Chapter 5: How could this painting end up in his hands?!
The main hall of the Chen Mansion.
Mu Huanyan looked at the table in the middle, and the old man with white hair was sitting on the Taishi chair at the top, it should be Old Man Chen.
When his grandfather sold this old mansion, he didn't take the opportunity to lower the price, which was considered a gift in the snow, and he should be a credible person.
She wanted to identify herself to Old Man Chen and borrow some life-saving money from him.
Although, grandpa told him not to reveal his identity, the water in the imperial capital is too deep, and he doesn't know whether the other party is friend or foe.
However, she had no other way, otherwise she could only commit herself to Gu Shiyan.
It's not good to borrow money from Chen Yue, Chen Yue is chasing her, and if she borrows it, she can't tell clearly, and he doesn't have that much money.
Just thinking about it, Chen Yue ran over, "Huan Yan, hurry up, grandpa wants to see your painting." ”。
"Okay." Mu Huanyan got up slowly and walked over generously to meet everyone's eyes.
His eyes swept over the few people next to Chen Lao, and found that they were all from the family with a head and face in the imperial capital.
It's just that Gu Shiyan is also there!
Before, I had never heard of the Gu family in the imperial capital, which should be a rising star.
"Grandpa, this is Mu Huanyan."
Mu Huanyan bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Old Chen, hello." I wish you happiness such as the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan. ”
"Okay, thank you." Old Man Chen looked her up and down and said with a smile: "I always feel that you are a little familiar, and I can't remember it for a while." ”。
Mu Huan smiled lightly, and Chen Yue was on the side, gently unfolding the scroll.
On the long golden hairpin paper, several kinds of orchids are drawn, with different forms and lifelike.
"Old Chen, this is my own drawing, I hope you like it."
Old man Chen put on his glasses and took a closer look, "Huilan, Chunlan, Hanlan, Tiger Head Orchid...... yes, the leaf veins are clearly visible, but they are not rigid, the flowers and leaves are smart, as if they are alive, the painting is fine, the pen is steady, and the foundation is profound. ”
"Chen Lao has won the award."
Old Man Chen took off his glasses, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have grown orchids all my life, this is the first time someone has sent me an orchid painting, I like it very much, thank you." ”。
"Gentleman Rulan, just right for you." Gu Shiyan said.
"Hahaha" Old Man Chen smiled and moved, pointing to the painting: "Frame it and hang it in my study." ”。
Mu Huanyan clenched her fingers and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard Chen Yue say: "Uncle, isn't your gift also a painting?!" Open it and take a look, and our family's happy Bibi. ”
Gu Shiyan bent his lips and slowly unfolded the scroll, Mu Huanyan's heart was shocked, and he almost screamed, it was Shen Quan's "Pine Crane Longevity Map".
How is this painting in his hands?!
She had seen the list of treasures that her father had escorted back then, and this painting was in the list!
However, those treasures have long been missing, and even my father's life and death are unknown, how could this painting be in Gu Shiyan's hands?!
Mu Huanyan looked at Gu Shiyan and said, "Let the uncle smile, my painting really can't be compared with the uncle's "Pine Crane Longevity Map". ”
"You know this painting?" Old Man Chen looked at her with a slightly surprised tone.
She nodded, "This is the work of Shen Quan, a famous calligrapher and painter in the Qing Dynasty, who is good at painting flowers, birds and beasts, and his brushwork is known for its precision and beauty, and it is exquisite." ”
"Not bad, not bad." Old Man Chen stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, then raised his chin to look at Chen Yue, "You kid has a good eye." ”。
Chen Yue smirked, his cheeks flushed, and he kept looking at Mu Huanyan.
Gu Shiyan looked at Mu Huanyan, her eyebrows lowered, and she looked intently at the picture of the pine crane extending her life.
"Miss Mu likes this painting very much?"
"It's so precious, I want to see more."
Gu Shiyan picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly, looking at Mu Huanyan from time to time, but his mind was full of pictures of that night, which was really up.
