Xu Mobai would stand in front of him at all costs. This was a situation that Yunxi did not expect.
Together with her assistant, she helped Xu Mobai to the lounge at the back, and she took the old man's pulse with concern.
Seeing that the old man's pulse was normal and nothing unusual, I felt relieved.
"Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble just now."
I came here to see an art exhibition, but it ended up like this.
Yun Xi felt a little apologetic in her heart.
Xu Mobai waved his hands lovingly and patted the sofa beside him affectionately.
"Come on, sit down quickly!"
Because Yunxi had saved his life, Xu Mobai felt grateful and offered to invite her to the art exhibition to see her paintings.
The old man thought very simply, he just wanted to return a favor to the other party.
If the child is spiritual, he will give some guidance.
If the painting was average, he would give the other person a painting as a thank you gift.
Xu Mobai even prepared the paintings to be given as gifts.
Until he saw Yunxi's work brought back by his assistant.
Xu Mobai, who was worried about not being able to find a suitable candidate to inherit his mantle, was so excited that he almost didn't sleep all night.
When Yun Xi sat down next to him, Xu Mobai spoke with a smile.
"Yunxi, are you interested in learning painting from me?"
Even Yunxi, who had lived two lifetimes, was stunned.
Her favorite painter wanted to accept her as her apprentice, which was like pie in the sky.
She stood up from the sofa, took two steps back, and saluted Xu Mobai solemnly.
"Yunxi pays homage to Master."
Originally, Xu Mobai was a little worried that Yun Xi would reject him.
Seeing the little girl agreeing so straightforwardly, Xu Mobai stood up happily.
"Ha...Okay, Master likes your cheerful temper."
"Mr. Xu." A staff member came in from outside, "The reporters and guests are all here."
"Let's go!" Xu Mobai smiled and took Yun Xi's arm, "Master will introduce you to me."
"Master." Yunxi took his arm, "It's better to wait until I make some achievements before you introduce me, so as not to embarrass you later."
Yunxi is not a person who is eager for quick success.
Having lived two lifetimes, she is far more calm than her peers.
Xu Mobai was startled and laughed.
"Neither arrogant nor impetuous, okay, Master is right about you! However, Master must introduce you today, otherwise, when people see your paintings, they won't know who you are!"
Taking Yunxi outside, Xu Mobai smiled and introduced her to friends and acquaintances from the calligraphy and painting academy and association.
Even when reporters took pictures, he took Yunxi with him.
"Don't just take pictures of me, take pictures of my apprentices more. Let me tell you, don't look down on our Xiao Xi. When our Xiao Xi becomes famous in the future, you won't be able to take pictures of us even if you want to."
That gesture is like that of a child who picked up pearls on the beach and shows them off everywhere.
A complete showman.
As we all know, Xu Mobai became famous but never accepted an apprentice.
There is no other reason than that he is too demanding.
Many well-known young painters took the initiative to become his disciples, but they were all rejected by him.
Everyone was surprised to suddenly take in such a little-known girl.
When everyone sees Yun Xi's painting, they will understand the reason for this eyebrow.
Her paintings, whether in terms of layout, color, or conception, are all remarkable and unique.
There is full spirituality between the strokes, which is most rare.
The only shortcoming is the technique.
When Yunxi was young, he was initiated by a master in a Taoist temple. The old Taoist priest had average attainments in calligraphy and painting.
She spends more time exploring on her own without receiving professional guidance, so she is a wild child.
In this regard, Xu Mobai happens to be an expert.
After lunch, the old man immediately took her to his studio in the college and taught her his painting techniques step by step.
Yunxi was originally smart and could tell everything at once.
Xu Mobai held a cup of purple clay tea in his hand and stood watching her painting. He drank tea and hummed a tune happily.
When I saw Yunxi off in the afternoon, the old man was still talking to his assistant.
"Let me tell you, I really found a treasure this time. This child will become a great person!"
That night.
Photos of Yun Xi and Xu Mobai appeared in art news.
Ordinary people don’t pay much attention to this kind of news, but everyone in the calligraphy and painting circle knows about it.
As a student of the Chinese painting department, Tang Zining knew the news immediately.
I saw a photo of Xu Mobai and Yun Xi standing side by side on the phone screen.
Tang Zining, who was applying ice to his face, was so angry that he raised his hand and threw his phone against the wall.
"Yunxi, go to hell!"
It's okay to compete with her for Jiang Nuo, but now even the master wants to compete with her, which is simply unreasonable.
Dang Dang Dang!
There was a knock on the door.
Tang Zining just came up as a servant and invited her downstairs for dinner without looking back.
"No mood, no appetite, don't bother me!"
Squeak——
There was a soft knock on the door and someone pushed it open.
Fu Nanjin walked in with a smile: "Who are you angry with? You are so angry?"
Hearing her voice, Tang Zining stood up from the sofa with a look of surprise.
"Sister Nan Jin, when did you return to China?"
"A few days ago." Fu Nanjin smiled and handed the brocade box in his hand to her, "That...is a gift for you."
Tang Zining opened the lid of the box and looked at the new jewelry in the box, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Thank you, Sister Nan Jin."
"Why are you being polite to me?" Fu Nanjin noticed the injury on her face and frowned, "What's wrong with your face?"
"Forget it, it's not that Yunxi."
When Yun Xi was mentioned, Tang Zining immediately began to gnash his teeth.
"I really don't know what kind of evil possessed my brother-in-law. He spoiled her so much that he would snatch everything from me. Today he even beat me in front of so many people. I..."
The more Tang Zining thought about it, the angrier he became and almost burst into tears.
"Look, how swollen your face is?"
Fu Nanjin helped her sit down on the sofa, gently wiped her tears, took the ice cubes from the table and carefully applied it to her face.
After a moment, he pretended to sigh again.
"You don't know, do you?"
"What do you know?" Tang Zining asked doubtfully.
Fu Nanjin pretended to be hesitant to speak: "Forget it, it's better not to say anything."
Tang Zining was aroused by her curiosity, shook her arm and asked: "What on earth is going on, Sister Nan Jin, tell me!"
"Actually..." Fu Nanjin put down the ice cube in his hand and held her arm solemnly, "This matter is not trivial. If I tell you, you are not allowed to tell anyone, otherwise... your uncle will have to kill him.
I can't."
Tang Zining anxiously grabbed her arm, "I promise you won't tell anyone else, tell me quickly!"
"He..." Fu Nanjin pretended to hesitate, "He is with Yunxi."
