Wang Mo took the things and said: "To be honest, I really need these things. I didn't expect to stay here for a while before I came here. Thank you so much!"
"You guys wait for me for a while. I'll put things away for a while. I'll take you around for a while. Your last visit was too short. There are many interesting places that you have never been to."
Wang Mo's stay here these days has not been in vain. He has long been on good terms with the monks here. He now knows many things that tourists don't know about, and he is also qualified to enter. p>
Seeing Wang Mo leave, Xu Hongmi asked quietly in her sister's ear: "This guy is not very good to me! Do you like this kind of art?"
Xu Hongdou pushed her angrily and said, "Don't talk nonsense, what if he hears it!"
"Unless he has a good ear, let's go and see where he lives."
Xu Hongdou didn't really want to go, "If there's anything interesting to see where he lives, I won't go!"
Xu Hongmi pulled her and said: "You are stupid. If you want to understand a person, you have to understand him from his private space. This is the place where you can see a person most clearly.
He is in the same yard as you, and you don’t see him when he looks up or down every day. If he disguises himself, you may not be able to see through it.
And here where he lives, he never thought that you would come back, so now is the best time to see his true side."
Wang Mo, who was walking in front, twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly. Xu Hongmi did speak very quietly, but who made Wang Mo so smart?
He doesn't want to hear it either, but he can't control it?
Just as Wang Mo came back to put down his things, he saw Xu Hongmi pulling Xu Hongdou to the door.
The sloppy scene that I imagined did not appear. The whole room was extremely clean. Although it was very simple and there was not much furniture, the table and the floor were spotless.
Xu Hongdou looked at her sister, as if to say: Look, it’s different from what you thought!
Just when the two sisters made eye contact, Wang Mo came over and interrupted their communication.
I took them to some unknown places in Wuwei Temple, and told them some stories and legends along the way.
At this time, the meal bell rang, and Wang Mo invited: "Although the vegetarian dishes here are average in taste, the best thing is that the experience is different. Let's go and try it together?"
During the meal, Wang Mo's behavior of taking care of Xu Hongdou was all seen in Xu Hongmi's eyes, and his sister accepted it as a matter of course. Everything about the two of them seemed so natural and harmonious.
After eating, Xu Hongmi also said goodbye. She came here mainly to see Wang Mo. Now that people have seen it, they naturally want to go back.
But before leaving, Xu Hongmi made a very unreasonable request.
"This is the first time we meet. As Hongdou's friend, should you give me a gift?"
Hearing her sister's words, Xu Hongdou hurriedly pulled her, thinking she was up to something else.
However, Xu Hongmi ignored her and looked at Wang Mo intently, waiting for his answer.
Wang Mo was just stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is right, I was negligent, but I don't have anything here, how about I go back with you?"
Xu Hongmi shook her head and said, "Don't bother me. You're not a painter. I'm here just to create. Just give me the painting you're most satisfied with!"
】
After only three seconds, Wang Mo said: "Okay, I will get it for you now."
After Wang Mo left, Xu Hongdou said hurriedly: "Sister, what are you doing? Why do you make such an unreasonable request?"
"What's wrong, it's just a painting. If he can't bear to part with it, don't you think you should leave him as soon as possible!"
Xu Hongdou wanted to say something else. At this time, he saw Wang Mo coming out with a paper tube.
"Sister, this is the painting that I think I am most satisfied with. I originally wanted to show it when I get back, but now I can only give it to you like this. I am very sorry!"
Xu Hongmi took it over without humility and opened it in front of Wang Mo. Although with Xu Hongdou's help, a part of it was opened, but there was still much behind it that had not been unfolded.
What struck Xu Hongmi was a giant landscape painting. Unlike Xu Hongdou, Xu Hongmi knew nothing about these works of art.
She knew that even ordinary Chinese paintings of such a large size were of high value, not to mention that they were made by Wang Mo, a professional, and what he said he was most satisfied with was indeed true.
After Xu Hongmi put it away, she handed the painting to Xu Hongdou, took out a box from her bag, handed it to Wang Mo and said, "I accepted your gift, so I have to return the gift, otherwise it would be too unreasonable.
”
Just seeing the box, Wang Mo understood that it was a watch, and the logo on the box also told Wang Mo that its price was not cheap.
Wang Mo shook his head and said: "I can't accept this, it's too expensive!"
Obviously Xu Hongmi wasn't asking for his opinion at all. She put it in Wang Mo's hand and said, "I, Xu Hongmi, have given me the things that I gave away. There is no reason to take them back. Okay, don't give them away."
On the way down the mountain, we sisters talked."
After that, Xu Hongmi pulled Xu Hongdou, who looked stupid, down the mountain, leaving Wang Mo where he thought about the meaning of Xu Hongmi's move for a long time.
On the way down the mountain, Xu Hongdou asked with a troubled face: "Sister, why did you give Wang Mo such an expensive watch? Does he think you are using money to humiliate him?"
Xu Hongmi said indifferently: "If he thinks so, then you should leave him as soon as possible and stay as far away from him as possible. For a person with such a sensitive self-esteem, it will be very tiring for you to get along with him in the future."
Looking at her worried and troubled sister, Xu Hongmi said angrily: "What a fool. You are so easy to deceive. If you meet those sweet-talking men in the future, you will be easily fooled.
Don’t worry, I have carefully observed Wang Mo. He is not the kind of person you are worried about. He will not think that I am humiliating him.
I gave him that watch just to tell him that you are not an ordinary working-class family. When you quarrel and have troubles in the future, he will also pay attention to his attitude towards you.
During lunch, I also saw that you were obviously deeply in love with him, but you just didn’t know it.
No one can persuade a woman in this state. Since you have identified him, I, as a sister, must do something to protect you!"
At this time, Xu Hongdou realized her sister's love and care for her. Xu Hongdou was moved and hugged her sister's arm tightly.
After returning to Youfeng Xiaoyuan, Xu Hongdou gave the painting to Xu Hongmi, but Xu Hongmi did not accept it.
Instead, he said: "Please keep this. Since it is his beloved thing, how can I keep it as my own? The reason why I asked him for this is just one more reason to give it away, otherwise I would just give it away."
It seems too abrupt."
The next day, Xu Hongmi took a plane and left. On the way back, Xu Hongdou seemed a little depressed. Chen Nanxing comforted her, but the effect was obviously not very good.
After sending Xu Hongdou and his sisters away, while Wang Mo was painting, the same old man came over again. This seemed to have become something he had to do every day.
After looking at it for a while, the old man suddenly said: "When Ni Feng closed the pen, it was too sharp, and the overall natural color was lost."
Wang Mo looked up in surprise, but saw that the old man had already left after finishing speaking.
"What's going on? Seeing that I am diligent and eager to learn, I have cherished my talents?" Wang Mo thought silently in his heart.
Wang Mo really guessed right. Through the old man's observation of Wang Mo in the past few days, he has already recognized his persistence and enthusiasm in his heart. What's rare is that the old man saw that Wang Mo's talent is also unusual. p>
When he watched Wang Mo paint on the first day, and when Wang Mo paints now, the old man could clearly see that he was incorporating some of the methods he learned from him.
This learning ability is very rare. In the old man's life, he has seen too many talented young people.
But there are only a few who can make it to the end and find their own way. This is because they lack the persistence and learning ability that Wang Mo has now.
Art creation does require unbridled imagination, but the prerequisite is that you learn from hundreds of schools of thought and integrate the past and the present. Only then, coupled with your imagination, can you become a master.
Even Zhang Daqian, who is known as the first person in the East in 500 years and also known as the Picasso of the East, didn’t he mainly focus on copying in the early stage?
If he hadn't copied a large number of ancient paintings and Dunhuang murals, he would not have achieved anything in the future.
Even for the many paintings that Zhang Daqian copied from Shi Tao that still exist, it is difficult for experts to distinguish the authenticity from the fake ones.
These are the things that the old man values Wang Mo most.
However, no matter what the old man thinks, since he is willing to give him guidance, Wang Mo is naturally willing to accept his guidance.
For several days in a row, every afternoon, the old man would come over and give some pointers. He would talk about one place every day, never the second place, but he would change it the next day.
After giving Wang Mo guidance for a week, suddenly after the old man finished painting, he stopped Wang Mo who was about to leave.
"Come to dinner with me!"
Wang Mo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't refuse. He had been learning other people's skills for so long. He just made such a small request, and there was nothing else he couldn't agree to.
The old man walked in front, and Wang Mo followed him half a step behind.
The old man suddenly asked: "Do you know why I stopped you?"
Wang Mo said in a respectful tone: "Of course you have your reasons for stopping me. As a junior, I really shouldn't guess your intentions."
After hearing this, the old man pointed at Wang Mo and said: "Slippery, I don't believe you can't guess it?"
Wang Mo smiled and said nothing.
The old man sighed and said: "Originally, I came here to cultivate my mind and cultivate my character. I didn't think about other things at all. But seeing that you are tenacious and determined to learn, I really can't bear to see you wasting your talents and time.
