Chapter 612 - Encounter the Mysterious Painting Again
Lu Zhancai knew that he was not making a big fuss like this, if he thought that he had a special identity and did not have to worry about being retaliated against by Wang Lun, it would be a big mistake.
Because he doesn't know Wang Lun, he can't be sure that after his son apologizes to Wang Lun, Wang Lun will really not blame the past.
In case Wang Lun is a person who is not easy to talk to and holds grudges, once he decides to take revenge, even he can't stop him.
Just in case, he could only spend a lot of money to curry favor with Wang Lun.
After apologizing to Wang Lun in person, he pointed to the gift brought over from the table and said, "Master Wang, this is a small welcome gift that my son and I have prepared for Master Wang, and I ask Master Wang to accept it." ”
Lu Zhancai thought that as long as Wang Lunken accepted these things, the matter would be equivalent to solving the problem.
hinted at his son Lu Qiaobo with his eyes, and Lu Zhancai wanted his son to apologize to Wang Lun as well.
Lu Qiaobo was just about to speak, but Wang Lun stretched out his hand to stop him, Wang Lun said: "There is no need to apologize again." ”
Lu Zhancai's heart was cold, and he secretly said that something bad was wrong, Wang Lun was still angry, and he didn't want to talk to them more.
Sure enough, he then heard Wang Lun say to him: "These two bottles of wine, as well as this calligraphy and painting, you can take them back." ”
Lu Zhancai's face stiffened, and he was so stunned that he didn't know what to do at this moment, so he had to smile and say politely: "Master Wang, we sincerely apologize to Master Wang, and ask Master Wang to forgive my son's mistakes." ”
After speaking, he and Lu Qiaobo both looked at Wang Lun with nervousness.
However, what Lu Zhan saw was not that Wang Lun had a cold face, but that Wang Lun's face was mild.
"Master Wang, what are you ......" Lu Zhancai was puzzled.
Wang Lun said calmly: "I told your son at that time that my cousin's matter has been resolved, and you don't need to apologize." ”
Hearing this, Lu Zhan was surprised and delighted. Wang Lun is such a big person, of course, he will not make fun of himself.
He hurriedly said, "Thank you Master Wang, Master Wang is really an adult. ”
Wang Lun took a sip of tea and didn't say anything. The Tao is not the same, and he and the other two actually have nothing to say.
Not enemies, no contradictions, but not friends either.
Lu Zhancai is also a person with rich experience, seeing Wang Lun like this, he not only knows that his worries have been solved, but also knows that he should go.
It's just that I'm so embarrassed to bring back the things I brought with me like this.
Lu Zhancai opened his mouth and said, "I took the liberty to visit Master Wang, I hope Master Wang can like these gifts, so we will leave first." ”
"Take the things. ”
Wang Lun said. He has a vision, knowing that the few gifts brought by the other party have a certain value, especially the two bottles of Moutai, the year should be very old, his father Wang Dafang usually likes to drink some wine, there is this pair of wine for Dad, Dad must like it.
It's just that he doesn't want to take things from the other party.
"Master Wang, you are a master, and you may not like money for tobacco and alcohol, but Master Wang may be interested in this character and this painting. ”
Lu Zhancai thinks that Wang Lun is a master in the world, and he is not short of money, and he doesn't like vulgar things, thinking that Wang Lun likes calligraphy and painting.
He also had a good intention, as if he didn't send a few things out, and if he didn't see Wang Lun accept it, his heart was not steady, so he had the courage to stay temporarily, and opened Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy post with his own hands and showed it to Wang Lun.
He glanced at Lu Qiaobo again, and the latter understood, picked up another painting on the table and unfolded it.
Wang Lun is not a vassal and elegant person, and he has no ability to appreciate calligraphy and painting itself, nor is he interested, so he glanced at the words and paintings, and planned to let the other party take them back.
But in his sight, there seemed to be something that alarmed his memory!
Wang Lun couldn't help but look at that painting again!
The painting, which is about one meter high and half a meter long, depicts a cold and lonely desert night scene, and you can see a majestic palace standing in the vast desert.
In the vast desert, this palace stands alone, so the palace looks particularly conspicuous and cold.
The painter's painting skills are very strong, and he uses the painting method of splashing ink, which completely embodies the artistic conception of the lonely sandbar cold.
From this point alone, this painting is remarkable, and it belongs to the absolute masterpiece of painting.
However, what surprised Wang Lun was not that the painting showed a high level of painting value.
Because, he had seen a painting with the same scene as this.
It is also an endless desert, and it is also a majestic palace standing alone.
In addition, the most conspicuous thing is also in the sky, there are two bright moons!
These two bright moons are not real and the other is illusory, but both exist.
The meaning embodied in the painting also indicates that there are two bright moons in this place at the same time, and at night, they will appear together in the canopy and be seen.
"Where did you get this painting?"
Wang Lun stared at the painting for a few seconds before he suddenly turned around and asked Lu Zhancai.
Lu Zhancai was taken aback, Wang Lun's behavior didn't seem to be like he was excited because he was happy to see Hunting, but he still replied truthfully: "It was handed down from my father's hand, and my father said that this painting has been passed down from generation to generation in our family since the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Does it have a name, is there any record of any information about it?" Wang Lun asked, his tone a little urgent.
He didn't care that he was losing his temper, the origin of the painting was very important to him.
He got half of the yellow silk from the Sable King, and the content of the yellow silk is a minimalist version of this painting, which is not reflected in the painting skills, but what is shown is a map, the only building in the map is a palace, but there is no accurate route to indicate the location of the palace, and the only reference is the two bright moons in the sky.
What the yellow silk map shows must be a treasure place, but there is too little specific information that can be reflected in this half of the treasure map, only knowing that the place where the two bright moons appeared, and then finding the palace, the treasure is in the palace.
Only half of the map is available, and the half of the palace is missing.
For a long time, Wang Lun held this half of the yellow silk map, but he was unwilling to throw it away, and he couldn't use it.
Now that he suddenly found that the content of a painting happened to be exactly the same as the one on the treasure map, it was equivalent to having the opportunity to directly find the whereabouts of the treasure palace, and Wang Lun was naturally very interested.
"There is one name, called Cold Night Sand Autumn Map. ”
Lu Zhancai said the name of the painting, knowing that Wang Lun's answer was not only this, and then said, "My father and my grandfather have not said what the origin of this painting is, only that this painting was also received by my ancestors, who opened a pawn shop in the early Ming Dynasty, and I heard that this painting was pawned at a low price, but it was well preserved at that time, and no one redeemed it later. ”
Wang Lun looked over, in fact, he also found that this painting was very well preserved, and the other party didn't say it, he didn't know that this painting was handed down during the Ming Dynasty.
Lu Zhancai continued.
"But what follows the painting seems to be a glass bottle containing dried animal corpses. ”
Seeing that Wang Lun had been listening, Lu Zhancai also recalled: "I haven't seen the glass bottle for a long time, maybe it's still at home, the glass bottle is about one-sixth the size of the mineral water bottle, and it is stuffed with something like a scorpion, only the back half of the scorpion's body, shriveled, my father mentioned it by chance, saying that the bottle was pawned with this painting at first, and the bottle was worthless, but the person who pawned it insisted on putting the two things together, and my father also said that the ancestors had also studied it, and did not find anything abnormal in this bottle, and then it was ignored." ”
"I haven't seen it either, it seems like everything we can't fit in the house has been stuffed into the attic, Dad, maybe we can find that glass bottle. ”
Lu Qiaobo said after thinking about it.
In addition to discarding some of the things that his family doesn't want, there are always some things that he is reluctant to throw away, but they take up space when they are put away, so his mother will tidy up this part of the things and put them in the attic. Anyway, there is a small attic in his house, and he doesn't live in people, so he just places sundries.
Like his father Lu Zhancai, he also saw that Wang Lun was not interested in Moutai and Yan Zhenqing's authentic calligraphy works, but was interested in the painting and the origin of the painting, and in order to gain favor, he wanted to contribute to this matter.
Anyway, this painting is not an ancestral heirloom of his family, but it has been passed down from generation to generation, and there are other ancestral items, and this painting is not very valuable or symbolic.
If he can take advantage of this matter to become familiar in front of Master Wang, it will definitely be a good thing for him and his family.
On the side, Lu Zhancai glanced at his son Lu Qiaobo with satisfaction, thinking that Lu Qiaobo was right to do this.
Wang Lun asked at this time: "Can you cut your love and sell this painting to me?" or I can exchange it for something else. ”
Wang Lun did not hide his desire to get this painting.
Of course, he won't say what is behind it.
The other party will only think that he likes such paintings, and he is also interested in the origin of this painting.
Lu Zhancai hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can we ask for Master Wang's money, Master Wang can like this painting, it's too late for us to be happy, Master Wang can just take it." ”
But Wang Lun has never been a person who will take advantage of others, so he asked for Lu Qiaobo's bank card number and directly transferred 400,000 yuan to the other party's account.
Seeing this, the father and son of the Lu family had no choice but to smile and thank them, in fact, they knew that Wang Lun was returning one yard to one yard, and after giving the money, they didn't owe them any favors.
Therefore, if you want to have a relationship with Wang Lunpan in the future, you still can't.
Lu Zhancai had no choice but to scold his son Lu Qiaobo. Don't look at the hundreds of thousands, but the losses are much more, this time the loss of a great opportunity to get to know Wang Lun is also a lesson and punishment for them.
"You two, I want to get that glass bottle, please go home and look for it, can you?"
Wang Lun said.
"No problem, of course. Lu Zhancai hurriedly said.
......
Wang Lun waited for less than a day, and the next morning, Lu Qiaobo came over, saying that Lu Zhan had business and couldn't leave, so he sent him and brought the glass bottle.
"Master Wang, here you go. ”
Lu Qiaobo handed a glass bottle that had turned dark yellow to Wang Lun.
The surface of this bottle is covered with all kinds of scratches, and after so many years, it looks very fragile, as if anyone can crush it with a pinch.
However, after Wang Lun took it in his hand, he soon found that the glass bottle was old, but because the material was somewhat special, if an adult pinched it with both hands, he could not break the bottle after pinching a few times.
The glass used in this bottle is not the kind used in the Ming Dynasty, to be precise, it is made by the process of refining, and the material used is called glazed sand, which is one of the materials often used by refining monks.
In other words, the bottle was made by a monk.
