Reborn Jewelry

Chapter 64 Kindness
For Chu Ning, it was a surprise that Duan Yan could be repaired, but now it was only a month's wait, so it was not a problem at all.

She was about to say yes, but Shi Jin, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly said, "Auntie, is the work you are busy with an ancient painting that my mother asked me to bring over?"

Xi Yutong glared at her nephew unceremoniously: "What an ancient painting, it is Zhang Hong's handed down work, "The Picture of Autumn Forest in Myriad Valleys"! Even if I sell you brat, you can't compare to a painting corner! "

Chu Ning was a little shocked.

Zhang Hong, a representative figure of the Wumen painting circle in the late Ming Dynasty, was especially good at landscapes.

His paintings of mountains and rivers have always been full of mountains and rivers and deep valleys in autumn. They not only inherit the characteristics and style of Wumen School of Painting, but also have a very strong personal atmosphere, which is very rare.

Because of his many years of travelling, Zhang Hong's landscape paintings have a more taste of life than others, with fresh pictures and ethereal artistic conception, which are highly respected by Wumen scholars.

The so-called Wumen actually refers to Suzhou.

Suzhou got its name because it was the capital of the ancient Wu Dynasty.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were many famous scholars and painters, all of whom were from Suzhou.Gradually, the Wumen School of Painting and School became a scale.

In addition to Zhang Hong, there are also well-known Wen Zhengming, Tang Yin, Qiu Ying and others, all from Suzhou.

Zhang Hong has many works handed down from generation to generation, and "The Picture of Autumn Forest in Myriad Valleys" is just one of them.

However, most of his works are collected by major museums at home and abroad, and only a few of them fall into the private collections of private collectors, and they will not be easily shown to outsiders.

Chu Ning, the famous name of "The Picture of Autumn Forest in Ten Thousand Valleys", has heard of it for a long time, because her father Chu Yinglue loves ancient paintings very much. When Chu Ning heard him talk about many famous ancient paintings when she was a child, her ears could almost hear the calluses.

It's just that she didn't expect that she just came to restore the ancient inkstone, and she heard the whereabouts of this famous ancient painting here!

Zhang Hong's handed down works, the worst ones cost millions!Although Xi Yutong's joke about Shi Jin was a bit exaggerated, it is not too much in terms of the historical and artistic value of "The Picture of Autumn Forest in Myriad Valleys".

"Auntie." Shi Jin helplessly glanced at Xi Yutong who didn't save himself at all, "You probably haven't had time to repair that painting, right? Anyway, my mother is not in a hurry, why don't you fix this one first Duan Yan is ready."

The three present were all taken aback, apparently none of them expected Shi Jin to say that.

Xi Yutong didn't have time to think about why his cold-tempered nephew would suddenly speak for others, so he shook his head and said, "You guessed it wrong. The restoration of the picture of the autumn forest in the myriad ravines started yesterday, and it is impossible to stop it." come down."

The restoration of antiques has always been very complicated and troublesome. If you don't pay attention, not only will the restoration fail, but even bigger problems may occur, which will accelerate the ruin of the antiques.

Not to mention the sudden interruption of the repair process, which will bring greater hidden dangers.

Shi Jin knew Xi Yutong quite well. Hearing what Xi Yutong said, he immediately realized that what he said before was a little rash.

After living for 29 years, it seems that this is the first time he has done such a stupid thing.

What happened to yourself?
It seemed that he couldn't help but want to take care of that little girl surnamed Chu.

Maybe it's because she looks so cute, especially like a little white rabbit raised by a comrade-in-arms sister?
Chu Ning heard that Shi Jin wanted to help her. Although she didn't know why and didn't really help her, she was always kind.

I had slandered him in my heart before, but I was a little cautious when I said it.

And since Xi Yutong said no, Chu Ning didn't want to embarrass Shi Jin, so she hurriedly said, "It's okay, Teacher Xi, I'm not in a hurry, you can help repair it when you are free."

Xi Yutong looked at Chu Ning with satisfaction, then turned her head and stared at Shi Jin again: "Look at you, you are already 30 years old, and there is no other girl who can speak sensible!",
Shi Jin's expression became even more helpless: "Auntie, I'm only 29 years old this year!"

Where is thirty?

Xi Yutong said solemnly: "Hasn't your 29th birthday passed? Since it has passed, then you are 30 years old! Besides, is there a difference between 29 and [-]?"

Of course there is a difference!

Even Shi Jin, who didn't notice the issue of age at all on weekdays, deeply felt the difference brought about by these two numbers.

The former can pretend to say that he is still a young man in his 20s, but the latter... once a man turns 30, he seems to be an uncle, and he sounds half-old!

But Shi Jin didn't dare to argue with Xi Yutong at this point.

The reason, of course, was that he couldn't compete with the quick-spoken Xi Yutong.

Besides, he was lucky enough to win the fight, and if he pissed off his aunt who had always been weak, that would be a big deal!

Shi Jin shut his mouth wisely.

Professor Han was very familiar with Shi Jin and Xi Yutong. Seeing the two bickering, he just watched with a smile, apparently already used to it.

While Chu Ning watched the relationship between them, her mood suddenly became a little depressed.

Since the death of her grandfather, she has never felt the joy of bickering with her family at home.

Shi Jin was keenly aware of Chu Ning's emotional changes, but he didn't know why, he just kept paying attention in his heart.

He made an appointment with Xi Yutong for the restoration of the Duan inkstone. Seeing that Xi Yutong's face was a bit tired, Professor Han took Chu Ning and said goodbye with interest.

Who knew that Xi Yutong waved his hands and said, "You just came here and you are in a hurry to leave. What's the matter, are you afraid that I will eat you? I still have something to ask you, so follow me to the studio."

Chu Ning could tell that this teacher Xi was indeed in poor health, but he had a big temper.

It's just that such a temper doesn't seem to be good for her physical cultivation!

Seeing that Professor Han and Shi Jin both looked accustomed to seeing each other, Chu Ning naturally could only remain silent.

"What do you have to ask me?" Professor Han asked curiously, "Why didn't you say it on the phone before?"

Xi Yutong said impatiently: "Anyway, you have to come here. Wouldn't it be easier to tell in person? Didn't you just come back from the ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty not long ago? The city plans to use this name to make a big scene this time. I came out and found me, but I haven't agreed to make a move yet, I want to ask you about the situation first."

These things are not suitable for juniors to listen to.

Professor Han nodded.

Xi Yutong led Professor Han to the studio, while Chu Ning was left in the living room, eye to eye with Shi Jin.

Shi Jin had no experience in entertaining girls, and felt that Chu Ning seemed to be inexplicably resistant to him, so he thought for a while and said, "Based on my experience, they shouldn't be able to finish talking in a while. Otherwise, you can go to the study Wait a minute?"
