Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

As for Jiang Hua's calligraphy and painting skills, Lin Ran didn't know.

If you have a chance today, it would be nice to see it.

But with so many people coming to ask for calligraphy, his attainments in the field of calligraphy must be quite high, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people coming to ask for calligraphy.

In this era, there is still a certain market for purely handmade calligraphy and painting.

Especially shops in the antique industry, in order to highlight their own cultural atmosphere, will ask well-known calligraphers and painters in the industry to inscribe.

For example, his flourishing craftsmanship is to invite Zheng Xueming to inscribe. Now that the store is gradually growing, many people have come up with the idea of ​​​​Zheng Xueming's inscription sign.

But Lin Ran still said that he would not sell it for any amount of money.

Just kidding, Zheng Xueming is a well-known calligrapher alive, and his regular script is quite famous in the industry.

It complements his shop perfectly. A hundred years later, this sign alone will be enough to enter the most high-end auction house.

How could he sell it cheaply?

Of course, Lin Ran didn't know about Jiang Hua's calligraphy skills.

At least, he has never seen Jiang Hua show relevant strength.

Guan Yali inserted the key into the courtyard gate.

Lin Ran and Guan Yun were watching from behind. The door was also uniquely made. It had two large doors, an arched doorway, and a unique cornice design.

Judging from the simple color, it obviously has a certain age.

It is this kind of antique flavor that can better tell that this house has some age, and can also see the traces of a wealthy family.

Be stubborn.

The door was pushed open.

Guan Yali pushed open both doors, turned around and said with a smile: "Everyone, come in together."

Zhang Gangyong took the lead in walking in with a familiar look.

Lin Ran and Guan Yun nodded to him and followed him into the courtyard.

After walking into the yard, Lin Ran carefully closed the door.

This move attracted Guan Yali's favor, and she smiled at Lin Ran.

After walking into the courtyard, Lin Ran realized how big it was.

It is a house with a large depth and layout, and it is not a common courtyard house in the capital, nor is it a small Western-style building with only one house.

There are houses on three sides, all crowded into a courtyard.

Fortunately, the whole yard is not too small and looks well-proportioned.

The layout of the courtyard is extremely exquisite.

A stream of water that came from nowhere was gurgling in the courtyard.

There is a pond in the yard, and several koi carp swim around in the pond, which is very relaxing and relaxing.

Next to the pond is a pavilion.

There are stone tables and benches in the pavilion, and there is a small rockery behind it.

There are also various types of trees in the courtyard, and they are pruned in distinct levels.

The whole yard gave Lin Ran a clean and tidy feeling with a sense of life.

Jiang Hua is really a decent person who loves life.

Beside the stream, Lin Ran saw the Arhat Elephant he sold to Jiang Hua.

Under the eaves, with eyes closed, it looks extremely pure.

"Oh, Brother Jiang, you really know how to live." Lin Ran admired this kind of fastidious person who loved life from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Hua is not only an antique dealer, but the items in his home are also of higher quality than the last.

Living in such an environment, it makes no sense to lower one's taste.

From the structure of the house, Lin Ran deduced that Jiang Hua's ancestors might have been important officials in the imperial court, or at least top wealthy businessmen. This was evident from the layout of the courtyard.

Guan Yali did not disturb Lin Ran's enjoyment. Instead, Zhang Gangyong kept urging from the front: "Lin Ran, don't waste our time."

Guan Yali glared at her.

Guan Yali has a very good temper, and this is the first time she speaks in such a harsh tone.

She whispered to Zhang Gangyong: "Don't make loud noises at my grandpa's house. He hates it when others keep making noise at home."

Lin Ran nodded empathetically.

He finally understood why there was no sound inside. The sound of the gurgling stream made the yard seem extremely quiet.

The few pines and cypresses at the door also have a very obvious effect of reducing noise.

When you enter the courtyard, you feel like you have entered a paradise.

Lin Ran had almost finished looking at the decorations in the courtyard. While admiring Jiang Hua, he also felt that he was really leisurely.

However, considering his age, he can indeed spend more time on life research.

Following Guan Yali, she approached the front house. Compared to the unique design of the courtyard, there was nothing unusual inside the house. No matter how you looked at it, it was just an ordinary living room.

The only thing that is different is that the surrounding walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings.

Lin Ran was very interested in calligraphy and painting, so he stepped forward to take a look, and found that these were not authentic works by ancient calligraphers and painters.

And their signatures are unified as [Jiang Zuiweng].

Jiang Zuiweng...

Lin Ran not only found it a bit funny.

What I want is not what I portray.

However, Lin Ran really didn't know what Jiang Hua looked like when he was drunk.

Judging from his character, he should rarely show his drunken side in front of outsiders, at least Lin Ran has never seen him.

Even when he drank with Chen Qi at a charity party, he never blushed.

"Just wait here." Guan Yali asked the three of them to sit down in the living room.

After seeing them all seated, he slowly walked towards the back room, probably to find Jiang Hua.

Lin Ran was thinking about how to greet Jiang Hua later.

Zhang Gangyong glanced at Lin Ran with hostility: "Lin Ran, why did you come to see Teacher Jiang? Are you really here to ask for a letter?"

Lin Ran pursed his lips and smiled: "You can find him, but can't I?"

Zhang Gangyong was startled. In high school, Lin Ran was a submissive and weak boy in his eyes, but now he became tougher in his speech.

He paused and asked, "Just tell me if you are here to ask for a letter."

Lin Ran smiled and shook his head: "It's really not."

"Then what are you doing?"

Lin Ran didn't bother to explain to him and said, "To tell you the truth, it was Brother Jiang who came to me."

"Brother Jiang?" Hearing Lin Ran call Jiang Hua this way, Zhang Gangyong was furious and laughed out loud: "Do you know how old Mr. Jiang is this year? You still call him Brother Jiang?"

He felt that Lin Ran was too ignorant.

There are many people who want to be brothers with Jiang Hua, but currently they only know that Zheng Xueming from Tianlexing is relatively close to him.

Lin Ran was just a poor boy. He probably accompanied the young master next to him to ask for calligraphy and painting and earn some living expenses.

Thinking of this, Zhang Gangyong burst out laughing.

"Lin Ran, I understand. You want to ask for Teacher Jiang's calligraphy and sell it for money, right? I advise you not to do such a stupid thing." Zhang Gangyong took out a ten-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to Lin Ran. Of course.

Lin Ran was not willing to answer, but looked at Zhang Gangyong with a half-smile: "What are you doing?"

"Oh, to be honest, I bullied you in high school, and I feel a little sorry. I only have 10 yuan now, so I will help you buy a new pair of shoes." Zhang Gangyong said, "Don't waste Teacher Jiang's time, or Leave now before he comes out."

As he said this, he wanted to put the money into Lin Ran's pocket.

But Guan Yun opened his hand.

"Take this stinky money of yours quickly, stop joking!" Guan Yun's expression became solemn.

It's okay to laugh at him for a moment or two, but the patron who has been rude to him simply doesn't take Guan Yun seriously.
