At the end of the river, what is connected is not the endless sea, but a sparkling lake. There is a pavilion in the lake, which is antique and full of special charm. In the pavilion, there was a girl with bare feet, her toes picking up the lake water, and pouring it on the delicate lotus flowers in the lake.
Suddenly!
Zhu Xiang found that he had appeared in the painting, in that world as beautiful as a fairyland. What he saw was no longer a painting, but every scene and thing in the world that he could truly see with his naked eyes.
Be part of it!
What does it mean to be in it!
At this moment, he was experiencing this kind of thing.
In the lobby on the first floor of the Lotus Building, all the onlookers looked at Zhu Xiang with contempt. They had seen others do embarrassing things, but they had never seen someone do it so thoroughly!
Two paintings!
Whose is better? Whose fault
They can tell them clearly with their toes. Zhu Xiang's paintings are good, but compared with Tang Xiu's paintings, they are simply on the same level as the sky. There is no comparison at all.
"Hey... that person surnamed Zhu, now you know what it means that there are people outside the world, right? If I were you, I would take off my pants quickly, cover my head and get out, and don't continue to be embarrassed." A mocking voice full of sarcasm, came out from the crowd, causing a burst of laughter.
Another member of the crowd also showed a look of disdain and said disdainfully: "My surname is Zhu, you have lost face and face in this competition. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise and give others the calligraphy and painting you promised?" ! The answer has been revealed, so you won’t default on your debt, right?”
"Yes, yes! After all, you are also the second young master of the Zhu family in Jincheng. You shouldn't be the kind of person who can't afford to lose, or even smear your family, right?"
in the crowd.
The corner of Professor Hu's mouth twitched violently for a few times. He finally recovered from the shock and looked at Tang Xiu with a completely different look from before. He even began to feel guilty for despising Tang Xiu, because he was also a person who was proficient in painting, but he judged people based on their appearance and looked down on Tang Xiu based on their age.
"I have lived my entire life, but I lost my sight today!"
Professor Hu couldn't help but smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed.
suddenly!
He began to feel some sympathy for Le Baiyi, because he still clearly remembered what Le Baiyi said before.
Winter fluorite and broken star stone!
He knew very well that Le Baiyi had more winter fluorite and broken star stones than he did. If it were put up for sale, the selling price might even be twice what he sold it for.
Le Baiyi opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be pinched by a pair of invisible hands. His face turned red, but he was unable to speak for a long time.
Sit in the well and look at the sky!
The bitter taste in his heart surged like coptis.
Mu Wanying's face was full of curiosity. She found that she believed what Professor Hu said before. The identity of this young man was mysterious, and she even thought she could see through Tang Xiu. That was really a big joke.
but!
Deep in her heart, she was filled with excitement, because she knew that since Tang Xiu said that he had very few paintings, the painting she got would definitely be priceless in the future.
Zhu Xiang finally woke up from the ridicule of everyone. When he looked around blankly, his complexion began to change, from red to white, from white to blue, from green to purple, and finally returned to a color as white as paper. middle.
Lost!
Even though he was reluctant, the fact was right in front of him and he had to admit it.
Suddenly!
Zhu Xiang looked at Tang Xiu with red eyes and asked sternly: "Who are you?"
Tang Xiu said lightly: "I'm just an ordinary person, a student who has just taken the college entrance examination. Don't think, I don't have any fame in the world of calligraphy and painting, and I don't even hope to have any fame. Because that will bring me trouble, rather than benefits.”
Zhu Xiang was choked by Tang Xiu's words and didn't make a sound for a long time.
I lost!
Lost at the hands of a student who had just taken the college entrance examination!
He suddenly felt that what Tang Xiu just said was so reasonable. He stood high and fell hard. He had been arrogant and domineering just now, but now the level of embarrassment was really high. It was really miserable!
Bai Yu looked at Zhu Xiang and sneered: "If I remember correctly, you said it before. If you lose, you will give Mr. Tang the original painting of the famous Tang Dynasty painter Li Sixun: "Picture of Jiang Fan Pavilion". Your family In Jincheng, it probably won’t take long to get here from home, right?”
Zhu Xiang glanced at Bai Yu with resentment, then looked at Tang Xiu, and said with hatred: "I would like to admit defeat, I will go back to get the painting immediately!"
Finished.
In the eyes of countless people with contempt, he rushed out of the gate of the Lotus Building with a face full of shame.
At this time!
A middle-aged man in the crowd shouted loudly: "Tell me, the guy named Zhu lost so miserably today, does he still have the nerve to come back? He won't let others send his painting back, right?"
"Hahaha… "
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.
Bai Yu was in a good mood, very good. Not only did she express her anger, she also drove Zhu Xiang away. I also saw a unique painting. In the future, once this painting is known to the outside world, my lotus building will rise with the tide.
She seemed to have already seen the overcrowded scene of her Lotus Building in the future.
"Mr. Tang, thank you for letting me see a good painting. All your expenses in my restaurant today are free of charge! And I promise that no matter when Mr. Tang comes to our place in the future, he will not charge a penny for his consumption." Bai Yu said seriously said.
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment, nodded slowly and said, "In that case, let me write a few words for you! Don't dislike it."
Give him a peach and repay him with a plum.
Since Bai Yu treated him like this, Tang Xiu also felt that he should do something. He didn't want to create paintings anymore, but he could still write a few words casually.
Bai Yu's heart was shocked, and she said repeatedly in ecstasy: "Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Tang."
Tang Xiu waved his hand, and in full view of everyone, he picked up the brush and wrote six big characters on a new piece of rice paper: Capital of Painting, Lotus Tower.
The vigorous and powerful characters also have the charm of dancing dragons and phoenixes.
In the elegance, there is a bit of iron and steel. In the toughness, there is also chivalrous tenderness.
"Good words!"
An old man who was not only very good at painting, but also a great calligrapher, shouted loudly with a twinkle in his eye.
When Bai Yu saw this calligraphy, he felt passionate love for it. She has been cultivating calligraphy and painting for many years and can naturally distinguish between good and bad. Although she was not very familiar with this font, these six characters were written extremely well.
"One hundred... no, five million, I will buy this painting!"
The old man just looked at Bai Yu without blinking, his eyes full of expectation.
Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "I won't sell it if I don't sell it. Don't say five million, I won't sell it even if it's fifty million!"
The old man had a look of disappointment on his face, turned to look at Tang Xiu, and looked expectant again, and said, "Little brother, look... can you write another calligraphy for me? The price is easy to talk about."
Tang Xiu asked strangely: "Are you sure?"
The old man nodded heavily and said, "I'm sure."
Tang Xiu looked around and said loudly: "Who else here needs my calligraphy? Five million pieces, only four pieces."
"I'll buy!"
Mu Wanying took a step forward and said without thinking.
Tang Xiu glanced at her in surprise, then nodded and said, "Is there anything else?"
Professor Hu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Since I can encounter such a good thing today, I will also buy one."
now.
A middle-aged woman stood up and said loudly: "I will buy one too!"
Tang Xiu immediately said: "Okay! The four paintings are sold out. No matter who wants to buy from me again, I will not write more."
Finished!
He immediately started writing, and he wrote six words on each calligraphy and painting. Soon, four words were written. Tang Xiu looked at the four people and directly told them his bank account.
Money arrives.
Tang Xiu nodded with satisfaction. He suddenly had an impulse. One day when nothing happened, should he write hundreds of calligraphy and paintings at once and sell them? If you sell them all, you will become a rich man again in the blink of an eye.
but!
This idea is just a thought. He deeply understands the truth that rare things are valuable. If you write hundreds of words by yourself, I'm afraid it will become worthless.
Bai Yu looked at Tang Xiu and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, do you still want to go back to the box? I have sent people to remove the food and sent tea and desserts. Later, if Zhu Xiang brings the "Picture of Jiang Fan Pavilion" "Send it here, and you will take it with you."
Tang Xiu turned to look at Professor Hu.
Professor Hu smiled and said: "Then go back and sit down again."
Le Baiyi was a little depressed at the moment. When he saw Professor Hu nodding, he wanted to agree to give Tang Xiu his winter fluorite and broken star stones now, but he had to go back to the box and decided to wait until the party.
Right now.
Inside the gate of Lotus Building, two women walked in. They were dressed fashionably and carrying designer bags. Although they were in their thirties, they were still elegant. Suddenly, the smile on one of the women's faces disappeared slightly, replaced by a bit of surprise.
"Tang Xiu?"
Huang Jie looked at the face that she could never forget. After just a moment's hesitation, she shouted loudly.
Tang Xiu was about to walk towards the stairs with others when he suddenly heard someone calling him. There was a look of surprise in his eyes. When he turned around and saw Huang Jie, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times. If it wasn't for the sake of face, he really wanted to leave here immediately.
With an expression of surprise, Huang Jie pulled another woman and rushed to Tang Xiu. She said with surprise on her face: "Tang Xiu, is it really you? Great! I originally planned to go to Star City after returning to my parents' home. I’ll go to your house to find you immediately!”
Tang Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Please, please don't look for me. I'm most afraid of being remembered."
Huang Jie smiled angrily and said: "Besides my husband, you are the second man that I, Huang Jie, can care about. I don't know how lucky I am when I am in this world. I really don't know what you think!"
