It is impossible for Lin Wanwan to give away the two paintings she currently holds; both were gifts from friends and she wants to preserve them well.
She decided to spread the word among the nobility in Mao County, offering a hefty sum to obtain Yu Shinan's calligraphy, along with his inscription.
The famous figures of Great Tang who write and paint often dislike inscribing their works, a habit she finds troublesome and something she must specifically remind them about.
It's not an impossible task, and the hope of achieving it is quite high.
Because Yu Shinan's family is indeed the Yu Family from Yu Yao, plus the house Lin Wanwan owns in Xiaoxi Town was bought from the Yu Family.
Although she's unsure whether the original owner and Yu Shinan are within five degrees of kinship, they definitely belong to the same family.
Yu Yao is not far from Mao County, both are part of Yuezhou, so Lin Wanwan claims obtaining Yu Shinan's calligraphy is not out of reach.
