Chapter 249, I don't want you to send it
Yan Xianghui is a painter who graduated from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, with a prefix: down-and-out.
In fact, Li He estimated according to Yan Xianghui's age that he should have gone to college in the 80s, and the people who could be admitted to university in that era were all proud of the sky, and the university of that era could really be called an ivory tower.
But it can also be naΓ―ve.
Li He found that Yan Xianghui really believed what he said, and felt that the township was really so closed and backward, and the men here could really have two wives, and he really wanted to paint a picture for them.
Li He said that he moved Ji Xiao and Sang Quinoa to work as models with him and asked Yan Xianghui to paint a picture, but he would not tell them what he said to Yan Xianghui, and he also told Yan Xianghui not to try to say more with his two "wives", so that he would not only not let him paint, but also beat him.
For this painting, Li He also went to the neighbor's house under the kanxia and borrowed a full set of wedding dresses that their daughter-in-law wore when she got married. From silver ornaments on the head, to silver collars, all kinds of accessories, as well as hand-embroidered wedding dresses, pleated skirts, leggings and cloth shoes, all of them.
Of course, it was for Ji Xiao and Mulberry to wear, but he wouldn't tell them that it was a wedding dress, because the wedding dress here was not red, but a blue background with red flowers, so Ji Xiao and Sang Quinoa were just blinded by the splendor and delicacy of the wedding dress, and they smiled very brightly.
"Sister-in-law compliments you on your beauty. β
It's true.
"Sister-in-law, I wish you happiness. β
This is also true.
For the rest, Li He said that I didn't understand it either.
As for Li He himself, he also wore a set of costumes worn by local young men when they greeted their relatives, but the men's wedding dress was much simpler, Ji Xiao and Sang Quinoa didn't have time to pay attention to what kind of clothes he was wearing, so they looked at each other's various jewelry pendants, and were obviously pitted by Li He because of the beauty of the costume, and praised him for understanding the girl's mind, so they wanted to get such a set of clothes to wear.
At this time, the painter Yan Xianghui was driven by Li He to the mountain to paint a big tree, there was a centuries-old tree behind the mountain, holding a canopy alone on a slope, Yan Xianghui was deeply attracted as soon as he went. Li He took advantage of this time to let Ji Xiao and Mulberry dress up, and by the way, he returned them and took a lot of photos of the three of them.
When Yan Xianghui came back, the "family of three" was dressed up, Li He was holding a reed sheng in his hand and pretending to play it, with a ribbon tied to the reed, Ji Xiao and Sang Quinoa each reached out to hold the ribbon on the left and right, and bent their legs and squatted on Li He's side.
This is not a photo, the styling is an afternoon, Li He himself is so tired that he wants to give up several times, but the two girls think the clothes are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and they watched the painter paint them very beautifully, and they squatted for an afternoon without saying anything.
After Ji Xiao and Mulberry went to remove their makeup and change their clothes, the painter Yan Xianghui looked at his painting and asked with a sad face: "Can I take the painting with me?"
Li He said: "You said that you painted it and gave it to me." β
Yan Xianghui said with a look of wanting to cry: "I said so, but the painting is so beautiful, I myself have been deeply moved, to be honest, I haven't painted such a beautiful painting, I really can't bear it." β
Li He shook his head and said, "You can take a picture with your camera and go back and repaint." β
Yan Xianghui said: "Art cannot be copied, even if I paint clothes, it may not still taste like this, let alone remake it with a camera." Okay, you can not give it to me, but don't sell it, and if you want to sell the painting one day, remember to sell it to me. β
Li He laughed, this is also an artist, he regards his works as very important, Li He feels that even if he wants to sell it, he has to make this painting valuable. Go back and ask someone to see if Yan Xianghui's paintings are worth anything, of course he won't sell this painting anyway, but if his paintings are worth it, he can trick him into painting a few more, but unfortunately he didn't care about the calligraphy and painting market in his previous life, so the calligraphy and painting in the memory bank are all Qi Baishi Zhang Daqian, contemporary painters, I really don't know.
After staying for another day, after being fooled by Li He and leaving 3 more paintings, the painter Yan Xianghui left, taking a backpack of Baogu given to him by Li He.
Ji Xiao and Sang Quinoa both felt that Li He was too picky, so you also killed a chicken for someone else and roasted it for him to take away, but Li He said shamelessly, this kind of thing is a work of art, it is worth a lot of money, and it is not worth it, it is just a piece of paper. Anyway, in Zhuchun Township, Yan Xianghui's 4 paintings can be exchanged for two days of food and accommodation, and there is wine and meat for every meal, which is already good, if he goes to someone else's house, he will have to pay for it.
This is obviously a strong word, but at some point, it is not entirely unreasonable. Song Huizong can paint, right? In the end, he died in the country. Or maybe in the last days, even the dollar will be wasted paper, let alone paintings.
However, Li He knew that he had taken advantage, and when he left, he also took these paintings with him. As soon as he returned to the provincial capital, except for the one of their "family of three", he hid it himself, and the other three paintings, he took them to find someone to see.
Some people in the know said that Yan Xianghui is still well-known in the circle, and his paintings are generally reluctant to sell, so what flows out is still worth a little money in the market. Someone else asked him if he wanted to make a move, Li He declined, since there is room for appreciation, he has no shortage of money, so let's still collect it.
Back in the provincial capital, Ji Xiao's vacation is almost over, although there are still a few days left, she still has to go back to the capital, and the school will arrange to leave the country, while her parents and family are in the capital, waiting for her to go over for a few more days to reunite. So after all, Ji Xiao will have to leave the provincial capital for one day at most, and this is Li He asking her to take a plane, if she takes a train, they have to go from Spruce County to the provincial capital in advance.
"Don't you really need me to send you to the capital?" Li He was actually a little entangled in this question, it seemed that Ji Xiao didn't tell her that she had a boyfriend at home, and they still knew this boyfriend. Li He was depressed, could it be that he couldn't do it himself?
"My parents know about you. Ji Xiao didn't know Li He's thoughts, and comforted him: "Otherwise, will they let me follow you all over the world during this time?" But if you want to meet them, we will not be so free, and besides, not only do I not want you to send me to the capital, but you don't even want you to send me to the airport. After a pause, her eyes were shining, but she said to Li He with a smile: "Li He, I don't want to cry too embarrassed, do you understand?"
"But ......"
"No, Mulberry will take me to the airport tomorrow. β
Uh, what kind of rhythm is this? Don't let me send it, let Mulberry send it? When did Ji Xiao and Mulberry have such a good relationship? Even if you don't let me send it, Zhao Yong and Kang Xingjian are also in the provincial capital, is this going to have a showdown with Mulberry? But it seems that there is nothing to talk about in the showdown, because Mulberry and Li He don't have anything substantial, not even ambiguous.
I don't know, I can't think of it, Ji Xiao's personality is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and no one can change what she decides, so she can only go.
Before leaving, Li He and Ji Xiao stayed at the lakeside hotel where they stayed after watching the fireworks that night, but this time, they didn't linger, but just opened the curtains, sat side by side in front of the window, turned off the lights, and quietly looked at the city. From the green mountains to the brilliant lights, the change of space creates a sense of disparity as if those days were like a previous life.
Accompanied until late at night, in the end it was a gift to be opened, there was no madness of the storm, only extreme gentleness.
After hugging each other, they refused to sleep, and it was not until it was about to dawn that Ji Xiao took a nap in Li He's arms for an hour or two. Then she took advantage of Li He's also asleep, quietly got up and took a shower, changed her clothes, closed the door lightly, and left.
Li He heard the sound of the door closing, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Isn't it too Qiong Yao? However, Ji Xiao's trip is really far away, and the time is so long. Li He also thought of a question, that is, the thing she studied, after returning to China and graduating, I am afraid that there is a great possibility that she will not return to Tiannan Province, right? I don't know what kind of police it will be, but don't enter any secret department, otherwise, even if she returns to China, it will not be easy to meet, and even the marriage partner will have to be reviewed......
Ji Xiao, I'm afraid she also thought of this layer, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't have hidden so many things in the beginning, and she wouldn't have cried so sadly.
Li He walked to the window, opened a crack in the curtain, and looked at the street outside the hotel, which was already full of traffic.
Ji Yu knew that Li He was not asleep, but she wanted to be decisive, how could she be successful without Li He? The moment she closed the door, tears flowed out. I didn't want to wipe it, so I stood quietly outside the door for a while, and finally dragged my suitcase into the elevator.
The car was booked in the hotel, it was a very considerate service, and of course the cost was not low, but at this time, whether it was Li He or Ji Xiao, they didn't care about the money. I looked back at the floor where I lived last night, got in the car, and simply let the tears flow out wantonly.
The driver saw it in the rearview mirror, but in the city, similar stories are up and down, and they are played out every day, what can he say? The difference is probably that this girl is not only good-looking, but also has no makeup, and no matter how much she cries, she is not afraid to put on makeup and cry.
When the airport arrived, Ji Xiao checked his luggage, got his boarding pass, and sat down in the cafΓ© in the hall before it was early. Li He gave Ji Yu a card, Ji Yu did not refuse, she was not a hypocritical person, and when she went out, there were many places to use money. Their family is an ordinary working family, and their income is not bad, but it is far from being rich, especially after buying the house of a relative's family in the capital, their parents are a little tight. She didn't look at how much money was in the card, and it was enough to think about it.
Ji Xiao's cup of coffee hasn't been finished yet, and the mulberry has arrived.
