Chapter 74 Honesty

The price of antique paintings and calligraphy will definitely increase. Especially for ancient paintings, as long as they are authentic works by famous artists, they will increase by hundreds or thousands of times in 20 to 30 years!

Lu Jiaxin said: "If the other party does not sell their own collection, it is okay if they cannot buy it back. If they want to sell, I don't have enough money, so I can help find buyers at that time, and never let the things flow abroad."

Even if the price increases by a thousand times, she can afford it if the other party wants to sell it in the future. Predicting the future is her biggest trump card.

Xue Mao, who had been silent, interrupted and said: "If they sell it to Hong Kong businessmen and they take it back to Hong Kong City, isn't it equivalent to flowing abroad?"

Lu Jiaxin was very upset: "Read more books in the future, otherwise people will not deal with you in the future if they know you are so ignorant."

After that, she explained: "Hong Kong City is our country, but it was leased to Britain more than 80 years ago, and we will take it back in 13 years. Therefore, the people of Hong Kong City are our compatriots, and selling it to them is just a transfer from left hand to right hand, and it is still in our country."

Xue Mao regretted that he had spoken. Just let him study, and the thought of going to class is as big as a cow.

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

Lu Jiaxin secretly said that it was a good thing that she was not going to mix the system, there were too many rules. Not only that, many people were particularly stubborn, and there were too many obstacles to accomplishing a thing.

After discussing it, Gu Wenfeng took the porcelain one by one. It was also difficult to bring porcelain, otherwise she really wanted to take the two-ear porcelain vase back to arrange flowers.

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

Lu Jiaxin felt that this was not a problem at all: "Tomorrow we will go to the antique market and pick some calligraphy and paintings and porcelain vases to take back as decorations. When buying paintings, I was lucky enough to find a famous artist's original work. In order to make more money, I went to Pengcheng."

The handicrafts bought were used for decoration, and the calligraphy and paintings were hidden. Her house has a vegetable cellar, which was used by the previous owner to store vegetables. The ink sticks and inkstones are temporarily placed in the cellar. I don’t know if the banks in Sijiu City have safe deposit business now. If they do, I will put them in the bank safe when I make money. If not, I will hide them in a secret place when the time comes.

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

Lu Jiaxin said there was no reliable person.

Gu Wenfeng immediately responded: "If you trust me, I will find one for you. No wages, just give them two owners."

"Brother Gu is joking. If you can't trust me, then I really don't know who to trust."

The next day, Gu Wenfeng went out early, and Lu Jiaxin wanted to go to the antique market with Xue Mao. Unfortunately, Xue Mao disagreed. There are so many treasures in the house. What if a thief steals everything?

Unable to convince him, Lu Jiaxin couldn't go alone, so she had to stay at home.

Xue Mao asked curiously, "Sister, how much do you think a painting can sell for?"

Knowing that he was not good at psychology, Lu Jiaxin said, "Twenty thousand is the minimum."

This time she planned to bring ink paintings, birthday paintings and the five-clawed dragon ink block. The psychological price of a painting was fifty thousand. But for a painting like Zhao Ji, she would not sell it even if she was given one million now. Once such a masterpiece is sold, it can never be bought back.

Xue Mao couldn't speak clearly: "How much, how much?"

Twenty thousand for a painting, five paintings would be one hundred thousand. If it is stolen...Thinking of this, Xue Mao felt that he should guard these treasures all the time.

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

"You are so nervous that it will easily arouse suspicion. If we return to Sijiu City and fall into the eyes of those who have ulterior motives, we will not be able to keep these treasures. "

Xue Mao sighed and thought for a while and said, "Sister, those two families are not honest, so it is better to be cautious. No one can leave home before returning to Sijiu City."

Lu Jiaxin knew his temper and agreed reluctantly. Fortunately, Gu Wenfeng has an acquaintance here, and the other party is quite capable. It should not take too long to get a ride.

Gu Wenfeng came back at around 3 pm and brought back two good news. One is that Xie Kaixiao agreed to let him accompany Lu Jiaxin to Pengcheng; the other is that he has already asked for a ride. There will be a large truck delivering things to Sijiu City the day after tomorrow, and Xue Mao can take this truck back.

This is very efficient.

Gu Wenfeng said, "Miss Lu, I want to deliver the eight boxes of books to the designated location. But we can't use large wooden boxes to carry them, otherwise it will be troublesome if people see it. Let's put the books in the study sack and I will use a cart to pull them away. "

The reason why we didn't just take the camphorwood boxes away was because the neighbors and the two branches of the Sun family knew what we bought these days. If we suddenly moved out a few large camphorwood boxes, we would definitely be suspected. Once the truth was guessed, who knows what crazy things these people would do.

Gu Wenfeng brought twenty sacks. First put all the books into the sacks, and put the unused sacks into the garbage. It happened that there was a lot of garbage in the house renovation, so it wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Lu Jiaxin fully cooperated and said to put all the boxes back to the secret passage: "Brother Gu, after all the boxes are put into the secret passage, the kang in the room can be built."

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

After the fruits were brought back, the three people started to work. First, they wrapped the inkstones tightly with oil paper, then took out most of the fruits and put the oil paper inside. As for the three paintings, Xue Mao put them in a luggage bag and carried them close to his body.

After everything was ready, it was past five o'clock, and Xue Mao went into the kitchen to cook again. Gu Wenfeng was also a person who couldn't sit still, and started to clean up the yard.

Lu Jiaxin was embarrassed to rest, and was ready to clean up together, but was stopped by Gu Wenfeng: "No, you go into the house and rest!"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said: "This work is not heavy, it's okay."

Gu Wenfeng was really afraid that she would get hurt, these wooden boards were heavy: "You 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 wood room, all of which could be burned. Those wood with carved patterns were washed and put into the house.

After Xue Mao cleaned up the kitchen, he also cleaned up the yard. Lu Jiaxin sighed, people nowadays are really hardworking. Unlike her, she didn't want to move after sitting.
