Chapter 57 Meeting with Lanxi(1/2)
"Mr. Ye also likes painting?"
Hearing the sound, Ye Fan turned around.
For an instant, both of them were stunned, with obvious surprise in their eyes.
Lan Xi was surprised because of Ye Fan's age.
too young!
On the phone, Ye Fan's voice sounded like he was in his twenties, or even close to thirty, because the calmness in his voice did not sound like a young man at all.
But how could Ye Fan in front of him be in his twenties or thirties?
I'm afraid, not even twenty years old!
Ye Fan was surprised because Lan Xi's appearance was at least 70% similar to Ning Xi's.
In just a moment, he guessed the identity of the woman in front of him.
Ning Xi’s mother!
Realizing the woman's identity, the casualness in Ye Fan's eyes disappeared, replaced by solemnity and respect.
"I'm Ye Fan. Madam, just call me by my first name."
Ye Fan spoke, his voice was calm and low, completely inconsistent with his appearance.
"You still don't know what to call Madam?"
"My surname is Lan. Judging from your age, you should be young. Just call me Sister Lan."
After the initial surprise, Lan Xi chuckled and introduced himself gracefully.
"Hello, Sister Lan."
Ye Fan climbed up the pole, his mouth was very sweet.
What, you can’t climb if there is a pole?
There is something wrong with your brain!!!
Lan Xi walked lightly to Ye Fan, stood side by side with Ye Fan, her eyes fell on the landscape paintings on the wall, and asked softly: "Ye Fan, I saw you were very obsessed with it just now, can you understand it?"
It must be said that language is an art.
The words that tended to be interrogative came out of Lan Xi's mouth, and there was no sense of abruptness at all. Instead, it felt like a warm conversation with the big sister next door.
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Ye Fan's mouth and said: "I understand a little bit, but I don't dare to show my embarrassment in front of Sister Lan."
"It's okay, let's talk about it."
Lan Xi raised her hand and brushed her hair at the temples, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Looking at your age, you should be about the same size as my daughter. Just right. I would also like to hear young people's understanding of this kind of ancient painting."
"In this case, I will show my shame."
Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Ye Fan was no longer humble.
Be a human being!
Be humble when you should be humble, but you should not be too humble.
"If I read it correctly, this painting should be "Snow Scenery and Cold Forest", which was painted by Fan Kuan, a master of painting in the Northern Song Dynasty."
"Fan Kuan is a landscape painting master as famous as Dong Yuan and Li Cheng. They are collectively known as one of the "Three Great Masters of the Northern Song Dynasty" and are highly praised by later generations."
His gentle voice made people want to continue listening.
"Even Mi Fu, who always relied on his talent and arrogance, commented in "History of Painting" that "no one has surpassed him in this dynasty." Zhao Mengfu, a calligrapher and painter of the Yuan Dynasty, praised him as "a true masterpiece in ancient and modern times."
"."
"This painting depicts the magnificent scene of mountains and rivers in the north after snow in winter. Among the white snow, there is a steep mountain peak. This is the main scene. Behind it, there are countless mountains, boundless, majestic and precipitous.
…”
Listening to Ye Fan's talk, the surprise in Lan Xi's eyes became more obvious.
The young man in front of her looked young, but he knew so much about ancient paintings, which was beyond her expectation.
Ye Fan smiled politely and said: "This painting should be three pieces of silk put together without leaving any trace."
"The brushwork is old-fashioned, green and majestic, the ink used is just right, and the layout is amazing, showing extremely high painting skills and artistic attainments."
"People in the Song Dynasty did not have the habit of leaving names on paintings. There was only one big tree trunk with the four characters "Chen Fan Kuanzhi" written on it. This is similar to his other masterpiece "Traveling in Streams and Mountains". It should be Fan Kuan
It was specially painted for the palace and is extremely detailed and exquisite."
The words fell.
Lan Xi couldn't help but clapped her hands, the admiration in her eyes not being concealed at all.
"I didn't expect you to have such knowledge at such a young age. It's really rare."
"Sister Lan is so complimentary."
Ye Fan's face was calm, and he did not show any complacency. He said humbly: "If you are ignorant of the surface, you will not be able to reach the hall of elegance."
Lan Xi smiled and said nothing, not too entangled in this issue.
"Sit down first."
"Thanks."
Sitting opposite each other.
Lan Xi looked at her eyes and said with a smile: "How old are you this year? Are you in college or..."
"Senior year of high school."
"oh?"
"My daughter is also a senior in high school."
Lan Xi stared at Ye Fan curiously and asked: "With the treatment I have given, the applicants should all be graduates of the four prestigious universities. Faced with so many outstanding competitors, what are you going to do?
"
To be honest, she admires Mark very much.
Although he is young, he has a calm personality and extraordinary conversation.
There is no formality in his words and deeds, and he is not disrespectful to etiquette.
Such young people are very rare.
But Lanxi is not optimistic about Ye Fan. Although today's interview is a process, there are still necessary tests.
Not just any person can teach her daughter.
Facing many graduates from prestigious schools, a senior high school student...
No matter how you look at it, there is no hope.
Ye Fan's expression was still calm, and he could call his future mother-in-law that way, right?
May I?
Well, yes!
Anyway, morning and evening.
Besides, she doesn’t know either…
"cough!"
Facing his future mother-in-law, Ye Fan sat calmly and said: "Sister Lan, in the recruitment advertisement, you did not ask for academic qualifications. This shows that you do not value academic qualifications very much, right?"
"right."
Lan Xi nodded lightly and said, "Academic qualifications mean nothing."
The corners of Ye Fan's mouth curled up slightly. This was the best thing for him.
"Sister Lan's daughter and I are both seniors in high school. This is not a bad thing, but a good thing."
"Oh? Tell me your reasons."
Unknowingly, the initiative was firmly in Ye Fan's hands, and he met Lan Xi's doubtful gaze. There was only purity and sincerity in his eyes.
"I have a better understanding of the senior high school curriculum and the focus of the major questions in the exam. I can provide your daughter with efficient and targeted tutoring."
"Don't use 'you', just use 'you'." Lan Xi corrected.
"Feel sorry."
Ye Fan nodded and continued: "Having said so much, Sister Lan must be thinking that even if I know more about the senior high school courses, my knowledge reserve and problem solving level will definitely not be as good as those of graduates from the four famous universities."
"..."
Lan Xi was confused.
Why is this young man named Ye Fan in front of me... a bit...
To be continued...
