Chapter 69 Entrustment

"How is it? Is it enough to repair the grave for Uncle Wu?" Li Yan laughed.

"Enough... enough... this thing is enough to repair the tomb ten times." Han Zeqi handed the ring to Lin Songbei who was puzzled, and still looked at Li Yan with inquiring eyes.

The collection of antiques in this era is still in the "underground period", because laws and regulations clearly stipulate that the people cannot buy and sell cultural relics privately. It was not until a Shanghai auction company held its first antique calligraphy and painting auction in 1993 that it marked the ban on the folk antique calligraphy and painting auctions by relevant departments, and the same is true for jewelry. There are many circles among the so-called upper class people in the capital and the Demon City, and people in this circle often conduct some transactions in this regard, so Han Zeqi probably knows the current market situation.

This ring is one of the "Chen Family Treasures". When Liu Fengzhi was depositing a safe in the bank, she was reluctant to leave and was worried. She even doubted the security performance of the bank. She even mentioned the story of being "scamd" by Old Lady Li to go to the gold ring. In desperation, Li Yan randomly picked the ring from many jewelry and asked her to play with it. Later, Li Kai saw it and said that it was worth at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.

"Don't worry, this thing is not stolen, nor is it robbed, nor is it inherited from the ancestors. It's a legitimate way. If you don't leave today, we will gather together tonight, and I can tell you this story. I still have a handful of such things here." Li Yan proudly put his palms together and glanced at Li Kai who was reviewing the accounts next to him.

Lin Songbei put the ring on the table. Li Anruo just now hinted to him that the ring is of great value. Lin Songbei didn't understand these things very well, but his wife understood that the Li family was a scholarly family, and Li's mother was even more from a wealthy family. There were many gold and silver jewelry passed down from her ancestors. Unfortunately, Chi Xiaobing searched the house back then, and the things were gone.

"It's not impossible to stay for one more day, and our units are not very busy. What about you, Zeqi?"

"I'm even more okay. I have the final say in my company. Who dares to check my attendance?"

Both of them were curious about what adventure Li Yan had, and they really wanted to get together again.

"That's great. Let's go back to Ancheng and arrange a place for you to live first." Li Yan stood up and greeted everyone.

When I returned to Ancheng, I had to go to the bank to take out the blue and white porcelain and painting scrolls, and entrust Lin Songbei or Han Zeqi to get the appraisal in Beijing or the Magic City. Tomorrow is Sunday, I am afraid that the bank will be inconvenient. Besides, I have been busy for several days, and the three brothers have not been able to sit down quietly and chat about their recent situation.

Li Yan greeted Li Ku and his wife who were cleaning up in the yard and told him to do what they could do if they could. If they couldn't do it, they would come to solve the problem when they couldn't.

This yard will be the couple Li Kui in the future. It is not convenient to advise Li Yan if you want to deal with it. It depends on their own wishes.

Lin Songbei's car is standard for five people, now there are seven people, and he can get enough to squeeze. Han Zeqi drives, Li Kai and Chang Dalong squeezes in the co-pilot, and four people are squeezed out in the back. In 1990s, there were still few private cars, the traffic rules are not so strict, and the drivers are not so afraid.

When driving past an old house, Li Yan pointed at him and asked, "Do you still remember this place?"

"This is not that person..."

"Who...who will come?"

"Chen Dafu!"

"Yes, it's Chen Dafu, the old house of Chen Landlord, who is so dilapidated?"

"Yes, this is the old house of Chen. Remember this place and I'll tell you a story later."

Lin Songbei and Han Zeqi were inexplicably aware, while Li Anruo seemed to have realized something.

"Dad," Li Kai hugged Chang Dalong, who was close to him, and turned around and said to Li Yan, "Our family can buy a car, it's too inconvenient and not safe."

"What are you thinking? Do we get this thing for family use?" Li Yan reached out from the back row and slapped Li Kai in the back of the head.

"How come it can't be used? Today, this situation can be used. Usually, it's windy, rainy, snowy and slippery. You can pick up my mother to and from get off work. You are close to home when you go to get off work. My mother is very hard. It takes two hours to get to work every day. When it comes to bad weather, you are always suffering. You don't know how to feel sorry for my mother at all. Mom, I tell you, you have followed my dad and you are useless."

Everyone burst into laughter, Liu Fengzhi laughed and punched Li Yan twice, and Li Kai was slapped in the back of the head again.

"Really, Dad, buy one. If you don't drive, you can let my mom drive it."

"Jinghui's random thoughts...Songbei, how much does this car cost?"

"I'm a bus, Toyota Crown, and Japanese car. I'm not sure how much it costs. The government bought it with foreign exchange."

"It's equivalent to more than 600,000 yuan, it's not easy for me to buy it." Han Zeqi interrupted.

"My God! Okay, smash it, wake up, we really can't afford this thing."

In this era when workers' wages were less than 300, more than 600,000 yuan, the couple had to save about a hundred years without eating or drinking.

"Second brother, if you really want to get one, I can help you find it when I go back. There are many government agencies in the capital, and there are many old-fashioned Weilian cars. I'll get you a good one, which is only 40,000 to 50,000."

"Forget it." "I want it." Li Yan and his son said at the same time.

Li Yan glared at his son and said to Lin Songbei, "Let's take a look. Even if you want to buy it, you must at least have a driver's license first, otherwise you can buy it and get the decorations and wait for another two years."

The car drove to Ancheng Hotel, drove two rooms, and left the two girls and two young people. Li Yan took Lin Songbei and Han Zeqi to the bank to collect the "goal".

In accordance with the bank's regulations, Li Yan took Han Zeqi into the vault alone, while Lin Songbei and others were in the car.

More than half an hour later, Li Yan and Han Zeqi came out with a bag of things. Seeing Han Zeqi walking carefully, their eyes were a little dazed, Lin Songbei hurried forward to pick him up.

Han Zeqi hugged the travel bag in his hand tightly, shook his head and got into the car.

When Li Yan got into the car, Han Zeqi urged to "return to the hotel". Lin Songbei stepped on the accelerator helplessly and drove away from the bank.

Finally returning to the hotel room, Han Zeqi carefully placed the travel bag on the bed, then sat at the end of the bed in a daze, and looked up at Lin Songbei and the others for a long time and said, "I only then did I realize that the fourth brother is his mother's 'big dog family'. His things are worth half of my property that I have been fighting for so many years."

Li Anruo asked him what he had seen. While recalling, Han Zeqi described what he saw, such as green glass jade bracelets, chicken blood stone seals, Hetian jade rings, red diamonds as big as quail eggs, and at least a handful of jewelry of the same level as the cat-eye emerald ring, and this jar that was suspected to be Yuan blue and white.

Han Zeqi did not mention the gold bars. The thing is not antique or amazing. Just taking out a gem ring is of similar value.

Li Yan listened with a smile and took out two toilet paper balls from his pocket, handing them to Li Anruo and the other to Han Zeqi.

"I'm going to give you a little gift, Zeqi, you'll go back to your wife."

When the two of them opened it, they both had a ring and two earrings. The difference was that the blue gems were inlaid on Li Anruo, and the red gems were inlaid on Han Zeqi.

This was discussed by Li Yan and Liu Fengzhi when they arrived at the hotel just now. They gave them small things to the two families as gifts, and greeted Li Kai and Chang Dalong, but they had no objection.

"You can't ask for this, Fourth Brother, you're too polite."

"Does we still have to be polite? These things come unexpectedly. They are originally ownerless things. You can take them back as a souvenir."

"Fourth brother, where did you get it from? Tell us quickly. I'm very angry." Han Zeqi said.

"Okay, let's talk about this jar first," Li Yan opened the travel bag, took out the cardboard box, and then opened the cardboard box to reveal the jar inside. "In 1966, except An Ruo, you two have not yet arrived in Banshantun. At that time, the food in the city was not available, and you could not buy it even if you had money or tickets. I often made some mountain goods from the mountains, pheasants, hares, walnuts, jujubes, and chestnuts, etc., and went to the city to exchange for some money tickets...

Later, the jar was kept at Uncle Wu's place until Xiao Kai saw it a few years ago. He said it was an old object, so he would stay there."

Seeing everyone thinking, Li Yan paused for a while before continuing, "The other things were discovered by Xiaokai and Dalong. They were just in the old house of Chen's family that they had just passed by. Some time ago, Uncle Wu was not in good health, and the couple had to go to work again. Xiaokai and the others were on the winter vacation, so Xiaokai took the initiative to ask to take care of Uncle Wu, so...

Liangmuli is all those things, Zeqi just saw them."

Everyone stared at Li Yan and his son blankly. After a long time, Li Anruo said with emotion: "The luck of your father and his son is simply against the will of heaven." He then groped in the ring and earrings in his hand, "There are no masters, and those with virtue are possessed by them. I also want to share your luck, so I accepted it with a shameless face."

"Please accept it, accept it, I have the same trick here. If you have the chance, we three sisters will bring them together, and you will bring them all." Liu Fengzhi smiled from the side.

Han Zeqi also put the jewelry in his pocket.

Neither family is a greedy person. It is normal for the Tong family to give each other gifts, and as Li Anruo said, the luck that defies the heavens is really enviable, and it still has to be a little bit of fun.

Seeing that his wife "admitted" her wife, Lin Songbei did not stop her, and touched the blue and white jar and said, "I think the original owner of this jar must have been confiscated by Chi Xiaobing, so all the messy things were thrown on the street before they were picked up by others. Fourth brother, An Ruo is right, this is definitely a lucky luck. Chi Xiaobing did not leave all his belongings when he confiscated the house. Maybe an accident happened that the jar was not broken. Then someone happened to pick it up, and the fourth brother went to exchange for mountain goods. Then, the fourth brother was kind-hearted and did not ask for money to ask for this jar. It happened that no one took it seriously for more than 20 years but was well preserved. This is really... Why did Xiao Kai take such auspicious words seriously? And the house collapsed and the beam fell to the ground... My God, you father and son are really..."

"It's still hard to say. Zeqi said that he couldn't understand this jar. Just when you left, take it with you and find an expert to identify the authenticity. And these are also the same," Li Yan took over the wooden box that was placed beside him. "It's a scroll, and the seal is quite tight. Xiaokai said that he needs a professional to open it, otherwise... it will be broken, and you will also take it away and find someone to see it. There is also this seal, which has words on it, and we don't know it."

As he said that, Li Yan took out another brocade bag and placed it on a wooden box.

Lin Songbei took out the chicken blood stone seal from the brocade bag and looked at the words on it. He didn't recognize it, so he handed it to Li Anruo.

Li Anruo looked at it carefully, "This is Miao Zhuan, I can't understand it. An old friend of my father's life understood this, so I'll ask him to show it."

"Okay, then I'll look for Mr. Tang in this scroll, and I'll look for Mr. Ma in the jar, and let them identify them. These two are experts in the capital who study calligraphy, painting and porcelain." Lin Songbei said.
