Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
The interior is indeed very large, with more than 100 square meters. The roof of the shed is a huge golden chandelier, which is turned on and radiates a golden glow. To the north are windows that shade the purple curtains, and on the east and south walls are two huge oil paintings. Under the paintings, rows of leather sofas and coffee tables are placed, on which tea sets and fruits are placed.
There are two dining tables side by side in the middle of the room, one large and one small, the large one can seat 30 people, and the small one can also make about 20 people. The west gable, that is, on either side of the door, are two huge hanging mirrors, which look clear and bright.
"Sit down, eat some fruit, and drink some tea. I'm going to see how the meal is prepared! Aunt Yun turned around and went out, and the two waiters at the door immediately entered the door and poured tea and water for them, with enthusiasm on their faces.
At first, all four of them seemed a little uneasy and restrained. After Aunt Yun went out, everyone began to relax. Mia picked up a banana and started eating, saying to Qin Ge while eating, "Qin Ge, I didn't expect your face to be so big?" If you knew that, you should have brought us with you earlier! ”
"What? Am I big-faced? I ......" Qin Ge didn't know what to say, and looked at Han Qing. I saw Han Qing standing in a daze under the oil painting on the east wall. Looking at Amy again, Amy is standing under the oil painting on the south wall, thinking about something.
"Hey, you two deserve to study art, so what's so nice? What's wrong? Are you looking at world-famous paintings? Mia shouted.
"yes, the tone is so dark, what's there to see?" Qin Ge also asked.
Han Qing and Amy ignored them, just smiled at each other.
"Han Qing, you talk about it first." Amy spoke first.
Han Qing took two steps back and looked at the oil painting again:
It shows a boy in a sheepskin jacket reading a book with his back to the sheep and the sunset. His body and the surrounding scenery seemed to merge into one, and the dim tones gave people a very heavy sense of oppression. The name on the painting is "Shepherd Boy".
"This painting is supposed to be based on the 19th-century French painter Millet's masterpiece "The Shepherdess", except that the shepherdess in it becomes a little boy reading a book! Other than that, everything else is the same. Han Qing turned his head to Amy and said, "The one you see should also be a copy of a fake, right?" ”
"That's right." The oil painting in front of Amy depicts a peasant couple standing in the field praying at the end of the day's work, as the setting sun fills the fields, with pious and simple expressions. The name marked on the painting is "Diligence".
The painting is also modeled after the work of the French painter Millet, and its original title was "Evening Bell". However, even the faces of the characters have become Chinese. The title of the painting was also changed to "Diligence". It seems that this Mr. Yang likes Miller's works very much. It is necessary to change Miller's works into famous paintings with Chinese characteristics. ”
"I don't know how to draw, but I would like to say that from the way I feel when I look at these two paintings, it's a bit depressing. Isn't it a bit out of place to hang in a room like this? Qin Ge walked over and hugged his shoulders and judged.
"Yes, that's true. But every time someone comes to my place for dinner and chats, the judgment of these two paintings is what is 'elegant, chic', and then what is 'full of mystery' and so on. They don't know how to draw, or what I think. Or you little ones dare to tell the truth. ”
A man's loud voice came from the doorway, and the four of them hurriedly looked back. Walking in was a middle-aged man in a jacket and gray pants.
"Oops, Mr. Yang!" Qin Ge hurriedly greeted him.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Mr. Yang shook hands with Qin Ge first, and Qin Ge hurriedly introduced Han Qing, Amy, and Mia to him.
Mr. Yang shook hands with the three of them very warmly and said hello, and his demeanor was calm and sophisticated.
Immediately, Mr. Yang walked to the east oil painting and stopped, facing the oil painting with his hands and shoulders in a thinking shape, and said in a soft voice: "Children, take a closer look, who does the shepherd boy look like on the oil painting?" Then, looking back at them.
The four of them stood behind Mr. Yang and looked at the boy's face on the canvas together.
"Mr. Yang, could it be you?" Han Qing whispered, as if he wasn't quite sure. The boy on the picture is very thin, and Mr. Yang's physique now looks strong. It's just that the shepherd boy's eyes are particularly beautifully painted. When Han Qing saw Mr. Yang for the first time, he felt very much like his eyes. If it is really Mr. Yang, then the author of this painting is not an idle person.
"Haha...... Mr. Yang laughed heartily, "Yes, it's indeed me." You're the first to guess right! This artist is a master I hired, and he just painted it with a black and white two-inch photo when I was a child, right? ”
"Awesome!" Han Qing nodded sincerely. Qin Ge, Amy and Mia looked at the boy on the oil painting, and then looked at Mr. Yang, no matter how they looked at it, they felt very similar, but why didn't they see it just now?
"Let's go, kids, let's go eat." Mr. Yang waved his hand and took the lead in walking towards the small dining table. In the few minutes that the few of them were admiring the paintings, the table was already full of delicacies. There were also two waitress standing at the table, smiling.
"Kids, can you have some drink?" Mr. Yang raised his finger and pointed to the white porcelain bottle of Moutai on the table. The waiter immediately picked it up and quickly opened the cap.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang, I drove, but I don't dare to drink." Qin Ge said.
"Come and sit down, don't be restrained when you come to me, and don't be polite." Mr. Yang waved his hand and motioned for Qin Ge to sit down.
"I don't know how to drink, thank you Mr. Yang." Han Qing politely got up, and then sat down again.
"Gee, you two are still not men? Mr. Yang is so hospitable, come, let's have a drink with Mr. Yang! Mia reached for her glass, and the waiter immediately came over and poured it out. Well, the glasses are full.
Amy whispered, "You tiger girl, it's not a good thing for girls to drink indiscriminately!" Immediately, she glared at Mia, and she didn't have a seizure, so she passed the cup over.
Mia stuck out her tongue and grinned. She knew how much Amy was drinking. I remember that on the Qingming Festival after graduating from high school, the two made an appointment to go to their mother's grave together. Amy not only brought a lot of paper money, but also stole a bottle of Daddy's good wine and a few apples. I wanted to use it, but after the paper money was burned, both of them began to think about their mother, and everyone knows what the mood of the daughter is for her mother. After crying and drinking, they walked back to the village as if they were all right. Later, Mia thought that it must have something to do with genetics. His father and Amy's father are both drunkard-level characters.
"Hehe, it's still a girl! Ay? I said Xiaoya, can you take off the mask? What's going on? Is it not pretty, or are you afraid that there is smog in my hotel? Hehe! Mr. Yang said with a smile.
