Farming and reading lady

"Draw it out first and let us see it. Of course, it's not limited to landscapes. Paint all that you are good at, and then we can talk about whether to sell it or not." Tong Mingyan didn't object to this kind of thing. Anyone who can make a living in any field is an excellent person.

"Okay." Gu Xixian sketched several pictures in his mind at this moment: "It's better to do it today than to wait for a better day. I will paint it now."

The master's wife held her back and said, "You've been playing all day and you don't feel tired? Eat and rest first. It won't cost you a little time."

"Oh, very well then. I'll have dinner with our dear teacher's wife first." As she said this, she leaned towards the teacher's wife. Children of seven or eight years old can always act like a spoiled child, and she has mastered it to perfection.

The teacher's wife really liked the soft and delicate little girl throwing herself into her arms, and the smile on her face became more and more obvious. Tong Mingyan was a little jealous: "Does the teacher need to accompany me?"

"I will accompany you if you want to." Gu Xixian quickly ran over and hugged his arm and shook it. Master, Master, he is both a master and a father. She is still young, so what's wrong with hugging her? Will he strike her with lightning?

Tong Mingyan also smiled. The bad boy always does things in a methodical manner, but the little girl is better. She laughs when she should, cries when she should, and acts coquettishly when she should. She can praise you like a flower when she wants to please you, and can make you so angry when she makes trouble for you. She is not shy at all. He really likes her.

Gu Xixian pulled one with his left hand, and then another with his right hand, and kept signaling his brother with his eyes, asking him to take the initiative. Gu Xihao laughed dumbly, and then he took the hand of his master's wife and walked towards the dining room together.

The warmth that Tong Mingyan and his wife feel goes straight to the bottom of their hearts, and it is no exception that they have their children enjoying the company of their children. God has been kind to them, and it is great that he let them meet these two children!

After dinner, Gu Xixian didn't finish the painting, because the three people in the family didn't agree with her staying up late, and they were sent to bed early. But she was a person who would put her ideas into action. The next day, after getting up, washing and eating breakfast, she ran into her study to prepare. She used yesterday's realism as a basis and made a micro-reproduction, with clear streams, green trees and red flowers, and sporadic bees and butterflies. In order to make the painting more artistic, she added three little girls to this painting. One little girl was pulling a kite in the air and running sideways. One little girl stood quietly by the stream and scooped water. The water splashed into the sky and drew a beautiful arc. There was also a girl with a skirt like a flower covered with cushions, half leaning on a small table, one hand supporting her chin, and the other hand holding a teacup with orchid fingers. The back was hazy, which was interesting and difficult to recognize.

There were pigments in this era, and the colors were no less than in the previous life. She slowly mixed and filled in the colors carefully, and only ate a few snacks in the middle to fill her stomach. When the whole painting was completed, it was already past three in the afternoon. She carefully reviewed it again, and felt that there was nothing missing. She took the small private seal she had used in her spare time: Leisurely Layman, and stamped it. Then she took the painting and walked towards her brother's study. The teacher had been off duty early these days, and when she went there, the two were reviewing the questions. Seeing her coming over, they naturally ended the review of the questions today and looked at the little girl who was jumping over with a doting look.

"Teacher, brother, come and take a look at my masterpiece today." Gu Xixian felt that he was quite satisfied with it, but he still needed the aesthetic affirmation of people today.

Gu Xihao praised before even looking at it: "My sister's painting must be the best."

Tong Mingyan glanced at him. He didn't agree with the unlimited praise, but when he watched the scroll unfold bit by bit, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Well, it's really my little Xian'er. This painting skill is really impressive."

It seems that each part is just a few strokes, but the spirit and shape are all in place, and the colors filled in seem to be clearly layered, but they are also intertwined, showing vitality in the tranquility and leisure in the joy. The skillful technique is not immature at all, and it is no exaggeration to call it "wonderful".

"Then how much do you think it's worth?" Although she was a Chinese teacher in her previous life, few people knew that she graduated from a well-known art academy at the time. She also participated in several art exhibitions with her classmates in the academy for her paintings in her spare time. Now she wanted to know how much her paintings were worth in this era.

"The value of a painting is different in the minds of different painting lovers. Next time I have a day off, I'll take you to the gallery on East Street." Tong Mingyan motioned for her to roll up the painting.

Gu Xixian was not disappointed. The teacher was right. Professional matters should be handled by professionals. However, her painting was taken away by Tong Mingyan, who said: Let your teacher's wife appreciate it.

Shrugging his shoulders, Gu Xixian said it didn't matter. The painting wouldn't run away anyway, and there were still several days before the teacher's day off.

As a result, the painting really ran away. After a few days, the painting that she said she had given to her teacher's wife to appreciate never returned to her. When Tong Mingyan was on vacation, she stared at it with her big eyes, but she didn't see the teacher return her painting. He just asked her and her brother to pack it up and take them out to visit old friends.

Gu Xixian was a little depressed. Could it be that her paintings did not conform to the current aesthetic standards? Did the teacher not mention it because he was afraid of disappointing her? It shouldn't be the case, right? She felt that her paintings were still quite grand and should be universal regardless of the era.

Along the way, Gu Xixian hesitated to speak several times, but the teacher clearly saw her little action but did not ask, so she had to suppress her thoughts. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. She can learn more and change the style of painting. It's not a big deal. Don't be discouraged.

She encouraged herself in her heart, adjusted her mindset, and became a quiet and beautiful woman.

Tong Mingyan took the brother and sister to a quiet art gallery. To be honest, she really didn't expect that there would be such a unique place in the deep and secluded ancient alley. The gallery is a real painting gallery. From the first step into this place, on the winding corridor, there is a scene and a painting at every step. Although the lengths of the paintings are different, they are well-arranged; the styles are very different, but they complement each other. I don't know who made whom. In short, it makes people feel that they have integrated into the world of paintings. Of course, this is just one of them. There are stairs at the end of the corridor. Going up the stairs, there is a huge auction house on the second floor. The reason why we know it is an auction house is because the auction is in progress. Gu Xixian glanced around. The auction house was also surrounded by paintings. She had no time to look around because she suddenly heard a familiar name...

On the auction platform, a beautiful young woman was directing a servant to pull open a colorful scroll and introduce it: "This painting was created by Xianqing Jushi. It has a unique style and harmonious colors. It is a rare colored painting. Please appreciate it first. If you are interested, please make an initial bid first."

Could it be that someone else has taken her pen name? Gu Xixian looked closely and saw that it was her painting that was stolen. It turned out that it had come here. She was immediately excited...
