Jiang Li's calligraphy was highly regarded in the Lu family.
The old lady of the Lu family was extremely pleased.
They held onto it like it was a priceless treasure, refusing to let go.
"Mom, don't hoard it all by yourself." The eldest son of the Lu family said helplessly, "You told us to come back and see the baby, but you're holding him yourself and won't even let us see him. Isn't that a bit too much? You might as well not have called us back at all."
The old lady of the Lu family snorted, her face full of disdain, "You're not the second son, how could you possibly understand it?"
The eldest son of the Lu family: "..."
The eldest son of the Lu family did not inherit the scholarly temperament of his mother at all. He liked to play with swords and spears from a young age and later embarked on the path of military and political affairs.
Compared to the rest of the Lu family, he was just a rough, unrefined man.
Because there was no way to change his personality, Madam Lu could only place her hopes on her second son.
Compared to the eldest son, the biggest advantage of the second son of the Lu family is that he is obedient.
Under the pressure of his father, and also to please his mother, he pretended to be an expert in calligraphy for decades...
It's quite difficult for someone to do that.
Just then, the second son of the Lu family returned.
He didn't check the family group chat; he only rushed back after his elderly mother called him.
"Mom, what's wrong? What happened at home?" The second son of the Lu family came in a hurry, running all the way after getting out of the car, and he was still a little out of breath when he spoke.
With some reluctance, Madam Lu handed the words in her hand to the second son of the Lu family, saying, "Take a look at this."
The second son of the Lu family looked downcast as soon as he saw the thing.
He really doesn't like watching it.
But what could he do when faced with his own mother's gaze?
We had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
But when he saw those words, all the frustration in his heart vanished instantly.
Lu family's second son: "!!!"
This calligraphy is on a completely different level from the calligraphy he usually appreciates!
Compared to previous masters of calligraphy, his work is even more outstanding.
Anyway...
He admitted that he was completely outmatched.
"Where did this character come from?" The second son of the Lu family looked at his mother curiously. "If I remember correctly, this character seems to be from the hand of Yang He."
His carefully crafted persona suggests he has some understanding of the calligraphy world.
This mysterious calligrapher, whose voice is heard but whose face is never seen, must have caused such a huge commotion; he couldn't possibly be unaware of it.
"Ask your son," the old lady of the Lu family glanced at Lu Jiming.
Lu Jiming: "..."
All eyes turned to him in an instant, making Lu Jiming wish he could be invisible.
However, he still said vaguely, "Jiang Li asked me to bring this over, saying it was a thank-you gift for my father."
Lu family's second son: "???"
Everyone: "!!!"
"What thank-you gift?" The old lady of the Lu family's expression immediately turned serious. "What did he do that requires my future daughter-in-law to prepare a thank-you gift for him?"
And this thank-you gift...
Oh……
Does the second son deserve it?
No!
He doesn't deserve it!
Lu Jiming glanced at his father, who was staring at the words without saying a word, so he helped explain, "Didn't my dad have some good stuff? Ginger... cough... my future aunt needs it when she draws talismans, so my uncle asked me to send over my dad's secret stash... so they sent over a thank-you gift, didn't they?"
"What good things could your father possibly have?" Old Madam Lu said sourly. "Are the good things he has as good as mine? Even his valuable inkstone, is it worth this piece of calligraphy?"
Oh, there's not just one, there are three!!!
Her future daughter-in-law is really at a disadvantage!
None of them spoke; the calligraphy was indeed valuable and extremely rare.
It's already quite difficult to get even one of those paintings.
As a result, I received three paintings at once...
It instantly gave me the feeling of a poor, pitiful person suddenly becoming rich overnight.
"However..." Old Madam Lu seemed to remember something else, and she snorted, "This was sent by the sixth son to Xiaoming to give to my future daughter-in-law, so how can the second son be the one being thanked? Therefore..."
The old lady of the Lu family smiled and said without any hesitation, "I will not accept these calligraphy pieces. As for the thank-you gift, let the sixth son give it to the second son later."
Everyone: "???"
The characters were written so well, and it was even scripture written on it, with a good meaning. They wanted it too.
"Mom... um..." The second son of the Lu family moved his lips and said somewhat dejectedly, "There are three paintings. You could at least leave me one."
"No way!" The old lady of the Lu family refused decisively. "What would I do with you? Just so you could stare at it every day and feel inferior? Your handwriting wasn't very good to begin with, so you shouldn't keep it around and discourage yourself."
Upon hearing this, the second son of the Lu family's eyes lit up; he had come up with a great idea!
then……
He cleared his throat, feigning anger and frustration. "Mom, you're right. I also think my calligraphy is mediocre. I've decided that from now on, I'm going to stop writing and stop appreciating and studying calligraphy... After so many years of hard work and research, I'm still a piece of trash. I might as well give up sooner!"
Ignoring the surprised looks on everyone's faces, the second son of the Lu family said to Lu Jiming, "You come home with me now and take all the things in the house to your aunt!"
After saying that, the second son of the Lu family pulled Lu Jiming away.
Lu Jiming: "???"
Well, he's just a huge victim and a tool.
Back home, Lu Jiming was immediately cornered and interrogated by his father.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on with those calligraphy pieces?" the second son of the Lu family asked seriously. "Yang He's calligraphy is impossible to buy through any channel. How did you manage to get three of them in one go?"
To be honest, the second son of the Lu family didn't quite believe that Jiang Li had found this person.
He was more inclined to believe that Lu Shiyan had helped him find it.
But thinking about it again...
Lao Liu knew that he wasn't particularly fond of this item, and that giving him this kind of return gift was indeed unlike Lao Liu's style.
Although he wasn't particularly passionate about calligraphy, it had been with him for many years, so practicing it occasionally as a hobby was fine.
Other...
Never mind.
Lu Jiming blinked and began to make up a story for his father, "Um... my future aunt is no ordinary person, you know that?"
The second son of the Lu family nodded. "I know."
Because her talisman saved Lu Shiyan's life, he never doubted her abilities.
Even though she was just a little girl.
“She’s so capable, it’s no surprise that the people she knows are extraordinary, from all walks of life.” Lu Jiming’s statement was correct, but the veracity of his next sentence was questionable. “So it’s not surprising that she could know Yang He, or people who know Yang He, and get these few pieces of calligraphy, right?”
The second son of the Lu family was convinced by his son's words.
indeed……
It's normal for someone from the Xuanmen sect, especially someone so powerful, to know people that others can't easily access.
Seeing that his father believed him, Lu Jiming breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a secret he should keep to himself.
Hey……
After all, even my uncle doesn't know!
