Chapter 032 The Eighth Birthday
When Shen Qiu and Xie Jingwen stepped into the restaurant, they attracted the attention of everyone present and immediately became the focus of the scene.
It has been nearly half a year since Shen Qiu was kicked out of the family. People clearly remember how miserable Shen Qiu was when he left and was kicked out. He lost tens of millions of property and was burdened with millions of foreign debts. how miserable...
Everyone thought that Shen Qiu was useless, completely reduced to the lowest level of society's waste.
After six months, Shen Qiu reappeared in people's field of vision. He was so handsome and high-spirited. The most unbelievable thing was that Shen Qiu actually got involved with Xie Jingwen, the boss of Xuanbaozhai?
"Oh my god! Is this the Shen Qiu we know? We haven't seen each other for a few months, why does he seem to be a different person! Look at him today, the brightest boy in the audience is simply better than before. Young Master Shen still needs to be beautiful!"
"Yes! And Xie Jingwen? The boss of Xuanbaozhai? What kind of shit luck did Shen Qiu have? Even Xie Jingwen became his woman?"
"Hey! You don't understand this! The reason why Shen Qiu is so high-profile today is nothing more than to take advantage of the opportunity of the old man's [-]th birthday to regain the old man's approval and return to the Shen family. Anyone who is not a fool can see that he The purpose, in fact, his essence has always been that pee, a dog can't change eating shit! After all, he is an out-and-out prodigal son!"
The old man of the Shen family was wearing a festive Tang suit and was accompanied by several close friends, including the eldest son Shen Zhongyue, who was also Shen Jin's father and Shen Qiu's nominal uncle.
Shen Zhongyue is only in his 50s and already bald, with thin cheeks and sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks. He has always looked down on Shen Qiu. In his eyes, Shen Qiu has been shorter than his own son since he was a child, and he is not worthy of inheriting the Shen family. heritage.
"Dad, I didn't expect that! Shen Qiu has the cheek to come!"
The old housekeeper echoed: "Old man, I heard that Shen Qiu's eyesight has improved during this time, and he picked up several big leaks one after another. Even Mr. Song and Mr. Zheng praised him very much. He is now a member of Xuan Bao Zhai. Master Jianbao, the beautiful girl next to him is the boss of Xuanbaozhai, Xie Jingwen!"
Shen Zhongyue immediately expressed dissatisfaction: "Master! Seeing is believing, hearing is not hearing. It's not like you don't know what kind of virtue Shen Qiu is, and he can become a master of appraising treasures in just a few months? Why did he become a master of appreciating treasures? Only he himself knows what is going on here!"
The butler smiled and said: "It's okay, let's test Shen Qiu on the spot later, we are all experienced, and you can tell how much he weighs at a glance!"
"En." The old man was silent for a long time and finally said: "I have also heard some rumors about him recently, and there is news that Li Jialong is going to meet him in person. I don't know if it is true or not! Anyway, the old man thinks it is a bit exaggerated. Your face is bigger than mine? I can't invite Li Jialong?"
There is a long mahogany table in the center of the hall. On the long table, the antique gifts specially given to the guests, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, miscellaneous items, piled up into a conspicuous hill.
Shen Zhongyue pointed to those treasures and said: "Housekeeper, before Shen Qiu didn't even know Yuan Datou, what do you expect him to know about porcelain, calligraphy and painting? If you don't believe me, let's make a bet, if he can pick out the most expensive gift among them, even if he has If I lose, I will give you the Jinsibao fan in the store! If you lose, give me the ancestral jade finger wrench in your hand!"
While talking, Shen Qiu and Xie Jingwen had already come to the front, and they both bowed to Old Man Shen: "Grandpa, I'm back!"
The old man nodded expressionlessly and said, "Well, come back as soon as you come back, and find a seat for yourself later."
"Shen Qiu!" The big steward asked: "I heard that you are now the Master Appreciator of Xuan Baozhai? Is there such a thing?"
Before Shen Qiu could speak, Xie Jingwen answered first: "Yes, old man! Shen Qiu has been working at my place for almost a week. In this week alone, he found antiques worth more than 1000 million for Xuan Baozhai. Tourmaline hairpins! Qianlong's copybooks! The wooden brackets of the Imperial Golden Gate, and Huang Xing's "Picture of Running Bulls"! These are all discovered by Shen Qiu!"
"Oh? These are all excavated by Shen Qiu?" The old man's snow-white brows frowned. Hearing Xie Jingwen say these things, it feels like telling a story from the Arabian Nights.
Shen Jin tossed his blond hair and said disdainfully: "Thank you boss! If you say that Cao Donglai discovered these treasures, I still believe it, but if you say that Shen Qiu discovered them until he was killed! This outsider knows..."
Uncle Shen Zhongyue pointed to the congratulatory gifts on the long table: "That's all, Shen Qiu! Today is the old man's [-]th birthday, so you can borrow flowers to present Buddha to everyone. I made a bet with the old housekeeper just now and asked you to choose the most expensive one among the congratulatory gifts." , if you can pick it out, I will lose! Otherwise, the butler will have to lose the wrench in his hand to me!"
After saying this, the guests immediately became interested, and they all gathered around and booed: "Yes, yes! Young Master Shen choose one to try! Aren't you the master master of Xuan Baozhai? This matter should not be difficult for you Bar!"
"I also said that Li Jialong, the tycoon of Hong Kong Island, invited you to meet in person, and show us some real skills!"
Only the old man remained silent, he hated Shen Qiu so much, but he hoped that Shen Qiu could make progress today.
"Shen Qiu!"
Xie Jingwen winked at Shen Qiu: "Use your actual actions to block the mouths of these people, and don't let them look down on you! I support you!"
Shen Qiu came to the long table in response: "Okay! Since everyone is interested, then Shen Qiu will show his ugly face."
All kinds of expensive congratulatory gifts were neatly placed on the table, including some precious porcelain calligraphy and paintings, and even fine works from the four famous kilns of the Song Dynasty.
"These gifts come in a variety of varieties, each with its own merits. It is difficult for me to pick out the one with the highest valuation among them. Why don't I pick out a special gift to appreciate. Everyone here is an expert in this field. If Shen Qiu I’m wrong, please correct me.”
Both Shen Zhongyue and his son laughed immediately: "Shen Qiu! After all, you are still a little timid. It's okay, just pick a congratulatory gift at random. If you can tell the truth, then I will lose! "
"Cousin! In fact, we all know your situation very well. It's understandable that you really can't tell. Anyway, it's not the first time you've been embarrassing yourself, hahahaha!"
There was bursts of ridicule at the scene, except for Xie Jingwen, no one was optimistic about Shen Qiu. In their eyes, Shen Qiu was no different from a clown, and appreciating antiques was at best his clumsy performance.
"Shen Qiu? What's the matter with you?"
Xie Jingwen's forehead was dripping with sweat. Based on what she knew about Shen Qiu, it would be a piece of cake to pick out the one with the highest valuation among this pile of congratulatory gifts. Let alone Shen Qiu, even she could see The most eye-catching thing in this pile of congratulatory gifts is one of the colorful platters from Longquan Kiln.
Because the multicolored plate is placed in the most conspicuous place, the glaze color, patina, and overall shape are all high-quality goods. This must be a congratulatory gift from some important person or old man. According to the current market price, it is estimated that At least the value is around 600 million.
Although the rest of the antiques are not lacking in high-quality goods, they are still a little behind the multicolored plate of the Song Dynasty Longquan Kiln.
"Shen Qiu? The colorful plate! It's the colorful plate in the middle, it's the most expensive!"
However, Shen Qiu didn't seem to hear it, and reached out to pick up a golden Buddha from the pile of congratulatory gifts.
This is a seated statue of Sakyamuni Buddha. It is about the size of a normal person's palm. It weighs a lot in the hand as a whole, and it is extremely dazzling when placed in a congratulatory gift.
On the base of the golden Buddha, there is a clear inscription, the year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Yuan.
"Oh! Shen Qiu actually chose this Buddha statue of Shakyamuni?"
"Isn't this a congratulatory gift from Shen Zhongyue to the old man? This Shen Qiu still has a brain, knowing that the Buddha statue from Shen Zhongyue will definitely not be cheap!"
To a certain extent, no one knows this Kangxi Golden Buddha better than Shen Zhongyue, and the coincidence of chance added a bit of fun to this bet.
