The Book of Appreciation

Zhou Lifu's voice suddenly became louder, and he didn't notice it at all. He picked up the pearl and looked at it carefully. After a while, he returned it to Yang Yanzhi and sighed:

"It was just dissected out not long ago. Good thing, it's hard to see such a large natural South Sea pearl now. Our family only collects a few of them every year."

Yang Yanzi casually handed the pearl to Zhou Yinger,

"You and Sister Mei each have one, men have no share!"

Zheng Huateng smiled bitterly and said:

"Let's talk, Ziyi, every time the lady receives the gift, the man does the work, what's the trouble this time?"

Xiao Yanmei took the pearl, kissed Zheng Huateng's cheek lightly, and said with a smile:

"Is it balanced now?"

Yang Yanzi put his little hand into the bag, and smiled triumphantly:

"Next, keep your eyes open!"

She flipped her tightly clenched fist open, and the two golden pearls in her palm shone with a blurred light under the dim light!

Zhou Lifu stood up from the sofa at once,

"So big!"

"(.5mm, 24.7.mm, how about it?"

Zhou Lifu took the (.5) pearl, looked at it repeatedly, and sighed while watching:

"It's terrible, it's terrible, Nanyang pearl grows so big, how many years does the clam live? The rare thing is that the shape and luster are not flawed, so it can be called a real jewel!"

"Unfortunately, I lost in rock-paper-scissors. The biggest one belongs to sister Linlin. I'm so mad!"

"This...you use rock-paper-scissors to distribute such precious pearls?"

Zheng Huateng asked cautiously.Although he doesn't know much about jewelry, but seeing Zhou Lifu's reaction, he also knows that these two pearls are something extraordinary. These two people actually...

Yang Yanzhang chattered about the dive in the morning, and Zhou Lifu smiled wryly:

"I really don't know how lucky you are. That big clam has worked so hard from Nanyang to the waters of Hong Kong Island. I don't know how much it has suffered. I didn't expect that it was a special trip to send you pearls."

Wu Di looked on coldly, thinking that although Zhou Lifu and Zheng Huateng were the sons of rich families, they were not as arrogant and arrogant as domestic government officials. A rich second generation like the mainland.

"Brother Zhou, I want to entrust you with the design of these two pearls and make them into two necklaces. How long do you think it will take?"

"It won't take much time. When our designers see such pearls, their passion for design will burst out in an instant. It's not surprising that my mother will do it herself."

"Ah! It would be great if Auntie would do it herself. Yinger, you must do this for me."

"I have nothing to do with taking your things. Ziyi, do you still have such a big pearl? Our family is willing to buy it at a high price."

"No more, and there are two pills that are only a little over 20, which are not particularly rare. Besides, sister Chang's is going to be given to her mother, and mine was snatched away by my sister-in-law."

"Black clothes..."

Zhou Lifu muttered to organize the language,

"There will be a jewelry exhibition in Milan at the end of next month. I would like to discuss with you. These two pearls will be designed and processed by Zhou Jewelry for free. After the processing is completed, can you lend us ten days and return them immediately after participating in the jewelry exhibition?"

"There's nothing wrong with mine. I don't think Sister Chang's problem is too big, right? Even if he and Brother Zhong get married, they shouldn't be in such a hurry!"

Chang Linlin didn't expect to sit at home behind closed doors, and the disaster came from the sky, she blushed immediately, and the two girls got into a mess for a while.

It was already two o'clock in the night when we got back to the villa, and it was drizzling on Hong Kong Island.After Wu Di washed up, he picked up the chicken blood seal and admired it for a while, then hugged the engraving block, and looked at the picture of Hanjiang sending off friends inside.At a glance, his complexion changed drastically!

The painting is still the same painting, but the picture has changed a lot, and it is raining on the picture!The person seeing off has already opened the umbrella in his hand, and the thin rain has connected the sky and the river into one, and the atmosphere of the whole picture is even more sad. Even Wu Di's emotions are affected by the sorrow of parting, and his breathing becomes short of breath. .

He put down the engraving block, ran to wash his face, smoked a cigarette, and continued to see through the engraving block.This time he focused his attention on the interlayer of the painting, and sure enough, the ink blobs and ink lines became wet, showing the shapes of umbrellas and raindrops.So far, the answer to the mystery has been solved, and it has not been solved. I have found the reason why the screen will change, but I can't understand what can cause such a magical effect!Why don't wet stains smudge?What the hell is an ink ball?Whether it has been changing like this for hundreds of years... Countless questions circled in Wu Di's mind, but unfortunately he couldn't find the answer.At this moment, he had a strong urge to take out this painting. How could such a masterpiece be wronged and hidden in an engraving?

Wu Di slipped into the kitchen, took a fruit knife, and carefully pried it up along the sticky seam of the engraving shown in perspective. After two hours, he was sweating profusely and finally took out the painting.

Put the engraving into the back pocket, then lie on the desk and carefully look at the strange painting that just came out. The angle of view of the eyes is different from the perspective of perspective. Although the picture is flat, Wu Di can see the height, distance, front and back, and The three-dimensional perspective is completely different, and one can't help secretly praising Tang Yin's skill.

Wu Di touched the umbrella lightly with a napkin, but found that there was no wet stain, and couldn't help but be amazed.I kept tossing and tossing until it was almost dawn before I fell asleep in satisfaction.

At ten o'clock, Wu Di was woken up, and the drizzle outside the window had turned into a torrential rain.Wu Di took a look and saw that the paintings on the desk were still there, so he went downstairs to eat.When Mr. Yang saw him, he smiled and said:

"It's raining heavily today, you can't go anywhere, just in time, let me show you my treasures, so that old man Chang won't say I'm stingy!"

Mr. Yang's collection is at least several times that of Mr. Chang's, but the number of high-quality goods is not as good.Among them, the one that Wu Di has admired the longest is a jade cong from the Liangzhu culture period.This square jade cong is blue in color, has heavy skin spots on the surface, and is a short square cylinder with a round hole in the middle.The outer wall is centered on the four corner lines, and two groups of animal face patterns are carved, separated by two string patterns up and down.A poem inscribed by Emperor Qianlong is engraved on the low surface of the cong body.

It's not that this item is more precious than others, but that it's the first time Wu Di sees such an ancient antique, and his feelings are deeper.

It was not until lunch time that the old and the young came out of the treasure room. Wu Di suddenly remembered that calligraphy and painting are most likely to deteriorate when they are just exposed to the air, let alone in a humid seaside like Hong Kong Island, the salt in the air will completely destroy a painting. World famous paintings that are poorly preserved.While cursing himself for being stupid, he was thinking about how to rush back to the capital quickly and let Mr. Yang mount that strange painting.He had already thought that if this painting was handed over to someone else for mounting, he was afraid that Mr. Yang's saliva would drown him.

Seeing that Wu Di seemed to have something on his mind, Mr. Yang asked:

"What? Are you under pressure? With your old master here, I'm afraid your collection will be much bigger than mine in the future."

"No, old man, I suddenly remembered something, I have to rush back to the capital immediately, but this rain..."

"Oh? What can you do, can someone else do it for you?"

"The main reason is that there is a painting that must be framed immediately, especially in the weather on Hong Kong Island. I am afraid that the weather will be sunny and everything will be too late."

"Oh? Are paintings very precious? Go back to the capital to find my brother?"

"That's right, if Mr. Yang knows that I have this painting and doesn't frame it for him, I'll be drowned by spitting stars!"

Mr. Yang was horrified and moved, so this painting must be very rare.There is no frame, could it be obtained in Hong Kong?

"Then take me to see it quickly, and take some basic protective measures first."

Wu Di led Mr. Yang into the room. As soon as he saw the painting on the desk, Mr. Yang never left his eyes. Fortunately, he did not leave, so he did not see Wu Di's gaffe.The picture at this time is different from what Wu Di saw yesterday.As if in response to the weather, there was also a torrential rain on the screen. In the rain, the distant mountains and nearby people became a hazy background. Only the rain curtain that fell to the ground and the roaring and rushing river seemed to be complaining to the sky. The world is so unfair!That kind of stubbornness, that kind of helplessness, that kind of unwillingness, is vividly displayed on the paper, and the artistic conception is so strong and obvious that Wu Di has never felt it from any painting.

"Farewell to friends in the rain, sadness hurts the autumn, the rain covers the sky, and the river roars! Tang Yin's painting is to send off friends, so why not send off his rough life! He screamed to the sky, and wanted the god to give him an answer! Since ancient times, beauties have been so unlucky, so why not this generation of talented people? This, this artistic conception, has reached the pinnacle of painting! It is unrivaled in ancient and modern China and abroad!"

Mr. Yang slapped the desk with his palm, which made Wu Di jump.

"Boy, didn't your master teach you? Silk painting and paper painting are different in material and ink. In a word, silk painting is much easier to preserve than paper painting. Just touch it, in such a humid weather, this painting Is there a trace of resurgence? But since I have seen this painting, I will regret it for the rest of my life if I don’t frame it, so I will take this job!"

"what?"

"Why? Don't you trust the old man's craftsmanship? Didn't my elder brother tell you that I studied in the same discipline as him, and my level has always been a little bit higher than his? By the way, kid, do you have any intention of selling this painting? You can go to Pick one at random from my treasure room, no, take two away, pick at random?"

Mr. Yang's expression resembled the wolf grandma who saw Little Red Riding Hood.

Wu Di shook his head firmly. Mr. Yang is not in a hurry. Anyway, people and paintings are here, and there is plenty of time to talk slowly.

Wu Di's idea is that even if you exchange everything in the treasure room, I will not agree!

The weather in the south really looks like a baby face. It was still pouring rain one moment, and the next moment it was cloudy and rainy, and the sun was high.After a meal, the weather also changed from torrential rain to clear sky.The old man put down the bowl and hurried into the studio, throwing Wu Di and the others in the dining room.Several other people didn't know the reason, and they were a little strange.Suddenly, a shout came from the studio:

"Which bastard stole my painting! I'm so mad!"

Wu Di was startled, and hurried to the studio.There are his paintings.

The door of the studio was wide open, and Mr. Yang walked out angrily. When he saw Wu Di, he said:

"Xiao Wu, wait a moment. I'll have someone seal off the villa right away. The painting is still there before dinner. It won't be far away in just 10 minutes. If you can't find it, I will give you an explanation if I lose everything!"
