Xiao Banxia and Li Zhanting have been talking to each other for a year, although Xiao Banxia's parents have not met Li Zhanting, but they don't know much about him.

Li Zhanting is definitely a rare talent among his peers, and the two of them are still very satisfied with their daughter's boyfriend, and meeting is just going through the motions.

Xiao Yao and Li Zhanting are good friends, and they are naturally happy to see the two of them plan to get married, "I also plan to go back to Hanzhou in the next two days, and it just so happens that we will take my special plane back together." When are you going to get married? Do you have a plan?"

Li Zhanting said: "We must also ask for the opinions of our uncles and aunts, if my uncles and aunts do not object, we are ready to set the time of marriage during the eleventh day." ”

"My parents have been looking forward to holding their grandson for a long time, and if you can set the wedding time for May Day, they will definitely be even happier. Xiao Yao quipped.

"It's really not good during the May Day period, the time is too rushed. Li Zhanting shook his head and said.

In fact, Li Zhanting personally wants to get married early, but he will definitely wait until he meets Xiao Banxia's parents to determine the marriage date, in this case, May Day will definitely not be able to catch up.

"I don't want to get married so early, I think it's too early to get married during the eleventh day. Zhan Ting and I are still young, it is the time to fight for a career, there is really no need to get married so early, if I have to decide, I think it will not be too late to get married after I am 30 years old. Xiao Banxia was a little resentful of getting married.

She was originally a career-oriented woman, and she got married before the age of 30, which she felt was too early. If she did what she wanted, she would have to hold a wedding in two years. But Li Zhanting's parents, including Li Zhanting himself, are very enthusiastic about marriage, she has already decided that Li Zhanting is her lifelong partner, and she is not too opposed.

"I also think it's better for you to get married early, and you don't want to think about how much older my brother-in-law is than you, if you wait until you're 30 years old to get married, then you can't make your brother-in-law's parents anxious. Now that you have identified my brother-in-law, what are you procrastinating, get married early, and live an enviable life as a young couple, how beautiful it is. ”

Xiao Banxia glanced at his younger brother, "You dislike me for being an eyesore for you, if you don't say that my mother's family is unreliable, I haven't become an old girl yet, so I will be disliked by my family." ”

"It's good that you have self-knowledge, my parents and I are looking forward to you getting married as soon as possible. In order to send you out as soon as possible, your parents have already prepared a dowry for you. ”

"Since they are all looking forward to me getting married soon, then I have to take a handful, if the dowry is less, I don't want to. Xiao Banxia said arrogantly.

At half past ten in the morning of the next day, the group landed at Hanzhou Airport.

Xiao Yao's parents took a day off and waited at home.

At the first sight of Li Zhanting, the husband and wife showed a satisfied look in their eyes.

The two of them had already seen Li Zhanting's photos, and they were naturally satisfied with his appearance, but now that they saw the real person, they were even more satisfied with his calm military temperament.

The husband and wife already knew everything about Li Zhanting's family situation, so after they met, they omitted the part of asking about the family situation, and only asked about the physical condition of Li Zhanting's parents with concern, and asked him if his work was going well.

Li Zhanting answered them one by one with a sincere attitude. After finishing the routine inquiry, he took out the carefully selected gifts and said, "Uncle and aunt, I came in a hurry this time, I prepared two gifts, and I don't know if it suits my uncle and aunt's heart?"

What Li Zhanting handed to Bai Yuzhen was a delicate jewelry box, Bai Yuzhen opened the jewelry box, and there was a pair of jade bracelets inside.

"You kid, how can you buy such an expensive gift?

Although this pair of jade bracelets has not been taken out for careful appreciation, Bai Yuzhen knew at a glance that this pair of jade bracelets was definitely not cheap, and the price of a pair should be at least more than 5 million.

Li Zhanting hurriedly answered: "I have known Banxia for a year, and I have long wanted to visit my uncle and aunt, but unfortunately my time is relatively tight, and the discipline in the army is too strict, so I wanted to visit several times, but I couldn't make it." This pair of jade bracelets is a little bit of my heart, as long as my aunt likes it, it is worth it. ”

"Mom, don't worry about the amount of money or the amount of money, hurry up and appreciate it, and see if you like it or not? This is the gift I picked for you with Zhan Ting. Of course, the money was paid by Zhan Ting himself, and I definitely didn't pay a penny. Xiao Banxia also urged.

"With such an expensive gift, how can Zhan Ting be able to pay alone?" Bai Yuzhen patted Xiao Banxia's arm, "You are also my daughter, I can't be filial and filial, I can't be filial and filial, and I am embarrassed to pay half of the money, and I have wronged you?"

Xiao Banxia hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't want to pay, it's not that your son-in-law is lucky to make a small fortune, he burned it." ”

"How can you speak, this is? If you can't speak, you just shut your mouth for me!" Bai Yuzhen glared at her daughter fiercely.

"I did make a fortune some time ago, but luck doesn't count, how can there be so many lucky things in this world. It was Xiao Yao who saw that a few of us were too poor and wanted us to achieve financial freedom, so he took us to earn some money by the way. If it weren't for Xiao Yao's chance, I would honestly tell you, I really can't afford such an expensive gift. Li Zhanting told the truth.

"That's your luck, even if Xiao Yao takes you to make money, it's definitely not risk-free at all, it's good to be able to achieve financial freedom. Your job is special, so it's better to focus on your work and achieve financial freedom, so you don't have to worry about life at home. Bai Yuzhen said understandingly.

As he spoke, Xiao Banxia had already taken the jade bracelet out of the jewelry box and stuffed it into Bai Yuzhen's hand, "Mom, hurry up and appreciate it carefully, I don't know much about jade bracelets, this pair of jade bracelets cost a total of 5.3 million, shouldn't I have been deceived?"

"Then I'll take a good look. Bai Yuzhen picked up the jade bracelet and looked at it carefully.

The jade bracelet in her hand is pure and sweet, full of green, water-colored, like a delicate branch and young leaves, showing a beautiful spring color, rich and delicate texture, and the bracelet is a round strip of sufficient material, as crystal clear as candy.

The most feminine and delicate jade object is the bracelet. Bracelets, also known as kushins or rings, symbolize auspiciousness and peace, and are believed to have the meaning of warding off evil spirits and obtaining good luck. Bai Yuzhen especially likes to collect jade bracelets, it is because she knows that she has such a hobby, so Li Zhanting deliberately chose such a gift.

The bracelet in Bai Yuzhen's hand with a round outer circle, a round inner circle, and a round bar is also known as a blessing bracelet, which is the most traditional and classic bracelet shape.

The production and polishing of the bracelet requires that the whole piece of jade is free of cracks, and the size is large enough and thick enough, so such a high-quality bracelet can be described as rare and hard to find.

Bright and calm colors, delicate and dense textures, translucent transparency, shimmering luster, and tough hardness and toughness are all on display in this bracelet.

The round and complete shape reflects the pursuit of the ancients for endless life, its shape is round, the arc surface is smooth and plump, without too much carving, stretching freely to show the rich and bright green, exuding a complete and inclusive connotation, showing the noble atmosphere, beautiful and elegant.

The thickness of this bracelet should be 10 mm, it is already the best of the same kind of jade bracelet, the jadeite texture used is pure and delicate, the water is good, the whole body is full of emerald, clear and bright like ice, wearing on the wrist has a sense of ice clear jade, pretty and delicate, more classical beauty of the charm and grace, the more Bai Yuzhen looks at the more like, it is simply love.

"This pair of bracelets is so beautiful, the color is bright and pure, plus the texture of the ice species, you can buy it at a price of 5.3 million, you have taken a big advantage. Now the price of high-quality jadeite remains high, even if you buy raw materials to find someone to carve, the cost price of such a pair of bracelets should be more than 5 million. You must have sold this bracelet from a friend, right?"

Bai Yuzhen has liked jadeite jade since she was young, and she couldn't afford to buy it too expensive before, and her cognition of jadeite jade can only be regarded as rough. Since Xiao Yao's career, this hobby has developed into an expert-level level.

"Mom, you have a great eye, you can see it really accurately!" Mom's ability to appreciate jadeite made Xiao Banxia sincerely admire, "This pair of jade bracelets did change hands from a friend, that person is a member of the Easy Club, and his family is engaged in jewelry and jade, knowing that Zhan Ting is Xiao Yao's brother-in-law, he said that he only charged us a cost price, it seems that this person really did not cheat us." ”

"You owe a lot of favors, people say it's the cost price, and that's the cost price a few years ago. If you buy raw materials now and find someone to carve, how can such a pair of jade bracelets be 10 million smaller. Bai Yuzhen deliberately pointed this out.

"If that's the case, I'll really have to find a chance to make up for it in the future. Xiao Banxia really didn't know that Xiao Yao's friend had made such a big profit.

Xiao Yao said: "Sister, you don't have to worry about this matter, I'll give him a VIP card for Xunwei Zhai in the future." ”

Seeing Bai Yuzhen put the bracelet back in the jewelry box, Xiao Zhenshan said: "The jewelry that Zhan Ting bought you is so valuable, it seems that this gift given to me must not be bad." ”

"This should be a painting, right?" asked Xiao Zhenshan.

"I heard Banxia say that you are studying calligraphy and painting during this time, especially Pan Tianshou's works, so I specially chose a painting of Pan Tianshou's "Boundless Spring", you can appreciate it and see if it is genuine?"

Pan Tianshou is a native of Ninghai, Zhejiang, and a master of Chinese painting. In his early years, he learned calligraphy and seal carving from Jing Hengyi, and sketched with Uncle Li. After 1923, he successively served as a professor at the Shanghai Art School, the Xinhua Art School, the Hangzhou Art School, and the president of the National Hangzhou Art School.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as vice president and president of the Zhejiang Jiang Academy of Fine Arts, chairman of the National Artists Association, chairman of the Zhejiang Jiang Branch, and was appointed as an honorary academician of the Soviet Academy of Arts. He is the author of "History of Chinese Painting", "Lectures on Chinese Calligraphy", "Discussion on the Governance of Seals", "Research on Gu Kaizhi", "Examination of Chinese Painting Academy", and "Pan Tianshou's Paintings".

Mr. Pan Tianshou is admired by the world for his unique character and art, and has made outstanding contributions and profound influence on traditional Chinese painting, and can be called a unique master of Chinese painting in the past hundred years.

Pan Tianshou's overall artistic style can be summarized as "four victories", that is, the painting wins with wonders, wins with dangers, wins with brushwork, and wins with profound gold and stone kung fu.

He used his profound traditional skills to develop traditional Chinese painting, which reflected the insight that painting is different from the text of nature, and his flower and bird painting attainments are the highest.

He has broken the convention in the painting of flowers and birds, the composition is novel and magnificent, the layout dares to "create risks" and "break dangers", the pen is vigorous and vigorous, and the ink pays attention to the contrast between black and white, and the flowers and birds in his pen are full of vitality.

He also skillfully combined flower and bird painting with landscape painting, and integrated the spiritual connotation and emotional characteristics of traditional freehand since the Ming and Qing dynasties.

And the "Boundless Spring" in front of me is a masterpiece of Pan Tianshou's flower and bird paintings.

Looking closely at this painting of flowers and birds by Pan Tianshou, it can be seen that the brush in the painting is soft and strong. From the point of view of his dominant requirements for the formal beauty of the pen, he prefers the robustness and heaviness of the lines, the simplicity, conciseness, jerkiness, spicy, and clumsiness, and the beauty of the backbone, which is the first characteristic of his pen.

The beauty of Pan Tianshou's pen is reflected through three factors: strength, rigidity and potential. Secondly, in the use of ink and color, he advocated clarity and clarity. He uses ink rough and spicy, and likes to use burnt, thick, splashed, broken, and accumulated ink, so that it is rich and lush, and the layers are changeable.

Pan Tianshou's paintings are blank, so he pays attention to the contrast in unity with color, and uses more transparent colors, so that the color does not hinder the ink and the ink does not hinder the color. Usually cyan, brown is the main color and appropriately mixed with vermilion, and strives to be elegant and ancient, fresh and bright.

Xiao Zhenshan has been studying flower and bird painting for nearly two years, although the time is still short, but because of Xiao Yao's guidance from time to time, there are still some levels.

Although his pen power is a little worse, his appreciation of flower and bird paintings has approached the expert level, especially Pan Tianshou's flower and bird paintings, he spent the most time, so he has the deepest attainments.

After appreciating it for a quarter of an hour, Xiao Zhenshan exclaimed: "This painting is better than the one you gave me last time, I will definitely copy a few more paintings another day, and when I learn the essence of this painting, the level of flower and bird painting will definitely be improved a little." ”。

"Hobbies are the best teachers, your current learning state is very good, I believe that in a few years, you will deserve to join the Provincial Painters Association. Xiao Yao has always been very supportive of his father's learning calligraphy and painting at his age.

Xiao Zhenshan was very satisfied with his son's evaluation, "When do you think I am qualified to join the Provincial Painters Association, I will accept the invitation." Now my level is still a little worse, joining the Provincial Painters Association is purely indiscriminate, and I still won't lose this person to you. ”
