Chapter 106
Jin Chaochao walked forward, looked at everyone, and said calmly: "Bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"
The person in charge finally reacted and quickly ordered people to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
A long table was covered with exquisite scrolls.
All the ink is ready.
Jin Chaochao walked to the table in front of everyone's sight and looked at Lu Shengde, "Old sir, what kind of scenery do you like?"
Lu Shengde was still in shock, and said in a complicated tone: "I like lotus flowers! They grow out of the mud without being stained, and they wash in the clear water without being coquettish."
Jin Chaochao picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and drew on the rice paper with the tip of the brush. With just a few strokes, the charm of the painting began to show.
He moves the brush freely and decisively, and the lotus leaves he draws are lifelike.
In just one hour, a picture of lotus flowers that were crowded, graceful and lifelike was completed.
After Jin Chaochao finished her painting, she looked at Lu Shengde and said, "This is the painting I am working on now. It must be better than the previous two years. Thank you for your appreciation. I am sorry to show off my ugliness."
The exhibition director walked up, took a magnifying glass, and looked closely at the painting.
After reading it, he widened his eyes in astonishment and explained to everyone: "The painting style is indeed the same, and even more skillful than the previous painting techniques. The breath of life seems to flow on this lotus leaf. Why do I feel that this black ink has a faint green halo?"
He moved the magnifying glass downwards and saw a small dot in the lower right corner. After magnification, it turned out to be a Chinese character "Jin".
Lu Shengde walked forward, excitedly took the magnifying glass and looked at it carefully.
After looking at it for a while, he laughed out loud and said, "Someone, hang this painting up for me."
Two staff members hung the painting in the center.
After the painting was hung up, a huge ink scroll came into view.
Everyone has different feelings after seeing it.
Some people saw the lotus flowers dancing like fairies and felt happy while appreciating them.
Some people think that the lotus leaves are crowded together and full of vitality. Just one glance at them can make people feel relaxed and comfortable, as if all the pain in their body has disappeared.
Others feel that the ripples of the clear water in the lotus pond can make one's mind clear and refreshing, and seem to be able to cleanse the distracting thoughts in one's heart.
Lu Shengde was leaning on a cane, staring at the painting in front of him. He felt that although he was in his twilight years, his heart was still full of vitality.
He saw the power of new life.
If we say that other paintings are dead objects.
Jin Chaochao's painting seemed to have been endowed with a vivid life, and contained within it a high level of cultivation and Taoism.
Fu Tingyuan looked at the painting and was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.
Jin Chaochao's painting skills are more solid than those old masters. The artistic conception of his paintings is unmatched, and even his paintings contain magnificent divine and Taoist auras.
This is also the reason why her paintings are appreciated by people.
At this time, Lu Shengde walked up to Jin Chaochao and said, "Miss Jin, I apologize to you for what I said just now."
Jin Chaochao smiled slightly, "Old sir, there is no need to do this. Those two paintings are indeed not worth the sky-high price. My paintings are only given to the right people. Selling them at a sky-high price goes against my original intention."
At this time, the exhibition owner came in a hurry.
As soon as he approached, he heard Jin Chaochao's words.
So, he quickly responded, "Miss Jin, I have always collected your paintings. But I have never thought of selling them. To be honest, I did buy these two paintings from an old man for 3,000 yuan. Since I got these two paintings, my luck has been ridiculous. In just two years, I have grown a small gallery to such a large scale. Not only did I get a lot of antiques, but I was even able to invite so many big names to attend the exhibition."
One can imagine what these two paintings mean to him.
Jin Chaochao nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, "As long as you promise that you will never sell these two paintings for money, these two paintings can guarantee you a safe and smooth life with lots of money."
Everyone present gasped.
Now, everyone's eyes on Jin Chaochao changed from disdain at the beginning to full of awe.
This girl is truly amazing.
A painting was sold at a sky-high price, but she said that her paintings were not worth that much money.
Now when I create new works, I will only give them to those who are destined to receive them.
"Miss Jin!" Wang Tianyi, who was old, walked forward very politely and bowed deeply. "I want to apologize for what happened just now. Can you also give me a painting? I don't want such a big one. A small scroll or a few words will do."
Jin Chaochao looked at Wang Tianyi. He didn't have any great merits, but was an artist with a bit of a halo.
"I'm sorry, but my paintings are only for the destined ones. Mr. Wang, if you really want it, then you need to do a hundred good deeds within six months. If you do, I will give you a calligraphy."
Her words didn't sound like a joke.
Wang Tianyi immediately agreed respectfully.
At this time, others still wanted to speak.
Jin Chaochao raised her hand to stop them, asking everyone to be quiet. "That's enough for today. I think it's getting late, Mr. Fu and I have to go home."
Fu Tingyuan walked forward, took Jin Chaochao's hand, and looked at everyone, "Sorry, let's go first."
If we continue like this, we will never have peace.
Coming out of the exhibition hall.
Fu Tingyuan looked at Jin Chaochao and said, "I didn't even know that you could paint?"
Jin Chaochao smiled slightly, "This is just a taste, not something worth showing off."
Fu Tingyuan: "..."
This sounds too Versailles.
Some people spend their entire lives creating, but never become famous painters, nor can they sell their paintings at sky-high prices.
She said it was just a taste, not a skill worth showing off.
It's simply a dimensionality reduction attack on others.
The most important thing is that she is still so young.
At the exhibition now.
Everyone had the same idea as Fu Tingyuan. Song Banshan felt so embarrassed that he could only leave through the back door of the exhibition in disgrace.
Lu Shengde held the scroll in his hand, smiling from ear to ear with joy.
The other family heads looked at each other, each with their own calculations in mind.
After the banquet, Mrs. Fu's name became completely famous.
Her paintings were praised to new heights and became famous among celebrities around the world.
*
The next day, when Jin Chaochao just opened the shop, she saw six or seven older men in suits waiting at the door.
They were the stewards of each family. They were tactful, respectful and polite to others. After seeing her, they were even more humble and flattering.
Jin Chaochao saw that there were too many people and did not invite all of them to the store.
"Please come in one by one and tell me what's the matter." Jin Chaochao sat down in her main seat.
The first person to enter was the Lu family's butler.
It held an exquisite gift box in its hand. "My old man said that he liked the lotus painting that Mrs. Fu gave him yesterday very much. He couldn't take your things for nothing, so he asked me to deliver a deed to Forest Island today as a thank you."
Jin Chaochao raised her eyebrows. She never asked for anything in return for the gifts she gave out.
What does Mr. Lu mean by this?
Forest Island is a tropical island located on the edge of the South China Sea.
It is not large in area, but it is a very famous scenic spot.
It is one of the properties under the name of Mr. Lu.
The Lu family’s strength should not be underestimated as they were so generous at the first move.
