"It's me who is pushing forward the construction. Shen Le is coming to visit me today. If you ask him personally, he will help you on my account.”
In a small villa, after hanging up the call with Shen Le, the chairman of the Chinese Calligraphy Association, Hong Guangdou, dialed another number and said to the other end of the phone.
"Really, okay. I'll be right there.”A calm man's voice came from the other end of the phone. After hearing Hong Guangdou's words, the man's tone was clearly filled with excitement.
"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?" In a small building in the courtyard of the Hu City Garrison Guard District, a noblewoman saw her husband's excited expression after hanging up the phone and couldn't help but smile.
Kang Jin Construction, the chief of the Hu City Garrison Guard, a 46-year-old Special Grade One Manager, the youngest Special Grade One Manager in China. Hearing his wife's question, Kang Tujian smiled." It's Elder Hong. Do you remember the calligraphy that Elder Hong sent over yesterday?"”
"Chinese cuisine?" Kang Jin's wife, Zheng Juan, heard her husband's words and thought of the calligraphy that was sent over yesterday. It was a very simple piece of calligraphy with only four regular script words on it." Chinese Cuisine " What's wrong with this piece of calligraphy? Didn't the old man say that it was an authentic work of Wang Xizhi? He was so happy for a long time. I've seen the old man so happy for a long time.”
Zheng Juan nodded. Her father-in-law, Kang Hua, was the only remaining founder of Xia Country. When he was young, he was called a Confucian general. Although he was an armed man, he loved calligraphy all his life. His favorite was Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Now that he was over 90 years old, he had experienced both honor and disgrace in life. The only regret he had was that he had not seen Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, the world's first semi-cursive calligraphy.
Even at this age, the old man still did not forget. However, the original Preface to the Orchid Pavilion had been lost during the Tang Dynasty. Although there were countless rumors in the past thousand years, no one could see the original. Kang Hua's wish seemed to have really become a wish.
"That calligraphy wasn't Wang Xizhi's original work, but was written by a person called Shen Le. However, Elder Hong had made it old, so without professional equipment, it wouldn't be able to tell if it was old or new.”Kang Guohua said to his wife.
"Fake?" Zheng Juan was stunned, but then she was confused. Why was Kang Jin so happy when it was fake? Shen Le, why does this name sound so familiar?”
"What fake? It should be said to be defensive. Shen Le was the father of the Shen family. He was the Shen Le who was very popular now. He was the one who was called the father-in-law of the nation. His daughters were all geniuses.”
"It's him?" Zheng Juan knew who it was when she heard the word 'national father-in-law'. Shen Le's reputation was still very high. All the girls in her family were geniuses. Shen Le, the national father-in-law, was even more talented. His family was all powerful figures.
"But what is there to be happy about?”Zheng Juan looked at her husband in confusion.
Kang Jin suddenly looked sad." The doctor told me that the old man's physical condition is very bad. His organs are overloaded. At his age, he will die at any time." You should know what the old man's obsession is.”
"Preface to the Orchid Pavilion?" Zheng Juan was taken aback. She was born into a wealthy family and was a smart person. When she heard Kang Tuijian's words, she seemed to have thought of something." Could it be that you plan to let Shen Le write a preface to the Orchid Pavilion, and then…?"”
"That's right. Elder Hong suggested this to me. I also think it's feasible. As you can see, Elder Hong loves Shen Le's calligraphy very much. This means that Shen Le's calligraphy is so good that it can pass off as real.”Kang Jin nodded.
"But this is cheating." Zheng Juan frowned.
" Sometimes, white lies can make up for regrets. If father's wish can be fulfilled, he won't blame us even if he finds out the truth a hundred years later.”
"Let's go, Xiao Ni.”Shen Le hung up on Yu Hong Guangdou. As she had to accompany Shen Ai to the marigolds, this trip might take some time. She had also promised to visit Hong Guangdou on the show, so the day after she went to the clinic, Shen Le called Hong Guangdou.
"Yes, yes. I've also met Old Mister Hong Guangdou a few times, but I've always followed Teacher to meet the old man. Dad, do you think it's appropriate for me to give this painting of the Pine Crane as a gift?”Shen Ni was even more nervous than Shen Le. After all, this little girl was in the painting and calligraphy circle. This time, she was going to visit a master of calligraphy. It was not strange for her to be a little nervous.
Shen Le laughed bitterly when she heard that. What was inappropriate about it? Shen Ni's paintings were worth a lot of money now, and this painting had Shen Le's inscription. According to Yang Hong's valuation method, Shen Le estimated that this painting would be worth at least 400 million yuan. The only people who would give such a generous gift of 400 million yuan would probably be the Shen father and daughter!
