After Wen Chengyi finished telling his daughter about the progress on his side, he was still a little worried: "Xiaoxi, is the news that Taiqing jade will soon drop to a bargain price really reliable?"
"Of course, Dad, just wait and see. Now that he's fallen into the pit, he won't be able to get out until he's half dead."
"Okay, then I'll wait and see that bastard cry for his parents!"
Wen Chengyi had already retrieved the lost goods and was in high spirits.
Soon after the news of his auction of the Taiqing Jade got out, Song Tengda was indeed anxious to sell it off. However, it was not easy to find someone capable of taking over in a short period of time. After all, it was not a small amount of money.
After much tossing and turning, the person who was finally able to make a move turned out to be an old acquaintance of Wen Chengyi.
Of course, these were all things that the father and daughter had already agreed upon, and they had no idea about it at all.
Wen Chengyi used part of the money Song Tengda used to buy the Taiqing jade to buy back the stolen jade. The remaining money almost covered the money he spent on buying a house for the Song family, as well as the amount he and his wife had embezzled from the company over the years.
Now that things have come to this, the dust has settled. The hard work the family has put in over the years has been preserved. As for those ungrateful people from the Song family, we'll have to wait and see in the spring.
The father and daughter discussed the follow-up matters and then ended the call.
Wen Xi hummed a little tune and returned home with a smile on her face.
My mother took her students to a competition in the neighboring city and will not be back until next week.
She made herself a simple meal, then went into the house and began to paint without eating or sleeping.
After carefully mounting the rice paper on the drawing board, Wen Xi began to paint the first stroke with a pious heart.
Once you start drawing, you can’t stop.
I stayed up for two days and two nights.
For fine brushwork painting, you must first use light ink to outline the draft. After the ink draft is completed, you can then start to outline the contours in detail.
Every stroke should be clear and have a sense of layering.
After the outline is completed, start coloring slowly.
Unlike some other painting methods, the colors of fine brushwork must be applied one by one, which is quite time-consuming and mentally taxing.
Wen Xi didn't feel tired at all.
She has been reading Grandpa He's notes and memoirs over and over again whenever she has free time.
The image of the old lady had passed through her mind thousands of times and she could even see it in her dreams.
The moment she started writing, she felt as if the old lady was standing right in front of her, within reach.
The whole person seemed to be bathed in the warm glow of the old man, and felt extremely comfortable all over.
Wenxi likes to paint in one go.
Before I knew it, two days and two nights had passed, and it was already Sunday afternoon.
Looking at the work on the drawing board that she had worked so hard to complete, she felt filled with indescribable satisfaction.
Hey, why is it so beautiful?
She was moved by her own paintings...
After taking a short nap, taking a shower and changing clothes, Wen Xi went out with the painting in his arms.
Although she felt a little dizzy from staying up late, the old man's tea party was about to start at 6 o'clock and she couldn't be late.
-
Western suburbs, the old house of the He family.
It was not even 6 o'clock yet, but the house was already crowded with guests and carriages, making people almost forget that this place had been forgotten by the world for a long time.
Although the He family was a famous family, it was inevitably in decline after experiencing war and turmoil.
Although the old man of the He family had made outstanding contributions, he was not greedy for power and credit, and retired from his position very early.
The only son later worked in a special department.
Like father, like son. In peacetime, he still charged to the front line and made many contributions. However, he died unexpectedly while performing a special mission. To make matters worse, his eldest grandson and his wife, who were doctors without borders, also met with an accident during a foreign aid mission.
