After eating, Shutao took four bottles of red wine, including Domaine Leroy, Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Chateau Haut Brion and La Romanee-Conti. Lixuan knows a little about red wine, and he knows a little about listening to those bosses on weekdays, but he is dumbfounded when he sees the wine he ordered today. The wine was expensive, but he didn't keep quiet or make any judgments.

They all came to Shutao's new home, and after entering the door, Li Wen took selfies everywhere, and Erman also looked around with interest, but his heart was stunned. I think it would be nice to be able to live in such a house by myself one day.

Shutao asked Lixuan to open the wine, and the big guy was ready not to get drunk and not return. Li Xuan twisted the oak cork and poured the wine into the decanter seriously, and that momentary action made the book fascinated.

His side bones are distinct, the bridge of his nose is exquisite, and he looks so beautiful in the light of Shutao's house. He had a fair complexion that saw no sunlight, like deep eyes that could see through time, like Dracula in Transylvania, as if he had lived forever by sucking the blood of the living.

And the red wine at the moment, just like the blood flowing from the veins of a girl, flashes the luster of desire under the illumination of the light, such a picture is difficult to fathom from far and near.

The man at the moment makes Shu Tao fall in love, because he is always reluctant to mention things related to feelings, just like a vampire is afraid to see the sun, and once he touches it, he will disappear, and in the pain and madness, there is no trace......

"I'm going to do an art exhibition with the theme of 'The Light of Desire'. Shu Tao picked up the wine glass, pointed the wine at the light not far away, and gently swayed to observe the red in the wine glass.

"How did you come up with this proposition?" asked Lixuan.

"Have you read Wilde's poetry?' ’”

Li Wendao: "It's true, if it weren't for the good memories I had with Chen Hao before, this man-made disaster would not be a tragedy now." ”

"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about myself, in the face of emotions, hypocrisy, disguise, timidity, restraint ......" Shu Tao felt uncomfortable and said after taking a sip of wine.

Erman picked up the wine glass and drank a little, and looked at Lixuan: "Actually, this is also you." ”

Li Xuan immediately changed the topic: "Have you found all these artists?"

"No, this time I'm looking for young artists, preferably students who are still in college! They don't want to be famous, they don't want to have a background, but their works must be shocking, and they have a sharp weapon to dig into their hearts. Shutao explained carefully.

"Well, maybe I can help you. Li Xuan said.

"Do you have a talent recommendation for this?"

"Yes, when I was studying design at art school, I knew some teachers, and I could ask them to help you with your work, and then collect work from their students, which would be more in line with your requirements. ”

Shu Tao was overjoyed and said with a smile: "I said that Lixuan is my great fortune star, and I found that since I met you, there is nothing I can't do!"

"Then what are you going to do? What are you going to do this time? Make money, earn fame, or earn connections?" asked Lixuan.

"Nothing, just to let my dad know that I'm still a person with ideas, and this time I deliberately used a little-known young painter, just to replace the old antique paintings in the gallery! You know, in addition to proving yourself, this is also a good move against my dad!"

"But your father would approve of you starting these unknown painters at will, and what did you use to convince him?"

Shu Tao didn't think of this, so he said a little embarrassedly: "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

"Then I'll tell you a story, and I might be able to help you. Do you know that Monet has a painting called "The Ladies in the Garden"?" asked Shutao.

"What's wrong?"

"This painting was completed by him in 1866, and although he painted several women, the model was the same person, his wife Camille. But the painting couldn't be sold, and he was poor at the time, so he wanted to scrape the painting and paint a new one. His good buddy Bazier couldn't stand it anymore, so he bought the painting for 2,500 francs. ”

Lixuan paused, looked around, and looked at the paintings hanging in the room. All are floral still lifes, and some are abstract decorative paintings.

Erman was fascinated and asked, "What about later?"

Lixuan took a sip of red wine and continued: "But at that time Bazier had no money, so he could only pay Monet in monthly installments of 50 francs. ”

Li Wen said in surprise: "Wow, didn't this person make a lot of money later!"

In 1922, Monet completed his famous masterpiece "Water Lilies" and donated it to the state. At that time, he was no longer short of money, and the state felt that he owed Monet a favor, and in order to show it, he bought "The Ladies in the Garden" for 200,000 francs. ”

"Hey, hearing you say that, I feel that this thing is quite ironic!" said Erman on the side, "You see, when Monet was short of money, the state did not help, and when he became famous and did not lack money, the state took care of the icing on the cake instead of giving charcoal in the snow." ”

Li Xuan nodded, and said with a scheming look on his face: "Actually, what I want you to understand is to impress your father with this story: first, let your father know that this art investment is like buying a house, but everything depends on its profit margin and investment potential, so don't spend money casually on investments that have already taken shape and have no room for growth." Second, knock on the side and hit the moral card, let him know the deep meaning between the charcoal in the snow and the icing on the cake, so that he will not be deceived by these old artists who can cut four taels of meat in the legs of the heron!"

Shutao heard Lixuan say this, and suddenly looked at him with admiration, he didn't expect that he could really practice such a powerful head in the shopping mall, who like her can remember the A-Z sorted brand directory on the shopping website like Net-a-Porter, but she is unfamiliar with this person's sophistication.

"Lixuan, I'm a little afraid of you, when you say that, how do I feel like you're a time bomb next to me!" Shu Tao joked.

Li Xuan laughed and said, "Oh, I exposed the fox's tail, and I spit out the truth after drinking, I'm ashamed!"

Erman said: "He is a thousand-year-old demon, we little monsters have to humbly ask for advice!"

"You are the monster, I am a woman from a good family, I don't understand anything!" Li Wen said angrily.

"Hahaha, because I don't understand anything, I have to learn a little, less detours and fewer walls, all roads lead to Rome!"

Several people have never been so happy as they are today, and the four bottles of wine have been drunk to the bottom. They all stayed here in Shutao: Erman had one room, Li Wen had one room, and Lixuan slept in the living room. Shu Tao felt that this was the happiest day since returning from Paris.
