Chasing Goldfinger - Chapter 290 Treasure

Han Geng saw Ximenjing's father and the others approaching, and wanted to leave with Lulu, but Lulu didn't think much of it, and pushed Han Geng to leave, but at this time the people on the opposite side had already walked over, looking at the painting half of them , to start the discussion.

"Mr. Ximen, look at this painting. It is said that it is the work of a relatively famous painter in modern times, and it is very valuable. But with our current level, we can't see the value of this painting at all. Can you introduce this painting to us all?" Do you want to draw?" A voice said to Ximenjing's father with a more respectful voice.

Han Geng was a little surprised. In fact, he had always thought that even though Ximenjing's father had a certain degree of cultural accomplishment, he was mostly arty in painting and calligraphy. After all, when he saw Zhang Daqian's painting at the beginning, he had no way to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, but Han Geng also underestimated his ability, not everyone has his ability.

Now when someone asked about Ximenjing's father, Han Geng smiled and didn't say much, but Lulu was a little curious and stopped in her tracks. She didn't know that Han Geng knew Ximenjing's father.

Ximenjing's father was actually a little surprised to see Han Geng and Lulu. These two people are actually here. Before, they thought they might wander somewhere. It seems that this couple is also interested in oil paintings, but they don't know them. Do you really understand.

Especially the man who looks like Han Geng, he is not sure if this is Han Geng, but if he is Han Geng, he should say hello to himself anyway.

Now when I hear someone asking myself, I have no choice but to keep this doubt in my heart and tell others: "Actually, although this painting itself is considered top-quality, it cannot be regarded as valuable. The key lies in the story itself. Collectors love to talk about it."

Everyone listened attentively to what Ximen Jing's father said. Everyone knew that although this old Ximen may not have strong calligraphy and painting skills, he was very familiar with various works, miscellaneous anecdotes and anecdotes, and he could always say something that others did not know.

Hearing that he seems to be telling a story now, everyone is also very curious, wondering what story this painting can be related to.

Lulu was equally curious, and instead of pushing Han Geng away, she kept a distance from them so that she could listen to what they were saying without disturbing them. As for Han Geng, she would definitely not object, he was being pushed, The initiative is in Lulu's hands.

Even so, he couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. It seemed that he couldn't do anything if he didn't want to meet Ximenjing's father, but he didn't plan to meet Ximenjing's father, so let him have doubts in his heart.

Let's not talk about the secrets of my injury, it just depends on the fact that I brought Lulu with me. If Ximenjing's father finds out that he is Han Geng, the relationship with Ximenjing will definitely not be allowed in the future. Han Geng didn't want to be stupid for sweeping the floor out by himself.

Anyway, even acquaintances may not recognize his current image, and Ximenjing's father, who has little contact with him, should have no way to be sure that he is Han Geng.

Here, Ximenjing's father has suppressed his doubts about Han Geng in his heart, and preached to these young generations: "This painting is said to have been made by a famous painter in the [-]th century, and he made this painting." The purpose is to commemorate my deceased lover."

"Is his lover the protagonist of this painting? But why is it half-person? Is it an artistic statement?" Girls seem to be interested in such love stories, and a girl wearing glasses raised her own doubts.

Ximenjing's father smiled and said: "Speaking of which, this story has been circulated for a long time. As for whether it is true, no one can verify it. We only know that the person in the painting is indeed his lover. It is said that the reason why there is half of it is because this woman has died. Gone, in the eyes of that painter, she is not complete anymore, as you all know, some painters' thoughts are a little bit of that."

Everyone nodded, expressing their understanding. No matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, some painters’ thoughts are indeed very special, even incomprehensible, such as Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet and others. Although their paintings are always speculated about their meaning, they don’t know What did the author mean in the first place.

Listening to Ximenjing's father now, everyone understands that the author is probably also a person with unique thinking, expressing his feelings in abstract ways.

"And the artist drew this painting at the beginning, there was another meaning, that is, because this painting is related to a treasure, no one has ever opened it, and naturally there is no way of knowing how much money or treasures are in this treasure. Knowing that this painting is equivalent to a map.” Ximenjing’s father changed the topic from the oil painting itself to the story.

This time it was a boy who exclaimed in surprise: "No way, this painting is actually a map, so how can it be placed here? Mr. Ximen means that the treasure marked on this painting has not been excavated yet?" "Yes, If such a painting is in the hands of anyone, not everyone will have a large fortune, but more than 100 years have passed, why has it not been discovered, this legend must be false." At the same time, other people also raised doubts.

Han Geng and Lu Lu looked at each other. They were really not familiar with the painting of half people, and they didn't know what the painting meant. Now when they heard Ximenjing's father's painting, their hearts moved at the same time. The rumors are true.

Ximenjing's father had a good time, he knew that his story had attracted everyone's attention, and at the same time he also found that the man and woman had not left, no matter whether they were Han Geng and his friends or not, Ximenjing's father still smiled and said: " This is a legend, and it is true that no one finds it."

"It is said that the painter's beloved woman is the daughter of a great European nobleman. He likes her very much, but the other party's family disagrees. Until the daughter committed suicide, they failed to fulfill the two people. The painter hated this nobleman very much, and finally contacted her. Foreigners wiped out this family, and he planned to poison all the invaders to death. In the end, the property of these big families was hidden by the painter, which is the source of the treasure. A large noble family in Europe has How much wealth, I don’t need to tell you, you should be able to guess.” Ximenjing’s father finished the story in one breath.

In fact, the story is very simple, because of the tragedy caused by the family status, it finally caused a tragic story, but the protagonist of this story, that is, the author of this painting, is really a ruthless character. Get out of the way.

Although everyone knew that this was a story heard by Ximenjing's father, they still felt chills down their spines when they thought that the author of this painting had endured the humiliation and planned it for a long time.

"This author is really ruthless. He is almost catching up with you. He has a lot of narrow-mindedness and a lot of ideas." After listening to Ximenjing's father tell the story, Lulu smiled and whispered in Han Geng's ear.

Han Geng couldn't laugh or cry, how could he contact himself, but he thought of another meaning, since this painting can be regarded as a treasure map, it shouldn't have been found for so many years, but this time Lulu's The mission is to steal the painting, which seems a little possible.

After Ximenjing's father finished speaking, the people on their side had already asked in unison: "Old Ximen, the reason why this painting is so valuable is that someone wants to use this painting to find treasure?" While enviously saying: "If someone loves me so much, it would be great, for revenge, they have done so many things."

Her painting made all the men present feel ashamed. Girls and men really have different thinking angles. Men care more about the wealth that the painting may bring, while women pay more attention to the illusory love.

Ximenjing's father was very satisfied with the effect of his storytelling. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Han Geng and Lulu whispering. Judging from their closeness, they should be a couple. Although this man looks a bit like Han Geng , but not of the same type.

In the eyes of Ximenjing's father, Han Geng is a handsome man with a high level of culture, especially in calligraphy and painting. He is definitely a master, but the man in front of him is an intellectual, very close to his temperament.

He has always believed that a person's appearance can be changed, but his temperament cannot be changed, which is accumulated over a long period of time.

The doubts about Han Geng eased in his heart, and he was still dealing with the person in front of him: "This is just a legend. As for what it is, I have no way of verifying it, but only from the painting itself, although it is top-grade, it is not too valuable. High, but if you look at it from the perspective of the legendary treasure map, it’s invaluable.”

"Old Ximen, what you just said about the treasure map is illusory after all. Except for us who listen to it as a story, will anyone really believe it?" The person who asked Ximenjing's father to speak at the beginning asked curiously.

"It's hard to say. If we talk about it here, no one should believe that it is really a treasure map, but it's hard to say about those European families." Ximenjing's father pondered for a while before saying: "Because someone recorded it at the time, There was indeed a wealthy family in the painter's hometown, which fell in a short period of time, and it is said that it was captured by others."

Whether it was the people around Ximenjing's father, or Han Geng and Lulu, they couldn't help but take a breath. If there were no paintings behind them, they could only be regarded as stories, but if there were paintings behind, this painting would be more interesting. Much more mysterious.

Maybe someone deliberately connected this painting with this incident, maybe it was a coincidence, but anyway, as long as there is a certain connection, some big families probably won't care about this little money.

Now Han Geng and Lulu understand better than everyone else, no wonder the employer wanted someone to steal this painting, it turned out to have other meanings, even if it can’t be said to be a real treasure map, at least someone must be paying a high price for this painting, There's just not a logical way to get it.

If this painting is really related to a treasure, no matter who gets the painting, they probably don't want others to know, and they also understand why they don't have to buy it, but steal it.

If Lulu gets her hands on this painting and gives it to her employer, then no one who wants to know the whereabouts of this painting will be able to find out. If the treasure is really found, then the treasure will be swallowed up , that is definitely not a small bibliography.

The property of the ancient family in Europe and China, no matter who is jealous, even those rich people may not be able to have as much property as an ancient family, not to mention that a hundred years have passed, and some ordinary things at the beginning are already antiques.

Calculated in this way, no matter what is in the treasure, it is valuable. Han Geng and Lulu already understood the meaning of the employer.

Ximenjing's father said over there: "Although this painting represents so many advantages, it also has disadvantages, and the reason why it can be exhibited is probably because these disadvantages have affected it. It was auctioned tonight, and it was one of the lots."
