"Tony, your article "The Story Behind the Evening Bell" is indeed very attractive, but as far as I know Mr. Miller is still alive. Will he sue you if he sees it?" Levin kindly reminded.
Tangning waved her hands nonchalantly and replied, "It's okay!"
Levin tried to persuade her a few more times, then found that Tangning still insisted, so she had no choice but to agree. Facts have proved that Levin's worry was right, because within a few days of the publication of "The Story Behind the Evening Bell", it was criticized
A lot of verbal abuse.
Not to mention those who wrote letters of complaint to the New Orleans Express, there were even people blocking the door to scold Tangning for "over-interpreting", "ruining classics", and "slandering Mr. Miller"...
To these people, Tangning's answer was just one sentence: "Did you paint this "Evening Bell"? How do you know there is no rectangular box similar to a coffin on the lower level of the basket? Mr. Miller didn't even say anything, you jumped
What are you doing out here?"
To be honest, if the context hadn't allowed it, what Tangning would have wanted to say back was the classic saying "The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is"...
Unexpectedly, someone actually spread the news back to France. They thought that Mr. Miller would be furious after reading "The Story of the Evening Bell" and it would be best to send a lawyer to New Orleans to sue Downing. However,
Unexpectedly, after Mr. Miller read it, he thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Mr. Downing is right. I did draw a small coffin before the basket, but later I felt it was not good, so I used the basket to wrap the coffin."
He covered it up, but I think I covered it up pretty well, how did he see it?"
With the testimony of the original author, Mr. Miller, the situation immediately reversed. Most of the media began to praise Tangning's eyesight, and even gave him the title of "clairvoyant eye"...
"Tony, tell me the truth, do you have clairvoyance?" Brian, who came after hearing the news, asked curiously.
Tangning laughed dumbly and said, "How can I have clairvoyance? You have known me for so many years. If I had it, would you still know it now?"
"What's going on with this painting?" Brian asked, pointing to "Evening Bell".
"I guessed it!" Tangning said bluntly.
"Guess, your guess is so accurate?" Brian asked in disbelief.
"I'm lucky!" Tang Ning said perfunctorily.
Brian stared at Tangning for a long time, then said speechlessly: "Then you are really lucky!"
"My luck has always been good!" Tang Ning shrugged and replied proudly.
After accepting this setting, Brian immediately asked, "Have you found any problems with other famous paintings recently?"
Although there were indeed a few paintings in Tang Ning's memory that were worthy of publicity, she couldn't release them right away, so she shook her head and replied, "How come there are so many famous paintings with problems!"
"Well, that's true!" Brian said quietly.
Just when Brian was about to say something else, Levine walked in beaming with joy, first gave Tangning a big hug, and then said happily: "Tony, you are amazing! Your article "The Evening Bell"
"The Story Behind the Evening Bell" brought the reputation of "The New Orleans Express" to Paris, and now I have to reprint all the issues that published "The Story Behind the Evening Bell"!"
Tangning, on the other hand, waved her hand without any greed for credit and said, "This is because Levin, you trust me. Otherwise, which newspaper would dare to publish this?"
To be honest, Brian is also proud of this, because this time he really has a unique vision, otherwise who would normally dare to post something like this? It's just that he is embarrassed to brag in front of his old friends!
At this time, Brian suddenly suggested: "It's such a happy thing, let's have a drink!" After saying that, he walked to the wine rack, placed three glasses, and started pouring wine.
Tang Ning didn't pay attention at first, but when she turned around, she accidentally caught sight of the bottle of wine that Brian poured for her from the corner of her eye. She immediately regretted why she didn't hide the bottle of wine, so she quickly shouted
: "Don't pour it, you can't drink this wine!"
Hearing what Tangning said, Brian immediately stopped what he was doing, then turned around and asked, "Tony, why can't I drink this wine?"
"I can't tell. Anyway, it will be fine if you don't drink!"
Unexpectedly, Heidi walked in and interrupted with a smile: "Brother, don't listen to Tony's nonsense. I've drunk this wine before. Although it tastes a bit weird, there's nothing wrong with it!"
Hearing Heidi's answer, Brian breathed a sigh of relief and teased Tangning, "Tony, are you reluctant to give us a drink?"
"Oh, am I such a stingy person?" Tang Ning argued.
At this time, Levin also came over and asked: "Tony, isn't this the wine we drank at Mr. Warner's house?"
After Levin's reminder, Brian also responded: "I just said, look at why this wine looks so familiar. It turns out that it is the wine made by Mr. Warner's friend, so it must be fine!"
He even said, took a big sip of the wine in his hand, and then showed off: "Tony, don't you think this is okay!"
"Actually, I don't understand what's going on with this drink. Anyway, I only drank one glass last time and got drunk, but Heidi didn't do anything after drinking it!" Tang Ning replied a little depressed.
After hearing this, Levin's interest also rose. He came over, picked up a glass and said, "Tony, let me do an experiment for you too!" After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp, and even Heidi drank again.
Had a drink.
After a few minutes, Brian saw that everyone was fine, so he teased Tangning: "Tony, this wine must be fine, how about you try it again?" He poured another glass for Tangning.
Seeing this, Tangning had no choice but to walk over, pick up the cup and take a sip. Then she realized that nothing happened, so she chatted with the three of them while drinking, and before she knew it, she finished the glass of wine.
But at this moment, Tangning suddenly felt her head sink, and then she fell down softly without any warning. Fortunately, Levin on the side reacted quickly enough to hold him up, otherwise he would definitely have died.
I have to knock on the bar.
When Heidi saw this, she quickly shouted: "Tony, Tony, what's wrong with you?"
"Tony, he, he seems to be just like what I just said, he got drunk after just one drink! But that shouldn't be the case. With his alcohol capacity, how can he get drunk after just one drink? And aren't we all doing well?"
ps: Maybe my taste is relatively niche, so I can read very few books on Tomato, but this book "Wake Up: I Carried Forty Murder Cases" is really beautiful and the plot is very interesting.
It’s a good arresting game, and the sense of immersion is pretty good. I just pray that no supernatural force or alien will come up for me in the end to cover up my lies!
