Professor Chen's eyes fell on the seal at the bottom of the painting, and his tone became a little unstable: "This is a painting by Master Zhang Baiqi!"
Zhang Baiqi?
Although not many people know about painting, this name is not unfamiliar to the Beijing-North circle, because those who have studied history know that during the Anti-Japanese War, this master of traditional Chinese painting once auctioned all his paintings abroad and raised a large amount of funds to support the country...
If the Shen family is the descendant of a founding general, then the contribution of Master Zhang Baiqi is no less than that of any general!
땤 Xie Yunshu's grandmother also has the surname Zhang...
Chen Jingxue couldn't help but stand up and said, "Brother, is this really Mr. Zhang Baiqi's painting?"
The Zhang family has been painting for generations. One of his paintings was very valuable in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but it was later auctioned abroad and almost extinct in China. The value of this painting is immeasurable.
Everyone knew that the old man of the Shen family gave Shen Subai a quadrangle courtyard, so many people secretly listened to what the bride's dowry was.
But now, the value of this painting has exceeded that of a courtyard house.
After all, we are not yet in the 1990s when housing prices soared. Siheyuans can be seen everywhere in northern Beijing, but Mr. Zhang Baiqi's paintings are extremely rare.
Professor Zhang was very sure: "I can't be wrong."
He is a professor of ink painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and his words represent authority.
After saying this, Professor Zhang's expression was filled with uncontrollable excitement. He looked at Xie Yunshu and said, "Can I copy one of your paintings when I have time? I want my students to see it, too."
He didn't even have the nerve to mention inviting students to visit.
It's just that he was embarrassed, but Ji Siyuan was. He jumped up and said, "Yun Shu, please let my second brother see it. I beg you! This painting can't be bought even if you have money!"
He is the son of the Ji family. If he says it cannot be bought, then it really cannot be bought.
So this painting?
Even though before, he still treated Xie Yunshu and her brother differently because they were good at studying, but now he really felt that this bride was out of his reach!
This kid Shen Subai is really taking advantage of the world!
Some even began to listen quietly: "Does Xie Yunshu have only one brother? Does she have a sister?"
"Sister is fine too. Maybe she's not married yet. Besides, if she gets married, she might get divorced!"
"Yes, that makes sense! Isn't that how Shen Subai got the bargain?"
"Her brother seems to be nineteen this year. He is not young anymore and can have a boyfriend."
"The Song family girl is really observant. She is indeed a Beijing University student. No wonder she went to Haicheng and became friends with Xie Yunshu!"
"Everyone knows how to make friends, but you don't?"
…
There were many people who regretted their decision. They just secretly discussed the shortcomings of Xie Yunshu's family. They hoped that no one would hear them.
My face hurts so much! Take a look at all your assets. Is one of your paintings worth as much as it?
Xie Yunshu put the painting away again and looked at Grandma Zhang with red eyes: "Grandma..."
Such a girl, Grandma Zhang gave her such a gift, she couldn't say no, but it was too expensive!
Granny Zhang smiled and said in a neither loud nor soft voice: "It's just one painting, it's nothing, I have a few more."
How many more?!
This old lady dressed inconspicuously is a hidden tycoon!
Old Master Shen smiled bitterly: “Shuxian, you are still like this, are you still afraid that Brother Shen can’t protect his granddaughter-in-law?”
Grandma Zhang gave him a calm look and said, "You protect yours, I protect mine, what's the problem?"
Professor Li is obviously so old, but he still does not forget to sow discord: "Shuxian, the Shen family is a den of bandits. You should marry into a family of scholars. In fact, my grandson..."
Old Master Shen almost hit him on the head with his cane: "Old man, you are talking nonsense! Xie Yunshu is my granddaughter-in-law, and we are getting married today!"
Just because you’re married doesn’t mean you can’t get divorced!
Professor Li was so happy that he reluctantly gave him some face: "Mingcheng is my student. Shuxian and I both belong to our mother's family. You and we are not a couple."
Song Zhangran chuckled: "What a coincidence, Yun Shu is my student, and my granddaughter is a good friend of hers."
Old Master Shen's face was a little dark, and he said the final word: "Yun Shu will go back with my grandson tonight to give birth to a baby, you are nothing!"
Professor Li and Song Zhangran grind...
Grandma Zhang smiled softly. She nudged Xie Yunshu with her hand and said, "Go and do your work over there. Grandma doesn't need you to worry about her."
This is the kind-hearted child she watched grow up, who will surely be happy in the future.
Shen Subai was drunk today. Ji Siyuan didn't find an opportunity during the last engagement, but today he finally found an opportunity: "Xiaobai, Yunshu wants to call me second brother. Although you are older than me, we should talk about our own things..."
Shen Subai was in a particularly good mood, and even looked at Ji Siyuan in a more favorable light: "Haicheng will have another banquet, I'm really sorry to ask you to bring red wine twice."
Ji Siyuan snorted coldly: "Oh, your brother-in-law is not short of money."
"Very good." Shen Subai smiled and nodded: "When your nephew is born, Hongbo can be a little bigger."
Tian Hao chuckled: "I'm not short of money anyway!"
Ji Siyuan brought the wine to Shen Subai with a dark face: “Stop talking nonsense, do you want to drink it?”
Today, Ji Sian also put himself in the right position and stood on the side of his brother-in-law: "Captain Shen, how can the groom not be drunk?"
Sinking team?
Shen Subai paused for a moment, then smiled slowly: “Of course I have to drink it.”
On this day, Shen Subai was still drunk...
When returning to the courtyard, Tian Hao helped him in, then threw him down and ran: "Sister-in-law, Brother Shen is in your hands!"
Xie Yunshu looked at Chen Subai, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and squatted down to pinch his face unhappily: "Chen Subai, why did you drink so much?"
Shen Subai's dark and narrow eyes were fixed on her face, and after a while he pursed his lips: "Wife..."
"You're not drunk?" Xie Yunshu was relieved to see that he seemed quite sober. "Go take a shower first. You reek of alcohol."
But Shen Subai held her tightly, and pulled her into his arms with a little force, rubbing his short hair against her neck: "Wife..."
Xie Yunshu made his hair itchy and pushed it out: "Chen Subai, you get up first!"
"Wife..." Shen Subai hugged her tighter: "She's mine."
Xie Yunshu frowned: "Chen Subai, how much wine did you drink? Are you really drunk? Get up quickly, I'll go get you some honey water."
"don't want."
Although he was drunk, he was surprisingly strong. He rubbed the woman in his arms and pulled her close to him, "My wife, no one can snatch her from me."
What are you grabbing?
Xie Yunshu was both angry and amused: "You are not a robber, what do you want to rob from me?"
