Chapter 440: Mr. Li’s Collection
"Mr. Li, your collection is quite extensive," Ye Chen sighed.
Mr. Li let out a soft sigh, "Ah... as one gets older, they tend to like keeping some mementos around. After all, my spouse passed away early, and this hobby is all I have left."
"By the way, apart from cinnabar stone, I’ve also collected quite a number of other antiques. Don’t get scared later," Mr. Li chuckled.
"Mr. Li, you can count on me," Ye Chen replied.
Soon, the two arrived at the collection room.
Mr. Li closed the door to the room and then opened a drawer next to the wall, taking out a scroll of painting.
Upon unfurling the scroll, it turned out to be a landscape painting from the Spring and Autumn Warring States period.
The overall lines were smooth and exquisite, the mountains robust and majestic, with a simple and brisk brushwork that conveyed a boldness and sharpness akin to the grandeur of mountains towering and spirit overshadowing the world.
At the bottom of the scroll were the words ’Meng Ke’.
"Meng Gong?" Seeing the signature on the painting, Ye Chen showed a look of surprise.
Meng Ke was a famous painter, and his works have been passed down to later generations, becoming treasures that are immensely difficult to acquire.
It’s said that the value of this painting is priceless, with a market value of at least eight figures.
