, those eyes, pupils were pitch-black, bottomless, Lin Daiyu blushed, and quickly pushed him away.The eyes are full of eyes, but they are all those eyes, so beautiful.It is always aggressive, making people want to hide away.

At this time, the nanny knocked on the door outside the study and said, "Master, Mr. Jiang is here. Mr. and Mrs. asked me to ask you to go to the lobby with Miss Lin to meet Mr. Jiang."

"Okay, I see. We'll go right away."

After dismissing the nanny, Xu Fan held his forehead and said to himself, "Why is this old man back again?"

Lin Daiyu glanced at him in surprise, in the impression that Xu Fan always looked as gentle as jade.She had never seen him show impatience with anyone.It's funny to see how troubled he is now.When Xu Fan saw Lin Daiyu's appearance, he knew that she was teasing him, and he also wondered that he would always inadvertently reveal himself in front of her.He stretched out his hand to scratch her nose, and said, "Come on, come with me to meet Mr. Jiang. Don't talk to this old man for a while, or you will have to chat with him all day today."

Lin Daiyu was curious about who this old man Jiang was. When she arrived in the hall downstairs, before she saw anyone, she heard a voice: "Zhuo Zhuo, it's fine if your wife doesn't listen to my old man, but she doesn't listen to you either!"

When he got closer, he saw an old man wearing a floral shirt, tight-fitting jeans, gray hair, and a small gray beard braided into a small braid on his chin, holding a vase in his hand and talking in a babble.Xu Fan and Lin Daiyu greeted him first. The old man ignored Xu Fan at first, but when he heard Lin Daiyu's voice, he turned his head stiffly. When he saw Lin Daiyu, he quickly and carefully put the vase on the floor. Inside the soft silk box, then quickly ran to Lin Daiyu.

"I've seen this sister before!"

Lin Daiyu startled the old man, and quickly hid behind Xu Fan.

While protecting Lin Daiyu, Xu Fan said to the old man, "Mr. Jiang, you scared the little girl."

"Beautiful! Beautiful as a fairy! A person is as good as his name!" Mr. Jiang was full of praise.

"Old man." Xu Fan called him gloomyly, and sure enough, old man Jiang came back to his senses.He looked up at Xu Fan.Mr. Jiang has been trendy all his life, and has always been at the forefront of what he thinks is fashion, but it is a pity that his height is also a pain in Mr. Jiang's life.As a northern man with only 1.7 meters in shoes, Mr. Jiang doesn't like tall and handsome young people like Xu Fan very much. Of course, he almost watched Xu Fan grow up. From the little boy to this tall handsome guy with a smiling face like a tiger, Mr. Jiang often misses the innocent and beautiful childhood in his heart, and reminds himself from time to time to avoid this brat when he comes to Xu's house.

"Hahaha, Fan boy has a good eye! Did you look for him with a lantern?" After winking at Xu Fan for a while, Mr. Jiang knew that he couldn't bully the pretty little girl behind him.Wearily went back.

Xu Fan also took Lin Daiyu, who automatically ignored what Mr. Jiang said, to the living room.First he greeted Xu's parents, and then Mr. Jiang returned to the subject and said, "Axian, please help me find out whether this beauty goblet is from Ding Kiln or Peng Kiln."

Lin Daiyu looked into the box, but saw it was a beauty goblet with snow-white flowers blooming and twining branches with chrysanthemum patterns.With just this one glance, Daiyu was startled.Because this beauty goblet was originally a pair, and it was one of the dowry gifts of her mother Jia Min back then.It's just that her father died later, and she was young, so all the affairs of her father's death were handed over to Jia Lian.Not to mention the beauty goblet, Lin Daiyu has never seen the rest of the mother's dowry, the dowry left by the Lin family's mistresses, and various furniture.I didn't expect to be able to meet one of my mother's dowry at the Xu family now through Mr. Jiang's hand!

"Old man, you are too anxious. The Peng kiln in the Jin Dynasty was originally an imitation of the Ding kiln. It is difficult to distinguish between the two. You need to give me some time. Moreover, if this is the porcelain of the Peng kiln, I can't reverse it for you. Right and wrong, it is hard to say that it is porcelain from Ding kiln."

"Oh, Ah Xian, my old man bets with someone, and I'm willing to admit defeat. It's no problem to pay the money, but this time it's different, the other party is that old boy from the Wei family!" Mr. Jiang said through gritted teeth, "Young man! This old man was my rival in love back then, and I must not lose to him this time! If you don’t help me, Ah Xian, and wait for that old boy to invite someone to appraise him, he will definitely do anything to win me! In that case, Ah Xian, your Uncle Jiang can only, err... Zhuozhuo, quickly ask your wife to help me."

Xu Fan, who finally knew the cause and effect, was a little helpless.

Although these two old men dislike each other in various ways, they are both lovers of antiques, so they can always get together.Presumably this time, the two old men were arguing again over which porcelain kiln produced this beauty goblet.Before, Mr. Jiang took a Goryeo celadon imitated from Ding Kiln for Mrs. Xu to appraise. Of course, there was relatively more time at that time.

"Old man, why don't I ask Xiao Fan to talk to Old Man Wei and ask him to give him more time?"

"Then he knew that I came to beg you, and then you went to beg him?"

Xu Fan understood the reason why his parents asked him to come too.It's because he has a good relationship with Wei Xu, the young master of the Wei family.

"This beauty goblet is porcelain from the Ding kiln in the Song Dynasty." Lin Daiyu said softly when she saw them in a dilemma, "Although there are five small nail holes in the beauty goblet, it looks like the marks left by the superimposed firing of the nails commonly used in the Peng kiln. , but Ding kiln is not unused. The printing process of Ding kiln was not mature in the early days, and this beauty goblet was a product at that time, so the pattern on it was not like the mature and perfect Ding kiln printing. This beauty goblet was handed down to the world after several wars. There is still a pair in the Ming Dynasty, and you may be able to find relevant records in the literature. Of course, although it is absolutely certain that it was produced by Ding Kiln, it will take time to produce evidence, just like what my uncle and aunt said.”

Mrs. Xu was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect Daiyu to know about antique porcelain at such a young age.And what she said was what she thought, and what she said to Mr. Jiang in the morning.

Mr. Jiang was dejected, and said, "This little girl is not Xu Fan's girlfriend, but your apprentice? You two are really alike."

Lin Daiyu blushed so badly that she stopped talking to Mr. Jiang.

Over there, Xu's father comforted Mr. Jiang again.

After the old man left, Xu Fan pulled Lin Daiyu over and whispered, "You didn't look at that beauty cup, how did you know there was a small nail hole in it?"

Lin Daiyu told Xu Fan the origin of the beauty goblet.

After Xu Fan heard this, he turned around and called Mr. Jiang: "Mr. Jiang, I can get the certificate for you, but I have one condition."

"What conditions, you say! As long as I win against that old boy of the Wei family, let alone one condition, I will agree to ten!"
