Unexpectedly, right after Yu Nian finished speaking, the screen went dark again—Xie You smashed another 999 diamonds.
Seeing the exploding barrage, Yu Nian turned his face away and smiled. He took his mobile phone and quickly sent a message to Xie You, "Probably, I'm going to be on the headlines tomorrow."
Xie You didn't return.
Yu Young smiled—is this a guilty conscience
Until Yu Nian finished filming Fu Nashi's poster, the phone remained silent. After thinking about it for a while, Yu Nian sent another message to Xie You, "The poster is finished shooting, work is over".
This time, Xie You replied in seconds, "Have a good rest."
After reading the content, Yu Nian held his phone and laughed out loud.
After having dinner with the staff, and confirming again that there is no need to retake the film, Yu Nian took the car back home. Not long after, Rong Yue also arrived.
"Uncle Rong, long time no see."
After welcoming people in, Yu Nian found out the celadon tea set and brewed a pot of tea for Rong Yue, and handed it to Rong Yue with both hands.
Yu Nian smiled and said, "How are you doing recently?"
"It's not bad, but the weather is very cold and I have another cough, but it's better than last year, maybe next year I won't cough." Rong Yue took a sip of the hot tea and looked at Yu Nian with a smile, "Not bad, he looks good, It seems to be handsome again!"
He talked about the business, "Drunken Horse Touring Spring" has been filmed?"
Yu Nian nodded, "Yes, it's back."
"I just heard from the curator of Ganzhou that it was not easy this time. There have been several rounds of bidding, and the price has gone up a lot."
"Yes, it's a bit higher than I expected. But as far as the value of the painting itself is concerned, this price is not a problem." Yu Nian sat upright and smiled calmly, "So I don't have enough money, so I borrowed a large sum of money. Money. It is estimated that a few things have to be transferred out to fill this hole."
Rong Yue can roughly figure out how much the "big sum of money" Yu Nian said was. Thinking of the past few years, he sighed softly, ""The Picture of Continuous Rain in Rivers and Mountains", "The Picture of Ladies", the fishtail vase with landscape pattern, the jade vase with singing birds, the vase with pine and crane in clouds, and this time "Drunk Horse Touring Spring" ", nine pieces have been brought back six pieces, it is really hard for you."
Yu Nian shook his head with a smile, "There's nothing hard or hard to do. On the contrary, having this goal will make me work harder and become stronger."
The tea smoke curled up, and Yu Nian's eyebrows and eyes were clear, "Actually, before my grandfather left, he told me that he didn't want his wishes to become my shackles. Life is not long, so I should live my life freely and freely. Grandma also said similar things. .”
Yu Nian tilted his head, "But, how should I put it, what I've seen, heard, and learned since I was a child tells me that I must do this."
He laughed and said, "Probably just like you, Uncle Rong, once you get into this pit, you won't be able to get up."
Rong Yue stared, "Are you still joking about your Uncle Rong?" He turned into a smile again, "Indeed, these years, while appraising and buying and selling antiques to make a living, I tried every means to bring back all the cultural relics that were strayed out. This pit, I don’t want to climb up.”
After drinking another cup of hot tea, Rong Yue persuaded, "But you are still young, and the colorful world is waiting for you to experience it, so don't be too harsh on yourself."
"No harsh treatment," Yu Nian said with a smile, "I don't have any extra requirements for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. It is enough to keep my body warm, my stomach full, and shelter from the wind and rain. So I have money, and I don't have anything to spend it on."
Seeing that Rong Yue still looked worried, Yu Nian continued, "Actually, just like my sister liked to buy sports cars for a while, she would work hard to earn and save money. I have a college classmate who is obsessed with hand-made figures. Half a month's steamed buns save money, and I go to a part-time job every day after class to distribute leaflets to make money. And Uncle Rong, haven't you been crazy about snuff bottles for a while, and you are so economical that you don't even smoke.
So in comparison, I am the same. It's just that the things I want to buy are probably richer in cultural and historical value and more expensive. But in the end, it's nothing more than 'I like' and 'I do'. "
Rong Yue looked at the clear and bright young man in front of him, and suddenly remembered the scene when he first saw Yu Nian.
At that time, Sining Mansion was still called Yu Mansion, and he nervously came to visit Mr. Xiu Ning with his book in his arms. Entering the courtyard, there are lush flowers and trees everywhere, with luxuriant branches and leaves, as if completely isolating the hustle and bustle of the world.
A little boy was lying on the grass looking at ants. Seeing an outsider, he stood up gracefully and said politely, "Who are you looking for?"
After explaining his reason for coming, Yu Nian took him to the study room. It was the first time he saw Mr. Xiu Ning. The other party was completely different from what he thought. He was wearing an ordinary white cloth shirt and was studying the ancient scroll with a magnifying glass. At hand is a pot of tea, a pair of pen and ink, the ink on the paper is still wet.
And in the blink of an eye, the little boy who hadn't reached his waist had grown up.
"Yes, yes, what you said makes sense. No matter what, there is nothing more than 'I like' and 'I am willing'." Rong Yue stopped talking, and asked instead, "Then let's see something now?"
"alright, please wait."
Yu Nian got up, took out the things that had been sorted out, put them on the table, and introduced in detail, "Everyone in our family has the habit of using antiquities and cherishes them very much. Probably, things are passed down from generation to generation, and they are naturally became an antique.
I looked through my great-grandfather’s handbook, and there was a record on it that these two inkstones were old things more than 400 years ago, and they have been used intermittently. . "
Rong Yue nodded, "Duan inkstones have become more and more valuable in the past ten years, and more and more collectors have begun to focus on these ancient literati's things."
"Yes," Yu Nian brought over the well-preserved ancient books, "these five sets of ancient books have always been kept at home, but none of them are isolated copies. They are the memorials of the former court about five hundred years ago, and they are printed with copper movable type. Beautifully printed."
Rong Yue looked at the things placed in front of him, almost stopped breathing, and smiled wryly, "It's really tormenting, but unfortunately I don't have so much money, otherwise I would buy them all back as family heirlooms!"
"If I sell it to you, Uncle Rong, I'm afraid I'll be more at ease. I really don't want to." Yu Nian touched the inkstone carefully, "I remember when I was young, I used this inkstone to write calligraphy. Grandpa also said that my mother learned calligraphy when she was young. , I also used this inkstone, and I just started to learn, and I wrote the three characters 'Yu Tayue' very well."
Rong Yue comforted him, "Every year, I promise, I will find a good buyer. About a week later, there will be a special auction of ancient inkstones and inkstones from Qingshan Qingwan, and things from the Qingshan Yu family will be auctioned. Those old collectors I don’t know how excited I am, but I will definitely come.”
"That's good." Yu Nian didn't look at the thing in front of him again, but said, "When I make money, I'll see if I can buy it back at a higher price. Rather than give up a stone, I sold two inkstones at once. My ancestors are going to come into my dreams at night and curse people."
Rong Yue knew he was sad, "Niannian, but you bought "Drunk Horse Touring Spring" back."
"Yes," Yu Nian lowered his eyelashes, and pushed the box containing the ancient books, "Then Uncle Lao Rong will worry about it."
As New Year's Eve approached, news came from Rongyue that none of the five volumes of ancient books on the two inkstones failed to be auctioned. On the contrary, because the ancient books on the inkstones were all from the Qingshan Yu family, they were scrambled as soon as they were put up for auction. After many rounds of bidding, the two inkstones The transaction was sold for 6.3 million, and the five sets of ancient books were sold for 8.1 million. The final price was much higher than both of them estimated.
"The buyer of the ancient books is named Weng. He has been obsessed with ancient books for many years and has written two monographs. When he heard that the Yu family in Qingshan had something up for auction, he hurried over and said that it contained the annotations of the Yu family. .His family also has Mr. Xiu Ning's calligraphy collection, which is extremely cherished. You can rest assured every year."
Yu Nian exhaled softly, and after thanking him, he put the phone back in his pocket.
Seeing Yu Nian coming back from answering the phone, Shi Rou handed him the down jacket to put on.
While pulling the zipper, Yu Nian asked, "Sister Rou Rou, Chinese New Year is only two days away, have you bought your ticket to go home?"
Shi Rou looked happy, "I bought it a long time ago. The car tomorrow afternoon will be in time for the New Year's Eve dinner when I go back. I really miss my dad's braised hoof! Fortunately, my home is in the next city, and the ticket is not too tight." She helped Yu Nian put away the sundries and went out together, "What about you Niannian, the advertising posters are all shot, and the brand activities are all in the next year, how do you arrange them?"
"I haven't figured it out yet. Maybe I should write songs at home. While I'm not busy, I'll write the songs my sister wants first." After speaking, Yu Nian thought of something, took out his phone and looked at it, and found the message sent to Xie You at noon The other party hasn't returned yet.
After getting into the nanny car, Xia Mingxi called.
"Niannian, is your schedule tight recently?"
"Schedule?" Yu Nian didn't realize it, "What schedule?"
"Songwriter!" Xia Mingxi said excitedly, "I was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the uncle director. He asked me to ask you through connections, if you want to cooperate and write a promotional song for the movie!"
Yu Nian recalled, "I remember the movie you made, didn't there be a promotional song? I heard you mentioned it, it was called... "The Year"?"
"That's right, that's right, but isn't the original second male lead a hit, all the scenes have been deleted, and the script has been changed a lot, so the previous promotional song is no longer applicable, so it has to be rewritten, and the director's hair will turn gray. , just ask me to ask you."
Yu Nian said with a smile, "Mingxi, are you helping me solicit business?"
Xia Mingxi laughed, "Hahaha you saw through it! Don't let the fat and water flow to outsiders? I saw that the director was struggling, so I mentioned you in front of him intentionally or unintentionally. Sure enough, after he listened to the song you wrote, he was tempted. .”
"I won't say thank you. Let's have dinner together when you come back from filming."
"Okay, jojoyo! Be sure to wait for me! I want a big meal!"
At this moment, the speed of the car slowed down, and finally stopped. Shi Rou asked the driver, turned her head towards Yu Nian and said, "Niannian, there was a traffic accident ahead, and it was blocked. I don't know how long it will take."
Traffic jams are so common that few people care about them. Yu Nian took out the pen and paper he had with him, used something to pad it, and wrote and drew.
Shi Rou took a look, "Niannian, your handwriting is really beautiful! But, are you writing lyrics?"
"Well," Yu Nian nodded, and the pen nimbly turned a few times between his fingers, "I suddenly got a little inspiration, try to see if I can write."
Shi Rou covered her mouth with a smile, afraid of disturbing Yu Nian, she kept quiet.
After writing two words, I was distracted again, Yu Nian didn't know how many times he took out his phone and looked at it - still no reply.
He smiled, the feeling of being influenced by others was surprisingly good.
Not long after, there was a booming sound in the distance. Shi Rou stopped playing the game and looked up, "What's the sound?"
"The sound of the helicopter propeller." Yu Nian looked out of the window through the window, and could see the shadow of the helicopter in the distance.
"What's the matter, even the helicopters are dispatched..." Shi Rou muttered a few words, then bowed her head and went to play the game again.
Yu Nian continued to write the lyrics with a pen, but suddenly his mind was disturbed. He stared at the messy lines on the paper for a while, then put down the pen, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Not long after, traffic started moving again. Driving on the elevated highway, Shi Rou suddenly said, "Niannian, there is a news feed, I know the reason for the traffic jam just now, there was a traffic accident ahead!"
"Car accident?" Recently, Yu Nian has been very sensitive to the word "car accident". He opened his eyes, "Can I take a look?"
Shi Rou handed the mobile phone to Yu Nian, and said, "The luxury cars collided, and one of them was hanging on the edge of the bridge, and almost fell—" As she was speaking, she noticed that Yu Nian's face suddenly turned pale and worried, "Niannian, you What's wrong?"
Yu Nian looked at the deformed black car in the picture, his throat seemed to be strangled by something, and he couldn't even breathe.
He had seen it before, Xie You drove this car to look for him.
For a moment, I felt that the blood in my whole body was getting cold. Yu Nian quickly took out his mobile phone and called Xie You, but it kept saying that he couldn't get through. Just as he was about to call Qu Xiaoran, the other party called.
Yu Nian's fingers trembled when he pressed the answer button.
Swallowing his saliva, his throat felt sore, Yu Nian asked softly, his voice trembling at the end, "Is... is he alright?"
Qu Xiaoran's words were full of hostility, "I'm ignoring Ding Zhaoxian's 18th generation ancestor! If something really happens to my brother, I'll kill him with a knife!"
There was a muffled sound, which seemed to be the sound of kicking the wall, and Qu Xiaoran panted, "I don't know the specific situation. Five cars on both sides of Ding Zhaoxian and Xie Xiaoyou collided with each other, and they all entered the hospital. I am now at the door of the emergency room. Still comatose, not sure if the injury is serious, waiting for the test results."
He seemed to wipe his face, "When he entered the emergency room, Xie You's right hand was full of blood, which kept dripping down, but his fingers were tightly clenched, and he managed to pull it open. Inside was a clean and intact note .”
Yu Nian was suffocating for breath.
"Written on it, may you be safe."
Gripping the phone tightly, Yu Nian closed his eyes, took a deep breath trembling, as if he had regained his voice, and said in a hoarse voice, "Tell me the address, I'll be right over."
