The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times
Chapter 682 The Princess Surprised Everyone
On the table beside the exhibition hall, Xia Wanyuan was holding a pen and drawing quickly on the paper.
The professors of Qing University were at the center. The others could only see that Xia Wanyuan's hand did not stop. They were unable to see the final product, but when they saw Xia Wanyuan's mischievous painting style, everyone estimated her standards in their hearts.
“Young people today are really in too much of a hurry. They spout nonsense just to get fame.”
“How he holds a pen too undisciplined. How dare he say that he could draw Li Yin?”
“Sst, just look. It is not we who have lost face. Let's see how it ends later.”
While everyone was discussing in earnest, Xia Wanyuan had fully screened the people around her and sunk into the Autumn Chrysanthemum Garden.
Li Yin's painting was indeed rarely seen, but there was indeed another painting Xia Wanyuan had seen before. It's called 'Waterfall'.
Originally, Jun Shiling did not like collecting antiques and calligraphy paintings. Ever since he learned that Xia Wanyuan loved to paint, he had people buy many famous paintings from all over the world.
Among them is the masterpiece Li Yin, “Air Falls”.
Xia Wanyuan recalled the drawing method used by Li Yin in the painting. Although he could not replicate 100%, he could still do 70-80%.
As time went on, the people waiting outside grew more and more impatient. As for the Qing University professors near Xia Wanyuan, they gradually relaxed.
“With all due respect, I already do not understand why Qing University sent a little girl to attend the exchange. Isn't asking too many of us to listen to her nonsense?”
“One stop. Back then, ‘Autumn Chrysanthemum’ was personally rated by international experts. You guys are actually accompanying a little girl who is not even 20 years old to play around here. If this spreads to the international community, everyone will think that our Y Continent has no one, right?”
The people who originally wanted to see what Xia Wanyuan drew were also suspicious after hearing this. If they stayed any longer, they would lose face. Thus, under the urging of a few people, everyone slowly began to leave the exhibition hall.
“Completed.”
The people in the hall were already walking halfway when Xia Wanyuan's voice suddenly came from behind. Everyone could not help but turn to look.
The people in the exhibition hall projected the painting onto the big screen in the middle.
This painting was drawn by Xia Wanyuan using a Bamboo Orchid Brush. Chrysanthemum flowers use two hooks to draw flower petals with each sweep. The ink color is solid and suitable, and the scenery is lively and lively.
However, the most amazing thing was the artistic atmosphere of the entire painting.
It was obviously a chrysanthemum in late autumn. Even the leaves began to fall off, but the petals that lay seemed to withstand winter and autumn.
It was like Li Yin. He has been unruly and uncontrollable all his life. He had been banished many times, but his unyielding character could not be destroyed by every autumn wind.
Everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan's painting and then at the painting they thought was a painting “real”. They were silent for a moment.
Those present who knew the painting were not blind. It is clear which painting is better. In terms of technique and mood, Xia Wanyuan's paintings were much better than the collections from Hanchuan University.
So, the treasure that Hanchuan University treasured was a fake?!!!
At this moment, the faces of the teachers from Hanchuan University were extremely ugly.
The vice principal could not wait to remove the staff member who was doing the introductions from his position. Unfortunately he did not provoke the people from Qing University. How
am I going to clean up the mess now?
Professor Zhang waited for a while until the situation became very awkward. Then, he finally advanced to resolve the situation. “Professor Xia our school is just guessing, hahaha. We have not fully confirmed that the ‘Autumnur’ release is fake. We still have to wait for the international professional team to verify it. We still have to observe who is real and who is fake. Don't you agree, Principal Cui?”
“Ah yes, thank Professor Xia for your suggestion. We'll invite professional appraisers later. When the result comes out, we will tell you soon.” Even though everyone knew clearly that this painting was a fake, since Professor Zhang had given them a chance, Principal Cui naturally agreed.
However, there were always some people who were unwilling to back down and insisted on resolving the matter.
Not long ago, the fiercest associate professor who questioned Xia Wanyuan was from the Philosophy faculty and did not know much about painting. As a result, he could not see how Xia Wanyuan's painting was better than Hanchuan University's collection.
After listening to Professor Zhang's words, he believed it to be true. Seeing how Xia Wanyuan managed to escape unscathed after humiliating their Hanchuan University treasures, she could not help herself anymore.
“Nona Xia is young, but you are well-informed. How do you know that the white jade wine glass from the Han Dynasty is fake?"
