Reborn with you

"Hey, Mr. Cao, is this the friend's painting you mentioned?"

"Of course. What does Mr. Fang think?"

"Which unborn master is your friend? I have never heard of such a person. These paintings are really as you said, Mr. Cao. They are rare and good paintings. This is not a polite word. Looking back, Cao Sir, I have to ask, is this painting of your friend for sale or not?" This Mr. Fang looked away from the painting depicting the sunrise of Huangshan Mountain in front of him, and looked at another painting next to him.

"Hey, the artist of this painting is actually a different person?" Mr. Fang looked at the signature of the previous painting again in surprise. It was really a different person.

A little smile appeared on Cao Yu's face, "Well, this is an art exhibition held by two of my friends. They are brothers from the same school."

At this time, Cao Yu was busy receiving these guests, and Shan Qiang and the other two were not idle. Although there were not many people who came today, it was better than they expected. Judging by the clothes of the guests, most of them were people of considerable status. , these people would not go to an art exhibition held by an unknown painter for no reason, naturally it was Cao Yu's role; in addition, there were some students and teachers who like calligraphy and painting, Shan Qiang and the others did not wait too long, and they still came forward to receive them with smiles on their faces. commentary.

Shan Qiang was talking to an old man, when he heard a familiar tone from the door, the old man was looking at a picture of his writing, Shan Qiang had time to turn around to look, and saw the old man, I wonder if you still remember the time when the western painting exhibition That foreigner Shan Qiang knew, William?Tony.At this time, he was talking to another foreigner with red hair and blue eyes. When he turned his head, he saw Shan Qiang who was facing the door. The experience of meeting Shan Qiang last time made him very impressed with this special Chinese, so even though it was nearly ten years ago Over the years, Shan Qiang's appearance has changed a lot, and he felt very familiar when he saw Shan Qiang for the first time.

Shan Qiang saw that Cao Yu and Chen Yishui were not around, so she had to talk to the old man and walked towards them, the two foreigners who were particularly prominent in the Chinese ink painting exhibition.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Shan Qiang stood in front of the two with a smile, her attitude neither humble nor overbearing.The red-haired man next to Tony glanced at Shan Qiang in surprise. Such Chinese people are rare. Most of the Chinese people he met in China were either contemptuous or flattering to them.Ten years did not leave too many traces on Tony, a handsome man, but only made him more gentlemanly and mature.He nodded slightly, and replied in fluent Chinese: "Thank you, please explain it for us." Shan Qiang froze for a moment, then smiled and said: "Please follow me."

Now that Tony has learned Chinese, it will be much easier for him to speak it.He believed that he and Chen Yishui's level would not be low, but he was not too conceited. These calligraphy and paintings were either his or Chen Yishui's. He naturally understood them thoroughly, and his explanations were more objective and fair.

"Excuse me, what kind of painting is this kind of painting? I have never seen it before." Tony pointed to a painting by Shan Qiang in Dunhuang. It was a painting with a strong religious color. In the clothes, the expression is serene, the color of the picture is strong and rich, and the structure of the picture is also very perfect.Tony is originally a Westerner. Although he has studied Chinese landscape paintings a lot these years, he is still familiar with Western paintings. At this time, when he first saw Chinese paintings with a Western style, he fell in love with them.

"This is not a school of painting. We copied it from the Dunhuang murals. This is the essence of our Chinese heritage for thousands of years." Shan Qiang said proudly.In terms of profound culture, China's accumulation of 5000 years is enough to make China proud in the world.

"Oh, Dunhuang? Is it in China?"

Shan Qiang didn't want him to know too much about Dunhuang, so she changed the topic with a smile, "Are you interested in this painting, sir? This painting has similarities with Western paintings, but the owner of Western paintings is describing Christianity. , and the subject of these paintings is Buddhism..."

Tony saw that he changed the subject, so he wisely stopped bringing up the topic just now. He just listened to the information revealed between the lines in Shan Qiang's words. He seemed to be familiar with Western paintings. Reminiscent of the familiarity when he first saw him, he suddenly remembered a person Come……

"May I ask, have we met before?"

Shan Qiang was a little surprised. After ten years, this foreigner could still recognize him. Unlike him, he could count every slap in the face of a foreigner he has met in this life. Naturally, he has a deep impression on him. There are countless people, but to be able to remember him, this foreigner must have a good memory.But there is nothing worth hiding about this matter, so he said with a smile: "Yes, I saw your painting at an art exhibition."

Tony was finally sure that the young man in front of him was the Chinese boy who taught him his painting skills back then. It was hard for him to wait for him at the art exhibition for a few days, but he didn't expect to meet him here. This is really God's arrangement.

"So it was really you. Just now you said 'you', are these paintings drawn by you and your partner?"

"Yes, it was drawn by me and my fellow disciples."

At this time, the red-haired man who was ignored by the two people suddenly said: "Ilikeit, Iwannabuyit." Tony nodded and asked Shan Qiang with a smile: "My friend and I both want to buy your paintings, may I ask if your paintings are for sale?" ?”

Shan Qiang nodded and said with a smile, "Of course."

After the exhibition ended that day, the three of them counted the calligraphy and paintings sold that day, and the sixty paintings and calligraphy were sold out. You must know that under Cao Yu's suggestion, the prices of these calligraphy and paintings were not low, and many people even asked them Of course, I want to continue to buy good paintings after the exhibition.

Shan Qiang and the two were a little worried. According to the previous situation, the fledgling painters like them sold about [-] paintings a day at their best. The exhibition was scheduled for three days, so the two of them only prepared a hundred or so. Calligraphy and painting, who knew that it exceeded their expectations on the first day.In desperation, the two can only see the situation. If tomorrow is still like today, then the third day's art exhibition can also be cancelled, and the rent for the day can be saved.

Cao Yu was not worried at all, "Look, I told you that you will definitely succeed." His face was still paralyzed, but he could hear his complacency from his tone.

Sure enough, more people came the next day, and the sixty calligraphy and paintings on display were sold out early.Among them, several foreigners brought by Tony bought dozens of pieces in total, which made those who went late and did not buy them very resentful. After hearing that the exhibition on the third day was also cancelled, these people could only let Shan Qiang They leave their contact addresses, so they can also come to buy paintings.

The two turned around and returned the rent to Cao Yu. Cao Yu also knew the temperament of these two people, so he accepted it without saying anything. As for the other favors that could not be repaid temporarily, Shan Qiang and the two also kept it in mind.Cao Yu, on the other hand, saw that Shan Qiang and the others really left him some high-quality calligraphy and paintings, so he was happy to take them home quickly to avoid being forced to take them by those who came to the door to paint.

Since the exhibition was successfully held, the reputation of the two has been opened up in Shanghai. Those in the Shanghai painting and calligraphy circles recognized the two as young offspring who made a big splash in the dragon dance competition eight years ago, and sighed that the heroes were born as teenagers.After Xuanyuan Junjie knew about it, he sent someone to send congratulatory gifts, saying that he couldn't get away now, and couldn't go to Shanghai to congratulate him in person, these gifts were just a small gift.

Chen Yishui and the others also got busy, and the small yard became much more lively.Some of the people who came to the door were people who did not buy paintings at the art exhibition and followed the address to buy paintings, some of them saw the paintings bought by relatives and friends and wanted to buy one or two for collection, and some were the group who came here from time to time to chat with Shan Qiang and the others. Talking foreigners.

Shan Qiang was fine, it was more natural to communicate with this group of foreigners; Chen Yishui was a little unaccustomed to it, let alone the differences in customs between China and foreign countries, just speaking those half-familiar Chinese made people feel toothache.Fortunately, after a lot of contacts, I think these foreigners are not bad, not as weird as they look, so Chen Yishui gradually became more natural.

"Shan, Chen, tomorrow is my birthday party, I want to invite you to go, don't worry, my friends will be there too." Tony came in excitedly and said.

Chen Yishui was taken aback, "What is birthday...climbing the ladder?"

Tony smiled and said, "Oh, God, I forgot you're not Shan, a birthday party is a birthday party, where is Shan? Where is he?"

Chen Yishui was still thinking about Tony's words. He was either Shan Qiang, or he was saying that his younger brother understood what he said. Hearing Tony's question, he answered absent-mindedly, "Your younger brother is practicing calligraphy in the room."

Unaware that he had missed something, Tony looked towards the window of the study, just in time to see Shan Qiang standing in front of the window, face sideways, writing very seriously.The fair face is particularly bright in the study room with insufficient light. Standing in Tony's perspective, you can just see the corners of Shan Qiang's raised eyes. Because there is no cover for Shan Qiang's indifferent eyes in the past, the raised corners of the eyes can't be concealed. It was so charming that Tony was taken aback. He never knew that a Chinese man could be so good-looking.

Chen Yishui and Tony, one was daydreaming and the other was in a daze. I don't know how long they stood under the osmanthus tree. Both of them had a lot of osmanthus in their hair.After Shan Qiang practiced her calligraphy, she habitually looked for Chen Yishui. Seeing the dumbfounded appearance of the two, she burst out laughing, "What are you two doing? Tony, what are you doing here?"

Chen Yishui was still thinking about something and couldn't react, "Oh, junior brother, have you finished training?"

Tony was dazzled by Shan Qiang's rare smile, usually Shan Qiang smiled lightly, making people look like a spring breeze, but he had never seen Shan Qiang's flower-like smile.Heartbeat, sometimes it is just a momentary thing.

"By the way, Tony said he invited us to his birthday 'ladder climb.'"

Shan Qiang turned her gaze to Tony, "Tony, there must be a lot of people coming to your birthday party, is it suitable for me to go with Yi Shui?" Shan Qiang didn't think he and Chen Yishui were suitable for Tony's circle.

Chen Yishui's eyes darkened when he heard Shan Qiang's answer, the younger brother really had a secret to hide from him, but he and his younger brother lived together day and night, how did the younger brother know these foreign languages?

Tony stepped forward, looked at Shan Qiang and said, "It's okay, it's just a banquet."

Shan Qiang thinks about it too, there have been such banquets before, every time he went to eat something and then left, this time it is no different. "Well, when is the banquet?"

Hearing that Shan Qiang agreed, Tony was very happy, "In the evening of the day after tomorrow, I will send someone to pick you up."

After Tony left, Shan Qiang saw that Chen Yishui remained silent, thinking that he was unhappy because he agreed to Tony without permission, so she asked, "Yishui, if you don't want to go, just make excuses and push back tomorrow."

Chen Yishui looked up at his lover, his lover's eyes were clear and bright, and suddenly felt that it was meaningless for him to make random guesses here, so it was better to open up and say it. "Brother, do you know what 'climbing the ladder' means on a birthday."

Shan Qiang understood that Chen Yishui must have found out that he knew English. Although he didn't want to hide it from him, it was just that it was very troublesome to explain, after all, the truth was really incredible.He also thought about telling Chen Yishui about this matter, but he was afraid that Chen Yishui would think that he was whimsical after he found out.

Well, he doesn't like cheating after all.

Shan Qiang stared at Chen Yishui, looked into his eyes, and said word by word: "Yishui, do you believe me?"

Chen Yishui nodded, he believed in his younger brother more than himself.

"If I said that I was born with memories of my previous life, would you believe it?" After speaking, Shan Qiang didn't realize that she held her breath, and looked at Chen Yishui with nervous eyes.

Chen Yishui frowned, he didn't expect such an explanation, but he had also heard that some people do have memories of previous lives, maybe the younger brother is one of them?Furthermore, when he met his younger brother, his younger brother was only 10 years old and lived in a small town in Sichuan. Later, he became inseparable from him. Chen Yishui really couldn't think of any opportunities for his younger brother to learn foreign languages ​​when he didn't know it.In this way, this incredible explanation really makes sense.

"I believe." Chen Yishui's eyes were burning, he believed that his junior brother would not lie to him.

Shan Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, until now, he had put so much trust and affection in this person, if he separated because of this incident, it would be like cutting off half of his life, and the pain would be unimaginable.

"I'll explain it to you tonight, don't worry too much."

Chen Yishui smiled and said, "Okay."
