The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 32 True and False
The daughter doesn't listen to her mother.

The dexterous fingers turned the bottle over for a while, and then there was a crisp sound, which made Mrs. Lin feel impatient.

Lin Mi always likes to find out about rare things. Since his mother said that it was obtained at a high price, he wants to find out whether it is worth the money.

Mrs. Lin saw that her daughter was playing more and more vigorously, so she couldn't help but started talking again:
"Put it down, put it down, I'm really worried about you holding it like this!"

Lin Mi was in the rebellious period of youth, pouted unhappily, and put the vase back to its original place with a bang.

Unexpectedly, it was not placed properly, and this delicate thing shook uncontrollably like a mischievous elf.

First, it rolls left and right alternately, and under the action of the earth's gravity, it falls in a vertical direction, and it is about to fall on the marble floor.

Zhang Xiaofa nimbly took two steps, grabbed the bottom of the bottle in a thrilling moment when it was less than five millimeters from the floor, and put the bottle firmly in a seemingly chic posture.

A layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he saved himself from danger.

Good work!Lin Mi next to him applauded.

"Hey, I just went in and changed my clothes, and the living room will be so lively soon." Mr. Lin walked over with great interest, "I want to hear what fun you have."

"Father, Mr. Zhang was able to catch my unsteady vase."

Lin Mi looked at the boy with admiration.

"Are you talking about this blue and white porcelain? How can you move it around!"

Mr. Lin went to the vase to check whether there were any injuries in person.

"How much ocean did it cost?"

She heard her father say that it was so important, and couldn't help but wonder about its price.

"Dayang? Your father spent fifty gold bars and almost couldn't buy them."

Seeing that her daughter was ignorant of the goods, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but reveal the transaction price.

"Fifty gold bars!"

The girl looked at the vase again in disbelief.

It is absurd to pay a lot of money for a bottle.

She couldn't help shaking her head and sighing:

"It's too dark, so much money can spend a lifetime."

"Mimi, you don't understand. This is a cultural relic from the Forbidden City. It belongs to a series of blue and white porcelain collected by Emperor Yongzheng during his lifetime."

The daughter blames herself for spending a lot of money on antiques.As a father, explain to her patiently.

Zhang Xiaofa listened silently.

The age and information of the blue and white porcelain inferred just now are consistent with what Mr. Lin said just now.

According to his knowledge of the cultural relics of the Forbidden City, Emperor Yongzheng really liked the small and fresh style of porcelain.

However, in the generation of Emperor Qianlong, the taste of porcelain in the court took a sharp turn, degenerating into a tacky and gorgeous painting style.

Therefore, the existence of this kind of court blue and white porcelain is a veritable flash in the pan.

What is puzzling is how the rare blue and white porcelain of Emperor Yongzheng can easily flow into the folk antique circle and be sold for fifty gold bars?

Suddenly remembered something during school.

Once, I went to the National Museum with my tutor to see the special exhibition of the treasures of the Forbidden City.

The curator specially introduced this set of small and fresh porcelain made by Emperor Yongzheng, saying that the ones on display were imitations, and the real ones had been plundered by the Eight-Power Allied Forces who broke into the Forbidden City.

That being the case, from what channel did Mr. Lin buy this vase?Is what he got a fake?
Secondly, there are also doubts about the economic strength of the Lin family.

During the period of the Republic of China, one silver dollar could support the expenditure of five people in an ordinary family for one month, and gold bars were also extremely precious to the upper class.

Judging from reading some official salary materials during the Republic of China, no matter how high the normal income of the Lin family was, they would not be so rich that they would exchange fifty gold bars for a vase.

Although Lin Mi's father saved his life and has such a lovely, kind and angelic daughter, in the young man's heart, he has silently drawn a clear line between himself and the other party.

Lin Mi stood thoughtfully for a while, then picked up the ridiculously priced vase again, finding it even more annoying.

Although she has not yet realized the complicated power and money transactions in the officialdom, the relatively advanced educational philosophy of girls' schools has nourished the correct three views in her heart.

It's time for my father to rein in the precipice, otherwise, my father will blindly indulge in the so-called elegance of buying antiques with a lot of money.

Mr. Lin saw that the vase in his daughter's hand slipped intentionally or unintentionally, and was about to fall to the ground again.

This time, Zhang Xiaofa watched calmly, did not help, and let it go.

The bottle fell to the ground with a crisp sound, but it was miraculously safe and sound.

From this, he has the confidence to judge that the bottle bought by Mr. Lin is probably a counterfeit, because the real blue and white is very fragile and fell into a pile of pieces on the hard marble floor.

Seeing that her daughter was behaving abnormally, Mrs. Lin was about to blame her, but was persuaded by Mr. Lin:
"The vase didn't break, which means something is wrong. The small Song Dynasty porcelain bowl I bought before, just accidentally touched the corner of the table, and it broke into small pieces. I will call my friend later to ask."

After speaking, he turned and went into the study.

Who is this friend on the phone?

Zhang Xiaofa thought of what Zhu Juanjuan had revealed to him about the Gu family's illegal tomb robbery and cultural relics trading, and the doubts in his mind increased again.

Could it be... calling Mr. Gu?
In this life, they are father and son. Although he resists this misbehaving father from the bottom of his heart, it is difficult to erase the desire to meet him.

At this time, Mr. Gu was anxiously urging the driver to hurry.

On a rare and fine autumn morning, the head of the family was drinking tea and reading newspapers in his room, having a leisurely stroll and enjoying himself.

Suddenly, there was a rush of phone ringing.

He didn't care at first, and he dragged on for more than ten minutes, until he was disturbed by the ringing, and then reluctantly raised the phone.

"Hey--"

Hearing the hasty report from the person on the other side of the phone, his expression began to change slowly.

The hand holding the receiver also trembled violently.

The phone call that broke Mr. Gu's good mood on the weekend was actually made by Chief Qin of the police station himself!

According to the phone call, Sergeant Liu led his team to catch a suspect in Houhaihai in the morning.

Many onlookers at the scene testified that Ms. Zhu tried to escape by jumping into the lake after getting out of her car crying.Currently in hospital, not out of danger;
This person had a bad attitude, pleaded not guilty, violently resisted arrest, and publicly resisted the law;
The car was found to be owned by Gu's mansion, so I called to check with Mr. Gu to find out whether he was charged with car theft.

In addition, this incident attracted a large group of reporters, and related news will be published in the newspapers tomorrow...

"Bah!" Mr. Gu slammed the teacup in his hand, called the driver, and wanted to find out what happened.

In addition to the carriage, there are two cars in the family.

One is his official car, and the other is his family's daily car.

After breakfast, the third wife took the twin daughters to the countryside for an autumn outing.

Qi Ming and the eldest wife also went, both in a carriage.

Only Qijiang went out early in the morning, came back to pick up his things, and drove away, saying that he was lent to a friend for fun.

Qijiang was the one his father had given him the most high hopes since he was a child.

He has been well-behaved since he was a child, and he is eager to learn and make progress. How could he be suspected of committing a crime as soon as he returned to China?

With the personality of the second young master, the father would never believe that his son would do such ignorant things.
