"Not really. I just borrowed a book from the library two days ago that recorded the Eight Families of Jinling. I didn't expect to be talking about the Eight Families of Jinling today, so it feels a little coincidental.”Su Bingyan said softly.
In school, when they had nothing to do after class, they would arrange their own time. Some went back to work part-time, while others went back to the market to inspect.
Su Bingyan belonged to the latter category. However, he happened to see a painting of the Eight Families of Jinling at the Antique Street these few days, so he was interested in it and went to the library to borrow books about the Eight Families of Jinling.
"Which one of the Eight Families of Jinling do you like?”Ye Fan asked indifferently.
Su Bingyan picked up the cup of water. Before she could drink it, she heard Ye Fan's question."I just read about the Eight Families of Jinling, so I'm not sure. Brother Ye, which one of them do you like?”
Ye Fan ate a mouthful of food and said,"I admire Gong Xian, the leader of the Eight Families of Jinling."”
Gong Xian could be said to have been born into a family of officials in troubled times. He started learning painting at the age of thirteen, and at the age of twenty-one, his achievements in poetry, calligraphy, and painting had already made his mark in Nanjing's scholar-bureaucrats exhibition.
Compared to Gong Xian's achievements in painting and calligraphy, his poems were deep and solemn.
In his later years, Gong Xian moved many times and finally settled down in Qingliang Mountain. In order to show that he was out of place with the Qing government, he opened up a vegetable field of half an acre in front of his house and named it "Half an acre Garden". He wrote a small photo of himself, dressed in monk clothes to sweep the fallen leaves in the courtyard, and hung a broom in the hall.
Later generations called Gong Xian's residence the 'Leaf Sweeping Tower.'
In his later years, Gong Xian once again lived in seclusion in Mount Qingliang. He accompanied his half-acre vegetable garden in the Leaf Sweeping Pavilion, wrote poems, painted, and drank with his friends to express his patriotic feelings.
"I know Gong Xian. I even saw his poem 'Climbing to the Sad Place' yesterday." Speaking of Gong Xian, Su Bingyan recalled the poem she had read yesterday."Brother Ye, tell me about Gong Xian's paintings. I've read his poems, but I've never seen his paintings.”
"I haven't seen it either." Ye Fan shrugged helplessly and said,"Although I've never seen his authentic work, I still know a little about his painting style."”
Su Bingyan said impatiently,"Brother Ye, tell me quickly, I can't wait.”
"Gong Xian's painting style is deep and quiet, and he is good at using black and white contrast, making his calligraphy and paintings dense and vast yet simple and elegant. He is good at Jinling's landscape and likes to use ink.”Ye Fan sorted out the knowledge in his mind and said it according to his own understanding.
Su Bingyan listened to Ye Fan's explanation and felt an inexplicable joy in her heart. For some reason, ever since she first met Ye Fan, Ye Fan's appearance would often appear in her mind.
Ye Fan looked at Su Bingyan, who was engrossed in listening, and continued," Gong Xian's painting style is special. He likes to use both the tip and the tip of the brush. The tip of the brush is vigorous and vigorous, painting trees and moss. It's his own style."
" Gong Xian used ink instead of splashing ink, but it had a smoky effect. The ink color was thick and the effect was bright. It didn't lose the subtle changes of depth, shade, and brightness. Gong Xian's unique painting technique and ink characteristics made his painting show the dense and wet landscape of Jiangnan.”Ye Fan briefly summarized Gong Xian's style.
"Brother Ye, you really know a lot." After listening to Ye Fan's explanation, Su Bingyan praised in a low voice.
Ye Fan smiled relaxedly. He picked up the rice on the table and ate it in big mouthfuls. He had been sharing this knowledge with Su Bingyan and had forgotten to eat. As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach had already started to protest.
After the meal, under Su Bingyan's reluctant gaze, the two of them said goodbye and returned to their respective residences. However, Ye Fan's luck seemed to be a little bad tonight. As soon as he walked into the neighborhood, he bumped into someone.
"Aiyo, you don't have eyes." The person who was pretending to be with Ye Fan was a girl. She was about the same age as Ye Fan, but her temper was much bigger than Ye Fan's.
"Did you hit me?" Xu Ya pointed at Ye Fan and asked rudely. She was already in a bad mood today. She had just been harshly reprimanded by her boss on the phone and had to rush back to the company to work overtime. However, as soon as she left the neighborhood, she was knocked into. This made him furious.
Ye Fan turned his head to look around and said,"If there was a third person besides you and me, then I didn't hit you.”
"You…are shameless." Xu Ya was angered by Ye Fan's strange answer."You were the one who knocked me down, and you're still denying it.”
Ye Fan rubbed the back of his head and asked,"You already know that I hit you, so why are you still asking me if I hit you? I don't want you to spout nonsense just because you're a beauty. Why don't you lie on the ground and call an ambulance? Then, I'll do a process of elimination to see which part of your body was damaged by me.”
As he spoke, Ye Fan's gaze had already sneakily circled around her body. Her face without makeup was unbelievably bare. Her tight-fitting work clothes outlined her perfect figure.
"Pervert, what are you looking at? Do you want to die?”Xu Ya subconsciously reached her hand into her bag and gripped the stun baton tightly.
"Xu Ya, right? Don't think of everyone as such a bad person, okay? I'm a very pure and innocent young man.”Ye Fan said innocently.
Xu Yajiao reprimanded, and her expression suddenly became unnatural."You investigated me. How did you know my name?”
"I earn tens of millions a minute. If I have the time to investigate you, it's enough to support both of you.”Ye Fan felt that this woman's imagination was too rich. He only saw that the name written on the badge on her chest was Xu Ya.
When she heard the word 'kept', Xu Ya immediately transformed into a furious lioness and pounced towards Ye Fan with her fangs bared and claws bared.
"Your phone is ringing." Ye Fan hurriedly dodged and reminded her kindly.
Xu Ya glanced at the number that was called and looked at Ye Fan hatefully."Brat, I'll let you off easy today. I'll teach you a lesson the next time I see you.”
After picking up the call, Xu Ya's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. Then, she hailed a taxi and left.
As soon as she left, Ye Fan's phone rang.
"Uncle Zhang, what's the matter?" It was Zhang Qunfu.
"Ye Fan, it's like this. I just handed in a batch of cultural relics and there's a problem. I don't have anyone I can use right now, so I want you to come over and help.”
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, don't worry. I'll take a taxi over immediately.”
"No, where are you? I'll send someone to pick you up.”
"Uncle Zhang, don't be so polite. I'll hang up first. I'll be right there.”Ye Fan hung up and took a taxi over.
At the Cultural Relics Police Station, Zhang Qunfu and the deputy chief were discussing with each other.
"Chief Zhang, this batch of cultural relics has been adulterated. Moreover, the degree of imitation is very high. Can the people you found do it?”Deputy Bureau Chief Wei Quanming was a little worried.
Zhang Qunfu wiped the sweat off his face with a towel."Don't worry, Old Wei. Ye Fan is someone that even Li Luo praises. Moreover, I've tested his ability to identify objects today. He's definitely first-class.”
Zhang Qunfu didn't talk about the " Famous Records of Mountains and Rivers ". He only talked about the test. After all, he still wanted to wait a few years for the ink to settle down before selling it for a good price to make up for the loss of the purple jade teapot.
"Chief Zhang, Chief Wei, I'm here." If Ye Fan came over, he would definitely recognize this person in front of him.
That's right, the one who spoke was Xu Ya, who had bumped into Ye Fan at the entrance of the neighborhood. However, this world was a little small. They had just separated and were about to meet again.
"Little Ya, come in." Zhang Qunfu waved his hand and said," You and Qing Qing are in charge of this batch of cultural relics. Now that such a problem has occurred, you and Qing Qing can't escape the responsibility."”
" Chief, I..." Xu Ya stammered, not knowing what to say.
Wei Quanming waved his hand to give Xu Ya a way out.""Alright, Qing Qing is now checking the cultural relics in the warehouse. You should go over and check with her. The experts invited by Chief Zhang will be here soon.”
Xu Ya nodded her head in a panic and ran to the warehouse to check with Zhang Qingqing.
When Ye Fan came over, Zhang Qunfu was already waiting for him at the door. This made Ye Fan feel a little flattered."Uncle Zhang, what are you doing? I could have just gone to look for you. Why did you come here personally?”
"It's okay. Come, Ye Fan, let me introduce you. This is Deputy Director Wei Quanming.”Zhang Qunfu wasn't in a hurry to get Ye Fan to identify the cultural relics. Instead, he introduced Wei Quanming first.
"Uncle Wei, how are you?" Ye Fan called out politely and smiled bitterly in his heart."F * ck him. Being young is a disadvantage. When you look at someone, you either call him uncle or big brother.”
Ever since Ye Fan got out of the car, Wei Quanming had also been sizing him up."Is the young man that Chief Zhang found good enough? He's only twenty years old and isn't even as old as Qingqing.”
Although he was suspicious, he still nodded politely out of courtesy."Ye Fan, your Uncle Zhang praised you to the heavens. You must not hide your true strength later.”
"Don't worry, Uncle Wei. I'll do my best.”"How did Uncle Zhang do it?" Ye Fan asked.”
Zhang Qunfu's expression was helpless. Like a deflated balloon, he said,""There's no hurry. Ye Fan, go upstairs first. Your Uncle Wei and I will tell you about this in detail.”
Ye Fan nodded and went upstairs to the office with Zhang Qunfu. After Zhang Qunfu and Wei Quanming's introduction, Ye Fan knew what was going on.
It turned out that this time, Wuzhou had intercepted a batch of smuggled cultural relics. This matter should have been handled by the Wuzhou Cultural Relics Bureau, but less than a week after the cultural relics were placed in the Wuzhou Cultural Relics Bureau, the cultural relics were missing one after another.
