The Urban Medical Martial Immortal-Chapter 1545 - 1538: Please Behave Yourself
"Plucking Plum Blossoms and Climbing Mountain Painting," is labeled as Wuming!
The old and worn wooden label next to the easel indicates that these words have been carved for a long time.
In other words, in the past, the painting was neglected!
Lin Tian looked at Lin Yusheng in surprise, "Are you sure that painting is by the ancient, famous painter Lin Aiyin you mentioned? This shop seems to be at least a century old, and they couldn’t identify it. How can you be so sure? The top is marked as Wuming!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Yusheng wants to give Old Sir Lin an antique painting, which caught Lin Tian by surprise.
This guy is typically a laid-back type of dandy, obsessed with luxury cars, women, drinking, and so forth.
Unexpected.
Giving a gift can be this stylish! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"Big brother! Even an old hunter can die in their own traps! Those old folks who appraise antiques can also make mistakes!"
Lin Yusheng glanced around and seeing no one nearby, whispered to Lin Tian, "This ’Plucking Plum Blossoms and Climbing Mountain Painting,’ I saw it in a hodgepodge of historical articles—it was a small replica, with a detailed explanation of its origins. Supposedly, on Central Continent Mei Mountain, Lin Aiyin personally witnessed a high-level Daoist adept plucking plum blossoms and climbing a mountain, his body like a graceful bird before disappearing!"
A high-level Daoist adept?
Central Continent Mei Mountain?
Lin Tian, surprised, pondered briefly, then said, "Since you’re sure, go ahead and buy it! I’d also like to see what exactly is depicted in that ’Plucking Plum Blossoms and Climbing Mountain Painting!’ But where is it? It better not have been sold!"
"It’s strange, it shouldn’t have been! Normally, no one looks at such a thing! Not only is it Wuming, but the price is set at over a million, only a fool would buy it!"
Lin Yusheng looked around the display for quite a while and couldn’t find it, so he shook his head and said, "Brother, let’s ask the person in charge at the front!"
Lin Tian nodded and followed Lin Yusheng.
This guy clearly frequents this place and is familiar with the vast store layout.
They soon reached the front desk, where a woman wearing a white floral cheongsam stood, around thirty years old, with a radiant smile and full of charm.
"Sister Ai, you’re here today!"
Lin Yusheng greeted the woman sitting behind the desk.
"Young Master Lin, here again looking for antiques to play with?"
Sister Ai recognized Lin Yusheng and greeted warmly, "Let me get you a glass of water!"
"No, no need!"
Lin Yusheng quickly waved his hand and urgently said, "Sister Ai, the painting rack in the inner miscellaneous section, where’s the ’Plucking Plum Blossoms and Climbing Mountain Painting?’ Who bought it?"
"’Plucking Plum Blossoms and Climbing Mountain Painting?’ Not many people ask about that. But just now, a beautiful woman took a fancy to it and is negotiating with Boss Shen inside!"
Sister Ai’s eyes lit up slightly as she walked out from behind, speaking as she walked, "Last time I saw you asking about this painting’s origin, we didn’t know it either. But recently, Boss Shen invited another authentication expert who discovered it was actually an ultimate masterpiece by the ancient genius painter Lin Aiyin! If you want to buy it, I can take you inside to bid against others!"
Damn!
It was recognized!
And, there’s competition!
How much money will it take!
Lin Yusheng felt a jolt in his heart, clenched his fists, and then touched his pocket, his face revealing a bit of bitterness.
But, at this point, he had to go.
Leaving directly in embarrassment would be even more humiliating!
Besides, he had already decided to give this to his grandfather and couldn’t change it at the last minute, given that he is the son of the Lin Family, he didn’t believe the potential buyer wouldn’t give him some face.
However.
A painting that initially went for over a million, now known to be by Lin Aiyin, would surely start at tens of millions!
"If worse comes to worst, selling the car is an option!"
Lin Yusheng secretly made up his mind.
Thinking of this, he suddenly recalled something, as if remembering someone.
He turned back, gave Lin Tian a mysterious wink, and said with a cheerful smile, "Big brother, I’m calling someone over, let’s see who it is!"
Seeing this guy smile so foolishly, Lin Tian blanked for a moment, then laughed, "Is it your girlfriend? Not bad, introduce her to us then!"
After all, with the family ties, Lin Yusheng, despite being a bit indulgent in fun, was a good person overall.
Getting along, aside from being a bit playful, he was quite heartfelt and sincere.
His girlfriend should be good too!
"I’ll call Little Yu now! Let’s bring her home to meet grandpa! I’ve mentioned her to grandpa before!"
Lin Yusheng, full of excited and joyful silliness, quickly took out his phone, dialed a number as he walked.
Soon.
The call went through.
But Lin Yusheng quickly hung up.
He looked towards the back of the Ancient Pavilion in surprise, "How is Little Yu in there!"
At this time, Sister Ai, who was leading the way, turned back and glanced, with a beaming smile, "I forgot to tell you earlier, the lady who came before seemed to be the exact same one who visited several times with Young Master Lin! After she arrived, she went straight for that ’Plucking Plum Blossoms and Climbing Mountain Painting!’ Is she your girlfriend?"
"Yes!"
Lin Yusheng instinctively nodded, then laughed aloud, "Earlier she agreed to come home with me to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday. Seems like she wants to buy that painting on her own for a surprise!"
"Young Master Lin is truly fortunate!"
Sister Ai commented enviously, as she continued leading them.
Walking behind, Lin Tian couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.
It seems Little Yu is filial, even buying it privately.
Whether it’s with her own money or money given by Lin Yusheng doesn’t matter!
What’s important is that she is a good person!
The Ancient Pavilion was neither big nor small, divided into a front store and a backyard.
There was a central hall and a small passage corridor in between.
After the corridor, a quiet serene backyard appeared, centered around a pavilion with a tea table and sofa for guests.
Here, it was filled with ancient charm yet not lacking in quiet luxury.
Inside the pavilion, three people already stood.
Two elders, both wearing reading glasses, appreciating a painting on the table inside the pavilion.
Opposite them, a girl in a spaghetti-strapped dress sat, long hair draping over her shoulders, fair arms beside her, and long, beautiful legs below—she was a certifiable beauty!
"It’s Little Yu!"
Seeing the girl in the strapped dress, Lin Yusheng’s eyes lit up, shouting with excitement.
"Young Master Lin, you go and meet Boss Shen and the others on your own, I must head back to the front to continue my work!"
Sister Ai stopped at the courtyard entrance, smiling at Lin Yusheng before nodding to Lin Tian, then swaying her hips as she turned to leave.
Lin Tian followed Lin Yusheng as they stepped into the pavilion.
"Boss Shen!"
Lin Yusheng entered, greeting the elder in an old-fashioned Zhongshan suit.
This elder, was Boss Shen Qianshan, the owner of the Ancient Pavilion!
"Haha... Young Master Lin, you’ve come!"
Shen Qianshan recognized Lin Yusheng and greeted him warmly, "Have a seat!"
"Right, let me introduce, this is Elder Chu, a famous antique appraiser in South Sea region!"
Lin Yusheng quickly greeted the elder in the Tang suit.
Immediately, he walked over to the girl, saying, "Little Yu, you actually sneaked here on your own! To buy a gift for grandpa, we had agreed on it before, yet you didn’t tell me, being mischievous again..."
As he walked over, Lin Yusheng tried to put an arm around the girl’s waist.
At the same time, he turned back to Lin Tian and said, "Big brother, this is my girlfriend, Baao Yuyu!"
But the girl furrowed her brows, quickly dodged Lin Yusheng’s hand, and said coldly, "Lin Yusheng, please respect yourself! Don’t act so intimately! Besides, who told you I’m here to buy something for your grandfather?"
