Yongcheng University is very close to the community where Lin Wanwan lives. It only takes a few minutes by car. It does take a while to walk from the gate to the library. The university is really big.
Lu Shouyue had been waiting at the door of the library early. Although he was wearing a mask and his clothes were not as bright and bright as usual, and he looked a little bit dusty, he not only did not look embarrassed, but he stood out even more, attracting students who came and went frequently.
Attention.
There were even a few brave girls who were secretly filming him and talking quietly about him.
"Is he from our school? He's so tall, and he looks so handsome even with the mask on! Go and ask for WeChat."
"You go, I don't dare."
"Then, how about we go together."
The girls, who had been hesitating for a long time, finally cheered each other up and wanted to strike up a conversation, but they saw Lu Shouyue looking in their direction, reaching out to wave to them, his eyebrows curved, and he was smiling at first glance.
"He, he actually took the initiative to say hello to us!"
The girls suddenly became excited and raised their hands one after another to return the favor, but saw Lu Shouyue striding towards them. At that moment, the girls' breathing stopped, they were inexplicably nervous, and their faces turned red.
They looked at each other, their thoughts went blank, and they didn't know which of them he was coming towards.
Even the air seemed to have become thinner. Some people couldn't help but take a step forward. Just as they were about to speak, Lu Shouyue directly ignored the girls and came behind them.
"It came pretty quickly."
His voice was low and shallow, as moving as a clear spring, but he was not speaking to them.
The girls all turned around, and when they saw clearly who the tall and handsome boy was talking to, they suddenly felt mixed emotions in their hearts.
Sure enough, handsome guys are all beautiful girls!
The beauty also wears a mask, but only her eyebrows and eyes are exposed, which clearly shows her beauty.
The exposed skin on her forehead was so white that it glowed, and her eyes were more like stars in the blue sky.
Lin Wanwan had been used to being stared at since she was a child. She ignored the looks of others and walked into the library side by side with Lu Shouyue with a smile, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Wow, this pair is really eye-catching."
"Hey, it's a pity that all the famous herbs are owned."
Lin Wanwan, who followed Lu Shouyue into the library, whispered: "Are you planning to appraise paintings in the library?"
Lu Shouyue smiled: "No, it's not a painting appraisal, it's just an appreciation. I have something to tell you in advance. This painting of yours may have some origins. If it is true, I'm afraid you will be troubled for a while. The origin of the painting is clear.
Is it followable?"
Lin Wanwan said: "It is definitely not illegal income."
Lu Shouyue laughed and said: "That's not what I meant. Haha, let's go directly to the office on the fifth floor. Several experts are already waiting there. Let's take a look. Do you have any concerns?"
Lin Wanwan smiled: "Okay, I don't know how to draw, so I need an expert to give me some help."
The office in the library is quite large, about forty square meters, with bookcases and books everywhere, giving it a strong bookish feel.
There is also a small living room in front of the desk. There is a set of antique wooden sofas and coffee tables. Three old men are sitting on them. The one in the center is making tea. This scene is like the most down-to-earth poet.
As Bai Juyi wrote, "The room is fragrant and filled with medicinal gas, and the cage is warm with roasted tea smoke."
"Xiao Lu, are you here?"
"Yeah, I got it, haven't you had your tea yet?"
"Waiting for you."
As soon as they saw the two people coming in, the three old men raised their eyes and looked over. Lu Shouyue and Lin Wanwan both took off their masks.
Lu Shouyue gave a brief introduction to both parties, and Lin Wanwan smiled and greeted the three old professors. One of them, Professor Cao Yong, she had met before when she was selling celadon, and the remaining two were from the Academy of Fine Arts.
big cow.
Cao Yong still remembered her and couldn't help but smile: "It's you, little girl."
He turned his head and said to the other two old professors: "Xiao Lu received a few pieces of celadon from her a while ago. You have also seen them. They are all genuine."
"Two young men, come on, let's have a cup of tea first, and then we'll take a good look at the paintings." An old professor from the Academy of Fine Arts named He pointed at the freshly poured tea and motioned for the two of them to come forward and get it.
Lu Shouyue whispered: "This tea has some background. The old man just got it. It is very precious. You can have a good taste."
Lin Wanwan smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I'll just have to chew peonies."
After drinking tea, Mr. He couldn't wait to speak: "Xiao Lin, where are the paintings? Come on, spread them out on the table and let us old guys take a good look at them."
Lin Wanwan took out the painting calmly and spread it on the large solid wood desk.
The three old men and Lu Shouyue, wearing white gloves and anti-oxidants, after a dizzying operation, leaned their four heads in front of the painting, looking at it, whispering, and even took out a magnifying glass, inch by inch.
Take a closer look.
"is that true?"
"It looks real."
"The paper has some traces of time, but it's hard to tell the year."
"It's well preserved. This kind of paper is definitely before Tang paper. Look at the texture and technique. Modern paper is not like this."
“But there’s no celebrity endorsement from future generations.”
"It's a problem."
The four of them completely ignored Lin Wanwan and were discussing on their own. Lin Wanwan simply sat on a chair and drank tea slowly. Although she didn't know how to taste tea, the tea had a slight aftertaste in her mouth, and it was indeed delicious.
Woolen cloth.
She thought again of the tea-making techniques of the Tang Dynasty. Even for a handsome man like Xiao Chong, the tea he made was difficult to swallow.
She just couldn't understand the taste buds of the Chinese people. This tea mixed with salt, onion, ginger, pepper, jujube, cinnamon, orange peel, mint leaves and other things completely covered the tea itself. How could it taste good?
However, I have to say that Xiao Chong's appearance of cooking tea is still very pleasing to the eye. The whole process of drinking tea, which is elegant and refined, is an absolute visual enjoyment. No wonder it is welcomed by the literati of the Tang Dynasty.
Tea making in the Tang Dynasty paid attention to water from the beginning, using water from mountains, rivers and wells.
Mountain water, that is, spring water. The water that Lin Wanwan eats and drinks in the Tang Dynasty is the water that the tribesmen volunteered to help her pick from the waterfall pool halfway up the mountain every day. The well that was drilled before is now only used for washing.
When it comes to water, Lin Wanwan is more confident than the fastidious Xiao Chong. Xiao Chong lives in Xiaoxi Town and does not have the conditions to go to the mountains to fetch water every day.
Just as I was thinking about it, a voice came from my ear: "Wanwan, Wanwan?"
"Huh?" Lin Wanwan raised her head and looked at Lu Shouyue, "Are you sure? What do you think? What's so special about this painting?"
Lu Shouyue looked at her and said unconsciously: "You are smiling so drunkenly, what are you thinking about? Boyfriend?"
"No, no, no." Lin Wanwan quickly denied, "How is this painting?"
