This scene made Su's mother secretly angry. She winked at her daughter frequently, trying to make her look more dignified so as not to be looked down upon by Chu Shiwen.

However, Su Yue's attention was completely attracted by Chu Yang, and she didn't notice her mother's movements at all.

"Ahem."

Mother Su had no choice but to cough twice to attract everyone's attention to herself.

Chu Yang had just listened to Su Qinghua and his father exchanging business bragging rights, and felt that the heat was almost there. If they continued talking about the international situation, they were afraid that they would talk about the international situation, so he took the initiative to pick up the gift box next to him and put it on the table, saying: "Uncle and aunt "This is a gift from my father to you two. They are all worthless things. I don't know if my uncle and aunt like them."

Among the two gift boxes, the one given to Su Qinghua was a Duan Inkstone, which looked ordinary and had no highlights.

The gift given to Su's mother is the limited edition cosmetics gift box recently launched by Auchan. A total of fifty sets have been issued. Only rich and powerful ladies can get it. It can be said to be a status symbol.

Su Qinghua originally wanted to refuse, but when his eyes fell on the inkstone in Chu Yang's hand, his eyes suddenly became surprised.

"Is this, is this a royal thing?"

Su Qinghua adjusted his glasses and asked in shock.

"Uncle also studies antiques?"

Chu Yang hurriedly handed over the Duan Inkstone and looked at Su Qinghua in surprise.

This Fang Duan Inkstone was indeed a royal item of the Tang Dynasty. The inkstone was also engraved with the pattern of "Mingming Jianbi, Five Stars and Linked Pearls". Unexpectedly, Su Qinghua recognized it at a glance.

Su Qinghua took the Duan Inkstone and observed it carefully for a moment before saying: "It is indeed a genuine product. I went to the capital for a meeting a few years ago and saw a Duan Inkstone from the Tang Dynasty at an old friend's place. However, his side was smaller than this one. It should have been used by princes. The bottom of this square is also engraved with the word "imperial", which must be a special thing for the emperor. "

Chu Shiwen nodded and said, "Shuji is right. This Fang Duan Inkstone is indeed a royal object. According to research, it is most likely the Fang Duan Inkstone given to Di Renjie by Wu Zetian."

"Really?"

Su Qinghua said in surprise: "If it is true, that would be incredible. It is said that in the third year of the Holy Calendar, Wu Zetian rewarded Di Renjie with a precious inkstone. After Di Renjie received the reward, he learned about the hard work of mining inkstones and stonework, so he petitioned Empress Wu to order a reduction of the tribute. Since then, Duan inkstones handed down from the Tang Dynasty have been extremely rare. It is a blessing to see one of them!"

Chu Shiwen sighed: "Speaking of which, this Duan Inkstone has also gone through ups and downs. It was first discarded as rubbish by the owner, and then picked up as tatters and made into an ashtray. After several twists and turns, it was sold to a cultural relic. A hawker, until recently, it fell into the hands of a friend who collects antiques, ending his wandering life. "

Su Qinghua took a look at the bright light and found that, as he said, there were still some burn marks on the bottom of the inkstone, which should have been caused when making the ashtray.

"What a waste of natural resources!"

Su Qinghua couldn't help but sigh. Someone used such a valuable thing as an ashtray. What a waste.

When Chu Yang saw him handing the ashtray back, he couldn't help but said: "Uncle, my dad heard that you like calligraphy and often practice calligraphy, so he bought this square Duan Inkstone from a friend. If you like it, keep it for use. It can be regarded as realizing its true value.”

"That's not okay. It's too expensive. I can't accept it. I'll make a mistake."

Su Qinghua refused simply. Although this Fang Duan Inkstone had been used as an ashtray and there were burnt marks on the bottom, the flaws were not concealed. Its real value had not lost much. According to the market price, it was worth at least several hundred thousand. If you want to accept it, The problem is huge.

Chu Shiwen and Chu Yang had already guessed that he would say this, and had thought of countermeasures in advance. The two looked at each other, and Chu Shiwen said: "Secretary Su, let's put this matter aside for now. I will I’m here mainly because I want to ask for your opinions on what Xiaoyang and Xiaoyue are talking about.”

When talking about business, Su Qinghua and Su's mother unconsciously sat upright.

"Speaking of which, I am not a native of Jiangzhou. I only came to Jiangzhou later, so I don't know much about the customs here. Logically speaking, I should come to discuss it with you two earlier, but there is no time. It was no coincidence that it was delayed.

As far as I know, the two young people have a good relationship and their temperaments are very compatible. According to the custom here, they have been talking for so long. The parents of both parties should also discuss it and decide on the names of the children first, so as to avoid naming. To be fair, I am very satisfied with Xiaoyue. I support her and Xiaoyang being together. I wonder what your opinions are? "

Chu Shiwen asked thoughtfully.

Su's father and Su's mother looked at each other, and Su's father spoke first: "As parents, we shouldn't interfere too much in the affairs of young people. As long as they like me, I don't have any objections. I don't have much contact with Xiaoyang. But judging from some things, he has performed well in all aspects and will definitely have an extraordinary future. I also have very good feelings about him. As for Yue'er's mother, she also respects Yue'er's choice. We are not opposed to them being together. ”

Hearing that they all agreed, Su Yue's pretty face turned red, and she glanced at Chu Yang secretly, with a hint of sweetness in her eyes.

Chu Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was Su Yue's father who made the decision in the Su family. If her mother had made the decision, even if she did not object to the relationship between the two, she would probably have to find some small problems for him so that Chu Shi could take advantage of him. Wen beat himself with his hands to help his daughter establish her authority first.

Since neither party expressed any objection, the purpose of Chu Shiwen's coming here today has been achieved.

Chu Shiwen smiled and said to Su Qinghua: "Since our two families have agreed to get married, I won't use my official position as an official, so how about I call you my in-laws?"

"Haha, that's fine. This way we won't get angry." Su Qinghua didn't mind at all.

Although the relationship has not yet reached that stage, both parties are respectable people, and naturally they will not do anything like regretting their marriage, so the term "in-laws" is justified.

After hearing Su Qinghua's promise, Chu Shiwen picked up the square inkstone again, handed it over and said, "My dear, you said before that you were afraid of making mistakes when accepting gifts, but we are now a family, and it does not violate discipline to give gifts to each other. Well, besides, we don’t have any interests in each other, so we don’t have to worry about making mistakes. This is what Xiaoyang and I want, so just accept it.”

"What's wrong with this? It's too valuable." Su Qinghua really liked this Fang Duan Inkstone. He wanted to borrow his old friend's Duan Inkstone to study for a few days, but the other party treated it like a treasure and refused without explanation. This made him angry for a long time. Now when he met When he saw Duan Yan, who was better than his old friend, he was really jealous.

Chu Shiwen was also a talkative person, he shook his head and said: "My dear, what you said is wrong. Whoever holds this Duan Inkstone, it will play a corresponding role.

In the hands of people who pick up rags, it can only be an inconspicuous ashtray. In the hands of small vendors who collect cultural relics, it is just a tool to deceive laymen. In the hands of my friend who collects cultural relics, it is just a tool. an object to be admired.

As an inkstone, it can only exert its true value in the hands of your relatives. If it is conscious, it will be re-infected by thick ink, and then it will be truly happy. Therefore, it should have an owner who knows calligraphy. right! "
