Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Birthday Gift of the Cat and Butterfly

According to its expression methods, Chinese painting can be subdivided into ink painting, heavy color, light silk, gongbi, freehand, white drawing, etc.; According to its subject matter, there are figure paintings, landscape paintings, flower and bird paintings...... The format of Chinese painting is relatively diverse, with long scrolls (also known as hand scrolls) and horizontal drapes that are unfolded horizontally, banners and central halls that are unfolded vertically, albums and bucket squares that are the size of a ruler, and folding fans and group fans that are painted on the fan surface......

Therefore, to choose a good painting as a birthday gift for the elderly, you should not only consider the form of the picture...... It is more important to consider the pictorial ...... What the Chinese pay attention to, isn't that poetic feeling?

Qin Kairan and Jin Pengxuan stood in front of a four-foot bucket square painting at the same time, the atmosphere was a little quiet for a while, and no one spoke first......

In the end, it was Jin Pengxuan who broke the calm: "Kai Ran, I still think that this painting is the most suitable for Grandpa Shao, what do you say?" He raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at Qin Kairan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Qin Kairan gritted his teeth and said, "Hehe...... You're really kidding, of course this painting is good! Sending it out is like cutting meat......"

"But Kairan, don't forget, Old Man Shao and my grandfather are the originators of the literary and entertainment industry...... If you take an ordinary painting and try to fool his old man, you won't be able to get into his eyes......"

Today, the sky of City B is rare and clear, with white clouds like flocculents, and in the breeze, there is also a faint fragrance......

The old man of the Shao family sat in the garden of his villa, enjoying the afternoon sun...... He was dressed in a neat tunic suit, and his hair was combed very neatly, without a trace of messiness. Gray hair glittered silver in the sun. In the slightly sunken eye sockets, a pair of wise dark brown eyes quietly tell the vicissitudes of time......

At the moment, he was sitting in a rocking chair and rocking slowly. looked refreshed, and he couldn't see his old man at all, he was already an 84-year-old man.

Shao's villa is located in Fengtai District, Yanxi, which not only has convenient transportation conditions and supporting facilities in the city, but also has high-quality natural resources......

It is really a good choice to retire in such an environment. But the big premise is that you must also have a son, like Shao Aiguo......

Shao Aiguo is the eldest son of Shao's old man Shao Botao. has been living in the United States,

Engaged in research related to the pharmaceutical industry. He has also made direct investments in many biopharmaceutical companies and has been regarded as one of the most influential figures in the biopharmaceutical field......

Today is the 84th birthday of the old man of the Shao family, and the relatives and friends of the family will come to celebrate his birthday...... Before Qin Kairan went to the Shao family's villa, he specially went back to the 798 Guran Gallery and put the four-foot square cat and butterfly picture in the gift box. Take it to celebrate the birthday of the Shao family's grandfather.

People say, old children...... Old Kids...... That's right! The birthday banquet scheduled for half past five in the afternoon, and it was only 3:50, and the old man was already sitting in the garden, waiting for the visit of relatives and friends......

The old man of the Shao family took the ginseng tea handed over by Grandma Shao and took a sip. Hearing the sound of the car's engine, his eyes couldn't help but look towards the door...... The old man patted the granddaughter standing beside him and asked, "Jiaqi, isn't that car, Jin Pengxuan's stinky boy?" Why does he like to drive this kind of sports car to swagger through the market? ā€

Shao Jiaqi said softly: "Men like sports cars and women like clothes, there is no reason to say." ā€

It wasn't until the man got out of the car and approached that he saw the person clearly...... This person turned out to be Qin Kairan...... The old man Shao Botao was stunned, and he didn't know why.

"Kairan, why are you kid driving Pengxuan's car? I almost recognized the wrong person. ā€

"Old man Shao, hasn't Jin Shao started to play low-key recently! Just transfer this car to me cheaply...... Why Grandpa Shao, aren't you happy to see me? You don't miss me, I miss you! Qin Kairan said exaggeratedly.

"You stinky boy knows the poor mouth all day long......"

Qin Kairan smiled playfully: "Gotta grin!" Grandpa Shao, this is my birthday present to you. I wish Grandpa Shao your blessings as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan.

The old man happily accepted the gift: "Let me see what is good?" You can't wait to bring it to the treasure......"

The old man is really no different from a child when he sees the gift, and he can't wait to open it and want to find out if the gift is to his liking. That expression couldn't have been more exciting......

Shao Botao took it apart and saw that it was a four-foot square cat butterfly picture, with a homonym of cat and butter, and the meaning of longevity. The old man's dark brown eyes instantly lit up, and he seemed to like the painting very much.

The lines of this painting are very concise, you can count them, but it is not simple, especially the cat, only use some intermittent short lines to depict the cat's expression and form in detail, and the eyes staring at the butterfly are so fascinating. The cat's body uses a color base, slightly ****, and the color is elegant and relaxed......

Who doesn't love a congratulatory gift? This is a painting by a famous painter of modern times. Four-foot bucket square more than seven figures......

Shao Jiaqi, seeing her grandfather's surprised expression, couldn't help but smile. What an old playboy who saw his favorite paintings, his eyes lit up.

"Jiaqi, you're dressed so beautifully today." Qin Kairan glanced at her and praised her.

Shao Jiaqi, today is wearing a DG suit with exquisite tailoring and popular style, elegant and intellectual, with the fierceness and arrogance of an upper-class woman, a pair of eyes full of wisdom, and a noble and elegant dress, which makes her look very dignified.

Jiaqi smiled when she heard this: "Kai Ran, when did you become so good at talking?" Don't coax you - those sweet words of girls are used on me, I don't eat this. Hahaha......"

Qin Kairan's face flashed with a hint of a smile. Maybe it's because Jiaqi is too dignified and dignified, and she is fierce and arrogant...... That's why you can't get into Jin Pengxuan's eyes, right?

Several cars slowly drove into the villa and parked one after the other in the designated small parking lot. The sound of fountains on the sides of the discs is continuous, and the artificially created waves are stretching a cheerful rhythm in the sunset...... Several women had leaned out of the car and stepped out one after another.

The people who got out of the car in front of them had already walked in, and among the crowds, a tall back was very eye-catching...... Jin Pengxuan helped his grandfather to walk to the hall on the first floor of the villa......

European-style crystal chandeliers, with Spiga crystal pendants, sparkle from the hollow second floor, showing luxury. The upper and lower floors are connected by a spiral staircase, and the European furniture placed in the lobby on the first floor pursues luxury and elegance in a solemn style, and is closer to practicality when integrated into modern design techniques......

The guests invited by the Shao family walked into the hall on the first floor one after another, and everyone had a smile on their faces......

Jin Pengxuan's grandfather, Fang Haoyu, shook hands with Shao Botao who came forward as soon as he entered the hall...... Decades of old friends, old comrades-in-arms, such a gathering, in the eyes of these old people, seems extraordinarily precious......

Fang Haoyu, with a smile on his face, held Shao Botao's hand: "Brother Botao, I wish you happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity is better than the immortal pine of Nanshan." ā€

"Brother Haoyu accepts your auspicious words, come... Come... Come... Come into the seat...... "The two elderly men walked in with each other and sat on the main seat......

In the evening, at the beginning of the lanterns, several European-style dining tables were placed in the hall of the Shao family's villa, and various wines were placed on the tables, including red wine, Moutai, and Wuliangye......

The delicacies on the table are from the most famous chefs in the city. This table banquet also has a name, which is called the Hongfu Supreme Banquet...... Steamed anchovies, Supreme Buddha jumping over the wall, Longjing shrimp, crab roe tofu, fried sea cucumber with green onions, Wenchang chicken, crab roe lion head, dry braised shark fin, Tai Chi prawns...... Eight major Chinese cuisines are included!

It seems that the Shao family has really put a lot of effort into celebrating the old man Shao Botao's birthday.
