Qin Haodong said, "don't worry. It's already ready. When it's taken out, it will satisfy the old man."
Lin Mo said, "can't you show me what you've prepared? You have to be so mysterious."
Qin Haodong said with a smile: "take it out first and there will be no surprise. This is the secret between Tang Tang and me. I can't tell you yet."
The little guy then said, "yes, yes, this is the secret between Baba and me. You can't tell others. Surprise Grandpa."
Lin Mo whitened Qin Haodong and said, "well, let your father and daughter toss and see what tricks you can make."
Because Lin Xiaotian is old and likes to be quiet on weekdays, he built a manor on the outskirts of Jiangnan City and always lives there.
Qin Haodong and Lin Mo came early, but when they arrived at the manor, a succession of guests came. Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Zhigao arrived earlier and greeted the guests at the door.
Lin Pingchao is also very energetic today. Wearing a set of expensive famous brand suits, he follows behind Lin Zhigao and seems to be the core image of the third generation of the Lin family.
When he saw Qin Haodong and Lin Mo coming with the little guy, he first flashed a trace of resentment in his eyes, but soon greeted them with a smile: "sister Tang, you're coming."
Lin Mo said, "am I late?"
"It's neither too late nor too late. I'm just busy here. Sister Tang, go inside and have a rest."
According to Lin Pingchao's idea, he would like to hide Lin Mo Mo so that he can increase his impression in front of many guests. You know, today's guests are all distinguished guests. Many people have great influence in Lin Xiaotian. As long as someone praises him, it will definitely increase his impression in the old man's heart.
Lin Mo also knew that he was careful, but he didn't care. He said, "I have to take care of Tang Tang. It'll be hard for you."
With that, she took Qin Haodong to the manor.
In the hall of the villa, the old man Lin Xiaotian is 80 years old, but he is in good spirits. Today, he is dressed in a bright red Tang costume and sits in the middle of the hall to receive the visit of the visiting guests.
The old man has been operating in Jiangnan for many years and has made a wide range of friends. Today, there are senior officials and dignitaries, as well as elites from all walks of life. The more important of these people were left in the hall, and most of them were given to the nearby auditorium.
"Grandpa, I came to see you!"
After entering the door, the little guy rushed towards Lin Xiaotian happily.
The old man used to sit in the master's chair smoothly, but when he saw the little guy, he immediately smiled. He quickly stood up and held her in his arms: "Tang Tang Tang, why don't you come to see grandpa for so long? I want to die."
"Tang Tang also wants to be Grandpa." The little guy put his arms around the old man's neck, kissed him on the cheek and said, "Grandpa, Baba and Mama are coming too."
"Your father is here?" Lin Xiaotian looked surprised.
"Yes, Baba is coming, right there." The little guy said, pointing back to Qin Haodong.
Lin Xiaotian glanced at Qin Haodong and then looked at Lin Mo with inquiring eyes.
"Grandpa, this is my boyfriend Qin Haodong and Tang Tang Tang's godfather."
Lin Mo's words are few, but she introduces Qin Haodong's identity in an all-round way and explains the questions in the old man's heart.
Qin Haodong came forward and said, "good old man. My name is Qin Haodong. I'm Mo's boyfriend."
"Oh!" Lin Xiaotian nodded and began to look at Qin Haodong with burning eyes. A moment later, he nodded and said softly, "young man is good."
When he spoke, the mood on his face was ancient well, and he didn't know whether he really appreciated Qin Haodong or his polite words.
After saying hello, Qin Haodong and Lin Mo sat next to each other, while the little guy directly depended on the old man's arms.
As time goes on, more and more people come to pay their respects to the old man.
Near noon, there was a commotion outside the door, and two middle-aged people walked into the hall hand in hand. Qin Haodong glanced and saw two old acquaintances. One was Qian Duoduo, President of Jiangnan Jade Association, and the other was Guo Feng, director of Jiangnan antique appraisal center and expert in antique appraisal.
Although these two people are not official administrative officials, they are absolutely respected and authoritative figures in the antique and jade circles. Therefore, as soon as they appeared, they immediately surrounded many people and followed them.
Master Lin Xiaotian has three hobbies in his life, jade, antiques, calligraphy and painting. In addition, he has operated the Lin Group for many years, so he has a very good relationship with Qian Duoduo and Guo Feng. He belongs to an old friend for many years. After seeing the two of them enter the door, he quickly got up to meet them.
Asked the old man how he was. Qian Duoduo and Guo Fenggang were about to take their seats, but they saw Qin Haodong sitting next to them.
Qian Duoduo strode to Qin Haodong and said with a surprised look on his face, "doctor Qin, you're here, too."
Guo Feng also followed up. After taking the Xuande stove back last time, he found many experts to identify it again, and finally determined that it was the real product of Xuande stove.
Because of this, he admired Qin Haodong's ability to identify antiques, and came to say hello to Qin Haodong respectfully.
Both Qian Duoduo and Guo Feng are experts in the industry. They are Taishan Beidou level figures and well deserved God of wealth. However, it was unexpected that such two super cow breaking characters should be so respectful to this young man, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the guests about Qin Haodong.
Lin Xiaotian was also very clear to his two old friends that he was usually a person with eyes higher than the top, but now he paid so much attention to his new grandson-in-law, which made him curious and added a layer of deep meaning to Qin Haodong's eyes.
After saying hello, Qian Duoduo and Guo Feng simply sat around Qin Haodong and started the exchange of jade and antiques with him.
Qin Haodong doesn't know much about these two things. He distinguishes jadeite stones and antiques entirely by aura. Of course, this kind of thing can't be explained clearly, so he basically doesn't talk much. It's what Qian Duoduo and Guo Feng say.
But because of this, he brought the two people a more profound feeling.
Time passed quickly in the busy. At 11:30 noon, Lin Mo helped Lin Xiaotian to the birthday banquet hall. There were more than 20 tables in the auditorium, and there was a big word "Shou" in the middle. As soon as Lin Xiaotian entered the auditorium, applause broke out immediately.
After the guests were seated, the host invited by the Lin family spent a lot of money to start a sensational performance. He introduced the life story of the old man with both voice and emotion. Next, the younger generation of the Lin family congratulated the old man on his birthday and presented their own gifts.
There are no clear regulations on this kind of birthday celebration, but generally speaking, it is from the outside to the inside, from the long to the young. The distant relatives of the Lin family first offer birthday gifts, and finally it is the turn of the Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Zhigao brothers.
"Dad, I wish you a long life and all the best."
After Lin Zhiyuan finished, he asked someone to send him the gift he prepared. It is a very exquisite evergreen. Although it is not expensive, it has far-reaching implications. It is most suitable for the elderly to celebrate their birthday.
Then came Lin Zhigao. After saying a few auspicious words, he gave a longevity plaque.
According to the truth, it should be Lin Mo's turn next. But Lin Pingchao came to Lin Xiaotian first and said, "Grandpa, grandson, I wish you a long life, such as the East China Sea and the south mountain."
With that, he waved to the bodyguard behind him. The bodyguard sent up a brocade box more than a foot high.
The box is inlaid with gold and jade. It seems that the packaging alone is valuable, which immediately attracted everyone's attention and wanted to see what was in the box.
Lin Pingchao didn't seem to move fast in order to arouse everyone's curiosity. He slowly unpacked the brocade box and gently took out a jade Buddha about 20 cm high from it.
The material of this jade Buddha is crystal white, delicate, moist and almost flawless. It looks like the fat meat of a newly cut sheep. Its luster is like condensed oil. At first glance, it is a good thing of great value.
"Oh, my God, lanolin jade, this is the best lanolin jade..."
"Lanolin jade is not strange, but such a large jade Buddha of lanolin jade is valuable..."
"Worthy of being the eldest young master of the Lin family, it's really hard to wish the old man's birthday. How much does such a jade Buddha cost..."
Hearing the comments around, Lin Pingchao felt proud at the corners of his mouth and brought the Jade Buddha to Lin Xiaotian with both hands.
"Grandpa, it is said that jade can support people. If you put this jade Buddha in your bedroom, you will live a long life."
Lin Zhigao hurriedly followed him and said, "Pingchao has long kept the old man's birthday in mind. This is the Jade Buddha he bought at the auction for 12 million in order to celebrate the old man's birthday."
Master Lin Xiaotian liked jade and antiques best in his life. When he saw the mutton fat Jade Buddha, he immediately smiled with joy. He received it and played it seriously. After a while, he sighed: "good thing! What a good thing! It's really good thing! It's really intentional to keep the tide flat."
After that, he turned to Qian Duoduo and said, "President Qian, how about holding your palm to see this jade Buddha?"
Qian Duoduo is a leading figure in the jade industry in the south of the Yangtze River and an expert in jade identification. He took the Jade Buddha in his hand and watched it for four or five minutes. Then he said, "it's really good. It's a superior lanolin jade, and the carving is exquisite and lifelike. It looks like it was made by a famous master.
If I look at it, the value of this jade Buddha should be between 20 million and 30 million. Brother Lin can buy it with 12 million. It's a big bargain. "
Lin Pingchao said: "it was a small private auction at that time. Other people would not bid at this price. Otherwise, I would buy it for Grandpa's birthday, no matter how expensive it is."
This guy is not only gloomy, but also good at flattering and unknowingly expressing filial piety.
After Qian Duoduo played with the Jade Buddha, he didn't return it to Lin Xiaotian. Instead, he handed it to Qin Haodong: "Mr. Qin, please help me grow my eyes and see if what I just identified is right."
After saying this, everyone's eyes focused on Qin Haodong. I don't understand how this young man can make Qian Duoduo so respectful. He is the president of the Jade Association. Is this young man better at identifying jade than him?
Qin Haodong took the jade and looked at it from top to bottom. Lin Pingchao said proudly, "what's up? Can I make sense of my jade Buddha?"
The purpose of his report today is to show off at the old man's birthday banquet and suppress Lin Mo Mo, so he spent so much money. At the same time, he is also very confident in the Jade Buddha of Lanzhi jade and believes that he will be able to please the old man.
Unexpectedly, Qin Haodong smiled at him, then raised the Jade Buddha in his hand and fell to the ground. With a click, the goat fat Jade Buddha worth more than 10 million immediately became a fragment of the ground.
