Chapter 61: Married her, but didn't cherish it

The fan is finally complete.

Li Zao placed the fan on a specific table, and with a dozen spotlights overhead, the orchids on the fan seemed to be injected with life, realistic and vivid.

She contacted Ji Li, and she was able to deliver the goods, so she could make an appointment to send it over.

But Ji Li said: "Li Zao, no, my father and I will go over and get it now." ”

Li Zao looked at the sky outside, it's evening, still coming?

"The subway is being built in front of the gallery, and the road is not easy to walk, why don't you wait for me to send it there tomorrow?"

Ji Li insisted: "It's okay, we have already set off, you send me the location." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes. ”

Ji Honghai has always admired Li Zao, and before he knew Li Zao's identity, he collected Li Zao's "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" with his eyes.

After knowing Li Zao's identity, he was even more shocked and admired.

She was a born artist.

The Lu family's merchant family actually married her.

married her, but he didn't know how to cherish it.

Ji Honghai was very curious about Li Zao, especially after she rejected the olive branch thrown by Ji's auction house and signed a little-known agent instead, he was even more curious.

As soon as he heard that the fan had been completed, he couldn't wait to meet him, and he also stopped by to see the agent.

and her small gallery.

On the gallery side, Su Kui and Li Zao were very excited, both excited and anxious.

During this period of time, the flow of people in the gallery was pitiful, and the only people who came were old customers with reservations, and there were basically no new customers.

Ji Honghai and Ji Li suddenly said that they were coming, and they immediately tacitly agreed to clean up separately.

It's definitely too late, the air conditioner was turned on immediately, the water was also boiling, Su Kui was patting the ashes with a feather duster inside, and Li had already wiped the signboard clean outside.

An hour later, the guest finally arrived.

"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji, please inside."

Li Zao and Su Kui greeted the two at the door on the left and on the right.

The place is shabby, and the etiquette is even more thoughtful.

Ji Honghai stepped forward, and the words "Sunflower Gallery" on the signboard were polished with golden light, and if you pay close attention, you can see the water stains that have not dried.

He will smile and see through it.

Walking inside, there is a black top and white wall, and there are paintings hanging on the white wall.

None of those paintings are the high-end imitations that are proliferating on the market, and each one can be called a masterpiece.

There are two open houses here, as well as the second floor, and the whole layout and decoration looks like an exhibition hall, simple, modern, avant-garde, and very high-end.

If it weren't for the subway closure in front, the location here would also be very good.

"Where did Boss Su get these paintings?" Ji Honghai asked.

Ji Honghai is a benchmark figure in the industry, and Su Kui was flattered by a "Boss Su", and his voice trembled slightly, "There are Li Zao's paintings, some of my paintings, and some of our Qingmei classmates, put them here for consignment." It's all a small business, and I rely on my friends to help me. ”

"Boss Su can also draw?" Ji Honghai was very surprised.

He had a relationship with Su Kui, that is, the girl who came with Li Zao last time he met Li Zao.

"Hehehehe, a little fight, if you can't take it, my paintings are just a number." Su Kui has a lively personality, she can be a little more restrained when she is nervous at first, and seeing that Ji Honghai is quite talkative, she won't accept it, "I actually don't like painting, and I hate embroidery even more, it's all forced by my family, alas, ......"

"Embroidery?" Ji Honghai was even more curious.

Embroidery and silk are both traditional crafts that young people learn very little and even fewer are proficient in.

The Su family is an embroidery family, and the embroidery craft has been passed down from generation to generation, but when it comes to Su Kui, she is not killed.

Su Kui was even more naughty than boys when she was a child, and her mother asked her to work as a female worker, and she could bend needles.

Let her embroider the simplest leaf, she tinkered with a piece of for a long time.

Asked her to mend the holes in her school pants, she went down with scissors and cut a pair of torn copper pants.

Su's father and mother both saw that their daughter was not only not talented in embroidery, but also had no interest in it.

So, he handed over his daughter to Li Zao's grandfather.

Li Zao's grandfather was not only a silk craftsman, but also a calligrapher and painter.

Su Kui is not interested in embroidery, and he is even more indifferent to silk, and in comparison, he is barely able to paint.

Su Kui was able to learn painting well, and he was completely brought up by his excellent and self-disciplined companions.

That excellent and self-disciplined companion is, of course, Li Zao.

Even their uncle and mother said that their daughter can have this skill, and she can be admitted to Qingmei with this skill, all thanks to Li Zao.

"Yes, Su Kui can also embroider," Li Zao said happily, and took them to a small room next door, "Mr. Ji, these embroidery works are from Su Kui's hand, and this is also where I usually work." ”

This small room is different from the outside, with a blue-gray wall bottom and hand-painted simple dark lines, which looks simple and elegant.

One in and one out, modern and old, high and sophisticated, form a strong contrast.

Although Su Kui hates embroidery, it is a family heirloom.

Everyone in the family is an embroidery master, and even if she learns to be half-hanging, she can fill the faΓ§ade.

Ji Honghai watched it with relish and joked: "Boss Su, your craftsmanship is a bit sloppy, the embroidered butterfly is a little fatter, and it doesn't fly lightly enough." ”

Su Kui's face turned red, "Ahem, I'm all dead ducks on the shelves, the scalp, alas, it's insulting to the family." ”

As soon as Ji Li entered the room, he was attracted by the silk machine.

This was the first time he had seen a silk machine.

This silk machine is not big, and it was specially sent by Su's father to transport it from Sioux City.

Although Su's father does not support his daughter's business, he is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and he will definitely provide everything he needs on his daughter's side.

There was also a half-cut silk thread on the machine, and a small shuttle was placed next to it.

Ji Li picked up the little shuttle and made a few strokes on the silk thread, feeling very magical.

"The fan is here," Li Zao turned on the spotlight, "Please inspect the goods, two." ”

Su Kui suppressed her passionate emotions, this is Li Zao's first business after marriage, although she can't help, but she can't make trouble for people and drag others back.

Ji Honghai and Ji Li's eyes both fell on the fans.

The fan surface is an orchid, the silk thread is thin, the silk thread is neatly woven, and the thread is not visible on both sides.

The petals are woven with different shades of yellow-green with a wooden comb technique, and the flowers and leaves are woven with blue and green.

Locally use twisted gold lines to outline the outline, double lines of leaf veins, and single lines of petals, which are both distinct and realistic.

Next to the finished fan, there is a picture of an orchid that has been framed.

A small black and white painting of Danqing vividly outlines the posture of the orchid.

Comparing the two compartments, the orchids on the Danqing painting are like the past life, and the orchids on the fan are like the present life, putting them together is more like a dialogue between the past life and the present life.

I didn't say anything, but I seemed to understand everything.

Silence is better than sound.

This is the highest level of art.

Ji Honghai was fascinated by it, and even the layman's Ji Li was amazed.

Seeing this, Su Kui nudged Li Zao with his elbow, winked at her, and successfully entered the account.
