Chapter 31 Mounting and Uncovering the Painting

When Xu You woke up, she found that she was lying in Chen Zhibei's arms, not only that, but her left foot was still hanging on Chen Zhibei's waist, and she only had boxers on her body.

Chen Zhibei wore a pure cotton vest more than Xu You, and his right arm was padded under Xu You's neck.

Vaguely, Xu You remembered yesterday that he had been writing since he felt the sensation, and then he was probably too tired, so he lay down on the table to sleep, and then Chen Zhibei came back and picked him up.

In fact, Xu You felt that Chen Zhibei was back, and wanted to say a few words to him, but he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes.

Not long after, Chen Zhibei woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he looked at Xu Wei, "What did you do yesterday?"

Xu Wei didn't know why, but he heard anger from this ordinary sentence, so he quickly explained that he suddenly became enlightened yesterday, and he couldn't stop writing if he wanted to.

"Sleep a little longer, and get up for dinner later." Chen Zhibei was silent for a while, and said to Xu Wei.

Xu You nodded quickly and buried herself in the bed.

After a while, Xu You heard a knock on the door, and then the room service came in and tidied up the room.

Originally Xu Er was going to get up, but she was really tired and drowsy, so Xu Er fell asleep on the bed again.

By the time Xu Er woke up completely, it was already past eleven o'clock at noon.

"Brother Beizi, are you not busy today?" Xu Wei got up, saw Chen Zhibei who was sitting on the sofa cutting fruit, and asked curiously, with excitement in his tone that he didn't even notice.

"Well, I'm done with work, and I can go back in a few days." Chen Zhibei patted the sofa beside him, motioning Xu Wei to sit down.

Xu Wei was not pretentious, sat down, picked up Chen Zhibei's well-cut apple and took a bite, not to mention, it was quite delicious.

Ever since Chen Zhibei got busy, Xu Er had never eaten such a delicious apple.Probably because of water and soil problems, Xu You always felt that the fruits in Xiangjiang were not sweet enough.

Well, the fruit from my hometown is not as delicious as the one bought by Brother Beizi. Maybe it's because I don't know how to pick it?

"Let's go find a shop in a while and frame these writings." Chen Zhibei pointed to the writings on the table, Xu Wei glanced at them, it should be the last few writings yesterday.

"Lisa said that she knows a store, and there is a master who has been a master framer for more than 50 years." Xu Wei asked Lisa a long time ago.

A few days ago, Lisa told him that she had found a century-old shop with a revolving door to make the sound of calligraphy and painting.The current boss is her classmate's father, and the old master is his classmate's grandfather, but he hasn't taken over jobs for many years, and will only take over by himself when he meets someone he likes occasionally.

"What else do you want to frame?" If he didn't say it, Xu Er would never think of mounting his handwriting.

"I want to reframe two of the paintings that were taken out of the cave, and I want to reframe these two paintings."

Although calligraphy and painting are mounted once, the paper will be thinner, but the cave where these calligraphy and paintings were placed before, the cave is cold and damp, which has a great impact on the preservation of calligraphy and painting.For longer preservation, it is better to reframe it.

"When is the appointment?"

"At any time, Lisa said that his only job now is to play with me. Brother Beizi, what kind of job does Lisa actually do? Why is it his job to play with me?" This is what Xu Wei has been thinking about. I understand, does playing with you count as work?

"The tour guide is just for playing with people." Chen Zhibei picked up the hotel phone, dialed, and told Lisa that the two of them planned to go to the painting and calligraphy shop this afternoon to frame some calligraphy and paintings.

In the afternoon, Lisa drove over. At the same time, Qu Feng got a letter from somewhere, and brought a girl in her 20s with flowing long hair and elegant clothes, saying that she wanted to go to see paintings with the two of them.

"Yuxi has liked traditional culture since she was a child, so I brought it with you to see the world." Qu Feng drove behind without embarrassment at all.

When Xu You got out of the car, he saw Qu Feng with that temperamental beauty standing at the crossing waiting for them, and waved happily.Going shopping or something is more fun when there are many people.

When it came to Chen Zhibei, his mood became not very good, and he gave Qu Feng a hard look, "Where did you get the car?"

"Chen Shao borrowed it, and it's boring to drive. I plan to go to a 4S shop tomorrow and order an off-road vehicle. That will be interesting."

"Brother Qu, do you want to buy a car? In fact, I also want to buy a car, and I will drive home by myself." Xu Wei was also very interested when he heard about buying a car. From Xu Wei's point of view, driving home in his own car It is a very enviable thing.

"That's good, tell me what you want, and I'll choose one for you." Qu Feng was so excited that he didn't notice Chen Zhibei's eyes, and talked to Xu Wei about his research on cars while walking.

"Everyone, we've arrived. This is here, Ji Yazhai." The place where Lisa brought everyone here was an antique two-story building on the right side of Moro Street on Hollywood Road.Surrounded by small and large-scale antique shops, this Ji Yazhai is relatively small, but it looks the most tasteful.

"Lisa, you are here, come in quickly, the Dahongpao just soaked." A fat man in his 20s wearing a mandarin jacket, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and smiling very kindly, like a Maitreya Buddha, was standing at the door, Seeing everyone greeted quickly.

However, compared to Xu Wei and others, he is obviously more attentive to Lisa, a capable beauty.

"Come, come, sit down."

"Lu Jiu, as I told you last time, I am taking a few guests to frame some paintings and calligraphy. How are you preparing?" Lisa called Xu Wei and the others to sit down, and then asked the fat man , that is, Lu Jiu.

"Everything is ready. It just so happens that my father has no work in the past few days. When I heard that you introduced a guest, I was very happy. Let's have some tea first, and I will go to the back to find my father." Lu Jiu can speak Mandarin, but with a The mandarin of Xiangjiang flavor can be understood, but it is a bit strange.

Lu Jiu and his father look very similar, they are both fat and friendly, but Boss Lu, a middle-aged fat man, looks more bookish, but he doesn't look like a businessman.

"You guys have come from afar, welcome."

"Boss Lu, I think you've heard that my little brother has a few calligraphy and paintings that need to be framed." Qu Feng accompanied his girlfriend to see something new today, and he cared more about frame than the others.

"Okay, then, let me look at things first." Boss Lu didn't care, he opened the door to do business with the intention of making money with harmony, and if someone sent business to the door, there was no reason to push it out without reason.

Xu You first took out a few pictures he had written and placed them on the table.

Boss Lu's eyes lit up when he saw it. As a framer, he also needs to have a very high appreciation ability for calligraphy and painting.

Although Boss Lu can't say he is an expert in this field, he can tell whether a work is good or not with just a glance.

The few characters on the table look thin and golden at first glance, and they have already touched the essence of the fonts. The author of these characters, as long as he persists for another seven or eight years, is not guaranteed to become famous, but Boss Lu does have seven. An eight-point grasp.

It's just that the writing is good, but the paper is not so good. Although it can be mounted, it can't be preserved for a long time.

Boss Lu expressed his own opinion, but Xu Wei didn't think it mattered, it would be a big deal to write later.

"You wrote this, little brother?" Boss Lu's smiling face, which had been on since he entered the door, finally changed.

"Well, I wrote it yesterday." Xu Wei nodded, "Actually, I don't think it's very good, and it can be improved."

"Little friend, is this a transformational work that breaks through the bottleneck? It's very commemorative, and it's also very meaningful to frame it for collection." Boss Lu shook his head and looked at Xu Wei with admiration.

"Since my friend's works are for practicing pens, why not let my son frame them. This kid has already graduated from a teacher, but he lacks some experience."

"Okay." Fangzheng wrote something by himself, and he didn't feel bad if it broke, so Xu Wei nodded indifferently.

Then he took out several other scrolls and spread them out, "Boss Lu, I bought these paintings in exchange for them. They were stored in a damp place before. I want to reframe them."

"No problem, don't worry, little friend. Put it here, and you can come and pick it up in a week." Boss Lu saw that he let his son practice so readily before, and now he sees these works from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For the painting, I nodded my head in agreement, and the time was a bit longer, so slow work produces meticulous work.

"One week?" Xu Wei was a little embarrassed, "Brother Beizi, when shall we leave?"

"Five days later." Seeing Xu Wei looking at him, Chen Zhibei thought for a while, "The fee will be paid first, please mail it to Shanghai."

When Boss Lu heard that a few people would not stay here for a few days, he was also a little embarrassed. He was afraid that the other party would say it would be in advance, but he was surprised that the other party wanted to mail it by himself.

"How can it be mailed, how about this, I will ask my son to deliver it in person."

When Lu Jiu heard that he was asked to go to the inland, he nodded quickly. He hadn't been there yet, so he just went to see it.

"Boss Lu, I have a special painting in here. It should be when I framed the two paintings. Can you separate them for me?"

Xu Wei asked with some embarrassment. Originally, he wanted to take this rather special painting back and ask Mr. Zhang to introduce a capable person to re-frame the painting.However, after Xu Wei entered the store, he saw several paintings hanging here, and the mounting skills were really worth mentioning, so he asked for advice.

Two paintings glued together?Which wicked person did this, it's such a waste of things.

Some mounting masters will collect some good scrolls, remove the bad calligraphy and paintings on them, and replace them with new ones.

Generally, the original painting will be kicked out, but there are also direct mountings that save trouble.It's just that in this way, the damage to the painting is great, which is not conducive to the secondary mounting.

"Don't worry, little friend, even if I don't succeed, we still have an old man in our family. With more than 50 years of craftsmanship, the whole Xiangjiang is also famous. My signboard of more than [-] years is absolutely trustworthy." Boss Lu's chest thumped loudly, and he almost issued a military order. .

This trip, everyone is happy.
