Chapter 1847 Complete Your Happiness (4)
"It's also a coincidence. A friend of mine in the United States happened to know the seller... They foreigners don't understand the profoundness of our Chinese traditional paintings, so it's meaningless to keep them in their hands. He just wanted to sell them, and I just wanted to buy them...I've already found someone It has been appraised, and it is genuine... I hope Grandpa Su likes it." Qin Chu said it very sincerely, and his attitude was also sincere.
Grandpa Su took the picture scroll and couldn't put it down...
"I've heard that he drew a picture of a gentleman... I didn't expect... I was lucky enough to see it many years later. I really don't have any regrets... This picture of a gentleman is said to have been drawn by him when he was traveling with his friends in Meishan. The painting... is also a relatively satisfactory work among his own paintings... It really is everyone's style, the painting style is clear and unique, and the strokes are vigorous and powerful... The most important thing is that it is rare to paint the four kinds of flowers of plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo... The essence of the painting is not It's easy, in your words now, it's a distraction... so it's rare and precious."
"Grandpa Su, as long as you like it." Huo Mian smiled.
"I like it...of course I like it very much, you have a heart..." Grandpa Su gave Qin Chu an approving look.
"It's nothing, as long as you like it..."
Afterwards, Qin Chu picked up the prepared square brocade box and handed it over, pushing it in front of Papa Su.
"I have a gift too?" Papa Su was rarely kind.
"Uncle Su...you have to take a look before you talk..." Huo Mian smiled mysteriously.
Papa Su slowly opened the brocade box, looking at the ink-black inkstone inside, it was almost like falling in love at first sight.
"This... You two are really good... It seems that you have checked my preferences clearly. That kid Su Yu said it?" Papa Su picked up the inkstone and couldn't put it down.
"No, Su Yucai didn't want to tell me... I guessed it myself. I've been to the study, and I've seen inkstones that you have the most collection of." Huo Mian pursed her lips and smiled.
As the saying goes, gifts must be given according to what one likes, not because of the value, but because of the heart.
When Su's father picked up the back of the inkstone, he was slightly surprised.
"There are words... It seems to be... Lanting Preface." Papa Su exclaimed.
"Uncle Su has good eyesight... Although this inkstone is not carved with the best material, the craftsmanship is very complicated. It was made by the modern master Feng Hongqing... It is 196 cm long, 118 cm wide, and 16 cm thick. There are as many as 168 stone eyes on the inkstone. This... is unique in the world, the patterns are carved in the style of Ming blue and white, and the engraving on the back is indeed Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", so this inkstone is named "Lanting Elegant Rhyme"." Qin Chu patiently explained.
"Lanting Yayun... Really good... Good name, I like it."
"Similarly, this one is not expensive... because it is modern... So, Uncle Su, don't worry about it. The reason why you bought it is because you think the handicraft is good... You can still see it, a little bit of thought, please don't let it go dislike."
Qin Chu spoke slowly...
Papa Su raised his head, his eyes showing appreciation.
"Qin Chu...you are about the same age as our little Yu...but you have such insight into these things...It can be seen that you are also well-informed."
"Uncle's absurd praise... Was my father also very interested in these things back then? I was also influenced by my ears and eyes, so I have been influenced since I was a child... I just know a little bit." Qin Chu is modest.
At this time, Douding's eyeballs rolled around, and he asked in a childish voice, "Daddy, you bought a gift for Grandpa, and a gift for Grandpa Su... What about Grandma Su... Grandma Su won't you?" No, right? That would be very embarrassing... Daddy, you won't be patriarchal, will you?"
Douding's words made everyone laugh.
Mother Su just came out of the kitchen and asked as she walked, "Douding, what gift are you preparing for Grandma Su? Come, let me see."
"Aunt Su, here is your gift..." Huo Mian smiled and got up, picking up a large beautifully wrapped box in her hands.
