There were even several boxes of gold leaves.
Wu Weian walked over involuntarily and subconsciously scooped up a handful, feeling the wonderful touch of the golden leaves passing through his fingers.
He subconsciously looked up and looked forward.
Ji Yunxi had her back to him.
For some unknown reason, Wu Weian subconsciously grabbed a handful and was about to put it in his pocket.
But he never expected that his wife seemed to have eyes behind his back and said coldly, "Put it down."
Wu Weian paused for a moment and could only put his hand back: "Oh."
Chapter 44: Beware of thieves day and night, but it is difficult to prevent them from being thieves in your own home
Seeing this, Baofu, who was following Ji Yunxi, walked up to Wu Weian without saying a word and looked at him fiercely.
Wu Weian picked up the fine porcelain and played with it, while Baofu stared at it intently.
Wu Weian grabbed a handful of pearls from the box filled with large and small night pearls, and Baofu stared at them intently.
Wu Weian squatted in front of a box filled with agate and precious bracelets, unable to let go of them, while Baofu looked down at him intently.
Wu Weian sighed and felt that this world was really boring.
He stood up and walked towards Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi stood in front of a shelf filled with calligraphy and paintings, holding a scroll of painting in her hand, frowning slightly as if she was identifying something.
Wu Wei'an stopped beside her and took a look, then asked casually, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yunxi looked at the upper right corner of the painting, where a few lines of words were written and the painter's seal was stamped at the end.
The handwriting of these painters was illegible, and the characters on the seals were unrecognizable. Ji Yunxi looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out who the painting belonged to.
She pursed her lips, her expression growing colder, and she glanced at him subconsciously.
She thought he might know, but asking him directly was impossible.
Ji Yunxi thought for a moment and said calmly, "What do you think of this painting?"
This is a painting of bamboo and rocks. The bamboo seems to be freehand, but every detail is exquisite, which shows the superb painting skills and excellent artistic conception.
Throughout history, there have been countless people who have painted bamboo, but the one who is most respected and loved is Mr. Wen'an from the previous dynasty.
Mr. Wen'an's paintings are priceless.
But his wife has much more than a thousand gold coins. He still doesn't know how much she is worth, but it's definitely more than a thousand gold coins.
So Wu Weian was not surprised at all when the painting fell into her hands.
He praised: "Mr. Wen'an's bamboo and rock paintings are naturally excellent."
Ji Yunxi's brows relaxed and she nodded, "I think it's great, too."
Wu Wei'an occasionally paints in his spare time. Deep down, he really enjoys collecting calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, but they are so valuable that he lacks the means to do so.
He can't afford such a costly hobby.
but--
Wu Weian glanced at Ji Yunxi's expression and felt that she was somewhat happy at the moment.
Moreover, she has been admiring this painting for some time. Could it be that she also likes Mr. Wen An's painting of bamboo and rocks?
Wu Weian's lips curled slightly: "Speaking of which, have you seen the painting of mountains that I hung in the room?"
Ji Yunxi nodded.
Wu Wei'an put his hands behind his back and looked at the bamboo and rock painting. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. "When I was decorating the wedding room earlier, I felt that there was a missing painting there. But I didn't find a suitable one, so I just painted one and hung it up. But now, I think this bamboo and rock painting is more suitable."
Ji Yunxi put the painting away and returned it to its original place: "This painting will be auctioned at Kaitai Manor in five days. You can come and bid."
Wu Wei'an: “???”
After a pause, Ji Yunxi glanced at him and added, "Of course, you have to have money first."
Wu Weian: “…”
Wu Weian advised: "Yunniang, Mr. Wen'an's paintings are hard to come by. Are you really not going to take them home and hang them up?" After all, she also lived in that room.
Ji Yunxi shook her head: "I think your painting of mountains is very good."
Wu Wei'an was overwhelmed with emotions: "Thank you very much."
Ji Yunxi instructed the waiter beside her, "Send someone to the Ji Mansion and tell my brother that Kaitai Manor has Mr. Wen'an's bamboo and rock paintings. If he wants them, remember to come back in five days to bid."
The guy was not surprised and responded quickly.
Wu Weian was stunned for a moment: "You want Big Brother to take the photo?"
"Yeah." Ji Yunxi responded, "My eldest brother loves collecting calligraphy and paintings. He has wanted to ask about Mr. An's paintings for a long time. A few days ago, he asked me to see if Kaitai Manor had any."
Wu Wei'an didn't understand: "Why don't you just send it directly?"
"Brothers should settle accounts clearly." Ji Yunxi glanced at his hand hanging by his side with a meaningful look. "Also, the items to be auctioned in Kaitai Manor cannot be moved casually. This is the rule."
Noticing her gaze, Wu Weian subconsciously turned sideways: "Oh, that's good."
Ji Yunxi stretched out her hand. Her fingers were slender and her nails were perfectly trimmed, neither too long nor too short, and they were a light green color that had just been dyed.
Her expression was neither sad nor happy, and she said in a firm tone, "Bring it out."
Wu Weian looked up at the sky and placed the night pearl that had been hidden between the fingertips of his left hand for a while into her palm.
Their fingertips touched lightly, and then they moved away.
The night pearl was very small, but extremely lustrous, making it very suitable for making a woman's hairpin.
Ji Yunxi handed it to Baofu, who took it, glared at Wu Weian fiercely, and put the night pearl back.
She had clearly been watching closely to prevent him from taking it again, but why did he still take it? Even if you guard against it day and night, you can never prevent a thief from stealing it from your own family!
The two walked towards the door.
Wu Wei'an sighed, "You're a bit too perceptive when it comes to money."
Ji Yunxi reached out and touched her hair, said nothing, and just smiled slightly.
"Actually, it's nothing to give you a night-shining pearl." Ji Yunxi got into the carriage. "I'm quite happy that the Feng family is gone."
Wu Weian paused, then followed her into the carriage with a normal expression. He sat down next to her, sitting upright, and raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Ji Yunxi rarely explained, "But the things in the warehouse cannot be moved at will. Every item, every piece of gold leaf is registered and traceable. If you can take them at will, it will easily cause chaos."
