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

Lin Ran decided to keep what Wu Daozi and Xu Daoning said and wait until he was really short of money before taking action. After all, the current market obviously could not give him a satisfactory price.

As for the other paintings, I sold them for cash first, just in time to solve the urgent needs of my family!

The most important thing is that Fang Dahai will definitely think more highly of his own strength and identity if he brings out so many treasures this time. It will be much easier to take advantage of the opportunity by taking a boat!

Lin Ran looked at the paintings in front of him and became more and more selfless with excitement.I completely forgot about the fear of being in the dark, and all I could think about was how to draw these paintings.

The economic foundation determines the superstructure. Generally, the owner of such a wealthy family has some leisurely interests. It seems that the owner of this house is definitely a painting enthusiast!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to collect so many fine paintings. You must know that these paintings are valuable no matter what time they are, especially the "Zhong Kui's Travel Picture" by Wu Daozi.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, Wu Daozi's paintings were hard to come by, let alone thousands of years later.

Lin Ran carefully took down the paintings and prepared to take them out. Because there was only a shaky little ladder and he was afraid of damaging the pile of rare treasures, Lin Ran could only carry them out one by one. After all, these are priceless. Naturally, I don't dare to be careless in the ancient paintings.

It just so happens that I can appreciate the remaining masterpieces up close!

The first is a pair of orchids from the Yuan Dynasty, with elegant colors, fresh and refined colors, harmonious composition and far-reaching artistic conception.At first glance, it looks like a typical literati style.

Ancient literati always liked to express their aspirations through objects, which was an implicit way of expression. This also led to many objects being given special meanings by literati, such as the lotus. People said that it emerged from the mud but remained unstained, and washed clean ripples. Rather than demonic.Describes the quality of innocence.Take bamboo, for example. People say that it clings to the green hills and never relaxes, and its roots are rooted in the broken rocks.Describe its integrity and unyielding integrity.

And orchids also represent the tranquil and far-reaching quality of ancient literati. "Huainanzi" says that orchids grow in deep valleys, and they are not fragrant unless they are humble. .The boat is in the river and the sea, and it will not float if you don’t ride on it.A gentleman does justice and does not stop because of ignorance.

This painting simply outlines a few blooming orchids, with several colorful butterflies flying on them, and the words "Butterflies Playing with Orchids" are inscribed on the side.

Lin Ran held the painting "Butterflies Playing with Orchids" from the Yuan Dynasty and carefully climbed up the small ladder.The scroll is not as good as gold, stone and jade. Although it cannot be broken, any scratches or penetration of liquid will cause serious damage to the scroll.

After climbing up to the warehouse, Lin Ran gently blew away the dust on the scroll. Then he realized that his body was also covered with dust. He placed the scroll in the corner, closed the warehouse door first, and then went down to the cellar.

The second picture shows the Five Sons of the Song Dynasty winning the championship. Five children with pigtails were playing under an osmanthus tree, which is a metaphor for the Five Sons' success.It seems that this painting was not the artist's own creation, but was painted by someone else.

In the old days, rich families would hire painters to paint pictures for their families, and they would definitely choose some good meanings. In addition to the characters in the paintings, they would often draw some objects to express good meanings.

For example, if you are painting a couple, you may use mandarin ducks as elements, and if you are painting the owner, you may use blue clouds as decoration.In this painting, the five children are dressed differently. They all have the same appearance and stature. It should be a painting for one child. The parents hope that the child will have a good future when he grows up, and he is also a favored child. .

For a moment, Lin Ran couldn't help but feel emotional. He pitied the parents in the world. He would never let his family suffer any injustice again in his life!

These scrolls were over a thousand years old, and the framing was worn out, so Lin Ran needed to be extra careful when putting away the scrolls, otherwise he would damage the scrolls if he was not careful.

The third painting is a painting of a maid from the Yuan Dynasty. The style of this painting of ladies has changed greatly throughout the history. In addition to being affected by people's definition of beauty at that time, it was also affected by the economic and culture of the time.

For example, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when literati were at their peak, people's requirement for beautiful women was to have beautiful bones and fresh air.The Tang Dynasty was the most open dynasty in history, and women rarely became more confident, so they often regarded plumpness and luxury as their beauty.During the Republic of China, people's definition of beauty was slim shoulders, slim waist, and flat chest.

In this painting of a maid from the Yuan Dynasty, the focus is not on the appearance of the maid, but on the state of the maid picking flowers, which is quite similar to Lin Daiyu burying flowers.

It seems that this painter is also a sentimental scholar, and reflects his own mood through the maid in his painting.

In fact, many works of art unconsciously reveal the mood and thoughts of the creator. This is also the most interesting part of the work of art.

With respect for his predecessors, Lin Ran put away the scroll and went out. Because the warehouse was also dusty, Lin Ran spread a sack on the ground and placed the scroll on top of the sack.

Then comes the fourth scroll, which is a meticulous painting from the Song Dynasty, depicting a bustling street. The Song Dynasty was the most prosperous dynasty economically in ancient times, so many large cities had good commercial streets, somewhat similar to today's cities. center.

Such paintings were often made by court painters to record the prosperity of the city and as a way for local officials to report to the court.

Such works are generally of special collection value because they not only carry the culture and painting art of the time, but also reflect the social order and economic level of the time.

After putting away the scroll, Lin Ran climbed up on the shaky little ladder. Lin Ran hugged the scroll tightly to his chest, trying to protect the safety of the scroll even if he fell.

After putting away the scroll and returning to the cellar, Lin Ran looked at the fifth scroll, which was a landscape painting from the Yuan Dynasty.Many people think that the landscape painting style of Chinese painting is very single. In fact, this is not the case. It is because they have seen too many landscape paintings. In fact, the landscape painting of Chinese painting also has subdivided styles such as splash-ink landscape, green landscape, etc.

Lin Ran painted the cellar with the landscapes of the Yuan Dynasty, and the most exciting moment came next, Wu Daozi's "Zhong Kui's Journey" and Xu Daoning's "Autumn River and Cold Forest"!

Lin Ran was even more excited when he saw these two paintings. These are great treasures that can only be found!

As for why it was placed as the finale, Lin Ran naturally had his own reasons.

Lin Ran still carried the paintings out one by one, then wrapped the paintings and put them in a sack on the broken tricycle.

Full of excitement and joy, I locked the warehouse with relief and rode a broken tricycle on the path home.

"Come on, come on, let's meet on nine or eight..."

I don't know why Lin Ran wanted to sing this song whenever he was happy. Maybe it was because this song was too deep in his memory.

When he got home, Lin Ran saw his sister cleaning the yard alone.

"Sister, where is mom?"

Listening to the sound, Lin Wanjun watched Lin Ran riding a tricycle into the yard.

"Mom went to the fields to pick vegetables!"

Seeing Lin Wanjun working hard, Lin Ran remembered that her sister was already very old. She thought that in her previous life, she had put the family in dire straits, which resulted in her sister working hard all day long and not finding a good man to marry.

"Sister, when you make some money and your family's conditions improve, my brother will find you a good in-law!"

Listening to Lin Ran's words, Lin Wanjun couldn't help but blush, and took a broom to spank Lin Ran's ass.

"You brat, how dare you make fun of your sister!"
