Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

"Wow~ Brother is so amazing~" Little Sizi clapped her chubby little hands and exclaimed in her childish voice.

Jiang Fan then dived underwater and swam around again. This would normally be a very ordinary thing.

Unfortunately, the three little princesses usually lived in the Tang Dynasty palace and had never even seen someone swim like Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan swam for a while, then emerged from the water and wiped the water off his face.

"Wow, you're amazing!"

"Mmm! Young man, you look like a big fish!"

"Hehehe!" Jiang Fan laughed happily upon hearing the praise from the two little princesses.

"Brother~ I want to learn to swim too~"

"I want to learn too! I want to learn too!"

Both little princesses envied this skill, and Li Lizhi's eyes also revealed a desire to learn it.

"Okay, I'll teach you."

"Let's do it one at a time! Let's start with the little rhinoceros."

Jiang Fan put swimming goggles on the little princess and took her out of the swimming ring.

According to Jiang Fan's understanding, you can't learn to swim by wearing a swimming ring.

Jiang Fan gently placed the little princess in the water and supported her chest with his hands.

Little Sizi felt herself floating and laughed excitedly, "Hahaha~"

Jiang Fan was initially worried that the little princess would be scared, but he didn't expect the little one to be so happy.

Little Sizi had complete trust in Jiang Fan. "Little Sizi, try paddling with your hands!"

"Hmm~"

The little ox thrashed about wildly, splashing water all over Jiang Fan's face.

Both Li Lizhi and Princess Chengyang covered their faces with their hands.

Learning to swim isn't something you can do in a short time. Let the little princess experience it first, and we can take it slowly later.

When Jiang Fan was a child, he drank a lot of water in the pond before he learned to swim.

"Rhinoceros, is it fun?"

"Mmm-hmm~"

"Should we let my second sister try it too?"

"Mmm-hmm~"

They put the little girl back into the swimming ring and then picked up Princess Chengyang.

"Come on, Chengyang, give it a try too."

Princess Chengyang was a little nervous after leaving the swimming ring, but she got used to it after a while.

"How are you feeling in Chengyang?"

"Hehe! This is fun!"

Xiao Si nudged Li Lizhi: "Sister, you're one too!"

Li Lizhi glanced at the spot where Jiang Fan's hands were supporting her, her pretty face flushed, and she quickly shook her head.

"No need, sister!"

However, the little princess is someone who loves to share happiness: "Big sister, isn't it fun? It's so much fun!"

Jiang Fan noticed Li Lizhi's predicament and said, "You can try holding onto the swimming ring and lying face down in the water."

Li Lizhi glanced at the swimming ring but didn't object. Then, under Jiang Fan's guidance...

Holding onto Princess Chengyang's swimming ring, he slowly lifted his feet.

A joyful expression immediately appeared on his face—this feeling of floating was indeed very nice and relaxing.

The four of them played in the pool for more than two hours before finally stopping.

Jiang Fan was blow-drying the hair of the two little princesses who had just finished bathing, while Li Lizhi was blow-drying her own hair.

"Brother Fan, it's about time we went back," Li Lizhi said with some reluctance.

They had been here for two days already. Li Lizhi was worried about her mother and father... but this place was so much fun, much more fun than the Tang Dynasty, and she was a little reluctant to leave.

"Okay, I'll take you back later. You can come anytime you want to play," Jiang Fan said with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

Li Lizhi nodded.

……

Around 3 p.m., Jiang Fan escorted the three princesses back.

He then returned to the villa, packed up the wooden box containing pearls and a jade ruyi that Si Zi had given him, and immediately went out and strode to the car.

Jiang Fan opened the car door, fastened his seatbelt, carefully placed the box on the passenger seat, stepped on the gas, and headed straight for Jinfu Auction Company.

He arrived fifteen minutes later. After parking the car, he took out his phone and called Li Jinfu.

After selling the luminous pearl and the gold-threaded wooden box last time, the two exchanged phone numbers, but have not been in contact since.

"Boss Li, I'm Jiang Fan. I have a few treasures and would like to ask you to take a look. If the price is right..." Jiang Fan said bluntly.

"It's Mr. Jiang! I'm at the company now, come on over!"

On the other end of the phone, Li Jinfu spoke excitedly. He had long suspected that Jiang Fan came from a wealthy family, and sure enough, another treasure had arrived.

Especially his distant second uncle... he's practically a reclusive master from ancient times.

He took that gold-threaded wooden box back with him last time and studied it for a long time. The more he looked at it, the more amazed and fascinated he became.

It's exactly the same as the craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty, without a single flaw, whether it's the materials, the craftsmanship, or the technique...

Li Jinfu even took the gold-threaded wooden box to consult a long-retired, renowned figure.

And guess what? It not only looks new, but it's even more real than the real thing.

Even that titan of a figure wanted to pay a high price for his "fake" gold-threaded wooden box, but Li Jinfu was unwilling to sell it.

……

Upon entering Jinfu Auction Company, Li Jinfu's secretary greeted Jiang Fan with a smile and politely led him to Li Jinfu's office.

Upon entering, Li Jinfu saw Jiang Fan and immediately greeted him politely.

Then his gaze became fixed on the wooden box in his hand.

"This box... it must have been made by your distant second uncle, right?"

Li Jinfu exclaimed in admiration. He glanced at it from afar and could tell that the box was also made of golden silk wood.

The wood is even older than the last one, and the wooden box is also a replica of the Tang Dynasty style. The key is the craftsmanship and techniques, which are completely from the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, Li Jinfu was amazed. Imitation of antiquity is not difficult; the difficulty lies in making it indistinguishable from the real thing.

But this thing that looks fake at first glance, upon closer inspection, is incredibly realistic, without a single flaw.

It's missing just one step—an antiquing process—and it's clearly from the Tang Dynasty.

And it's quite obvious that this master has the ability, but simply disdains to do so.

"Ahem... Mr. Jiang, could you please let me take a closer look at the box?"

"no problem!"

Li Jinfu put on gloves, took out a magnifying glass, and carefully examined the box.

They looked at it as if it were a priceless treasure.

"Mr. Jiang... your second uncle is truly amazing! This one looks different from the one you sold me last time, but in terms of craftsmanship alone, it's the pinnacle! Six million! What do you think?"

"Six million!"

Jiang Fan was surprised, considering that the last time it sold for three million yuan!

Li Jinfu waved his hand and sighed, "There are always people more capable than you. Consider this a friendly exchange. Could you introduce me to your second uncle sometime? I'd like to pay him a visit!"

"Sure, sure. Oh, by the way, there are also a dozen or so pearls and a jade ruyi in the box. Mr. Li, could you take a look at them for me as well?"

Jiang Fan smiled and replied dismissively. As for Second Uncle's matter, he could just find some excuse to decline it later.

"Pearls! Jade Ruyi!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jinfu opened the package and was completely dumbfounded to find pearls the size of longan eyes and a jade ruyi as white as mutton fat.
