Chapter 413

Zhang Wengang didn't care about other things, he just asked:

"Mr. Jiang, you haven't answered my question yet."

Jiang Yuan: "What's the problem?"

"Do you still mean what you said?"

Jiang Yuan said angrily:

"I really don't know what kind of bad luck you got."

"Those who want to be apprentices or not, put it aside for now. You can stay with me while I'm in Jiangdu."

"As for whether or not I should accept you as my disciple, we will discuss this later. After all, being a disciple is equivalent to half a son. I still need to know more about your character."

"After all, you were able to kick Jiang Cong into the hospital, which shows that your character is not calm enough."

Zhang Wen just had black lines all over his head, "Uncle Ge told me that you used to like kicking others the most..."

Jiang Yuan: "..."

"You're just making excuses," Zhang Wengang muttered, "but I'm not afraid. Sooner or later, I will get your approval."

Jiang Yuan said 'hmm', stretched out his hand to stop a taxi, and said to the driver:

"Go to Nanshan."

"Nanshan? That's not close. I said you went so far... Huh? President Jiang Yuanjiang!"

"President Jiang, I saw you at the antique exchange meeting this morning."

The driver gave a thumbs up, "That's so domineering."

Jiang Yuan smiled, waved his hand and said:

"You are from Jiangdu. Why don't you speak for Jiang Ming and his son? Instead, you praise me?"

The driver smiled and said, "Why should I speak for them?"

The driver looked at Zhang Wengang, who was sitting next to Jiang Yuan, and sighed:

"Kid, don't take it too seriously. Sometimes you will always meet some shameless people."

"This time, our Jiangdu Antiques Circle has lost face. People like Jiang Ming are not worthy of being the president of the Jiangdu Antiques Association."

Jiang Yuan smiled, "Since brother, you are also a member of Jiangdu's antique circle, you should be able to guess why I went to Nanshan, right?"

The driver thought for a moment and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Isn't President Jiang going to visit Mr. Tao Yuan, the vice president of our Jiangdu Antiques Association?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "If it's Mr. Li Heng or Mr. Tao Yuan, who do you think is more suitable to be the president of the Jiangdu Antiques Association?"

"This is it~"

The driver thought for a while, shook his head and said:

"Whether it is Mr. Li Heng or Mr. Tao Yuan, both of them are highly respected seniors in our Jiangdu antique circle."

"If you ask me, either of the two of them can be the president of the Jiangdu Antiques Association."

"It's just that senior Tao Yuan doesn't like the excitement and rarely leaves Nanshan. Now he basically cultivates his moral character. I guess he might not be willing to ask him to be the president of our Jiangdu Antiques Association."

"Eh? What do you mean by that? Is it possible that Jiang Ming is no longer the president?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and did not explain.

An hour later, the car stopped outside a village.

Jiang Yuan and Zhang Wen just walked into the village. After some inquiries, they came to the foot of a mountain at the end of the village.

This mountain is the famous Nanshan in Jiangdu. It is not a scenic spot. The reason why it is called Nanshan is because there is an allusion to this place.

It is said that many poets lived in seclusion here in ancient times, and one of them even wrote a famous line such as "Grow beans under the southern mountain, and return home from hoeing with a moonlight."

Tao Yuan chose such a place to live, which shows that he really wanted to live in seclusion.

There is a small farmyard in front, with three blue-tiled adobe houses side by side, but they do not look shabby, but blend in well with the surrounding environment.

A circle of green bamboos was planted in front of and behind the house, enclosing a quiet yard. The yard was kept very quiet, with many potted flowers and plants placed there.

In the yard, an old man was sitting at the stone table, concentrating on a book in his hand.

Not far away, a kind-faced old woman was carrying a small bamboo basket with two lively carps in it.

Jiang Yuan felt the silence around him, and when he heard the rustling of the bamboo shoots in the breeze, he suddenly felt relaxed and happy.

Zhang Wengang couldn't help but said:

"It's so beautiful here."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Being beautiful is secondary, the main thing is being quiet and comfortable."

Taoyuan in the yard heard Jiang Yuan's conversation and looked up.

"Two children, are you here to see me?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, smiled and clasped his fists:

"I'm the president of the Binhai Antiques Association, Jiang Yuan, here to visit my senior."

Tao Yuan looked calm and nodded gently, "Please come in."

Jiang Yuan then led Zhang Wengang into the yard, but his eyes glanced at the houses not far away.

There is a basement below the bedroom on the far side. What is stored in it should be Tao Yuan's collection. Judging from the dazzling light, they are definitely not ordinary objects.

Jiang Yuan sat down opposite Tao Yuan and said with a smile:

"Senior is so elegant. If I could have a yard like this, I would definitely be reluctant to go out."

Tao Yuan smiled slightly, "Such a yard is not valuable. Since you are Binhai

It’s not easy to be the president of the Antiques Association?”

"You haven't, it only means that you are not willing to be ordinary."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Maybe."

"You came to see me for something?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Jiangdu Antiques Association held an antiques exchange conference and invited many antiques associations to participate. Seniors should know about this, right?"

"I know, so what?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said:

"Some very interesting things happened at the exchange meeting."

Jiang Yuan told the story completely.

But Tao Yuan didn't have any mood swings and remained very calm.

"I don't understand, what does Mr. Jiang mean by telling me this?"

Jiang Yuan said straight to the point:

"I don't want to see the estrangement between Jiangdu antique circle and Binhai antique circle continue."

"To change this, we need to make changes from the president of Jiangdu Antiques Association."

"I think Jiang Ming is not suitable to be the president of this association."

Tao Yuan nodded, "He is indeed not suitable, what about everything?"

"So, I came to visit senior. If senior is willing to come forward, Jiangdu Antiques Association will definitely develop better."

Tao Yuan shook his head, "It's useless for you to come to me about this matter."

"You should go find Li Heng, he is more suitable than me."

"Although I have the false reputation of being the vice president of the Jiangdu Antiques Association, I actually don't care about the development of the Jiangdu Antiques Association. I only care about living a peaceful life for myself and my wife."

"Li Heng is ambitious, and he has a greater sense of responsibility for the Jiangdu Antiques Association."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "When I came here, I thought of senior's answer."

"Then why do you need to make this trip?"

Jiang Yuan smiled, "As an insider in the antiques circle, I know that a senior like me lives here in seclusion, so how can I not come to visit."

With that said, Jiang Yuan took out a fish-shaped jade pendant from his arms and placed it on the stone table.

"Senior, do you know what this is?"

This fish-shaped jade pendant was left by Jiang Yuan's father, Jiang Zhe, in the family land of Mizonggujiang.

Tao Yuan took a look and frowned slightly.

Although he lived in seclusion, he did not dissipate his interest in collecting.

Out of curiosity, he picked up the jade pendant.

He looked at it confidently and said softly:

"This style should be from the ancient times."
