Qiao Mushan opened the wooden box and took out a framed painting from inside.

The painting is indeed as she said, there are two birds, but it is two mandarin ducks.

This painting is not an ordinary black and white ink painting, its colors are more complex.

Ink painting is a Chinese painting art form, that is, "Chinese painting" in the narrow sense, which is painted by the concentration of water and ink, and is one of the traditional Chinese paintings. Originally, ink painting only had water and ink, black and white, but advanced ink painting also has colorful flower and bird paintings, the latter is sometimes called color ink painting.

It is characterized by a large amount of blank space, and the painting process is called "writing" rather than "painting".

And Qiao Mushan's painting is a color ink painting.

She chuckled: "Grandma Li, in ancient times, mandarin ducks were compared to husband and wife, which first came from the Tang Dynasty poet Lu Zhaolin's "Chang'an Ancient Meaning".

There is a sentence in the poem, "If you have to become a star, why die, I am willing to be a mandarin duck and not envy the immortal", which praises the beautiful love, so that some later literati competed to follow suit.

And I gave you this painting to praise you and Grandpa Li for being as beautiful as mandarin ducks in this life. ”

Qiao Mushan brushed her hair, as if inadvertently mentioning: "This painting is made by Townsend Desmond, the only close disciple of Taylor, the grandmaster of European oil painting, and it is also the only painting in Townsend's life with the theme of Chinese culture."

When the words fell, all the dignitaries and dignitaries present gasped.

Some of those who studied European art began to whisper.

"This Miss Joe is really a big deal, Taylor is a big man in the European art world, and most of his paintings are treasured in museums. There are no more than three paintings that flow out, but they are all classics, the world rarely sees them, his paintings are indeed difficult to buy, but it is slightly easier to buy a painting of his closed disciple Townsendson, but his paintings are very expensive, and this picture of a mandarin duck playing in the water is at least a few million. ”

"Is it worth it to give someone a birthday present and spend millions?"

"And I heard that Mrs. Li's favorite artist is Taylor, and if she can't buy Taylor, she will be very happy if she buys Townsender."

"So Miss Qiao spent millions to please the old lady?"

"This is a point, and of course it is to compare Mrs. Li."

Ren Qianying smiled happily: "Grandma, you see how hearty Sister Shanshan is, this gift not only has a good meaning, but also votes for your favor."

Old lady Li smiled, undeniable.

Li Beize glanced at the people who had just whispered, his face was as cold as frost, and those people immediately fell silent.

These people didn't deliberately hide their voices, so Su Qing heard it clearly.

She looked at Qiao Mushan's smiling face without waves, and only slowly hooked the corners of her mouth.

Of course, Mrs. Li liked Taylor very much, and she also loved his closed disciple Townsendson, and she accepted the painting with a smile, obviously very happy.

Everyone whispered, thinking that Qiao Mushan had won the game, after all, she won from the price, and she won from the degree of affection of Mrs. Li, and from the content, it seems that Miss Qiao wins, Miss Qiao is a picture of a mandarin duck, the mandarin duck symbolizes a beautiful love, which is well known, but Mrs. Li's one is said to be an osprey, but to the layman, it seems to be two black birds, and it is not a famous masterpiece......

Su Qing opened her mouth and was about to say something.

A gray-haired elder in the crowd stepped forward.

Pointing to Su Qing's osprey diagram in Lin Bo's hand, he said in a trembling voice: "This, this is, this is Taylor's painting!"

This is the last painting of his old age! ”
