Hospital, in the ward.

As soon as Zhi Youcai walked in, he knelt in front of the old man Zhi and cried bitterly, and repeatedly promised to change his ways.

The old man is also in tears.

Ji Sheng looked at the father and son hugging their heads and crying, and was relieved, although he only shot this time for the old man's splash painting, he finally did a good deed.

Father and son cried for a while.

Zhi Youcai raised his head even more and said, "Dad, Boss Ji...... Boss Ji told me to go to work with him, and gave me the same salary as in the factory. ”

"Huh? Xiao Ji also arranged a job for you? Old Man Zhi glanced at Ji Sheng standing at the door in astonishment.

Ji Sheng smiled and said, "It just so happens that I also want people over there." ”

Although this is not nonsense, after he becomes a Panasonic dealer, he will definitely increase the number of people, but he really doesn't have to support talents, where can he not hire people if he has money?

Old Man Zhi obviously understood this truth, he wiped the tears on his face, and said to Zhi Youcai: "Help me up." ”

Zhi Youcai didn't know what he was going to do, but he still helped the old man up.

Ji Sheng also looked at it in wonder.

Old Man Zhi didn't say anything, walked straight to Ji Sheng, and then bent his legs to kneel.

Ji Sheng was startled, hurriedly stretched out his hand to support it, and hurriedly said, "Old man, what are you doing here?" ”

Old Man Zhi couldn't help crying again, "Mr. Ji, you are a grace to my son for recreation, the old man really doesn't know how to thank you, so I want to kneel down and say thank you." ”

How dare Ji Sheng let the old man kneel down for him, he wanted to lose his life, he hurriedly persuaded the old man to dispel his thoughts, and coaxed back to the hospital bed.

"Thank you."

"Thank you, Mr. Ji."

Father and son are still grateful.

Ji Sheng said again and again that there was no need.

At the end, the old man Zhi Youcai said: "Youcai, I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, you pack two clothes for me first." ”

"Eh, I'll go."

Zhi Youcai packed up two clothes, apologized to Ji Sheng again, and left.

As soon as Zhi Youcai left, the old man Zhi said: "Mr. Ji, you have done the old man a great favor, and I will also keep my promise and give you a calligraphy and painting." ”

Ji Sheng was overjoyed, "Thank you." ”

"I should thank you." Old Man Zhi smiled with relief, pointed to the nurse's desk and said, "You go and talk to Nurse Jin, and say that you will move the wooden box I put on their side." ”

Khan, you've hid it well enough.

The thing was placed on the nurse's table, and Zhi Youcai couldn't even think of killing him.

Ji Sheng ran over and told the nurse.

Nurse Jin, who was in her forties with short hair, helped move the wooden box out and sent it to the ward, during which Ji Sheng did not let Ji Sheng take over, obviously she was afraid of being deceived.

After seeing that it was indeed what the old man wanted, Nurse Jin was relieved.

It's a big wooden box.

Old Man Zhi took out a key, "Mr. Ji, you can pick one out of it yourself." ”

"Okay, thank you."

Ji Sheng took the key, then squatted down and poked a few times in the keyhole of the wooden box.

Click.

The box opened.

Ji Sheng stretched out his hand to open the lid of the box, only to see more than a dozen calligraphy and paintings wrapped in cloth inside.

With so many calligraphy and paintings, which one is it?

"Open them all and take them, and take whichever one you like." The old man's voice came from behind.

Ji Sheng belched, picked up a calligraphy and painting wrapped in red cloth and untied the belt, and then ...... Well, then he realized that it wasn't a calligraphy painting at all, but four of them tied together.

Each calligraphy and painting is about 25 centimeters long and wide, and square.

Old Man Zhi just glanced at it, and then laughed and said, "It turned out to be "Ten Views of West Lake". ”

Ji Sheng didn't understand much, but when he saw that there were two seals on it, one of which was the famous Emperor Qianlong, he was quite puzzled: "Is this the calligraphy and painting of Emperor Qianlong?" ”

"It's not." The old man shook his head and explained: "This calligraphy and painting is accurately said to be the Qianlong imperial inscription, Dong Bangda drawing, when I was a professor in the university, a student's family urgently used money to sell it to me, it seemed to be sixty years old, I only had a salary of sixty yuan a month, which was already a high income at that time, and I saw that the student was in a hurry to use money, so I spent two months' salary and bought it for one hundred and twenty yuan." ”

it!

One hundred and twenty dollars in sixty years?

Ji Sheng was taken aback, you must know that the per capita salary in 198 this year has increased a lot compared with last year, and it is only a little over 100 yuan.

Grain

However, he thought about it, although he didn't know who Dong Bangda was, but this calligraphy and painting Qianlong imperial inscription seemed to be one hundred and two was not too much.

"Then you've earned it." Ji Sheng said with a smile, "If this calligraphy and painting is kept for another twenty or thirty years, it may be sold for millions." ”

"Millions? I can't even think about it. The old man laughed, and introduced with great interest: "Dong Bangda is not simple, he is a jinshi in the eleventh year of Yongzheng, and he was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing; He successively served as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, a cabinet scholar, a servant of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials, the Imperial History of Zuodu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, etc., and was given the Forbidden City to ride a horse, which was the highest political treatment given to the Han people by the Qing Dynasty royal family. ”

is worthy of being a university professor, in the end, he is knowledgeable and talented, Ji Sheng sighed in his heart, and said in his mouth: "It seems that Dong Bangda is still quite famous." ”

"That is, he was called the first hand of the country at that time." The old man Zhi introduced: "Take this "Ten Views of the West Lake" as an example, it is Dong Bangda's superior work, but it is a pity, it was originally ten scenes, and now there are only four paintings left: "Oriole in the Willow Waves", "Watching the Fish in the Flower Port", "Twin Peaks Inserting Clouds" and "Leifeng Sunset". ”

Ji Sheng remembered that when he participated in Lao Zhang's private auction, Chen Lao once said that the price of calligraphy and painting generally depends on the author's fame, and since Dong Bangda is so famous, these calligraphy and paintings are Qianlong's imperial themes, and they should be sold at a good price if they want to be auctioned.

However, "Ten Views of West Lake" was supposed to be ten pictures, and now there are only four left, which may affect the price.

He thought about it, but he still didn't give up the bangs and splash paintings.

Put away these four calligraphy and paintings.

Ji Sheng continued to turn the second picture.

This time it is the masterpiece of Shen Xinhai, a disciple of Qian Hui'an, this painting called "Three Star Langzhao" is quite large, about one meter five high, seventy or eighty centimeters wide.

Old Man Zhi introduced Shen Xinhai and Qian Hui'an again.

Only then did Ji Sheng know how powerful these two representative painters of the Shanghai School were.

Then he looked at four or five more.

What are the works of Zhang Bihan, Li Tiefu and others, among which Li Tiefu's is still an oil painting.

Ji Sheng also learned a lot of knowledge of calligraphy and painting from the mouth of the old man.

Finally, when Ji Sheng got a relatively heavy painting and opened it, he saw the splashed color painting with the signature "Liu Haisu"!

This splash painting is very large, less than one and a half meters high, but it is more than three meters long.

When Ji Sheng spread it out, it almost occupied half of the room, the size of this painting was not what he was most surprised about, what Ji Sheng was most surprised about was that there were a few words written in this painting in 1982, he was stunned for a moment and looked at the old man Zhi, "This painting is eighty-two years old?" ”

"Yes!" Speaking of this painting, the old man laughed and said: "I became friends with Mr. Hai Weng at first sight, and when he finished painting this painting, I asked for it with a thick face as soon as possible." ”

Ji Sheng said: "Mr. Haiweng is Master Liu Haisu? ”

"Well, Master Liu Haisu's name is Hai Weng, and he and I were persecuted and locked up together for some reason in the past, because we are both intellectuals, and we became good friends at first sight." Old Man Zhi said bitterly: "It was really miserable at that time, Mr. Hai Weng almost didn't survive." ”

When Ji Sheng heard that this painting was the work of the old man, he was immediately a little embarrassed, "Originally, I still wanted this painting, but the old man, you and Mr. Hai Weng are close friends, forget it, I'll look at other paintings." ”

"You want this painting?" Old Man Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "If you want to, take it." ”

Ji Sheng sighed, "Isn't this what your friend gave you?" ”

"It's okay, I'll just ask him to draw another one when I have the chance." Old Man Zhi didn't care about the Tao.

Ji Sheng was dizzy, "You mean Mr. Hai Weng is still here?" ”

Old Man Zhi was speechless: "Do you think he died?" ”

Ji Sheng laughed dryly, he really didn't expect Liu Haisu to be alive, and subconsciously thought that these famous painters had passed away a long time ago.

"Did you really give it to me?" Ji Sheng said.

The old man said with a smile: "If you like it, take it, it's okay." ”

Here you go!

It's finally here!

The guaranteed value is 12 million!

Ji Sheng's heart was pounding, he had been busy for so many days, he could be regarded as getting this painting, and it was not in vain to spend so much effort to make Zhi Youcai change his evil and return to the right.

He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

As a result, the thing that made him even more excited came, I don't know if Mr. Zhi thought he really liked calligraphy and painting, or if Ji Sheng gave Zhi Youcai a job, Mr. Zhi said again: "Mr. Ji, you have done me a great favor this time, and you have arranged a job for my son, otherwise, you can pick another one from it." ”

took a splash painting worth thousands of gold, Ji Sheng was already very embarrassed, after all, if this splash painting was kept for more than 30 years, it would be sold for at least more than 10 million, he was not so thick-skinned, and refused: "Old man, no merit will be lost, I took your splash painting because I helped you, and it makes no sense to take it again." ”

Old Man Zhi was very satisfied with his attitude, nodded slightly and said: "I will definitely not give it if I change it to someone else, but Mr. Ji, you are an upright person and a rare gentleman in today's society, so I will give you one more picture." ”

Ji Sheng just wanted to say something.

The old man went on again: "Do you think my son's virtue can really quit gambling? ”

Ji Sheng thought about it and said honestly: "I will definitely not gamble again in the short term, and it is difficult to say in the future." ”

"As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, and I know what my adopted son is like." The old man sighed and said: "He's a person, maybe one day he will be addicted to gambling again, and then he will lose his family and bankrupt, and my calligraphy and paintings will definitely be stolen by him to sell, which is tantamount to harming him, rather than this, I might as well give you another one, just ask that one day after a hundred years, if my son encounters any difficulties, Mr. Ji, you can reach out to help him." ”

Ji Sheng saw the sincerity of what the old man said, so he immediately promised: "Except for gambling, I don't support him, I will help him if there are other difficulties." ”

"Then you get another painting." Old Man Zhi strongly demanded: "Otherwise, I won't worry." ”

Ji Sheng knew that he said this in order to make himself feel at ease to take the painting, and he couldn't help but admire the old man's attitude towards the world, and he said with a smile: "Since you always said this, then I am ashamed to be disrespectful." ”

He didn't expect such a good thing, he took a priceless splash painting, and the old man also gave him an extra calligraphy and painting.

Ji Sheng was very happy, and decided to take a good look at the rest of the calligraphy and paintings, and then decide which one to choose.
