Siheyuan: I have traveled through time and space and still can’t eat enough?

The next day, after washing up, Yan Jiekuang did not go to work, but went to Polanhou's house.

"Uncle, I have something here that I'm not sure about, so I need you to take a look at it."

After Yan Jiekuang finished speaking, he took out yesterday's painting from his bag and opened it carefully.

Seeing how serious he was about it, the Broken Marquis chuckled, "Oh, you're not even sure what it is."

In the past few years, Yan Jiekuang not only learned a lot from Grandpa Guan, but also learned a lot from Hou Polan. Although his level is not enough to be a master expert, he has no problem identifying ordinary things.

When Hou Polan took the scroll, he took a quick look at it and immediately became serious.

After about ten minutes, he laughed and said, "Yes, yes, it's a great painting."

Seeing that the Broken Marquis kept laughing and didn't say whether the painting was real or fake, Yan Jiekuang was so anxious that he interrupted him: "Uncle, don't just laugh. You haven't told me whether it's real or fake!"

"This painting is called "Autumn Wind and Silk Fan", and it was created by the famous Ming Dynasty painter Tang Bohu. He was very talented and once attracted the attention of the court. However, his family suffered many misfortunes and his fate was very rough."

"The painting "Autumn Wind and Silk Fan" is based on the prototype of Ban Jieyu, a former favorite concubine of Emperor Cheng of Han. She is fading and sad, just like a silk fan abandoned after the autumn wind. Tang Bohu used the resentful beauty in the palace to illustrate his own situation, and then satirized the fickleness of the world."

After finishing speaking, Hou Polan paused for a moment before explaining to Yan Jiekuang why this painting was real.

"You can see that the background in this painting is extremely simple. The slopes and bamboos are just sketched without much decoration. The large area of ​​white space gives people a feeling of autumn wind, emptiness and loneliness. The brushwork is subtle and meaningful, like the weak and pitiful beauty and the hideous stone forming a sharp contrast effect, combining hardness and softness, fully showing Tang Bohu's personal freehand style."

"So whether it's from the material, the brushwork or the painting style, this is undoubtedly the real thing."

When Marquis Polan said these words, his eyes never left the "Autumn Wind and Silk Fan".

Looking at his appearance, Yan Jiekuang couldn't help but think of another thing.

"Uncle, how about I give this to you?"

When he heard that this thing was going to be given to him, Hou Polan instinctively agreed.

"Yeah!"

But after he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. Although his nephew was not stingy, he was an antique lover and would never be so generous as to give away treasures.

So he asked, "What's your idea?"

Seeing that the Broken Marquis had reacted, Yan Jiekuang chuckled and stated his purpose: "I remember you have three small enamel bowls, I want them."

Yan Jiekuang felt that since he liked the little lazy cat, he must get these small bowls.

This thing has no special meaning to Hou Polan, he just collects it as a treasure.

Otherwise, in the original drama, the three small bowls would not have fallen into Han Chunming's hands.

Hou Polan was very surprised to hear that his nephew asked for those three small bowls.

He naturally knew that it was a set of four. If it was a complete set, its value could be comparable to that of the painting. But now that one was missing, the difference in value was not just a little bit.

But he didn't delve into it deeply, because everyone has his own fate.

Since my nephew wants to change it and I also like this painting, there is no reason for me to refuse.

"Okay, change it. Just don't regret it."

Seeing that the Broken Marquis agreed, Yan Jiekuang immediately said happily: "Don't worry, I will definitely not regret it."

To him, these antiques were only useful; his appreciation level was not up to the level of Marquis Paola.

The reason for collecting these things is that I know they will be valuable in the future and I want to keep them as a treasure, and the other reason is purely for fun.

Of course, he would definitely not take these treasures abroad, he still has that sentiment.

After the Broken Marquis took out the small bowl and Yan Jiekuang put it away properly, he asked another question: "Uncle, do you know anyone who can decorate a house?"

Yan Jiekuang just bought a restaurant yesterday, but if he wants to open the store for business, he has to renovate it.

I counted my network of contacts, most of them are leaders in the factory, and I really don't have any friends in this area.

I happened to come to see Hou Paolan today, so I asked you about it.

"Oh! Are you going to repair the house?"

When he heard the question from the Broken Marquis, he knew that he had misunderstood, so he explained, "No, I'm planning to open a restaurant, and I need to redecorate it."

"Hey, you're good at it, this is going to be a big deal!"

"You know what? I actually know such a person. His father used to work for the palace, and later he passed on all his skills to him."

"Go to Maoer Hutong and find a guy called Lei Dashouzi, and tell him that I introduced him to you."

Yan Jiekuang was a little surprised. Lei Dashouzi didn't sound like a person's name at all. Instead, it sounded like a nickname.

With the spirit of asking questions when you don't understand, Yan Jiekuang said directly: "Uncle, this Lei Dashouzi doesn't sound like a person's name!"

Paola Hou chuckled and said, "This is the nickname given to him by his peers. His real name is Lei Mingjun. Because he has good skills and a bad temper, he is very difficult to hire, so his peers call him the big hand."

After hearing this explanation, Yan Jiekuang also understood that capable people tend to have bad tempers, so it is normal for them to be regarded as oddities by their peers.

Having finished his business, there was no need for Yan Jiekuang to stay any longer.

But after he left, he did not return to his own home, but came to Guan's house. There was nothing serious to do, just to visit the "old man".

After he put the wine and food in front of Mr. Guan, he looked around and found that the old man was the only one at home, so he sat down disappointedly.

At this time, Master Guan looked at him with a smile: "Boy, is there anything you are unsure about?"

"No! I just had nothing to do, so I came to see you."

Mr. Guan didn't believe this at all, but he didn't expose him either.

"The lazy cat told me everything that happened yesterday. Thank you for saving her."

Hearing Mr. Guan's thanks, Yan Jiekuang quickly said, "What are you talking about? No one would ignore such a thing if they encountered it."

Looking at Yan Jiekuang's humble look, Mr. Guan became even more satisfied.

He had always been very optimistic about Yan Jiekuang, who was humble and low-key, and had great abilities.

Now that he has saved his granddaughter, he likes Yan Jiekuang even more.

The two of them started chatting awkwardly, and if the old man hadn't told him some knowledge about antiques, Yan Jiekuang would have had no topics to talk about with an old man over 70 years old.

The situation did not improve much until the lazy cat returned home.

During the chat, Yan Jiekuang learned that Guan Xiaoguan's parents ran a Chinese restaurant abroad, and her ideal was to open her own restaurant and make a career.

At this time Yan Jiekuang also remembered that these were mentioned in the original play.

Han Chunming gave the shares of Chabalou to Guan Xiaoguan, and she was indeed a good business person, running a restaurant successfully.
