Chapter 213

The exhibition was held as scheduled. Du Xiaoxian was a little nervous. He had something on his mind. He didn't sleep well at night. Instead, he got up early and chose a slightly mature dress to put on. After going out to buy breakfast, Du Huayue just got up. He specially transferred to rest and went with her today.

Before nine o'clock, they arrived at the gallery and wanted to help in advance. However, everything was ready and there was nothing to do.

Zhou Xuan asked them to sit in the office and drink tea. He liked the tea ceremony. There was a very beautiful tea sea with root carvings of old trees carved with blooming plum blossoms. The details of branches and leaves were clear, and even the veins of leaves were clearly visible. Because it has been used for a long time, the old enameled oars are thick, warm and smooth, and they feel very good. Even Du Xiaoxian, who doesn't know the tea ceremony, is full of praise: "this is so beautiful!"

"It's called the sea of tea. It was handed down by my ancestors. I only knew that my grandfather's generation used it to drink tea. Later, it was passed to my father, and now it's mine," Zhou xuanpo was somewhat proud. "A while ago, a Tibetan wanted to take it away with a lot of money. I didn't give it up. It's a family treasure. It's not easy to sell it."

Hessen laughed: "listen to you, it must be that the price does not agree with you. If people give more, I'm afraid you will be moved."

"It's impossible unless he gives it a sky high price." Zhou Xuan said, "if you let my dad know, you must cut me to death. Our family is also an art family. What we do is related to art. Our family is more or less noble. I'm a bit vulgar. "

Just as he said, the water boiled, Hesen made the tea, shook it, and poured the water into the dark channel of the tea sea. Du Xiaoxian was a little strange: "how to pour it out?"

"It's called tea washing," Hessen explained. You can drink the second water. "

Du Huayue said, "you people in the city are fastidious, so good tea should also be washed."

"It's not because the tea is dirty. The first tea is too strong and the entrance is not good, so I don't want it."

"In our place, tea is expensive. When you make a pot of tea, you can put a little bit of tea and have a little tea flavor. If you want to drink strong tea, you can't do it. If you pour out the strong tea, my mother will say that you are a loser!"

Everyone laughed.

Zhou Xuan poured tea into the small cups in front of everyone. The tea soup was golden yellow, bright in color and fragrant. Du Xiaoxian took it up and prepared to drink it. However, He Sen was not in a hurry to drink it. He put the cup under his nose and smelled it before sipping it slowly. She was puzzled and listened to Du Huayue saying, "teacher he, you are so careful when you drink tea. You are afraid that the taste is wrong?"

Zhou Xuan burst out laughing: "he is smelling the fragrance, which is also a step in drinking tea. He likes to pretend to be elegant and don't have to learn from him."

"Such a small cup, Ziliu went down, did not taste the taste." Du Huayue pushed the empty cup forward and said, "boss Zhou, pour me another cup. This time I'll learn from Mr. He's drinking slowly and tasting slowly."

Zhou Xuan poured another cup for him. Seeing that Du Xiaoxian's cup was empty, he also poured it for her. Du Xiaoxian listened to their jokes, but he was somewhat absent-minded. He glanced at the clock on the wall from time to time.

The exhibition started at 9:30, and now it's 9:40, and no one has come. She has no bottom in her heart and stops talking for several times. Finally, she can't help saying, "wait a second. If no one comes, just pick the painting, so as not to delay boss Zhou's business."

"Xiaoxian," Zhou Xuan waved his hand, "don't worry. It's still early. Besides, you're going to be a painter in the future. Why don't you have this confidence? Don't worry, someone will come by ten o'clock. "

Even Du Huayue said to her, "this is just the beginning. Why do you give up? As boss Zhou said, show some confidence. Anyway, I'm optimistic about you. "

Du Xiaoxian bowed her head and didn't speak. She had no bottom in her heart and was afraid that others would be involved. So she couldn't help saying that. In fact, she also knew that it was lack of confidence.

Seeing Du Xiaoxian silent, Hesen joked: "Xiaoxian, boss Zhou is still expecting your paintings to make money for him? As a result, you first put out your own prestige, and boss Zhou's heart is afraid to be cool, wow

"No, no, I'm quite confident in Xiaoxian," Zhou Xuan took a sip of tea. "I'm afraid it's even better than I expected. It's not enough to sell."

Everyone was laughing. At this time, the staff came in and said that there were visitors to the exhibition.

As soon as everyone was in a good mood, they all rushed out to see, but they were acquaintances of Zhou Xuan. When they spoke, they went upstairs, and Hesen pushed Du Xiaoxian. "Go and say hello."

"I don't need it," Du Xiaoxian was timid and hesitated after being pushed by Hessen.

"It's also good to give someone a drink," he said

This is OK. Du Xiaoxian went up. There was a wine tower at the sign in place on the second floor. There was red wine in the glass. The bright color was shining in the light, like Amethyst.

Du Xiaoxian is familiar with the work of serving tea and water. He used to do this in his family, so he sent a cup of wine with a low eyebrow. The man didn't care, so he took it in his hand after thanking him.

Du Xiaoxian was about to leave when he was stopped by Zhou Xuan: "Xiaoxian, let me introduce you to Mr. Chen, who is also engaged in painting. He is an expert in painting. You can learn more from him."Not waiting for Du Xiaoxian to react, he introduced to Chen Guohua: "this is the protagonist of today, Miss Du, a new painter with great potential. In the future, you can carry on more."

Chen Guohua was surprised. He thought the little girl was just a staff member, so he didn't pay attention to it. He didn't think she was Du Xiaoxian. "Hello, Miss Du."

Du Xiaoxian is most afraid of this. He also stretched out his hand in a panic: "Hello, Mr. Chen."

Chen Guohua almost looked at her face and was even more surprised. She was so shy! Moreover, it is quiet, delicate and timid, and has no artist's temperament. Although the painting is a little interesting, it can't be a blockbuster. Zhou Xuan is willing to hold a painting exhibition for her, which is quite intriguing!

Although Zhou Xuan didn't know du Xiaoxian for a long time, he also heard about her. Knowing that she was uncomfortable in front of strangers, Zhou Xuan made an excuse to let her go downstairs.

As soon as she left, Chen Guohua asked, "Zhou Xuan, where did you find this man? It's not safe

Zhou Xuan said, "what do you think people do? Painting is the key point."

"The painting is a little interesting, but the brushwork is not so good," Chen Guohua commented. "But she has her own characteristics in the use of color."

"Today's paintings pay attention to the beauty of personality. If you have characteristics, you can sell for money."

Chen Guohua didn't believe it: "you boy, you never fight an uncertain battle. It's hard to say whether the sales of these paintings are good or not. Do you dare to pay for her? Who is she? "

"No one is. A friend introduced it. I saw the painting and thought it was OK. So I made it. It's not as complicated as you think." Zhou Xuan said with a smile, "Lao Chen, you must change this suspicious problem."

"Is it?" Chen Guohua is still suspicious. Zhou Xuan is a man of talent. He can't do anything without money. He looked at Du Xiaoxian carefully just now and found that she was very beautiful. He thought that Zhou Xuan didn't want to make a painting exhibition for her because he wanted to win over the beauty?

When someone came, Du Xiaoxian simply stood at the check-in counter and offered a glass of wine when she saw someone coming. Everyone thought she was a tea and water waiter. From time to time, someone came to her for advice, asking where the smoking area was or where the bathroom was? Others asked who the painter was? Her face was red and she couldn't answer. Seeing her disheartened appearance, Du Huayue on one side was very worried and directly introduced to others: "this is Du Xiaoxian. She painted all those paintings."

As a result, others didn't believe her very much. She laughed and left.

Du Huayue complained to her: "Xiaoxian, are you confident? No wonder I said you were a painter, and no one else believed it. "

"Brother Yue, you know I'm timid." Du Xiaoxian whispered, turning around to see Aunt Qin and her son coming, he ran to say hello: "aunt Qin, you are really here."

Aunt Qin's son Xiaozhi is a high school student. Looking at the bustling scene, he said with a smile, "I didn't expect a beautiful painter living next door to our house. It's amazing!"

Aunt Qin glanced at her son and said, "that's why I brought you here today. I'm almost as old as you. Look at how powerful they are. They've opened an exhibition."

Xiao Zhi said: "Mayor Wei is about the same age as you, and she is also a woman, but people have become mayors. You are still a family woman."

Aunt Qin couldn't cry and laugh. She looked at her son angrily and said, "you will be garrulous. I'm thankful that I'm so good at studying. "

Du Xiaoxian said with a smile: "Xiaozhi is also very good. Didn't you win the first place in the school's speech contest last time?"

"He's just playing with his mouth, he's not down-to-earth at all." Aunt Qin stretched out her hand and looked at the groups of people in the exhibition hall and said, "there are still a lot of people. OK, you are busy. Let's take a look by ourselves."

Du Xiaoxian wants to say that it doesn't matter. In fact, she is not busy at all. Zhou Xuan and He Sen are all engaged in the introduction work. She also does what she can and is very free. But aunt Qin had already taken Xiao Zhi away, so she had to go back to the check-in office again. Seeing her back, Du Huayue said, "I'll just stay here alone. You can go around and listen to people's comments on the painting."

Du Xiaoxian thinks what he said is also right. She is afraid of praise, but she is not afraid of criticism. Praise her, she will be at a loss, but criticism, she will be very pertinent to accept.

With her hands in her pocket, she shuttled through the crowd in silence. As expected, she heard someone say, "this painting is too childish. What kind of exhibition is it? I knew I wouldn't come. "

On the edge, someone said, "you think it's not good because your appreciation level needs to be improved. I think it's very good. Although it's not very realistic, it's a good artistic conception. Especially, the color is bold enough to impact the vision."

Another person agreed: "I feel the same way. Although the painter is unknown and his painting is exaggerated, he is a school of his own. The artistic conception is very good and the price is not expensive. I like a small one. You can help me to palm my eyes."

A group of people left. Du Xiaoxian stood there, smiling at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. That's great. Someone would really like to buy her paintings!

After a while, Zhou Xuan's voice came from the loudspeaker: "today's first painting was sold for 2888! Congratulations to Mr. Li Chaoqun! "Du Xiaoxian almost screamed. It's really a deal! She was ecstatic and wanted to tell Du Huayue. As soon as she turned around, she saw a familiar figure. She felt as if she had been touched by someone and couldn't move.
