Tang An came upstairs to take a bath, changed his clothes, and then said to Nanmao, who was playing games in the room, "I'm out." ”

Nan Mao seemed to be playing the game wholeheartedly, and didn't pay attention to Tang An, so Tang An had to leave by himself.

I didn't do anything wrong, it's my right to find a girlfriend, Tang An thought so, and then left home, in order to save time, Tang An didn't do the subway again, but stopped a taxi and went straight to the destination.

Zhonghai Painting and Calligraphy Institute is located in an elegant and quiet sycamore, surrounded by related calligraphy and painting markets, antique markets, and some personal studios, forming a related industrial cluster.

In the dense shade of trees, interspersed with scattered and antique shops, and people sitting in two or three teahouses or appreciating collections or selling, young people choose such a place for a date, which makes people naturally feel that it should be elegant and rich in connotation.

Tang An and Bai Yunxuan are actually not dating, Tang An is just here to explain some things, but when he saw the familiar plane trees and shops on these two sides, he still had a little emotion and climbed up quietly, as if he turned his head, and he could still see the little girl wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, revealing her slender and tender arms and legs.

Time flies, the street is still this street, the wind that makes the plane trees swaying is still so noisy, but people have grown up, but people's hearts have changed, Tang An sorted out his mood, today is the first day he and Sang Mengmeng are together, and he should be happy anyway.

Tang An and Bai Yunxuan chatted, and then saw her at the gate of the Painting and Calligraphy Academy.

Bai Yunxuan stood under the plane tree, next to a pair of red plum paintings inlaid in the glass window, she was undoubtedly carefully dressed today, wearing a white bare-shouldered suspender chiffon skirt, as elegant and elegant as ever, the lace edge of the skirt added a bit of sexy taste, making her legs even more attractive.

"Tang An. Bai Yunxuan happily waved at Tang An.

Bai Yunxuan was wearing a pair of rattan high heels, and she was very tall, if Tang An hadn't been growing taller recently, it would be a bit stressful to stand with her...... For a girl like Bai Yunxuan, it is difficult for ordinary boys to have the courage to pursue it.

"I'm sorry I'm late. Tang An said apologetically.

"Why did you fall?" Bai Yunxuan lowered her head, looked at Tang An's knees, and then smiled with interest, wondering how Tang An could fall to the point where he had to go home to change his clothes when he was such an adult.

"Freestyle wrestling. Tang An said with a smile.

Bai Yunxuan laughed, "It's good that there is no problem, let's go in, someone just took a picture for my mother to appreciate today, let's take a look together." ”

Tang An nodded and followed in.

Zhang Huarou in the reception room of the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy is still more authoritative, although all kinds of experts do not come to the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy every day like Zhang Huarou to work, but there are a lot of names, the Institute of Painting and Calligraphy has also organized a lot of activities similar to treasure appreciation, this kind of activities are more popular on TV programs, the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting is more authoritative, and there are many people who come to participate, and the treasure of the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy is also well-known in Zhonghai.

After all, many collectors are involved in a wide range of paintings, not only collecting and appreciating paintings and calligraphy, but also some authoritative figures in the research field of various antiques and treasures.

Just like Zhang Huarou, she herself is quite famous in the field of calligraphy and painting, but at the same time she is also a jade collector...... As the wife of the head of Bai, Zhang Huarou is naturally very low-key in the field of jade collection in Zhonghai, but Tang An also saw it when he was a child, Bai Yunxuan has a piece of jade sent by her grandmother, which is said to be an ancient jade from the Song Dynasty, and it is not the kind of dead thing dug up from the tomb, the delicate carving and soft color, now think about it, it is naturally worth a lot, with the auction price of millions in the past two years, the price of that piece of jade is only high.

Tang An and Bai Yunxuan came to the reception room, the reception room is also known as the treasure appreciation room, because most of the treasure appreciation can be simply completed here, in addition to Zhang Huarou in the reception room, there is also a plump woman, probably younger than Zhang Huarou, but the figure of that ******** is much more eye-catching than the district chief's wife.

Seeing Tang An and Bai Yunxuan coming in, Zhang Huarou smiled slightly, motioned for Tang An and Bai Yunxuan to take care of themselves, and then continued to look down at a painting spread on the desk.

Tang An is a layman, and he can only see that this painting is framed, but there is no scroll at both ends, and other than that, this painting exudes a new feeling, and it doesn't seem to be very old.

"What do you think?" Bai Yunxuan was familiar with it, of course she would not be a pure layman like Tang An, and after looking at it, Bai Yunxuan decided to take Tang An for the test.

"This tiger is very powerful. Tang An said in a low voice.

"I ask you how old it is, and who made it. Bai Yunxuan said with disgust.

"Then I don't know. However, the tiger is indeed majestic. Tang An said with some admiration, the layman saw that it was lively, so he would not make some remarks that he didn't know how to pretend to understand.

Hearing the two people whispering, Zhang Huarou smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, and then picked up the magnifying glass next to her and took a closer look again.

The woman didn't seem to care much about what Zhang Huarou could find wrong, turned her head idly, saw Tang An, and then laughed, "The young man is also very powerful." ”

Bai Yunxuan couldn't help frowning, this woman had peach blossoms in her eyes, and she didn't know if it was intentional, giving Bai Yunxuan the feeling that she was teasing Tang An.

Tang An smiled and didn't say anything, this woman turned her head, Tang An felt that her appearance was not as good as her figure, her figure was very good, full of the charm of a mature woman, at least when she was wearing clothes, she felt similar to Yan Lime, but her face was not as moving as Yan Lime, but it was also quite charming, at least no one said that when she was intimate in bed, it was the same with the lights off...... This face is still okay.

Tang An's standards are high, and he doesn't know that in his opinion, these girls he knows can be regarded as beauties, and the vast majority of girls are not as good as them, nor can they be considered beauties.

The woman saw Bai Yunxuan frowning and chuckled, then turned her head to look at her painting.

This is a picture of a tiger descending the mountain, this kind of theme of the painting is actually quite a lot, all the major masters have works, the tiger has always been a common theme in Chinese painting, and it is precisely because of the many paintings that it is more difficult to be praised and recognized, but if you can paint this ordinary subject matter to make people appreciate the achievement, it is also everyone.

"The painting is so well preserved. Zhang Huarou said very suspiciously, looking at the woman, "But there is a kind of taste......

"What kind of taste?" Bai Yunxuan asked curiously, and also looked around the picture scroll.

"Just like a woman, no matter how well she is maintained, even if she looks like a twenty-eight girl, but if she is really old, she still has a different feeling from a girl. Tang An thought for a moment, "That's what you mean?"

"Tang An is right, but we also have to consider the feelings of us elderly women. Zhang Huarou said with a smile, but she didn't really care.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Tang An said with some embarrassment, women care about age very much.

"Of course, what kind of taste can a girl have? A woman needs some years of precipitation before she can taste it. The woman winked at Tang An.

Bai Yunxuan is really a little annoyed, this woman wants to be shameless!

"Let's go outside for a walk, don't disturb Aunt Zhang. Tang An pulled Bai Yunxuan away, and he didn't know where this woman came from, she was really a little too frivolous.

Bai Yunxuan didn't get angry on the spot, she still had this cultivation, but after following Tang An away, she couldn't help but say, "I've never seen such a shameless one." ”

"She is jealous that you are young and beautiful, but she is passing away. Many women who are unwilling to be lonely and too frivolous have reached an age where no one cares about being coquettish, and they naturally have a hostile psychology towards young girls, they always think that Xiao Nizi is just relying on her youth, how is the old lady and so on......" Tang An patted Bai Yunxuan's shoulder, "Don't pay attention to this kind of person." ”

Tang An imitated the woman's tone and spoke, and Bai Yunxuan couldn't help laughing.

Laughing and laughing, Bai Yunxuan looked at Tang An and stopped laughing, just quietly watching him laugh, because it felt very good, which made Bai Yunxuan suddenly think of when she was angry before, when she was unhappy, Tang An always made herself laugh.

Tang An avoided Bai Yunxuan's eyes and took two steps to the side, pondering how to speak.

Bai Yunxuan followed the direction of Tang An's movement, walked over first, and said to Tang An: "You haven't been here for a long time, now the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting has added a collection of young calligraphers and painters, all of which are the works of some young painters, which look more interesting than those flowers, birds, fish and insects." ”

The collection of young calligraphers and painters is naturally not as good as the exhibition hall where the works of the famous artists of the painting and calligraphy academy are placed, and it is slightly smaller, and you will walk through a patio paved with fine sand and bluestone benches to reach the collection hall, which is more modern in design style, and various areas like office lattices are staggered and marked by different creators.

What surprised Tang An was that there were not many works of that kind of abstract style and particularly exaggerated here, and most of the works made people feel a sense of beauty or marvel at the skills of the creators, even from the perspective of Tang An's laypeople.

"Are these authors not well-known at the moment?" Tang An asked.

"Basically, but there is also a famous one who is very famous because he is a student of my grandmother and has a good relationship with my mother, so I also put one of his paintings here...... Outside, his paintings have basically reached seven-figure auction prices. Bai Yunxuan said with great admiration, "When I was a child, I still wanted to be a painter, and my grandmother used him to inspire me." ”

"Look at his paintings. Tang An said with great interest.

Bai Yunxuan hesitated, and then was slightly shy, "It's over there, you can go and see." ”

Bai Yunxuan pointed casually, Tang An was a little puzzled, and walked over there along Bai Yunxuan's finger, but saw a large photo, almost according to the one-to-one ratio of real people, and there was such a photo hanging on the entire wall, which was enough to show that the identity and status of the creator were different from those of others in the archive.

No wonder Bai Yunxuan is shy, don't look at it with him, in the photo is a young woman with no clothes, Fengyun's figure can be called rich breasts and fat buttocks, such a large proportion of magnification, so that Tang An is a little red-faced, but there is no obvious sense of granular pixels in the photo, extremely detailed...... Tang An then thought that this was not a collection of calligraphers and painters, how could there be a photo? After looking at it, he saw the annotation next to it and realized that this was actually a painting, and the author's style was extremely realistic, challenging the camera with the skill of a paintbrush.

The painting is so detailed that even the slightly curled and glowing hairs are clearly depicted, not to mention the faintly visible mysterious garden, making it seem as if the young woman was in front of her in front of her in a mirror.

Tang An didn't look at it much...... He asked himself if he didn't have the kind of mood or disguise that completely regarded the painting as a work of art and admired it calmly.

Walking out, Bai Yunxuan showed a shy smile, but looked at Tang An with some teasing.

"He drew very well, very likely...... However, for people like me who have no artistic appreciation and awareness, I am just amazed by his painting skills. Tang An walked up to Bai Yunxuan and calmly told his opinion.

"That's my grandmother...... My grandmother when she was young. He used some photos and took into account my grandmother's opinion and made some restorations of my grandmother's body. It is a very meaningful thing for a woman to be able to regain her youth. Bai Yunxuan smiled slightly, "It's a pity that neither my mother nor I have inherited my grandmother's good figure." ”

Tang An didn't expect that it was Bai Yunxuan's grandmother! As a teacher, he was willing to let students paint this kind of painting for himself, and sure enough, people in the art circle thought differently from ordinary people, bolder, and less shackled and traditional concepts.

This is also the need for creation, and creation requires bold breakthroughs...... It's good to have a bottom line.

Thinking of Bai Yunxuan's grandmother he saw just now, Tang An was a little embarrassed, and then felt that Zhang Huarou and Bai Yunxuan could also see it, and hung photos of their mother and grandmother here, allowing others to visit, which was difficult for ordinary people to accept.

Tang An sighed slightly, but then thought of himself and Bai Yunxuan, in fact, when two people are together, there are many things that determine whether the two sides can be together for a long time, and differences in many aspects will lead to contradictions, such as the disagreement of the three views, such as the different aesthetics of the two sides, different tastes, whether they are traditional or open, conservative or radical...... Etcetera.

It's like I can't accept my grandmother's naked paintings hanging here for others to see, which means that I and Bai Yunxuan have completely different concepts, and they are accommodating to each other or have no problems when they are in love, but in the long run, it will inevitably become the reason for the outbreak and accumulation of disagreements and contradictions in the future.

Or I just found more reasons why I and Bai Yunxuan were not suitable, a little deliberately.

What's more, the biggest inappropriateness now is because I already have a girlfriend, which can be the only reason, and it is also the most important reason to insist on, when I am single, there is no need to say anything to Bai Yunxuan, but since I have a girlfriend, I can't hide it from Bai Yunxuan...... She's going to be sad, she's going to feel hurt, but there's no way around it.

I have always felt that it is impossible to be with Bai Yunxuan, but now it is even more impossible.

"Artists are artists after all, and even the older generation is more open-minded than us young people. Bai Yunxuan looked at Tang An's thoughtful expression and said cautiously.

"You can't accept it?" Tang An asked suspiciously, Tang An felt that Bai Yunxuan should feel that this was a very ordinary thing.

"How so...... This was my grandmother's personal pursuit, and of course I supported it, but I felt that I couldn't do it. Even if I don't put it out, I still think that the human body is private after all, and it's okay to look at my own paintings, but it's absolutely impossible to hang them out. Bai Yunxuan nodded, and added: "Of course, even if I find a painter to paint for myself, I must be a female painter......

"What if there is no female painter who can paint this? only this student of your grandmother? Judging by his style and skill, it seems that it is not so easy to find a second one if he can paint to his level. Tang An asked again.

Bai Yunxuan looked at Tang An a little strangely, "Then I don't want to paint, why do I have to paint this kind of painting?" Girls have the idea of recording their best time, but daily photography records are fine, and it doesn't have to be like this to record their youth. ”

"I think so too. Tang An touched his head, feeling that he really didn't need to ask Bai Yunxuan, did he really want to hear a reason from Bai Yunxuan's mouth, "Then I have to find him"?

"Let's go, let's go see my mom and the woman. Bai Yunxuan smiled.

Tang An and Bai Yunxuan turned around, walked to the reception room again, and saw that in addition to Zhang Huarou and the woman, there were two old men in their sixties who were studying the painting, Tang An and Bai Yunxuan glanced at each other, and felt that it was better not to go in and disturb.

Zhang Huarou saw Tang An and Bai Yunxuan, put down the magnifying glass in her hand and walked out, the woman also glanced back at Tang An and Bai Yunxuan, but there was no other expression, as if she was seriously answering the questions of the two old men.

"Mom, is this painting so ugly?" Bai Yunxuan asked curiously.

Zhang Huarou nodded, and said with some confusion: "No matter how you look at this painting, it looks like a genuine masterpiece of the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is so well preserved, it is like it was painted in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was sent to us after the ink dried." How can so many years of ancient paintings be preserved so well?"

"Could it be that after the painting was finished, it was sealed and packed, and it was not opened until now?" Tang An said casually.

That's what she said, saying that the painting was a family heirloom and had never been opened. Zhang Huarou smiled and shook her head, obviously she didn't believe much in this statement.

"I don't think this woman is a good person, and her paintings are certainly not real. Bai Yunxuan said a little willfully, after all, in front of her mother, she was always more relaxed and casual.

"It seems difficult to identify old paintings...... Now that science and technology are so developed, is there no way to use scientific and technological means, some precision instruments or something to identify?" Tang An remembered that the content of the carbon 14 dating method was mentioned in high school chemistry.

"You can explain it to Tang An, and by the way, I will test you, I haven't thrown away these things after going abroad for so many years, right?" Zhang Huarou said to Bai Yunxuan.

"Of course not. Bai Yunxuan pouted a little proudly.

"Why is that?" Tang An asked with interest.

"Now for the identification of these antiques, the traditional method is mainly visual inspection and research, so a magnifying glass is still necessary. When you say scientific and technological means, you generally refer to the use of carbon 14 to identify, but this method is generally only suitable for ceramics and bronze, not for calligraphy and painting. Therefore, the current effective method is to test and appraise, and to examine is to verify, with the help of famous family biographies, book records, historical documents, poems and songs, etc. The appraisal of paintings is visual appreciation, and the appraisal of ancient paintings is generally used for examination and use, which requires very rich knowledge and experience. Bai Yunxuan talked eloquently, and looked at Tang An after speaking, looking like you see if I am powerful.

"Admire...... I feel that all the work of fighting liars is a very powerful field. Tang An said.

Bai Yunxuan smiled proudly and flattened her lips, but it was a little different from her usual appearance.

"Not bad, but that's just the basics. Zhang Huarou smiled and waved her hand, "You are not really interested in these, this painting will be incomplete for a while." Sometimes it is possible that even a week, a month, a year and a half, or even never be able to complete the examination. Let's go play, eat in the calligraphy and painting academy at noon, not to mention anything else, the food in the calligraphy and painting academy is famous in Zhonghai. ”

Tang An is still very impressed by the food in the restaurant of Zhonghai Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, especially the potato roast chicken, a simple dish, but Tang An, who has not been here for several years, still remembers the taste, and some of them will never forget.

It seems that what that sentence says If you want to keep a man, you must first retain his appetite, which is still very reasonable. Bai Yunxuan and Tang An walked a few steps, Bai Yunxuan lowered her voice and said meaningfully.

A faint flush appeared on her cheeks, and it was obvious that such words were very bold and direct for Bai Yunxuan.
