Chapter 243: Do you have anything to ask for?
"Xiaoran, why are you going out of town?" The parents stood up in surprise. In comparison, the money in their hands was nothing.
"The Palace Museum has an exchange project with the Shaanxi Museum, and a researcher named Cai wants my help." Lin Ran decisively passed the blame to Cai Yan.
After all, he was also going to Shaanxi.
There was a long silence before my father spoke.
"Xiaoran, are you engaged in antique-related work?" Father Lin asked.
Lin Ran nodded.
Father Lin felt relieved and said, "Well, since it is a museum job, it can be considered a contribution to the country. You have to help me properly and don't lose etiquette."
Unexpectedly, his father readily agreed, and Lin Ran felt deeply in his heart.
If he wanted to rob a tomb, his father would definitely stop him in every possible way.
But although my father was reluctant to give up on working for the country and the museum, he would not be embarrassed.
Where there is a country, there is a home!
The interests of the country always outweigh everything else!
This is the layout!
"But Xiaoran, you have to learn to take care of yourself outside and don't make trouble for others, you know?"
"I got it~" Lin Ran's eyes were a little moist. Even though his family had no money and no power, when he thought of doing things for the country, he would rather pay for it himself than cause trouble to others.
I am going to Shaanxi this time and I don’t know how long it will take to come back.
So I talked with my parents about many things, from building a house to decorating, and then to the next work content.
"The main thing is treasure appraisal, as well as the restoration and protection of cultural relics. There will be no danger." Lin Ran assured again and again.
There is still a week left, so there is no need to rush. The most important thing during this period is to read the notes left by Lu Yingjie, especially the part about Suzuki in the Tang Dynasty.
In a sense, Lu Yingjie is their predecessor. He has recorded as many as a thousand tombs, and he clearly remembers the details of each passage.
I thought everything would be peaceful in the next few days, but unexpectedly, Yang Jianlin drove to see him again the next day.
"Jianlong, what's the matter?"
Yang Jianlong did not speak directly as before, and his tone seemed to be embarrassed.
Lin Ran said it didn't matter.
"Godfather, I have an uncle who wants to talk to you after hearing about you."
Lin Ran frowned slightly. Archaeological matters were important at the moment, so why did he bring someone to see him?
Yang Jianlong seemed to see through Lin Ran's thoughts and quickly explained: "Godfather, it's like this. My father-in-law told my uncle that you are good at identifying cultural relics. My uncle just happened to buy a batch of cultural relics recently, so he wanted to get to know you."
Lin Ran smiled and said: "With Brother Zheng here, do you still need me to take action?"
Yang Jianlong's attitude seemed a little tangled, and it took him a long time to say something: "Uncle didn't dare to tell his father-in-law about this, because..."
He looked around and lowered his voice and said: "Uncle is doing business with tomb robbers. What my father-in-law dislikes the most is unruly tomb robbers on the road. It is impossible to help him identify them."
Grave robber?
Lin Ran's eyes lit up, there were other tomb robbers?
He suddenly became interested, but he had some questions: "How did your uncle know the tomb robber? He is also in the literary business?"
"Alas, he is not in the entertainment business, but in construction projects. Because he often has to contract projects in various places, he also knows a lot of people from all walks of life."
Yang Jianlong explained: "Some time ago, my uncle also started wearing a jade pendant. After my father-in-law's observation, it turned out to be an animal blood jade from the Tang Dynasty."
"When asked about his background, he refused to answer. He only said that he had met a big antique dealer and showed off the animal blood jade. But his father-in-law immediately exposed him and thought that he bought it from a tomb robber. , the two also broke up on bad terms."
"Is there any problem buying it from a tomb robber?" Lin Ran found it interesting. Zheng Xueming was too rigid in a sense.
"My father-in-law has such a temper." Yang Jianlong sighed, "Actually, my uncle was still in contact with the tomb robbers during this period. He originally wanted to talk to his father-in-law about this matter today, but he refused."
"He just remembered you, the godfather I mentioned earlier, and then he found me and asked me if I could build a bridge?"
Yang Jianlong said: "Godfather, it doesn't matter even if you don't want to go. I'll go and make it clear to him."
"I haven't refused yet." Lin Ran said with a smile. He actually wanted to meet this tomb robbing team.
We need to compare it with Liu Jingfeng’s team. After all, Dingling is a precious mausoleum that embodies Lu Yingjie’s lifelong efforts. We must find the best team to bury it.
"That's good." Yang Jianlong breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know how to go back and explain?
The two of them took a car to Uncle Yang Jianlong's villa.
This is the latest building built in Beijing. It is next to the commercial street and the price is very high.
Unexpectedly, Yang Jianlong's uncle actually bought a floor and built security doors on the stairs.
"Uncle, I brought my godfather." Yang Jianlong knocked on the iron door.
There was movement from the door, and after a while, through the screen window, I saw a man who looked somewhat similar to Zheng Xueming.
It's just that this man looks much more philistine, with a businessman's trademark smile on his face.
"Is this Brother Lin? I have admired you for a long time." Yang Jianlong's uncle opened the door and held Lin Ran's hands together, showing great attentiveness. "My name is Zheng Xuetao, and I am Yang Jianlong's uncle. Since he recognizes you as his godfather, then We are considered peers, you can just call me Brother Zheng."
The opponent's opening remarks were like a barrage of words, which made Lin Ran feel a little embarrassed.
As expected, he is his younger brother, not as stable as Zheng Xueming.
After shaking hands, the three of them entered the living room. The decoration of this living room was also unique, and it already had the feel of a wealthy family in later generations.
It is covered with wooden plywood, a glass coffee table, a leather sofa, and a black and white TV.
It is not difficult to see that he is a person who pursues the quality of life extremely. He bought a TV set in the 80s. There were very few programs in this era, and you could only watch TV during fixed time periods.
It is an extremely luxurious piece of furniture!
But judging from the decoration of his home, it doesn’t look like anyone from the literary and entertainment circles.
There are only porcelain from various dynasties placed on the wooden cabinet in the living room, scattered together, and the arrangement is neither beautiful nor regular.
Lin Ran sat on the sofa, smiling and nodding, but in his heart he felt that Zheng Xuetao was too verbose. He kept talking and getting close to him from the moment he entered the door.
Yang Jianlong knew that Lin Ran's time was precious, so he advised him: "Uncle, my godfather has a lot of things to do. If you have anything to do, just tell him."
"How can you not entertain a distinguished guest like Brother Lin first?" Zheng Xuetao's wife came up with a basin of oranges and placed it on the coffee table.
Zheng Xuetao immediately took two pieces and handed them to Lin Ran: "Here, brother Lin, try it. These are tangerines from Jiangxi."
Lin Ran put it in his mouth and chewed it twice. The taste was indeed different from the local ones in the capital.
The man in front of me really enjoys life.
Seeing Lin Ran eating, Zheng Xuetao smiled and could finally get to the point!
