Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Chapter 572 Be My Disciple!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in at the Forty-nine City Art Center, awarded top-tier painting skills!"

In an instant, creative techniques from ancient and modern painting masters surged into his mind like a torrent.

Song Yun, who was walking normally, suddenly paused and closed his eyes to slowly adapt.

"What's wrong, husband? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

Ye Qingqing looked at Song Yun with concern and said, "If not, let's go home first; you've been working hard lately."

"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable, it's fine now."

When Song Yun opened his eyes again, he could fully discern the message the artists of the paintings in the exhibition intended to convey, as well as the shortcomings in their techniques.

"Young friend, I see you have been staring at this painting for a while. Have you noticed something?"

At that moment, an old man with a ponytail slowly walked towards Song Yun. The old man looked to be over seventy years old but, perhaps because he often exercised, his body was muscular and robust.

This was the kind of charming old man discussed online.

"The painting's subject is excellent, and the overall artistry is quite skillful, but there is a slight imperfection."

Song Yun humbly said, "Of course, these are just my personal opinions; better not to mention them."

"No, don't hold back. Today, everyone who has seen this painting has nothing but praise for it; you are the first to point out its flaws. Tell me, what's not perfect about it?"

The old man crossed his arms, with the stance of someone who wouldn't let you leave until you'd given a clear explanation!

"Alright, I must state again that this is merely my personal view."

Song Yun slowly stepped forward, pointed at the artwork, and said, "This piece is a traditional ink wash painting. Whether it's the subject or the skill and mounting, it can be called a master's work. However, precisely because of this, the artist tried to express too many ideas; the paper is only so big, and it's packed full, which makes it somewhat dazzling to the eyes."

"At a glance, it's entirely unclear what the focus is! Furthermore, the painting's title is 'Spring River and Flowers in the Moonlit Night,' but the base color chosen is the original color of the paper. Even if the artistic conception is there, it still looks slightly discordant at first glance."

"You make some good points. I felt something was off about this painting just now!" Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

"This young man has a strong foundation in art; the two points he mentioned hit the nail on the head!"

"I wonder who the author of this painting is. Sigh, if only they could hear what this young man has said; it would be worthwhile!"

Many of the onlookers were artists with solid foundations. They had initially felt that the painting was brilliant and that the techniques were definitely those of a master.

But Song Yun's commentary had lifted the fog before their eyes, giving them a deeper understanding of the painting.

The art exhibition this time featured premium works on the first floor and some eliminated but still remarkable pieces on the second floor.

Having caused such a commotion on the first floor, Song Yun could only browse the second floor with Ye Qingqing.

If he didn't see Mr. Liu Changqing soon, Song Yun planned to head back.

After all, his time was very precious.

Upon reaching the second floor, Song Yun was surprised to find an extraordinary number of oil ink paintings. If the ratio of ink wash to oil ink was 8:2 on the first floor, the second floor was a paradise for oil ink paintings, with only a few ink wash paintings visible through the gaps.

"Song Yun!"

Liu Changqing greeted the person beside him and quickly walked towards Song Yun.

"You're finally here. I'll introduce you to a few seniors."

Liu Changqing, his eyes filled with fervor, grabbed Song Yun's arm.

After all, Song Yun's calligraphy foundation had already become known in the circle, and everyone wanted to meet this promising young talent.

"Elder, I'm just here to relax with my wife today, so I won't get involved in the art circle matters."

Song Yun said helplessly.

"Ah? I'm sorry, I sometimes get so focused on things that I unintentionally ignore the people or things around me."

Liu Changqing said apologetically, "Hello, my name is Liu Changqing, and today I'm very pleased to meet the wife of young friend Song."

"Master Liu, hello, I am Song Yun's wife, Ye Qingqing."

In the presence of outsiders, Ye Qingqing exuded an elegant and regal demeanor that made it immediately apparent she came from a family of great wealth and prestige.

"Qingqing, I'm taking the liberty of asking to borrow your husband for a bit. Is that okay? After I'm done, I'll personally bring him back to you."

"Hehe, sure, that's fine. I can take my time browsing the exhibition."

Ye Qingqing said understandingly.

She and Song Yun could stick together anytime, but if Liu Changqing wanted to take Song Yun to meet some esteemed figures, that was a different matter.

She had heard of Liu Changqing, a master calligrapher with a family lineage of tradition!

The circle of literati has always been one of the hardest to penetrate. If Song Yun could enter it, it would be beneficial for expanding his network!
