Chapter 44
With the three of them staring at each other, Yuan Jingshan was the first to open his mouth and asked lovingly: "Dabao told me that you are young, so I don't know your exact age?"

Qi Tian replied softly: "I will be 19 years old in November this year."

Yuan Jingshan was very surprised, he turned his head to look at his wife, only to see that she was there, she was an insider, and then blinked at his daughter, Jin Yuming just smiled at him.Yuan Jingshan felt ashamed to look at Qi Tian, ​​and whispered, "I'm old enough to be your grandfather."

Immediately, Jin Yuer was a little unhappy.

Qi Tian hurriedly accepted his words, and replied: "How could it be, you look like you are just in your early forties, Yu Ming looks eighty percent like you, with a young face, standing next to me When people saw it, they all thought I was older than her.”

Yuan Jingshan patted Qi Tian on the shoulder, and smiled happily: "As expected of Dabao's chosen boyfriend, he has the same sweet mouth as Dabao, and he is a good boy who can make people happy."

Qi Tian said solemnly: "How can I coax you, what I said is true, uncle looks so good, if he walks with me, he might be my brother."

Qi Tian can talk, and Yuan Jingshan is in a good mood, laughing, Jin Yuer is also happy, no longer staring at the two of them, and concentrates on drinking tea.

Jin Yuming didn't say a word, and sipped tea with Jin Youer, glancing at the two of them from time to time.

Yuan Jingshan asked again: "According to the age, Tian Tian is now a freshman, which school did he take the exam?"

Qi Tian responded with every sentence: "I'm a freshman. I was admitted to Longchang University. I majored in fashion and fashion design in the Department of Art."

Yuan Jingshan nodded and said with satisfaction: "A child who studies art is not bad. It is design, so he must be able to paint. I wonder if you have studied Chinese painting?"

Qi Tian nodded, and replied unhurriedly: "When I first started to learn painting, I studied traditional Chinese painting, ink wash, heavy color, light crimson, fine brushwork, freehand brushwork and line drawing, and I dabbled in every expression style. "

Yuan Jingshan seemed to have found a bosom friend, and asked the bottom line: "Then what kind of subject matter are you best at?"

Qi Tian thought for a while and replied: "The figure is the best, the landscape is next, and the flower and bird painting is the least."

Yuan Jingshan stood up and said a little excitedly: "I received a piece of precious inkstone in the early years, but I have never used it. Today, when you and I meet each other, it can be said that I hate being late. Why don't you use it at this time, and you and I will learn from each other. Fan?"

Qi Tian also stood up quickly and looked at Jin Yuming, a little undecided.

Both Yuan Jingshan and Qi Tian stood up. Compared with each other, Yuan Jingshan was a head shorter than Qi Tian. Qi Tian realized that he had inherited his father's genes. No wonder Qi Tian saw Jin Yuming at first. , I feel that her height and appearance don't quite resemble a northern girl.

Jin Yuming looked at Qi Tian's flattered and at a loss look on his face, and said with a smile: "See what I do, if you want, just agree."

Jin Yuer hadn't seen Yuan Jingshan so lively and excited for many years, and now he was smiling.

Qi Tian said humbly: "It is my honor to compete with my uncle, I just hope that my clumsy skills will not be laughed at."

Yuan Jingshan patted Qi Tian on the shoulder again, and encouraged him: "It's your talent to draw better than me. It's nothing to laugh at if you don't draw as well as me. You are still young, and you have decades to come than me."

Qi Tian responded again and again: "What uncle said is true, then I will boldly agree."

There was light in Yuan Jingshan's eyes, and he dragged Qi Tian all the way up to the third floor.

The rooms on this floor are full of books, paintings, calligraphy, musical instruments, costumes and antiques.

The big room in the middle is where Yuan Jingshan practiced calligraphy and painting on weekdays.The completed calligraphy and paintings alone take up half the room.

Yuan Jingshan took out an agarwood box from a row of shelves in the next room.

Hold it on the desk and open it in front of everyone.

A palm-sized inkstone with water ripples caught everyone's eyes, and there was a picture of bamboo and stone engraved on the end of the inkstone.The weight is heavy, and the texture is dense and firm.

In Qi Tian's mind, Cai Xiang, a poet of the Song Dynasty, commented on the Baoyan: "The jade is pure and refined, and its sharpness is completely silent; Xiangru still insists on hearing the truth, and is willing to ask the Qin people for fifteen cities."

Then he said: "A literati has an inkstone, just like a beauty has a mirror, and he is the closest to each other in his life."

Yuan Jingshan smiled, and said peacefully, "I would like to imitate Dongpo, who loves inkstone into a habit, and sleeps on the inkstone, saying, 'I was born without a field, and I broke the inkstone.'"

Jin Yuming and Jin Yuer couldn't get a word in the topic of these two people.

Qi Tian touched the precious inkstone and asked, "Which inkstone is this?"

Yuan Jingshan replied with a little show off: "This is a She inkstone produced in ancient Shezhou. When I got it, his original owner commented on it. Grinding jade, the benefit of developing ink is incomparable to other stone inkstones. If you use it for a long time, and the ink paste is all over your face, you only need to rinse it with cold water, and it will be clean and shiny again. I bought it for 35 billion .”

At first, Qi Tian was a little surprised when he heard 35 billion, but when he thought about it, it was the currency exchange rate 50 years ago, and when converted to almost 35 now, it became normal.But in that era, if you can directly spend 35 yuan to buy an inkstone, you think it is a very expensive owner. Sure enough, if you meet a rich person, you will get a circle of rich people.

Qi Tian couldn't make a comment, so he could only say conciliatoryly: "Uncle was really discerning in the past, and got this precious inkstone, now I'm afraid it's a lot of trouble."

Yuan Jingshan disagreed and said: "Oh, how can such treasures be measured by price."

Qi Tian listened to the training, nodded his head quickly and said: "Uncle said yes, so, let's start the inkstone and ink, and start to paint, and ask Uncle to set a category."

Yuan Jingshan thought for a while, pointed at Jin Yuer and Jin Yuming and said with a smile: "With these two beauties here, why do you need to paint other people? How about setting the specific form of expression as fine brushwork?"

Qi Tian nodded and said with a smile, "Very good."

Even if you want to paint heavy colors, you need to prepare paints and other materials. Jin Yuer and Jin Yuming are both models and helpers.

After everything was ready, Yuan Jingshan put Jin Youer and Jin Yuming into good postures.

Qi Tian secretly laughed at the side, isn't this just like watching the excitement and seeing himself coming.

In the picture, Jin Yuming is standing on the right side, looking at Jin Youer with a smile in his eyes, and Jin Youer is looking at the direction of Yuan Jingshan with a doting face.

Standing together, the two can clearly see that Jin Yuer is a head taller than Jin Yuming.

Qi Tian looked at Jin Yuer's eyes and expression when he looked at Yuan Jingshan, and sighed in his heart, he could eat a mouthful of dog food just by drawing a picture.

Two and a half hours later, both Jin Yuer and Jin Yuming could not stand still, and Qi Tian and Yuan Jingshan could barely finish the painting.
