Chapter 1313 Six Dragons
Tang Tianxia was very popular in Jinling. That was a few years ago. The most famous dish in the restaurant was also a soup called Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. The soup was adjusted with two ingredients at Li Mo's suggestion.
Among the Gu family, Li Mo and Gu Erge were relatively familiar with each other. During the holidays, Hu Erge would call to wish him a happy new year and send him blessing text messages.
They maintained a kind of contact, but not a very close relationship.
Li Mo remembered Gu Jiajia because he found a rare national treasure in Jinling more than ten years ago, Yang Guifei's lucky bracelet. At first, he wanted to find a piece of jewelry for Gu Jiajia as a birthday gift.
At the end of last year, Li Mo received a New Year's greeting text message from Hu Erge, but he didn't expect to hear the news that he had passed away.
"I'm in Shanghai now, where are you?"
"Mr. Li, I'm in Shanghai, I'm going to Shanghai to find you now, do you think it's okay? There are important things that can't be explained in one or two sentences."
Gu Jiajia controlled her emotions and said quickly.
"Okay, contact me when you get there."
"Okay."
Li Mo hung up the phone. Gu Erge was less than 50 years old, but he had passed away. Another old friend left.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Yingying saw that he looked a little unusual, and asked with concern. Li Mo told the content of the phone call just now, and finally sighed and said: "Life is impermanent. We live in the present and live every day well."
"If you come from Jinling now, you can arrive in the evening. Since that Gu Erge told his daughter before his death, you must help her no matter what." Liu Yingying thought for a while and continued, "How about this, if the matter is special and you are not convenient to take action, I will handle it at that time."
"The specific situation will be discussed after seeing her."
Originally, I went home to do something more interesting, but there was a small episode, so the interesting things had to be postponed. At about six o'clock in the evening, Li Mo received a call from Gu Jiajia again. After agreeing on a meeting place, he and Liu Yingying drove to the Peace Hotel on the Bund in Magic City.
To be honest, this hotel with a history of nearly 100 years has been renovated many times and has now become a landmark building on the Bund. People who enter here must have at least one of money and power.
Gu Jiajia asked to meet here, and Li Mo didn't think much about it. He and Liu Yingying walked into the lobby and saw a well-dressed young account manager greeted with a smile and asked respectfully: "Hello, distinguished guests, are you checking in or dining?"
"I have an appointment with a friend to meet here." Li Mo glanced at the information to her.
"This way."
She led the way in front, and when she was about to reach the box, she suddenly said: "Mr. Li, I am your fan, can we take a photo together?"
It turned out that she had recognized Li Mo.
"Of course, but it's just a photo."
"Don't worry, I'm just going back to show off to my family."
Li Mo took a photo with her readily, then knocked on the door of the box, and soon opened it to reveal a young and faintly familiar face.
"Gu Jiajia?"
"Hello, Mr. Li."
Gu Jiajia hurriedly bowed respectfully. If it was based on the root, she should call Li Mo Uncle Li. But the relationship between Li Mo and her father was far from close, so calling him uncle seemed too flattering.
Calculating the time, she would be 23 or 24 years old this year. Time flies so fast, and the little girl has grown up in a blink of an eye. There are two other people in the box, one is a young man, about 25 years old, and the other is a middle-aged woman in her 40s or 50s.
"Second Sister Gu!"
Second Sister Gu was indeed a little excited. She smiled at Li Mo and said, "Hello, Mr. Li."
"Second Sister Gu, just call me Li Mo, just like before, otherwise it would be too formal."
"This..."
Li Mo deliberately said unhappily, "I used to go to Jinling, but I often went to your place to eat."
"Okay, I'll call you by your name." Second Sister Gu was really worried that he would be angry, so she didn't insist on how to call him, "Hurry up and sit down, Jiajia, pour tea for your Uncle Li."
Good guy, with the blessing of Second Sister Gu, Li Mo's status was upgraded to an elder in an instant. She is so simple, after all, the seniority cannot be wrong.
Gu Jiajia didn't feel awkward at all. She quickly picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of freshly brewed black tea, and poured another cup for Liu Yingying.
"Li Mo, who is this girl?"
Second Sister Gu looked at Liu Yingying and felt that she looked a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her.
"Haha, Gu Ersao, take a closer look and see who she looks like?"
Li Mo did not spoil the story right away, but asked her to guess again.
Gu Ersao looked at her for a few times and said uncertainly: "Isn't it the daughter of your master?"
"You guessed it right. She has also acted in dramas and commercials before, and directed several web dramas herself."
Gu Ersao suddenly realized: "No wonder she looks familiar."
Since they are senior and junior brothers and sisters, the things that are said next are irrelevant.
"Gu Ersao, why did Gu Erge die?"
"He was in a car accident last month, and he died before he was sent to the hospital." Gu Ersao wiped her eyes, and she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when she mentioned the sad things, "The police have already investigated it clearly, and the other party is fully responsible and has paid a lot of compensation. But since the person is gone, there is no point in asking for more compensation."
"People can't be resurrected after death, but life must go on. You should think more positively, Mrs. Gu." Li Mo picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "Jia Jia, what's the important thing you're talking about? See if I can help you a little."
"Jia Jia, take out the painting for your uncle Li to identify."
Are you going to identify a painting?
Gu Jia Jia picked up a long box from the chair next to her and gently placed it on the dining table, then unlocked it and took out a scroll painting from it.
"Uncle Li, can you take a look at this painting first?"
"Don't move, I'll do it."
Seeing that she was about to open it, Li Mo quickly stopped her, then he took out a pair of clean white gloves from his bag, took the scroll painting from Gu Jia Jia's hand, and then gently opened it.
Seeing that he was so serious, Gu Jia Jia immediately showed shame. Before, they had opened the scroll painting directly with their bare hands, hoping that they had not damaged the painting.
The painting in front of them was about 440 cm long and 34 cm wide. The painting is in front of the whole painting, and the calligraphy is in the back. The calligraphy is about 83 cm long and 35 cm wide. At the end of the painting are the Tibetan seals and the appraisal seals. There are not only the inscriptions of Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty and the ministers, but also an ancient poem inscribed by the author himself.
Of course, there is also the Tibetan seal that Li Mo is most familiar with, which is the handwriting of Emperor Qianlong. There is also the Tibetan seal of Prince Gong in the back. If these two Tibetan seals are authenticated as authentic, the origin of this painting is not simple.
There are six dragons painted on the picture, which not only shows the expressions and movements of the six dragons, but also focuses on depicting the scenery next to the six dragons, such as the lingering mist and the appearance of the stones, which further set off the different postures of the six dragons. The whole painting uses dry and wet ink from different angles to show the clouds, rocks and turbulent water, and vividly depicts the scene of the six dragons playing and playing.
Li Mo seemed to see six lifelike dragons flying through the clouds and mist.
"This is the masterpiece 'Six Dragons' by Chen Rong, a master of dragon painting in the Southern Song Dynasty."
