Chapter 406：

The honorific name is the word "Mr." after the full name.

For example, Mr. Lin Xian, Mr. Qi Baishi, Mr. Zhang Daqian...

Lin Xian naturally understood what he meant, and said modestly: "Mister can't afford it, just call me Lin Xian."

The old man shook his head, and said with a serious look: "It's the master, the teacher means Mr. Lin Xian has such a talent, and he can be an old man."

Hearing Lin Xian was praised, Zhang Mengyao felt as sweet as drinking honey.

Holding Lin Xian's arm, she looked expectantly: "Master, how do you think this painting compares with those famous paintings in the Forbidden City?"

Hearing this, the old man lowered his head, carefully admiring the painting, and at the same time said: "Although this is Western painting, art is common. Regardless of the historical cultural factors, I personally think that it is comparable to the artistic level. Even this painting by Mr. Lin Xian is even better."

The smile at the corner of Zhang Mengyao's mouth became stronger, and his eyes were full of happiness.

The lady on the side was taken aback for a moment, and she couldn't help but stepped forward to the mahogany table.

Better than those famous paintings in the Forbidden City?

The key is that the author of this painting is still a young man who is less than 20 years old?

This...

To be fair, if it wasn't for her acquaintance with the owner of this store, I'm afraid they would think that they were in a partnership.

After all, such routines are not uncommon in antique shops.

With a strong curiosity, the lady poked her head slightly and looked at the painting on the table.

Beauty!

Very beautiful!

The girl in the painting is beautiful but not glamorous, and the whole person is alive

The slightly raised corners of the mouth made people couldn't help but smile.

The look in his eyes made the whole painting come to life.

Chapter 5 Leave Calligraphy!

"Writing at the Watching Pavilion at Zijin Mountain, I wish my girlfriend Zhang Mengyao a happy birthday.-October 18, 2015, Lin Xian"

Seeing this line of writing, I took another look at the girl in the painting.

The lady's calm heart was filled with jealousy and envy.

The old man is right, art is common, regardless of national boundaries

Really beautiful things, even if the culture is different, can also taste the beauty of them.

Some paintings will soon be forgotten after one glance.

But some paintings can make people remember deeply and remember for a lifetime.

Obviously, this painting is the latter.

The lady hesitated for a moment, and finally she said, "You two, take the liberty to ask, is this painting meant to be transferred?"

Transfer?

Lin Xian and Zhang Mengyao were taken aback and turned to look.

The light in the shop was too dim before, and I didn't see the facial features clearly, it just felt very beautiful and gave a gentle temperament to people.

At this moment, Lin Xian felt that this lady was very familiar, and her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Mu Wanqing.

Isn't this Mu Wanqing's mother?

Of course, Lin Xian also guessed wildly, otherwise it would be embarrassing for the person who confessed to the wrong person if he didn't say it.

Zhang Mengyao did not hesitate, but refused decisively: "I'm sorry, this painting is not for sale."

"It's such a shame."

The lady smiled, did not continue to entangle her, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Her education is very good, her words and deeds are very decent, which makes people feel very comfortable.

This made Zhang Mengyao a little embarrassed. He felt that his previous words were a bit too heavy, so he explained: "This is a birthday gift from my boyfriend. No matter what, I won't sell it."

The lady teased her hair in her ears and smiled and said, "It's okay, it's me who is too abrupt. If it's me, I'm afraid I won't sell it."

"You guys get busy first, I won't bother you."

After all, the lady turned and walked to the wooden frame and continued to select inkstones.

Zhang Mengyao retracted her gaze and asked: "Boss, can you mount it?"

"Yes, of course I can mount it!"

The old man nodded and cut off the railway.

"Probably much?" Zhang Mengyao asked.

The old man replied: "It's easier to frame in Western style. It takes about a week."

"So long?"

Zhang Mengyao was taken aback.

She originally thought that it would take up to one or two hours to mount a painting, but she didn't expect it to take a full week.

Seeing her expression, the old man explained: "This is still fast. If you change to another store, it’s impossible for ten days and half a month. Of course, if you want to use a machine to mount the painting, that’s fine. It's done in a few hours."

This kind of old shop sells craftsmanship.

Zhang Mengyao didn't understand the doorway inside and curiously asked, "Is there any difference?"

"The difference is big!"

The old man curled his lips and said: "As the saying goes, three-part paintings, seven-part mounting. If a painting is mounted well, it can not only set off the artistic conception of the painting, but also extend the life of the painting."

For example, the existing antique calligraphy and paintings have been able to experience hundreds of thousands of years, and they have been passed down to the present. In addition to the good maintenance of the collectors, the most important thing is the craftsmanship of the painting.

If you want to mount a painting, you don't mean to just find a frame and put the painting in.

Before mounting the painting, we need to observe the original painting and figure out the bearing and artistic conception of the painting, so that we can select suitable materials to make the frame, so as to achieve the temperament of the painting.
