Master Tao slowly put his hands behind his back and straightened his back.
But it's funny to say that in the past thirty years, he has worked hard alone and has never mentioned the name of the Tao family. But today, in order to prevent his fame, which he has worked hard for half his life, from being ruined by this painting, he has to resort to this desperate measure.
In the Tao family, he was the one who was abandoned because his talent was not as good as his sister. His mother chose his sister to be the heir of the Tao family. In the past 30 years, his sister has been living a miserable life in that small town with the Tao family's skills. How can she be worthy of the ancestors of the Tao family?
Today he wants his sister to understand that the position of the head of the Tao family is about to be transferred, and the Tao family needs someone like him to carry forward its prosperity!
Master Tao turned and looked at Yi An'an coldly: "My sister only has you as her closed disciple. You won't dare to do it and tarnish my sister's reputation? You didn't come here just to take a look and see the world, right?"
Yi Anan frowned. When she heard everyone talking about the Tao family, she suddenly felt pressured.
Originally, she was confident that she could clean the stains on this painting. After all, all the paintings she had cleaned before with her teacher were more difficult than this one. However, because of the reputation of the Tao family, Yi Anan felt pressured.
If she fails to do it well, it will bring shame to Beitao!
But now Master Tao's words left her with no way out.
If she refused, Beitao's reputation would be ruined, so it was better to give it a try.
"I'll take it!" Yi Anan nodded firmly.
When Yi Anan said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Everyone at the scene could see that it was Tao Xinran who was putting pressure on Yi Anan, but Yi Anan withstood the pressure and dared to continue with the job.
This spirit alone is admirable. It is good that this newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but it is afraid of...
"Little girl, think carefully. This painting is too valuable. If you don't do it well, you will not only damage the reputation of your master, but I'm afraid your whole life will be ruined!"
"Yes, you are still young, and we can understand if you don't accept it. After all, Beitao has disappeared from the cultural relics circle for thirty or forty years!"
"So is Master Tao now considered the representative of Northern Tao?"
"Of course, besides this Master Tao, do we know any other Master Tao?"
…
Everyone was talking about it.
Tao Xinran listened to what these people said, and the corners of his lips curled up coldly.
His goal has been achieved to some extent!
If Yi Anan refuses, then from now on, the world will know that he, Tao Xinran, is a member of the Tao family!
Yi Anan ignored what others said. She went forward and carefully studied the bottom of the painting. She was sure she could clean it up given the extent of the stain.
"We can start now!" Yi Anan said in a deep voice. His voice was not loud, but it was enough to shut up those bored people.
Master Tao frowned slightly. He couldn't believe it. He raised his eyes and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Sure!" Yi Anan said.
In the past few months, she has learned this skill, and she is sure that if nothing unexpected happens, she can succeed!
Master Tao slowly straightened his back and said in a deep voice: "Well, in that case, everyone has heard it. It was my sister's last disciple who insisted on taking this job. As an elder, I didn't force her. She...you actually..."
Master Tao straightened his back, raised his hand, and looked at everyone's long speeches with great pride, but he didn't expect that Yi Anan ignored him at all, took out a brush from his backpack, poured hot water on it and started cleaning.
Master Tao's words were stuck in his throat. He looked at Yi Anan's skillful technique in great shock. This was the most difficult move to learn among the Tao family's unique skills, "Re-seeing the Light of Day". He never thought that her sister would pass this unique secret skill to a student who had only been learning for a few months!
And looking at Yi Anan's technique, it seems like it has only taken her a few months to become so skilled!
The people watching were shocked by the utensils Yi Anan used. Hot water, yes hot water. That was the silk from the Song Dynasty, the painting that had been left over after hundreds of years of history. And this young man actually used hot water...
All the people covered their mouths. They dared not make a sound, and they even dared not believe what they saw.
At this time, Zhan Nanhui arrived at the venue.
Zhan Nanhui had actually arrived a long time ago, but he had not expected the level of this restoration meeting to be so high. Even though he had tried his best to mobilize all the power in the capital, it took him more than two hours to get the admission ticket. So when he walked in, the whole place was silent, and he did not dare to make any sound. It was natural that he looked up at the stage among the crowd of visitors.
Someone of Professor Tao's status should be on the stage right now!
Then, when Zhan Nanhui saw the slender figure bending over, holding a brush in her hand, cleaning the painting, he was petrified.
Could he have seen it wrongly? His eyesight has always been good, why did he see...
At this moment on the stage, Yi Anan has entered a state of ecstasy. Under her hands, the meticulous brushstrokes of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and the vast rivers and undulating mountains in the painting slowly and clearly emerge, as well as fishing villages, wild markets, waterside pavilions, thatched huts, water mills, long bridges, etc., a wonderful painting of Jiangnan mountains and rivers, vast and boundless!
Those visitors standing far away may not be able to feel the shock of Yi Anan's painting, but Professor Tan, standing opposite Yi Anan, clearly witnessed the process of the painting being restored from being dirty to looking like new.
Professor Tan's face was filled with disbelief.
He is a veteran in the national cultural relics circle, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a master. When he was very young, he heard his father talk about the magical skills of the Beitao family. He always thought that they were myths after the legends of the world. How could there be such skills in the world? But today, he saw with his own eyes that the Beitao magical skills really created a miracle!
Yi An'an was no longer able to feel the presence of people around her, her hands were extremely steady, and she had the painting in her eyes, as if she was back to the time when she was with Old Lady Tao. From washing the painting, consolidating the color, to cleaning the painting core, Yi An'an calmed down and completed the work step by step. She could not hear the sounds around her, nor could she feel the eyes of the people around her, nor could she feel the fatigue of her body and the hunger in her stomach. When she finished cleaning the huge painting, she slowly raised her head and heard the sound of a click in her waist.
The time on the wall pointed to two o'clock in the afternoon. She had spent nearly six hours cleaning this huge painting. Her skills were still too rusty. If a master had done it, it might take three or four hours!
Just when Yi Anan was about to stretch her waist, she suddenly saw Zhan Nanhui's face in the crowd!
