Chapter 911: Fellows 1

The bundles contained several unmounted silk paintings, as well as some that had been framed and then taken down. Some were fine brushwork and some were ink and wash. There were seven paintings in total in the two bundles, which were neatly folded and wrapped in fine silk, and then wrapped in oil paper and silk bundles on the outside.

Guan Cheng looked at each picture carefully again and again, then shook his head and said, "I don't remember."

Feng Qingxue took a look and found that they were all authentic works of ancient masters, and they were very famous. Each of them could be regarded as a leading figure in the world of calligraphy and painting. There were very few works that had been passed down to the present day. There was even a flower and bird painting by Song Huizong.

Decades later, any painting sent to an auction could fetch hundreds of millions of dollars.

There was a seal of Guan Kong on a blank space of one of the paintings, which was a mark left after appreciation. Lu Jiang pointed at the seal and said to Guan Cheng, "This was left by your grandfather. We cannot be sure whether it is from your Guan family. Ask your aunt to remember all these paintings in her mind and ask Aunt Xu when she has a chance someday."

Aunt Xu is the great aunt of the Guan family. She has some impression of the famous paintings that the Guan family collected before she got married.

Guan Cheng hummed, "Only my aunt would know."

Guan Cheng looked at them and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know where they came from.

She felt that some of these things should be related to the home. It was possible that all of them were related, but it was also possible that none of them were. The biggest possibility was what she had said before, that someone in charge of the house search took advantage of the situation and enriched himself, and kept the good things searched from other people's homes for himself, hiding them in the secret compartment of his own bunk bed. As a result, his home was searched more than ten years later.

The other small wooden box was filled with gold, diamonds, jade and emeralds, all of which were relatively old jewellery. They were wrapped in soft cotton cloth to prevent them from colliding with each other, and were of considerable value.

The Lu family took him and his brother in, raised them, and educated them. It was a great favor to them. How could they ask for something that Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue risked their lives to get from the scrap collection station? Even if it was once the Guan family's thing, he was not qualified to accept it.

Feng Qingxue rewrapped the silk painting and closed the wooden box. "If we can find their real owner, we will return them to them. If we can't find them, these things will be given to you and A Yu in the future as the capital for you to revive the Guan family."

After listening to Feng Qingxue's explanation, Guan Cheng waved his hands hastily, "No, no, aunt, A Yu and I can't afford it."

"What is there to be ashamed of? Aren't you and A Yu our children? Although Xi Bao and Fu Bao are our biological children, there is no difference between you and them. The only difference is that you are older now and we don't have to worry about you in any way. When you get married and start your own family, your uncle and I will take care of you. In addition to you, there are also Tian Jun and Tian Zhi. Guan's things are Guan's things. The calligraphy and seals complement the Guan family. There is no reason for us to keep them for ourselves."

Feng Qingxue finished speaking in one breath and patted the table, "It's settled. Your uncle and I are good at hiding things. We'll keep them for you first. When the storm is over, I'll give them to you. After all, our house is still a little bit in danger of attracting attention."

Guan Cheng opened his mouth, but Lu Jiang interrupted him and said, "Just listen to your aunt!"

Although the things in front of them are valuable, and the silk paintings are top-notch, one-of-a-kind masterpieces, they are not part of the Lu family, and they have no intention of claiming them as their own. Returning the items to their original owners is the best solution.

Guan Cheng just wanted to accept the seal, but he knew that it was useless to say more, so he stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue.
