Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Frankness

 It is certain that the price of antique calligraphy and paintings will increase. Especially for ancient paintings, as long as they are authentic works by famous artists, they will increase hundreds or even thousands of times in twenty or thirty years!

Lu Jiaxin said: "If the other party doesn't sell their collection, it doesn't matter if they can't buy it back. If they want to sell it, I don't have enough money. I can help find a buyer then and never let the things go abroad."

Even if the price rises a thousand times, the other party will still be able to afford it if he sells it in the future. Predicting the future is her biggest trump card.

Xue Mao, who had been silent for the whole time, interjected: "If you sell it to Hong Kong businessmen and they take it back to the port city, doesn't that mean you are living abroad?"

Lu Jiaxin had a dark line: "Read more books in the future, otherwise people will know that you are so ignorant and they will not deal with you in the future."

After speaking, she explained: "Hong Kong City belongs to our country, but it was leased to Britain more than eighty years ago. We will take it back in another thirteen years. Therefore, the people in Hong Kong City are our compatriots, and they are sold to Britain." They are just left-handed and right-handed, and they are still in our country."

Xue Mao even regretted opening his mouth. He was just asked to study, but the thought of going to class made him feel as big as an ox.

Gu Wenfeng was very satisfied, but he did not reply immediately: "Miss Lu, I can't make the decision on such a big matter, I have to report it to the leader first."

Lu Jiaxin secretly thought that it was a good thing that she was not going to mess with the system because there were too many rules. Not only that, many people are also very stubborn and have too many obstacles in getting one thing done.

After discussing it, Gu Wenfeng took the porcelain one by one. It was also difficult to bring porcelain, otherwise she would have really wanted to take the amphora back home to arrange flowers.

Xue Mao said: "Sister, if you go to Pengcheng to sell paintings, what will you say when people ask you?"

Lu Jiaxin thinks this is not a problem at all: "Tomorrow we will go to the antique market and pick some calligraphy, paintings and porcelain bottles to decorate. When I was buying paintings, I got lucky and found an authentic painting by a famous artist. In order to sell more money, I went to Pengcheng .”

 The handicrafts purchased are used for decoration, and the calligraphy and paintings are hidden. There is a vegetable cellar in her house, which the previous owner used to store vegetables. The ink sticks and inkstones were temporarily stored in the cellar. I don't know if the banks in Sijiucheng now have safe deposit boxes. If they do, I will put them in bank safes when they make money. No, I will find a secret place to hide when the time comes.

 After the discussion, Gu Wenfeng gave another suggestion: "Miss Lu, those two families will definitely come in after we leave. I think you'd better ask someone to help look after the house."

 Lu Jiaxin said that there is no reliable person.

Gu Wenfeng immediately answered the call: "If you can trust me, I will find it for you. No wages, just give them two houses."

“Brother Gu is joking. If you can't believe it, then I really don't know who to believe.”

 Gu Wenfeng went out early the next day, and Lu Jiaxin wanted to go to the antique market with Xue Mao. Unfortunately, Xue Mao disagrees. There are so many treasures in the house, what if a thief comes and steals them all.

He couldn't be persuaded, and Lu Jiaxin couldn't go alone, so she had to stay at home.

Xue Mao asked curiously: "Sister, how much do you think a calligraphy and painting can be sold for?"

Knowing that his mental quality was not good, Lu Jiaxin said: "Twenty thousand is the minimum."

This time she planned to bring the ink painting, the longevity painting and the five-clawed dragon ink block. The psychological price of a painting was 50,000. But a painting like Zhao Ji's would not be sold even if she was given one million now. Once a masterpiece like this is sold, it can never be bought back.

Xue Mao couldn't speak clearly: "More, more, how much?" One painting costs twenty thousand, and five paintings means one hundred thousand. This is going to be stolen... Thinking of this, Xue Mao felt that he should guard these treasures at all times.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Jiaxin couldn't laugh or cry: "Xue Mao, in the eyes of people who don't know the industry, these things are no different from the New Year pictures sold on the roadside for a few cents each. Don't be nervous, just treat those things like Brother Gu and I. ordinary things,

"You being so nervous will easily arouse suspicion. If we return to Sijiu City and fall into the eyes of interested people, we won't be able to keep these treasures."

Xue Mao sighed and thought for a moment before saying, "Sister, those two families are not honest. It's better to be cautious. You can't leave the family before returning to Sijiu City."

Lu Jiaxin knew his temperament and had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, Gu Wenfeng has an acquaintance here, and he is quite capable, so he shouldn't have to wait too long to get a ride.

Gu Wenfeng came back at around three o'clock in the afternoon, and brought back two pieces of good news. One was that Xie Kaixiao agreed to accompany Lu Jiaxin to Pengcheng; the other was that he had already asked for a ride, and there was a large truck delivering things to Sijiu the day after tomorrow. City, Xue Mao can reach this truck and go back.

This work efficiency is outstanding.

Gu Wenfeng said: "Miss Lu, I want to deliver the eight boxes of books to the designated place. But I can't use big wooden boxes to carry them, as it will be seen as troublesome. Let's put the study in sacks, and I will use a cart to pull them away. "

The reason why I didn't just take away the camphor wood box was because the neighbors and the Sun family knew what I bought these days. If you suddenly move out a few large camphor wood boxes, you will definitely be suspected. Once the truth is guessed, who knows what crazy things these people will do.

 Gu Wenfeng brought twenty sacks. Put all the books into sacks first, and put the unused sacks into garbage. It just so happened that there was a lot of **** in the house being repaired, so it wouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion.

Lu Jiaxin cooperated fully and even said that the boxes should be put back into the secret passage: "Brother Gu, when all the boxes are put into the secret passage, the fire bed in the room can be built."

 That afternoon, they built the fire pit. The next day, Gu Wenfeng and Xue Mao mixed the books and rice paper with the building materials garbage and hauled it out, and two hours later they brought back six baskets of fruit.

 After the fruits were brought back, the three of them started working. First, wrap the ink blocks and inkstones tightly with oil paper, then take out most of the fruit and put the oil paper separately inside. As for the three calligraphy and paintings, Xue Mao carried them in a duffel bag.

 After everything was done, it was past five o'clock, and Xue Mao went into the kitchen to cook again. Gu Wenfeng was also restless and began to clean up the yard.

Lu Jiaxin was too embarrassed to rest and was about to clean up together, but was stopped by Gu Wenfeng: "No, you can go inside and rest!"

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "This work is not heavy, it will be fine."

 Gu Wenfeng was really afraid that she would get hurt. These wooden boards were relatively heavy: "Go to the kitchen to help Xue Mao. I'm a little hungry."

Lu Jiaxin was also a little hungry, so she turned around and went to the kitchen to help.

 After dinner, Gu Wenfeng moved all the wood into the woodshed, which can be burned. The wood with carved patterns was washed and put into the house.

 After Xue Mao cleaned up the kitchen, he also cleaned up the yard. Lu Jiaxin lamented that people nowadays are really diligent. Unlike her, she doesn't want to move when she's sitting.
