Chapter 30: Everyday Mutual Confrontation
When Xu Wenxuan approached, she saw a landscape painting. In terms of its brushwork, distribution of ink marks and artistic conception, it was a rare and good work.
Xu Wenxuan couldn't tell the reason. After all, he was a layman, and he couldn't see many things, so he could only make the most intuitive feeling.
Li Jinyu smiled and said to her: 'How is it? This is what my grandfather got so hard that he got it. There are several old guys fighting with me, but they can't make it past me."
Old Man Li looked at his granddaughter proudly, hoping that his granddaughter could also praise this painting, so that his vision was still as powerful as ever.
But what I waited for and after, was Xu Wenxuan's words, "It's okay."
When I heard the "okay", Old Man Li was dissatisfied. How could he describe it as "okay"? Isn't this saying that my vision is just average.
After all, children don’t know how to appreciate such works. This work has been certified by many collections.
He didn't know that after Xu Wenxuan had seen Lin Wenfeng's paintings, it was okay to look at this painting. The pictures of Lin Wenfeng's landscape paintings were full of a feeling that she could not describe. Looking at his paintings was like having experienced a trip herself, as if she was in an immersive place.
And this painting just lets her senses stay on the surface of the painting, without the feeling of touching the soul.
"After all, it's a child, I don't understand the essence of it." Li Jinyu said, shaking his head.
Xu Wenxuan was displeased with grandpa’s words. I don’t understand what a child means. Even if I don’t know much about you, I still know the beauty and ugliness at the very least.
So he said to his grandfather: "Hmph, I just think it's okay. I have also seen a painting that is more than a hundred times more than yours."
Seeing that his granddaughter not only insisted that the painting in his hand was just as good as the painting, but also said that he had seen a painting that was more than a hundred times better than this painting, which made Old Man Li laugh: "My good granddaughter, I'm not arrogant, it's unlikely that you've ever seen a painting that is better than this one, let alone a hundred times better."
Li Jinyu is actually right. Paintings of this level are rare. They are basically hidden in the homes of collectors, and most people will not show them to you.
And it’s not that better than this painting. Most of the paintings are national treasure-level paintings. You can only watch them in museums or TV.
Seeing that his grandfather not only didn’t believe him but also laughed at him, Xu Wenxuan was so angry: “Hmph, grandfather, I know you don’t believe him, but I have really seen works that are better than this painting.”
When Old Man Li saw that his granddaughter was still unwilling to accept it, he asked her: "Okay, tell me where you have seen it and who drew it."
"It was painted by Taoist Lin from Fangcun Mountain." Xu Wenxuan replied angrily.
When Old Man Li heard her answer, he burst into laughter. If you talk about someone else, even if you haven't heard of Li Jinyu, you may still believe in three points. If you say that a Taoist priest can draw a better work than his own painting, he will not believe anything.
In his eyes, the Taoist priests are just people who draw talismans and drive away ghosts and cheat people of money. They are already very awesome to know medical skills. Drawing is better than me than you are not kidding.
After all, in this world where Taoism is not developing optimistically for some reason, Li Jinyu's ideas also represent the Dharma-oriented approach of most people.
Because of the vigorous development of Buddhism, local sects have gradually become less well-known. In addition, too many people used to deceive under the banner of Taoism, which left a bad objective influence on the world. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people have real talents and knowledge.
"Oh, my stupid granddaughter, if you say that you have nothing to refute in terms of medical skills, but you say that a Taoist priest can draw a painting that is a hundred times better than this work, it's not that my grandfather laughs at you, but you say you don't believe it yourself." Li Jinyu said with a smile.
When Xu Wenxuan heard his grandfather questioning his male god, the anger broke out in his heart: "Ah~"
The old lady outside the study heard Xu Wenxuan's shout and walked in: "What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong, Xuanxuan tells her grandmother what's going on."
"Grandma, grandpa, he bullied me."
"Tell my grandmother why your grandfather bullies you? If you are in a rebellion, you will still dare to bully my baby granddaughter." The old lady said in anger.
Seeing that his wife came in, she obviously wanted to be honest and lenient, otherwise she would have enough to bear it, so she explained the whole thing.
When the old lady heard this, she complained: "You two, you start making trouble every time you don't say a few words. You said you are such a big person, why are you making money with Xuanxuan? Your granddaughter said that you have it, just have it. Look at your seriousness. Believe it or not, I will burn all the rags for you."
"Yes, yes, you're right." The old man immediately admitted his mistake when he saw a step.
Besides, it’s not okay to bow your head under the pressure of my wife, and the days ahead will be long.
The old lady nodded and smiled and said to Xu Wenxuan: "Xuanxuan, I have taught your grandfather a lesson. He knows that he is wrong. If he bullies you again, he will tell her grandmother, "Grandma will deal with him."
Xu Wenxuan looked at the conversation between the two old men and found something wrong. You two are acting as a double act. Isn’t this fooling me? After all, I still don’t believe what I said.
"Grandma, do you think I'm talking lies and don't believe me?" Xu Wenxuan stared at the old lady with Shui Lingling's big eyes.
Seeing his granddaughter's aggrieved look, he turned his head to look at Li Jinyu and signaled: I can't solve it anymore, you will solve the problem you caused by yourself.
Old Man Li looked at his granddaughter helplessly and said, "Xuanxuan, grandpa is wrong. You shouldn't suspect you, it's because grandpa is wrong."
Xu Wenxuan knew that his grandfather was just comforting him, which did not mean that he believed what he said. He could tell by looking at his eyes and expressions: "Hmph, right and wrong."
Seeing that he could not comfort the angry granddaughter, he had no choice but to ask his wife for help again.
The old lady thought about it and suddenly thought: "Xuanxuan, have you been confirming that you have seen such paintings? Is there anything that can be proved? If so, take it out and let your grandfather see it."
"Yes, aren't you that sure, let your grandfather know more." After hearing his wife's suggestion, Li Jinyu agreed with one hundred times, so that he could get it done once and for all.
Xu Wenxuan then remembered that there was the painting Lin Wenfeng gave her on her. She was so angry just now that she forgot about this.
"Hmph, don't you want me to prove it? I'll take it out for you now and see what you have to say."
After saying that, he went to the living room and took in the small bag containing the painting.
Under the eyes of grandparents, they took out a neat folded painting from their bag and handed it to Li Jinyu.
When Old Man Li saw that his granddaughter had really taken out something, he took it over and put on his glasses. He wanted to see what was special about this painting that his granddaughter praised to heaven.
The old lady also became curious, after all, the reason for the quarrel between their grandfather and grandson was because of it.
