Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner - Vol 2 Chapter 169
So Tangning asked curiously, “Where did you hear this?”
Brian replied, “The housekeeper told me!”
“Where did the housekeeper hear about it?” Tangning asked again.
“He heard it when he was drinking at Gnier’s!”
“Then who was the person who told him about this in the bar?” Tangning asked.
Brian shook his head and replied, “I don’t know about that. I guess Farr doesn’t know either, because he listened to other people’s gossip, and it seems that he doesn’t know that person!”
“Then this is weird!” Tangning murmured to herself.
“What’s so strange?” Brian asked curiously.
“Because I’ve heard similar statements before…” Tangning then told Brian what she had heard from Levin.
Brian was also a little surprised after hearing this: “It’s strange to say that!”
As the old saying goes, “Don’t talk about people behind your back”, while the two were talking, suddenly the housekeeper came to report: “Master, Mr. Warner is here!”
The two looked at each other after hearing this, and Brian sighed, “This, this is too coincidental!”
“But everyone is here, so let’s go take a look!” Tangning said casually.
When they arrived in the living room, Tangning helped introduce, “Mr. Warner, this is Brian Clark, Heidi’s brother! Brian, this is our new neighbor, Mr. Matt Warner!”
“Mr. Warner, I’m sorry, I was in London and just came back!” Brian greeted actively.
“I’m sorry, I should wait for Mr. Clark to come back before the reception!” Warner cooperated.
After a few polite words, Warner said to Tangning, “Mr. Tangning, when I was cleaning the house yesterday, I found another painting by Mr. Maddison. I remember Mr. Tangning, you are very interested in his painting, so I thought of taking it. Come and show it to you!”
When she heard that it was a painting by “Madison”, Tangning immediately became refreshed and asked, “Really? Where is the painting?”
“Look!” Warner took out a painting from the painting container and opened it. When he saw this painting, let alone Tangning, even Brian couldn’t help being surprised, “Tony, this, this is not The one, the goddess you’re painting?”
That’s right, the oil painting Brian brought over this time was the Statue of Liberty, and the “Statue of Liberty” in Tangning’s “Dream of New York” was also prominently placed, so Brian, who was chatting with Tangning in the studio just now, even though I only glanced at it, but I was also impressed, so I couldn’t help but exclaim immediately.
Naturally, Warner didn’t know anything about this, so he asked curiously, “Mr. Clark, are you saying that Mr. Downing is also painting the Statue of Liberty?”
“That’s not true. Tony painted New York in a Dream, but there is also a Statue of Liberty that is similar to this Statue of Liberty, but without a name!” Brian explained.
Warner suddenly realized, “Oh, so that’s what happened, can Mr. Tangning show me your masterpiece?”
Tangning hesitated for a while, then replied, “Uh, it’s not impossible, but I haven’t finished painting this painting yet, and my painting skills are very average, so I’m afraid you will laugh at me!”
“Mr. Tangning, you’re so humble. I’ve heard it all. You’re a famous oil painting appraiser in New Orleans. You saw through those liars!”
Although Warners was touting this, both Tangning and Brian sounded awkward. Tangning naturally knew the swindlers but didn’t expose them in time, and Brian was deceived. Opened the topic and said, “Let’s go to see the painting first!”
When they arrived at Tangning’s studio, Warner couldn’t help but take a deep breath and said, “Mr. Tangning, the statue of the Statue you painted in the harbor really looks like Mr. Madison’s Statue of Liberty, but you guys Obviously I don’t know each other, how can they all have the same idea?”
Downing explained, “I was influenced by Mr. Maddison’s “Paris in a Dream”, so I didn’t know why I dreamed of a different New York in my dream, so I painted this “New York in a Dream” “I wonder if the origin of Mr. Maddison’s “Statue of Liberty” also came from a dream?”
Warner took a deep look at Tangning, then shook his head and replied, “I don’t know about this, because I didn’t ask much when I bought it. It was only because of the name that I knew it was Mr. Maddison. The origin of the creation!”
“Then do you still have Mr. Madison’s other paintings?” Tangning asked.
Warner thought for a moment, and then replied a little embarrassedly: “There should be, but I don’t know where I put it. In fact, what I liked at the time was the “Paris in a Dream” hanging in the living room, and everything else was I bought it by the way, and it didn’t cost a lot of money. In addition, I moved recently, so I didn’t know where to put it, and I even found this Statue of Liberty by accident yesterday!”
“Oh~www.mtlnovel.com~ That’s it, if you find Mr. Maddison’s paintings in the future, please let me know, I’m willing to buy them!” Tangning pleaded.
Warner nodded without hesitation and replied, “Of course this is possible, but I would like to ask Mr. Tangning to answer a question for me?”
“What’s the problem?” Tangning asked casually.
So Warner asked, “Why are you so interested in Mr. Maddison’s paintings? Actually, I think his paintings are average, not even as good as Mr. Tangning’s paintings yourself?”
In fact, it is normal for Warners to have this question, because Maddison’s painting skills are indeed inferior to Tangning’s, but Tangning couldn’t say the real reason, so he had to perfunctory: “Eh, I think Mr. Maddison’s paintings are very creative and very good. There are characteristics that can inspire me, especially this “Statue of Liberty” is actually the same as mine, which makes me more interested!”
Although Warner didn’t believe this reason, he didn’t refute it, and he took the initiative to change the subject, and took the initiative to invite before leaving: “Mr. Clark, it’s a pity that you weren’t there at the last reception, it happened that I was a good friend. A friend gave me a bottle of good wine a few days ago, why don’t you and Mr. Tangning come to my house to try it tonight?”
As a “competent” alcoholic, Brian agreed without hesitation as soon as he heard Warner said there was good wine.
PS: Pushing a book “Folk Customs Begins with the Blood God of Xiangxi”, first of all, the writing is very good, but the shortcomings are: one, the title is not good; two, there are too many branch lines, and there are too many things to write, which makes the main line a bit weak; Third, the classification is wrong…
