When the theater ended, Zhang Nianyue took Ye Zhiran's hand, came to Yang Xiaoli's side with an arrow step, and shouted: "Xiaoli." ”

Yang Xiaoli was taken aback, and when she turned around and saw that it was Zhang Nianyue and Ye Zhiran, her face turned red. Ye Zhiran noticed that a look of panic flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head, not daring to glance at them.

Zhang Nianyue smiled and said, "Who is this next to you?" Tell us about it. ”

As soon as she asked this, Yang Xiaoli's face turned even redder, and after a pause, she raised her head and said to the boy, "Why don't you leave?" Haven't you seen me meet an acquaintance? ”

The boy looked dazed, turned around and walked away.

Zhang Nianyue had already shifted all her attention to Yang Xiaoli, who was extremely out of shape, and turned back to Ye Zhiran and said, "Wood, it's getting late, go back, be careful on the road." ”

Ye Zhiran knew that she wanted to leave some time to interrogate Yang Xiaoli, so she smiled and said goodbye to the two of them.

The next day, Ye Zhiran got up and had breakfast, according to yesterday's arrangement, he should go to the Provincial Art Museum to exhibit in the morning, and go to meet the tutor in the afternoon.

The Yangtze Provincial Art Museum is located in the northwest of Chengzhong Lake, covering a small area, consisting of two old-fashioned wooden houses, and wing rooms on the east and west sides.

Each of these old-fashioned houses is only eight or nine square meters in size, and the staff of the museum have opened up the rooms one by one, and the front and back two houses are connected together through the wing rooms, forming a circle of fourteen or five huts, like a long corridor, which is very suitable for art exhibitions.

When Ye Zhiran came to the art museum, it had just opened, and he passed one room after another.

Zhu Painter's paintings are known for their landscapes and flowers, and the exhibition room is arranged according to the birth era of the works. Ye Zhiran has seen many of his early works in the first and second rooms, as well as many pencil sketches, but these paintings have a small note "not for sale" pasted on them, which is obviously reminiscent of the growth trajectory of Zhu painter's own paintings.

In the back rooms, I saw several four-foot landscape paintings on a whole paper, marked with the word "sold". When he walked to the last two rooms, he saw a banner on the wall with the words "Huang Yuwen Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition" written on it, and a line of her profile next to it.

This is the first time that Ye Zhiran has systematically visited Huang Yuwen's paintings, and he can't help but look at them one by one with interest. To his surprise, Huang Yuwen's paintings are not known for landscapes, but prefer figures, especially ancient ladies. As Zhu Zhaoxi's proud student, this seems to be a bit "deviant". Ye Zhiran From her paintings, the only thing that can show Zhu Zhaoxi's style is that she likes to combine ladies and landscapes, and the painting method of landscapes is quite the charm of the teacher.

After he finished his paintings, he had a new understanding of Huang Yuwen's calligraphy and painting. Her maids are beautiful and elegant, with both form and spirit, all of them are like Lingbo fairies. The quiet and beautiful Huang Yuwen has such a high attainment in calligraphy and painting, which is really beyond his imagination. So much so that when he walked out of the exhibition room, he was still reminiscing about the subtlety of his paintings. When he raised his head, he saw that Painter Zhu and Huang Yuwen had already arrived at the art museum, and were standing in the "patio" talking. He heard the voice and wanted to go up to say hello, but when the two of them were talking to a middle-aged man, he retracted his feet.

Huang Yuwen's sharp eyes had already reached him, her quiet and beautiful face flushed with a hint of redness, and she shouted happily: "Ye Zhiran! ”

Ye Zhiran had no choice but to smile over, say hello to Painter Zhu and Huang Yuwen respectively, and greet the middle-aged man who was talking to them with a smile.

Huang Yuwen asked, "When did you come to the provincial capital?" ”

Ye Zhiran replied: "I just arrived yesterday, and my graduate class started. I know that Painter Zhu and you are holding an exhibition here, so I came here. ”

Huang Yuwen asked happily: "It's all over?" ”

Ye Zhiran nodded and replied, "It's all right, Yuwen, you are really beyond my expectations." ”

"What, not in your eyes?"

Ye Zhiran shook his head and said: "No, I'm sighing, only a place like Jiangnan can give birth to a talented woman like you, and you are blue." ”

Huang Yuwen received a burst of praise from him, and her heart was happy, and she couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart, which had always been quiet.

A few simple words of conversation between the two caused a huge impact in the hearts of Painter Zhu and the middle-aged man. They had never seen Huang Yuwen take the initiative to talk to a young man, and the conversation was so natural. With their familiarity with Huang Yuwen, this is by no means unusual. Therefore, the middle-aged man paid special attention to Ye Zhiran.

He was paying attention to Ye Zhiran, and Ye Zhiran had actually noticed him a long time ago.

is also a person in the officialdom, and when they meet, they all have an intuition that outsiders can't understand. Ye Zhiran knew that he was also a person in officialdom when he first observed himself. Moreover, the rank is far above him. Because he felt that the other party had a huge official authority oppressing him.

In fact, official prestige is a very strange temperament, which is cultivated by leading cadres in the officialdom over time. No matter how small an official is, he will manage a group of people, so he has a superior mentality, and he often speaks and acts with the habit of instructing others, and over time he has formed a momentum. Of course, when the official is small, because the group being led is small, and at the same time, he needs to flatter his boss, so the momentum is generally weak. When an official reaches a certain level, this momentum will increase accordingly. And once he reaches a high position, he has developed the habit of commanding and commanding his every move, and his momentum is greater and his official authority is more sufficient. This kind of official authority may not be sensitive to ordinary people, but it is extremely sensitive to people in officialdom. Officialdom is a place that pays great attention to rank, and everywhere is ranked according to the rank of the low, and over time, some old oilmen in the officialdom can even accurately analyze his level from the glance of others.

Although Ye Zhiran has not reached this point, the other party's official rank is much higher than him, but he can feel it consciously. But Zhu Painter and Huang Yuwen didn't introduce him, and of course he wouldn't have taken the liberty of asking the two of them about his identity. Therefore, although Ye Zhiran noticed his existence, he still naturally talked to Huang Yuwen.

"Yuwen, your paintings are known for their ladies, and they seem to be different from the style of Painter Zhu."

Huang Yuwen smiled and said: "Many people think so. Actually, for me, what the teacher taught me was the understanding of painting, the habit of using the brush, and the convergence of thinking, not the object in the painting itself. ”

Huang Yuwen is different from Ma Yanli and Zhang Nianyue. Ma Yanli is a very outgoing woman, daring to say and do, and full of courage. Zhang Nianyue is full of modern feminine atmosphere. And Huang Yuwen has the calmness and gentleness of ancient women, and at the same time has a more introverted personality, and does not like to communicate with people, especially with boys, which has some noble meaning.

Huang Yuwen, who was so high-minded, talked to Ye Zhiran so condescendingly, which was obviously the reason why Zhu Painter and the middle-aged man paid special attention.

"Yuwen, I'm leaving, I'm going to visit my mentor in the afternoon, I need to make some preparations in advance."

"It's still early, huh? Don't go in for a while? Huang Yuwen said to stay.

Ye Zhiran quipped: "Aren't you afraid that I'll stay for a long time, and accidentally fall for one of your works, and ask you for a painting?" ”

Huang Yuwen smiled lightly and said, "If you want to win, just take it." ”

Ye Zhiran said with a straight face: "Yuwen, you must not be presumptuous, I am telling the truth." Each of your paintings is a masterpiece, and your achievements will never be low in the future. Although these are your early works, they are also more meaningful to preserve. ”

Huang Yuwen already had a good impression of him, and listening to his heartfelt words deeply touched her heart. She felt that the praise of her work, from him, seemed to be a very wonderful and very comforting reward, which gave her a kind of indescribable thought.

She sensed that there was something soft in her heart, something that had never been before, something beautiful.

At this time, the docile and delicate Huang Yuwen also left a good impression on Ye Zhiran, and he was touched by Huang Yuwen, who was touched by his words just now, and said softly: "Yuwen, I'm really leaving, let's talk next time we meet." ”

Huang Yuwen both wanted him to stay and hoped that he would leave quickly, so as not to peek into his heart. She hesitated, nodded, and said, "I'll send it to you." ”

When the two left, the middle-aged man asked Painter Zhu again and again, who is this boy? What identity? When did you meet Huang Yuwen?

The first two questions are easy to answer, and the latter question is why Zhu Painter can't say why.

When Huang Yuwen came back from bidding farewell to Ye Zhiran, the middle-aged man asked her: "Yuwen, did he ask me about my identity when you sent her out?" ”

Huang Yuwen raised her head strangely and said, "No, why did he ask about your identity?" ”

How can someone who is not in officialdom know this intuition? Of course, he understood that Ye Zhiran could guess that his official rank would not be low, so he sighed and said, "No, I am young, and the city government is very deep." ”

The depth of the city and the calm and reliable are synonymous in officialdom, and they are also compliments. But in Huang Yuwen's ears, she was not happy, and said, "Dad, why do you say this about him?" You don't know him. ”

"Then I'm going to get to know him well from now on." After Huang Yuwen's father finished speaking, he added: "Hmph! So bold, he actually came to approach my daughter, could it be that he was a drunkard? ”

When Huang Yuwen heard this, her face changed greatly. With his father's identity, Ye Zhiran's future can be cut off with one sentence. She said in a loud voice: "Dad, you are completely guilty of wanting to add to it!" How did he ever know who you were? How did you know who you were? You are living in the belly of others with the heart of a villain. ”

Huang Yuwen's father ignored her, but went to Zhu Painter with a suspicious eye. Painter Zhu understood that he was asking if he had revealed it, and hurriedly shook his head. He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at this time, and said to Huang Yuwen with a pleasant face: "You girl, you don't know how important you are, you made a joke of your teacher, how could I ever tell you to interfere in his affairs." ”

Huang Yuwen blushed, lowered her head as if in her shoes, and whispered, "You are not allowed to interfere with anything with him." ”
