Chapter 343: The Woman in the Painting
The old man of the Wen family just said that it was very similar, and he was a little unimpressed in his heart, but he didn't expect to see this portrait, and he really felt that the sentence was really too appropriate.
"The woman in this painting really looks like a leisurely person. Hongyi was also surprised to look at the woman in the painting, he can be regarded as well-informed, the two people who imagined it like this were really the first time to see each other, not to mention the blood inheritance that had been separated by many generations.
Old Man Wen smiled and didn't speak, just looked at everyone's surprised expressions, and put the scroll on the table in the living room for everyone to watch.
A few people looked at the portrait and didn't know what to say, it was so similar, it seemed to be painted according to the leisurely appearance, but fortunately, there were two people here who could see that this portrait was an old thing, at least something before the Qing Dynasty.
According to the age should be around the end of the Ming Dynasty, then it should be the master of the space of the previous generation, take a closer look at the woman in this painting, although she looks exactly the same as leisurely, but it should be older than leisurely age, the eyes can see that this woman is a very wise person, this portrait is very vivid, after a long time, I feel that the person in this painting seems to be reluctant, as if he is still smiling at the person who is looking at the painting.
"It is indeed very similar, her name is Lan Xue, once the Ming Dynasty was famous in the capital of the Lan family, she followed her father in business at the age of eight, at the age of thirteen, the Lan family's business did the entire Ming Dynasty territory, at the age of sixteen was the emperor at the time of the emperor personally awarded a gold medal to become the first imperial merchant at that time, only that gold medal can be used to trade the north and south of the river. When Old Man Wen said this, he didn't look at Youran, nor did he look at the portrait. It's like telling yourself a story. A story from a long, long time ago.
"That's amazing. Now it is definitely the richest man in China, and even becoming the richest man in the world is not necessarily, the woman of that era can break through the worldly concept and make her business so big, she must have worked a lot of effort. Listening leisurely to Mr. Wen's explanation, I had a kind of admiration for the woman in this painting.
Once leisurely and aware of the existence of this person, she had seen the handwritten diary left by the person in the painting in the space, and now she really heard her deeds and saw her appearance. The image of this woman became concrete in Yuran's heart.
"Yes, a woman like Lan Xue is really rare in the world, the day after tomorrow she married the Xue family, who is also a rich party, and became the eldest grandmother of the Xue family, she and her husband united the business of the Lan family and the Xue family to become bigger and bigger, and even the surrounding Goryeo and Ryukyu countries have their shops, and this portrait was painted by his husband himself for her. Old Man Wen continued to tell the story of the master who used to be served by the Zhang family.
"It turns out that she is married, yes, if she doesn't marry, where will she come from, hehe. "Youran is a little stupid. She is a descendant of this Lan Xue, if Lan Xue doesn't marry. Where is her, where are these descendants? The main reason is that Lan Xue in the portrait looks very small, although it is bigger than Youran, but it doesn't seem to be much bigger.
But leisurely thinking about it, the ancients got married relatively early, and I think it can be explained, the ancients were eighteen or nineteen years old, and they were old girls, and this Lan Xue should have married after becoming a royal merchant.
leisurely thought that in that era, although this Lan Xue made such a big business and had so much wealth, there may still be some people in many official eunuchs who look down on such a woman who shows her face all day long, so only a businessman's family with the same ideal and background can accept such a daughter-in-law.
But such a woman will definitely find a man she likes to marry, such a capable and assertive woman will not accept a blind marriage because of the urging and arrangement of her family, maybe Lan Xue and his husband also have some beautiful stories.
If this portrait is painted by Lan Xue's husband, then her husband must love her very much, otherwise it would be impossible to paint her so vividly, the two people who love each other in that era must be more moving, and their stories I don't know if I have a chance to hear them.
"Yes, so Miss Youran, this is your ancestor, you have some of the same blood, you are the descendants of all our clansmen surnamed Zhang who swore in front of their masters that they must protect more, from now on you are the master of my Wen family, we act on your orders, but by dispatch. Old Man Wen finally said this sentence, indicating the attitude of the Wen family.
Seeing that the old man was so old and kneeling down on one knee to salute, she didn't stop her, she knew that their Wen family recognized Lan Xue as the descendant of Lan Xue and the owner of the space, not for her leisurely, she is now accepting such gifts on behalf of Lan Xue. But even so, she should have allowed the ritual of confession to be completed. After all, after this formal confession, Youran will not let them perform such a big gift in the future, it can be regarded as a ceremony, and it can be regarded as a formal explanation to the people of the Wen family.
After the old man Wen finished saluting, he leisurely reached out to help him and asked him to get up. This can be regarded as an endorsement of the Wen family as his own people.
After that, the old man said, this Wen family is now only the old man Wen and Wen Wen's ancestors and grandsons, and everyone else is outside to inspect, this is an annual business inspection, the people of the Wen family will inspect all their own businesses in this half a month, originally the old man Wen was going to recognize the Lord before leisurely going to college, and then the family will come back, you can introduce them one by one, I didn't expect that Youran would invite Wen Wen to attend the teacher appreciation banquet at this time, so I had to advance the time of recognizing the master.
After Old Man Wen was helped up leisurely, he took the box on the table and handed it into leisurely hands.
"What is this?" Youran roughly guessed what it was, but he still had to make sure.
"What exactly is the thing we keep on our behalf, my ancestors didn't tell the descendants, so I don't know very well, but we can't open this thing, even if we want to peek at it, we can't do it, so we have to let the Lord personally look at it, and we can follow to see what our Wen family has protected for hundreds of years. Old Man Wen said half-jokingly, he really didn't know what was in the road, so he couldn't tell him if he asked him.
"Looks like I'm going to do magic again?" said with a smile.
Every time I feel like a magician who works miracles, and she always conjures up magical things in her hands. It's another wooden box, the same as last time, but the size looks smaller than the Qiankun Bagua Furnace that I got from the Han family last time, and the color of the box is still black, but this time there seem to be some dark lines on the black of the box, similar to the pattern of auspicious clouds but there are also different, this dark pattern is embedded in the box with a golden thread, I don't know what this golden thread is.
Leisurely gently touch the golden dark line of the box, slowly feel, as if it is a gold thread made of gold? No wonder it is so beautiful, although the gold thread is not used much, and it is embedded in the wood deeply, but you can still faintly see its own golden brilliance.
The people next to him looked at Youran carefully studying the box in his hand, and they didn't make a sound, and now Wang Xuan and Feng Yu already knew what the thing in Lu Dao's hand was even if they didn't explain it leisurely, and they had also seen the birth of the Han family's treasure.
Needless to say, he himself is also one of the top ten artifacts. So he's more concerned about what's in the box than anyone else.
This box should be made of a special material, although both Youran and Hongyi can feel that there is a faint spiritual power in it, but they really can't capture the information of this spiritual power, so maybe Wang Xuan is making a lot of fun, and Hongyi is more of a gatekeeper.
Just from the material and production process of the box, it can be seen that the things placed inside are very important things, and both Youran and Hongyi believe that it should be the treasure guarded by the Wen family, is it also an artifact?
At the beginning, the old man of the Han family just told Youran that after his ancestors separated the clansmen, they each guarded the treasures and left, but they didn't even know what they were guarding in their hands, let alone the treasures taken away by other clansmen. What the Han family took away was the Qiankun Bagua Furnace of the ancient artifact, and this thing in the hands of the Wen family, looking at this situation, it is very likely that it is also an artifact.
Youran and Hongyi guessed in their hearts, but the two didn't communicate much, at this time it is only serious to open this box as soon as possible, and when the box is opened, don't you know what is inside, and it is a waste of time to discuss it now.
"This box can only be opened by the Lord, we have no right and no ability to open it, do you want to open it now?" Don't look at the old man of the Wen family, but the excitement flashing in his eyes at this time is like a child. It's no wonder that this treasure that the Wen family has kept and guarded for many years, since the ancestors didn't know what was inside the road, and now he can finally see what is inside with his own eyes in his own generation, he can not be so excited.
"Okay. Looking at Old Man Wen's excited expression leisurely, he originally planned to study how to open the box now, but now seeing his expression, it is even more difficult to refuse.
After listening to Youran's affirmative reply, Old Man Wen didn't speak, and dragged a chair from the side to sit down next to Youran.
"Don't worry about me, don't worry about me, this person is old and old, and he can't stand his legs and feet for a long time, I'll just sit and watch, you can start. Old Man Wen's self-talk made Youran even more speechless. (To be continued......)
