Chapter 124 Painting
...
Every family has a difficult sutra to recite. No matter whether he is rich or powerful, as long as he is still alive, there will always be troubles in his heart.
Jiangcheng Mayor Gao Ziyi has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years. He climbed from a small department level in the agency to the mayor position. It seems that his career is bright, and only he knows the joys and hardships. Besides, his beautiful, virtuous and pure wife Zhou Qiping, who was the largest beauty in Jiangcheng in the past. It is a blessing to marry such a beauty. I don’t know how many young and old men in Jiangcheng envy them.
The so-called "waking up to control the world's power and lying drunk on the beauty's mind is in the eyes of others. Although Gao Ziyi does not fully deserve this sentence, the meaning is almost the same.
But in fact, it is extremely glamorous on the surface, but in the dark, it is a troublesome family matters and it is hard to rest in my heart.
As he grew older, Gao Ziyi found that his body was getting worse and worse. He became increasingly unable to do sexual intercourse. He was once a week, but later it was once a month, and then it was once a month. Now, he didn't do it once every six months.
Two years ago, in order to secretly give birth to a son, he kept a woman outside without telling her wife Zhou Qiping, and wanted to borrow the woman's belly and leave a descendant for his Gao family.
Unexpectedly, although the woman was very excited, she could not get pregnant. Gao Ziyi naturally neglected his wife because she had to take care of her, so that he had touched Zhou Qiping once almost a year.
It is said that women can suck soil while sitting on the ground with thirty or forty or fifty. Not to mention that they are Zhou Qiping, a healthy and energetic young woman who is just over thirty, may not be satisfied even once a day. If the body is not satisfied, they will complain psychologically. Today, Zhou Qiping has changed her virtuous nature again, ignored everything and pretended to be sick and could not get up.
Today is a holiday, so Gao Ziyi didn't have to go to the municipal compound, but he just wanted to go out shopping with his wife to strengthen the relationship between the couple. Unexpectedly, his wife pretended to be sick and refused.
Gao Ziyi was raising a woman outsourcing her, and felt ashamed of her wife. At this time, she did not dare to lose her temper. She sighed and came to the study. Whenever she was in a bad mood, she always expressed her feelings for calligraphy and painting.
Just as I was busy painting, I heard from the nanny at home that a guest who claimed to be Tang Wan came to visit with a young man.
Gao Ziyi's "orchid and bamboo picture" was about to take shape, but was suddenly interrupted. He frowned and waved to the nanny, "Please come to the study."
The pretty nanny withdrew after hearing this, and in a moment, she brought Tang Wan and Jiang Feng into the study.
"Mayor Gao, I'm disturbing." Tang Wan smiled apologetically.
"Uh..." Gao Ziyi was busy painting and didn't raise his head, just uh.
The two of them were a little embarrassed.
Tang Wan often came into contact with those in power, so she was used to such a cold face. Moreover, people were busy painting and did not deliberately pretend to ignore them, so they felt relieved.
But Jiang Feng was different. He was at the age of a arrogant person, so he could not bear such cold treatment. He immediately cursed in his heart, "Damn, why do officials always act like a stubborn and arrogant. When guests come to your house, it's okay if you don't go out to greet them, but you don't even say hello. Damn, how come you are here to give gifts to others, this is using a hot face to stick someone's cold butt!
Tang Wan gave Jiang Feng a look and signaled him not to act irritably. Then he walked to the desk and glanced at the painting that was about to be finished. Finally, his eyes turned to Gao Ziyi, who was bent down and focused on painting. He felt a little happy in his heart. He suddenly felt that the "Picture of Stepping on the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms" in his hand today was the right gift. Although he was happy, he did not show any pride on the surface and said, "Mayor Gao is so elegant..."
"Yes." Gao Ziyi nodded lightly, still not raising his head.
The two of them felt embarrassed again.
Jiang Feng was even more angry. He had never been ridiculed like this when he got so old. Although the person he ridiculed just now was Tang Wan, he was also an indirect person who ridiculed him. Damn, I have seen someone who was neglected, but I have never seen you too neglected. If I hadn't achieved the goal of revenge, how could I come here to see you with such a cold face?
After finishing the last stroke, he stood up straight and breathed a long sigh of relief. Gao Ziyi then squeezed out a smile: "Sorry, you two have been waiting for a long time."
Damn, there is finally something human being said, but it is not sincere.
Jiang Feng looked unhappy.
"It's okay," Tang Wan waved her hand with an indifferent expression, expressing her disregard.
"Hey? Xiao Tang, what are you holding?" Gao Ziyi discovered the secondary scroll of the painting in Tang Wan's hand. His eyes shone, as if Columbus had discovered the New World.
Beautiful means beauty. No matter where Tang Wan goes, she will receive a sound of praise and stunning gaze.
However, when you see a beautiful girl, you don’t look amazing. You don’t know if you see a beautiful painting and your eyes shine. This shows that Gao Ziyi’s love for paintings is no less than that for women.
"Well, this is the purpose we are here today." Tang Wan said as she opened the painting in her hand: "I have heard that Mayor Gao likes to collect paintings, so I kept my mind. Last month, I accidentally got a painting, which was Xiao Chen's "Steping on the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms" by Xiao Chen of the Qing Dynasty. Today, I want to present this painting to you, the collector of ancient paintings."
"Xiao Chen's "Studying the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms", Gao Ziyi's eyes condensed on the paintings that he opened. Xi'ai is the best teacher. Although Gao Ziyi, who likes ancient painting collections, did not vote for a good teacher, he was self-taught. He still has a certain level of research on ancient paintings. Therefore, he just took a look and confirmed that the painting in front of him must not be a imitation.
So Gao Ziyi became interested and took it from Tang Wan and looked at it carefully. A smile of surprise gradually appeared on his face, because he was sure that this painting was indeed the original work of Xiao Chen of the Qing Dynasty.
"Give it to me..." Gao Ziyi's surprise retreated like a tide. He was quite reluctant and very simply rolled up the painting and sent it to Tang Wan, "How dare you take this?"
Tang Wan naturally didn't go to take the painting and smiled and said, "It's not other things. I think Mayor Gao is an expert in knowing things, so he intends to give it to him..."
"I heard you are also a fan of ancient paintings," Gao Ziyi said: "I, I am a bit of a lovely person."
After saying that, Gao Ziyi shook his head and waved his hand, looking like he was unwilling to accept it.
When Jiang Feng saw his pretended aloof attitude, he felt even more angry.
Damn, you really know how to pretend. You obviously want it very much, but you also look noble. Do you think you will be a clean official if you do this?
Of course, Gao Ziyi was not a clean official. He had received a lot of benefits from the Yao family before. Now, the investment convenience he had to consider when renovating the old city was Bai Ge Group, so he could get a considerable "consecration" from the Yao family. This so-called consecration is naturally not comparable to a painting worth about one million yuan. He likes ancient paintings and has a heavy taste. Although he likes Xiao Chen's "Picture of Grassing the Snow" also, it is not enough to make him moved.
"Oh, Mayor Gao, you won't even give up on this face, right?" Tang Wan refused to give up.
She knew that she was not as rich as the Yao family, nor was she generous in her actions. Moreover, the Yao family had preconceived ideas and their relationship with Gao Ziyi was not comparable to that of the Tang family. Therefore, if you give money, even if you give more than the Yao family, it may not arouse Gao Ziyi's interest, so she wanted to use this painting to impress Gao Ziyi.
"Okay, Xiao Gao, I still have to paint, so I won't send you two." Gao Ziyi actually issued an order to expel guests.
At this moment, Tang Wan bit her lower lip, looked discouraged, and gave Jiang Feng a wink, signaling them to leave.
Jiang Feng stood still. He stared at Gao Ziyi with his eyes and sneered:
"Mayor Gao must have thought this painting was cheap, so he refused to accept it."
Jiang Feng's words shocked Tang Wan and complained in his heart, "You are too good at speaking, it would be strange if you don't offend others like this." She stared at Gao Ziyi nervously, afraid that he would be angry."
Unexpectedly, the smart Gao Ziyi smiled and said, "On the contrary, this painting is too expensive, so he dare not accept it."
"Then, Mayor Gao means that if it is a worthless painting, you will accept it." Jiang Feng asked with a sneer.
Gao Ziyi turned his face and stared at Jiang Feng. He didn't expect that Jiang Feng was so ignorant. His order to expel guests had been issued. He was still silly and refused to leave. He was also talking about the reason with him here. His face became unhappy and said calmly: "Even if you said it!"
Tang Wan didn't know what Jiang Feng was going to do, but it seemed that she was going to be serious with Gao Ziyi. She felt a deep heart, and she winked at Jiang Feng and signaled that he would leave with him, so how could Jiang Cheng's parents be able to afford to offend him?
Jiang Fengli ignored him and said to Gao Ziyi: "Okay, I'll draw a painting now. It's not worth a penny, and I'll give you this painting!"
After Jiang Feng said that, regardless of whether Gao Ziyi agreed or not, he stepped onto the painting table, took out a piece of rice paper and spread it on the painting, picked up the pen and started drawing.
