Shangguan Yu frowned and bowed slightly, "Well, this seems to be reasonable." ”

"I hope Shangguan can provide clues!" Yu Yao said earnestly.

Shangguan Yu let out a long breath, "Not long after I arrived in the United States, I met someone by chance. He is how he is wet. ”

"He Yimao is He Shangshan's descendant? It turns out that his descendant is in the United States!" Yu Yao couldn't help but answer.

Shangguan Yu nodded, "He should be He Shangshan's son, but this is all his own words, and I have no way to verify it." When I met He Yimao, he was in his seventies. My father was fond of calligraphy and painting, so I had some foundation since I was a child, and I am not modest to say that I also have some talent. That's why I'm willing to give me advice. ”

Yu Yao thought to himself, it turns out that Shangguan Yu's eyesight came from this! He Shangshan's son He Yimao, that eyesight must be good!

"However, he died before I returned home. ”

"Huh, does he have any offspring?" asked Yu Yao eagerly.

"Don't worry, since I'm going to tell you, listen to me first. Also, you said that there is a relationship, maybe we will help each other in the future. Shangguan Yu pressed his hand.

Yu Yao didn't speak again, lit a cigarette and listened carefully.

"Last year, at Galde's autumn auction in New York, there was a painting called "Red Carpet Baby", which sold for more than 20 million US dollars, I don't know if you have heard of it?" Shangguan Yu looked at Yu Yao.

"Western paintings?"

"Yes. ”

"It doesn't seem to be paying attention. ”

"The inscription of this painting, yes. ”

“？”

"Yes, it's funny that the abbreviation of a name translation is also his own translation, hat to ash ith? Shangguan Yu's expression suddenly became lonely and embarrassed, "The water of the waves is clear, you can wet me, and the water of the waves is turbid, you can wet my feet." But what water can wet my heart?"

When he heard it, Yu Yao seemed to have a vague impression, but it was also very vague. He really doesn't pay much attention to Western paintings.

"It's been almost ten years since he died. Before his death, the most expensive painting sold was only a few hundred dollars, but I didn't expect that in the past few years, his works have been auctioned at high prices one after another, and the highest is last year's "Red Carpet Baby". ”

When Yu Yao heard this, it seemed that his life in the United States was not easy before his death.

"He's a mixed-race child and his mother is American. However, his mother died when he was a baby, and his father, Ho Shangshan, said he died of cancer when he was in his twenties. Shangguan Yu continued to introduce.

When Shangguan Yu knew He Yimao, he was already an old man, and he didn't tell Shangguan Yu much about his life and past, and what Shangguan Yu said was only a rough idea of what he knew.

When He Yimao was in his twenties, He Shangshan died. Within a few years after his death, He Yimao was still worry-free, because He Shangshan left a lot of family property.

However, why did he become obsessed with a woman later, and he was cheated out of all his family property by this woman and his accomplices.

"How can it be so easy? Are there any calligraphy and paintings left by He Shangshan in the family property?"

Yu Yao didn't ask this sentence, but just looked at Shangguan Yu.

Shangguan Yu seemed to understand the meaning in Yu Yao's eyes, "The specific process, if he doesn't say, I can't know, but there are no strange things in the world." The family property was defrauded, and only two calligraphy and paintings remained. These two calligraphy and paintings, why did they refuse to sell them when they were at their worst. One of them is He Shangshan's imitation of "Hairpin Lady". ”

He spent the second half of his life in a hut.

I don't fall asleep until dawn, I don't get up until the afternoon, and the time to paint is basically at night when the lights are in hand.

It is very strange that why Mao obviously has a deep foundation in Chinese painting, but the works he creates are mainly Western paintings.

Yu Yao seemed to be able to imagine a small dilapidated room, messily piled up with various painting tools and materials, mottled and moldy walls, narrow beds, and filled with an unpleasant smell······

Shangguan Yu knew him because he came back from playing football once, passing by the vicinity of He Yimao's residence, and a few classmates were in high spirits, and opened his foot again, but he accidentally kicked the ball into the window of the hut, the glass shattered, and the ball went in.

The other classmates dispersed in a hurry, and Shangguan Yu stubbornly apologized. The door was not locked, and when I pushed the door, I saw an old man lying on the bed with a high fever, his chapped lips colliding, and making a faint sound: "Ater······"

Shangguan Yu sent He Yimiao to the hospital and paid the medical bills.

Since then, Shangguan Yu will go to this hut whenever he is free, and often bring food, drinks, and medicines······

And why did he give Shangguan Yu his amazing eyesight and painting skills.

On the eve of Shangguan Yu's graduation from university, why did he pass away suddenly.

A down-and-out genius, he spent the second half of his life alone, and in the last twilight time, there was an extra Shangguan Yu.

He Yimao's works were basically sold cheaply during his lifetime, and there were only a few of the last ones he left for Shangguan Yu. There are also two calligraphy and paintings that were not created by him, one is an authentic work and the other is an imitation.

The imitation is the "Hairpin Lady".

Plus, there's a list.

On the list, there are more than 20 names and characteristics of ancient Chinese imitation paintings. These are what He Shangshan imitated in China back then. Of course, this includes this "Hairpin Lady", but the others don't know where they have gone.

What are these imitations painted for, and what are they flowing out, why didn't he say anything, before he died, he just told Shangguan Yu that if he encountered it, don't be blind.

The remaining one of the authentic works and a copy of the "Hairpin Lady" have also been explained.

"This authentic painting is given to you, which is the fate of you and me. This is the penultimate sentence that He Yimao left for Shangguan Yu before he died.

However, Shangguan Yu did not say what this authentic painting was. This Yu Yao is understandable.

And the penultimate sentence is: If you have the opportunity in the future, go to Huaxia to find a person named He Yidi, or his descendants, and give him the "Hairpin Lady".

He Yidi is his half-brother.

The penultimate and final sentence is: Our lives are too short, and the charm of art is eternal.

Speaking of this, Shangguan Yu stopped for a while, he took Yu Yao's cigarette case by himself, and silently lit a cigarette, "This He Yidi, older than He Yimiao, is also born during the Republic of China, it is really difficult to find, I have no clues." ”

Slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, Shangguan Yu continued, "When you said He Shangshan, I was surprised. However, after the temptation, you don't know the imitation of the Republic of China "Hairpin Lady". After thinking about it, I decided to let you look at the painting and talk to you in person. It turns out that you, like me, are also looking for He Shangshan's descendants, to be exact, He Yidi's descendants. ”
