A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 916 Palace Museum Experts Visit Home

Early the next morning.

After Yin Lianyi woke up, a pale white arm peeked out from under the covers and groggily reached for her phone next to the bedside table.

Last night was her wedding night with Lin Sanqi. The two of them went a little too far, having sex seven times in one night while they were still young, until they were completely exhausted before finally falling asleep.

"Oh dear, it's already 10 o'clock."

Yin Lianyi was startled when she saw the time on her phone and sat up abruptly.

Lin Sanqi was also instantly awakened and asked in a panic:

"What's wrong? Your husband's back? Should I hide for a bit?"

Yin Lianyi rolled her eyes at her husband and said disdainfully:
"What kind of old jokes are you using? Look, it's already 10 o'clock, and I haven't even served tea to my parents yet. Oh no, I'm going to embarrass myself on the second day of my wedding."

After saying that, Yin Lianyi jumped off the bed naked and frantically searched for her clothes.

Upon hearing that it was a tea ceremony, Lin Sanqi instantly relaxed and lay back down.

"Alright, alright, I already told my parents yesterday that we're exhausted after a long day and definitely won't be able to get out of bed the next day, so the tea ceremony will probably have to wait until noon."

Don't worry, your parents-in-law are very easy to talk to, and your sister-in-law isn't the type to gossip. Come on, honey, let's do it again while it's such a beautiful morning."

As Yin Lianyi dressed, she continued to sneer:

"Hey, Mr. Lin, can you still eat? Stop bragging and get up. There are bound to be a lot of guests at home today. You'll be laughed at to death."

Lin Sanqi had no choice but to slowly get out of bed.

Without even thinking about it, ever since my family became successful, it's like having distant relatives even when you're rich in the mountains. Relatives from my maternal grandmother's family and aunt's family, who are practically unrelated to me, have all come to visit.

Of course, Lin Sanqi didn't object to relatives coming to visit.

Since the group grew, my mother, Wang Wenjuan, has officially retired and is staying at home. It's good that someone comes to chat with her every day to relieve her boredom.

Anyway, there's a nanny at home, so there's no need to cook or clean, and I'm not worried about tiring my own mother out.

The newlyweds took another shower, got dressed, and by the time they came downstairs it was almost 11 o'clock.

Fortunately, Yin Lianyi is naturally beautiful and only needs a little light makeup to solve the problem. If she wore heavy makeup, it would take at least two hours to finish.

Sure enough, when Lin Sanqi and Yin Lianyi came out of the elevator, they found that the living room was already full of their aunts and uncles.

When a group of middle-aged women saw the nervous newlyweds, they covered their mouths and chuckled.

Lin Sanqi scratched his head: "Hehe, Mom, elders, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I overslept and forgot to wake Ayi up."

Wang Wenjuan quickly smiled and came to her daughter-in-law's rescue, saying:

"I understand, I understand. Ayi works day and night at the company, almost every day of the year without holidays. It's normal for her to take a few days off after her wedding."

A middle-aged woman next to me joked:
"Seven, Ah Yi, you must let your mother hold her precious grandson soon."

Hehehe~~~
Seeing that the atmosphere was pleasant, Yin Lianyi relaxed a little and joked along:
"Don't worry, Mother, I will definitely have children for the Lin family as soon as possible."

Okay~~~
Another round of applause erupted in the living room.

At this moment, one of the housewives acting as the matchmaker spoke up:

"Alright, alright, Ah Sen, come here quickly, your son and daughter-in-law are about to serve you tea."

Lin Bingqiao also skipped downstairs at this moment, and saw that the scene was a bit strange:
"Didn't we already offer tea at the ancestral hall yesterday? Why do we need to offer tea again? Is this tea really that good?"

The matchmaker wasn't annoyed, knowing that this was the eldest princess of the Lin family, a woman of high status whom she couldn't afford to offend. So she smiled and explained:
"The tea ceremony served by the newlyweds is a traditional ritual to express gratitude to their parents for raising them and to formally establish family relationships. The tea served in the ancestral hall yesterday was actually drunk by your grandmother on behalf of the ancestors."

Today's tea ceremony at home signifies that your sister-in-law has officially become a member of your Lin family. Your parents-in-law drinking the tea represents their formal acceptance. If they didn't, things would get very complicated.

Southerners value this sense of ceremony very much. After Lin Musen and Wang Wenjuan sat down, Lin Sanqi and Yin Lianyi knelt down. Yin Lianyi held the tea with both hands and respectfully served it to her father-in-law first.

"Dad, please have some tea. Wishing you good health and longevity."

Lin Musen laughed as he took the teacup, took a sip, and then pulled out a red envelope to present to the teacup.

Yin Lianyi then served tea to her mother-in-law with both hands:
"Grandma, please have some tea. May your beauty last forever."

Wang Wenjuan was overjoyed and took out a red envelope to present to him:

"Good, good, good. My son Qi is so lucky to have married such a smart, capable, and beautiful wife. It must be a blessing from our ancestors."

Lin Sanqi, kneeling to one side, almost burst out laughing.

Thinking to himself, he realized that his ancestors had accumulated a lot of good karma. His grandfather and great-grandfather, who had passed away long ago, had made a cameo appearance in the story, acquiring jade and antiques all over the country back then, which is how the Lin family's wealth came about.

After the toasts were finished, just as the Lin family relatives were about to start chatting, a nanny ran over and said:
"Dr. Lin, there are several people outside who claim to be experts from the Palace Museum who have come to visit."

Despite living in an urban village, the Lin family, a billionaire, is still very concerned about security. Therefore, security is actually tight on the outside but loose on the inside, with a security team on standby right next to the Lin residence.

So it's not that the Lin family is putting on airs and requires guests to register; it's just that if people were allowed to come and go as they pleased, the danger level would rise sharply.

When Lin Musen heard that they were from the Palace Museum, he didn't know much about the situation, but Lin Sanqi knew why they had come.

"Then let the experts from the Palace Museum come in. Oh no, I'll go and greet them myself."

Lin Sanqi was actually quite disgusted. He knew that the other party was never coming for anything good. The Palace Museum was always the one taking things from other places. If they gave them cultural relics, they would only get 500 yuan and a banner at most.

But Lin Sanqi had met this group of Palace Museum experts yesterday, and several of them had full heads of white hair. Even out of courtesy, he could only greet them.

"Mr. Feng, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, welcome, welcome."

Feng Xingxian held Lin Sanqi's hand and said with a smile:

"Welcome is just a formality, but this old man still shamelessly came to visit. I hope Chairman Lin won't kick us out later."

Lin Sanqi thought to herself, "Knowing that, why did you still come?"
But respectable people can only say respectable things, so he smiled wryly and said:

"Gentlemen, please come inside."

When the group entered the Lin family's living room, the women had already left and gone to chat in the small living room next door.

As soon as Feng Xingxian entered the living room, his eyes widened instantly when he saw the antiques that the Lin family used as decorations, and he unconsciously quickened his pace.

He picked up a bottle and exclaimed:
"This is a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase with the inscription 'Zhang Liang Picking Up the Shoe'? This vase, wasn't it broken in 68? How did it end up in your house?"

Before Lin Sanqi could answer, the old expert Zhang picked up another vase next to him with trembling hands:
"Is this a Song Dynasty blue-glazed white dragon-patterned plum vase? No, wait, yours is even bigger than the one in the Yangzhou Museum, and the dragon has five claws. This was used by the Song Dynasty emperors. How did you get it?"

The Yuan Dynasty blue-glazed white dragon-patterned plum vase is the most prized possession of the Yangzhou Museum and is listed in the National List of Cultural Relics Prohibited from Being Exhibited Abroad.

Lin Sanqi was about to explain again when suddenly Old Feng rushed towards the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall and exclaimed:

"Is this Huang Tingjian's 'Luo Wei Ming'? No, no, I remember that 'Luo Wei Ming' was burned in a fire in 72. How did it end up here with you? This, this, this can't be fake."

Old Feng said to the people next to him:
"Look, there's a bit of soy sauce stain in this corner of the 'Luowai Inscription.' It was accidentally spilled there by my master when he remounted it 60 years ago, so this piece of calligraphy is definitely genuine."

"That's not right. I can't be sure about other things, but I personally saw this 'Luowei Ming' being thrown into a fire and burned. I was heartbroken at the time. How come it wasn't burned? Was it switched?"

Lin Sanqi chuckled, thinking of a famous internet meme: "One piece from the Forbidden City, one piece from me."

At this moment, another expert from the Palace Museum, surnamed Li, was also calling for help:
"Old Feng, come and take a look. Isn't this Qi Baishi's 'Pine and Cypress Standing Tall with Four-Character Couplet in Seal Script'? I remember there was another sister painting that sold for over 4 million."

Feng Xingxian quickly ran over, and then his jaw dropped in astonishment:

"Yes, Qi Baishi's 'Pine and Cypress Standing Tall with Four-Character Couplet in Seal Script' consists of four paintings, depicting the four seasons. Only the one you mentioned at the auction exists today. So the other three are here?" (End of Chapter)
