The congratulatory gifts sent by various families include gold, jade, porcelain, and embroidery of various colors. They are all just the right gifts that are not extravagant but not insignificant.
The Wang family, which has the strongest aroma of books, gave Mingqian tea as a gift, which was considered a more elegant gift, but Lin Wanwan actually had little interest in tea.
Continuing to look at the gift list, it is recorded that Dugu Di gave a picture of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
Lin Wanwan was very curious about what kind of painting it would be, and immediately called Yun Shang to go to the warehouse to get the painting to view.
The scroll is horizontal, about 40cm high and 80cm wide. As soon as it is unfolded, a prosperous scene of "flower market lights like day" comes to the face.
Gentlemen and women go out at night, singing and singing, and the roads are filled with the fragrance of BMWs and carriages.
Although Lin Wanwan has been in the Tang Dynasty for more than a year, she has never been to Chang'an, a world-famous city in the Tang Dynasty. But for some reason, when she saw this painting, the first thought that came to her mind was that Chang'an is so prosperous.
ah!
Without any reason, Lin Wanwan's sixth sense told her that this painting was the Zhuque Street where everyone carnivaled and there was no curfew during the Lantern Festival!
This painting is a bird's-eye view, from composition to color to light and shadow, everything is amazing.
The whole picture has golden proportions, clear layers, different heights near and far, complementary to each other, and a perfect whole. Touching the objects is emotional, and the preparation is exquisite. The painting of the pavilions, people and horses is as thin as a hair.
Although it is a group portrait, the expressions of every character in the scroll are lifelike.
The whole painting has a sense of sound outside the painting, which makes people travel through time and space in an instant, as if they have come to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the painting, and are immersed in it.
This is undoubtedly a masterpiece!
Lin Wanwan immediately looked for the inscription and seal on the painting. She brought three lamps to illuminate it and looked carefully several times but couldn't find it.
"Oh! What a pity!" Lin Wanwan couldn't help but sigh.
Calligraphers and painters before the Tang Dynasty did not like to have inscriptions and seals, which led to many famous works in later generations being controversial in the academic world because they did not have clear identification.
But no matter whose work it is, this painting is absolutely shocking and a classic that has been handed down from generation to generation.
If it hadn't been dark now, Lin Wanwan would have wanted to run to the county government office to dig out Dugu Di and ask him about the origin of this painting.
If it was a work by a living boss, she would want to go get it stamped by the boss and inscribe the source.
Such a wonderful painting made Lin Wanwan so excited that she couldn't fall asleep and wished it would be dawn in the blink of an eye.
In addition to the portrait given to her by Xiao Chong, Lin Wanwan now also has a cordyceps drawing of King Gu Ye.
The value of her own portrait is hard to say, and of course she can't exchange it for money, but Gu Yewang's cordyceps drawings will definitely be priceless.
After all, Gu Yewang's paintings only exist in historical materials, and there are no physical objects handed down at all.
Qi Baishi's paintings can be sold for hundreds of millions, and Gu Yewang's paintings must be much more. After all, they are national treasures!
And now, Lin Wanwan felt like she had obtained another national treasure-level painting! She really couldn't sleep without asking the source.
In the end, Lin Wanwan took a few deep breaths, carefully put away the painting, then suppressed her excitement, blew out the glass lamp, opened the door to time and space, and returned to modern times.
If she stays in Datang any longer, she will become more and more excited and needs to change her mind.
It was only half past five in the morning in the early morning light here in Modern Times. Because Lin Wanwan had spent a little more time in Datang, Modern Times was one day earlier than Datang.
In other words, in the Tang Dynasty, her birthday was almost over, but in modern times, this is the beginning of her birthday!
"Elf, open the curtains."
Lin Wanwan sat on the edge of the bed and gave an instruction to the smart video speaker placed on the seven-drawer cabinet.
"Okay, Her Majesty the Queen, I will open the curtains for you."
The smart curtain rod linked to the smart speaker moved slowly, and the pale yellow street lights from the community outside shone in.
Lin Wanwan walked to the window, opened it, and took a deep breath of the modern turbid air to wake herself up!
Well, you can’t be so upset by a painting whose origin is unclear, it seems too uneasy!
After all, I am the one who has the decree of the Tang Dynasty, so I have to broaden my horizons!
If I have the opportunity to go to Chang'an in the future, I will see antiques everywhere and every one I will meet is a big boss. How can I be so restless!
After some introspection, Lin Wanwan finally calmed down.
The November morning was more exposed and still a bit cool. Lin Wanwan quickly closed the window again and gave the second command to the smart speaker: "Elf, turn on the wall lamp."
"Okay, Her Majesty the Queen, I will turn on the wall lamp for you." As soon as the mechanical electronic female voice fell, the wall lamp began to dimly light up.
Lin Wanwan leaned against the bedside, grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table and read the messages.
Now that there is a time bug between the two worlds, Lin Wanwan has plenty of time no matter where she is, so she doesn't have to put her phone in airplane mode every time she goes to Datang.
There were several unread WeChat messages on her phone, and those who sent her happy birthday wishes were Lu Shouyue, Gu Jingyu and... Xiao Junning.
Strange, Xiao Junning actually knows his birthday?!
Lin Wanwan was shocked. This aloof celebrity who had barely contacted her since she added WeChat actually knew about her birthday. It was really surprising.
Lin Wanwan thanked them one by one. Unexpectedly, as soon as she sent it, there was a reply from Xiao Junning, but the words were as cold as a human being: "You're welcome."
Lin Wanwan laughed. Before she could decide whether to continue replying, the other person sent another WeChat message: "You still owe me a meal, don't forget it."
"I didn't forget, big star, you can contact me whenever you are free."
The dialog box shows that the other party has been typing, and the result is just one word: "Okay."
Lin Wanwan did not reply again. Since the little tsundere Xiao Yixun lived in her home, she now has quite a lot of experience in dealing with such arrogant and aloof brats - just do what you should do and don't guess what they think.
After reading WeChat, Lin Wanwan opened the browser and looked at today's headlines. There was nothing major.
Then she checked her company's Douyin, Xiaohongshu and Weibo accounts. The traffic was very stable and the comments were very friendly.
In addition to the company account, Lin Wanwan also has a personal account on the Internet, which contains two videos of Heng Wu, but that account has not been updated for several months.
In order to make it easier to check the status of her Amazon store, Lin Wanwan paid to install circumvention software on her mobile phone. It is very simple to check the external network, but she is not in the mood to move Datang videos now.
She would be very satisfied if she could promote the inheritance of embroidery and Hanfu and have a decent career.
At this time, another message came on WeChat. It was a message sent to her by Gu Jingyu who got up early: "Wanwan, it's rare that you got up so early. It's your birthday today, how are you going to celebrate it?"
Lin Wanwan replied: "I didn't plan on it, just treat it as normal."
Gu Jingyu is now pregnant and it is difficult to make an appointment, and Chen Jinyu has basically broken off their relationship. In modern times, Lin Wanwan really can't think of anyone to celebrate her birthday with.
We have already celebrated it happily in Datang, there is no need to celebrate it twice.
