Chapter 9 Appreciation of Paintings
After the host's speech, the dinner began soon.
A dish that Li Qing and Pan Dahai had never seen was placed on the stage. One or two of them were the rumored ferocious beast meat. The meat of this ferocious beast is different from ordinary beasts and is very expensive. They usually have no chance to eat it.
Pan Dahai looked excited, naturally, there was no need to mention it. Even Li Qing, who had always been very self-control, couldn't help but have a sharp change of his index finger. You should know that he had never even eaten A dish in the canteen of Cangyun Martial Arts. The dishes here are much better than A dish.
Seeing that everyone had already raised their chopsticks, the two of them were no longer polite. At first, they were a bit unconscious of their image and chopped them up.
"The gap between ordinary people and these big families is too big. The ferocious beast meat that we rarely get once in a while may be just home-cooked dishes for others! How can we compare our children with others?" Li Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart while eating.
Ferocious beasts are a beast that is much more powerful than ordinary beasts. Because they are born with ferociousness and their flesh and blood have certain special effects. Relatively speaking, they naturally seem much more precious and expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford it.
"It's delicious, it's so delicious! Especially the meat of this ferocious beast. I vaguely felt that my strength had increased a little. Ah Qing, it's really thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know if I would have had the chance to eat such things in my life." At this moment, Pan Dahai said to Li Qing while eating at the sea.
"What nonsense is it? This is what Miss Wanran personally invites you. What does it have to do with me?" Li Qing then came to his senses and said angrily.
"I don't know when I can let my father and mother eat this kind of thing? If the father ate this ferocious beast meat, he would have a lot of strength to do the work." He was thinking more in his mind.
"Hehe, Miss Wanran invited me for your sake. By the way, you should perform well at the art exhibition later, and think it is to help me thank Miss Wanran." Pan Dahai smiled, and he was also clear in his heart. Now that Li Qing's paintings were sold for 500 taels of silver, he was more confident in his best friend.
"What can I do with myself teaching myself and painting? Just join in the fun." Li Qing shrugged and said. If Xie Wanran proposed it, he would draw one. If not, he would just appreciate someone else's paintings.
However, he is quite interested in this. After all, seeing some other people's paintings will also improve himself.
The dinner lasted for more than an hour and it gradually ended. In addition to some people who knew that there would be an art exhibition, many guests also began to disperse.
During the dinner, some guests at the same table with Li Qing and Pan Dahai were also curious about their identities, but both of them only said that they were Xie Wanran's classmates. Because they were on the edge of the table, the seats were not very important, and everyone was in peace.
"You are Li Qing, right? You are in Hanzhuang." Surprisingly, when most of the guests left, Hanzhuang, which Pan Dahai had introduced before, quietly came to Li Qing's table and sat next to the latter.
"Hello...what is there?" Li Qing couldn't help but be stunned.
As a member of the four major families of Cangyun City, this Hanzhuang ranks third in the top ten geniuses of Cangyun Martial Arts Academy. He knew that it must have something extraordinary. But it can be said that they have never had any intersection between them. How could the other party take the initiative to find an inconspicuous little person like him?
"I heard that you seem to have some conflicts with Zhao Hao. You almost started fighting in front of the Xie family just now." Han Zhuang smiled slightly and said directly.
"So what?" Li Qing frowned slightly.
"It's not so much. I just want to tell you that I don't like this guy for a long time. If it weren't for his cousin Zhao Huang protecting him, I would have beaten him to death in the morning." Han Zhuang looked gentle and handsome, but unexpectedly, he said it was quite rough.
Li Qing was also quite surprised by Han Zhuang's frankness, but he still said without changing his face: "As you see, I am just the sixth level of body refining, and even Zhao Hao is not an opponent, let alone Zhao Huang. I'm afraid I can't help you at all."
"Hehe, for some reason, I seem to think you are a little bit unsimplistic. This is my intuition." Han Zhuangruo looked at Li Qing meaningfully and said with a smile.
"Haha, Hanzhuang, your intuition is right. My brother is indeed not simple! Let me tell you, we will..." Pan Dahai, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but brag about his best friend.
"Dahai." Li Qing poked Pan Dahai with his arm and signaled that the latter should not say much. After all, he and Han Zhuang had just met, so he didn't want to expose too much.
"Tell me, tell me quickly." Han Zhuang looked interested and urged Pan Dahai with great enthusiasm. He seemed to be completely inferior to the legendary genius master.
"Sorry, my brother is relatively low-key." Pan Dahai glanced at Li Qing, then spread his hands helplessly and said.
"Li Qing, it's wrong for you to do this. I'm very sincere in making friends with you." Han Zhuang said with some displeasure. He felt that speaking with his own strength was already a low attitude.
"It's all Dahai who is praising me. I'm really just an ordinary person. I'm far inferior to Hanzhuang. But if you really want to make friends with me sincerely, I think you probably won't mind, right?" Li Qing said without hesitation.
"Ha, you guy is really interesting. I'll make this friend." Han Zhuang laughed silently, then put one hand on the latter's shoulder and said.
The guests at the banquet have already left.
"I'm very happy to be here to attend Wanran's birthday dinner. Tonight's banquet ends here. Thank you for your arrival." At this time, Xie Wanran's voice suddenly rang: "Friends who are interested in coming to participate in Wanran's art exhibition, please come with me."
"Okay, we have to attend Miss Wanran's art exhibition. Let's leave Hanzhuang." Hearing this voice, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. To be honest, he felt that Hanzhuang was a little difficult for him to see through and was quite difficult to deal with.
"Haha, although I don't know much about painting, I want to go and see it. Let's go together." However, Han Zhuang said with a smile again. He also greeted Pan Dahai with a familiar look: "Dahai, let's go."
"Then let's go together." Li Qing's face froze, but he had to say helplessly. After all, Han Zhuang took the initiative to make friends. He had no malice, but had a common enemy, so he couldn't stop people from thousands of miles away.
The art exhibition was held in a hall. When Li Qing and others arrived, some paintings were already hung.
"Most of these paintings are painted by Wanran, and some of them are collected by Wanran. Please give me advice." Xie Wanran smiled cleverly and introduced generously.
"Miss Wanran is really a genius in painting. The paintings he has made are vivid and vivid, and lifelike."
"Yes, I didn't expect that Miss Wanran not only has extremely high talent in martial arts, but also has such attainments in the Painting Painting. I really admire her."
"If you want me to see, Miss Wanran, your painting is not much different from that of some Taoist priests."
"The most important thing is that Miss Wanran is so beautiful and versatile."
As soon as Xie Wanran finished speaking, there were bursts of praise sounds. Some even flattered Xie Wanran as having nothing in the sky and nothing on the earth, and the words of praise were extremely praise.
At this time, Li Qing also began to browse the paintings in front of him. He had indeed studied the paintings for a while. He could see that Xie Wanran's paintings were indeed good, but they were just good, far less powerful than those people brag about.
In particular, he saw one of them was a painting written by a Taoist priest.
The paintings made by the Taoist priest were hung in the VIP area even in the gallery. He had never seen them before. This was the first time he saw them. As soon as he saw them, he suddenly felt that Xie Wanran's paintings were pale, and even he would be ashamed of himself.
"The paintings made by this Taoist priest do contain a special kind of Taoist rhyme. This one should be made by an ordinary Taoist priest. The Taoist rhyme is not high, but it is no longer an ordinary one. How can it be compared with Xie Wanran's paintings?" Li Qing looked at the paintings of the Taoist priest and thought to himself.
This is a seemingly ordinary landscape picture, but when he saw it, he actually felt that the trees on the mountain were blowing, and the streams at the mountain were flowing, which could even affect the whole person's spirit. At first glance, he felt energetic and very magical.
This is the existence function of Taoist rhyme, which can make a painting truly vivid and have special effects.
"This is just an ordinary Taoist priest's painting, which has such an effect. If it were a painting drawn by some powerful Taoist priests, would it still be transformed?" Li Qing couldn't help but be shocked and secretly recalled it.
This is also determined by his current vision. Although he heard that Taoist priests also have grades, the specific grades are not very clear. He only knows that all Taoist priests are circulated to be magical and have a much higher status than those of warriors.
"Li Qing, you seem to know how to draw." At this time, Han Zhuang saw that Li Qing was so sensible that he walked over and said.
"It's just that I have a hobby of painting, and I don't dare to understand it." Li Qing said modestly, but after reading the Taoist priest's paintings, he did feel his insignificance and shallowness. His previous pride in selling 500 taels of paintings also diminished a little, and he seemed to feel something on the painting path.
"I hope I have the chance to see your paintings." Han Zhuang seemed more interested in Li Qing. Although the other party showed not high strength, he could always keenly feel that the latter had a mysterious temperament.
"Li Qing, I wonder what you evaluate Wanran's paintings?" At this moment, Xie Wanran, the owner of today's art exhibition, suddenly walked towards Li Qing with a smile.
Then, a series of curious or puzzled eyes fell on the young man who was dressed in a simple and unpretentious manner.
