Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

Chapter 262 Plum Blossoms and Two Birds, Autumn Colors of the Country, Way Out! (Happy New Year)

After thinking for a long time,

He didn't even think about what Master Niu wanted to do with him suddenly.

Wu Youde planned to pay a visit to Mr. Niu's house when he left later. What if he still wanted to sell the house?

If it's a good house, I wouldn't mind buying another one.

After having lunch at Juyun Hutong, Wu Youde got up and left.

After all, it's the Chinese New Year, so I should come and see it. Now that I've seen it and eaten it, why don't I leave? Let's play cards.

With his current physique and skills, he wouldn't be able to end the fight in that moment.

It might get dark again.

……

"Hey? Is this your kid?"

Seeing Wu Youde standing outside the door, Mr. Niu was surprised and happy. He laughed and said, "Hahaha, I haven't found you after searching for two days. I just came back from your house and I didn't expect you to show up at your door!"

Oops, if I had known you were coming, I wouldn’t have run back and forth, just messing around!

Come on, come on, come in, come in! "

Mr. Niu's house is nice, with elegant furnishings, several landscape paintings hanging on the walls, and an incense burner on the table.

At this time, curls of green smoke were slowly dissipating from it, with different shapes, sometimes like clouds, sometimes like dogs, sometimes like dragons...

There is also a delicate fragrance that fills the room, which clears the mind and seems to have a refreshing effect.

As expected of a disciple of the Eight Banners, how can an ordinary person display such a demeanor?

Just like Wu Youde himself, he is rich now, but if he is asked to deal with these things, he can't do it because he doesn't understand.

Wu Youde looked around the room, took the tea from Master Niu, took a sip, looked over, and got straight to the point.

"Master Niu, do you have anything to do with me?"

Mr. Niu nodded and laughed, "I wanted to see you earlier, but something delayed me."

Wu Youde said nothing and waited for the next sentence.

At this time, Mr. Niu took out something from his pocket.

"Crack!"

The match was scratched on the sandpaper, and the flame appeared and flickered.

Wu Youde was stunned.

What do you mean?
  What does lighting a match suddenly mean?
  Eh? its not right!
  Didn't I sell him a lighter last time? It's not as useful as this match, but the key is that it looks good and looks cool!
  Where's his lighter?

Wu Youde's mind was spinning and he had some vague guesses.

Mr. Niu flicked his hand, the flame went out, and he threw the matchstick on the table.

His face looked a little depressed. After thinking about it for a moment, he asked, "Brother, do you still have the lighter at your place?"

Huh? !

Wu Youde's eyes flashed and he knew he had guessed correctly.

This Mr. Niu came to me and really wanted to buy a lighter.

And judging from the situation, his lighter should be gone.

I just don’t know if he gave it away or sold it.

After thinking about it,
  Wu Youde did not comment, but asked: "Master Niu, what's going on?"

Mr. Niu sighed and said helplessly: "Speaking of which, it's my fault too... If I didn't take that treasure out, it wouldn't attract anyone's attention and make people jealous...

well! "

Having said that,

But Wu Youde could still clearly see that he was still very happy when he said this.

Because his eyes were shining and his mouth could not help but grin.

How does this look like regret and depression?

Fake, too fake!
  Wu Youde estimated that since this guy got the lighter, he must have used it to show off.

If he hadn't gone out to show off, how could he have attracted other people's attention and made people jealous?
  Wu Youde asked with a smile: "Master Niu, what I said was right, that thing is a treasure.

Especially for people like you, it is very suitable. "

"Yeah yeah."

Mr. Niu nodded repeatedly, with a look of deep approval on his face.

Ever since he got the lighter, he couldn't wait to meet his former gang of friends. As soon as he took out the lighter, he instantly blinded them.

Everyone was yelling, where did this thing come from?

You guys should get one too!
  Ouch, this thing is so good, the golden dragon is in the sky, and the dragon is soaring all over the world...

OK OK! This man is also a member of the royal family, the son of a dragon, and his grandson. This thing belongs to me!

A group of former Eight Banners disciples were not calm anymore, clamoring to buy it, their eyes were red.

One of them, the great-grandfather, was a prince of the county, and he would not let go of his lighter.

He shouted, "I want this treasure. How much does it cost? You can give me a price. If you blink your eyes, I will be your seed. Tell me!"

After finally getting a treasure, he had to trade his own yard for it. How could Master Niu be willing to sell it?

He refused on the spot!
  As a result, we almost got into a fight that day...

However, after that incident, Mr. Niu and the lighter in his hand became famous, and their spread became more and more widespread among the entire group of Eight Banners disciples of the former dynasty!

Niu Ye struggled to hold on for more than a month, but finally couldn't hold on...

After listening to Mr. Niu's simple narration, Wu Youde felt enlightened and felt a little bit dumbfounded.

Looking at Mr. Niu who looked depressed, he cursed in his heart: You deserve it, I have to show off your shame. Isn't this too much pretense?

Wu Youde was curious about who bought Niu Ye's lighter.

What he was more curious about was how the other party bought it and how he made Mr. Niu relent?

After thinking about it,
  Wu Youde couldn't help but be curious, so he asked: "Master Niu, who is the other party?"

"..."

Mr. Niu was silent.

Wu Youde's eyes flickered. Is this reaction a bit abnormal?

Could it be that the other party's identity is very sensitive?

Wu Youde's heart moved, and he secretly guessed... This might be the reason.

If not, there would be no need for Mr. Niu to be so secretive.

Well, keep thinking along this line of thinking...

A person popped into Wu Youde's mind.

The practitioner who has the most noble profession in history, but is the worst off.

Puyi!

This person's life situation is so bizarre and rich that it is unique to Scorpion. It can be summed up in two words.

It is embarrassing.

Where is this person now?

Wu Youde began to recall...

No, no, it shouldn't be him.

Wu Youde quickly gave up his guess. It was only 1953, and Puyi was still in prison undergoing reform.

Then,

Maybe the buyer's offer was so generous that Mr. Niu couldn't refuse.

Or does Mr. Niu owe the other party a favor?
  Well, that's probably the two situations.

Wu Youde feels that the first possibility is the most likely. He believes that there is nothing in this world that cannot be sold. Whether it can be sold depends only on whether the conditions are enough to impress people's hearts.

That's it.

Therefore, Mr. Niu is embarrassed to say it now.

There is no way he could say that the price was too high. I bought it from you for 700 yuan and resold it for 7,000 yuan?

This should be the case.

After thinking about this, Wu Youde was not angry at all. If Mr. Niu sold it for 7,000 yuan, it was his fault and he would not be jealous.

As for whether it's sour or not, it's definitely a bit.

You can raise the price later when the opportunity arises!

Since he has been busy looking for himself in the past two days, he must really want to buy another one. The New Year is coming soon, and everyone who visits relatives and friends wants to show off.

Don't talk about it now,
  In a few decades, everyone will be like this.

No matter whether you are doing well outside or making money, you will always be neatly dressed and beautiful when you go home during the Chinese New Year.

People who buy cars, people who lease cars, people who buy new cell phones, people who get their hair done.

Without exception, they all ride horses just to show off!
  Therefore, Niu Ye is no longer just needed, but urgently needed!

Well, this is a great time to raise your own price.

After thinking about this, Wu Youde laughed and said cheerfully: "I do still have lighters here."

Ok?
  Mr. Niu's eyes lit up and he said, "Sure enough, I knew you were trying to trick me before."

He also said that this is the only one in the world, the only one.

Bullshit!

Look, doesn’t this mean there is more?

Mr. Niu cursed in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he laughed: "Haha, that's really great.

Brother, I want to buy another one.

I bought it for 700 yuan last time. This time my brother will give you another 100 yuan. Do you think it’s okay? "

Wu Youde glanced at him and smiled without saying a word.

Mr. Niu suddenly felt something in his heart and screamed secretly.

Has this kid’s appetite increased?
  Eight hundred yuan, a year's salary, isn't this enough? ?

He composed himself and said, "Brother, how about you make a price?"

Wu Youde shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Niu, I don't lack that little money now, so..."

Mr. Niu: "..."

He couldn't handle this tone of voice.

Eight hundred yuan, not eight yuan, don’t you take it seriously?

Damn it, you kid is really good at blowing!

If you were really so rich, would you have bargained for dozens of dollars for me last time?
  Bullshit!

Wu Youde could probably guess what Mr. Niu was thinking, but he didn't want to explain it, and there was no need. Anyway, he just knew what was going on.

He said calmly: "Master Niu, if it's money, forget it. You can look at other things..."

Something else?

Hearing that he didn't say death, Mr. Niu was quite happy.

He immediately asked: "Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. We can discuss everything easily!"

Wu Youde raised his head and cast his eyes on the two paintings hanging on the wall behind him...

One of them, he felt, was quite to his liking. To be precise, it was already very good.

Two sparrows fell on a plum tree.

There are two birds perched on one branch of plum blossom, this is the "Picture of Two Birds on Plum Blossom".

Wouldn't it be nice to take this home and give it to Qin Huairu and Xue Chunmei?
  Wu Youde recognized the signature on the painting after careful examination. The author was Ma Lin.

Sorry, I don't know.

I have no idea how good the painters of that dynasty were and how much they were worth.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't know the author of the painting. Wu Youde knows the author of the painting next to him.

I saw a landscape painting hanging next to the "Picture of Plum Blossoms and Two Birds".

The picture is broad and vast, stretching as far as the eye can see.

A building stands tall in the center of the picture, and the tower in the center towers into the clouds, giving it a sense of solemnity and solemnity. The surrounding trees are lush and green, and the mountains in the distance gradually become blurred.

You can feel the breath of autumn stirring people's soul. The boundless mountains, quiet lakes, and green pine trees complement each other to form a wonderful picture of autumn colors.

One glance at it makes one feel a little excited...

In the lower right corner of the painting, a simple red seal stayed there quietly.

Li Tang, "Autumn Colors of the Country".

This painting is good, majestic and profound in artistic conception. Even Wu Youde, a person who doesn't know much about painting, can feel the extraordinary in it.

As for the author, he has heard of him.

Li Tang, one of the Four Masters of the Southern Song Dynasty, created his original "big ax chop" technique. The other three of the "Four Masters of the Southern Song Dynasty" are all his descendants.

Therefore, he is also the leader of painters in the Southern Song Dynasty!
  He is an all-round painter, capable of figures, flowers, birds, landscapes, everything, and perfect at everything!

All in all, this guy is awesome!
  Then,

That pair of "Plum Blossoms and Two Birds" can be hung next to "Autumn Colors of Mountains and Rivers". I guess that Ma Lin must not be a mediocre person.

Wu Youde secretly came to this conclusion in his heart, and at the same time he also coveted these two paintings.

As his days passed as planned, he also had money in his hands.

Sometimes he wonders, what should he do?
  Invest and make big money?
  At present, don’t even think about it in China. One garment factory is enough, but there is not much time left. There's no need to worry about it anymore, it's all in vain anyway...

Want to invest and make a lot of money?
  The only option was to go outside, but so far, he didn't really want to go out.

So under the current limited conditions, what should we do?
  Also, although we have a system now and we don’t have to worry about anything, what if the system breaks down one day?

You have to leave a way out for yourself and some resources for your descendants...

Writing novels is a path, and writing songs is also a path.

The former can make money, and the latter can earn fame, but Wu Youde feels that is not enough.

Seeing these two paintings on the wall at this moment, he suddenly had an idea and an idea.

These paintings are all treasures.

In addition to these paintings, there is also the smoking incense burner on the table, which is also a treasure.

Even the mahogany Taishi chair sitting under his buttocks is also a treasure.

As the saying goes, gold in troubled times is antique in prosperous times.

I know the general trend of history. In the future, life will become more stable day by day, and the prices of these antiques will also keep rising!

Maybe you can buy a jar for one dollar now, but it will sell for 100 million in a few decades.

Hey, the price/performance ratio is pretty good.

It feels good to pick up leaks and gives me a great sense of accomplishment!
  Wu Youde looked at the painting on the wall. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the joy on his face was not concealed. Master Niu immediately understood it.

"Brother, which one do you like?"

"I like both of them."

Mr. Niu: "..."

Wu Youde asked: "Master Niu, I am young and can speak outright. Besides, I don't understand these things. Don't be offended if I say something wrong.

Are both paintings authentic? "

Mr. Niu straightened up and said immediately: "Authentic, of course it is authentic!"

finished,

He was worried that Wu Youde didn't believe it, so he added: "Brother, my family was rich before, so there is no need to push it too far.

You can just push it forward fifty years. At that time, my father was Lord Baile, a serious red belt!
  If we push it forward another fifty years...hehehehe...in the capital, my family can be considered the number one person! "

Thinking of his family's past glory, Mr. Niu showed a look of nostalgia on his face and opened his mouth in excitement.

Wu Youde understands this very well.

Why don't you let people reminisce and have fun?

"Okay, do you like these two paintings of Lord Niu?" Wu Youde asked.

……

　Happy New Year, brother~~~Have you all eaten and drank well today?
  　　I woke up late today, mainly because I went back to my hometown to visit the grave, and I just got home now. Sorry sorry~
  　　There will be less updates in the past two days, so I can’t help but go out. . . I hope my brother will forgive me and things will be back to normal by the third year of junior high school.

　　Once again, I wish my brothers a happy New Year, good luck, good luck in the Year of the Dragon, and good luck to the Oxen! ! !
