The gallery of the Dihai Museum is like a palace made of round arched wood, with black and white lattice floors, snow-white walls, and winding corridors.

On the display board in front of the gallery, the theme of this exhibition is written.

Xu Xiangbei and Shen Congru walked into the gallery and admired the various paintings on the walls, each with a different artistic conception and a completely different feeling.

While admiring the beautiful paintings, Xu Xiangbei also observed the crowd.

The people who visited the exhibition gathered in groups of three or five, and they whispered about it, as if a little louder noise would affect the harmony of the whole gallery.

The name of the author is marked next to the painting, as well as a description of the author's identity.

Xu Xiangbei saw three splashed ink landscape paintings inscribed by Su Xinyun, which were elegant and fresh, with far-reaching artistic conception, which was definitely much more exquisite than the oil painting on the office wall.

Ten minutes later, in the middle of the gallery, Xu Xiangbei saw Su Xinyun, she was wearing a blue faux gauze skirt, like a blooming blue begonia flower, she was discussing something with others with great interest.

Xu Xiangbei walked in front of her and stretched out his hand with a smile: "Su Xinyun, hello." ”

Hearing Xu Xiangbei shouting her name, Su Xinyun was stunned at first, and she quickly recognized Xu Xiangbei.

She always thought that Xu Xiangbei was her brother's friend, and shook hands with Xu Xiangbei with a smile: "I know you, you are my brother's friend, Xu Xiangbei, I don't remember the name wrong." ”

Xu Xiangbei's voice was infinitely magnetic, a little low, and he said with a smile: "Miss Su, you have a really good memory. I just saw your landscape painting, and it is so beautiful, just like a fairyland, as beautiful as your people. ”

Hearing Xu Xiangbei praising his paintings and praising himself for being beautiful, Su Xinyun had a flush on her cheeks, tucked her loose hair behind her ears, and replied shyly: "Thank you for your compliment, those three landscape paintings are also my favorite works." ”

Xu Xiangbei saw a picture of a group of cats hanging on the wall in front of him, he counted them carefully, there were a total of nine cats of different shapes and colors, they were playing on the grass, chasing, lively and cute, vivid.

Although he didn't know anything about art, he was fascinated by this picture of a group of cats: "This picture of a group of cats is really interesting. ”

Su Xinyun smiled: "You really have an eye, this is not the work of a young painter, but the old work of a well-known painter, and the director of the museum specially took it out and exhibited it with our paintings, in order to drive the popularity of this exhibition." This painting is called the Nine Cats, and I heard that it is worth more than 10 million. ”

Xu Xiangbei sighed lightly: "It's so valuable, no wonder Shen Congru pays so much attention to art exhibitions, art really needs to be measured by money." ”

Shen Congru walked over and saw Xu Xiangbei and Su Xinyun together, and couldn't help but light up his eyes: "I thought you were lost, it turns out that you are chatting with beautiful women here." ”

Xu Xiangbei introduced Shen Congru with a smile: "This is the beautiful painter Su Xinyun, and this is Shen Congru and Shen Gongzi, the young president of Dihai Commercial Bank. ”

"Miss Su, I've seen your works over there, the paintings are very beautiful, I want to collect your works, let's make a price." ”

Su Xinyun smiled faintly: "I'm sorry, Shen Gongzi, my paintings are different from other people's paintings, I just took them out for exhibition, they are not for sale." ”

Hearing Su Xinyun say that the three splashed ink landscape paintings were not for sale, Shen Congru looked disappointed: "It's a pity, those few splashed ink landscape paintings are really far-reaching, with everyone's demeanor, I am willing to pay a high price for the collection, Miss Su think about it again." ”

Su Xinyun still shook her head tactfully, saying that she would not sell her paintings: "Thank you Shen Gongzi for your favor, I'm sorry, they really don't sell." ”

Seeing that Shen Congru ran into a wall, Xu Xiangbei teased him: "It seems that the theory that your artwork needs to be measured by money will not work with Miss Su." ”

Shen Congru was not discouraged, but said with a smile: "Since Miss Su is unwilling to sell paintings to me, let's enjoy my face at noon and eat together?"

Su Xinyun did not immediately agree to Shen Congru's invitation, but looked at Xu Xiangbei, her eyes wandering, as if she was asking for Xu Xiangbei's opinion.

Knowing that Su Xinyun met Shen Congru for the first time and was wary of him, Xu Xiangbei smiled lightly: "I am good friends with Shen Gongzi, how about the three of us have a meal together at noon?"

Su Xinyun agreed to Shen Congru's invitation: "Okay, my teacher is here, I'm going to discuss some painting problems with him, but I'm missing." ”

Looking at Su Xinyun's slender back, Shen Congru looked forward to it: "The figure is really good, it is also a beautiful thing to be able to fly with her." ”

Xu Xiangbei continued to hit Shen Congru and said with a smile: "It's a pity that this beauty is not interested in your money. ”

"She almost refused my invitation just now, did you use some kind of spell, why do so many beautiful girls trust you but don't trust me. ”

Xu Xiangbei cracked his mouth and smiled: "No way, brother, you are born beautiful." ”

Shen Congru made a retching gesture: "It's really unreasonable, you are so disgusting, those beauties still treat you as a treasure, it's too unreasonable." Where are we going for lunch? Do you want to pick a fancy restaurant?"

Xu Xiangbei said calmly: "No, a girl like Su Xinyun is not attracted by money, and her requirements for food are not too high, you go to a high-end restaurant, she doesn't like it, it's better to go to my Dijing Pavilion, there, she will feel more comfortable." ”

Dijing Pavilion Biyun Hall.

Su Xinyun also brought a girl named Lan'er over, although she is not as beautiful as Su Xinyun, she is also a well-known young painter, sunny and lively.

Lan'er is obviously better at communication than Su Xinyun, telling jokes, talking about fashion, talking about ideals, and being proficient in all kinds of art, in comparison, Su Xinyun talks a lot less.

As Xu Xiangbei guessed, although Dijing Pavilion is not a big hotel, the decoration is ordinary and warm, which makes her feel very comfortable.

Xu Xiangbei unconsciously chatted with her about the Su family.

It turned out that in the Su family, Su Xinyun was an alternative existence, she didn't like the family business, she went to learn to paint, and pursued personality ideals, which made her parents very annoyed, in their hearts, Su Xinyun was not a good child.

In addition, the Su family is a traditional family, and the patriarchal thinking is very serious, Su Xinyun felt lonely and indifferent at home, so she moved out of her home and has been living at Yenching University.

She is a girl who likes to be quiet and simple, and painting can make her feel calm and forget all the troubles of the world.

Usually she teaches painting at Yenching University, and in her free time, she takes a paintbrush and a painting clip and finds a scenic place to sit all day.

When she picked up the brush, she felt that she was one with nature, and she was not painting the landscape in the eyes of ordinary people, but her own life.
