Chapter 224 Family Heirloom and Appraisal Painting
However, he stroked his chin and thought for a while before happily saying, "I'll call the curator of the Palace Museum, and we'll know the authenticity of this painting in a while, haha."

After speaking, he picked up the old-fashioned office phone on the table.

Lin Mo and the others had no choice but to sit on the chairs next to them.

On the other side, after trying on all the clothes she just bought for her grandma, Huang Ziyan carefully dug out her gift box from the pile of shopping bags.

She took the gift to her grandma nervously, Lin Mo's grandma saw her anxious appearance, took her gift with a smile and put it aside: "Yanyan, you don't have to worry that we won't like you The gift you gave, your grandfather has that temperament, in fact, no matter what you give us, we will be very happy."

"But... the gift I bought... is a bit expensive. I'm afraid that Grandpa Tu... he will scold me." Huang Ziyan said hesitantly.

Lin Mo's grandma opened the gift box, picked up the bracelet inside and put it on her hand, "The important thing is your heart, is it not important whether it is expensive or not? You don't have to worry about your gift, I will accept it, very nice."

After she finished speaking, she stood up again, took out a box from her dressing table and opened it, and there was a bright red jadeite bracelet inside. Huang Ziyan knew that this bracelet was also of great value when she looked at the flawless appearance.

Lin Mo's grandma smiled and picked up Huang Ziyan's little hand, put the bracelet on her and said quietly: "This is Lin Mo's grandma's previous dowry, she passed this bracelet to me, now I put it on pass it to you."

"Shouldn't this heirloom bracelet be passed on to Lin Mo's mother?" Heirloom bracelets are usually passed on from generation to generation, and they are passed on after the new daughter-in-law passes through the family, so now Huang Ziyan asked.

The origin of family heirlooms existed in ancient times. In the past, the older generations of rich and noble families worried that their offspring would lose their wealth if they failed to live up to their expectations. It is when future generations have to sell heirlooms to maintain the continuation of the family.

In modern times, it is actually similar to buying an insurance policy after marriage.

Grandma Liang Jingwen laughed when she mentioned Lin Mo's mother, and said with a happy smile: "I have already given this bracelet to Lin Mo's mother, but she was worried that she could not help but pawn it, so she gave it to her again. It’s returned to me, so now I’m passing it on to you, do you understand the meaning of this, girl?”

"Hmm!" Huang Ziyan was already blushing at this moment, lowered her head and fiddled with the bracelet she just put on, humming two words in a low voice.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao hugged his grandma and acted like a baby, "Grandma, do you have anything else to pass on to my precious granddaughter!"

"This family heirloom is all given by my husband's family. Is there any reason for it to be given by my mother's family? When you are going to marry, your mother will prepare the dowry for you. It's not my old lady's turn!"

Lin Xiaoxiao wrinkled her little nose and pouted her mouth, "Grandma is partial to patriarchy, hum!"

At this time, a guest came to the door. A gray-haired old man in his 60s brought a few young men in formal clothes into the courtyard and shouted, "Mr. Lin, are you there?"

Lin Mo and the others in the study heard the voice, and the old man signaled to Lin Mo and Lin Xiaowen: "You two juniors, go and welcome old man Li in."

Lin Mo and Lin Xiaowen stood up and nodded yes.

Lin Mo and the others greeted the guests when they came out and said, "Mr. Li welcomes you to our house as guests. My grandfather is in the study, please follow me."

After speaking, they all stretched out their hands to signal.

"The two of you are the grandsons of Mr. Lin! You are really a good-looking talent." Praise asked them to keep up with Lin Mo and the others.

After Lin Mo finished speaking, he brought the guests into the house.

Curator Li was very acquainted when he entered the room. He laughed and said, "Mr. Lin, where is the authentic work of Su Shi that you said on your old phone? Let me know."

The old man stood up with a smug smile on his face, "Come on, come here quickly!"

It looks like a child who got a fun toy and is anxious to share it with his friends!

Curator Li and several of his students quickly went to surround him. The old man pointed to the scroll on the table, "This is the one for you to take a look at."

Curator Li and his students stepped forward quickly, and they couldn't take their eyes off the painting once they saw it. Lao Tzu Li stretched out his hand directly, "I'll get a glove for the old man, hurry up."

A young man in his 30s and [-]s beside him immediately took out a pair of new rubber gloves from his briefcase and handed them to him.

Curator Li put on his gloves and carefully took the magnifying glass on the table to study it carefully.

Everyone in the room raised their hearts and did not dare to breathe too loudly. They all knew what Su Shi's authentic work was, and it was a cultural relic handed down from generation to generation as a national treasure.

Considering that Su Shi was originally a master in the literary world of the Song Dynasty, his calligraphy and painting scrolls have been handed down. There are only two authentic works of his in the Palace Museum, which is even more precious.

After watching it for a while, curator Li said happily, "That's right...that's right...this paper material, this word...the handwriting is wrong!"

He was puzzled and pondered. He looked left and right and wanted to testify, so he looked at the students next to him and said in a deep voice: "You guys also come over and have a look, think about it in the literature. Is there any record of such a painting?"

These few of his students nodded and took out the tools from their briefcases, and started to study together.

After a while they discussed it, and some insisted that it was not the authentic work of Su Shi, because it was too different from the previous two works.

Some claim that it is the authentic work of Su Shi. The material and age of the paper are the same as those in the Forbidden City.

However, they have no solid basis.

Seeing them like this, curator Li looked at the old man again and said respectfully: "Dare to ask Mr. Lin about the origin of your painting?"

The origin of cultural relics is also an important clue, and he will naturally not let it go.

"This is a gift from my eldest grandson, Lin Mo, bought from Panjiayuan." The old man pointed at Lin Mo and said with a smile.

After the old man said this, Director Li looked at Lin Mo again and smiled, "Then what is the basis for you to buy this painting, Xiao Mo? Can you tell me?"

"I have seen a few words of this painting in the unofficial history of the library." Lin Mo took the words of the old man and Director Li.

"What's the name of that unofficial history? What does it say in it?" Curator Li asked eagerly again.

Lin Mo looked at the roof and thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't remember the name of this unofficial history, but I remember what it said in it. It said that Su Shi, one of the eight great masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, did something in his later years when he was frustrated in officialdom. The title of the sub-painting is "Picture of Dead Wood and Strange Rocks."

"Because Su Shi experienced frustration in the officialdom, relegation and exile, and depression in his later years, there is a hint of desolation in his painting. The theme of his painting is wood, stone and bamboo. The dead wood in the painting represents It means being in adversity and being in a desperate situation.”

"It's right when you say that." Curator Li looked at the scroll on the table again and murmured to himself, "It's really wonderful."
