Dressed as an abandoned daughter of a wealthy family, she relies on metaphysics to become a god
Chapter 40 The painter disappears
In a blink of an eye, it's Friday.
Jiaxing Auction House has been crowded with guests these days, and everyone wants to see if the auction house will display the items from the weekend auction in advance.
In particular, Lin Rongde, the owner of Jiaxing Auction House, made a big publicity, saying that there was a jewel in this auction that could make the imperial capital famous, and its grade was even comparable to the "Mountain of Light" diamond on the crown of E country.
As soon as these words came out, the wealthy and powerful people in the Imperial City could not sit still. Everyone knew that the quality of jewelry on the market in the Imperial City in recent years was far inferior to before. How dare a Jiaxing auction house that was about to go bankrupt dare to boast about Haikou?
Many people are waiting to see Lin Rongde's joke, especially several owners of the same auction house. If you, Lin Rongde, could have "Mountain of Light" level jewelry, would you still owe tens of millions in debt?
Unfortunately, the guests who wanted to see the true appearance in advance did not get what they wanted, but they all came and bought a few small furnishings.
Uncle Lin, the boss of Jiaxing Auction House, looked at today's bill and found that he actually made a small profit of five to six million yuan. This was a performance that had not been achieved in the past three years, and this all originated from the gathering arranged by Chu Yao for Jiaxing Auction House. Financial array.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Chu, I didn't expect you to do research on Feng Shui."
The girl sitting in the main seat was still as calm and composed as when they first met, as if she wouldn't be anxious even if the sky fell.
Chu Yao had a smile at the corner of his mouth and said: "Whether the business is doing well or not depends on the person's business acumen and the quality of the goods. The wealth gathering array can only add fuel to the flames. If you don't run it carefully, no matter how good it is, Gathering wealth array will not help."
"I understand everything you said." Uncle Lin nodded. Chu Yao invested 50 million in Jiaxing Auction House. He originally wanted to call Chu Yao boss, but Chu Yao thought it was pharaonic, so Uncle Lin just decided. As always, call her Miss Chu.
"I brought the painting I mentioned before." Chu Yao handed over a scroll. Uncle Lin wiped his hands, took it carefully, and gently untied the string tied to the scroll.
"This is...!" Before the scroll was fully unfolded, Uncle Lin exclaimed, "The style of this painting is extraordinary and elegant, sparse and bright, quite similar to the style of Shi Tao, a great painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties! He uses his brush freely. , dripping with ink... wonderful, wonderful!"
Jiaxing Auction House's auctions for many years have mainly focused on calligraphy and painting. Uncle Lin is not just a businessman, his research on calligraphy and painting is no less than those of the masters in the calligraphy and painting association.
"Is this really a contemporary painter? Just looking at the artistry and the brushwork, I really doubt that Miss Chu invited a painter from the late Ming Dynasty." Uncle Lin sighed, and asked eagerly: "Who is this? Painter? Why have I never seen his works? Has he joined the Imperial Capital Painting and Calligraphy Association? Can Miss Chu recommend it to me? I want to visit in person!"
Of course, it is impossible for him to have seen this painter's work, because this painting was just painted by Chu Yao yesterday.
In her previous life, Chu Yao's paintings were hard to come by, simply because her paintings were not only vigorous and lively, but she also concentrated her aura on the tip of her pen when painting, and the works she painted also contained a trace of pure aura. Hiding it at home can attract wealth and good fortune, and regulate feng shui.
As for Uncle Lin's statement that Chu Yao's paintings have the style of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, in fact, Chu Yao can be considered half a late Ming Dynasty person.
Chu Yao originally thought that he was reborn hundreds of years later, but found that this world was not the same world as his own.
In her previous life, the dynasty she lived in was called "Qi Dynasty", which was a new dynasty after the Ming Dynasty. Chu Yao was born at the turn of the Ming Dynasty and Qi Dynasty.
After rebirth, Chu Yao combined the memories left by the original owner with the historical materials she had consulted, and discovered that there was no Qi Dynasty in this world that she had lived in.
After discovering this shocking fact, Chu Yao felt a little depressed.
Although it was a great joy that she could live again, when she thought that Qi Chao did not exist in this world, let alone Chu Yao, the national master of Qi Chao and the head of the Yin Sect, she couldn't help but guess that she was the one in her previous life. Did it really exist?
Or maybe, he was originally Chu Yao, and everything in his previous life was just a dream?
Chu Yao didn't know the answers to these questions. She comforted herself that there were three thousand worlds in the universe, and she just came to another world.
Facing Uncle Lin who was eager to see the painter, Chu Yao declined: "Sorry, this painter is relatively withdrawn and doesn't like to be disturbed."
Uncle Lin was a little disappointed, but he could also understand that many calligraphers and painters needed a clean creative environment, and it was common for them not to be visited by others.
Uncle Lin noticed that there was no artist's name or seal on the painting, and asked, "Then what is the artist's name?"
Chu Yao thought for a while, she finished the painting in one go yesterday, but she forgot to give herself a name.
A sentence that the master once said to her suddenly appeared in her mind, and with the answer in her mind, she said with a smile: "Chaoyin."
In his previous life, Chu Yao had been practicing on the mountain of Yinmen for sixteen years. One day, his master suddenly asked a question.
"Yao'er, if a rich businessman offered you ten thousand taels of gold and asked you to come out, would you be willing?" Master asked.
Chu Yao shook her head indifferently. She had never been interested in money. She just wanted to understand the Heart Sutra of the Hidden Sect in her lifetime and reach the state of ascension as soon as possible.
"Then if the king and prime minister of the current dynasty grant you a position above ten thousand people, would you be willing to come out?" Master asked again.
Chu Yao still shook his head and said: "Master, whether it is gold, silver, jewelry, or glory and wealth, they are like dust to me. What I pursue is a realm beyond the world."
But the master was not satisfied with her answer. He smiled gently and said: "You are wrong, Yao'er. You have been practicing in this mountain since you were born. In the past sixteen years, your skills have been perfected. But Yao'er, you have only lived in the mountains and have never seen the temptations of the human world. You are still far from enlightenment."
"The small one is hidden in the wild, the middle one is hidden in the city, and the big one is hidden in the court. Only when you have traveled all over the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas and seen every kind of life can you understand what it means to be 'hidden'."
After saying this, the master took Chu Yao to the foot of the mountain that day.
They traveled through the endless mountains and rivers of Qi State, and only then did Chu Yao realize that the world was not just a small mountain peak at Yinmen. The world was the hazy mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the long stretches of yellow sand in Mobei, and the thousands of miles of frozen snow peaks. It’s also the smoke from the village.
It turns out that there are so many joys and sorrows in the world. Some people are greedy for wealth, some are seeking high positions, and some are pursuing immortality...
Chu Yao returned to the Hidden Gate alone.
A few years later, the prime minister of the Qi Dynasty came to see him, hoping that the head of the Yin Sect could come out and serve as the national counselor of the Qi Dynasty.
I heard that these Feng Shui masters have always had weird tempers, and the Prime Minister thought that he would be rejected.
Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, a girl in her twenties walked out, smiling calmly and saying, "Let's go."
