Chapter 18: The Fish Takes the Bait

After a while, Shen Ao came out of the side room and said very embarrassedly: "Brother Pan, I'm afraid I can't drink this tea." ”

Pan Ren shook his head in disappointment and said, "Then let's change to visit and say goodbye." ”

This person is very powerful, and when he heard that there was good tea to drink, he rushed over, and when he saw that there was no tea, he immediately wanted to leave.

Shen Ao took his arm and held him: "Since you're here, why are you leaving?" We're friends, aren't we? Come, come, go sit down first, I'll teach Wu San'er to flush some water for us. ”

Pan Ren was driven by Shen Ao, so he had to follow him into the small hall on the other side, Shen Ao asked Pan Ren to sit down, Pan Ren was a little reluctant, and said: "I just remembered one thing, and I still have some things to do, and I really can't pull away." ”

Shen Ao just didn't let him go, pressed him on the stool very enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Brother Pan, don't worry, sit down first." ”

One of the two wanted to leave, and the other was desperate to stay, but it was not good to tear their faces, and in the end, Pan Ren was still stubborn, so he had to sit down and talk to Shen Ao.

Shen Ao said the tea ceremony, his eyes swept away, fell on the east wall, and suddenly became angry again: "Wu San'er, Wu San'er, you come." ”

Wu San'er hurriedly came from the kitchen: "Young master, what's wrong?" ”

Shen Ao held up the fan bone and lit up a painting hanging on the east wall and said, "Who put this painting on?" Didn't Young Master Ben say it? I hate sticking these things the most, tear them off, tear them off, quickly. ”

Wu San'er was very embarrassed and said: "Young master, this is what the young lady asked the little one to frame, and the young lady said that it looks so good." ”

"What a nice fart!" Shen Ao scolded: "Tear it off!" ”

Wu San'er had to tear it up, with this little episode, Pan Ren paid attention to this painting, he has a lot of experience in painting, after all, it is a fireworks venue, if you want business to prosper, it is always necessary to create an atmosphere of more talented and beautiful people.

"This painting seems to be made by Yang Jie, but I don't know if it's genuine." Pan Ren thought in his heart, so he stood up and said to Wu San'er, who had taken off the painting, "I'll take a look at this painting." ”

After taking the painting, Pan Ren looked at it carefully, looked at the texture and paper of the painting, and believed that it was genuine. said in his heart: "It's a pity, it's a pity, although Yang Jie's paintings are overflowing, but the painting style is good, this painting is worth at least more than 30 yuan, even if it is sold for 50 yuan." It's a pity that this gentleman doesn't know how to do it, it's a pity, it's a pity. He secretly said that it was a pity, and his eyes showed an inseparable meaning.

"Why, Brother Pan also loves to paint?" Shen Ao asked as he knocked on the fan bone.

Pan Ren hurriedly said: "I don't like it, it's just a vassal elegance." ”

Shen Ao said very generously: "Since Brother Pan likes it, then I will give you this painting." ”

"Huh?" Pan Ren was stunned, and then he was overjoyed, and he didn't want to be modest: "This ...... This...... A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others......"

Shen Ao said very vulgarly: "My father likes to collect some paintings, but I don't like it, and I can't talk about anything that is good for people." I wish I couldn't give away these paintings, and I can't give them to you anyway. Besides, I still have a whole box of paintings like this hidden in my house, all of which were left by my father. What did my father like to call that? By the way, his name is Yang Jie, and he said that he painted well, and in my opinion, the painting is good and has a fart use, and it can't be exchanged for silver. ”

Shen Ao's painting Pan Ren only listened to half of it, he was already dumbfounded, and said in ecstasy: "A whole box, his father likes Yang Jie's paintings, this whole box is eighty percent of Yang Jie's works, this kid is sitting on Baoshan, he is still ignorant, crazy, crazy." ”

After thinking about it, Pan Ren asked tentatively, "Oh? Ling Zun actually collected so many paintings? I think I'm obsessed with that Yang Jie, I'm afraid that there are sixty or seventy pieces in this box, right? ”

Shen Ao pursed his lips and said, "Sixty or seventy? You also underestimate your father, our Shen family had more than a fortune back then, and in order to collect these paintings, my father sent many people to various places to collect and buy. Let me think about it......" Shen Ao looked up at the beam, very stupid and naΓ―ve, and after a moment, he slapped his palm with a fan bone: "Hmm...... Yes, there are 300 paintings to say to least, my father once told me when he was alive, what Yang Jie's paintings are overflowing, there are at least 1,000 of them surviving in the world, and he monopolizes 30%, 30% of 1,000 paintings, isn't it 300? Nothing more, no less. ”

"Three hundred!" Pan Ren's eyes were about to fall, and he sat with a wooden heartbeat.

"Three hundred, even if Yang Jie's paintings are counted as thirty guan, three hundred is a full nine thousand, nine thousand guan......"

Shen Ao shook his fan and said very dissatisfiedly: "I get angry when I think of this, in order to collect these tattered papers, my father spent nearly half of the family wealth. These things are neither edible nor worn, what is the use, if it were not for the relics of my father, I really want to burn these broken things and make me angry. ”

"Can't burn, can't burn ......" Pan Ren hurriedly waved his hand, his heart and liver were about to jump out, when he encountered this kind of bastard thing that was tyrannical, Pan Ren couldn't wait to incite him a few ear scrapers in person.

Shen Ao was stunned: "Why can't you burn it?" Hey, could it be that there is something else wrong with this painting? Or can it be sold for silver? ”

"No, no, it's not worth a lot of money." Pan Ren froze and said in his heart: "You have to stabilize this bastard thing first, you can't let him burn the painting, and you can't let him know the value of this painting." ”

"I mean, these paintings are relics of Ling Zun after all, and Gongzi burned it, how can he be worthy of Ling Zun? Our Great Song Dynasty established the country with filial piety, whether it is a farmer or a businessman, this filial piety word should still be remembered. Pan Ren said cautiously.

"Hmm." Shen Ao nodded: "That's what I mean, so I don't burn it, but well, piling up at home is indeed an obstacle, hey, don't say this, I feel very upset when I think about it." ”

Pan Ren said: "Yes, don't talk about this. ”

Shen Ao said: "Didn't Brother Pan say that there was something at home? Although we are acquainted for the first time, it is like acquaintance at first sight, let's stop here today, and invite Brother Pan to tea in a few days. ”

Just now Pan Ren wanted to leave, Shen Ao stopped him desperately, and now Shen Ao wanted Pan Ren to go, but Pan Ren didn't leave, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll sit for a while, it's rare to meet a confidant and friend." ”

Shen Ao was not reluctant, and laughed: "Yes, we are good friends, Brother Pan will come in the future, and you are welcome to leave it at any time." ”

Pan Ren nodded stunned, but a pair of eyes greedily looked at the paintings on the table, and said in his heart: "Take this painting back, let Mr. Xu help me see if it is true or false, if it is true, then find a way to get the rest of the paintings together, and once it changes hands, it will be a windfall." It's so good that the surname Shen is so stupid. It's really providence, if it weren't for the money bag, where could there be such an opportunity, woe and blessing rely on, blessing and misfortune lurk, haha, the ancients did not deceive me. ”

The two had a casual conversation, Shen Ao talked about tea, and then talked about eating, as if he knew all the delicacies in the world, and said that the head was the way, as if the world's famous dishes had been tried. Pan Ren believes that Shen Ao is a defeated son, otherwise, with his current family background, not to mention the expensive dishes such as Wuxi meat bones, Lu manuscript recommended pork head meat, and Peixian dog meat, even the cooked beef of Juxianglou in Bianjing City will not be able to taste.

After talking for a while, the sky was getting dark, and Shen Ao said: "If Brother Pan doesn't give up, let's have a light meal at the house, my son has been strapped lately, hehe, the hospitality is not good, and I ask Brother Pan to forgive me." ”

Pan Ren hurriedly stood up and rolled the painting in his hand: "I've been bothered for so long, why am I embarrassed to eat here, so I won't bother, Pan said goodbye." ”

Pan Ren was anxious to identify the matter, but Shen Ao was bent on keeping it, and the two of them were still entangled in the courtyard, and there was a voice from Miss Zhou's room in Leng Buding: "If you want to go, you can leave, what do you want to do." The family is poor, and you still teach people to eat, you go and see the rice jar to see if we still have rice in the pot? You unconscionable thing, being a sister accompanies you to starve and freeze, how can you be so arrogant to outsiders? Be wide, don't go home. ”

Pan Ren's face changed, and he immediately smiled bitterly. Shen Ao couldn't hold his face, and yelled at the wing: "Sister, what are you talking about?" If I leave my friends for dinner, will it get in the way of you again? ”

Pan Ren hurriedly grabbed Shen Ao and said, "Shen Gongzi, forget it, I will say goodbye and choose to visit again." ”

Shen Ao looked very depressed, and muttered, "My sister has this temper, hey...... In that case, I will not give it away. ”

said that he would not send it, Shen Ao kept sending Pan Ren to the street entrance, and then he smiled and shook the steps of Brother Gongzi to go back.
