Chapter 616
Jiang Chengzhe likes collection, and calligraphy and painting are the mainstream in the collection industry, so in his collection room, there are already two paintings of Qi Baishi.
Logically speaking, the painting given by Cizel is not unusual. Although this painting is not big, it is the pinnacle of the old man Baishi's later years, with the wonderful ink and painting all in that small inch.
Jiang Chengzhe immediately couldn't put it down after seeing it. The size of the painting was small and the price was not exaggerated. Even if Jiang Chengzhe accepted it, he would not have any burden.
It can be said that the gift given by Cizel not only aims at preference, but also provides appropriate delivery, which can be said to have been taken into account in all aspects.
Jiang Chengzhe looked at him with more intimate appreciation, as if he was looking at his close children and nephews at home, and insisted on pulling Xizer to taste tea.
Just now Su Ling is here.
She was in the kitchen watching the chefs prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner... Yes, just look, otherwise on important days like New Year’s Eve, her family would never dare to let her get close to the kitchen.
The dining table is almost ready, and after the chefs are finished, it's time for these chefs to go home. Su Ling couldn't help but wonder how long it will take for Jiang Tang and Jiang Xiluo to get home. Just as she was thinking of calling her two daughters, she heard the movements in the direction of the living room first.
As soon as she came over, she saw many gift bags placed on the table on the ground, and Jiang Chengzhe who was immersed in tea tasting and painting appreciation.
Jiang Chengzhe was in a state of mind, and he didn't notice Su Ling's approaching. It was Xizer next to him who noticed it first and quickly got up and greeted him.
Su Ling said in surprise: "All these are the things you brought with you Xiaoxi?"
Xizel nodded and brought up the gift he prepared for Su Ling: "It's just some thoughts, aunt, don't refuse."
It is said that Xizel prepared the gift this time according to the preferences of everyone in the Jiang family.
Su Ling likes nothing more than paintings and antiques and jewelry, and Cizel gave her one.
The painting is the work of the cutting-edge artist he accompanied Su Ling to see, and it is also the work that Su Ling had been watching the exhibition for the longest time that day.
Afterwards, Su Ling asked the artist himself that the other party did not intend to sell the work, so Su Ling had to give up. However, she didn't expect that Cizel did not know what method to convince the artist to change his mind and let the work appear here.
As for the jewelry, it looked like a plain gem flower brooch lying in a black velvet box, but Su Ling was extremely surprised when she saw it.
Although Su Ling rarely appears in front of the public media, she is a well-known contemporary master in the painting world, and her family background is well known to everyone over the years.
After all, the entire Su family is considered a well-known family overseas, with many talented families. The identity of Su Ling's mother, who is also a grandmother Jiang Tang's collector is not a secret in the eyes of many insiders.
This brooch is the collection of Su Ling's deceased mother.
When Su Ling was young, she saw her mother playing with her love with her own eyes. She often wore it with her on weekdays, which was enough to show her love. However, Su Ling's mother later gave the brooch to a friend.
Later, the friend moved his family to another country, and not long after, news came that his friend died of illness. When Su Ling's mother went to pay her condolences, she saw that her children were almost typing their brains for the family property.
She sighed that her friend was worthless, and she didn't know where the brooch went. It was not until Su Ling's mother heard that the children of her late friend were living in poverty and made a living by selling her family property that she guessed that the brooch might have been sold by them.
Su Ling's mother tried to find it, and even Su Ling helped her find it, but unfortunately she was missing. Later, on the eve of Su Ling's mother's death, she was still thinking about it. Su Ling thought that this brooch would become her regret from now on. Who would have thought that it was Xizel who brought it to her?
Although brooches are collectibles, they are not expensive.
For Su Ling, the real preciousness of this brooch lies in the regrets and nostalgia of her mother on it, and also her remembrance and remembrance of her mother, which is something that cannot be measured by money.
Su Ling carefully picked up the brooch from the box, groped it carefully with her hands, and sure enough, she touched the traces of the bumps when she accidentally dropped the brooch on the platinum base.
In a trance, she seemed to remember the worry and fear of breaking the brooch, and the gentle voice of her mother carefully comforting her, which was a more precious memory than a gem.
but……
Su Ling's eyes looked at Cizel were very complicated.
"How did you know it?"
"I went back to the old house some time ago, but I didn't expect to see your photo of Auntie there..."
Cizel tells the story—
Interpersonal relationships are a circle, just like Su Ling once learned painting from Old Henry for a period of time because of her elders, and Old Henry had a deep relationship with the Robert family behind Cizel.
The Su family and the Robert family also had an intersection, including the Jiang family, who had had several dealings with the Robert family. It can be said that everyone knew each other in a turn.
After Xizel accidentally discovered the relationship between the family, he took the initiative to ask David if he knew Jiang Tang's parents, and at that time he knew that there were photos of Su Ling at home.
The photo was left by Su Ling when she was a girl when she was attending a Robert family party. Her mother was also with her. At that time, the brooch was pinned on her mother's chest.
Thanks to the family's good memory of these photos and the development of modern AI intelligent technology, Xizer discovered more Su Ling and her mother from a huge number of photos at home in a short time.
In fact, compared to Su Ling, Su Ling's mother appears at home more frequently. Only then did Xizer realize that Su Ling's mother has a good relationship with an aunt in her family.
This brooch appeared again and again with the photos, which made Cizel remember, followed the direction and finally found its whereabouts.
When Cizel got it, he knew that this brooch would be a very good gift for Jiang Tang's mother.
So he specially chose to use brooch as an assist prop at a critical moment like visiting the Spring Festival.
I have to say that the effect is very good.
If the value is used to quantify the Jiang family's favorability for Xizer, the full score is 100-
Su Ling is 80, with good feelings and satisfaction, but not yet as close as a family member.
Jiang Chengzhe is about 70, and his paintings of Pu'er tea bricks and Qi Baishi have brought the favorable feeling on the passing line to the current level.
Jiang Xijing should be negative, and has no good impression of Xizer, and is even a little vigilant about scrutiny.
Jiang Xiluo should be 0, which is the so-called inescapable.
After Cizel gave this antique brooch, Su Ling's favor for Cizel undoubtedly soared to 90!
