Chapter Thirty-Seven: Scarcity is Expensive
(Ask for push, ask for collection.) )
"Into the painting?"
Xu Jirong's eyes turned upward, he thought for a long time, and then asked Guo Dan with a curious face: "Where is this door?" ”
“......!”
Guo Dan took a deep breath, tried to calm the urge to slap in his heart, and said, "I mean to draw them on paper." ”
"Draw on paper?"
Xu Jirong scratched his head and said.
"Not bad."
Guo Dan nodded and said, "We can't make those women young, but we can paint them young." ”
The more Xu Jirong listened, the more confused he became, "I don't really understand, even if you are young, you can't drink and sleep with a man, and you can't sing and dance with this painting." ”
Guo Dan rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't Uncle not allowing you to open a green building?" ”
Xu Jirong said: "So I put this Hanyulou under your name, isn't this idea wonderful." ”
"Could it be that my father-in-law will allow me to open a green building?" Guo Dan suddenly roared.
Xu Jirong was a little stunned and asked, "What should I do?" ”
"Of course it's a career change!"
Guo Dan pointed to the Spring Palace fan and said, "Let's sell paintings." ”
"Selling paintings?"
Xu Jirong's eyes bulged.
Guo Dan nodded and said, "Just sell this Spring Palace painting." ”
"Selling Spring Palace paintings?"
Xu Jirong's eyes rolled, and he stroked his palms and applauded: "Wonderful!" Wonderful! ”
But then he frowned and said, "But what does selling paintings have to do with those women?" ”
Xu Jirong rolled his eyes and said, "They are models!" ”
"What is a model?"
yes, there are no models yet.
Guo Dan immediately explained the meaning of the model to Xu Jirong.
Xu Jirong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "This idea is wonderful, this idea is wonderful, okay, let's just do it." ”
"It's not us, it's you."
Guo Dan pointed at him and said, "I'm just helping you come up with ideas, but I don't mix this deal." ”
Xu Jirong said: "Why? ”
Guo said lightly: "I still have to serve Mrs., how can there be an air traffic here." ”
Xu Jirong said: "But I don't know what to do." ”
Guo Dan said: "I'll help you, first of all, you have to invite some painters." ”
"Painter?"
Xu Jirong's eyes rolled, and he said with a grin: "This is useless, my brother is very good at painting." ”
Guo Dan pointed to the folding fan in his hand, "It's this Zhu Lizhi." ”
"That's right!"
Xu Jirong nodded.
Guo smiled lightly: "If he is as powerful as you say, how can he help us?" ”
The joy on Xu Jirong's face disappeared suddenly, but he quickly said: "He is my brother, why won't he help me." Let's go, I'll take you to him now. ”
"Go now?"
"Hmm."
"Hey, wait a minute......"
Xu Jirong pulled Guo Dan and ran downstairs with great interest, and the two got into the carriage again, walked for half an hour, and came to a remote place in Chongnanfang in the southeast.
"Just stop here."
Xu Jirong suddenly shouted.
The carriage stopped, and Xu Jirong urged again: "Get off, get off." ”
Guo Dan got out of the car and saw that he was standing in front of an alley, and there was no house gate around, so he couldn't help but be curious: "I said little uncle, is your brother the kind of artist who lies on the street?" ”
Xu Jirong pointed to the opposite side of the alley and said, "My brother lives in the alley. ”
"Then why did you get off here?"
"I'll take you first to see how good my brother is."
Xu Jirong said and looked at the sky again, "It should be too late." ”
Before Guo Dan could react, he pulled Guo Dan and ran into the small alley.
ran for a while, and when he came to the exit, Xu Jirong suddenly grabbed Guo Dan and whispered, "Wait." He quietly stuck his head out, peeked out, and said, "Sure enough, they're here." ”
What is it? Guo Dan was very curious, and he also poked his head out, only to see a small mansion across the street in front of the left, and at this time, there were many young people standing in front of the house, all of them looking forward to it.
"Why haven't you come out yet?"
"Yes! I usually come out early, why is it so late today? ”
"But it's so anxious."
.......
Guo Dan was curious: "What are they doing?" ”
Xu Jirong smiled: "You'll know later." ”
After a while, the door of the house suddenly opened, and I saw two servants walking out with a big bamboo basket, which was full of waste paper, and put it in front of the door, and the next scene made Guo Dan dumbfounded, and those young people rushed up as if they were crazy.
Pull!
Tear up!
Scuffle!
It was as if an addict had seen .......
Guo Dan was horrified: "What are they doing? ”
"They're grabbing waste paper."
Xu Jirong said hehehe.
"Scrap paper?"
Guo Dan said in astonishment.
Xu Jirong nodded straight and said: "Didn't I tell you, my brother's words are priceless treasures, and they are generally not easy to sell, so they can only wait outside, hoping to find a waste painting from these waste papers." ”
Before the words fell, I heard a loud laugh that was almost crazy, "Haha! I grabbed it, I grabbed it! ”
Guo Dan turned his head to look, only to see a young man holding a painting, laughing wildly, as if he had lost his mind, he only felt that this scene was similar, and said in a trembling voice: "Tang... Tang Bohu? ”
"Tang Bohu? I've heard of this man. ”
Xu Jirong said with a disdainful face: "But my brother's painting is much more valuable than Tang Bohu's painting." ”
Can this be compared? And it's not likely. Guo Dan said to himself.
But now he understands why a scene in the movie is really here.
It's very simple, because the Spring Palace picture is not the mainstream culture, the really famous calligraphy and painting people don't know how to paint this kind of painting, and there are even fewer good paintings, but the Spring Palace picture definitely has a market, no matter what era it is placed in, and Zhu Lizhi's paintings do have some artistic sense, because he paints very obscurely, if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to see, which is also in line with Confucian culture.
Based on these reasons, it will cause this kind of robbery situation, in the final analysis, it is still rare and expensive, if those calligraphy and paintings, all come to paint this kind of painting, there will never be this phenomenon.
It's like in the 90s, if anyone had a pseudo-imported disc from Little Japan, then everyone would definitely compete with him and buy popsicles for him to eat, but after entering the new era, hehe, try to ask who doesn't have it, but it's all calculated according to G.
But at the same time, Guo Dan felt a little curious, these young people saw that the clothes were definitely not ordinary people, and thought, are the painters of the Ming Dynasty so awesome? asked Xu Jirong again: "Little uncle, why do they want to grab these waste papers, you can directly ask Zhu Lizhi to paint for them, I think they are all either rich or expensive!" ”
Xu Jirong snorted: "No matter how expensive they are, can they have the son of the prince of the country?" ”
"The son of the Duke of the Kingdom?"
Guo Dan exclaimed.
This ancient title is generally divided into five classes, duke, wait, uncle, son, and male.
Guogong is the first class, two levels higher than Xu Mengxi, the earl.
"It's true." Xu Jirong said: "My brother is the youngest son of Chengguogong. ”
The first generation of Chengguo Gong of the Ming Dynasty was Zhu Neng, a general under Ming Chengzu, who made immortal contributions in the Battle of Jingjing, so Ming Chengzu named him Chengguo Gong, and it is now the tenth generation.
Also, Xu Jirong is a little uncle, and his brother is not very human, but the son of the prince of the country painted this picture of the Spring Palace, which is ....... Guo Dan asked again: "Will Grandpa Guo allow him to paint this painting?" ”
"Of course not."
Xu Jirong shook his head and said, "So he was kicked out of the house a few years ago, and the Guogong Mansion is much more magnificent than this small courtyard!" ”
