Chapter 2293
Li Jiahao nodded to Yang Jing. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that another person who was following Yang Jing asked in surprise, "Master Qiu, why are you here too?"
After hearing what Li Jiahao said, Ye Xiao couldn't help but take another look at that person.
This was a middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses and was well-mannered. At first, Ye Xiao didn't pay much attention to this person, thinking that he was Yang Jing's secretary or something.
But now seeing Li Jiahao's surprised expression, he realized that this person might have some background.
Yang Jing really took great pains to persuade Li Jiahao!
On the other hand, he was a little careless.
The middle-aged man called Master Qiu pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, Mr. Yang brought a copy of the Song Dynasty rubbing of the stele inscription by Liu Gongquan from Longguo, and said he would send it to your house."
"I came here to take advantage of this rubbing of the stele. Mr. Li should not be unwelcome!"
Ye Xiao's feeling was correct. This middle-aged man was indeed quite famous. He was the vice president of the Antiques Association of Country M and an expert in the field of rubbings. Li Jiahao had a special liking for rubbings, so he also valued this middle-aged man very much.
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Li Jiahao's eyes suddenly lit up, and the wrinkles on his face bloomed.
"Mr. Yang, do you really have such a rubbing in your hand?" Li Jiahao looked at Yang Jing excitedly.
Rubbings are equivalent to ancient copies of the text of celebrity calligraphy and painting, not the original works written by celebrities. People who don't understand their value usually look down on rubbings.
However, rubbings have extremely high practical value in the study of calligraphy and ancient culture.
Due to years of wear and tear or weathering, some of the words originally engraved on stone tablets and bronzes are no longer recognizable, while the rubbings left from the same period or a little later retain clear and complete text and graphics.
Yang Jing nodded and said with satisfaction: "I have heard that you, Mr. Li, love ancient rubbings, so I specially asked someone to find a unique copy from China for you to appreciate."
As the leader of the Yang family for three generations, Yang Jing naturally knows the benefits of catering to his preferences. As long as he is willing to spend money and spend time, there is no one he can't handle.
Hearing Yang Jing's words, Wang Chufeng's heart sank again. He was completely outdone by Yang Jing!
He couldn't compare with his family background, and even the gifts he prepared were thrown away by Yang Jing by several streets.
In order to please Mr. Li, Yang Jing even invited a master. This time, not only will Yu Mo look down on him more, but he might even mess up Brother Ye's business!
Ye Xiao's expression at this moment also became solemn. He knew that he and Yang Jing had the same purpose of coming to the Li family. From Li Jiahao's perspective, he might be more inclined to cooperate with Yang Jing!
"Okay, okay! Mr. Yang, Master Qiu, please come in!" Li Jiahao made a gesture of invitation with a smile on his face.
As for Wang Chufeng and Ye Xiao, he couldn't care about them at this time. He just wanted to see the rubbings of inscriptions and calligraphy brought by Yang Jing as soon as possible.
Watching Yang Jing and his group talking and laughing with Li Jiahao into the Li family, Wang Chufeng and Ye Xiao both wanted to retreat.
Ye Xiao thought that this wave was too abrupt and he was not prepared at all. He probably couldn't beat Yang Jing head-on, so he planned to let Anthony introduce Li Jiahao on his behalf.
Wang Chufeng didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his ex-girlfriend again.
However, at this time, Li Yumo said coldly: "What are you two still standing there for?"
"Didn't you see my grandfather just agreed to see you?"
She was still cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and couldn't bear to see Wang Chufeng leave in such a dejected manner.
Wang Chufeng didn't respond in a hurry, but glanced at Ye Xiao. Whether to leave or stay, he would listen to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao exhaled, "Since we are here, we should make the best of it. Chufeng, let's go in and take a look first!"
Ye Xiao was still a little unwilling to leave like this, because he had never lost to Yang Jing before.
Moreover, Li Yumo obviously still had feelings for Wang Xiaoer. Maybe if Wang Xiaoer sacrificed his appearance, he could turn the situation around.
"Yeah!" Wang Chufeng nodded, and then looked at Li Yumo with a smile on his face.
But before he could speak, the latter had already walked into the building with a cold snort.
Ye Xiao helplessly patted Wang Chufeng's shoulder and whispered: "Waiter, I still have some knowledge of women. Miss Li definitely still has a good impression of you."
"If you are also interested, put aside your face and apologize to her sincerely. If you don't have that idea, just pretend I didn't say it."
"Really, really?" Wang Chufeng suddenly raised his head.
Ye Xiao was capturing a womanWang Chufeng still values Ye Xiao's words because his attainments in winning the hearts of others are not lower than his achievements in martial arts.
Ye Xiao did not answer Wang Chufeng's question, but just raised his head and followed Li Yumo with his hands behind his back.
Masters never bother to give explanations.
Not long after, Ye Xiao and Wang Chufeng followed Yang Jing and others and entered the living room on the first floor of the Li family.
At this time, Li Jiahao couldn't wait to ask Yang Jing to take out the rubbings of Liu Gongquan's inscriptions and calligraphy that he mentioned.
Ye Xiao also looked at the few people and saw Yang Jing take a box from his subordinates, take out a roll of carefully framed paintings, and then carefully spread it on the wooden table.
Li Jiahao and Master Qiu stood on the left and right sides with expectations, leaning over to watch.
As Yang Jing unfolded the picture, a piece of white linen paper in the center was revealed.
The white linen paper was printed with ink, and the entire inscription was clearly visible. The ink was not black like the general rubbings, but was slightly blue.
After Yang Jing unfolded the rubbings, he moved to the side and left the position to Li Jiahao and Master Qiu.
The two of them took out magnifying glasses and carefully observed this rare and unique rubbing.
When Ye Xiao was in the No. 1 Prison in the World, he followed Su Jianxin's father Guiyan and learned a lot of antique appraisal knowledge, including this rubbing.
At this time, he also stared closely at the inscriptions on the white linen paper and looked at it.
Although Ye Xiao was standing several meters away from Li Jiahao and Master Qiu, and the former two were holding magnifying glasses in their hands, in terms of the clarity of the rubbings, the two were not necessarily better than Ye Xiao.
After seeing the thickness of the rubbing text and the paper used, Ye Xiao almost concluded that this was a rubbing from the Song Dynasty.
Because it completely matches the materials and rubbing style of Song Dynasty stele rubbings.
Rubbings are not authentic or fake, but their value is distinguished by the age of the rubbing. However, next to this rubbing, there is an inscription by a Ming Dynasty appraiser, which undoubtedly proves the age of this stele.
"It seems that Yang Jing really got the upper hand this time!" Ye Xiao thought to himself.
