Chapter 315 Broken calligraphy and painting?
Leng Shaoting was happy to hear Gu Ning say this, and he didn't mind at all that Gu Ning took his things for himself: "Okay, then I will accept it on behalf of Grandpa."
Then, the two returned to the villa.
Soon, the news that someone had discovered an imperial green jadeite in the gambling stone street spread, and everyone was envious and jealous.
After returning to the villa, it was time to eat, and Leng Shaoting cooked it himself.
Because Gu Ning had her period, Leng Shaoting wouldn't let him touch her at all. Even if Gu Ning didn't have her period, Leng Shaoting wouldn't ask her to do it. He doted on her that much.
Leng Shaoting's cooking skills are really good. Gu Ning originally thought that her cooking skills were good, but after eating the dishes cooked by Leng Shaoting, she realized that Leng Shaoting's dishes were even better than hers.
While they were having dinner, Leng Shaoting's cell phone rang. It was Xu Jingchen who called. Xu Jingchen said that there would be an auction at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and asked if they wanted to join in the fun.
When Gu Ning heard this, she was immediately delighted and asked Leng Shaoting to agree. She also asked Leng Shaoting to ask Xu Jingchen if he could get a spot as she had something she wanted to auction.
Of course, Gu Ning wasn't auctioning the items for money, he was just trying to join in the fun.
"Girl, you also have antiques! What are they?" Xu Jingchen asked curiously when he heard it.
Gu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Official Kiln Brush Washer"
Because Gu Ning just wanted to join in the fun and didn't want to auction anything too valuable.
"Okay, I'll go and ask for a spot." Xu Jingchen agreed readily. Since he didn't know much about antiques, he didn't ask much about the origin and authenticity of the official kiln brush washer.
Not to mention that Xu Jingchen believed that Gu Ning would not put fake items up for auction. Even if he did, it would still need to be appraised by the auction house's appraiser before it could be put up for auction.
Of course, not every appraiser can be accurate, so occasionally there are counterfeits, because some counterfeits are so advanced that many experts cannot tell them apart. However, before the auction, the buyer will be asked to personally verify the item. If the buyer makes a mistake, it is their own business. The auction house does not need to bear any responsibility, and its reputation will not be damaged because this is the industry practice.
Just a few minutes after hanging up the phone with Xu Jingchen, Leng Shaoting's phone rang again. This time it was Old Man Leng calling, also about the auction.
Mr. Leng is also an antique lover, so he naturally wants to go to the auction. So he asked Leng Shaoting if he had time tomorrow to accompany him to take a look. He heard that there was a painting by Xu Beihong, which he wanted.
Leng Shaoting directly said that he didn't have time, because he had to go with Gu Ning, so he couldn't accompany Grandpa Leng.
Of course, Leng Shaoting did not tell the reason, otherwise, Old Master Leng would definitely come running over, and it would be bad if Gu Ning was scared.
In order to prevent the old man from going, Leng Shaoting said, "If you want that painting, I'll have someone take a picture of it for you tomorrow. There are too many people in that kind of place, and it's smoky and chaotic, so don't bother going there."
"Then I have to go there in person to find out whether it's true or not! If it's fake, wouldn't it be a waste to take a picture of it?" said Mr. Leng.
"Then I'll give you a calligraphy or painting that's better than Xu Beihong's, and you don't have to go." Leng Shaoting said. Anyway, you just don't want Old Man Leng to go.
"So do you want Xu Beihong's calligraphy and painting, or Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy of "The Goddess of the Luo River"? " Leng Shaoting asked.
"What?" Mr. Leng was shocked, then excited, and asked uncertainly: "Do you have Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy "The Goddess of Luo River"?"
"Yes," Leng Shaoting replied.
After getting the confirmation, Mr. Leng became even more excited and couldn't wait to get it: "Give it to me, give it to me quickly, give it to me quickly."
"I'll give it to you later." Since Leng Shaoting mentioned Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy "The Goddess of Luo River", it was natural that he would give it to him today. If it wasn't to stop him from going to the auction, he wouldn't have mentioned Zhao Mengfu's "The Goddess of Luo River" now, because it would mean being separated from Gu Ning for several hours.
Leng Shaoting knew his grandfather's temper. If he didn't get the calligraphy and painting, he wouldn't be able to sleep. He was old, and Leng Shaoting didn't want him to toss and turn.
"How late is too late! No, you have to deliver it to me quickly." Old Master Leng couldn't wait any longer and wished he had the painting "Goddess of Luo River" in his hands right now.
"I'm eating now. I'll bring it to you when I'm done."
"Okay, eat quickly, hurry up." Old Man Leng urged.
After Leng Shaoting hung up the phone, he told Gu Ning. Gu Ning had already heard it on the phone and didn't mind.
After dinner, Leng Shaoting took the calligraphy and paintings and the imperial green jadeite back to the Leng family’s old house.
After Leng Shaoting left, Gu Ning remembered to send a text message to Lu Zhan and Duan Lixin, telling them the news that the office building had been completed and the company had been registered, so that they could rest assured.
When they received Gu Ning's text message, Lu Zhan and Duan Lixin felt much more at ease. From now on, they would be members of Fenghua Entertainment.
Of course, they also need to sign a contract, because only after signing the contract will they become formal employees.
In the old house of the Leng family, ever since he hung up the phone with Leng Shaoting, Old Man Leng has been restless and has been asking the housekeeper to go outside the gate to see if Leng Shaoting has returned.
It was already past seven o'clock at this time. At the Leng family, Old Master Leng and the second wife Leng Yuanqian, Jiang Shuyuan, Leng Shaojia, and the third wife Leng Yuanzhen, Yu Ying, and Leng Shaoxun were all there. Leng Shaoming and Leng Shaoxi were not there.
Knowing that the reason why Mr. Leng was restless was because Leng Shaoting was coming back, the third room was fine, but the second room's faces were not very happy.
Although this is also Leng Shaoting's home, they just feel that Leng Shaoting is just an unwelcome outsider.
"Grandpa, didn't Brother Shaoting just come back yesterday? Why are you so excited?" Leng Shaoxun asked curiously.
Not only Leng Shaoxun was curious, in fact everyone was curious. They had never seen Old Master Leng so excited about Leng Shaoting's return. He was so excited that he couldn't sit still.
"Because your brother Shaoting brought me Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy of "The Goddess of the Luo River", which is a very valuable collection!" Old Master Leng said happily, with a hint of showing off and praise, saying that Leng Shaoting was very capable, which made the eldest wife even more uncomfortable.
However, they had to admit that Leng Shaoting was indeed capable and could even get Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy "The Goddess of the Luo River".
Everyone knows that Mr. Leng likes antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and everyone wants to buy them to please him, but antiques, calligraphy and paintings are very rare nowadays, and many times you may not be able to buy them even if you have money.
"Hmph! What's so great about it! Isn't it just a crappy painting?" Leng Shaojia said with disdain. It's not that she really thought it was a crappy painting, she just didn't like it.
"Shaojia, shut up." Leng Yuanqian immediately scolded. Knowing that the old man liked antiques, calligraphy and paintings, she still said this. Isn't this trying to displease the old man?
