"I want to sue you." Mrs. Lin nodded, "Recently, there was a 'Panasonic Fuqin Picture' by Mr. Hanjing in the town, and my husband wanted to buy it. But the price of this painting is 13,000 taels. ”
Hua Tian gasped, a painting cost thirteen thousand taels!
Moreover, as far as she knew, Mr. Hanjing was still alive today, and he was no more than fifty years old. In terms of fame, he is only in the upper middle class, and above him, there are countless top celebrities, all of whom are unbridled and talented.
As for the level of paintings, Mr. Hanjing's paintings are about the same as his ranking in the world's fame, and they are not top-notch.
And this "Panasonic Fuqin Picture", among all Mr. Hanjing's paintings, is not very prominent, at most medium.
But a painting of this level was sold for 13,000 taels!
Are paintings so precious in this world?
You must know that at the beginning, Hua Chuzhi sold all the valuable jewelry in the second room and each garden, and he only got thousands of taels!
Thinking about it, my heart couldn't help but get excited, and my heart was beating more and more urgently.
She plans to make a name for herself in the future, and if she paints well, won't money and fame be just around the corner? Even if you're a woman, you can act anonymously.
The more Hua Tian thought about it, the more excited he became, but when he thought of the cold reality, although his paintings had now touched the bottleneck, he was still uncertain when the bottleneck would be broken, and the excitement decreased.
I thought I had hit a bottleneck, but I would soon be able to break it and take my paintings to the next level. But after pondering for so many days, she felt that this bottleneck might take years or decades, and no matter how pessimistic it was, it would be difficult to break it until she died.
Because breaking through the bottleneck is difficult, there is a point that requires an epiphany.
Seeing the expression on Hua Tian's face change, Mrs. Lin smiled bitterly again,
"Originally, I didn't plan to borrow money from Liuniang, but I really borrowed it all over, and there was no way to think about it. Although there are still shops to sell, I think that the academy will not be able to make a living, and if I sell the shops, I am afraid that I will not be able to live in the future. ”
Hua Tian's eyebrows jumped, and she lowered her eyelids, she didn't expect Mrs. Lin to speak so bluntly to herself. Come to think of it, borrowing money from yourself really makes them feel extremely embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Hua Tian raised his eyes, looked at Mrs. Lin and Lin Biyu, who was looking at him nervously, and said with a smile, "That's the case, don't hide it from Mrs. Lin and Sister Biyu that Liu Niang does have this money in her hand, and she is willing to lend it." ”
Before the words fell, Mrs. Lin and Lin Biyu's faces were already overjoyed, and the two glanced at each other in disbelief, and then looked at Hua Tian gratefully.
Hua Tian smiled, but he still had to say what he had to say, and said, "It's just that Mrs. Lin announced to the outside world that she took the letters of the eldest brother and the second brother to get the money." ”
"Since it is required by Liuniang, it is okay." Mrs. Lin said.
Hua Tian nodded, thinking about it in his heart, planning to send someone to the Lin Mansion tomorrow.
Although she also has a silver ticket in her hand now, and she is not in a hurry, the money is not revealed, and it is impossible to give it to Mrs. Lin immediately.
After borrowing the money, Mrs. Lin's mother and daughter were very happy, and the original worries of the two were swept away.
"I wonder when Liuniang will be able to lend the money?" After Mrs. Lin was excited, she remembered that there were still many things that had not yet been agreed, so she asked again.
Hua Tian said according to his original plan, "Tomorrow will be enough, I will start preparations today." When the time comes, send someone directly to your house. ”
"This ......," Mrs. Lin hesitated, "let's come to the Lin Mansion to get it." It is also good to ask a simple person of high moral standing such as a simple person to testify. ”
Hua Tian sat on the soft couch, feeling a little tired, and wanted to lie down but was afraid of being abrupt, so he moved slightly, quietly changed his position, and then said, "No, no need to witness." Lin Juren is the eldest brother and the second brother's husband, and we naturally believe in Lin Juren. ”
"This ......" Mrs. Lin put away the hesitation on her face, looked at Hua Tian, and said seriously, "Liuniang, you are young and don't understand this. You will have to remember in the future, if you borrow money to go out, it is better to find someone to do justice. In this world, there are many people who keep their promises, but not everyone is. ”
These words can be said to be serious, and Hua Tian nodded in his heart.
It wasn't until this moment that she affirmed that Mrs. Lin brought her daughter to the door, and there was really no way. Coming here, their hearts are also full of pressure.
Thinking about this, Hua Tian said slowly, "Liuniang believes that Lin Juren and Mrs. Lin are both people who keep their promises. Presumably, the eldest brother and the second brother also believe it. ”
When she said this, Lin Biyu was stunned, and then looked at Hua Tian tightly, her eyes reflected the brilliance of joy, as if she had seen a rare beauty in the world, and her face was full of gratitude.
Mrs. Lin's face was also stunned for a moment, and then moved.
can get such trust, and her husband's reputation is so good, how can she not be surprised?
"However," Hua Tian looked at Mrs. Lin's mother and daughter, paused and said, "But are you sure that the painting was made by Mr. Hanjing?" ”
"This ......," Mrs. Lin frowned, "Mr. Hanjing is still alive, I'm afraid, no one will pretend to be his painting?" ”
Hua Tian shook his head, "It's hard to say, look at this painting, it sells for thirteen thousand taels." There will be people who are good at this and will cheat for the sake of money. ”
Counterfeiting is inevitable in any era. The more valuable the painting, the more attractive it is to counterfeit. It is undoubtedly profitable to make a picture and sell it on the market at the price of the original work.
This industry is so profitable, why don't people do it? Mr. Hanjing's "Panasonic Fuqin Picture" is only a second-rate painting, and the brushwork and skills are naturally not excellent, and the cost of copying is not high, and there are definitely people who are willing to do it.
When Lin Biyu heard this, she was also worried, she thought for a while and said, "I heard that there is a connoisseur in the pen and ink pavilion in the town. It's just that for those who appreciate a painting, it costs five hundred taels, which is too expensive. ”
Hearing Lin Biyu mention herself, Hua Tian was stunned for a moment, no one has come to appreciate the paintings recently, and she almost forgot about her part-time job.
"Now we are waiting for the money, don't say it's five hundred taels, even fifty taels, and we have to save some flowers." Mrs. Lin sighed and said, "The person who came with the painting is said to be quite famous, but I am afraid that he will not fake." ”
The implication was that he was unwilling to pay five hundred taels of silver to appreciate the painting.
Although Hua Tian wanted to earn the five hundred taels, he did not lack virtue enough to earn the five hundred taels from the Lin family. The Lin family is extremely nervous about the money in their hands now, and they are a little reluctant to make this money.
But the identity of the appreciator is her anonymous, so why can't she suddenly stand up and say you come, I'm a cheap appreciator.
"Five hundred taels is a bit expensive, but the painting, which is worth thirteen thousand taels, is better to be cautious. Even if you don't invite, well, don't invite the master, you can let the town's celebrities who are good at calligraphy take a look. Hua Tian said euphemistically.
Thirteen thousand taels is not a small amount, even if she has received a few silver bills, the thought of losing thirteen thousand taels in her life is extremely uncomfortable.
Mrs. Lin listened, nodded and said, "I'm already planning to invite someone to come and see." After reading it, you will buy it with money. ”
Hearing her say so solemnly, Hua Tian was a little curious in his heart, why Lin Juren wanted to buy this painting.
Hua Tian hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Liuniang wants to know, why did Lin Juren have to buy this painting?" ”
As soon as these words came out, a look of embarrassment flashed on the faces of Mrs. Lin and Lin Biyu, and their lips squirmed, but they didn't say it.
Hua Tian hurriedly said, "If it's inconvenient, don't say it." Liuniang is just curious. ”
At this time, Agarwood had already boiled tea and poured a cup for Hua Tian, Mrs. Lin and Lin Biyu.
Mrs. Lin looked at the rising smoke, reached out to pick up the tea, took a sip, and said in surprise, "Hey, this tea doesn't taste the same as the usual drink." ”
"Well, this is a tea brewed in the house using a new method, if Mrs. Lin likes to drink it, she can taste it slowly."
Mrs. Lin really closed her eyes and slowly savored it.
When Lin Biyu heard this, she also picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, and her face suddenly showed a look of enjoyment.
However, it didn't take long for this look of enjoyment to take place, and she remembered it again, and it didn't seem to be clear to Hua Tian, so she looked at Hua Tian apologetically.
At this time, Mrs. Lin had already drunk most of the cup of tea, and said in her mouth, "Actually, it's not impossible to say, and besides, many people in Shanyang Town must know it." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the more curious look on Hua Tian's face, then smiled and continued,
"It is reported that the eldest son of the Cui family will pass by Shanyang Town, Qingzhou. It is rumored that he likes Mr. Hanjing's paintings very much, and his husband bought the 'Panasonic Fuqin Picture' and gave it to him, because he wanted to have a future. ”
Nowadays, although there are small-scale imperial examinations, if there is no recommendation from the family, it is generally difficult to become a climate. Some small landlords who want to gain status will go to the favor of the family at this time, try to make friends with the family, hoping that the children of the family can help them.
Lin Juren has achieved the status of a lifter, but he has no real power, and with his current age, it is too difficult to go further.
The last time he was in Washington, he mentioned a representative of the children of the poor family, and he first saw the clues.
Lin Juren is ambitious and hopes to go up, but because of his status and the limits of his personal ability, it is difficult for him to go far. This, I believe he himself is aware of.
At this time, it is rare that a child of a family will pass by Shanyang Town, and it is rare that Shanyang Town happens to have a painting by Mr. Hanjing, which is liked by the children of this family, for sale. No wonder Lin Juren went bankrupt and wanted to buy the "Panasonic Fuqin Picture".
However, Hua Tian's eyebrows frowned, it seemed that there were too many coincidences.
She looked at Mrs. Lin and asked, "Here, just now that a child of the Cui family is passing by Shanyang Town, Mr. Hanjing's paintings appeared in Shanyang Town, and this Cui child happens to like Mr. Hanjing's paintings, is this too much of a coincidence?" ”
Mrs. Lin didn't react for a while, and smiled at the moment, "Yes, it's all a coincidence." I still thought that day, I caught up with all the qiē, like the help from all directions, would it be a good omen? ”
Lin Biyu also nodded on the side, with a slight look of excitement on her little face.
If Lin Juren can really go further, her status will also improve, and the circle of intersections and relatives will be much better than now.
The two mothers and daughters ...... Hua Tian had a headache, so he had to say more bluntly, "This qiē, is the coincidence too deliberate?" It's like someone deliberately set up a game. ”R1152
