The painting Tangning was talking about was a painting he accidentally saw in the corner of Warner's living room during today's cocktail party. It was a landscape painting of Paris. He didn't pay attention to it at the time because he thought the painting was very special.
Normal, but just now I suddenly recalled that there is something extremely abnormal about this painting, that is, there is actually the Eiffel Tower in this painting!
You must know that it is only 1872, and if I remember correctly, the Eiffel Tower was only built around 1890. It should not even have a shadow now. How could it be painted on the painting?
I didn't realize it before because in my subconscious mind, the Eiffel Tower is a landmark building in Paris, so it is normal for it to appear in the painting, but I forgot the background of the era to which I belonged. Looking back now, how could I be filled with doubts?
But what Heidi said was right. It was really not the right time for him to go and inquire, otherwise it would definitely shock Warner, and even cause some situations that could have been inquired about not to be inquired about.
So early the next morning, Tangning rushed to Warner's house after breakfast. As soon as she entered the door, she asked Warner: "Mr. Warner, can I see another painting in your living room?"
Warner was originally a little surprised by Tang Ning's arrival, and now it was even more strange to hear that he wanted to see the paintings, but he couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed: "Of course, Mr. Tang Ning, please!"
Without Warner's guidance, Tangning strode to the corner of the living room based on her memory. She took a closer look and found that she had read it correctly. Although there was no Eiffel Tower on the painting, a tower of this height could only be the Eiffel Tower.
!(Even in 1889, the Eiffel Tower was the tallest man-made tower in the world.)
So Tangning turned to Warner and asked, "Mr. Warner, did you paint this painting?"
Warner waved his hand and said: "No, I can't even draw. I bought this painting when I was in Paris! Look, isn't the author's name written in the lower right corner?"
Tang Ning saw that it was indeed the case. The name "Eric Madison" was written in cursive characters in the lower right corner of the oil painting. This was obviously the name of the painter.
Warner may have guessed something at this time, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Tangning, do you think this painting is different from Paris? In fact, this painting is called "Paris in Dreams". It is said that the artist based it on himself.
It was painted in a dream! So it is indeed completely different from the Paris we saw!”
"Oh, so that's it!" Tangning suddenly realized, and then asked, "Then, can you still contact Mr. Madison?"
Warner shook his head and replied: "Definitely not, because Mr. Madison had been dead for a long time when I bought this painting. I bought it from his son, Mr. Rex."
Tangning was very disappointed when she heard that the author of this painting had passed away. She thought she could find a traveler to accompany her, but she didn't expect that he actually passed away.
Seeing Tang Ning's expression, Warner joked: "Mr. Tang Ning, since you like this painting so much, I'll give it to you!"
"Oh, how can you be so embarrassed!" Tangning declined in embarrassment.
"It's okay, you can see it. In fact, I don't particularly like this painting, otherwise I wouldn't put it in this corner!" Warner insisted.
After repeatedly rejecting the request several times, Tang Ning finally had no choice but to accept it, and made up her mind to make up for it when she found an opportunity, and not to owe this favor.
After chatting for a while and finding out Rex-Madison's address, Tangning took her leave and went home.
After arriving home, Heidi looked at the painting and curiously asked Tangning: "Tony, did you go to Mr. Warner's house last night just for this painting "Paris in Dreams"?"
Tangning nodded and replied, "That's right. Have you noticed that this painting is special?"
"Of course special is very special, but people have also said that this is Paris in dreams, so isn't it normal to be special?" Heidi asked puzzledly.
Tangning complained in her heart, why don't I believe that anyone can dream so accurately? At this time, a thought flashed in her mind, and she said with a smile: "What if I tell you, I have also dreamed of Paris like this?"
"
"Tony, have you ever dreamed of Paris like this?" Heidi asked with a shocked look on her face.
Tangning nodded and replied, "Of course, otherwise why would I be so interested in such a poorly crafted painting!"
"That's true. Normally you wouldn't be so excited about a painting, and even go to an unfamiliar neighbor's house like Warner to see the painting so late! But it's too weird. There are actually two
Everyone has the same dream?" Heidi frowned and muttered.
Tangning sighed: "Yes, I asked for this painting because I thought it was very strange. Unfortunately, Mr. Madison has passed away. Otherwise, I really want to go to Paris to talk to him!"
"Tony, I noticed that you are looking for a lot of people, not only Mr. Madison, but also Lieutenant Pichon. Aren't you going to find him too?" Heidi joked.
While the two were chatting, Isabel suddenly rushed in and said to Tangning excitedly: "Master, I, I'm pregnant!"
Tangning was also very happy about this good news, so she asked, "Is it true? How many months has it been?"
"It must be true. I just asked Mr. Pelton to help me check it out. It should be two months old!" As she said this, Isabel was so excited that she shed tears.
Tangning could understand Isabel's excitement, because she had been with him for more than ten years, and Caroline, who came with her, was older than her children, but she was not pregnant with any of them. Although she didn't dare to show it to herself,
But I heard that in private, I am almost crazy with anxiety, and I dare to try any folk remedies.
So he comforted: "This is a good thing. Heidi, please arrange for someone to take care of Isa!"
"Well, don't worry!" Heidi nodded in agreement, and then called a maid over to take care of Isabel.
After sending the excited Isabel back to the bedroom, Heidi asked Tangning with a smile: "You gave little Mike the manor in Brazil, what will you give Isabel's child when he grows up?"
Tangning hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand and said, "Don't think about it in a hurry. After all, it's hard to say whether it's a son or a daughter. If it's a daughter, you don't have to think about it. Just give her a bigger dowry!"
PS: I saw a joke about "If there is a narration in life" on Douyin before and thought it was very funny. I didn't expect that when I was scanning the list today, I saw a book called "My Life Has a Narration" that also used the same approach.
