Chapter Seventy-Four: A Rain of Smoke and Rain (Part II)

"You want to marry Qin Cao, as a wife."

Li Liangji's heart jumped, and a very ugly smile was forced on his face: "I'm just...... Just kidding. ”

The atmosphere in the room floated, and the rain hit the window lattice, making bursts of sound, which was not small or loud, just enough to reach the ears, like the accompaniment of background music, and like someone whispering in the ear.

Who's banging on my window?

No, the atmosphere in the room these days isn't that romantic, and it doesn't have the lingering flavor to match jazz. This sound of rain is more like a burst of drumbeats, beating in people's minds in a daze, making the thoughts in their minds clearer and clearer.

Clarity of thought is not necessarily a good thing. It may be good when you are happy, because that kind of happiness can be more and more lasting and wonderful. But now this emotion is constantly reminded by the extremely clear drumbeat, as if an echo locked in my mind, which can no longer be taken off.

Li Liangchen was slightly silent, and then spoke: "Do you know what disappointed me the most about you?" ”

Li Liangji smiled bitterly, a bitter feeling emerged from his chest, and under the drumbeat of such a rain, it spread into his limbs: "What do I not disappoint you...... A lot of times I think it's actually me who hurt you. When you were a child, you were also a very simple and innocent girl, and all you wanted was to marry a good family, have a good husband, raise a few children, and be a virtuous and virtuous mother...... I remember that when you were a child, the female worker was very good, and many of the friends at home were joking, saying that they were going to order you a doll to kiss. Oh, the house was really lively at that time. There are always a lot of people coming and going. If it hadn't happened like that after that......"

I kept my head down and didn't dare to raise it. Li Liangji's voice was very low, as if he was muttering to himself: "I'm a bastard, I was playful when I was a child and refused to learn well, and when I grew up, I had no talent and couldn't learn." I still remember that you were back then. Kneel in front of the ancestral tablet and swear ...... Daddy cut all your long hair, you used to like your hair the most, braided every day, I always laughed at you at that time, and pulled your braids...... You used to laugh a lot...... It's all because I ......."

"I have long said that the path that everyone takes is their own choice, and it has nothing to do with others." Li Liangchen didn't want to continue the topic, and his cold voice interrupted his younger brother's words. "My disappointment with you is not about that. You have a sense of responsibility and responsibility to your family, and I naturally know this. If it weren't for you, our calligraphy and painting shop would have collapsed in recent years. You may not have any talent for imitation, but you are in business. I'm not as good as you. Don't you understand my disappointment with you? It's related to the piano girl. ”

Li Liangji was puzzled and raised his head in astonishment.

At this time, Li Liangchen realized that Li Liangji's eyes were a little red.

She pretended not to see it, and only said lightly: "How many years have you known Qin Cao?" ”

"Uh......" Li Liangji counted with his fingers, "Start with the most sister, you know the piano girl." I got to know her very quickly...... Probably, five or six years? ”

"Five or six years ago, Qin Cao was still a little-known little girl who had just been sold into the Qinglou. The family has just been in trouble, and at first glance this happened. I can't even speak. You've known her since then. Li Liangchen said lightly, "How did she grow up little by little, and how she climbed to this position with her ability to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in hand." Others may not know, but all of this falls into your eyes, doesn't it? ”

Li Liangchen smiled faintly: "You haven't lied since you were a child, and it's the same now." Your love for her started very early, but you never really said it. And that's where my disappointment in you lies. ”

Li Liangji suddenly understood something, his eyes widened, and he looked at his sister in horror.

"Say whatever you like. If you want something, do it. Li Liangchen's tone was still cold and cold, but with a tenacity and strength like a sword, "Sister Qin Cao, if you want to marry, you can propose marriage yourself." If you want to risk the world's disapproval to marry her as a wife, instead of taking a concubine, then you have the courage to do it with your head held high! Oh, the truth that you don't even dare to say in front of me, in my opinion, your so-called liking for piano gymnastics is nothing more than that. ”

"Not really!"

Li Liangchen's words were like thunder one after another, and they continued to explode in Li Liangji's ears.

He finally couldn't help but open his mouth and took a step forward, the expression on his face was a mixture of too many emotions.

"I like her a lot...... Piano Girl...... I don't want her to marry! Li Liangji trembled lightly, knelt down on one knee beside Li Liangchen's seat, and felt extremely powerless, "But her identity, after all, is there." Of course I don't care! But Sister, you, as well as our Li family, and other people in the world, are all over the world...... Scold! Chu Feng's kid told me that he didn't think this kind of thing was a big deal. But, but ......."

Li Liangchen smiled faintly: "This is where I am disappointed in you." If you like something, but you don't want to fight for it with all your might, your so-called liking is just this kind of imagination that is not worth mentioning. ”

She got up slowly, looked at her brother condescendingly, the long skirt dragged to the ground, and was worn on her body, but there was no taste of her daughter's birds, but it set off a faction of cold and dust, and even the lines of the fabric were cold and hard, with a three-point trend.

"I've said it many times, family matters, my choices, actually have nothing to do with you." Li Liangchen smiled lightly, his chin raised slightly, showing three points of indifference, and seven points of arrogance, "Imitation is something I like, so no matter how much I risk the world's condemnation a few times, no matter how much I violate the rules of passing on men to women, no one or anything can stop the road I want to take." The bloodline of my Li family, it is absolutely impossible for me to keep giving in and stopping because of other people's opinions. That's a coward's doing! ”

"You are my younger brother and the inheritance of my Li family's bloodline. If you have to look forward to these little things, because you are afraid of the world and stop to move forward, heh! Then whether you marry the daughter of the butcher's family as a wife, or take the widow of the blacksmith's family as a concubine, it has nothing to do with me, Li Liangchen. The corners of Li Liangchen's mouth lifted slightly. The tone was cold, "Of course, your child's surname naturally has nothing to do with my Li family!" ”

At this point, Li Liangchen didn't say more.

She pushed the door open, letting the wind and rain outside blow her skirt to the death. The three thousand green silk are extraordinarily public.

"I heard that the "Autumn River Fish Boat Picture" was sold?" Li Liangchen didn't look back, only asked lightly.

"Yes." Somehow, Li Liangji's voice was unusually hoarse. He had already stood up and regained the pride of the Li family, "It is sold in Tokyo City, and the price is very good, but it is ......."

"But what?"

"Although I asked them to try to avoid the Fan family, but after all. It was still in the hands of Fan's hands. Li Liangji's smile was a little bitter.

"Are you afraid that Chu Feng will be able to see it?"

Li Liangji shook his head: "I'm afraid he can guess." ”

He was worried.

"So what." Li Liangchen asked very coldly.

"Huh?" Li Liangji was stunned.

"Even if Chu Feng sees it and punctures it, so what." Li Liangchen smiled coldly and arrogantly, tilted his head slightly, and hunted in his dress, "There are thousands of imitations in this world, from ancient times to the present, how many authentic works there are, who can say." What my Li family did. Even if he Chu Feng wants to manage it, can he really manage it? ”

Let's talk about it. Li Liangchen only left a little laughter, and then he drifted into the rainy night in front of him.

The cold rain, the dark night, even if there are layers of corridors, what should be wet will still be wet. It's like the path you choose, no matter what, there are always some winds and rains there, and you can never get rid of it.

Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid. A cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Ping's life.

I don't have such a free and easy. I'm afraid I won't have it in this life.

Sister is a person of guts. The real guts, almost a taste of the world, is hidden in it, although others don't know, but what she carries, the burden on her shoulders, he, as a younger brother, knows everything, all knows.

Sister A is indeed an extraordinary person, almost a fearless person.

Li Liangji thought to himself, this imitation has been flourishing since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but I am afraid that there is only one case where my sister is so arrogant and arrogant......

……

……

In fact, Li Liangchen's statement is not wrong.

Although at first glance it seems a little arrogant and arrogant, when it comes to the actual situation, it is 100% correct.

Because when everyone faced the fake painting of "Autumn River Fish Boat Picture", there was no way, and they were really helpless.

No one knows who the counterfeiter of this painting is, whether it is Li Liangchen or not. Moreover, taking a step back, even if Li Liangchen admits that she made this painting, what can it be?

She didn't say that this painting was the real "Autumn River Fish Boat Picture", you people have to think so, what does it have to do with her?

Take a step back, even if someone follows this line at no cost and figures out the context of the entire Li family, from the beginning of the imitation to the end of the sale, all the people on the line have been investigated clearly and clearly. So, what about after that?

Sue the official? I'm sorry, the "Song Law" does not explicitly prohibit this kind of happening, and even if it does, I am afraid that there will be few government officials to check this kind of civil dispute. After all, this in itself is a thankless task, and no one will really care about it unless it is a big and important case that has overwhelmed the country and the city.

On the other hand, calligraphy and painting, especially famous calligraphy and painting, are themselves classified as antiques. There has been such an unwritten rule in China since ancient times, and there is no such thing as selling only genuine goods when buying and selling antiques. It's like picking up goods in Panjiayuan in Sijiu City, if you find a valuable thing in a pile of broken copper and iron, and buy it at a low price, this is your ability. If someone says that they are holding a folding fan handed down from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, you don't know that the folding fan was not born at all during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, so you paid for it, which is called a slap in the eye, but you can't say that the other party is a liar.

There are rules to the line. And this is the rule in the antiques industry. Partial calligraphy and painting can also be regarded as in this system of rules, but, to be honest, in the era that Chu Feng is in now, most of the people who make fakes are still hidden, and most of them feel that this is an unsightly industry, so they automatically and consciously put themselves in an inferior position, unlike later people, who do anything fake and do righteous words.

"The Li family's ability to imitate is really to the point where it is so fake. It's ......."

Fan Yangming's face was tired, he faced this fake "Autumn River Fish Boat Picture", trying to find an adjective, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

The incident of the fake painting came to an end with the emotion of the principal of the Fan family, there was no really good solution, and the moral sense of the Fan family did not allow them to sell the painting as genuine, and the matter came to a dead end.

Chu Feng waited for the seller in the calligraphy and painting shop with Shopkeeper Huang the next day, and said a few words about the Li family. The seller glanced at Chu Feng a few times, thought about it carefully, and could be regarded as selling Chu Feng's face, and arched his hand: "Chu Langjun's name, I have heard of it in Hangzhou City." In fact, when we came, our owner had already instructed that it was best not to come to earn the Fan family's money. Moreover, no matter what, the Fan and Li families almost became in-laws. Although there is no such fate, the love is still here. Since it is Chu Langjun who goes out, then we are naturally Ming people who don't say dark words. Before coming down to Tokyo City, he did walk around the Fan family, but he didn't think that in the end, this business still hit the Fan family's head......"

"Why is that?" Chu Feng was puzzled and asked.

The man laughed twice and glanced at the yellow shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper Huang turned red when he heard this, and said embarrassedly: "When I went to the house in the east of the city to discuss business, I happened to bump into him selling paintings there...... Speaking of which, I am indeed to blame for this. At that time, I secretly saw a corner, and I thought that this painting must have a source, so I secretly dragged him out and cut off other people's business in exchange. Ay! This can be regarded as a report and a report, but the result is still to shoot yourself in the foot. ”

It turned out that there was such a reason for this, Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

"I was hesitant about this, but the price offered by the shopkeeper Huang was indeed very small, and I never thought that it would be seen through, so I agreed. I thought that Chu Langjun was busy with the entry of the painting academy these days, and he didn't have time to take care of this, but he still bumped into Chu Langjun's hands...... Since you have come forward, if you don't give face, our owner is afraid that he will be angry. In this case, I will return all the money and take the paintings. It's just this rumor ......"

"Don't worry! There will be no irresponsible remarks! That's what I can promise! Shopkeeper Huang said seriously. (To be continued.) )
