Xin Qing smiled and said, "Uncle Dai, my dad said this is your thing." ”

"Mine?"

The eyes behind the glasses widened, Dai Yongxin may be old, and he can't remember that he still has something in Xin Wenhua's place.

He cautiously opened the box, and there was an oval seal inside, and when he picked it up, it was engraved with the words "Deshui Mountain Fun" in the form of a yang engraved Han seal.

This is a corner stamp, and the traditional custom often uses stamps to show that it is trustworthy and solemn and responsible.

Painting a bell seal has aesthetic value, in addition to indicating that the work is a sign painted by someone.

The black traces on the paper on a white background are stamped with a delicate crimson stamp, which can make the picture shine brightly.

Therefore, domestic calligraphers and painters often have various seals, just like the seal on the box of Zhao Ming's case, all in order to better produce different artistic effects on the works.

But this is only a corner medal, compared with the name medal, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, and it cannot be used as a charcoal in the snow.

However, when Dai Yongxin saw this seal, the corners of his eyes were still slightly filled with tears, and he recalled: "I didn't expect that my last seal was actually in Lao Xin's." ”

Xin Qing asked, "Yes, Uncle Dai, why is your seal with my father?"

"When we were young, we both had a pride in each other, and neither looked down on anyone. Dai Yongxin put the seal back in the box and said slowly: "I look down on him for being a photorealist, and he doesn't look down on me for scribbling on rice paper." Before your father left Beijing, the two of us made a bet to draw a painting separately and let the Guan brothers and sisters in the capital and Zhao Ming be the referees. ”

"And then?"

"If Lao Xin loses, he will give me one of his favorite brushes. Dai Yongxin smiled: "If I lose, I'll give him a seal." It's also a gentleman's bet. ”

When the two heard this, they finally understood, and Dai Yongxin continued: "The result is that only the boss chose my painting, and Guan Yushu and Zhao Ming both chose your father." ”

After Lin Dingqiang heard the news, he thought about it in his heart.

Guan Yushu has always liked Western oil paintings, which can be seen from the baroque layout of her horse farm and reception room, while Guan Nushan has always liked the quintessence of the country, and Dai Yongxin must have not run.

The rest of Zhao Ming was a little incomprehensible.

In the case of Xin Wenhua and Dai Yongxin's equal strength, Zhao Ming, who writes for a living, should be more inclined to Dai Yongxin, who paints Chinese paintings, but the result of the vote is that Xin Wenhua won, and the only explanation is that Zhao Ming already knew that Xin Wenhua was leaving Beijing for Yangcheng, so he chose Xin Wenhua in order to have a good relationship with this future neighbor.

However, it has been an unchanging truth since ancient times that literati are light, and no one looks down on anyone, but there is still a silent respect in my heart.

The painting that may have been pressed under the warehouse of Guan Nushan was painted by Dai Yongxin that day, and the oil painting that Lin Xin and the others saw for the first time in Guan Yushu's reception room was the work of Xin Wenhua.

"There is no such thing as high or low art. Xin Qing said sensibly: "It's just that everyone's aesthetics are different." ”

"Hahahaha. Dai Yongxin laughed heroically, "You just speak better than your father! You sit down first, I'll go in and help, and you can eat later!"

Dai Yongxin walked towards the small western-style building, took away the lost seal, and left Lin Dingqiang and Xin Qing behind.

"Hey, your dad really didn't admit defeat when he was young!" Lin Dingqiang quipped.

Xin Qing tilted her head proudly, "I also inherited my dad, and I don't admit defeat in anything!"

"I know. ”

"You know?"

......

About half an hour later, a table of delicious home-cooked meals was served, Dai Yongxin took a bottle of red wine and a bottle of white wine from the wine cellar, and before he moved his chopsticks, he filled a glass to Lin Dingqiang.

"Come, Xiaolin, let's go first!" Dai Yongxin was in a good mood, "Take this place as your home, when the two of you get married, don't forget my Uncle Dai who is far away in Maitreya!"

Lin Dingqiang picked up the wine glass, while Xin Qing picked up the teacup, "We respect you, Uncle Dai." ”

After the three of them clinked glasses, Sun Dan whispered on the side: "Lao Dai, you have to drink less, don't let down the dishes I made." ”

"I look at Sister Dan's craftsmanship as soon as I see it. Xin Qingmei smiled and said: "Especially this papaya crucian carp, it is delicious at first glance!"

Sun Dan gave the meat on the belly of the fish to Xin Qing with chopsticks. While laughing, he said, "Then you can eat more." By the way, how many days are you going to play at Maitreya?"

"It's not a decision. Lin Dingqiang replied: "When Uncle Guan finishes releasing the pigeons, he should stay for two or three days." ”

As soon as Dai Yongxin heard that Guan Nushan was coming, but he didn't come to his house, he instantly felt that he was being released as a pigeon, "Boss Guan is here, why didn't he come over?"

"Uncle Guan drank too much last night," Lin Dingqiang lied, "and he drank the kind of distilled wine in my winery, and he hasn't woken up yet! ”

Dai Yongxin nodded suspiciously, and Sun Dan muttered: "People have their own arrangements! Why should we be so serious! It's a big deal that we go to Mr. Lin's winery to see him, won't it be over? Why are you still so stingy!"

"Where am I stingy?" Dai Yongxin didn't care about the presence of the two juniors, and after a glass of wine, his voice raised an octave, "I'm famous for being generous!"

"Yes, yes!" Sun Danlian nodded, "You are the most generous, I'm stingy." ”

"That's right!" Dai Yongxin stopped Sun Dan's shoulder with a grin, "Xiaolin, don't be surprised, Dandan and I just love to mix, this is also a necessary condiment in life!"

Xin Qing said enviously: "Uncle Dai, your relationship is really good. ”

Dai Yongxin and Sun Dan glanced at each other and said, "Since we have chosen to be together, the emotional matter will slowly heat up, but it will also slowly become colder." Only by grasping the way to get along, tolerating each other's bad temper, and restraining your own bad temper, it is not a big deal to quarrel with each other. ”

"That's the experience of people who have come before. Sun Dan added on the side: "I hope it can help you." ”

Lin Dingqiang recalled that the only time he quarreled with Xin Qing was at Huo Jinwei's house on Hong Kong Island, but that quarrel had irreparable consequences.

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Dingqiang felt very sorry for Xin Qing in his heart. The trip that was promised before departure has become a personal entertainment, which seems to have deviated from the original intention.

Although Xin Qing didn't say it, Lin Dingqiang couldn't pretend not to know.

He put down his chopsticks and said to Xin Qing, "Why don't we leave after eating?"

Xin Qing was suddenly stunned, "Where are you going?"

"Dali, let's go to Huan'er Lake. Lin Dingqiang said with a smile: "Uncle Dai and Sister Dan also said that life needs condiments, so let's go and blow the wind of Erhai Lake, look at the snow in Cangshan, and spice up the lives of the two of us!"
