Chapter 369: The Magnificent Painting (Fourth Update)
"Shui Lao, then let's go first." Liu Tao smiled a little embarrassedly at Shui Lao, and then followed Shui Linglong to chat with Lin Yan and the others.
As time went by, more and more guests came.
When the guests came, Lin Zihan began to preside over the birthday ceremony.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my father's 70th birthday." Lin Zihan said the opening remarks.
Suddenly, everyone stood up and applauded.
"I would like to ask my father to say a few words." Lin Zihan said a few more words, and then asked Lin Lao to stand up and speak.
"Friends and family, thank you for coming here for my birthday. If there is anything that is not well greeted, I hope you can bear with me. Lin Lao said with a smile.
"Dad, I wish you a happy birthday! This is my gift for you. At this time, Lin Zihan sent the gift prepared by his family to Lin Lao.
Lin Lao saw that it was a stone inkstone from the Ming Dynasty, and he was very happy in his heart, and nodded at the gift.
Then, Lin Zihao and others also successively sent birthday gifts to Lin Lao.
In the face of these gifts, although Lin Lao was very happy, he was not particularly happy. After all, the children are sending some antique calligraphy and paintings and the like, and there is nothing particularly outstanding.
At this time, Liu Tao took out his gift.
The guests who attended the birthday banquet were basically people with status, and they also had some research on calligraphy and painting. When they saw the painting that Liu Tao took out, they couldn't help but talk about it.
"Why does this painting look so awkward."
"Yes! And it's really not very good! How could such a painting be used as a birthday gift? ”
"Be quiet. This young man is Lin Laogang's apprentice. ”
"Isn't it? How did Lin Lao accept such an apprentice? If you don't do it, your reputation will be ruined. ”
When Lin Lao saw this painting, his brows also furrowed slightly.
"Master, I specially bought this painting for you, I hope you like it." Liu Tao carefully unfolded the painting and said respectfully.
"As long as it's a gift from you, I like it." Lin Lao smiled and said.
"Master, don't you want to know why I gave you this painting?" Liu Tao's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.
Lin Lao didn't speak, just shook his head, as if waiting for Liu Tao to say it himself.
"Xiaofeng, the water I asked you to prepare! Serve it! Liu Tao shouted not far away.
At this time, Lin Feng came to them with a basin of water.
Everyone looked at each other. I was playing a question mark in my heart, and I didn't know what tricks this Liu Tao was doing.
Then, to their surprise, something happened!
Liu Tao put the painting in his hand directly into the water!
"Ah Tao, what are you doing here!" Lin Lao was taken aback by Liu Tao's move! The famous paintings he has seen are like the carp crossing the river. But I've never seen a painting in the water!
What's more, everyone should know that the refraction of water is far away, and if a pair of chopsticks are placed in the water, there will be a big deviation!
However, when the painting goes into the water. Lin Lao's eyes widened suddenly!
I just watched the very awkward beauty portrait come to life! It's breathtaking.
"Tao, what's going on with this painting?" There was a hint of tremor in Lin Lao's tone.
"I don't know. Today, when I went to Rong Bao Zhai to buy something, I happened to see this painting, and by chance I found that this painting is not afraid of water, and in the water can really appreciate the subtlety of this painting! Liu Tao smiled and said.
"Wonderful! It's wonderful! I can't imagine that there will be such a treasure painting in the world! Lin Lao couldn't help but applaud.
"Master, what do you think this is?" Liu Tao pointed to a line of words under the calligraphy and painting and shouted.
"What? This painting turned out to be Tang Bohu's real work? The surprised expression on Lin Lao's face became even more exaggerated.
"I don't know, I guess. Many people have heard of Tang Bohu's four beautiful pictures, but unfortunately what they see are basically fakes. I really can't imagine that the real four beautiful pictures will be like this. Liu Tao said with emotion.
"Let's take a look." Lin Lao shouted at the surrounding guests who were speculating.
All of a sudden. Ye Lao, Xu Lao, Shui Lao and others all came forward to watch!
When they saw the four beautiful pictures in the water, they were all stunned on the spot!
It's so beautiful!
"Old Lin, this painting is a good thing! Are you interested in sexing? "Some people even started to play the idea of this treasure painting on the spot.
"I'm sorry, this painting was given to me by my apprentice, and I won't sell it." Lin Lao smiled and politely declined the other party's request.
"Old Lin, you have accepted a good apprentice this time!" Xu Lao stepped forward and looked at the treasure painting for a while, and couldn't help but say.
"Where, where." Lin Lao smiled happily while saying kind words. Fools can see that his heart is really very happy, not only because the gift given by Liu Tao is priceless, but more importantly, Liu Tao has a long face for him!
Who is Liu Tao! He Lin Guorong's apprentice! You must know that Liu Tao is still just starting to get involved in antiques. In three or five years, maybe Liu Tao will be able to become a generation of appraisal masters!
At that time, how face-saving he will be as a master!
Those guys who used to watch his jokes will probably never laugh anymore!
If there is an apprentice like this, what more can the teacher ask for!
Wait until everyone has seen the same. Liu Tao fished the painting out of the water and set it aside. Soon, the water on the painting has disappeared without a trace, and it has been restored to its original appearance.
Then, he carefully put the painting away and placed it in front of Lin Lao.
"Everyone is welcome, eat with your belly open." Lin Lao shouted at the people around him.
At this time, Liu Tao had already come to his own seat.
They were all young people at this table. Like Lin Feng and Lin Yan, they are all at this table, and of course, there is also Shui Linglong.
"Brother Tao, where did you find this treasure?" As soon as he sat down, Shui Linglong hurriedly asked.
"I bought this painting in Rong Bao Zhai." Liu Tao smiled and answered truthfully.
"Huh? No way? How much did you spend? Estimated to be tens of millions, right? You're a big deal. Shui Linglong couldn't help but guess.
"How can such rare calligraphy and paintings be bought for 10 million? Besides, Rong Bao Zhai, what kind of place is that? A thing that was originally worth one million entered the door of Rong Bao Zhai, at least it had to be added to three percent! What's more, this calligraphy and painting is indeed rare in the world, I really don't know what medicine Rong Bao Zhai is in charge of, and he actually sold this painting. Before Liu Tao could speak, a girl at the same table had already answered first. (To be continued.) )
