Chapter 190 1 painting
Li Xiuyuan felt that the box did not contain what Yi Zhonghai was looking for. After all, these things would not be sold for much money at this time. Only the large and small goldfish were valuable. But it was not enough to make Yi Zhonghai crazy enough to want to kill the old lady.
He felt that there must be something else. After all, Yi Zhonghai should have a lot of savings, and these things would not be enough to make him kill someone.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the watch. It was already eleven o'clock at night. But if he couldn't find it, he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight. So he decided to look for it again.
This time Li Xiuyuan started looking in the wall, but couldn't find it. Could it be up there?
So he began to check every rafter, beam and tile on the roof one by one, and finally he found a box on a beam.
The box was placed in a hollowed-out beam. Fortunately, the beam was thick enough and only one-third of its thickness was hollowed out, otherwise the house would have collapsed long ago.
Li Xiuyuan took out the box and saw that this box was longer than the other one, about one meter long and about twenty centimeters wide. It was made of golden nanmu wood and had a mortise and tenon structure.
When he opened it, he found a scroll painting inside. Li Xiuyuan picked it up and felt as if the paper could be crushed with a little force.
He was so frightened that he lessened his strength and slowly opened it, and saw that it was filled with brightly colored portraits of people. The colors were bright and lifelike, with colorful clothes fluttering in the wind, and there were many seals printed on it.
As the scroll slowly unfolds, the characters on it become vivid and lifelike, with distinct layers of color and realistic expressions.
There were many inscriptions and signatures on it. When Li Xiuyuan saw the five large characters "Heavenly King Delivering a Child" written in Song Huizong's Slender Gold script, he knew that the painting was worth a lot of money.
When I saw the final signature was Wu Daozi's seal and signature, I confirmed that this was most likely Wu Daozi's authentic work!
Then it is a national treasure, because when Li Xiuyuan was in school, this painting was introduced in the textbook.
But isn't this painting said to be in Xiao Rizi's hands? How could it be here? Could it be that Xiao Rizi's painting is fake? Li Xiuyuan was not sure because he did not know how to identify it, but he really hoped that Xiao Rizi's painting was fake.
Wu Daozi, a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty, was known as the "Saint of Painting". This painting was about seven or eight meters long. The paper was yellowish in color and had many inscriptions and seals by famous people on it. Li Xiuyuan was afraid that it would be damaged, so he quickly rolled it up and put it in a box, and then put it into the space.
Space is still the safest. He does not plan to return it to the old lady. Such a valuable ancient painting should not fall into the hands of someone like Yi Zhonghai.
He felt that this painting should be the treasure that Yi Zhonghai was looking for.
……
The next morning, Qin Jingru came early to serve the deaf old lady. She worked and cooked with her head lowered.
The deaf old lady sighed and stopped making things difficult for Qin Jingru, because it was not her fault. It seemed that she still had to find Sha Zhu.
"Jingru, have you gone to see Shazhu at work? Ask him to come to my place."
Qin Jingru put down the work in her hands and went out. As soon as she reached the west moon gate, she met Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai smiled gently: "Jingru, where are you going?"
Qin Jingru quickly lowered her head and replied, "The old lady wants to find Sha Zhu and asked me to go and call him."
Yi Zhonghai's face darkened when he heard this. "You don't have to go. Go back to your sister's house for dinner first. I bought some soybean milk for the old lady this morning. She's been craving it for a long time."
Qin Jingru didn't dare to refuse, so she quickly agreed and left in a hurry. She really couldn't stand Yi Zhonghai's look, which seemed to strip her naked with his eyes.
The deaf old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai coming in, and the viciousness in his eyes scared the old lady.
"What are you doing here?" After all, she had lived for more than eighty years and she still had some composure. She asked in a calm voice.
Yi Zhonghai sneered, you are playing dumb with me, right? "Old lady, Zhuzi has gone to work, what do you want to see him about? Tell me, I will do it for you."
The deaf old lady said, "I didn't have anything to do with him, I just wanted to eat the food he cooked, so I asked him to bring me something delicious when he came back in the evening."
"Oh, so the old lady is greedy. Then should I serve you some wine? Do you think it's better to toast? Or some other wine?"
"What did you say? I can't hear you..."
Yi Zhonghai laughed when he saw the old lady use this trick. "Haha... the old lady can't hear, then I will tell you a story. The protagonist of the story is the eldest daughter of the Long family. She married into a family of scholars and nobles at that time... Later, her husband's family got into trouble. In order to protect the heirloom of her husband's family from falling into the hands of the devils and outsiders, she lived in this compound under an assumed name..."
