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

Lin Ran watched silently from the side, thinking that these people must have investigated clearly when they first prepared the gifts. Mr. Ke likes calligraphy and painting.

When Ke Yu asked him to prepare a gift, he seemed to mention it intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Ran did have some good calligraphy and paintings in his hands, such as Wu Daozi's original paintings.

But he didn't want to give it to Mr. Ke. We were just partners and there was no need to give such precious calligraphy and paintings.

With a smile on his face, Mr. Ke, accompanied by his grandson and granddaughter, spread out the calligraphy and paintings to look at them, and then smiled.

With most people finishing giving gifts, not many people are left.

Mr. Ke also noticed Lin Ran at this time, smiled and waved for him to come over.

Ke Hui whispered beside him, seeming to be explaining something.

"You must be Lin Ran. It's our first time meeting you. Come, let me take a good look at you." Mr. Ke said with a smile.

He felt that there was no need to prepare gifts for Lin Ran's first visit, or in other words, he felt that Lin Ran's coming would be the best gift.

Seeing Ke Yu's distraught appearance some time ago, Mr. Ke, as someone who has been there, can naturally tell that his granddaughter has a sweetheart. It was precisely because his granddaughter kept talking about Lin Ran that Mr. Ke decided to invite him over.

"Mr. Ke, things in the company are quite busy and I haven't had time to see you. Please forgive me." After all, there is an antique shop as a tie with the Ke family, so Lin Ran decided to show his courtesy.

He took out a wooden box, which contained a plum vase.

It's just that the simple box looks a bit vulgar compared to the other exquisite packaging.

At this kind of party, ordinary wooden boxes appear, giving people a very cheap feeling.

People around started talking.

"Who is this person? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"I thought I heard Mr. Ke calling him Lin Ran just now."

"Lin Ran, is he the owner of that handicraft shop?"

"The owner of the handicraft store, wouldn't he send fake goods?"

Lin Ran heard other people's discussions. It was normal for people from such an antique family to have prejudices against handicrafts.

He didn't bother to explain.

However, he would never be stupid enough to give crafts as gifts.

Unless they are having dinner at Ke Hui's house, the two of them have a good relationship, and giving small gifts can bring them closer together.

But it is absolutely impolite to give handicrafts to the elderly.

Mr. Ke actually never thought that Lin Ran would give gifts at first, but he actually took out a small box, and Mr. Ke also became interested.

After all, I had always heard about Lin Ran's deeds from my grandson and granddaughter, saying that he was a master at appraising treasures.

I really want to see with my own eyes what exactly he brought.

Lin Ran didn't show off and opened the wooden box in front of everyone.

Inside was an ordinary-looking plum vase.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Is this person a fool? Mr. Ke likes calligraphy and painting, so he gave me porcelain as a gift?"

“But the porcelain looks so beautiful!”

"Of course, their company produces handicrafts."

"I really gave you handicrafts. I really don't mind the price drop."

Everyone showed their dislike for plum bottles, but there were still people present who knew antiques.

One of them, an old man, approached the plum vase and observed it carefully.

Compared to other people who didn't know the truth, Mr. Ke seemed very happy.

He took the plum vase directly out of the box and played with it in his hand.

"Wonderful, wonderful! Is it Qingxi Meiying?"

Lin Ran was a little surprised. He was originally worried that Mr. Ke would be influenced by others, and felt that he had really given away a cheap handicraft.

But he didn't expect the other party to directly report his name.

He is worthy of being a famous treasure appraisal expert in Beijing! Even though he is older, it does not affect his judgment, but he is more experienced!

"That's right." Lin Ran cupped his hands and said, "It's the Qingxi Meiying of the Yang family in the Ming Dynasty."

"Yeah, you can definitely tell it's different!" Mr. Ke said, "The blue and white style of the Ming Dynasty was really trendy, and it's not inferior at all now!"

"This dignified and elegant shape uses blue and white to outline a delicate plum blossom pattern, and the bottle neck is slightly flared outwards!"

"The bottle really lives up to its name, just like a plum blossom in bud, which makes people have endless aftertaste!"

Master Ke said with an intoxicated expression on his face.

Lin Ran smiled slightly. Meeting Mr. Ke today was not in vain. Just this kind of eyesight is worth making friends with.

"Mr. Ke, Lin Ran is here to wish you a happy birthday!"

Mr. Ke smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness! Xiaoyu, why don't you introduce Lin Ran to me."

Ke Yu was about to explain, but Lu Xiong stood up for no reason.

"Grandpa, I don't want to disappoint you. I think there's something wrong with this vase."

"Oh?" Mr. Ke suddenly looked at Lu Xiong.

Ke Yu and Ke Hui both showed unhappy expressions.

"Riku Xiong, what are your intentions? Can the gift from Brother Lin be fake?"

"Isn't it possible?" Lu Xiong pushed aside the woman next to him and came to Master Ke with the same box.

Mr. Ke felt a little embarrassed. After all, Lin Ran was the only outsider present.

"Riku Xiong, please send your gift later. I still have a few words to say to Xiaoyou Lin."

Mr. Ke planned to stop there, after all, Riku Xiong's behavior was really rude.

But Rikuo obviously didn't intend to end it there.

"Grandpa, Qingxi Meiying is a precious thing. We are in this business, so naturally there can be no ambiguity."

Completely ignoring the looks of others, Riku Xiong came to Mr. Ke and put down the wooden box.

Then he opened the box and took out a porcelain vase that was exactly the same as Qingxi Meiying just now.

Mr. Ke, who originally wanted to scold Lu Xiong, was stunned for a moment.

"this..."

The corners of Riku Xiong's mouth raised slightly: "Grandpa, I think there is no need to explain."

"The real Qingxi Meiying is in my hands. It doesn't matter what Lin Ran brings."

"Because what he sent is completely fake!"

As Lu Xiong spoke, he looked at Lin Ran with vicious eyes.

"Lu Xiong, what nonsense are you talking about!" Ke Hui couldn't help it anymore. He usually let Lu Xiong go, but today this brat stepped on his savior.

Even if his grandfather looks down upon him, Ke Hui still wants to shine.

Riku Xiong smiled and said: "I am different from you. I will be deceived by scammers outside. Do you know why you gave me your family's antique business? It's because I can identify fakes!"

Lu Xiong looked at Lin Ran: "There can't be two genuine items for one thing. Since you are called Mr. Lin, you should come and take a look. Is mine real or yours real? "

"Don't cause trouble!" Ke Hui pointed at Lu Xiong's nose and said.

"It doesn't matter!" Mr. Ke said with a smile, "Little friend Lin, what's going on?"

Mr. Ke didn't think Lin Ran had brought fake goods, but he had always been curious about Lin Ran's ability to identify treasures, and today he could finally see it with his own eyes.

Lin Ran was also a little puzzled, so he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Ke, I think Mr. Lu may have bought a fake."

Lin Ran was also confident in his vision.

These words made Rikuo furious, but he still pretended to be indifferent.

"Okay, then let's identify each other."
