Chapter 925: Conditions
Li Qian Haocheng wanted to come to Shi Lei again at night, but was rejected by Shi Lei, and Shi Lei made an appointment with Wei Bodhi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wei Bodhi did not make the appointment as scheduled, but came to a phone call and told Shi Lei that the ferryman had returned to the headquarters, and according to the headquarters test, he did have amnesia.
This means that the matter of the pupil of the night can be put aside for a while.
First of all, the amnesia of the ferryman was the biggest factor that caused the opposition of his leader to temporarily fall silent, and secondly, now that Wei Bodhi was his leader's assistant, that is, his spokesman, those people had to be weighed again.
At the very least, until the ferryman regains his memory, things over there can be put aside for a while.
In any case, this is also significant positive news.
Shi Lei had a good night's rest, and naturally got up early in the morning
At nine o'clock in the morning, Shi Lei had breakfast at the hotel, so he called Crawford and said that he could visit today.
Crawford was very happy and immediately said that he would come to the hotel to pick up Shi Lei in person now, and Shi Lei did not refuse, and after waiting for only twenty minutes, Crawford had already arrived.
Along the way, Shi Lei naturally chatted with Crawford about the art of calligraphy and painting, and mentioned the treasures of the Scola family by the way.
Crawford said very angrily: "Mr. Shi wants to see my family's collection?"
Shi Lei smiled and said, "If Mr. Scola can do it, it will naturally be great." Your family has a tradition of collecting, so you naturally understand that we, the lovers of calligraphy and painting, have a considerable obsession with the masterpieces of the ancients. ”
Crawford laughed and said, "If someone else makes such a request, it will be difficult for me to agree, but Mr. Shi, I will explain everything to my father and try my best to fulfill Mr. Shi's wish." ”
Shi Lei said gratefully: "Then thank you so much Mr. Scola." ”
"Mr. Shi is too polite, I will watch Mr. Shi wave in a while, it makes people very excited to think about it. I really didn't expect that there would be a day when Dingguang would see the light of day again. ”
"It's just a copy of the memory in his head, and Mr. Scola should not expect too much, and it may or may not disappoint Mr. Scola. ”
Crawford waved his hand and said: "That's impossible, I know Chen's attainments in calligraphy and painting, not to mention the approval of Mr. Bai, presumably, what Mr. Shi has restored is the appearance of the original." Even if there is a slight difference in the details, it is a great blessing for me to be able to see the image of the fixed light. Alas, it's a pity, Mr. Shi was too young back then, otherwise, he would have known the preciousness of the statue of Dingguang......"
Shi Lei smiled and waved his hand, and said, "What the old man showed me was also his copy, but the old man copied it on the spot, and its accuracy should be above me." Years later, I'm not sure if I'm accurate enough from memory. In Bai's family that day, he couldn't bear to be deceived by the imitation of the imagination of his descendants, otherwise, he really didn't dare to speak out like that. ”
Soon arrived at the castle of the Scola family, Jenny was also very happy to see Shi Lei.
When Duke Scola heard that Shi Lei had arrived, he also hurriedly came down from upstairs, just to witness with his own eyes how Shi Lei restored the image of Dingguang.
The pen and ink are all ready for Shi Lei, just wait for Shi Lei to adjust his mood and spirit, and wave it.
Shi Lei can actually do it at any time, he only needs to use the painting card to find Zhang Seng Xuan and make it possessed, and he can draw exactly the same fixed light image.
However, he has to put on some performances, otherwise it won't be good for people to see the clues.
When Shi Lei said that he was ready to paint at any time, Crawford stopped him.
Crawford glanced at Shi Lei and said to Duke Scola: "Father, Mr. Shi is willing to paint this portrait of Dingguang Rulai for our Scola family, but he has put forward one condition. ”
Duke Scola was stunned for a moment, glanced at Shi Lei, and seemed a little dissatisfied.
"Shi, you're not good like this, painting is art, how can there be any additional conditions?"
Crawford glanced at Shi Lei again, Shi Lei understood, and said: "Duke Scola, you can do this condition very casually, but for me, it is a very important thing. If you are not willing to equate art with conditions, then, since I promised Mr. Scola that I would paint you this fixed light image, I will do it. However, this painting, I must take with me, please forgive me for not being able to give it to you. ”
When Duke Scola heard this, he was anxious, and he said: "Shi, you are by no means a gentleman's doing, you shouldn't, you shouldn't. How can you do that?"
"Then you want me to paint you such a precious statue of Fixing Light for nothing, is it just for the sake of the gentleman?"
Jenny was puzzled by Shi Lei's words, although she didn't have much contact with Shi Lei, but through the descriptions of Fluttershy and Zhao Di, as well as the impressions she had left behind, she felt that Shi Lei was definitely not such a person.
But Crawford couldn't hide his smile, stood behind Duke Scola, and nodded desperately at Shi Lei, saying that this was too right, and it must be like this to deal with Duke Scola.
Duke Scola couldn't see his son's performance, but Jenny did, and she seemed to realize something.
Thinking of helping Shi Lei, Jenny said: "Grandfather, you might as well listen to Shi's request first, since he said that you can do it easily, it must not be a profit transaction." ”
Duke Scola sighed and said, "You young people are really bad at learning, how can art be related to the conditions? ”
Shi Lei smiled slightly and said, "I have long heard that the Scola family has countless treasures, and the outside world even says that the Scola family has a small British museum. Since Duke Scola is also a lover of art, he must be able to understand my feelings of joy when he sees it. I am honored to be a guest in your home, and it would be great if you would allow me to take a closer look at the treasures in your home. ”
Duke Scola glared and said, "I'm thinking about my family's collection!
Shi Lei smiled: "I am not worried about the treasures in your home, but as a lover of calligraphy and painting, I know that these treasures are in your home, but I have no chance to see them, which is really the biggest regret of my life." So, Duke Scola, please be considerate and lend me the collection in your home. Of course, I don't want to borrow these treasures, I can observe and learn them at the place you have specified. However, considering the large number of treasures in your home, and the fact that each of these paintings and calligraphy is a treasure of mankind, it may take a long time to refer to it. So, I hope you can give me a week to live with these calligraphy and paintings, so that I can take a closer look. ”
"A week's time? Don't even think about it! This is impossible! You can't be too greedy, these treasures are the result of my Scola family's continuous collection for hundreds of years, your request is too much!"
Shi Lei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your treasures, I know must be treasures of mankind, this is the artistic crystallization of the ancients." If they are simply shelved, the significance of these collections will be lost. Perfect works need to be recognized and learned by people in the same way. Duke Scola, I humbly hope that you will seriously consider it. ”
