Chapter 14
Pouring tea!
Chatting!
After a long time, Old Zhang finally got to the point." Lu Yuan, we all know that you're busy. May I know why you've come to visit my Zhang family?"”
Lu Qing said," Elder Zhang, don't be anxious. You are Grandmaster Da Qian's only son. Your ability to appreciate paintings has already reached a very high level. This time, I brought a painting for you to appreciate!"”
As he spoke.
Lu Qing took out a copy of Chu Ci's painting from Chu Youran's live broadcast room.
This was printed.
There were still many differences from the real manuscript, but it didn't have much of an impact on people like Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang walked over with his walking stick.
He opened the scroll.
He began to appreciate it.
Many members of the Zhang family also came over curiously.
As a family of Chinese artists.
Almost no one in the Zhang family was simple.
At a glance, he could tell that this painting was different from the rest.
"Although these words are printed, according to the style of writing, technique, and artistic conception, it seems to have the style of our Zhang family!”
"Is this the work of our Zhang family?”
"Why do I feel that this style is a little like the essence of great-grandfather!”
"Eh? It was strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it. Could it be that there was no original manuscript?”
"That's not right. Even we can't draw this painting at the moment. Although the painting is simple, the depth of the skill is amazing!”
"Could this be a posthumous work left behind by great-grandfather?”
"That's not right! If he is, he should be in our Zhang family. Why is he wandering outside?”
"And this painting is definitely a casual work, not a meticulous one!”
The Zhang family members discussed animatedly, each and every one of them exclaiming in admiration.
Mr. Zhang did not say a word. There seemed to be some doubt in his expression. He turned around and returned to his seat.
Lu Qing seemed to have expected the Zhang family's reaction.
"Elder, how is this painting?" he asked with a smile.”
"Mr. Lu, may I know where the original manuscript of this painting is?" asked Mr. Zhang. How did you get this copy?”
"I saw it by accident when a live streamer was broadcasting on the Internet!" Lu Qing said. The original manuscript is not with me!"
Live broadcast?
Streamer?
The internet?
Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said,"I can't comment on this painting, but the person who painted it must have admired my father's painting very much, so he spent a lot of effort to copy it. I can only say that he has learned some of the essence of my father's painting!”
Mr. Zhang's expression did not look too good.
As a master of the art world, he could tell at a glance that this painting was extremely similar to his father's, be it in terms of style or technique.
It was as if they were exactly the same, like several rivers. Although they were divided in the southeast, they were two branches of the same sea.
More importantly!
Elder Zhang could tell that the artistic conception of this painting was a level higher than Grandmaster Da Qian's.
This was something he could not accept!
One had to know.
Mr. Zhang admired his father the most.
If someone copied his father's painting, he would only smile faintly. However, if he were to admit that his father's painting level had been surpassed by the person who copied it, it was impossible!
Lu Qing smiled faintly and said," Elder Zhang, please don't be angry. I'm here to verify something!"”
"What's the matter?" Old Zhang asked unhappily.”
Lu Qing said," The artist of this painting is actually an old man. It is said that he is already over a hundred years old. He publicly announced on the live broadcast platform that he has a disciple named Da Qian. I wonder if Grandmaster Da Qian had ever taken a master before he died?”
As soon as he said this.
Everyone in the Zhang family was furious.
They stood up.
She glared at Lu Qing.
What a joke.
Was he tarnishing the Zhang family's great-grandfather?
One had to know.
Grandmaster Da Qian was a legend in the Chinese art world and was known as the brush of the East.
how can I allow others to tarnish it?
None of the disciples of the Zhang Clan had ever heard of Grandmaster Da Qian having a master.
Moreover…
How many years had Grandmaster Da Qian been dead?
Even if he had a master.
He would have probably died long ago.
There were all kinds of evil people on the internet now.
He had actually offended the Zhang family.
"Hmph, Dean Lu, I've always respected you, but you can't do things without rules!”
"That's right…our Zhang family has always stood aloof from the world. We definitely can't tolerate others acting atrociously on our heads!”
"Great-grandfather is a legend in the Chinese art world. Even you have to respect him. How can you humiliate him like this?”
"It's just…"
"Who is it that dares to be so arrogant?”
The Zhang Family members were filled with righteous indignation, and they looked as if they were going to skin the bastard who had tarnished Grandmaster Da Qian alive.
"Shut up!"
Old Zhang suddenly shouted.
Instantly.
The Zhang family members all shut their mouths.
Mr. Zhang narrowed his eyes and looked at the Lu Academy."The person you mentioned, is his surname Chu?"
When Lu Qing heard this question, he instantly felt goosebumps all over his body. Wasn't his surname Chu?
"He calls himself Chu Ci!" Lu Qing said.
Clang!
Hearing this.
Mr. Zhang's walking stick fell to the ground.
He stood up.
He took two steps forward unsteadily.
Thud.
Old Zhang suddenly knelt down in front of the door. He was already so old, but he was actually wailing!
"Grandmaster…it's Grandmaster…he's actually still alive. Heavens, the heavens have eyes! Father…I thought that I would never have the chance to complete your request to meet grandmaster!”
"I didn't expect grandmaster to still be alive. Heaven rewards those who work hard. Father, my unfilial son has brought you good news!”
"Father…"
When Old Zhang cried, the entire Zhang family was shocked.
Even Lu Qing felt his scalp tingle as he looked at Elder Zhang. He didn't expect Chu Ci to be Grandmaster Da Qian's master!
Lu Qing helped Old Zhang up and said,"Old Zhang, is this true?"”
Old Zhang nodded excitedly and said,"That's right! "When my father was young, he loved painting mountains and rivers. In order to improve his skills, he went to Mount Kunlun alone to look for beautiful scenery to capture inspiration. However, he almost died on Mount Kunlun and was saved by my grandmaster. My grandmaster taught him the art of painting. After leaving Mount Kunlun, my father relied on my grandmaster's guidance and became the brush of the East. Before my father died, his only wish was for me to find my grandmaster, but I…always thought that my grandmaster was dead!”
Lu Qing took a deep breath and said,"I didn't expect such a past!"”
"Lu Yuan, where is Master Chu now?" Old Zhang asked.”
"It should be in Haicheng!" Lu Qing said.”
Old Zhang took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at the Zhang family.
"Qian 'er, immediately send out an announcement. All the direct members of the Zhang family, no matter where they are, must arrive at Sea City Base before noon tomorrow!”
"Follow me to pay my respects to your grandmaster!”
