Chapter 124: The Life Story of a Painting (I)

At one o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday, Lin Lin took Lu Li to the master's house.

Lu Li remembered that Master Lin Lin's name was Hou Boping, and she had seen it when she was a child, so as soon as they met this time, she took the initiative to call Uncle Hou, who came from her father's side.

Hou Boping looked at Lu Li with a smile on his face, "I haven't seen you for many years, it's so old!" In the future, you will call me Master with Lin Lonely, come in. ”

Lu Li looked at Lin Li, who was smiling and silent, spoke in a low voice, and called Hou Boping again, "Master." ”

Although he didn't know Hou Boping before, it was the first time he came to his house, and Lu Li was attracted by the full furnishings in this room when he entered the door.

Hou Boping, who was wearing wide pajamas, walked in front to lead the way, and when he turned around and saw Lu Li's curious gaze, he asked her if she was alone in Mukden now.

Lu Limin felt that Hou Boping's question should be related to the sudden death of his mother. She replied softly that she was indeed alone, and suddenly lost the interest in continuing to look at the furnishings of the house.

Hou Boping did ask such a question because he knew that He Linxi died, he had met He Linxi a few times before, but he didn't expect a woman with such a strong ambition to end her life like this.

"My wife is not at home?" Lin Lin opened his mouth to break the silence in the room.

Hou Boping beckoned them to sit casually, and replied that his wife had gone out to buy vegetables and should come back soon. As soon as he finished speaking, several people heard the sound of the key opening the door, and Hou Boping's wife returned.

Lin Lin immediately went to the door to take the large and small shopping bags from his wife, and at the same time introduced Lu Li to his wife, and Lu Li also came over with a smile to say hello.

The master was a kind old man who didn't have much to say, and after a brief chat, she went into the kitchen, and Hou Boping beckoned Lu Li to come and sit.

As soon as he sat down, Hou Boping asked Lin Lin if he had gone to the hospital to have his eyes checked, and Lu Li hurriedly looked at Lin Lian, thinking that his eyes were starting to feel uncomfortable again.

"It's either uncomfortable, it's a routine check-up." Lin Lin explained to Lu Li first, and then replied to the master, "I haven't gone yet, I'm waiting for my ophthalmologist to return to China, just a few days." ”

"Is that Dr. Xu Xuxu?" Lu Li almost forgot about this person.

Lin Lin smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's him." ”

"Eyes are a big deal, especially if you do what we do, remember to tell me when the test results come out." Hou Boping stared at Lin Li's eyes and instructed with little relief.

Looking at Lu Li's worried eyes on the side, Hou Boping said again, "Lu Li also looked at him, he was quite sloppy in life, and you will have to worry more about it in the future." ”

Lu Li's eyes were stunned when she heard this, she glanced at Lin Lone, and said in her heart, Is the person Hou Boping said is Lin Lone in front of her? He is ...... in life Sloppy?

I didn't feel it.

Lin Lin saw that Lu Li was looking at him in a daze and didn't answer Master's words, so he hurriedly and quietly pushed Lu Li, and Lu Li quickly replied with a comprehension, "Master don't worry, I will watch him." ”

Hou Boping changed the topic with a smile, "Lin Lian, you come to pick me up at home tomorrow morning, let's go to work together, and the family car will be handed over to you to drive." ”

Lin Lin happily agreed, and was not polite to the master, "Then I don't have to take a taxi for the time being, and I will return the car to you after I buy it." ”

Hou Boping immediately waved his hand, "What kind of car do you buy, in Mukden, you will drive my house." ”

Lu Li also whispered beside Lin Lian, "It's okay to drive mine, I forgot that I still have a car, I haven't driven it for a long time." ”

Lin Lin nodded with a smile, "The single number opens the master's, and the double number opens yours." ”

Lu Li couldn't hold back and laughed. She knew that her smile was truly heartfelt, and she hadn't experienced this mood in a long time.

At this time, the master came out of the kitchen, and asked Lu Li in a gentle voice if she could eat the spicy flavor of Hunan cuisine, and after asking, she brought a plate of cut fruit and put it on the coffee table.

Lu Li hurriedly got up and helped put down the fruit plate, "Master, come on, I can eat spicy food, do you need my help in the kitchen?" I don't know how to cook, but I can still ...... with my hands."

The master shook her head and smiled and said no, and soon went back to the kitchen by herself, and Lu Li had to sit down again and continue to listen to the master and apprentice.

Lin Lin and Master were chatting about the work of returning to the cultural relics restoration room tomorrow.

After listening to Lu Li, he realized that after Lin Lin returned to the Palace Museum, the place where he worked was called the Ancient Painting Restoration Room, and the master was also there.

As soon as he and his master returned, they were about to carry out a comprehensive restoration of the national treasure-level famous painting "Immortal Battle Picture" treasured in the museum.

This painting is the highlight of the 70th anniversary celebration.

Taking advantage of Hou Boping's tea, Lin Lin took Lu Li's hand and asked her in a low voice if she knew the painting "Immortal Battle Map".

Hou Boping listened, and said first without waiting for Lu Li's answer, "Of course you know, you forgot that Xiao Lu Ke was born in a family of cultural relics appreciation, and she has been following her father to contact cultural relics since she was a child, how could she not know this." ”

Lu Li smiled embarrassedly, she told Lin Lin that it was really the first time she had heard of this "Immortal Battle Map".

Lin Lin was just about to say that it was normal to say that he didn't know, but before he could open his mouth, he was snatched by the master again, and he heard Hou Boping look at Lu Li with some surprise and say, "I really don't know?" If I'm not mistaken, there was a transfer of cultural relics in the courtyard in the nineties, and this painting was inside, and your father was in charge of that transfer. ”

Lu Li followed Hou Boping's narration and tried to recall...... But the impression is extremely vague, she seems to have such a thing in her memory, vaguely remembering the time when she escorted the cultural relics with her father, but she didn't remember any memories related to "Immortal Battle Map".

Hou Boping looked at Lu Li, who was confused, and prompted: "At that time, your mother was filming in Tibet, and no one at home took care of you, so your father had to take you to send cultural relics to other places, no impression?" ”

Lu Li shook his head, "I really don't remember, there were too many experiences like this when I was a child, and I remember a little confused in my mind, and I can't tell what happened this time." ”

Lin Lin glanced at the master and said to Lu Li, "Do you want to hear about the legendary life story of this painting?" ”

Lu Li's eyes flashed, "A painting...... 's background? Your words are so personified, I want to hear it. ”

Hou Boping didn't speak again, folded his arms and leaned on the sofa, waiting to hear what the apprentice would say about the legendary life of the national treasure.

However, he only listened attentively to the beginning, and began to slip away to think about other things, but the slipping number was also because he listened to Lin Lian's words, which reminded him of some past events that happened when the cultural relics were borrowed many years ago.

While Hou Boping was silent, Lin Lian's narration also proceeded to 1938, when "Immortal Battle Map" was first caught in the flames of war.

Lin Xiao suddenly stopped talking, turned his head and looked at the master with a deep gaze, "Master, Master......" He called twice in a row before he woke up Hou Boping, who was out of his mind.

"Master, do you know more about the history of the Immortal Battle Map, why don't you continue to tell Lu Li about it?" Lin Lin looked at the master with a sincere gaze and pleaded.

Lu Lizheng was interested in hearing it, and also pleaded with Lin Lian.

Hou Boping cleared his throat with a smile, took what Lin Lin had started before, and continued to talk.

In 1938, when the foreign enemy invaded the country and ruined the family, Mr. Bai Lihong, a famous collector during the Republic of China, accompanied his friends to Hong Kong Island to hold an art exhibition, and someone contacted them and wanted to sell a batch of famous paintings in his collection.

When Lu Li heard the name of "Bailihong", he whispered to look at Lin Li, and Hou Boping stopped to look at her and asked what was wrong.

Lu Li replied, "No, I just heard some things about this collector, my father told me before." ”

"Oh, I'll move on, then." Hou Boping nodded clearly, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart, but he did not rush to ask about his doubts, and the topic continued as he had just said.

Bai Lihong and his friends happily went as promised, and the seller turned out to be an old German lady, whose father was a German diplomat in China before his death, and lived in China for more than ten years, and bought a large number of Chinese calligraphy and paintings, including many national treasures.

After the start of World War II, the old lady who was about to return to China decided to sell her father's collection for cash, and at that time she specially brought several large boxes of paintings and calligraphy to Hong Kong Island to find buyers.

Bai Lihong has been committed to recovering the local cultural relics in the diaspora for many years, and his ideal is to make the national treasure "eternal in my land, and the future generations have a trace." ”。 So after seeing the old lady's boxes of calligraphy and paintings, I was very excited.

He and his friends carefully and carefully admired each collection of calligraphy and paintings.

When the box was opened to the fourth, the old lady unfolded a yellowed white figure scroll with her own hands, and after Bai Lihong and someone saw it, their eyes all gave off a surprised light, and Bai Lihong quickly said that this painting was wanted.

Hou Boping stopped and took a sip of tea, "This white painting scroll is the later national treasure "Immortal Battle Map". ”
