The guests were in an uproar.
After just one glance at Qin Ge's painting, Master Qu was so eager to take him on as a disciple?!
That's Master Qu!
A leading figure in the contemporary art world!
So many people would love to be his disciple but can't get one!
What kind of painting could elicit such an attitude from Master Qu? Many guests, who were far away and had not seen the "Eight Immortals Celebrating Longevity" painting, were filled with surprise.
They couldn't help but move closer, their eyes filled with curiosity, to admire the painting.
Unless they are nouveau riche who have only become wealthy in recent years, families with no cultural heritage other than a little money, even if they are just trying to appear cultured and have no real interest in art, cannot be completely ignorant of antiques and calligraphy.
Therefore, when they came up and saw Qin Ge's painting, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"The painting is absolutely exquisite! Both the composition and the brushstrokes are superb. It would probably take more than ten or even decades of study to create a painting like this!"
“But how old is Qin Ge? He’s only 18! Moreover, this young master of the Jiang family was switched at birth and has been raised in the countryside. He shouldn’t have had the opportunity to systematically learn how to paint.”
"So he is...self-taught?"
"No, you can only call him a prodigy!"
"Hiss, with such terrifying talent, it's no wonder that Elder Qu was so delighted to see him and couldn't wait to take him as his disciple."
"By the way, that fake young master has been learning to paint since he was a child. How does he compare to Qin Ge?"
"It is said that he is very talented in art and seems to want to become a disciple of Master Qu. If Jiang Xibai works hard for another ten years or so, he may be able to occupy a place in the future art world, but compared to Qin Ge... he is probably not good enough."
"Because there is no comparison between a genius and a peerless genius."
…
Jiang's younger sister blinked slowly, still not recovered from the shock.
Xi Xi, lacking artistic talent, gave her mother, Madam Jiang, a forgery copied by Qu Henian. Qin Ge, whom she had always looked down upon and considered to have no artistic ability whatsoever, actually painted an exquisite "Eight Immortals Celebrating Longevity" painting, which Qu Songbai immediately took on as his apprentice on the spot...
Is she still half asleep, or has the world gone mad...?
How is that possible?!
Jiang Ziwei couldn't help but look at her nephew Jiang Xibai, whom she had always relied on and favored.
The latter stood there, his face pale and his expression dazed, as if he had suffered a great blow.
Jiang Ziwei looked at Jiang Xibai's expression and her heart skipped a beat: ...Could it be that she really mistook a fish eye for a pearl?
·
It's just a painting; for Qin Ge, a master of quick transmigration who has been a painter in another dimension, it's really not difficult at all.
He just noticed that Jiang Xibai seemed to have been severely hurt.
After all, how many people can withstand this kind of dimensional reduction attack?
Qin Ge thought to himself without a trace of guilt.
They showed absolutely no remorse for bullying children.

At Madam Jiang's seventieth birthday banquet, Qin Ge's painting "Eight Immortals Celebrating Longevity" overshadowed the fact that Jiang Xibai had presented a fake. The guests no longer paid attention to this minor flaw, but instead praised the Jiang family for producing such an outstanding artist, saying that Qin Ge would surely have a bright future and that Madam Jiang had a worthy successor...
Hearing these compliments, Madam Jiang didn't say anything, but a faint smile remained on her elegant, aged face, and a hint of pride couldn't help but shine through the corners of her slightly wrinkled eyes.
She knew Qin Ge wouldn't let her down!
As for Jiang Xibai...
Madam Jiang sighed softly to herself.
This child has a wicked heart; if he doesn't wake up in time, he'll ruin himself sooner or later!
Hopefully, he will come to his senses.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Jiang stopped dwelling on Jiang Xibai's matter, composed herself, and exchanged a few words with someone with a faint smile. Then she heard the butler report, "Old Madam, Patriarch Huo has sent a congratulatory gift—"
After a pause, the Jiang family steward's voice suddenly lowered as he carefully said, "It is Mr. Qu Henian's 'Pine and Crane Longevity Painting'!"
These words were spoken.
Everyone was shocked.
Surprised, the head of the Huo family in Beicheng never attended such banquets, yet today he actually presented a congratulatory gift to Old Madam Jiang. He never expected that Old Madam Jiang had such great influence.
The second surprise is that the controversial "Pine and Crane Longevity Painting" has reappeared at Madam Jiang's birthday banquet. Is it real or fake this time?
Only Qin Ge couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a slight smile.
Yes, the real "Pine and Crane Longevity Painting" is in the Huo family's Jiyuan Garden.
Unexpectedly, the older man gave it to the older woman as a congratulatory gift...
Qin Ge's mood brightened.
He was eager to finish quickly so he could see Huo Beiyuan.
