Lin Yang's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He saw the calculation in Huang Zonghan's heart.

Although Lin Yang didn't want to make trouble, it didn't mean that he was afraid of Huang Zonghan, and it didn't mean that he would tolerate regression when Huang Zonghan provoked him.

You're trying to disgrace me, aren't you? I'm sorry, but I won't let you do that.

"Do you want to take the school exam for me?" Lin Yang walked to "Lady Fluttering Butterfly" with a smile, and didn't look at Huang Zonghan, just squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the expressive painting in front of him.

"Hmph, pretend. Huang Zonghan snorted coldly in his heart.

Although he had heard that Lin Yang had good attainments in Xiangshi, he did not think that Lin Yang could also have a high level in calligraphy and painting appreciation. After all, the appreciation of calligraphy and painting requires not only eyesight, but also rich knowledge of calligraphy and painting and history. These things need to be accumulated over many years, and they cannot be cultivated in a day or two, a year or two.

I have to say that Huang Zonghan really guessed correctly. Although Lin Yang has a little attainment in calligraphy, he does not have too deep research in painting.

However, although Lin Yang doesn't know how to paint, there is a person who knows how to paint by his side...... No, it's a ghost who knows how to draw

As a famous prostitute who has left a glamorous name in history, Chen Yuanyuan has been smart since he was a child, and he can understand poetry and songs. Her attainments in calligraphy and painting are even more of a standard, and she is known as 'the double masterpiece of color and art, and her fame moves the north and south of the country.

At this moment, such a talented woman was standing beside Lin Yang, helping him appreciate this expressive "Lady Fluttering Butterfly".

It's just that, except for Lin Yang, none of these people present could see Chen Yuanyuan. In the eyes of everyone, Lin Yang was the only one standing in front of this "Lady Fluttering Butterfly".

After waiting for a few minutes, Huang Zonghan said with a smile: "How about it, this friend, you have been looking at it for so long, can you see who made this painting? If you don't see it, it doesn't hurt to say it directly, don't keep standing here and delay everyone's time."

His words were very funny, which made most of the people in the water pavilion laugh along. However, there are also a small number of people who heard the ridicule hidden in his seemingly joking words.

Xi Mengyao was one of them, a trace of displeasure flashed on her face, and she was about to open her mouth to refute Huang Zonghan for defending Lin Yang. However, as soon as she opened her mouth and before she could speak, Lin Yang had already taken the lead and said with a smile: "This painting is made by Tang Yin and Tang Bohu, the master of Liuru Monk and Peach Blossom Nunnery. ”

"Tang Bohu's paintings?"

There was another sensation in the water pavilion.

Many of the people who came here today to attend Xi Mengyao's birthday banquet were from the antique jade circle. For antique calligraphy and painting, especially the works of famous artists, they are also quite interested. Immediately, several well-known collectors of calligraphy and painting got up and came to this "Lady Fluttering Butterfly", and looked at and appreciated it carefully.

"This undulating line, this twisting and turning brushwork, is exactly Tang Bohu's style"

"This painting is purely sketched in ink, but it is not simple. Because of the changes in the thickness and intensity of the ink, this painting has a sense of hierarchy and rich tones.

These people who praised loudly were all experts in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting in Jinguancheng and Xishu Province. They unanimously agreed that this "Lady Fluttering Butterfly" is Tang Yin's authentic handiwork.

Huang Zonghan glanced at Lin Yang and said secretly: "I didn't expect to be blinded by your kid." Hmph, you're in luck. However, although it didn't make you embarrassed in front of everyone, it was a good feeling that you were able to show the value of my birthday present...... Now, I'm really looking forward to it, what is your birthday gift to Meng Yao?However, with my jewel in front of you, no matter what you give, I'm afraid you will be despised and looked down upon, right?hahahaha......"

In the crowd, there are knowledgeable calligraphy and painting experts, who are sighing: "The price of Tang Bohu's paintings has always been high, the lowest is tens of millions of yuan, and the most expensive "Lushan Waterfall View" has been sold for 5. The sky-high price of 900 million US dollars in this "Lady Fluttering Butterfly", the characters are expressive and vivid, which can be called the representative work of Tang Bohu's figure painting, and its value is not low...... Give a painting worth more than 10 million as a birthday gift, this Huang Zonghan is really generous."

Some people even sighed: "The ancients had a daughter to buy a charming city, and today Huang Zonghan gave Xi Mengyao tens of millions of famous paintings, which is very ancient." ”

After figuring out the origin and value of this "Lady Fluttering Butterfly", Xi Mengyao's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly refused to accept it: "Brother Huang, your gift is too valuable, I can't ask for it." ”

Huang Zonghan didn't listen to her, and after slowly rolling up the "Lady Fluttering Butterfly" and putting it back in the wooden box, he gave it to her: "Meng Yao, this is a piece of my heart, don't shirk it." Although this painting is precious, in my heart, it is not as precious as your smile. As long as you can accept it with a smile, I'll be satisfied. ”

Xi Mengyao refused to accept it, Huang Zonghan wanted to send it, and the two were at a stalemate.

"Since it's your heart, Meng Yao, you can accept it. When Zonghan celebrates his birthday in the future, you can give him a gift of the same value in return, won't you be fine?"

Zuihou still persuaded Xi Yuanyao to reluctantly accept this expensive birthday gift.

After giving the birthday gift, Huang Zonghan did not rush to leave the table, but stood next to Xi Mengyao, looked at Lin Yang with a smug gaze, and said with a smile: "Next, it's your turn to give Meng Yao a birthday gift, right? I heard that you are very capable in Xiangshi, and you still have one or two rare treasures in your hand? I don't know, what kind of treasure will you give to Meng Yao? I'm really looking forward to it."

Hearing this, Zhou Liang was immediately annoyed, and scolded in a low voice: "This smiling tiger clearly wants to see the third brother's jokes."

Zhang Shaojie's face also sank, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This bastard, he dares to look at my second uncle everywhere, if I don't fix him, I won't be surnamed Zhang."

Liu Xiangcheng had a bitter look on his face: "It's over, it's over, this kid's gift to Meng Yao is so precious and valuable, if the third child gives an ordinary gift, won't he be completely compared to him?"

Ma Wanwen sighed: "This kid gave him a famous painting of Tang Bohu worth tens of millions. In such a situation, no matter what the third child sends, he will be compared to him, right? Unless the third child gives something more precious than Tang Bohu's paintings......

Even these friends of Lin Yang are not optimistic about him, and others are even less optimistic.

Under such circumstances, Lin Yang still had a calm expression. He smiled and pulled out a small jewelry box from his coat pocket.

"Tang Bohu's paintings are indeed precious. But the gift I gave to Meng Yao was no worse than it. ”
