Chapter 399: Jiang family heirloom ancient paintings
It was a rare day for the family to reunite. Although Jiang Wenhui was a little dissatisfied with Liu Chengyun's uninvited visit, she would not show it openly.
It's just that I originally wanted to say a few words of concern for my daughter at the dinner table, but I couldn't find the opportunity.
They were all taken up by Lao Liu and her husband who talked about "investment", "calligraphy and painting" and "collection"...
It wasn't until after dinner that she saw that the two of them were still trying to continue chatting. She couldn't bear it anymore and interjected: "Xixi will fly to Liangchuan for filming tomorrow. It's very remote there. We Do you need to prepare something for her?"
Liu Chengyun finally came to his senses and said we would talk another day. He stood up and left awkwardly.
When they left, Jiang Wenhui pinched her husband's arm and said, "You can talk about business outside, so why do you bring people home to continue chatting?" Xixi finally came back with time, so I just listened to what you said This is an investment.”
Jiang Runcheng kneaded the red piece of meat and felt a little unreasonable, "Actually, before we even got down to business, you drove the person away without saying anything!"
“What else can be done?”
"Aren't we planning to invest in calligraphy and painting? I thought that we still have a painting at home. Although it is not signed, it can be seen that it is very old. I thought that it would be useless to keep it at home. It cannot be eaten or used. Just take this opportunity and find a way to sell it at a high price.”
“What painting? Why don’t I know?”
Jiang Lingxi and Jiang Lingxu, who were staying in the living room, also shook their heads, "We don't know either."
“It’s not a precious thing in the first place, otherwise when the family went bankrupt, the bank would appraise it and take it away.” Jiang Runcheng said and stood up, “I’ll take it out and show it to you.”
Coming out of the bedroom, he had a simple scroll in his hand.
It can be seen that the collection is indeed not very detailed, and the edges are fluffy.
Untying the rope, Jiang Runcheng saw that there was no water stain on the coffee table, so he simply put it on the coffee table and opened it.
The three heads next to him moved closer.
On the already yellowed paper, I saw a maroon horse standing upright. The knight on the horse had vigorous movements and a heroic profile.
A few willow branches and a peach blossom traced in the upper left corner and lower left corner of the painting reveal the seasons in the painting.
Jiang Wenhui was able to marry Jiang Runcheng, who was still a big boss, and her family background was not bad. When she was a rich lady in her early years, she often hung out in art galleries with other wealthy ladies. However, in recent years, she has been overwhelmed by the burden of life. Angry, this activity that cultivates sentiments is naturally gone.
But he still has good eyesight, "This painting is very good!"
"What's the use of a good painting," Jiang Runcheng snorted disdainfully, "It's neither signed nor stamped. To put it bluntly, it's a three-no product. Everyone recognizes the signature and the seal left on it. I don't even know what it is. Who painted it? Old Liu said he knew craftsmen in this field who could imitate calligraphy and make the signatures and seals old..."
Jiang Lingxu frowned, "Isn't that just a lie?"
Jiang Runcheng raised his head and looked at his stupid son, "This painting is a real ancient painting, right? And if someone is willing to buy it, they will definitely like this painting. What I do is just to increase the value of the painting. What kind of liar is this? Thousands of gold." Do you understand that it’s hard to buy something?”
As he spoke, he was about to reroll the painting.
He is still planning to sell it at a high price, but he cannot make the painting dirty or damaged.
Hold one hand on the edge of the scroll.
Jiang Runcheng paused and turned his head to look at his daughter who had not said a word just now.
“What’s wrong, Xiao Xi?”
“I like this painting very much.” Jiang Lingxi met Jiang Runcheng’s looking eyes, “How about…”
Jiang Wenhui was more direct. She slapped her husband's hand away and said, "Then I'll give this painting to Xixi."
Jiang Runcheng: “…”
He was about to say that he still wanted to use this painting to make a comeback. After all, investment also has cycles, but if he could process and sell the painting through the method found by Lao Liu, he would be able to get the money immediately.
He was glared at by his wife, "Have you forgotten how many debts Xixi helped you pay back? Are you still reluctant to part with such a painting?"
Jiang Runcheng also wanted to say that his son-in-law helped pay it back, but if he didn't have a daughter, where would he be?
Hmm had no choice but to reluctantly nod, "Since Xiao Xi likes it, then you can take it."
I should have known better not to show it off!
After all, it’s just a painting left in your hand.
Jiang Lingxi rolled up the picture, opened the suitcase and put it in, then returned to the sofa and sat down.
She doesn’t know what politeness is!
Not to mention that there are bells painted on the painting. Compared with Jiang Runcheng, who felt a little distressed after giving the painting to his daughter in vain, Jiang Wenhui was in a much better mood.
She has been feeling guilty about her daughter over the years and wants to make amends, but her daughter always says that she lacks nothing, but they still need her daughter's help from time to time.
Now I finally have a daughter who likes things that make her happy.
She could see that her daughter really liked the painting.
“How long will Xixi go to Liangchuan for filming this time? It’s much colder there than here. I heard you have to wear a cotton-padded jacket at night.”
“If everything goes well, it will take one month, no more than two months at most.”
“October is better, but I’m afraid of snow, so be sure to keep warm.”
…
Jiang Lingxi finally realized this time that her parents would give endless instructions as soon as they were given.
But it feels pretty good.
The suitcase, which was originally quite spacious, was reopened and filled to the brim with newly added warm clothes and food and drink.
Jiang Lingxi has reason to suspect that if there is still room in the box, Ms. Jiang can definitely continue to stuff it in.
Waiting until she returned to her bedroom, Jiang Lingxi was able to take out her phone and take a look at the messages she had been told to read before.
Shen Yunqing: [I asked the director for your trip’s destination. Huzi has already set off early. Changning is not in the imperial capital at the moment and will meet you at Liangchuan Airport. 】
Jiang Lingxi: [Why did Huzi set off early? He can fly with me in the imperial capital. 】
Shen Yunqing: [He also carried a large item, which was inconvenient for flying. 】
Jiang Lingxi:?
But she quickly thought of something and typed: "You didn't let him drive your RV on the road, did you?" 】
Shen Yunqing: [If you have a RV, you will live more comfortably. 】
Jiang Lingxi: [Maomao holding fists.JPG]
After a while, Jiang Lingxi looked at the emoji sent by Shen Yunqing saying that she was welcome, and couldn't help but laugh.
She could almost imagine this person struggling to find the right emoji in order to reciprocate politely.
【I also received a painting today, a gift from my family. You won't be able to guess what the painting is. 】
【oh? What painting is it? 】
The painting shows me riding a bell. Jiang Runcheng said that the painting was handed down from the ancestors of the Jiang family, so it should be true. I may have guessed part of the reason for coming here. 】
After all, it was online. Jiang Lingxi spoke a little cryptically, but she felt that Shen Yunqing would understand what she meant.
Shen Yunqing really understood it. When he read the last sentence, his heart skipped a beat.
Before he could think of how to reply, another message appeared on the screen: [When I come back from Liangchuan, I think it is necessary for us to have a good chat. 】
…
【good. 】
It’s late, go to bed early. 】
【you too. 】
Before going to bed, Jiang Lingxi clicks on the mind map on her mobile phone that she will tinker with when she gets interested or thinks of something.
The title of the guide was chosen by her: it is neither luck nor accidental.
She was reborn after her death and has now met Shen Yunqing, Xia Zhi, and Wujue, who is both a monk and a magician.
How did Shen Yunqing find the original owner and bind him with a marriage certificate before she came, and why did Mei Shuiqing use Jiang Xiyu to deliberately deal with the original owner? Maybe it was her who he really wanted to deal with, but now another one whose true identity has appeared is a mystery. Chong Yin, who still doesn't know why she appeared on the set, now has a painting of her and Ling Dang passed down from the Jiang family.
The discoveries and doubts accumulated intermittently are becoming more and more interesting.
