After Zhao Changshu stepped back, it was Lin Hao's turn to offer his gift, and after saluting and congratulating him, Lin Hao handed the scroll in his hand to Old Man Wu nervously.

To Lin Hao's relief, Old Man Wu happily took the scroll, opened it with a smile, and kept beckoning his son: "Ying Xiong, you know how to paint, how about you come and take a look at this painting?" ”

After Wu Yingxiong saw the scroll unfolded in the old man's hand, he couldn't help but be shocked at first. He is a great connoisseur of painting and calligraphy, and has collected several works by Chen Xiaodao. When he took a look, he knew that this was Chen Xiaodao's authentic work, and its artistic value was very high!

Wu Yingxiong is strange, where did Lin Hao get the authentic painting of Chen Xiaodao. You must know that although Chen Xiaodao is a contemporary person, his works are rare in the world.

Wu Yingxiong couldn't help but take a deep look at Lin Hao, and thought about it in his heart. Chen Xiaodao's painting is definitely worth a lot of money, at least hundreds of thousands! Although Lin Hao's gift was not for himself, it was for his father after all. He's already suspected of bribery! What was his motivation? Should I let my dad take the painting?

You must know that only Zhao Changshu and Lin Hao are outsiders and officials here. The others are all members of the Wu family's own family, and they don't mix in officialdom, so it doesn't matter what they give to the old man. But Zhao Changshu and Lin Hao are different, they are very sensitive about what they send. If you don't make a good birthday celebration, it will become bribery.

Zhao Changlan's gift is easy to say, but it is just a jar of wine and two chickens. That jar of wine didn't even look at the packaging, it was brewed by itself, and Zhao Changshu shouldn't have spent any money. Besides, with Wu Yingxiong's understanding of Zhao Changlan, Zhao Changshu is not the kind of person who likes to bribe.

But Lin Hao's painting has some problems, it is worth hundreds of thousands! This isn't something you can just take.

Lin Hao was sitting there waiting for Old Man Wu's evaluation, when he suddenly found that Wu Yingxiong's stern gaze swept towards him, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and inadvertently took his eyes away from Wu Yingxiong's body.

Old Man Wu is a man who has lived for more than eighty years, in his words, the mountains of rice he has eaten are not called skills, and the dead people he has seen can go around the earth! As soon as he looked at his son's eyes, he knew what he was thinking.

So the old man immediately coughed twice and said, "Ahem, well, Lin Hao, this painting is your own work?" ”

Although the old man has seen that the payment of the work is Chen Debt, he doesn't know anything about art and has never been interested, so he really hasn't heard of the name Chen Debt, who knows if he is Lin Hao's flower name? Since ancient times, people who engage in art have liked to come up with strange names.

"Oh, no." Lin Hao hurriedly said.

"Oh, that's what you paid for? It must have cost a lot of money, right? I can't take that. The old man said.

Lin Hao couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he had worked hard to get Zhao Changshu to get this painting for himself, if Old Man Wu didn't accept it, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?

It must be admitted that when Lin Hao chose the gift, he thought more about whether Wu Yingxiong would like it, rather than whether Old Man Wu would like it, and now he seems to be suffering for this idea.

Lin Hao hurriedly stood up and said, "Old man, Vice Governor Wu, I didn't buy this painting, it was Brother Zhao who helped me ask for it from Chen's debt, and it didn't cost money." Vice Governor Wu can't trust me, can't he still trust County Magistrate Zhao? Besides, Chen has a strange temper of debt, and people in the cultural world know that he never sells his works. ”

"Old man, you can accept it with confidence. I can testify that this painting Ringo really didn't cost a penny. It cost me a dozen chicken feet, seven or eight salted duck eggs, and a mention of Tsingtao beer. I've been thinking about finding a chance to knock Brother Lin for the past two days! Hahaha??????" Zhao Changshu said with a smile on the side. Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh when they heard Zhao Changshu's explanation.

Wu Feiling pursed his lips and smiled, and at the same time looked at Zhao Changshu deeply again. She suddenly felt that her father's previous evaluation of Zhao Changshu seemed to be quite pertinent. Whether it is a civil and military all-rounder, Wu Feiling still does not know, but she faintly feels that Zhao Changshu is a bit of a ghost.

This can be seen just by looking at the three gifts that Zhao Changshu gave today. In fact, the wine of his brother Wu Feiyu and Lin Hao's paintings have to be regarded as Zhao Changlan's, because they are all things that they got from Zhao Changshu. It's rare that these three things seem to be very pleasing in the eyes of the old man.

Especially the two little chicks sent by Zhao Changlan, you can see the peculiarity of Zhao Changlan. If it is the first time for ordinary people to pay a birthday to the old man of the vice governor, I am afraid that he will not dare to get two little chicks as gifts. But Zhao Changshu dared! And the old man just likes it very much!

"This man seems to be really interesting. His world is so unpredictable! Wu Feiling couldn't help but think.

Zhao Changshu seemed to feel Wu Feiling's gaze, and couldn't help but glance at Wu Feiling with a smile. Wu Feiling felt Zhao Changshu's friendly gaze, and his face unconsciously showed a trace of blush, and then twisted his head to the side.

Wu Fei was inspired by the fact that his heart was in turmoil. She has always boasted that she is a goddess-like existence, and has never blushed in front of men, including in her boyfriend Swiss franc? In front of Bonama. But today, even she doesn't know what happened to her. There seemed to be a kind of magic in the big boy named Zhao Changshu in front of her, which grabbed her heart tightly and made her want to stop.

Wu Feiling didn't know that the seemingly casual eye exchange between her and Zhao Changshu just now was both in the eyes of his boyfriend Swiss franc.

Swiss Lang stared at Zhao Changshu for enough minutes, and the hatred for Zhao Changshu in his heart became even stronger. This guy has always regarded Wu Feiling as his goddess, and now that Zhao Changshu is actually frowning at his goddess, how can he not hate Zhao Changlan.

But now after all, it is Old Man Wu's birthday banquet, and he doesn't dare to be presumptuous, so he can only bury his hatred for Zhao Changshu in his heart and wait for the opportunity to break out.

At this time, everyone else's attention was on Old Man Wu and the painting, but no one noticed the small movements between Zhao Changlan, Wu Feiling and Swiss Lang.

After listening to Zhao Changlan's words, Old Man Wu said with confidence: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll laugh at this painting, haha, Ying Xiong, you haven't told me how this painting is!" ”

Wu Yingxiong had vaguely heard about the grievances between Zhao Changshu and Chen Xiaodao. It can be said that the original Chen Xiaodao has become the current Chen Debt Repayment Debt, and the main reason is because of Zhao Changlan!

With the relationship between Zhao Changshu and Chen Xiaodao, it should not be difficult for him to get Chen Xiaodao's authentic handwriting. So after listening to Zhao Changlan's words, he also dispelled the doubts in his heart, and no longer planned to let his father refuse to accept the painting.

"Dad, what do you think?" Wu Yingxiong knows his father's temper, and when it comes to art appreciation, his opinions are always at odds with his own. If he says that the painting method is good, he must say that the artistic conception is good. If he says that the artistic conception is good, he must say that the painting method is good. Therefore, Wu Yingxiong simply asked the old man to express his opinion first.

"Hehe, I see that this painting is good, it seems to be painted specifically for me, you see that the river in front represents the blessing of the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and the mountains behind represent the longevity of the South Mountain! Haha, and this sunset, this means that the sunset is infinitely good! The person above is me! However, there are so many children in the water painted in the back, which is really a fly in the ointment. Hahaha??????"

Zhao Changshu, Wu Yingxiong and the others listened to Old Man Wu's appreciation, and couldn't help but look at each other and be dumbfounded. Master Chen's good meditation picture full of Zen was interpreted by the old man in this way! It's also so weird.

"Ying Xiong, what do you think of what Daddy said?" The old man held the painting, and after some comments, he did not forget to proudly ask his son's opinion. My son is a master of calligraphy and painting appreciation, so of course he needs to talk about it.

"Good, good! Dad's ability to appreciate paintings has improved greatly! I'm out of reach. Hahaha. Wu Yingxiong said to his father with a smile.

Today is the old man's birthday, and everything is mainly to make the old man happy. Besides, art is inherently benevolent, and the wise see wise, as long as they can have their own perceptions.

Wu Yingxiong originally thought that this time he was completely in accordance with the old man's intentions, and the old man would definitely not raise the bar with him this time, right? Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the old man glaring at him and said, ", I really think Lao Tzu doesn't understand painting at all." Even if Lao Tzu doesn't know how to draw, Lao Tzu is also literate, and it clearly says "Meditation Diagram"! People's hearts are quiet, and people are like mountains! Good, good, good drawing, better words, and the meaning is superhuman. ”

At the end, the old man casually recited a limerick poem, "One day I will step on the clouds and laugh at the people in my dreams in the world." This painting is good for the elderly, and even better for the officials! No matter what kind of profession a person is engaged in, no matter what height he reaches, as long as his mind can calm down, he will never lose his true heart, and he will never go with the flow and work all his life. Hahaha, it's a good painting, it's a good painting! ”

Zhao Changshu, Lin Hao, Wu Yingxiong and others looked at each other again, dumbfounded, and even Wu Yingxiong couldn't see through what level his father was. The heart said, "Oh? When did the old man's art appreciation ability reach such a height? Hey, it's even a chapter! ”

Lin Hao saw that the old man not only accepted his gift, but also seemed to like it very much, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He knew that maybe coming to celebrate the birthday of the old man of the Wu family today would not help his career, but if he really had something to ask Wu Yingxiong for one day, as long as it was not a violation of discipline or something too excessive, Wu Yingxiong should open up his net.

Lin Hao's heart was relieved, but Mr. Swiss Lang's heart was even more unhappy. I was thinking hard about how to make Zhao Changshu make some trouble and make him a little ugly.

What this guy didn't expect was that after the banquet began, Zhao Changshu didn't make a fool of himself, but he made a big fool first!
