Manor Romance

Chapter 109 Ren Fei
"Well, whatever you like, just take it away, don't be polite to me." Wang Yuyao put down the tea set, took her father Wang Chengyuan's arm, and told Yunli with a smile.

"Since the eldest lady said so, then I will not be polite." Yun Li put on a serious look, turned to face the display shelf on the side, hugged the support shaft with both hands and wanted to move it, but the display shelf did not move at all, he was helpless He spread his hands to the two and gave up.

"Haha, little brother is really interesting, but I'm also curious, if you were allowed to pick one, which one would be your favorite?" Wang Chengyuan laughed, and turned to Yunli and asked.

Without much thought, Yun Li pointed at the blue porcelain bowl at the end of the display shelf and said seriously: "I will choose it!"

Wang Chengyuan's father and daughter followed Yunli's hand and looked at what he was pointing at. It turned out to be a small light blue porcelain bowl. Interestingly, even from a long distance, everyone could still see the small porcelain bowl There is a meandering crack on it. I don't know if it is cracked due to age, or it is not well preserved, but it affects the appearance anyway.

"In our school, the local students used to have a saying, 'Thousands of choices, but one orange at the end of the basket'. There are so many good things to choose, but you choose a broken bowl. The taste is really different. , but this suits your personality quite well." Seeing what Yunli was pointing at, Wang Yuyao couldn't help laughing.

Wang Chengyuan was also a little curious about Yunli's choice, and asked, "Is there some deep meaning in choosing this porcelain bowl, little brother?"

Yun Li nodded slightly, and said: "If I'm not mistaken, this is a porcelain bowl from the Ming Dynasty, with two mandarin ducks painted on the side of the bowl, and the inscription on the bottom of the bowl, which is very consistent with the porcelain bowls from that time The one in Mr.'s collection, whether it is the tone or the outline, has retained the original state when it came out of the kiln. It can be seen that its original owner did not use it in daily life, and it is well preserved. Judging from the texture, it should not be man-made, but naturally cracked."

"What does this have to do with your choice of it? Are you also looking forward to finding one for your wedding? But this broken bowl doesn't have a good meaning, right?" Wang Yuyao asked puzzled.

"No matter how strong you are, no matter how good the maintenance measures are, they cannot withstand the erosion of the years. More and more collections are destroyed and disappeared. This is an unstoppable trend. Maybe one day, we have to change our own aesthetics Value, to accept imperfect objects, to spy on the art in regret. Perhaps it is because of the crack that we can participate in it, instead of being a pure bystander or admirer, if we can take a piece of incomplete art It is a great pleasure to let it continue to shine on the stage of history through its own transformation." Yun Li chatted freely.

"Haha, very interesting point of view, very interesting person, I can hear such interesting words in the morning, I think today will not be dull and boring." As soon as Yun Li finished speaking, there was a loud bell sound from the door The voice came from an old man. Wang Chengyuan and Wang Yuyao both showed delighted expressions when they saw this old man.

In fact, Yunli discovered the existence of the old man a long time ago. When they were talking about the porcelain bowl, the old man had already come outside the door and waited there. After Yunli finished what he just said, he couldn't help but walk in and speak praised.

The temperature is still relatively low now. The old man is wearing a thin light gray Chinese tunic suit. His waist is straight and he is very energetic. He looks about 60 years old. His hair is not much gray, his face is rosy, his eyes are bright, and he has a free and easy temperament. There is no cover up, and it is obvious at a glance that he is not an ordinary old man.

"Teacher, you are here, come and sit down, your favorite tea is ready."

"Master Ren, I made this tea, you should taste it carefully and see if I have improved this time."

Wang Chengyuan and Wang Yuyao's father and daughter respected the old man very much. Even Wang Yuyao, who was always lively and mischievous, rarely put on a dignified appearance when seeing the old man, which was slightly inconsistent with her usual temperament, but Yun Li felt that she It would be nice to keep it that way in the future.

"Don't talk about the teacher on the left, and the master on the right. I, Ren Fei, are not worse than you. If you don't believe me, let's run a few laps and see who can't hold it first." Even though the tone of Wang Chengyuan and his daughter are very respectful, but The old man seemed to dislike the word "old" very much, and got into a fight with the two of them.

"All right, all right, you know, don't mind this with us."

"Teacher, come and try this new batch of tea leaves."

Wang Chengyuan's father and daughter seemed to have gotten used to the old man's temper, they still had smiles all over their faces, and invited the old man to the tea table in front, and Yun Li followed, the four of them sat on the small tea table, and Wang Yuyao gave everyone a warm welcome. Pour a small cup of hot tea, and remind everyone to pay attention to burning their mouths.

"This should be the young man you mentioned. He is very good. At least in terms of awareness, he is more than a step above you, Wang Chengyuan. However, the remarks just now do not have much market in the current collecting atmosphere. "The old man Ren Fei was not afraid of being hot, so he took a few sips of hot tea and nodded in satisfaction.

Yun Li said modestly: "It's just a superficial omission, but the collections in Mr.'s room are all unique and quite tasteful."

Hearing Yunli's praise, Wang Chengyuan couldn't hide his smile and said, "It's just some gadgets. Compared with the teacher, I'm still far behind. The teacher is the real collector."

"Hey, you don't need to compliment me like this. The things here are really just small things. If you go to his house and look at those treasures that he has collected for many years, then you can really see what is called collection. How many of them are even my favorite?" I can't get this teacher." Ren Fei said while drinking tea.

Ren Fei's words made Wang Chengyuan a little embarrassed, and it was Wang Yuyao who came to help him out: "It's not like you don't know, I haven't even touched my dad's things a few times, so don't make fun of him. Besides, Don't you also have a bunch of treasures hidden away, the two of you are just laughing at each other."

"How long has it been since you graduated, little girl, and you have learned your father's tricks so quickly? But I just walked around, and the newly built park of your group is really not bad. When the policies here come out, it is estimated that it will take a new level. That's it." Ren Fei said seriously.

"The current situation is very different from the previous years. The newly baked cakes have long been divided into categories. Even if we are well prepared, we can only chase after some minor details." Wang Chengyuan said helplessly.

"Ambition, vision, ability, mind, you have all these conditions, but sometimes you are too aggressive and persistent. It is not easy to achieve such achievements at your current age. Look at the people who are at the same time as you. How many are unsuccessful, and how many are still doing useless work." Ren Feiyu said earnestly.

"Let's not talk about this, I forgot to introduce to you. This is my teacher, Mr. Ren Feiren. Although he has passed the retirement age, he is still active in the political arena and various social occasions. He has a great influence on the development of Southwest China. He has made outstanding contributions, is also a visiting professor at several universities here, and is also a well-known collector, quite famous in the circle."

After introducing Ren Fei, Wang Chengyuan went on to introduce Yunli: "This is the young man I mentioned to you earlier. His name is Yunli. He is a classmate of Yuyao's university. He is now running a manor in Banlu Mountain in Linshan County. It is very unique, and little brother Yunli also has a good collection of knowledge, very unique insights, he is quite an interesting person."

"Hello Mr. Ren." As soon as Wang Chengyuan finished his introduction, Yun Li stood up and stretched out his hand.

"It's really interesting. If I have the chance, I will definitely visit your manor. It's called Spotted Deer Manor, right? It's really rare for young people to be willing to do this." Ren Fei also extended his hand and shook hands with Yunli. hold, said with a smile.

Wang Yuyao also interjected: "His manor is very interesting. When you have time, old man, I will take you to have a look. It will surely open your eyes."

"Haha, it's best to have a girl to accompany you. Speaking of which, I'm not unfamiliar with Spotted Deer Mountain. I lived there for a while before, entered the mountain, and fought Spotted Deer. It's really an unforgettable memory. But now that the spotted deer are extinct, no matter how much you try to remember it, it will be futile." Ren Fei sighed.

"Don't lament this and that, I have something important to see you this time, did you bring the silk painting?" Wang Yuyao saw that they were sighing non-stop, so she couldn't hold back her temper and raised the important matter this time. This is what Yunli cares most about.

Ren Fei waved his hand and said, "The painting was sent to a friend for an exhibition, and I don't think it will come back for a while."

"Ah? Well, I told you a few days ago that I wanted to take a look, and you agreed without hesitation. What should I do? I can't break my promise." Wang Yuyao said aggrievedly, pouting.

"You are impatient, let the teacher finish first." Seeing Wang Yuyao's aggrieved look, Wang Chengyuan comforted him.

"Haha, what the old man promised you, when did you fall off the chain, this time not only can you see the paintings, but also many good things can open your eyes." Ren Fei replied with a smile.

Hearing Ren Fei's words, Wang Yuyao immediately put on a smiling face and asked, "Could it be that you want to take us to the exhibition?"

"Exactly, not only that, there will be an auction exchange meeting tonight, haven't you been clamoring to see it before, and this time I just brought you all there." Wang Chengyuan helped explain.

"I knew you were the best, so when shall we set off?" Wang Yuyao asked impatiently.

Wang Chengyuan shook his head with a smile, and replied: "The auction will be held at night, and the location of this auction is a bit special. It is in a blurred area on the border with neighboring countries. Teacher, that friend is also the auctioneer. One of the organizers of the meeting, we will participate in the auction first, and then look at the silk paintings, is there any problem?"
