At an antique calligraphy and painting shop.
Lin Yi picked out some brushes.
There were small size and large ones.
When the shop owner saw Lin Yi's simple and unadorned appearance and white-haired age, he directly came out to receive him personally.
After all, in this era, those who could still maintain this style of dressing at an old age knew more or less about this kind of literary treasure.
Especially when he saw Lin Yi pick with one hand, the boss noticed the walking stick in his hand.
At a glance, one could tell that the cane was extraordinary from its orange color and engraved patterns.
He was even more certain that this old man was not short of money and was a big client.
"Bring me this brush and let me try it.”Lin Yi pointed at the brushes displayed on a special shelf in the shop and said to the boss.
The boss 'grandson looked at the brush on display and wanted to tell Lin Yi that he could not try it.
The main reason was that it was too expensive.
The shop didn't plan to sell it either.
However, the boss did not feel any heartache at all as he went over to take it and handed it to Lin Yi.
He even took a piece of fine Xuan paper and an inkstone filled with ink.
"Would you like to try it?"
Lin Yi nodded.”
As he spoke, he picked up the brush and casually wrote two strokes on a blank piece of paper.
"It feels good." Lin Yi expressed his satisfaction.”
The boss and his grandson were stunned.
Logically speaking, to test a brush, one had to apply ink and test the quality and toughness of the brush.
"Pack it up." Lin Yi said.
The shop owner nodded and wrapped the brush up. He smiled at Lin Yi and said,"I think you like calligraphy and painting. I'll give you a set of paper and ink.”
"That's even better." Lin Yi smiled.
Lin Chuxue followed the owner's grandson to the cashier and asked,""How much?"
"Hello, this red sandalwood dragon-patterned Han white brush is 670,000 yuan.”
"How much?" Lin Chuxue thought she misheard, and her eyes widened.
Damn it, isn't it just a pen?
Was it necessary?
So expensive?
"What's wrong?" Lin Yi asked when he saw her big reaction.
"It's nothing." Lin Chuxue bitterly smiled.
His heart ached.
She thought that the most expensive one would be a few thousand yuan, but at most, it would be ten or twenty thousand yuan.
It seemed that he had been too careless when he boasted shamelessly in the car that his great-grandfather could choose whatever he wanted.
"Don't worry about the money." Lin Yi looked at Lin Chuxue and smiled." Just buy it. When great-grandfather writes two words, the money for this brush won't even be a fraction of what you earn from selling calligraphy and paintings."”
"Great-grandfather, if you like it, then buy it.”What else could Lin Chuxue say? If the old man liked it, she could only buy it for him.
She didn't take Lin Yi's bragging about selling calligraphy and paintings seriously and immediately paid for the brush.
The grandson of the shop owner looked at Lin Yi and then looked at Lin Chuxue. After he finished packing, he and his father sent the two out of the shop.
Outside, Chen Ruolin was waiting for them in the car.
The owner of the calligraphy and painting shop saw them off and walked back into the shop.
The grandson standing at the door was still thinking about what Lin Yi had said just now.'Later on, your great-grandfather will be able to make money by writing two calligraphy paintings. At that time, the money you earn from this brush won't even be a fraction of what you earn from selling calligraphy paintings.'
He recalled it again and could not help but snort."Is 670,000 yuan not even a fraction of his calligraphy and painting? How dare he say that? Did he think he was Qi Baishi? He was already so old, yet he still liked to imitate others? She had no money, yet she still insisted on buying a collectible auction-grade item. There was an 80% chance that this old man did not know how expensive it was just now. It was just that the arrow was already on the bow and had to be pulled out. Looking at her granddaughter's reluctant expression, she knew that this old man did not have much money.”
"Grandpa, I don't understand why you sold it to him at the original price.”His grandson turned to look at the shop owner and said,""This pen passed down from the early Qing Dynasty can be sold at a high price when you meet someone you like. It can definitely be sold for millions.”
The shop owner went to tidy up the inkstones and papers that Lin Yi and the others had just tried on as he said,"Don't judge him with your narrow vision. That old man can buy our shop with his walking stick.”
"Crutches?" "How valuable can a walking stick be?"”
"What's the difference between you and that little girl just now?”The shop owner sneered,"You ignorant little brat." The crutch was made of golden Phoebe wood, and the crutch was carved using the Weifang hand-carved technique of the Republic of China. The jade inlaid on the head of the walking stick was about the size of an egg. Judging from its appearance, it was emerald. Just that one was worth more than a hundred million! To be able to match such a stone to embed it, it could prove that this crutch was probably a thousand-year-old. A hundred-year-old crutch was not worthy of this stone.”
After saying that, the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop retracted his gaze and placed it on the papers.
Just as he was about to fold the paper, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his entire body seemed to be fixed there by an immobilizing talisman.
In his eyes, he could clearly see the words slowly appearing on the blank piece of paper!
Lin Yi did not use ink on this piece of paper just now. He used a clean brush to stroke it twice.
A glance.
One press!
'Human'!
The word 'person' appeared on the paper in his hands!
This word was vigorous and powerful. It was simple and casual, but it gave the 'person' the elegant and elegant mood of a lazy and tranquil game in the world!
Boom!
The boss rushed out of the shop and looked for Lin Yi on the street.
However, Chen Ruolin's car had already disappeared into the busy streets.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" When his grandson saw that his grandfather seemed to have lost his mind and was looking for something, he hurriedly said,"They paid."
The shop owner held the piece of paper in his hand with a regretful expression and said to his grandson,"Go inside and take out the most expensive frame that we ordered.”
His grandson was puzzled and ran in to get a picture frame.
Then, he saw his grandfather carefully mount the blank paper.
In the end, he even hung it on the most eye-catching corner of the entrance.
Moreover, his grandfather had been staring at the blank piece of paper for a long time.
His eyes were filled with yearning, as if he was admiring a piece of art.
"Grandpa, I don't understand. What's on this paper that makes you so obsessed? Why does it look blank to me?”
The shop owner was still looking at the frame, and his eyes were burning as he said,"When you live for another 40 years, you can come and see it. It will reflect your 'human' life!”
After a long time, he retracted his gaze and said to his grandson,"Think of a way to contact the customer just now and return the money for the brush to him. "Also, it's best if you can find out if that old man has any works. Once he does, I want it no matter how much it costs!”
His grandson was stunned when he heard his grandfather's instructions.
