Dreams of Jianghu and Junyan

Chapter 136 Visiting the Art Exhibition
The exhibition starts at [-]:[-] pm.

The location is Zangxin Art Garden near the Academy of Fine Arts. This is a private gallery invested by the owner of the art dealer Jiang himself.

Xinyue really did what she said before, she dressed up beautifully so as not to embarrass him.

She is wearing a pink one-piece dress today. The skirt is designed with tulle, which has a hint of fairy air. The whole body has a waist effect, which highlights her graceful figure. With light makeup and delicate face, Like a fairy descending to earth.

Chenfeng told Xinyue that the paintings here are Boss Jiang's private collection, some works by well-known literati and painters, and some little-known students' works.

Boss Jiang does as he pleases, and collects works purely based on his own eyesight and experience.

When Chenfeng and Xinyue drove to the gallery, there was already a lot of people at the door, which was more lively than expected.

Most of them were students from the painting academy, and friends of Boss Jiang, and many local media also came.

Wei Yan was already waiting at the door, and he introduced to Chen Feng: "This time, Boss Jiang wants to use the exhibition to build a good relationship with Jiantong, so that he can advertise the auction of the art exhibition in the future. Boss Jiang has a wide network of contacts, so make more friends like this." Good for the company."

Chen Feng didn't care too much about these things, he seemed to simply come to visit with Xinyue.

In the gallery, there are sub-exhibitions, figures, landscapes, realism, abstraction, calligraphy, Suzhou embroidery, woodcut paintings, lacquer paintings, etc. Chenfeng walked around with Xinyue.

Chenfeng only knows a little bit about paintings, and Xinyue seems to be only interested in plant paintings.The guide accompanied him all the way and kept introducing.

Wei Yan led them along the corridor to the lounge. There was a smell of tea mixed with paint in the air. A middle-aged man was wearing a black Chinese shirt, with a jade wrench on his left thumb. He looked quite elegant. .

When the middle-aged man saw Chen Feng, he got up and greeted him, and introduced himself enthusiastically: "My surname is Jiang, and I am the owner of this Cangxin Painting Garden. Welcome Mr. Ji, come, please sit down .”

Chen Feng took a step forward, shook hands with the other party, and said politely with a smile on his face: "Boss Jiang, I have been admiring you for a long time."

I heard from Wei Yan that Boss Jiang was originally a rich second generation who was engaged in music. I don't know why he became obsessed with the art of calligraphy and painting. Anyway, he is the owner of a prominent family.

Sitting next to Boss Jiang was a blonde foreign beauty with fair skin and a tall figure, just like a model on the cover of a foreign magazine.

When Boss Jiang saw Xinyue beside Chenfeng, his eyes lit up, and he thought it was Chenfeng's secretary: "Mr. Ji, the secretary next to you is really a stunning beauty!"

Wei Yan introduced to Boss Jiang: "This is Mrs. Ji's wife."

After hearing this, Boss Jiang praised Chenfeng for his good eyesight, and his words were full of compliments: "Mr. Ji, I can be regarded as having a unique eye in the painting and calligraphy circles. I seldom go wrong. I look at beauties with an artistic eye. I think Mrs. Ji is really good. She has an extraordinary temperament, just like a classical beauty walking out of everyone's paintings."

"I heard that there will be an auction soon?" Chen Feng avoided this topic, he knew how beautiful Xinyue was, and he knew it best in his heart, he didn't want others to judge her.

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji can choose some favorites to take back later. This auction is actually a charity sale, and the proceeds from the auction are used to support young painters from poor families. I discover many new painters with potential every year , but painting is labor-intensive and costly, and many people give up halfway, which is a pity."

Then they said a few words sporadically around today's art exhibition, and most of the rest were about cooperation and life.

Boss Jiang was afraid of being bored, so he said to the blonde beauty beside him, "Amy, show Mrs. Ji around, we will meet at the auction venue later."

"Okay, Mr. Jiang." Amy spoke pure Mandarin without the slightest foreign accent.

Amy brought Xinyue to the third exhibition hall. In Xinyue's opinion, the paintings in this hall have more "soul" than the previous ones.

Amy introduced: "The paintings in this museum are all collected from the graduation exhibition of the students of the Academy of Fine Arts. Although some of the painters are not qualified enough, and some of them are not smooth enough overall, Mr. Jiang has the heart to cultivate newcomers, and he has a discerning eye. Every painting is unique in its own way.”

The third painting on the right hand side of the door quickly fascinated Xinyue, and she stopped in front of this landscape painting.

The painting is dominated by a blue-purple of different shades, as light as sea blue and as deep as ink blobs.A white iris appeared abruptly amidst the blue-purple, as if hesitating, restless, melancholy, with no way out.

"What do you think of this painting?" Amy asked.

"I feel her loneliness, solitude and death." Xinyue replied lightly.

Amy seemed surprised that she would say that. She introduced to Xinyue from the perspective of the painter's painting skills and composition: "The name of this painting is "Looking Back at the Purple Kite", with rich colors, delicate and changeable lines, and the whole picture is full of rhythm. And the beauty of harmony, the struggling flowers, the thick leaves, the richness of blue-purple blooming proudly."

What Xinyue said was the feeling this painting gave her: "It seems a little sad, a little lonely and restless, and even has a posture that is almost struggling."

Amy smiled: "It seems that Mrs. Ji is knowledgeable. This painting will also be auctioned in a while. If Mrs. Ji likes it, you can consider buying it."

Do you want to buy it?Xinyue gazed deeply, and memories rushed in like a tsunami.She remembered the scene when she stabbed Ye Luo that night in the garden, and she didn't apologize to him because of all the misunderstandings about him.Thinking that the person she stabbed might be her own brother, she felt uncomfortable for a while.

Amy took an auction brochure and handed it to Xinyue.Xinyue flipped through the works of famous artists and newcomers, and Xinyue stopped and stopped in the exhibition hall again. The only one that really attracted her was this pair.

There is a square in the center of the gallery. At this time, the voice of the host sounded: "Gentlemen and ladies, good afternoon! Welcome to the auction event held in Zangxin Garden today. The event will start in 5 minutes, and now we invite guests Let’s take the time to be seated in an orderly manner, thank you!”

Xinyue moved to the square, and Boss Jiang gave a speech on the stage.Chen Feng was already sitting on the sofa under the stage waiting for her.

"Is there any painting that the lady likes?" Chen Feng asked her softly, putting his head close to her.

Xinyue pointed to the pair of purple irises in the auction manual: "Only this pair, if it's too expensive, don't want it."

Chen Feng took the album and looked at it carefully: "Someone actually drew your dream, it's not easy."

Xinyue asked: "Is there anyone your husband likes?"

Chen Feng searched through all the manuals, and said, "I want to hang a pair in the office, but I haven't seen one I particularly like."

He casually flipped through the manual again, raised his eyes and said to Xinyue, "You said, if I ask an artist to draw a portrait of you and hang it in my office, is that okay?"

Xinyue smiled and gently pushed him: "Not serious."
