Chapter 252 The thank you banquet before departure
"Jianlong, you go and fetch Brother Lin. I'll ask my younger brother to come over too. Since he has done Xuetao a big favor, of course we have to hold a banquet to thank him."
Early the next morning, Zheng Xueming pulled Yang Jianlong out of bed.
He was very interested in the craft store and had always wanted to find an opportunity to chat with Lin Ran.
Zheng Xuetao's incident just gave him a chance.
"I got it." Yang Jianlong was still a little hungover, but he still climbed out of bed and drove to Xialin Village.
Lin Ran's family had already gotten up, and their family members had gone to the construction site to supervise.
Now that they have money, they don't have to worry about it all day long.
Farming has also become a Buddhist thing. When I have no money, I am in a hurry to do anything.
When you have money, you will calm down.
Maybe it's human nature.
Usually at this time, family members are busy in front of the house, sometimes taking over tasks from other people's houses and helping others.
Sometimes it’s trivial tasks like chopping firewood and feeding chickens. In short, parents always have endless work to do.
Now that he has finally calmed down, he can study well in the bedroom.
Although Lu Yingjie's literary talent is not very good, the experiences he wrote down in the book are not much inferior to the tomb-robbing novels of later generations.
Their discovery of Dingling was also a coincidence.
They just wanted to take shelter from the rain, so they found two stone pillars and prepared to pull up a tarp for the night, but they discovered that the stone pillars had a special origin.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a tomb-suppressing beast from the Tang Dynasty!
It's just that it was exposed and washed away by rain for a long time, and its facial features were no longer visible clearly, so it looked like an ordinary stone pillar.
Then, they ignored the rain and started studying on the ground.
Eventually, a mausoleum intersection hidden underground was dug out.
Due to their low cultural level, they only found out after two weeks of investigation that this was the tomb of Li Xian, Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty.
They were just about to dig when the companion in charge of researching the tomb told them that there might be a mechanism inside, so they needed to prepare some self-defense items.
When they returned, they found that the door to the tomb had been opened.
There is no record later. This period of time must be the memory he wants to forget the most.
In fact, Lin Ran is also going to Shaanxi this time.
I didn't expect that there are so many tombs from the Tang Dynasty in Shaanxi. This trip can also test the skills of Liu Jingfeng and others.
See if it's worth telling them about Dingling.
At this moment, Yang Jianlong's car horn sounded.
"Drip."
To be honest, Lin Ran had long been used to it. Just now he was wondering whether Yang Jianlong's whistle would sound.
The two of them really understand each other more and more.
Lin Ran walked downstairs and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Godfather, my dad knows that you are helping your uncle, so he insists on treating you to a meal at home." Yang Jianlong was dumbfounded.
Zheng Xueming actually just wanted to chat with him, and Lin Ran naturally understood.
He has finished reading Lu Yingjie's notes today, and it will take some time to digest them.
It just so happens that I'm still in the free period now.
Go and have a chat with Zheng Xueming, and thank him for the help he provides to your store.
So he readily accepted Yang Jianlong's invitation.
……
When I came to his townhouse again, it no longer had the same sense of wonder as before.
Although Zheng Xueming had good taste, he could never surpass the times. The houses and structures of this era were far beyond Lin Ran's vision.
Zheng Xueming and Zheng Xuetao came to the door together to greet Lin Ran.
It's really easy to confuse the two when they laugh.
However, Lin Ran could still see that Zheng Xuetao's face had a bit more gangsterism. On the contrary, Zheng Xueming looked more gentle and elegant.
It's not time to eat yet. After inviting Lin Ran to take a seat, Zheng Xueming criticized Zheng Xuetao: "Brother, if it weren't for you, if Brother Lin hadn't been here, you would have bought a lot of things from the tombs yesterday. , I’m afraid that it will cause a bloody disaster to my family later.”
"How could it be?" Zheng Xuetao leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs and said, "I won't bring those things home, I will only put them in the warehouse."
"I'm afraid that when you bought it, the evil spirit would have followed you home." Zheng Xueming was so angry that he had already persuaded his younger brother not to do business directly with the tomb robbers.
Whether it is in the name of picking up leaks, in China, there has always been a saying that those who do not know are not guilty.
Tomb robbing is an illegal act. Directly purchasing the cultural relics excavated by the tomb robbers is an act of helping others write off their accounts, and you also need to pay legal liability.
At least they can't dig out something with their front foot and buy it with their back foot.
If you were caught red-handed, you wouldn't be able to eat and walk away.
"I know, I know." Zheng Xuetao obviously couldn't defeat his brother and could only accept the lesson.
He smiled and said, "Brother Lin pointed out on the spot that the tomb did not match the description. Not only did he stop me from buying evil things, but it also saved me a lot of money."
Only then did Zheng Xueming react.
Yang Jianlong was hurriedly arranged to bring tea to Lin Ran.
On the surface, Lin Ran was invited to a thank you banquet because of Zheng Xuetao's incident.
In fact, Yang Jianlong told him yesterday that Lin Ran had also done some research on tomb robbing, and his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Lin Ran came from a native family?
After communicating with Yang Jianlong, it was confirmed that his parents were ordinary farmers who didn't even know cultural relics. Their level of treasure appraisal was not as good as his. How could he be a native master?
Therefore, Zheng Xueming was even more curious and asked Lin Ran about Feng Shui, tombstones and other issues.
In this regard, he is truly a layman.
Because what he despises most are tomb robbers, especially those who sell cultural relics to foreigners.
Among the people who come and go, there is absolutely no one engaged in this field.
Lin Ran shared his thoughts and experiences about visiting the ancient tomb yesterday with Zheng Xueming. As for how he learned Feng Shui and the skills of Tufuzi, he did not mention it at all.
Zheng Xuetao didn't care. He kept praising Lin Ran for his unique vision and his calmness in dealing with chaos.
Zheng Xueming was full of doubts.
Lin Ran really exceeded his imagination time and time again. Whenever he was about to make a conclusion for Lin Ran, the other party would do something unexpected, making him reach a new limit of understanding again.
Seeing his brother's pensive look, Zheng Xuetao took the wine glass and filled it up for Zheng Xueming as well.
He whispered: "Brother, you don't need to get to the bottom of everything. Just know that Brother Lin is one of our own."
They are brothers after all, and they understand each other's tempers perfectly.
Zheng Xueming tends to get into trouble, but Zheng Xuetao usually lets him go.
"That's right." Zheng Xueming was relieved and saw the nanny coming out, so she warmly invited Lin Ran to the table for dinner.
This time the meal was more sumptuous than before.
It was obviously all kinds of high-end ingredients that Zheng Xuetao bought from other places, coupled with the superb skills of Zheng Xueming's chef, Lin Ran couldn't help but feel appetizing!
