A fusion of artistic conception?!
Are you sure you're not kidding me?!
Li Donglai looked at Situ Changqing in surprise, only to see that the latter was just looking down at the intelligence report with bright eyes.
This man, recognized as the richest man in both China and Xia, suddenly couldn't sit still.
"Hey, don't grab it! I haven't finished watching yet..."
The document that Situ Changqing was carefully examining had vanished. He subconsciously looked up and saw Li Donglai holding the stack of intelligence reports. In the blink of an eye, he ran to the French windows.
At this moment, Situ Changqing was somewhat at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
Do you really think that anyone who achieves great things is necessarily unconcerned with trivial matters?
Situ Changqing looked puzzled.
At least he didn't see that in Li Donglai.
"Good lad!"
"He's only been in Lizhou for less than two days, and he's already being asked to be a judge for some random competition involving music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Is he just bored?"
"You think you can just let him participate? But he even produced a painting and calligraphy work that perfectly blends artistic conception. Isn't that a waste of his talent?"
Hearing Li Donglai's sour self-talk, Situ Changqing saw through it but didn't point it out, smiling without saying a word.
"You can see the fusion of artistic conception in just one photo?"
Situ Changqing said with a half-smile, "How about we change the itinerary?"
After hearing this, Li Donglai suddenly turned around.
For a fleeting moment, he really wanted to agree.
But in the end, he sighed and waved his hand, "Never mind, it'll be put into storage sooner or later. Let the Xia family be smug for a few days first."
That's what they say, but Li Donglai's performance was somewhat unsatisfactory.
For example, if he suddenly walked towards the study, Situ Changqing could guess what would happen next with his bare hands; it was nothing more than the quirks of a scholar.
He calmly brewed himself a cup of hot tea, not even glancing at the study out of the corner of his eye, let alone looking at it. He had no interest in doing trivial things like grinding ink for others.
Xiazhou.
At this moment, this landscape painting, which had been handled by Lin Rui, was not only framed by the Xia family, but also hung in the arena for the competition of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Although the event will be held in three days, the venue is already in a warm-up mode.
Nowadays, only invited guests and contestants are allowed to enter and exit the venue.
Not only were there well-known artists from Xiazhou, but also some professionals with extensive knowledge of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, who were also whispering and commenting on the competition.
Of course, the exhibited works are almost all treasures from various families, and many are also new works from these families.
"The Xia family sent someone to deliver a landscape painting."
At the sound of a shout from the middle-aged butler of the Xia family, the guests who were nearby immediately gathered around.
Fleeting life?!
Some people's expressions changed, while others looked bewildered.
This painting is neither from the Xia family collection nor by the three elders of the Xia family.
So, who is this Fusheng?
Could it be the singer who performed "Big Fish" on the Spring Festival Gala?
The name "Fusheng" is not a real name, but a stage name, so the possibility of having the same name as someone else is extremely small.
Because they realized this, some people present became unsettled.
Are you kidding me?
A musician who also knows calligraphy and painting?
Especially since it's placed in such a prominent position, this is an exposure point that the Xia family worked so hard to secure. Who is this Fusheng, and what merits does he have?
Aren't the Xia family worried about being unanimously criticized by the Lizhou calligraphy and painting circles because of this foolish behavior?
Many people with ulterior motives smirked. Because they were far away, they couldn't see the specific content of the calligraphy and painting clearly, but just listening to the gossip of the people around them was enough to make them think of something crooked.
He secretly gave a few instructions to his assistants, who immediately began to spread the word, and soon even guests who hadn't noticed this area were quite interested in coming over.
What's with those expressions?
The group of people who were imagining the Xia family about to suffer did not hear the insults and ridicule they wanted to hear after waiting for a long time. Instead, they saw that these people were all staring blankly, and some of them were even getting excited. This group of people felt a little uneasy.
Most importantly, these people are reluctant to leave. There is only one possibility for this: the work is so excellent that it makes the guests linger!
It should be noted that the guests present all possess profound skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; otherwise, they would not have been invited to participate in this themed event.
They could hardly imagine what kind of masterpiece the Xia family had exhibited that could make these professionals stop and linger.
That's outrageous!
With a sullen face, these people with ulterior motives also squeezed into the crowd, and it took them quite a while to finally see the painting clearly.
It would have been better if I hadn't looked at it, because once I did, I was completely horrified!
"Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters come from the sky, rushing to the sea never to return..."
"Have you not seen the bright mirror in the high hall reflecting the sorrow of white hair, black as silk in the morning, turned to snow by evening..."
"Enjoy life to the fullest when you're successful, for tomorrow you may die without a golden goblet to face the moon..."
"Everyone has their own unique talents, and even if I spend all my money, it will come back again..."
The moon is cold and the stars are few!
Mountain streams and rivers!
A lone figure on a cold river!
The gentleman in white!
And in my mind, there is that unfamiliar soft murmur!
A dual realm of calligraphy and painting!
A perfect blend of artistic conception!
How is that possible?!
Could it be that those three old ghosts from the Xia family made their move?
That's not right either!
The three old devils of the Xia family are either good at calligraphy or painting. However, it is impossible for their works to achieve a fusion of artistic conception by piecing them together. The prerequisite for this is that the creators must be the same person, and the calligraphy and painting must be at the same level!
With suspicion in mind, these individuals with ulterior motives immediately examined the signature.
Fleeting life?!
What a fleeting life, all about music!
A master of both calligraphy and painting?!
You're telling me a twenty-year-old kid who's not only musically gifted but also a master of calligraphy and painting? And that he also has extraordinary talent in poetry?
Are you sure you're not kidding me?
Are you walking your dog?!
Despite their strong desire to deny the idea, they knew that it was nothing more than self-deception.
Why would the Xia family exhibit such a painting at this time?
"Immediately check Fusheng's details. I thought he was just a music producer, but I didn't expect him to have such amazing skills in calligraphy and painting!"
"I'll communicate with the Xia family, or contact Fusheng directly and ask him to give me a price. I want this painting."
…
The people at the scene shared similar thoughts: some were concerned about the fleeting nature of life, while others were focused on the landscape painting itself.
Of course, some forces are also analyzing the Xia family's intentions behind this move.
They quickly realized that the Xia family was aiming for the judges' seats!
Good heavens!
To offer a judge's seat, they're even willing to bring out calligraphy and painting works that perfectly blend artistic conception. Isn't that a bit too much of a price to pay?
If I had a painting like that at home, why would I bother participating in a competition? Let whoever wants to win win.
Let alone a premeditated and organized competition, if this painting were to actually end up in their warehouse, even if the outside world were to experience a severe frost in June, it would not stop them from working behind closed doors and indulging in their own self-admiration!
"Based on the latest feedback, this judge's seat is practically secured."
The three old men of the Xia family were chatting animatedly.
"We must not be careless, for fear that there may be treacherous people making underhanded moves behind our backs."
"It's definitely not time to be complacent yet. Send more people into the venue later and have them keep a close eye on things. Report any suspicious activity immediately."
