Chapter 201 Xiaoxiang

Although Yi Xue was a little unhappy, she was afraid that she would really anger Chu Yang, so she had no choice but to suppress her dissatisfaction and drive him out of the school.

After watching the sports car leave, the students around him had dull expressions. No matter how you looked at it, Chu Yang didn't look like the type to be taken care of by a rich woman.

But for such an ordinary boy to do what they wanted to do but couldn't do, it really subverted the world view.

"Perhaps, the tastes of rich women have become more serious now. They don't like young meat like us anymore, but are interested in ordinary boys with ordinary looks like this?"

At this moment, many boys began to hate themselves for being so handsome...

Jiangda is located in the urban area, far away from Xiaoxiang Xiyuan in the suburbs. Chu Yang didn't want to argue with Yi Xue, so he took a nap in the car. When he woke up, the car just drove into the manor.

Looking at the beautiful villa with vast area and beautiful scenery, Chu Yang somewhat agreed with Yi Xue's previous words.

The Wei family is indeed quite powerful, otherwise it would not be qualified to occupy such a large piece of geomantic treasure land.

"I just don't know, is this Wei the same as that Wei?"

Chu Yang looked around, using his fiery eyes to investigate.

There were quite a few people in the villa, but they were all ordinary people doing their own things, and they didn't seem to have much interest in his arrival.

Finding that there was no ambush, Chu Yang felt a little relieved. From this, it could be seen that the Wei family did not have any ill intentions towards him for the time being.

Yi Xue parked the car, waved to Chu Yang, and walked straight towards a Republic of China-style building.

Pushing open the door, Yi Xue glanced inside and found that no one was in the living room. She turned to Chu Yang and said, "You sit here for a while, and I'll invite my young lady to come down."

Say it, Yi Xue quickly ran up to the second floor.

The decoration in the living room is very stylish. The floor is paved with white marble, and the furniture is mostly made of mahogany. The crystal chandelier above the head is neither ostentatious nor dim, and completely fits in the antique style.

What interested Chu Yang was that there were many beautiful landscape paintings hanging on the walls around the living room.

Chu Yang thought it was good, so he got up and walked to the painting to browse casually.

As he looked at them, Chu Yang felt something was wrong. After a long while, he realized that the names of these paintings were very familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere.

Chu Yang was confused and looked at the remaining paintings. When he saw an ink painting named [Xiaoxiang Picture], his eyes widened in surprise.

"Isn't this painting collected in the Palace Museum? Why does it appear here? Is it a fake?"

This is what shocked Chu Yang. Although he didn't know much about painting, he had heard of Xiaoxiang Tu.

This painting is a work by Dong Yuan of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties period. It is known as the pioneer of the "Southern School" landscape painting in the history of painting and is also one of the representative works of Chinese landscape painting.

As far as Chu Yang knew, this painting should be collected in the Palace Museum at this time, but how could he not be surprised that a painting with the same name appeared in a private manor?

After the shock, Chu Yang became more convinced of his guess.

Throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of great masters who copied calligraphy and painting. There are countless fakes of famous works circulating among the people. If this is an imitation, it would make sense.

However, even if it was a copy, Chu Yang was amazed.

This painting is of a very high standard. It shows a landscape of lakes and mountains. The mountains are gentle and rolling. The mountains are mostly covered with hemp and chaff, and the vegetation on the mountains is rendered with ink dots.

The combination of the composition of the flat distance and the large area of ​​water in the close-up gives the picture a strong sense of space and can even more vividly show the misty state of the Jiangnan landscape!

Chu Yang felt a little regretful and murmured: "Such a painting is just a fake. How elegant would it be if it were an authentic painting?"

"This is not a fake, but a 100% genuine Dong Yuan..."

Just as Chu Yang was shaking his head in regret, a lazy voice suddenly sounded in the living room.

Chu Yang subconsciously turned around and saw a dignified woman in a white dress walking down the winding stairs.

She is Miss Wei whom Yi Xue went to invite!

When Chu Yang turned around, Miss Wei also saw his face clearly.

For some unknown reason, the moment their eyes intertwined, Miss Wei was distracted for a moment. Affected by this, her steps became chaotic and her body almost lost her balance.

Fortunately, Yi Xue followed Miss Wei and helped her at the critical moment, thus avoiding the tragedy of falling down the stairs.

At that moment, Chu Yang also came to his senses and subconsciously wanted to rush forward to help her. After seeing her being supported by Yi Xue, he calmly stood still.

Miss Wei was really brave. After looking at Chu Yang seriously for a few times, she walked down the stairs with a normal expression.

"This picture of Xiaoxiang is indeed authentic, and the one in the Forbidden City is a fake. If you don't believe it, you can read Dong Qichang's inscription and postscript at the end of the volume."

After walking to Chu Yang's side, Miss Wei pointed at the end of the volume and motioned for him to check it.

Miss Wei's voice was clear, but also had a lazy tone, which made people feel comfortable. When Chu Yang heard the words, he couldn't help but look at the painting.

Hearing that the Forbidden City collected fakes, Chu Yang felt it was very ridiculous. The Xiaoxiang picture had been authenticated by countless experts. If it was a fake, it would shock the industry.

According to research, there are three seals on the Xiaoxiang map that were stamped by Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty when it was collected. There are also seven seals by Yuan Shu, Wang Duo and others.

Chu Yang counted carefully according to where Miss Wei pointed and found that there were exactly ten seals on this picture!

"This doesn't mean anything, right? Even calligraphy and painting can be faked, so naturally this seal can be imitated. Maybe the seal on it is also fake?"

Chu Yang still refused to believe that it was very possible for someone to use such calligraphy and paintings that could not tell the difference between true and false to show off.

"That's right. I also have two private seals of Dong Qichang. Even if I stamp them on them, it doesn't prove that this painting is authentic."

Miss Wei didn't argue with him after hearing this. She slowly walked to the sofa and sat down before saying:

"It can be seen that you are very wary of me, so you are also skeptical of my words. In fact, I really have no ill intentions towards you. I only invited you to visit me out of consideration for my daughter's condition. It's not you. What’s there to gain?”

"Wei Zixi is your daughter?"

Chu Yang turned his head in surprise and couldn't help but look at Miss Wei blankly.

Judging from her age, she is in her early thirties at most, which is when she is in her prime. Unexpectedly, she has a sixteen-year-old daughter!

"Could it be that she is Wei Zixi's stepmother?"

Chu Yang couldn't help but curse again. It was very common for rich families to marry again, so this made sense.

Looking at his expression, Miss Wei couldn't help but shake her head and said, "You're wrong. Zixi is my biological daughter. If she has no blood relationship with me, I won't bother to care about the lives of other people's children."

Chu Yang's expression changed. Could it be that she had the ability to read minds?

How could you guess what he was thinking? This is really strange!

Chu Yang finally paid attention to the woman in front of him, and he said slowly: "I wonder what Madam's surname is, and how should I call her?"
