Chapter 355 A gift before departure

Tang Lanxuan nodded happily. For some reason, he trusted his students even more than the archaeological experts from the cooperative unit!

Going to Shuzhou is not easy, it takes two hours by plane.

But as the director of the Palace Museum, he could arrange a business trip permit in advance. After Lin Ran got off the plane, there would be someone to pick him up and check him into the guest house, and there would also be professionals to take him to the archaeological site.

Tang Lanxuan personally drove Lin Ran back home. After all, if a child goes on a business trip, he must make it clear to his parents.

My parents had just finished their farm work and were sitting at home. They saw a Hongqi car parked in front of their house and couldn't help but put their heads out to take a look.

As a result, he saw Lin Ran walking down with a man with gray hair on his temples and unusually determined eyes.

"Who is this??" Although they knew that Lin Ran had a wide range of contacts, the man in front of them gave them an authoritative aura, which was definitely not the same as that of Yang Jianlong and the foreigner last time.

Tang Lanxuan stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, I am Tang Lanxuan, the curator of the Palace Museum."

The parents were smiling, but their expressions were dull.

"Director of the National Palace Museum?" They wondered if Lin Ran had invited him back to make them happy.

How could my son know such a big shot?

Tang Lanxuan was still wearing work clothes with his name tag on it. He showed the name tag to Father Lin and Mother Lin, who was extremely surprised.

He immediately invited Tang Lanxuan to sit at home and made tea for him.

"We only have coarse tea at home, please enjoy it slowly." Father Lin was very enthusiastic. In his opinion, Tang Lanxuan was an incredible character.

"You two don't have to be too formal." Tang Lanxuan smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "Actually, I came to your house today just to tell you that our museum would like to ask your son for a favor."

"If Xiaoran can help, just ask." Lin's father replied.

"We found an ancient tomb in Sichuan. We hope that Lin Ran will go to Sichuan and stay for about half a month. I hope you can approve it." Tang Lanxuan stood up and said solemnly.

With Tang Lanxuan personally inviting him and promising to arrange food and lodging, the family would naturally not object.

However, time was in a hurry and he was leaving the day after tomorrow. In the evening, he also prepared an extremely sumptuous dinner to see Lin Ran off.

They wanted to invite Tang Lanxuan to have dinner with them, but they refused because there were unresolved matters at the hotel.

"Xiao Ran, come and eat a piece of chicken." Mother Lin gave him a piece of chicken leg. The chicken Lin Ran bought home before has been almost eaten, and now it is the last one.

It's also equivalent to coming to an end.

"Father, mother, my son is just going to Chengdu for a few days, there is no need to be so grand." Lin Ran didn't want his parents to worry.

Last time I went to rob tombs, which was a bit risky. Now I went to do archeology. As a national archaeological team, I basically didn’t have to worry about encountering danger.

When Lin Wanjun returned home and saw such a sumptuous dinner, she asked curiously: "Mom, dad, are there any guests here today?"

She looked around and saw no one else.

Lin Ran explained the reason with a smile, and Lin Wanjun suddenly felt disappointed: "Xiao Ran, you have only been home for a month and you are going out again?"

"It's work." Lin Ran lowered his head and smiled. In order to let his family live a better life, it is the early stage of starting a business, so it is inevitable that he needs to leave frequently.

During dinner, the family kept picking up food for Lin Ran, and repeatedly warned him to pay attention to safety and not to conflict with others outside.

Even the luggage has been prepared by his family, so Lin Ran only needs to be the hands-on shopkeeper.

The next day, Lin Ran came to the store and told Yang Jianlong that he would be away for a while. Yang Jianlong was very surprised.

"Godfather, are you too busy? You just came back and are going out again?" Yang Jianlong was a little reluctant to leave Lin Ran. The business in the store was so good during this period that Li Yuanhao even transferred from the workshop to help.

At this time, Lin Ran actually wanted to leave.

"It's about the museum. An ancient tomb was discovered in Sichuan and I need to go and help investigate."

While Lin Ran and Yang Jianlong were discussing the matter, a clerk came over and said to Lin Ran: "Boss, someone is looking for you."

"Who is looking for me again?" Lin Ran was wondering, but he saw a graceful girl standing at the door of the office.

It's Yuan Qianyun!

Seeing Yuan Qianyun, Yang Jianlong immediately stood up and said to the clerk: "The goods in the Ming Dynasty Pavilion need to be replenished. Come with me to the warehouse."

The clerk nodded and left with Yang Jianlong.

Only Lin Ran and Yuan Qianyun were left in the office.

Yuan Qianyun's eyes were a little anxious, and after Yang Jianlong left, he couldn't wait to greet him.

He and Lin Ran were almost face to face, looking at him with big watery eyes.

"Lin Ran, your sister said you are going somewhere else? Where are you going?" Yuan Qianyun asked anxiously.

"Ah?" Lin Ran originally thought something had happened to her, but it turned out that he only asked this, "I was entrusted by the museum director to go to Shuzhou, Sichuan to assist in archaeological work."

"Archaeology? Don't you only know how to identify?" Yuan Qianyun seemed confused, "And you have to go to such a far place? Is it dangerous?"

"Appraisal is also part of it." Lin Ran was amused by her. "And it's not like going abroad, what's the danger?"

"I heard that the mausoleum is full of poisonous insects and poisonous gas. You..." Yuan Qianyun was speechless for a moment, his face turned red, and finally he mustered up the courage to say: "What can you do if you go? Grandpa Tang asked you to go, right? I asked me Dad, tell him."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Qianyun actually knew Tang Lanxuan, and it seemed that his family had a close relationship with the Palace Museum. He actually called Tang Lanxuan his grandfather?

However, Lin Ran didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I'm going there myself."

"Are you going to rob the tomb?" Yuan Qianyun's eyes flashed with a trace of grievance.

"How is it possible? I am assisting the museum in archeology." Lin Ran explained, "There is still a lot of history in China that has been buried for various reasons. As a member of China, it is my duty to bring them back to light. Responsibility."

Lin Ran's words were not meant to reassure Yuan Qianyun, but a cry from the bottom of his heart.

But after he finished speaking, he found that Yuan Qianyun had been staring at him, which made him a little embarrassed. He touched the back of his head: "What's wrong?"

Yuan Qianyun quickly looked away. There was still a trace of blush on his face, but he smiled.

"That's good. I'm worried that you're going to do something illegal."

"How is that possible? The director of the National Palace Museum? He wants me to rob tombs." Lin Ran suddenly felt funny.

"Of course they won't rob the tomb, but..." Yuan Qianyun finally felt relieved, held back what he said, then took out a red amulet and handed it to Lin Ran.

"This is the peace charm I asked for from Hongye Temple. I keep it with me and give it to you. I hope you can come back safely."

He handed it to Lin Ran without any explanation, then turned around and ran away.

Lin Ran was left staring blankly at her leaving figure.

Then he clenched the amulet in his hand and put it on his wrist!

My heart suddenly felt warm!
