"Deanna, are you saying that the oil paintings that have popped up in New Orleans recently are probably a scam created by some out-of-town scammers colluding with some farmers?" Tangning asked with a frown.
Deanna nodded and replied: "Well, that's what I mean."
"How did you find out about this?" Tangning asked.
Deanna explained: "I heard it from coffee customers. For example, a regular customer said that he had known his neighbor Larry Lao for many years and had never seen an oil painting in their house, but recently a painting suddenly appeared.
Xiang's "On the Sofa", and before that there was often an outsider coming in and out of his house. When asked about it, Larry Lao refused to say anything, so he concluded that there must be collusion."
"Then do you have any evidence?" Tangning asked again.
Unexpectedly, Deanna answered simply: "No!"
Just when Tangning felt a little speechless, Deanna added, "But I think there must be something wrong with this matter, because I have also heard some similar rumors."
"Deanna, I understand what you mean. In fact, I feel something is wrong about this matter, but we don't have any evidence!" Tangning said, spreading her hands.
Deanna suggested: "We have no evidence, but Teacher Tangning, you can write a novel. As long as you write this matter into a novel, won't you be able to remind everyone?"
Tangning thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "That's a good idea. Since I'm writing a novel, I don't have to be responsible for the truth or falsehood of things! Deanna, you are so smart!"
Deanna smiled bitterly and said: "I just don't want to see more people suffer like my father because of oil paintings."
Tang Ning knew that this was actually Deanna's original intention in learning to appraise oil paintings, so she comforted her for a few words before leaving her and went back to check out the store.
Although Tang Ning already had an outline in mind, it was generally based on what she had seen, heard and reasoned recently. She even thought of a name. It was called "Crazy Oil Painting", which was as dark as "Crazy Stone".
Comedy style depends on it.
However, he didn't have time to write yet, because today's plan was to visit Maxi who had recovered his memory, so he rested for a while, briefly wrote the outline, then changed his clothes and took a carriage to Maxi's house.
Seeing Tangning's arrival, Maxi said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Tony, I didn't even recognize you when you took my father to Yorktown last time!"
"I can't blame you, after all, you were sick at that time!" Tangning comforted, and then asked, "How do you feel now?"
Maxi hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "It's okay, it's just that I have two completely different life memories at the same time, so sometimes I still feel a little awkward!"
"This is normal. After all, you have lived as a farmer for several months, so you will definitely leave behind memories and habits. Just get used to it slowly!" Tang Ning advised.
After chatting for a few more words, Maxi suddenly asked: "By the way Tony, I heard that you just came back from New York too?"
Although Tangning knew why Maxi asked this, she still pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Actually, I just came back from New York!" Maxi said.
Tangning pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? If I had known, we would have come back together!"
Maxi said warmly: "I didn't know until I came back! How is your business in New York now?"
"It's okay!" Tangning replied casually. Then, although she didn't want to ask, she still asked, "Paul, are you taking Audrey on a trip to New York?"
Maxi shook her head and replied: "No, and I went by myself. In fact, I went to find Danina!"
"Oh yes, Danina is indeed in New York, and I have met her before!" Tangning said, "Suddenly enlightened", and then asked: "By the way, why didn't you bring Danina back?"
Maxi pointed towards the room with some embarrassment, and then whispered: "If I bring Danina back, then she and Audrey will not fight? I don't have your ability.
He can handle the relationships between so many women so well!"
"What kind of ability do I have? Yin Sha and the others are black slaves, and there is no way Nicole will marry me, so naturally I have no conflict with Heidi!" Tangning replied modestly, and then asked: "Then from now on Dani
Na just stays in New York, and you run back and forth like this?"
Maxi sighed and said: "I divorced Danina because I think the life she has now is what she wants. Tony, as you know, I was forced to marry Danina when I first got married. In fact, Danina
So does Na!"
"I know this, but will Uncle Sean agree to your divorce? Doesn't he value this noble status the most?" Tangning asked again.
Maxi explained: "Before, my father really valued noble status the most, otherwise he would not have forced me to go to London to marry Danina, but after this war, especially the news that I died in the war,
After that, now my father has looked past all this!"
Tangning put herself in her shoes and thought about it. What else could she not ignore after such a huge change? Even the Duke's status was not as good as the fact that his son was still alive, so he nodded in agreement: "This war has indeed changed things."
a lot!"
"It's really changed a lot. Tony, you didn't go to the battlefield, so there are a lot of things you can't feel. In fact, I joined the army on impulse at first. When I actually went to the battlefield, I really felt the cruelty of war, and saw with my own eyes the cruelty of war.
The death of my comrades and enemies is a shock I will never forget for the rest of my life, let alone my experience of coming back from the dead!" Maxi said with emotion.
"Paul, to be honest, I actually envy you for this experience, but if you ask me to experience it personally, I still don't dare!" Tangning laughed at herself.
But Maxi said with a serious face: "Tony, don't be envious, it's a good thing not to have this kind of experience! Really, I'm serious!"
Tangning reacted and understood what Maxi meant. She probably didn't want to experience such a cruel scene as war, so she nodded silently and then said, "Paul, I feel like you have changed a lot!"
Maxi smiled bitterly and replied: "After experiencing so many things, how can it be possible that there is no change at all!"
"What you said is right, but no matter what, everything is over and things will get better in the future!" Tang Ning comforted her.
"Well, it will get better and better in the future!" Maxi replied calmly.
ps: To be honest, if I hadn’t saved my manuscript, I really wouldn’t be in the mood to type at all today. I didn’t sleep well last night...
