Chapter 569: Mr. Lu's alternative revenge
Lin Zhiyuan was very serious and devoted in painting, and just as he said, he painted very quickly and finished the painting in no time.
Although it didn't take much time, the painting turned out very well. When Gu Qingshi saw the painting, she was surprised and very happy. She fell in love with this painting of her and Xiaoxiao at first sight.
Because this painting is very cozy and warm, and it captures details. Xiaoxiao's chubby little fists clenched into fists after falling asleep are so cute, and her face shows maternal love, which is so beautiful. With the willow leaves and the sunset, the whole painting looks good no matter how you look at it.
The painting and the photo are really different, the feeling is completely different. Gu Qingshi felt that this was not a painting that should appear in a park stall.
It was this painting that made an ordinary person like Gu Qingshi notice the difference in the paintings. If he had not seen Lin Zhiyuan, he would think that Gu Yong's paintings were also quite good. But compared with Lin Zhiyuan's paintings, Gu Yong's paintings were much worse. It was no exaggeration to say that there was a world of difference.
Gu Qingshi finally understood why she didn't like the portrait Gu Yong painted of her before. The person painted by Lin Zhiyuan was very warm, unlike the one painted by Gu Yong, which looked sunny and beautiful at first glance, but after looking at it for a long time, she felt that there was something indescribable weird about it.
She had taken most of Gu Yong's paintings home, especially those drawn by her and Xiaoxiao. After returning home, Gu Qingshi didn't put them away at first, but after looking at them for two days, he put them away.
She hadn't found the reason why she didn't like the painting before, but after seeing Lin Zhiyuan's today, she knew the reason. Gu Yong's paintings are like him, full of contradictions. At first glance, they are very warm, but if you look closely, you will feel a sense of darkness and weirdness.
Dark and sunny, a bit like Lin Zhiyuan, but with a turn in the middle, I don’t know who it resembles.
Gu Qingshi thought a lot while looking at the painting. Lin Zhiyuan liked the painting very much and was waiting for it with great interest, but when he saw that Gu Qingshi didn't say anything, he misunderstood.
"You don't like it? Is there something wrong with my drawing?"
Gu Qingshi came back to his senses, "No, no, it was painted very well, it was just too well painted, so I was stunned."
"It's fine if you like it. I was just afraid that you didn't like it. I always wanted to apologize before, but I didn't know how to express it. Now, it's fine if you like it."
Lin Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his watch. "Ah, it's so late. I have to go home for dinner."
After he finished speaking, he packed up and was about to leave. Gu Qingshi hurriedly followed him and said, "Thank you for your painting. How much is it? I..."
"No, no, I said I would give it to you. I can't speak, and I'm not good at anything except drawing. It would be great if you like it."
Lin Zhiyuan was afraid that Gu Qingshi would give him money, so he picked up his drawing board and ran away. After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "If you want to paint again in the future, you can come to the park to find me. I can paint for you for free as long as I have a stall."
Gu Qingshi looked at Lin Zhiyuan's back, then looked at the painting, and finally couldn't help but smile.
Let’s not talk about Gu Yong for now, but looking at Lin Zhiyuan now, from his eyes and his paintings, he seems to be a good person.
After Lin Zhiyuan left, Grandpa Gu finally finished showing off his granddaughter. Before dark, he returned to the old house with Gu Qingshi, feeling satisfied and smiling.
After returning to the old house, the aunt had already prepared dinner. After dinner, Xiaoxiao woke up. Gu Qingshi took Xiaoxiao to the room where Lu Yuan used to live in the old house.
This room is still well preserved. There is a photo of the old man and Lu Yuan on the table. Lu Yuan was still very young at that time, with a childish face. It can be seen that he doesn't like taking pictures very much, but because he was taking a photo with the old man, he still smiled.
"Xiaoxiao, this is dad and grandpa, this is dad's old room."
Xiaoxiao was very curious about the new environment. She looked around with great interest and talked to Gu Qingshi in her mumbling voice.
That night, Gu Qingshi and Xiaoxiao stayed at the old house. The next day, the painting that Lin Zhiyuan helped to draw was framed and delivered to them. The old man took a look at it and exclaimed.
"This painting looks a bit like the Forest Master's painting. Especially the scenery in the back. Qing Shi, is this the painting you mentioned in the park last night?"
The old man often visited art exhibitions and was familiar with the paintings of some famous domestic masters. He could see the artistic conception of the paintings in this portrait of Gu Qingshi.
Gu Qingshi: “Yes.” She guessed that Fang Wen was right. Since Old Master Gu said so, Lin Zhiyuan might be the forest master.
After Gu Qingshi told Fang Wen about his previous suspicions, Old Man Gu asked: "He, a master, is going to set up a stall in the park? People outside are scrambling to get his paintings, and the prices are getting higher and higher, but he is just going to sell his paintings in the park?"
After studying it carefully again, Mr. Gu nodded, "That's the one he painted. If it's signed, it'll be worth a lot of money. He used to paint landscapes, and this is the first time he's painted people."
Gu Qingshi: ".I see that he often sets up stalls to help people, so maybe he paints more people than landscapes."
Mr. Gu: "Okay."
After three seconds, Mr. Gu asked, "Will he set up a stall today?"
"I don't know. What's wrong?"
Mr. Gu said decisively, "Then I'll go and have a look. If there is a stall, I will ask him to paint for me. Although he won't sign his name and no one will know it's his painting, I can't just leave it alone. I'll paint one every day and paint a hundred or eighty paintings for him."
Even if it's not signed or stamped, it's worth it to display it because it's so well-made. It's nice to look at it more.
Gu Qingshi: "One hundred or eighty?"
"Yes, let him help me draw more. I appreciate his value." Old Master Gu said, ready to move. "Let's go, Qingshi, let's go find him. If he's here, let him help you and Xiaoxiao draw a few more paintings."
Mr. Gu acted as soon as he said it, and took his old driver partner with him. However, there was no one there since it was too early, so Gu Qingshi took Xiaoxiao back first.
But in the afternoon, Lin Zhiyuan really went to set up the stall again, and Mr. Gu went there immediately. Not only did he go there, he also wanted to draw ten pictures. However, Lin Zhiyuan refused, saying that he usually only drew one.
Grandpa Gu could only ask him to help draw a picture, and then the driver also asked for help. While he was helping the driver draw, Grandpa Gu brought his old friends along. There were dozens of them, and those who didn't know would have thought they were looking for trouble.
However, they were portrait painters. After seeing Lin Zhiyuan's works, although they didn't know that Lin Zhiyuan was the master of forests, they nodded one by one and said that the paintings were good, and then lined up together.
This was the first time that Lin Zhiyuan had such good business. Looking at the elderly people who took the initiative to line up and play Go, he said: "."
He should be happy that business is good, but he paints not just to make money, but also for practice and because he enjoys it. It would be tiring if he paints all the time.
But in the end, Lin Zhiyuan did not say no, and he just kept painting until dark. There were still many people left to paint, so they agreed to continue tomorrow.
