When Xu Hong knew that Xu Beihong in this world was not a great painter, he felt very disappointed, but in the face of life, he could only continue to be a 'happy' postman.

On this day, Xu Hong picked up the goods by the courier company as usual. In the company hall, I heard some colleagues talking about it.

At first, Xu Hong didn't pay much attention to it, wondering if he was discussing work or salary.

But when he listened carefully, it was not what he thought. It's like they're talking about an art exhibition or something.

"I heard that we are going to hold a large-scale art exchange meeting in Tiannan City recently, so we have time to go and have a look and improve our cultural taste. "A tall courier was chatting with a stocky colleague next to him.

"Well, maybe we'll collect a work of art too, and if the author of this work becomes famous, we'll be rich." Humpty Dumpty's colleague chimed in.

"Yes, I heard that there is a painting by a certain master at this exhibition! We will also buy one after work, as long as we leave it for a few years, we will make a fortune!" The tall courier joked with the stocky colleague.

"Damn, what kind of joke are you talking about! The master's works cost hundreds of thousands, can you afford it as a little courier!"

"If you can't afford it, can you enjoy it first!" the tall courier said as he looked at his stocky colleague.

The two of them chatted like this.

Talking unintentionally, listening with heart.

Xu Hong, who was standing aside and waiting to pick up the goods, heard it and became interested.

"Damn, I'm going to take a look, how can I say that my previous life was also a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts!

As a large city in southern China, Tiannan City is also regarded as the cultural and artistic center of the south, and a large-scale cultural and artistic exchange meeting is held here every year.

At this exchange meeting, there is a special exhibition area for paintings, which exhibits the works of contemporary masters. If a customer has a fancy for a famous artist's work, they can also purchase it on the spot.

So, this is a rare opportunity for many painting enthusiasts who want to become a well-known painter.

Xu Hong knew the news, and naturally went to appreciate the paintings of famous artists. So on a Sunday, he happily went to the art exchange meeting.

The Tiannan Art Exchange is located in the largest exhibition hall in the city center. The exhibition hall has a total of six floors, and each exhibition hall covers an area of more than 1,000 square meters.

Among them, the paintings are the most numerous works of art in each exhibition, and they are located in the hall on the first floor of the exhibition hall.

Among these paintings, Master Yao's works occupy an important position, which is an important work in the entire painting exhibition hall, and is also a famous work that many big collectors are vying to buy.

This Master Yao's name is Yao Hong, and he is the most famous painter in Tiannan City. And he also specializes in painting horses, because this year coincides with the Year of the Horse, Master Yao has painted many works related to horses, and many collectors are also here for these 'horse works' of Master Yao. Because it is the Year of the Horse, I want to have a horse to success.

Xu Hong also came to Master Yao's booth with many visitors, and he saw a tall middle-aged man with a big back hair, with small eyes, slightly dark skin, a thin face, a mustache, wearing a sauce-colored Tang costume, holding a folding fan in his hand, and sitting casually in front of his booth drinking tea!

There are also many people who look like bosses in suits and leather shoes, and they will say a few words of greetings when they see Master Yao, and some are concentrating on admiring Master Yao's works.

Xu Hong also came to Master Yao's booth, he looked at Master Yao's paintings, and felt not very good, although Xu Hong is not a master painter, but he is professionally trained after all, he can see at a glance that this Master Yao's works lack skills, and all the works seem very superficial and have no deep meaning.

These works are painted using the traditional Chinese freehand painting method, but when painting, there is no freehand master's free and easy, it is clearly a freehand painting, how to look like there are traces of fine brushwork.

In terms of ink, he is not skilled enough, and the joints of many ink colors are not handled very well, and the superposition traces of the two ink colors can still be seen when you look closely.

Although the horses in these paintings are also colorful and have different forms, they lack a spirit and temperament, and the horses in each painting seem a little naïve and exaggerated, without deep meaning and atmosphere.

In this way, the horses in these works appear stiff and soulless, and the horses in each painting, although they resemble real horses in appearance, do not have a vivid and realistic feeling no matter how you look at them.

Xu Hong also saw that in one painting, the horse's legs were not the same length, and one of the front legs was longer than the other three.

Although this is only a small flaw, not a professional, and it can't be seen at all, Xu Hong can still see it at a glance.

"Damn! Such a work can be regarded as a master-level work! Compared with the works of Master Xu Beihong that he knew before his death, it is simply a world of difference!" Xu Hong looked at this so-called Master Yao's work, and he was very unconvinced.

What makes Xu Hong even more angry is that there are already several big collectors who look like bosses for such works, and they have begun to buy Master Yao's works, and any pair of works will cost more than 100,000 yuan, and the largest of them is called "Eight Horses", which also has eight horses painted in it, which may be Master Yao's 'masterpiece' this time! He actually asked for a price of one million, but just like that, he quickly let a middle-aged man, a very fat big collector with a thick gold chain around his neck, buy it.

Xu Hong saw that a pair of works by Master Yao actually bought one million, and his heart was really unbalanced, thinking, just these shoddy works can be bought for a price of millions, it seems that the level of the great painters on this parallel earth may really not be very good.

Just when Xu Hong was thinking about these things, he saw a strange phenomenon again, on both sides of Master Yao's booth, there were also two booths, but they were both empty, and no one used these two booths at all.

"Hey, what's going on, how many painters want to exhibit their works in such an important exhibition! Painters occupy the booths in other places, but why don't there be painters exhibiting their works in the booths of these two and Master Yao's closest ones!" Xu Hong was a little puzzled by this question.
