No trace of espionage

Chapter 1022 Pretending to be profound
Li Yongcai walked into the study and took out a scroll from the safe.

It was given to him by Qu Hongxin, the boss of Hongxin Machine Factory.

According to Qu Hongxin, this painting was made by Dong Yuan, and it is called "Evening View of the River Embankment".

Li Yongcai didn't know painting, and he didn't know anything about Dong Yuan and Dong Fang, but when he heard that it was worth a lot, he decided that the painting was a treasure, and made up his mind to pass it on to his son as a family heirloom.

Li Yongcai opened the painting and looked at it, but he really didn't see what it was good for, but when he thought of sending away the twenty thousand oceans like this, his heart felt as if it were cut out by a knife.

He held the painting in his arms and said silently: "Son, son, if there is no skin, how will the hair be attached? You will not be much better if I die. Take care of dad first, and you must not blame dad."

After chanting a few words, I felt better, put the painting in a box, and carried it out the door.

……

"Yongcai, you and your sister have such a relationship? Every time you come back, you don't come empty-handed." Mrs. Xin narrowed her eyes with a smile when she saw Li Yongcai entering the door carrying a suitcase.

"Cousin, this is a painting I just bought for [-] yuan, and it's for my brother-in-law. Brother-in-law hasn't come back yet, right?"

"He hasn't come back yet, Guofu Xinjian, he is too busy. Yongcai, what painting is so valuable?"

"I heard it was Dong Yuan's, and it's called "Evening Views of the River Embankment". Anyway, I don't understand it, so I just bought it when I heard it was expensive."

"Five generations of Dong Yuan?" Mrs. Xin was taken aback.

She is a lady of everyone, of course she knows who Dong Yuan is.

"Who knows whether it is round or square, or which generation it is from. Sister, let's see?"

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Li Yongcai said as he opened the box and reached for the scroll.

"Don't move!" Mrs. Xin stopped him: "It seems that you really don't understand, you can't do it directly."

The servant took out a pair of gloves and put them on, carefully unfolding the painting.

After just one glance, Mrs. Xin's eyes lit up: "Okay, the air of simplicity and simplicity rushes over your face, it is indeed extraordinary!"

"Is it true?"

"It feels real. I don't quite understand it. When your brother-in-law comes back, let him appreciate it. He understands."

"My brother-in-law is really knowledgeable and knows everything."

After looking at it for a while, Mrs. Xin put away the painting and put it aside, and the two began to chat.

Li Yongcai told the story of Lin Chuang's appointment today, and finally said: "Sister, today's matter was not done well, and it was a mess. Who would have thought that the surname Lin knew so much?"

For the sake of famous paintings, Mrs. Xin did not complain about him, but encouraged her: "No matter how much he knows, he is young after all. If he is too aggressive in the officialdom, he will make too many enemies and he will not go far. Yongcai, fight against him." That is, you are still afraid of him when you have a sister backing you up?"

When Li Yongcai heard this, he became very courageous, and he straightened his back: "Yes, sister, my brother will never lose your prestige, and I will definitely give you a face. Sister, you said that the surname Lin was the first to withdraw Xu Kui, Afterwards, I refrained from talking about the office affairs, are you afraid?"

Mrs. Xin curled her lips and said: "Of course I was afraid. However, he is also considered smart and did not continue to mess around. Otherwise, if he really messes up and withdraws all your people, he will not beat you, but beat you." Your brother-in-law's face? He's not stupid, he knows enough is enough."

"Oh, then I have counted."

Li Yongcai let out a long breath.

……

Before dinner, Xin Jiaguang came back.

Mrs. Xin hurriedly took out the "Evening View of the River Embankment" as if offering a treasure.

Xin Jiaguang appraised it for a while, with a smile on his serious face: "The real thing."

"The real thing? Why didn't I see it?" Mrs. Xin intentionally scratched her husband's itch.

Now Xin Jiaguang found an opportunity to show off, pointing at the painting, and said: "Dong Beiyuan is one of the three great masters of the Southern Tang and Five Dynasties. His painting method is unique and his brushwork is strong. The real mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are used in the painting. It is not a strange brushwork. Sparse forest The trees are far away, flat, far and deep, and the texture is like hemp skin, which is called "Phima Cun" by later generations. The moss on the top of the mountain is fine and dense, the water is colorful, the clouds and mists are dark, the mountains and ridges are haunted, and the Tingzhuxi Bridge is full of sincerity.

You can see that the texture and coloring are all in line with the characteristics of his painting. Even if later generations imitate this kind of painting, they will not be able to imitate it. "

"If it's genuine, it's too expensive. It's rare that Yongcai has a heart. He bought it from Hong Kong for [-] US dollars and gave it to you."

Mrs. Xin glanced at Li Yongcai and said intentionally or unintentionally.

"Yongcai, you have a heart. This painting is too expensive, I dare not accept it, you should take it back." Xin Jiaguang said.

"Don't worry, I don't understand these things. What you said just now is like listening to heavenly scriptures. This painting in my hand is like lighting a lamp for a blind man. It's useless." Li Yongcai said.

"In that case, let's treat it as a gift between your siblings, I dare not accept it." Xin Jiaguang said.

Li Yongcai was overjoyed when he heard that, this was the first time that Xin Jiaguang admitted the "sibling" relationship between him and Mrs. Xin.

It's true that money can conjure ghosts, and giving gifts can conjure magic.

"That's right, that's right, I gave it to my sister, it has nothing to do with my brother-in-law." Li Yongcai quickly climbed up the pole.

Mrs. Xin put the painting away and went back to the living room to sit down. It was useless for Li Yongcai to speak, so she recounted what happened at the tax police station today, and said, "Yongcai owed him even before he became the chief of the bureau. You can't let him Get bullied again."

Xin Jiaguang pondered for a while, then commented: "Yongcai, today's matter is too stupid and groundless. To criticize the Shangguan in public is to bully the superior. Even if Lin Ming is embarrassed, you will not fall well. Instead, people will treat him. I feel sympathetic. Furthermore, occupying the director's office is too stupid. This is a continuation of bullying from below, and it is not advisable."

Li Yongcai was dumbfounded when he heard that, but he was still complacent, co-authoring two stupid things.

Mrs. Xin also understood.She couldn't keep her face off, after all, what Li Yongcai did was ordered by her.

"Then what should we do? It's not a good reputation to be a bully." Mrs. Xin said anxiously.

"Yes, brother-in-law, do you think there is any remedy?" Li Yongcai asked.

Xin Jiaguang was not in a hurry, he sipped his tea pretending to be high-spirited and said: "Smart people always want to take the first and keep a low profile. The so-called wood that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and the heap is higher than the shore and the waves are in the turbulence. , being the most stupid target, easy to be attacked by others, so how can you be undefeated?"

"Brother-in-law, you speak too deeply and don't understand." Li Yongcai touched the back of his head and said.

"That's right, they're all my brothers, let's just say it straight." Mrs. Xin chimed in.

"Lin Ming is extremely intelligent, coupled with his young age and rich wealth, he has always had no eyes. Such a person will not tolerate disobedience. In my opinion, this is not a strength, but a defect, and it is easy to be used by others. In this way If you don’t stumble, everything will be fine, but if you stumble, it will be a big stumble, and it will be very difficult to turn around.” Xin Jiaguang said solemnly while knocking on a few cases.

Li Yongcai was still confused.

I dont understand.
