Coming out of the ancestor's room and on the way to the study, Ding Yun communicated with Li Yundao while observing the young son-in-law of the Ruan family. To tell the truth, she voted against the crazy girl when she had a family meeting before she got married, she is a staunch feminist, and it seems to her that such a thing happened in the modern world, which is a big joke in her opinion. But in this matter, the ancestors made a final decision. This is the case with the Ruan family, and from the moment she marries, this feudal patriarchy is like a tight spell that makes her uncomfortable, which is the root cause of the friction that often occurs between herself and her mother-in-law, who enjoys a good reputation in China's financial circles.

Ding Yun's study is not big, but the decoration and layout are very exquisite. Perhaps because the academic basis of her research is Western liberal economics, even the study has a strong Western Renaissance color. Ding Yun saw Li Yundao staring at an oil painting on the wall, and asked with a smile: "I heard that you have quite a lot of attainments in Chinese painting and calligraphy, so you should be no stranger to oil painting, right?"

Li Yundao shook his head with a smile and said, "It's just that I know a little bit about the skin." ”

Ding Yun seemed to have the thoughts of the young man in front of him for the entrance examination, and pointed to the classic copied by the famous artist and said, "Tell me, how about this painting?"

Li Yundao smiled shyly and said, "I only understand a little, auntie, don't embarrass me." ”

Ding Yun smiled: "It's okay, tell me your opinion, a friend asked for 20 million yuan to buy this painting, but I didn't agree." ”

Li Yundao got up, walked to the copy of "The Slaughter of the Innocents" on the wall, stood and stared for a moment before turning around and laughing: "Rubens's "The Massacre of the Innocents" is the only painting that has been confirmed by experts to be made in the 16th century but is still in the 18th or 19th century. If I'm not mistaken, the original painting sold for $76.7 million at Sotheby's in 2002 and should now be kept at the Ontario Museum in Canada. The focus of this painting is to express the complex and diverse human feelings of violence, cruelty, despair, sadness and maternal love. Rubens was a humanist painter of religious mythology, and one critic has said that 'although he is clothed in a layer of Catholic oil, he is a complete pagan in his mind'. Your painting is copied, from the point of view of painting techniques and techniques, it should have gone through the precipitation of the 18th and 19th centuries, and the brushwork has become mature, so from the perspective of painting skills, it is still above Rubens back then. But unfortunately, a painting is like a person, the most important thing is not the appearance but the soul, which is precisely the essence of Rubens's paintings. The person who copied this painting was supposed to be a young man, no more than thirty years old, and a very devout Catholic, so he did not feel the rebellion and strangeness of Rubens's painting at all. ”

Ding Yun looked at Li Yundao in surprise, if it weren't for the fact that her father had told her about the past of this oil painting when he gave it to her, she would almost think that Li Yundao was talking nonsense, but what Li Yundao just said was almost no different from what his father had already driven to the Crane Immortal. Who is the father? It was a generation of masters who soaked together with masters such as Zhang Daqian and Xu Beihong all day long, and the young man in his early thirties in front of him actually had the same eyesight as the master, which made Ding Yun have to look at the little descendants of the Wang family in front of him differently.

"Auntie, this is just my family's words, don't take it to heart. It's not that this painting is bad, but there is a certain gap with the original work I saw in the magazine, so I feel this feeling. Li Yundao and Ding Yun's face changed slightly, thinking that what he had just said had annoyed this aunt who was not too good-tempered in the Ruan family, so he hurriedly relieved himself with haha.

Ding Yun shook his head and sighed, "You are right. My father also commented on this painting back then, in fact, this painting was bought by my father for 100 francs when he was studying in France, when my father was in his prime, and Xu Beihong also had close contacts, it is said that Xu Beihong also commented on this painting back then, saying that this painting will definitely be worth a thousand gold in the future. However, the comments of the two masters are not much different from what you just mentioned. ”

Li Yundao said modestly: "I just feel it, compared with Master Ding and Master Xu's attainments in oil painting, I can't even count half a bucket of water." ”

Ding Yun's face was much kinder than just now: "I heard that the Song Gongbi Chinese painting that you lost in your hand back then shocked Tang Lao of the Chinese Painting Academy to want to directly receive you as a closed disciple, it seems that the rumors are true! Ding Yun knows very well that in modern society, there are too few young people who can be both civil and military, and the young people in front of him can not only fight bandits and terrorists, but also be eight high.

Li Yundao smiled shyly: "Auntie, to be honest, I haven't been able to react to this matter until now." Auntie, I know that for the final decision of the three old people, many elders still have different opinions, which can be understood, such an excellent girl, growing up to such a big age, the elders have paid a lot of effort. ”

Li Yundao smiled shyly: "Auntie, to be honest, I haven't been able to react to this matter until now." Auntie, I know that for the final decision of the three old people, many elders still have different opinions, which can be understood, such an excellent girl, growing up to such a big age, the elders have paid a lot of effort, there is no reason for me to be a hairy boy to get a big advantage. It's just that Auntie, this kind of thing is a very complicated thing, and I can't guarantee anything else, but what I can do is to wholeheartedly support the crazy girl's career and dreams, and give her a warm harbor when she is sleepy and tired. And all those who want to hurt her, before they succeed, must ask me about the knives and guns in my hand. ”

In Ding Yun's understanding, this ridiculous marriage is completely a combination of political interests, if the Ruan family, which lacks the mainstay, needs the Kong, Wang, and Cai families, and now there is another Chen family, it will naturally be better. But she would not agree to this kind of thing to play with the lifelong happiness of the crazy girl, but the ancestor insisted, but the crazy girl herself couldn't extricate herself from the young man in front of her, as one of the most vocal figures in the Ruan family today, Ding Yun had to nod and admit the marriage, even if it seemed to her that this matter was so funny and unpopular in the world.

"I believe that today's words are from your heart, and I believe in your determination and perseverance to protect your small family, but it may take time and facts to convince me to change my mind on this matter. I don't have any opinions about you or the Wang family and the Cai family, but I think that under the current legal system, this decision and this marriage seem a bit absurd. I'm a feminist, so I don't believe that all polygamy brings happiness. Of course, this may be a bias on my part, but nothing has convinced me to correct it. So, boy, don't try to convince me, you need to be genuinely good to the two girls!"

Li Yundao nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, one day in the future, you may change this opinion." ”

Ding Yun smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to that day." By the way, when you come to the house today, it should be as simple as visiting your ancestors, right?"

Li Yundao scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, I originally wanted to ask the ancestor some questions, and that is what I just asked you. As you know, I have been fighting against all kinds of criminals, this is a class struggle, and now I have to take charge of economic construction, which is an internal contradiction among the people, and this is too big a change, and there are some things that I have not yet been able to figure out, so I want to seek some answers from my ancestors. ”

Ding Yun is so smart, how can she not guess Li Yundao's intention: "It's for the free trade zone, right?"

Li Yundao nodded with a smile and shook his head: "Not all, in fact, I didn't expect to meet you, auntie." Xiao Liuzi said that you can't tolerate sand in your eyes, so there are some messy things, and I really don't dare to defile your eyes. Originally, I just wanted to wait for the things in Jiangzhou to be straightened out, and then I came to ask you for some confusion, but I didn't expect to bump into you today. ”

Ding Yun said with a smile: "It's all one family, so there is no need to talk about two families." Jiangzhou has been excluded from the list of free trade zones this time, which is the final conclusion given by the expert group. ”

Li Yundao's heart sank suddenly: "Is it already decided? There is no hope?"

Ding Yun got up with a smile and poured a glass of water for Li Yundao: "Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly." ”

Ding Yun relayed the opinions of the expert group to Li Yundao, and the biggest obstacle was indeed the throughput of Jiangzhou Port and Lunan Port, followed by the communication and coordination between the two provinces. When Ding Yun was relaying, she had been observing the expression of the young man in front of her, and she was surprised to find that Li Yundao was very calm and calm, but after showing undisguised disappointment at the beginning, she immediately adjusted her emotions and entered another positive and full state of struggle. This makes Ding Yun very satisfied, a young man with ideas and bearing, he must have some city government, but he can't lose his sincerity, at least, so far today, Ding Yun is quite satisfied with the performance of this grandson-in-law of the Ruan family.
