Chapter 19: Painting in the Stone
After eating, Wu Di remembered the painting in the brick inkstone, and quietly asked Zhong Qi if he knew any auction company, Zhong Qi replied without hesitation:
"Yes, fourth brother, I have friends all over the world, and there is really a buddy who opens an auction house, what do you want to shoot?"
"There is a painting that seems to be Shi Tao's. I want to find someone to identify and frame it again, but I don't know anyone, and I'm afraid of being cheated, so I want to find an auction company to appraise it for free, and then I will talk about whether I send it to auction or not. ”
"Shi Tao!"
Zhong Qi shouted loudly, immediately covered his mouth again, and whispered:
"Are you sure it's Shi Tao's? If it's a large-scale boutique, it's in demand, let's go, I'll go over and have a look first. ”
I haven't written a word about this yet! How dare Wu Di let him follow? Just as I was about to excuse myself, the old man came to the rescue,
"Where are you going? From today, you will be grounded for a month, and when you get out of this courtyard, I will break your dog's legs. ”
"Dad, I'm just sending Xiao Wu home."
"What kind of home are you going back to, isn't this home? Xiao Wu is not allowed to leave, and tomorrow he will directly send you to work, and he will take the appraisal things to your Uncle Chang. ”
Wu Di was worried about the paintings at home, but he didn't dare to argue with the old man, so he gritted his teeth and pointed at Zhong Qi and didn't dare to speak. Zhong Qi hummed a song and dangled in front of his eyes as if he was nothing, and Wu Di's teeth were itching with hatred, and he just wanted to pounce on him and take a big bite.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Xiao Wu should be annoyed if he continued to play, Zhong Qi rolled his eyes and said:
"Let's go, look at your car."
How can a boy not love cars? Wu Di didn't resist the temptation, and walked out with him, and his mouth was unforgiving:
"Fourth brother, this matter is not over yet......
"Hehe, the brothers should share weal and glob, right? Besides, you really don't take this side as your home, okay, I'll tell the old man to go, no one will dare to care about you after keeping it! ”
“…… You're ruthless! ”
The next day, after reporting to the company, Wu Di went straight to the rental house, suddenly remembered something on the way, couldn't help but shout bad, and couldn't wait to fly back directly, it turned out that when he remembered to leave, the brick inkstone was thrown into the water by him, how can the painting withstand the blisters? If the brick inkstone shows a crack, I'm afraid that the painting will be ruined!
Rushed upstairs and into the bedroom, and it was fine! Wu Di let out a sigh of relief, the water in one place, the plastic basin leaked sometime, and the brick inkstone was well placed in the basin, except for the bottom was a little wet, the other parts were already dry. Wu Di didn't care about cleaning, picked up the brick inkstone and checked it carefully, the slurry was a little dark, but there were still no gaps.
Do you want to use a knife to pry? Suddenly remembered that there was still a piece of wool, and he didn't care about the brick inkstone, so he picked up the stone placed next to the monitor and solemnly put it on the book of heaven.
For a moment, Wu Di took away the wool, and the book of heaven really had instructions,
"Natural jadeite, glass species, imperial green!"
It's against the sky, luck is really against the sky! Wen Yaru had been looking for a stone for many years but couldn't find it was picked up by Wu Di casually and returned it to his hand, is this considered a treasure? Wu Di couldn't help but want to call Wen Yaru, but suddenly became alert, this is still a stone! Well, just call him when you solve the stone.
Wu Di probably knows the price of jadeite, although this piece of glass is not very large, but as long as it is as big as an egg yolk, it is enough for him to buy a car and a house. Since this is the case, he is not in a hurry to take the painting first, and he suddenly feels a little unbearable when he thinks of destroying the brick inkstone.
But in a blink of an eye, Wu Di shouted bad again, not only Zhong Qi knew about this, but the old man also had instructions, what should I do if I can't see things when the time comes? Besides, Wu Di is also a little worried about his judgment, forget it, let's take a knife and scratch it, it's a bitter life.
Wu Di took out a paper cutter and continued the great revolutionary cause, drawing east and west, but he didn't see the slightest gap! was making a fuss, the phone rang suddenly, the hand holding the knife slipped and opened a big hole in his left hand, and the angry Wu Di slapped the inkstone on the table, went to find the phone, and scolded hatefully:
"If Xiao Si hits this thing, I must let him know why the flowers are so red!"
It's really Zhongqi!
"Soul calling! Something else, busy! “
Without waiting for Zhong Qi to speak, Wu Di cut off the phone and looked for something to stop the bleeding.
Zhong Qi is angry, good boy, his wings are stiff, he dares to yell at your fourth brother, and you dare to hang up my phone, do you know that there are few people in this Sijiu City who dare to shout at me? No, you have to call and scold back!
Grabbed the phone and called, rabbit cub, turned off! Zhong Qi was so angry that he couldn't wait to drop his mobile phone.
Wu Di wrapped the wound, took the paper to wipe the blood on the inkstone, mentioned it, felt that something was wrong, the inkstone was loose, picked it up and looked, there was a gap running through the entire inkstone, almost dividing it into two halves!
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! Wu Di picked up the inkstone with both hands and carefully moved it up and down a few times, and the inkstone was completely disconnected, revealing an oiled paper bag stuck in the crack of the stone. Wu Di was overjoyed, rubbed his hands, carefully took out the oil paper bag, opened it, and took out a painting with a few folds.
I opened the paper lightly, and I saw that there were sponge-like things in the creases, and I was relieved that I didn't have to worry about the painting falling apart. After the painting was opened, it was a vertical scroll painting nearly one meter long and sixty wide, Wu Di didn't know how to appreciate it, he only knew that it was a landscape painting. There are two seals, Wu Di only knows a few words, and guessed that one is to collect all the Qifeng drafts, and the other is a descendant of Jingjiang. There is also a collection seal in the lower left corner of the painting, which Wu Di did not check.
After looking at it for a while, he knew that the things he had just taken out could not be exposed to the air for a long time, and should be framed immediately, so he carefully folded them up according to the way he had just looked, wrapped them in oiled paper, and gently held them in his hands, and waited to go out. After thinking about it for a while, I put the inkstone in my bag, found a big plastic bag, put the oiled paper bag in it, stabbed it to death, and then went out to take a taxi.
Wu Di turned on his mobile phone, and sure enough, three text message reminders came in immediately, all of which were Zhong Qi's missed calls, this brother's anger is not easy to dissipate! There's no way, take the leader to the top cylinder, the dead friends don't die the poor way.
Just thinking about it, the phone rang suddenly, it was still Zhong Qi, Wu Di picked up the phone, and heard Zhong Qi mourning on the phone:
"Little Five, where are you? Come and save the fourth brother, my mother and sister took Doudou out to play, and the old man sent a guard to look at me, saying that I would only let me out when I saw you, and the computer was not allowed to be used, and the novel was not at home, I was so pitiful. ”
Wu Di didn't expect this kind of result, and was stunned for a moment:
"When you called just now, you were being criticized by the leader, I'm sorry, the leader turned off the machine."
"Huh? What bastard leads? Dare to criticize our fifth child, come here, take me out, let's clean him up! ”
"Okay, fourth brother, I've already gotten in the car, I'll be there in about half an hour, I'll call you later, you can pick me up at the door."
Over there, Wu Di remembered the doubts he had just now, so he opened the bag, took out the broken bricks, and studied them carefully. Although the brick inkstone has been hollowed out, its weight has not been reduced, otherwise it will definitely be discovered by Wen Yaru. However, if you put a lead sinker, the weight will be uneven, and I really can't figure it out.
Wu Di took the brick inkstone in his hand, looked at it carefully, the hole was very big, his fingers could reach in, stretched out his fingers and touched the inner wall, it was very smooth, not like the material of the stone, and besides, is it necessary to polish the inner hole of the stone so smooth? After thinking about it, Wu Di used the paper cutter he carried with him to reach in and scrape it gently, but the car shook, accidentally pried a piece down, put it in his hand and pinched it, it should be lead, and touched the four walls of the hole, and couldn't help but feel that the person who hid the painting had good intentions.
It was one of the old man's guards who picked up Wu Di, it seemed that the old man was really here, and he would never let Zhong Qi go out without seeing Wu Di.
As soon as Wu Di entered the small building, he was pulled into the study by Zhong Qi, took the plastic bag in Wu Di's hand, opened it carefully, and after a brief look, he said:
"You just got something out of it, didn't you? That's mostly true. You can't leave it like this, you have to frame it right away. ”
Wu Di took out the brick inkstone that was broken in two and said:
"The brick inkstone I bought to give to the customer was accidentally broken, and it was revealed."
Zhong Qi looked at it for a moment and said:
"This brick inkstone is also a good thing, it is rotten like this, you can't let Uncle Chang see it, otherwise you should scold us for ruining things."
After walking a few steps, he said:
"Take it with you, otherwise it's really hard to explain the provenance of this painting, and the old man is not easy to fool, and it will be bad if it comes out of the ground."
Seeing the two go out, the guard really didn't stop him, Zhong Qi walked quickly towards the Range Rover in the garage, and before he took two steps, the old lady came back and shouted:
"Rabbit cub, where are you going?"
Zhong Qi smiled bitterly and said:
"Don't you take Xiao Wu to find Uncle Chang for identification."
"Then we'll have to eat before we leave."
Wu Di saw that Principal Lu and his wife were also there, and hurriedly went over to say hello.
"Mom, this painting has just seen the air, and if you don't frame it quickly, it will break, tens of millions of things!"
"Really, you can't fool me."
Love says:
"Mom, let them go, old paper is easy to rot when you see the air."
Ou Doudou was humming and chirping on the side, and when the old lady saw this, she scolded with a smile:
"Aren't you screaming hungry now? Go, bring the snacks, hey I said Si'er, slow down on the road, Doudou lost a hair, I'll settle accounts with you! ”
"Then can I offer him as a little ancestor?"
"Phew, fairy tales are unscrupulous!"
