Collection of Gods

Chapter 16 The Eternal Master

"Dong dong dong..."

Tang Yuan stood outside the Chinese-style gate of the courtyard. After lightly knocking on the door knocker a few times, he stood with his hands behind his back and stopped making any movement.

About half a minute later, footsteps came closer and closer, and the Chinese-style door was slowly opened.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Tang?"

The woman who came to open the door was about 30 years old. She was wearing a decent Chinese cheongsam with her hair tied up high. Although her appearance was only average, the classical and gentle temperament exuded from her whole body made her look even better.

"I'm Tang Yuan. I made an appointment with Mr. Sun in advance."

Facing the woman who came to open the door, Tang Yuan nodded slightly and responded softly.

"Mr. Tang, please come in..."

After confirming her identity, the woman immediately stepped aside and welcomed Tang Yuan and Wen Muxue in.

In the courtyard, a huge ginkgo tree was planted. It is the early autumn of September. The golden ginkgo leaves add a bit of poetry to the entire courtyard. Around the ginkgo tree, the owner of the courtyard also planted many flowers and plants, which look lush and lush. Very pleasing to the eye.

Wen Muxue, who came to this kind of place for the first time, looked at the layout and scenery in the courtyard and was secretly amazed. In a place like Zhonghai, where land is at a premium, even if you have an independent courtyard in the city, you can still have leisure and elegance. Planting trees is a bit too extravagant.

Compared to Wen Muxue, Tang Yuan was much calmer. He followed the cheongsam woman and quickly walked into the attic in the center of the courtyard.

"Grandpa, Mr. Tang is here."

After the cheongsam woman introduced Tang Yuan into the house, she informed the old man sitting on the Taishi chair not far away.

"Nanny, show the guests some tea." The old man on the chair stood up slowly, said to the cheongsam woman, and then walked over to Tang Yuan: "I didn't expect Mr. Tang to be so interested in collecting seals at such a young age. Interest, this is really something I didn’t expect.”

"I have been interested in antiques and antiques since I was a child. I used to live in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I liked to go to antiques and antiques stores frequently. Now that I have come to Zhonghai to go to school, I just want to wander around when I have nothing to do." Tang Yuanban He responded half-heartedly.

“Not many young people these days like to play with antiques.”

"It's a good thing that you have this hobby!"

Tang Yuan's answer was obviously in line with the old man's wishes, so much so that his eyes became a little softer when he looked at Tang Yuan, and his words were filled with emotion.

When they met for the first time, although China Merchants Bank was the bridge, neither party was in a hurry to get straight to the point. Tang Yuan followed the old man to the reception area and sat down, drinking hot tea and exchanging simple greetings.

During this period, Wen Muxue had been sitting obediently next to Tang Yuan, watching Tang Yuan chatting and laughing with the obviously distinguished old man, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

After a cup of tea, Tang Yuan began to get to the point: "Mr. Sun, I heard that throughout Zhonghai, your research on seals is a master, and your collection is second to none in Zhonghai. I wonder if you can take this junior to appreciate it?"

"Hahaha……"

"You're young, but you're still impatient."

Sun Fuzheng laughed twice, then slowly stood up with the support of his granddaughter: "My collections are all on the second floor, let's go upstairs."

The attic has a total of two floors. After Tang Yuan entered the house, he made a brief observation and found that the first floor was full of living functional areas, so he guessed that the other party's collections should be on the second floor. Now it seems that he was right.

In this way, Tang Yuan and Wen Muxue followed Sun Fuzheng and the others up to the second floor.

……

Compared with the complex layout of the living functional area on the first floor, the layout on the second floor is extremely simple. As far as the eye can see, there are independent glass showcases or glass booths. Under the illumination of soft lights, each one is either exquisite or simple. , each exudes a unique brilliance.

Such a scene was really shocking to Wen Muxue.

"Come on, come on." "Tang Xiaoyou, come and sit here."

The old man was obviously somewhat proud of his collection. He greeted Tang Yuan and the two of them and walked towards the appreciation area near the window.

Tang Yuan greeted Wen Muxue, then followed Sun Fuzheng and walked over, sitting directly opposite Sun Fuzheng.

"Tang Xiaoyou, I have a total of 527 seals here. There are seals of different materials and different collection values. Do you have any specific needs?"

After Sun Fuzheng sat down, he looked at Tang Yuan and asked with a smile.

"Mr. Sun, to tell you the truth, I came here today with the intention of buying some seals and taking them home to play with and collect. As for the clear demand, I don't have any specific needs at the moment. If it's convenient for Mr. Sun, I don't know. Can you show me some seals with different collectible values?"

"Of course, if it is Mr. Sun's private collection, there is no need to take it out. I'm afraid that after reading it, if I see Hunter Xin happy, it will be very uncomfortable."

Tang Yuan stated his needs truthfully, his eyes full of sincerity.

"Private collection?" Sun Fuzheng heard this and shook his head with a smile: "Look around, all the seals here are my private collection. I regard them as treasures. If you point out any one, I can immediately tell their material , age, and origin, I will tell you all about it.”

"Over the past decades, I have had eight thousand, if not tens of thousands, of seals. I always believe that only time can be the eternal owner of antiques, and we are just appreciators, so no matter Whichever seal you like here, you can take it away, I will never stop you."

At the end of Sun Fuzheng's words, he pointed to the seal collection not far away with some emotion in his tone.

"Don't ask for forever, just ask for once owned."

"Your open-mindedness will be admired by younger generations!"

Tang Yuan cupped his hands towards the old man and praised with a smile.

"Hahaha……"

"Your description is quite appropriate. That's right. That's what it means!"

Sun Fuzheng heard this and immediately laughed: "You wait here, I will pick some seals for you to taste later."

After saying that, Sun Fuzheng stood up again and walked towards his snow collection area, while Sun Fuzheng's granddaughter picked up a mahogany pallet covered with soft silk cloth and silently followed behind Mr. Sun.

"I didn't expect you to have the habit of collecting antiques."

After Sun Fuzheng and the others left, Wen Muxue looked at Tang Yuan's profile and sighed with a strange look in his eyes.

"how?"

"Is it strange?"

Seeing that everything was going well, Tang Yuan was in a good mood and asked with a smile.

"Isn't it strange?"

"I see, don't you boys always like to collect sneakers?"

Wen Muxue blinked, a look of confusion on her cold and delicate face.

"Sneakers?" A hint of disdain flashed in Tang Yuan's eyes: "I haven't even understood the things passed down by my ancestors, but I still flock to those modern products from abroad that are promoted through marketing. Is there something wrong with my pure head?"

Hearing this, Wen Muxue wanted to refute a few words, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to refute, and she really had nowhere to refute.

While Tang Yuan and Wen Muxue were chatting, Mr. Sun had already taken his granddaughter around and returned to the starting point...
