Chapter 148 Liu Family Father and Son

Arriving at the Antique Street in Pingyi County, it is a small county-sized antique street, but it is quite popular. Although this day is not a holiday, the street is still very lively.

There are old men wandering around with bird cages, men with glasses squatting seriously beside the stalls looking at things, and even young people who come to shop together, but they pay more attention to those pet flower and bird shops.

As soon as Xu Yunhan walked into the Antique Street, she felt cordial and comfortable. It seemed that she now regarded the antique industry as an inseparable part of her own life.After all, she is now relying on this line of work to maintain her life, which is the foundation of her life.

She looked around casually along the road, whether it was long or short, she couldn't quite remember the location of Jiyaxuan, so she found it after asking several passers-by and stall owners.

Looking up at the signboard with the three characters Jiyaxuan written in Xiaozhuan, the outside of the shop is still as simple and elegant as in the impression.

"Hello, take a look."

Walking into Jiyaxuan, looking around, I didn't see the figure of Mr. Liu. Instead, there was a middle-aged uncle lying on an upside-down chaise longue, with his legs crossed.He was still holding a book of unknown content in his hand. He saw that the outside of the book was wrapped with an old calendar. When he heard someone entering the store, he only glanced at it. Seeing that it was a young woman, he quickly turned his eyes back to the book. On, said something lightly.

On the other side, Xu Yunhan guessed with a bit of mischievous interest, and purposely wrapped the book cover. I don't know if it was to protect the book, or because the contents of the book were too embarrassing to see others.

The middle-aged man greeted customers in a non-salty way, which reminded Xu Yunhan that the last time she came to Ji Yaxuan, that old Liu was also like this. She encountered a lot of neglect in this business, so she has been able to Calmly, he asked,

"Excuse me, is old Mr. Liu Xiangwen there?"

Liu Dong was very surprised that this unfamiliar young woman came to find his father. His father's circle had been active in the antique collection circle since he was very young, and he knew all the people his father usually associates with.So who is this woman in front of me?

At this time, Liu Dong sat up from the lying position, put down the book in his hand, and looked at Xu Yunhan seriously.

"I am his son, may I ask who you are? Is there anything I can do with my father?"

"It's like this. I sold a snuff bottle to Mr. Liu some time ago. At the same time, I talked a lot about antiques with Mr. Liu. I'm still new to these antiques. I have benefited a lot from what Mr. Liu said. , but later I went back to BJ when I had something urgent, this time I had time to go back to my hometown and I thought about visiting Mr. Liu again.”

It seems that he is the boss of Ji Yaxuan, Xu Yunhan thought to himself, and then explained the purpose of coming very humbly and politely.

"It turns out that he bought the Ming Dynasty red coral snuff bottle from you. Come on, come on, the little girl sat down and said. I will call the old man right away. He is idle recently. I guess he is teaching parrots at home right now." I am reading Tang poems."

Xu Yunhan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Liu Dong to become enthusiastic immediately after knowing that she was the one who sold the snuff bottle, completely different from the idler who was perfunctory just now.

There are too many smiles on that face, it looks a little scary, just now he was an upright middle-aged uncle, why does he have a wretched temperament now...

Xu Yunhan laughed twice, thanked her and sat on the chair Liu Dong moved to her side, suddenly didn't know what to say, so she choked up and said,
"Teaching parrots, reciting Tang poems? If it is so difficult, can parrots learn it?"

Liu Dong, who had quickly finished calling his father, picked up the purple sand pot in his hand and poured her a cup of tea.
"Isn't that right? I also told him not to be a parrot, but the old man didn't listen. Every day he stood in front of the cage and read that Tang poem to the parrot, which made the family's ears callused. The main reason is that he always An old friend recently got a parrot that can read poetry from somewhere, and the two of them have been competing for most of their lives, so my father had to compare, and even said that he wanted to train a parrot that can read Tang poetry .”

Xu Yunhan couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, this old man is quite interesting, so he couldn't help asking curiously,
"Which Tang poem does Mr. Liu plan to teach the parrot?"

"Wang Wei's "Send Yuan Er Envoy Anxi". Hey... the old man must be strong and stubborn." Liu Dong sighed helplessly, spreading his hands.

"..."

Cough~ What kind of Tang poem is this? As an educated person but with poor grades all year round, Xu Yunhan said he is not familiar with it, but what is certain is that this poem is definitely better than Li Bai's "Moonlight in front of the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground" Much harder to recite.

It seems that being a parrot is not easy these days. If you want to do well, you also have to study hard and accept cramming education.

"Hehe, Mr. Liu's life is really leisurely and leisurely." Xu Yunhan said after holding back for a long time.

Liu Dong waved his hand and said very disrespectfully to his father, "It's because he is old and has nothing to do all day, so he has to find something to work on."

"Who do you say is getting old?! I still have the strength to beat you, old man. Is it itchy today?!"

As soon as Liu Xiangwen walked into the store, he heard what his son said, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him, and walked in at a significantly faster pace.

"Oh, Dad, you came here so quickly today, hurry up, I'll move you a chair, why don't you take a rest on this chaise longue chair, it's absolutely comfortable, I just received it yesterday, it's made of mahogany in the early Qing Dynasty Furniture, no kidding!"

Liu Dong, who was personally caught, saw that his old man was coming, and hurried up to support him while talking, with an incomparably doglike expression.

Mr. Liu snorted, didn't continue to hold on, and walked over with Liu Dong's hand in his hands like an emperor.

Xu Yunhan, who was watching from the sidelines, felt silently cold. The original image of Mr. Liu as an expert in the industry collapsed, but he still did not forget to say hello on his face.
"Hello, Mr. Liu. Do you still remember me?"

"Of course I remember," Mr. Liu said, sitting down on the chair his son pulled over, "Snuff bottle girl."

Snuff bottle...Girl, fortunately, what was sold to him was not an ancient toilet and footbath.

Xu Yunhan sneered, "You can call me Xiaohan, I just want to come and see you when I go back to my hometown."

"Hehe, um, Xiaohan, right? Old man, I am grateful for your kindness. There are not many young people who respect and love the elderly like this." Liu Xiangwen glanced at Liu Dong when he said this, and turned his eyes away when he saw his flattering smile. , asked,
"You've been doing well recently, haven't you?"

Xu Yunhan smiled calmly as if he hadn't seen the interaction between this funny father and son, "It's pretty good, now I'm in the antique business with my uncle, and he also owns a shop to do antique business, so I'll just Follow along."

"Oh? That's pretty good. Is it in BJ?" Hearing that it was a colleague, Liu Dong became interested and interjected.
