It was sunny outside, and when we came, it was hot after a while in the scorching sun. You Lv's villa is in B City near the suburbs, there are not many people, but the environment is very good, the outside is full of green grass and trees, according to Meng Ting, You Brigade built the villa in such a place, on the one hand, because of the quiet, on the other hand, it is to fancy the beautiful environment here.

You Travel has its own private car, and the car is parked outside the villa, because of this, You Travel does not have the problem of inconvenient transportation. It was hot outside, but the house was very shady and well ventilated, and we sat on the sofa for a while, and the sweat on our bodies was dried by the wind.

Xu Yi and I walked to the painting hanging on the wall, and at the wedding scene, we just looked at Meng Ting's figure painting from a distance, which was the first time we had observed it so closely. You Lu's painting is very good, looking at an oil painting so closely, Meng Ting on the oil painting has no sense of distortion at all, but looks more realistic.

After staring at the painting for a long time, we even feel that Meng Ting is standing in front of us. Xu Yi and I both think that this painting looks a little strange, especially the delicate red on Meng Ting's mouth, combined with the naturally raised corners of Meng Ting's mouth on both sides, which inexplicably makes people feel a little weird. Xu Yizai looked at it carefully for a long time, but still couldn't tell what was wrong with this painting.

Meng Ting on the painting is dressed in white, with black hair, fair skin, but there is a yellow in the skin of a normal person, and the black pupils are outlined with a white brush to outline brilliance and vitality, and it is staring at me and Xu Yi. The figure painting is a bust, and the background of the painting is a door, which looks like an old mansion, and Meng Ting stands in front of the door, her hands drooping naturally.

After a while, Meng Ting called us, she had already made tea, and her mother and Jiang Jun were sitting on the sofa eating pastries. Meng Ting saw that we were observing this painting, and said with a smile that she liked this painting very much, before getting married, she only knew that You Lu was a famous painter, but she had never seen his works, so on the day of the wedding, she was also intimidated.

After living in You Lu's home, she found that You Lu was really a genius in painting. You Lu is good at oil painting, but he can also sketch and ink painting, and there is almost no kind of painting that You Lu can't paint. Meng Ting opened her mouth and closed her mouth to say that it was all You Lu, as if even she had forgotten what happened at the wedding that day.

After drinking tea, Meng Ting chatted with us, saying that Uncle Meng was too unkind to me, and she apologized to me. I didn't take it to heart, although Uncle Meng was not very polite to me, but I knew that Uncle Meng loved his daughter too much. Meng Ting didn't mention Du Lei, and we didn't dare to mention it.

I don't know how long we chatted, Meng Ting said that she wanted to take us to visit her new house, Jiang Jun was the first time to see such a big house, so he was naturally very interested. The villa is really big, with two floors, in addition to the living room, the main room and a few rooms, there are several rooms, Meng Ting took us in one by one to visit.

The smell of books in the room is very strong, and the vacant rooms are all studyes, and the study is full of all kinds of books, I asked Meng Ting if I could read the content of the book, and Meng Ting nodded. I flipped through the pages at random, and almost all of the books in the study room were books on painting, some of them were studies of Chinese painting, and some of them were about Western paintings.

Every room is full of all kinds of paintings, some painting landscapes, some painting people, Meng Ting said that these paintings were painted by You Lu himself. The paintings hanging on the wall are all satisfactory to You Lu, there are about dozens of them, Meng Ting also took us to another study, the cabinet in the study is full of rolled up painting scrolls.

Meng Ting said that You Lu had to paint at least one painting every day, and after so many years of accumulation, there were almost no more paintings. After observing this room for a while, it seemed that the room was specially used to store You Lu's paintings, and the room was filled with the smell of paint and ink.

After staying for a while, Meng Ting took us into her and You Lu's new house. The decoration of the new house is dark red, whether it is the bedding in the room, the various decorations, and even the walls are painted red. As soon as I entered the house, the curtains were not opened, and under the dim yellow light, the red color made people feel drowsy.

Meng Ting walked to the window and opened the red blackout curtain, the sunlight shone into the room, and the dark red all over the house turned bright red, because the light was dim, so everyone had the illusion that the bright red was dark red. Meng Ting said that this was also You Lu's idea, because it was a newlywed, You Lu wanted to look a little more joyful, so he asked people to paint the wedding room red in advance.

Meng Ting said that You Lu is very interested in color, during the day, such red can make people feel open-minded, and at night, with the help of dim light, the bright red will be dimmed, and it is easy for people to fall asleep in such an environment. Meng Ting said this, and everyone carefully observed the room again, indeed, compared to just now, the room seemed to be much wider.

Meng Ting said that she would take us to the last small study, which was where You Lu painted, and at this moment, You Lu was still painting there. Meng Ting asked us to be quiet, saying that You Lu is very attentive to painting and doesn't like to be disturbed. Meng Ting took us outside a small study, the door was not closed, we looked through the door, it was very dark inside, and the lights were not turned on, and the curtains were not opened.

The sun was abundant, and the curtains did not have the effect of blackouting, so it still spilled in a little through the curtains, but this was not enough to illuminate the whole huge study. You Lu was standing at a long table, with a paintbrush in his hand, concentrating on painting. He was dressed in a straight suit, and when he painted, his temperament was completely different from what we saw at the wedding that day.

He was like a different person, so focused that he didn't even notice that we were standing outside.

Meng Ting whispered that You Lu had been painting for more than five hours, and he had expected to finish the painting in two hours, and then pick us up into the house with her, so he also changed into formal clothes at home, so as to be polite to us. But when she came to the study to look for him, You Lu was still frowning at the table and pondering, as if she had encountered some problem, and she didn't dare to disturb him.

I nodded, and just wanted to say that it was better not to disturb You Lu, You Lu put down the paintbrush in his hand, You Lu stretched his waist, and looked up to find us. He frowned slightly, looked at his watch with his hand, then patted the back of his head and walked briskly towards us. You Luyi grabbed my hand, and said that he was really embarrassed, he forgot the time when he painted.

You Lu shook hands with us one by one, and was very polite to his mother.

Meng Ting asked You Lu what he was painting, he had been painting for so long, You Lu smiled and said let's go in and have a look. You Lu took us into the room, and after we walked in, we found that it was even darker than what we were observing outside, and Jiang Jun muttered quietly, wondering how You Lu drew in such a dark environment.

You Lu also heard it, he smiled very casually, saying that this was his personal habit, and he felt that it was more inspired under the condition that the light conditions were a little darker. But when we got to the table, we could barely see what he was drawing, and when You Lu opened the curtains and the sunlight shone into the room, we finally saw what was on the painting.

Instead of painting landscapes or people, he painted a lot of small square color blocks. Starting with white, small square blocks of color are connected to each other, each of which is a little darker than the previous one, and there are transitions between each color, which do not appear abrupt, and the last line of the scroll is gray, and finally ends with an all-black color block.

Dense small color blocks covered the entire picture scroll, and we were dazzled by it, and we really couldn't understand what You Lu was painting. But I still admire You Lu, in such dark conditions, he can draw so many small blocks of natural transition, it is conceivable that whether it is the color, or the overall layout of the painting or every detail and corner of the painting, it is in his head.

We couldn't understand what You Lu was drawing, but we could see that You Lu seemed to be particularly satisfied with the painting, and he stared at the scroll on the table and nodded. He explained to us that he has been studying abstract painting recently, and many times, abstract painting may only be known by the painter himself, and the style of painting is not regular, and he gave us the example of Van Gogh's starry sky and sunflowers.

I was suddenly interested in what this painting represented in You Lu's eyes......
