Live Jianbao: Baoyou, you are very wrong

Chapter 829 The Metropolitan Museum, Come Here Earlier

The next day, the Roosevelt family sent greeting cards early in the morning and agreed to meet in three days.

"Knows the rules."

Ning Fan read the invitation and handed it to Wang Duoyu.

"really."

Wang Duoyu opened it, and all the information on it was indicated in accordance with the Xia Kingdom invitation standard.

"Three days for an invitation, two days for an appointment, and one day for a proposal. The Roosevelt family is really sensible."

Wang Duoyu licked his lips.

"Holding a banquet for three days, it can't be for the purpose of returning to Dongjunding, right? They can't save face!"

"The Hongmen banquet is also a banquet, and this thing has no good intentions."

Ning Fan reminded, looked at the invitation card again, and peeled off a circle of copper wire from the side.

"It's so advanced, the invitation also comes with..."

Before Wang Duoyu finished speaking, one hand tightly blocked his mouth.

In the next second, Ning Fan pulled out a chip the size of a fingernail and wrote on the paper.

"It's used for positioning, and it also has a monitoring function."

Wang Duoyu and the others opened their eyes wide, unable to believe it.

"It's too despicable!"

"Shameless!"

"What is this for?"

Ning Fan shook his head: "What happened to the bronzing invitation? Isn't this worthy of your status?"

There is an extra line of words on the paper.

"Probably just to see how much we know."

"Adams?" Ban Liangjin wrote, but what he said was: "When the time comes, please tell them that we want to eat the state banquet of the Stars and Stripes, and their family should be able to do it."

"No, eternal life."

Ning Fan thought for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote: "Go and understand the situation."

Huang Haoying pointed at herself and nodded vigorously: "Then I have to order some chili, otherwise it won't be fun. What is the hottest food here? Let's try it later."

"The cactus country seems to produce devil peppers, the kind that will make your lips tingle when you touch it, okay?" Wang Duoyu teased, and took out his phone: "What are we waiting for?"

"Okay, then you can talk to the other party, after all, we have to explain what we want to eat, so that we don't have any dishes."

Ning Fan patted Wang Duoyu on the shoulder and pointed outside.

"Nothing to do today, go out and take a look?"

"Row!"

Everyone agreed, but Ning Fan left the invitation casually without dealing with the monitoring equipment.

After going out, several people surrounded Ning Fan.

"Master Ning, why didn't you deal with the invitation and still act with them?"

"It's up to them to know what they want to do when the time comes."

Before the few people could react, Huang Haoying's eyes lit up: "Master Ning is right, I will find someone to follow the Roosevelt family and see what they plan to do."

Ning Fan nodded, looking in a random direction.

"What's the place over there?"

"Fifth Avenue, the entertainment mecca of the Stars and Stripes, gathers the most luxury stores, art galleries, stars, bustling commercial districts, and shops with the most expensive rents in the Stars and Stripes."

Wang Duoyu has been here several times and is very familiar with the situation here, so he took the initiative to introduce it.

"Go and have a look."

Ning Fan didn't stop the car and walked along the street.

Bicycles and skateboards passed by from time to time on both sides, and Ning Fan rolled up his sleeves casually, stopping and going like tourists.

Wang Duoyu walked several hundred meters and looked at Tang Qisheng out of boredom: "Old Tang, are we really shopping here?"

"Maybe Master Ning has other ideas? Anyway, it's my first time here, so it won't hurt to have a look."

Tang Qisheng looked around curiously, without any impatience.

"Master Jin, what do you think?"

Ban Liangjin didn't respond, and only when he heard it again did he look at him suspiciously: "Call me? I have nothing to say, what woman doesn't like shopping?"

"Okay." Wang Duoyu swallowed what he wanted to say, and then turned his head: "Huang..."

I didn't say it this time, Huang Haoying wasn't here at all.

"All right."

Ning Fan stopped and looked at the building in front of him: "Let's go and have a look inside."

Several people took a few steps back and saw the signboard, smiling deeply.

Metropolitan meseum!

"Satisfied?"

Ning Fan looked at Wang Duoyu.

"Say it earlier, I'm definitely not complaining!"

"really!"

"Master Ning, just one thing, you must put it away. You have to meet the Roosevelt family the day after tomorrow, so you have to save some face!"

Tang Qisheng quickly tried to persuade him.

"Am I that much of a troublemaker?"

Tang Qisheng stared at himself and said to himself: "If I was a minute late, you would have caused trouble, what do you think?"

"No, no." Ning Fan waved his hand, seeing that Tang Qisheng still didn't believe it, he nodded seriously: "This time, I'll wait for them to make trouble first, okay?"

"it is good."

Tang Qisheng heaved a sigh of relief, and followed Ning Fan into the Metropolitan Museum.

This is the largest art museum in the Stars and Stripes, with a full area of ​​13 square meters, and it is one of the five largest museums in the world.

The cultural relics inside also match the name of the museum.

Most of them are placed in museums in other cities, but now they are placed here, so it is called the Metropolitan Museum.

Walking to the Far East Art Exhibition Area, Ning Fan raised his tickets and asked a few people: "What do you think?"

"I feel like I'm home." Wang Duoyu said truthfully.

Ning Fan chuckled: "For you, it is indeed home."

The things placed in front of him, from statues of gods to calligraphy and paintings to furniture and sculptures, were all brought from Xia Guo.

With the strength of the Langya royal family, there is no problem with such a set up in the ancestral house.

There may be similar things in the treasure house, so it is very appropriate to say that I have returned home.

"That's not what I mean, I mean it's the same as going back to the museum!"

It was only at this time that Wang Duoyu realized Ning Fan's meaning, and quickly defended: "I don't put the things at home in the showcase."

The few people around heard their teeth sore inexplicably, some of them were born in Versailles.

"Master Ning, are these things normal?"

Tang Qisheng took a quick look around, leaning on Ning Fan and pointing to something beside him.

[Ming Dynasty mother-of-pearl black lacquer plum and bamboo pattern Duobaoge, made of black lacquer mother-of-pearl technique, about three feet long, five feet high, one foot deep, copper-covered feet, well preserved, complete product. 】

[Huanghuali medicine box in the Qing Dynasty, with two doors, three layers and six compartments, respectively storing silver needles, stone needles, wrist pillows, bamboo jars, emergency medicine, pens, inks, papers and inkstones.The buckle is damaged, it will be repaired later, it is a half-finished product. 】

[Ming Dynasty keto gold-embellished hanging banners with double phoenixes and sunburst pattern, all seven feet long, with gold threads on a green background, originally embellished with pearls, cinnabar, rubies, turquoise and other precious stones, which have been lost and are remnants. 】

……

At a glance, dozens of items are all genuine products.

Ning Fan nodded: "It's all true."

"It's a pity! It would be great if these things were in China!"

Ning Fan didn't speak.

He could see that the aura on these cultural relics was gone, and it was almost certain that they were failed products from the eternal life laboratory.

"Can these be taken back? Master Ning?"

Tang Qisheng's eyes were filled with reluctance.

Ning Fan could only shake his head and give him a cruel result.

Although these things are a pity, they are not to the point where they have to be taken back.

The medicine cabinets and furniture can only be regarded as supplies for the common people and wealthy families, and they are a little delicate.

The only thing that is considered a good thing is the hanging banner. Judging from the specification and shape, it is known that it is for the imperial court. It is a pity that all the gemstones on it are lost, and it has no great value.

"There may be better things in the future."

Ning Fan comforted, and continued to walk forward.

It's a pity that I went all over the East Asia exhibition area of ​​the Metropolitan Museum and couldn't find anything that can be counted as a leak.

"Also normal."

Tang Qisheng came back to his senses and sighed: "In the early years, many people in China came out to look for jobs, and they all chose Stars and Stripes and Europe. There are also many old colleagues here. Their vision is not bad, so it's not like..."

"Old Tang? Why are you here!"

Before Tang Qisheng finished speaking, a voice sounded.

"Old Duan?"

Tang Qisheng turned around and thought for a few seconds, then called out the person's name, and then looked a little embarrassed.

"This is the colleague I was talking about. I was in the same school as me before. Later, I thought the salary was too low and there was no development, so I went abroad to seek a job. I didn't expect to meet here."

After speaking, he looked at Duan Ping: "Long time no see, old Duan, are you coming to the exhibition?"

Duan Ping laughed loudly when he heard this: "Old Tang, you are still joking all the time, why do I need to see the exhibition now?"

Walked a few steps while talking, stopped a meter away, pointed around: "I am the person in charge of this exhibition."

"I, the director of East Asia at the Metropolitan Museum."

Duan Ping took out a work card from his shirt pocket, shook it, and stuffed it back: "Look, this is a red ribbon only for veteran employees."

After finishing speaking, he approached Tang Qisheng: "You haven't said why you came here to see the exhibition?"

"With students?"

Duan Ping noticed the three people behind Tang Qisheng and said in surprise.

Ning Fan and the others looked at each other and held back their laughter. Judging by their age, they did look like Tang Qisheng's students.

However, the specific identity cannot be told to him.

"Yes, let's come and learn from Teacher Tang." Ning Fan took the initiative.

"Yes, they are all my students."

"Sure, now that the school is so rich, it can send appraisers to places like the Stars and Stripes to study and study!"

Duan Ping smacked his lips.

"Then you have to take a good look at it. Don't waste this opportunity. You must know that there are many places in the museum every year, so don't embarrass the teacher! Old Tang was also the person who was second only to me in technology at that time."

Tang Qisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't attack.

Ning Fan noticed and gave Wang Duoyu a wink.

"Teacher, who is this senior?"

Wang Duoyu took the initiative to ask.

Tang Qisheng looked at Ning Fan in surprise, realized something after a while, nodded slightly, and introduced Duan Ping's identity, emphasizing his identity as the person in charge of the exhibition.

"The person in charge of the exhibition, isn't this amazing?" Ban Liangjin pretended to be ignorant and looked at Duan Ping helplessly.

"No, it's just average."

Duan Ping was full of satisfaction, but he still tried his best to suppress his expression: "It's just that here, the exhibition, maintenance, restoration and introduction of these cultural relics are all done by me."

"That's right." Duan Ping pointed to the upstairs: "If you encounter problems while watching the exhibition, you can come to the office to find me..."

"Thank you, but your work seems to be the same as what the teacher does in the Palace Museum?" Ban Liangjin was stunned on purpose, "But the teacher said that these are the basic tasks of cultural relics?"

Duan Ping's face changed slightly, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait, you're not at school anymore?"

"Yes." Tang Qisheng smiled and took out his business card: "I later studied as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Archeology in the History Department of Peking University, and then the state gave special allowances. I was transferred to the Palace Museum more than ten years ago, and now I am barely a senior. expert."

Duan Ping took the business card, his face turned green.

"You... this... isn't... too... too fast! I'm not a professor yet!"

After talking about something, his face changed: "Old Tang, we have been in a relationship for so many years, you must help me!"

"What's the matter? I can't help you if you want to go back to China. Now you are promoted or left."

"No...not going back! My family is here now, and my household registration is gone. How can I go back?"

The corner of Duan Ping's mouth twitched, he sighed and turned his hand.

"I want to ask you to help me look at a cultural relic in the museum. I haven't repaired it after half a month..."

"Conservation of cultural relics? Isn't half a month very short, just restore it again." Tang Qisheng persuaded.

"But I didn't say that it will definitely be repaired, but they seem to have a problem with their understanding. They think that I will definitely be able to repair it. What should I do?"

"Then tell them clearly that it's fine if you're not good at this kind of cultural relics. People are not all-rounders, so how can they be proficient in everything." Tang Qisheng looked at him.

"I... this... you... forget it! I'm telling the truth!" Duan Ping sighed and lowered his head, "I said when I joined the job that I can restore any cultural relics!"

"Cowhide!"

Wang Duoyu couldn't continue acting, and his mouth exploded.

Ning Fan couldn't help but sized him up a few times.

It's ruthless!

There are several types of cultural relics. It is enough for the average person to learn how to restore one thing in a lifetime. Even a master restorer of old masters can only master two.

Dare to say that I can restore all cultural relics, this is not bragging, it is simply bragging about myself.

"How dare you say that?" Tang Qisheng was shocked.

"It's not that the salary and benefits here are high! If I didn't say that, my resume would do that, would I be able to come in!"

Duan Ping patted his thigh.

"For this job, I even asked my family to sell the house in China, and I managed to raise $20 to buy the deputy curator here."

"20 knives? It's not much." Tang Qisheng made a calculation, but he didn't quite understand.

"You have been here for so many years, and you don't even have this money?"

Duan Ping's face turned even redder, and he smiled bitterly twice.

"I used to rent a house in Chinatown to repair old things, so how could I save so much money?"

After speaking, he tugged at his clothes: "I bought this suit with a credit card before I joined the job, and I'm still paying it back."

Tang Qisheng sighed for a while, Duan Ping seemed to have guessed his temperament, and firmly grasped his hand.

"Old Tang, you can't just ignore our relationship, right? You are a master of Gu Bo, if you come forward, you can definitely fix it, right?"

"Let's think about it. After all, I can't decide this matter."

Tang Qisheng didn't rush to agree, he pretended to make a phone call and walked around, but he was looking at Ning Fan's eyes.

Ning Fan nodded.

Tang Qisheng knew it well, and returned to the scene in a short while.

"I asked the courtyard and said that it is possible to take a look, but there is no guarantee that it will be repaired. You are also an appraiser, understand?"

"understand!"

Duan Ping didn't care to say anything else at this time, and when he heard these two words, he dragged Tang Qisheng and the others to the upstairs repair room.

As soon as I rushed through the door, a dozen or so western faces appeared in front of my eyes.

Duan Ping quickly shouted: "Everyone, this is the great restorer I invited from the Xia Kingdom Palace Museum, and now he will lead us to restore the cultural relics! It will definitely be restored successfully!"

Tang Qisheng's expression changed upon hearing this: "Duan Ping, what do you mean? That's not what you said when you came here!"
