Chapter 840 Going to the Xiao Family(1/2)
Under Meng Yi's expectant eyes, He Fan directly agreed to the old man's request.
"Old man, there is no need for exchange. Since you value my paintings, I will give you one as a meeting gift."
After the words fell, He Fan walked to the desk, spread out the rice paper, picked up his pen and asked Mr. Jiang: "Old man, what picture do you want to draw?"
Jiang Huaifeng was very happy to see He Fan being so refreshing and agile.
And he just thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Then give me a picture of a pine and crane, old man!"
Speaking of this, the old man continued: "But the old man can't take advantage of you. When the time comes, you have to go to my house to pick out two calligraphy and paintings. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease keeping this painting."
He Fan wanted to say something more, but saw Meng Yi slightly nodding towards him.
Seeing this scene, He Fan took back what he said.
He stopped talking, but immediately picked up his pen and began to move around on the rice paper.
When He Fan started to write, Mr. Jiang stared intently, trying to see if he could get some inspiration from it.
After all, a master is a teacher. Mr. Jiang doesn’t think there is anything wrong with this. If he can learn something from it, that would be great...
The picture of pine and crane is much simpler than the picture of birds facing phoenix, so it doesn't take that long.
A painting of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix took two and a half hours, but a painting of pine and cranes was almost completed after just over half an hour.
Looking at the pine and crane painting that was about to be completed, Mr. Jiang also suppressed his excitement.
However, Meng Yi didn't have that patience. He had already picked up his phone and started shooting videos to post to Moments.
He has already thought of the title, just write about the new generation of painting masters!
He Fan didn't know that Meng Yi had also sent him a WeChat Moment. At this moment, he was carefully completing the finishing process of the Songhe Picture...
After almost five minutes, he put away his pen and breathed out a sigh of relief.
Looking at the newly released picture of pine and crane in front of him, He Fan nodded with satisfaction.
Not bad, not down to standard!
Although it is not as good as the picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix just now, compared with the picture of tigers ascending the mountain just now, it is not an exaggeration.
When Mr. Jiang on the side saw He Fan put down his pen, he couldn't wait to step forward and asked: "Are you ready?"
Although he was asking He Fan, the old man's eyes were fixed on the painting of pine and crane on the table.
He Fan smiled and nodded and said, "All that's left is to leave the money and seal it."
"Hurry up then!"
Mr. Jiang urged with a somewhat excited tone.
After all, if it is completed earlier, he can take the painting for processing earlier. At the very least, it needs to be framed, so that he doesn't have to worry about accidentally damaging the painting.
He Fan didn't hesitate, just stretched his aching wrist, and immediately started to leave money and stamp on the Song and Crane Picture.
Complete the final steps in one go.
But at this moment, the old man did not immediately pick up the painting.
After all, the ink on the painting has not dried yet. If you accidentally smear the ink, all your efforts will be wasted.
He just turned to Meng Yi and ordered: "Xiao Meng, let me keep this painting for you for now. When the ink dries, I will take it away, old man."
When Meng Yi heard these words, he immediately understood that the old man was declaring sovereignty.
He shook his head and laughed, but he didn't expect that the old man was acting like an old child, for fear that the painting would be robbed.
He nodded and smiled at the old man: "Don't worry, I will guarantee that this painting will not be lost."
The old man is not embarrassed. After all, in his eyes, this picture of pine and crane is much more valuable than the ordinary antique calligraphy and paintings in his home.
However, he didn't say anything more to Meng Yi. Instead, he turned to He Fan and said, "Boy He, come to my house with the old man when you have time. Old man, I will personally pick out two calligraphy and paintings for you."
He Fan hesitated for a moment, then raised his wrist to look at the time on his watch, then raised his head and politely declined to Mr. Jiang: "Old man, I may not be able to do it today, I have something to do later."
Hearing this, Mr. Jiang immediately frowned, thinking that He Fan was trying to evade.
But now Meng Yi explained for He Fan: "Grandpa Jiang, didn't I just say that the picture of a tiger climbing up the mountain that Xiaofan drew was for Grandpa Xiao. He is going to Xiao's house later."
When Jiang Huaifeng heard this, his frown relaxed.
It's not an excuse. Anyway, if you don't go today, you can go tomorrow. He will be at home during this time.
"That's it!"
Mr. Jiang turned to Meng Yi and said, "Xiao Meng, take Mr. He to my house tomorrow."
Meng Yi nodded, he wished He Fan could have a good relationship with the Jiang family.
Especially Mr. Jiang's eldest son is now a first-class official. If He Fan can use this to get in touch with him, that would be even better.
But Meng Yi just thought about it.
After all, Mr. Jiang's eldest son is usually very busy and rarely comes home a few times throughout the year. The chance of He Fan meeting him is very slim...
The few of them chatted for a while, and after the ink on the painting of pine and crane dried, Mr. Jiang left with the painting.
After all, he also knew that He Fan was going to Xiao's house later, so he didn't want to stay any longer, lest He Fan miss his time.
As soon as Mr. Jiang left, He Fan tidied up a little and headed to Xiao's house with the picture of a tiger ascending the mountain.
But when he went to Xiao's house, Meng Yi personally drove him there.
He Fan originally wanted to refuse, but Meng Yi insisted again and again, and he had a reason.
"Brother, the picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix you gave me is too valuable. If I don't do something for you, I will really feel uneasy as a brother." Meng Yi said.
Hearing this, He Fan said nothing more.
Although he didn't know how much his painting was worth, judging from the attitudes shown by Meng Yi and Mr. Jiang today, it should be quite valuable.
Therefore, He Fan also expressed his understanding for Meng Yi's repeated persistence...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The car drove slowly on the road, and after about half an hour, it arrived at the entrance of a courtyard.
Looking at the deep courtyard in front of him, He Fan suddenly realized that this place was not far from the Meng family's old residence, and it was considered to be on the same street.
"I'll go back to my old house to see my grandpa later. When you leave, give me a call and I'll come and pick you up." Meng Yi stopped the car and said to He Fan.
"No need to go to such trouble, I'll just ask the driver to pick me up." He Fan responded.
"It's no trouble. I just want to have some fun with you tonight. I was delayed by trivial matters the past two days." Meng Yi said with a smile.
Hearing this, He Fan no longer refused.
"Okay, Brother Meng, please slow down on the road!"
While talking, He Fan also opened the passenger door and got out of the car. At the same time, he did not forget to hold the picture of a tiger going up the mountain in his hand.
After all, it would be great fun if you find out that you forgot to bring a gift after you come to the door...
After Meng Yi drove away, He Fan also took out his mobile phone and called Xiao Hongyue.
The phone rang a few times and was answered.
When Xiao Hongyue learned that He Fan had arrived at the door, she immediately ran out of the house.
Seeing He Fan standing at the door, Xiao Hongyue hurriedly greeted him.
"You didn't say anything in advance on the way here so that I could come out to pick you up early and let you stand at the door." Xiao Hongyue said with a smile.
"We are all friends, we don't need to be so outgoing." He Fan said with a smile, and at the same time handed over the painting in his hand: "I heard from Brother Meng that your grandpa likes calligraphy and painting, so I painted one to show off my shame."
Xiao Hongyue took the scroll and looked at He Fan in surprise: "Did you draw it yourself?"
After all, she never thought that He Fan could also draw.
He Fan nodded, not feeling embarrassed at all.
After all, judging from the reactions of Meng Yi and Mr. Jiang, it would not be rude to treat his painting as a door-to-door gift.
"Go in first. My grandpa learned that you were coming today, so he specially waited for you." Xiao Hongyue said with a smile, and at the same time led He Fan towards the door.
When he walked to the door, He Fan discovered that there were two guards standing on both sides of the door, and they were still carrying guys.
And when He Fan was about to walk in, two guards stepped forward to stop him.
Xiao Hongyue said to He Fan apologetically: "I need your cooperation. I just use an instrument to check whether there are any dangerous items on my body."
He Fan expressed his understanding. After all, Mr. Xiao has a different identity. If you want to see him, you have to check him out. Otherwise, no one will be able to take responsibility if something goes wrong.
The two guards also fulfilled their duties, and He Fan had no need to embarrass the other party, and at the same time, he couldn't afford to embarrass the other!
After all, the thing the other person is holding is not a toy.
He Fan is sure that if he dares to cause trouble here, the other party will still give you a hard time regardless of whether you are the richest man or not.
Therefore, with He Fan's cooperation, this inspection was completed quickly.
Fortunately, he didn't carry anything dangerous, so the two guards quickly let him go.
After entering Xiao's house, He Fan suddenly became a little nervous.
After all, unlike Mr. Meng, Mr. Xiao is still in office.
