Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Lin Ran didn't intend to defend himself at all. He had already completed the appraisal anyway.

At this moment, the door of the hotel was pushed open, attracting everyone's attention.

Lin Ran also took this opportunity to return to his position.

It was Ma Zhen, Tian Hai and Guan Yun who came through the door.

"Hahaha, it's so lively, everyone, keep on going and don't worry about me." Ma Zhen said with a familiar look.

Qin Zhongxing originally wanted to ask who Ma Zhen was, but he was so rude and ignored Mr. Qin at the birthday party.

As a result, Mr. Qin not only stopped him, but also stood up himself.

"Mr. Ma!" Mr. Qin was very excited, not at all like an old man in his forties.

"Old Qin, just sit down." Ma Zhen came to sit next to Lin Ran with a smile.

Guan Yun also acted extremely calm. Only Tian Hai felt a little embarrassed and muttered: "Can't you keep a low profile?"

"The word low-key does not exist in Ma Zhen's dictionary," Ma Zhen said.

Guan Yun also smiled. He felt that Ma Zhen was quite to his liking.

"Speaking of which, is it time to give gifts?" After Ma Zhen sat down, he found that everyone was looking at him.

He also asked loudly.

"It's okay, get ready to start eating." Mr. Qin said with a smile, acting extremely polite.

"How about that? Today is your sixtieth birthday. Of course I have to prepare a gift." Ma Zhen stood up.

"You..." Tian Hai hesitated, feeling that Ma Zhen was too ostentatious.

Ma Zhen just glanced at him with squinted eyes, and Tian Hai immediately stood up and acted obediently.

He followed Ma Zhen and walked to Mr. Qin.

Then, he took out a gift box.

Open the gift box and inside is a scroll.

Tian Hai did not hesitate, took out the scroll and showed it in front of Mr. Qin.

Because Tian Hai was not tall enough, Ma Zhen lifted him high, and the complete calligraphy and painting was undoubtedly displayed in front of everyone.

At this time, Tang Lanxuan couldn't sit still. He stood up, stroked his glasses, and planned to take a closer look at the calligraphy and painting.

Mr. Qin's eyes also lit up and he said to Bank of China: "Bank of China, ask the staff to push the easel over."

"Yes." Qin Zhongxing left. After a while, two staff members pushed the easel into the venue.

Ma Zhen and Tian Hai hung the painting on it and let it slowly spread downwards.

The complete picture scroll appeared in front of everyone.

"hiss..."

Although not everyone is an antique dealer, most people still have a certain level of appreciation for calligraphy and painting.

The moment I saw the calligraphy and painting, there was a roar of admiration in the venue.

This is a three-meter-high ink painting.

In the painting, the main subject is a pine tree standing on a cliff.

The picture has also been processed for depth of field. Behind the pine trees, there are undulating mountains. Between the mountains, there are clusters of trees, and the layering is extremely clear.

The artist only used a few drops of ink to bring the foggy scene on the top of the mountain to life on paper.

Above the mountain fog, there is a red sun hanging in the sky.

The overall image is distinct, and even people who don't know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting can see the artistic conception.

What I want is not what I portray!

Mr. Qin was very interested in this calligraphy and painting. He even stood up and came closer to appreciate the calligraphy and painting.

Ma Zhen smiled proudly, "Old Qin, what do you think of this painting?"

Mr. Qin was overjoyed, and the others were also in admiration.

This calligraphy and painting looks expensive.

To be able to give such a congratulatory gift, he is definitely the most handsome boy at the birthday party.

Lin Ran also squinted his eyes to observe the calligraphy and painting.

"Ma Zhen is really generous."

"Haha, where's Mr. Lin?"

Lin Ran was suddenly shocked. This horse was shaking, and it really pushed him to the forefront of the storm.

Ma Zhen was sitting next to Lin Ran, how could he not know where he was?

Obviously intentional.

Ma Zhen said: "Did Lin Ran help you with the appraisal just now, Lao Qin? Now, do you want to hear his understanding of this calligraphy and painting?"

"Of course!" Mr. Qin looked very happy.

Now that Ma Zhen mentioned it, Mr. Qin also looked at Lin Ran, his eyes full of expectation.

Lin Ran stood up helplessly.

Although he was extremely reluctant to be in the limelight, he didn't want to spoil everyone's fun either.

"I've convinced you." Lin Ran rolled his eyes at Ma Zhen, who deliberately showed a proud expression, as if to say: "Let me help you get revenge."

Under the envious eyes of everyone, Lin Ran walked up to Mr. Qin again.

He looked at the calligraphy and painting and praised: "As expected of Brother Ma, you can get such a precious calligraphy and painting."

Everyone was silent. Most people didn't know the origin of this calligraphy and painting, waiting for Lin Ran to reveal the answer.

The Welcome Pine in Huangshan Mountain is known as the Six Wonderful Pines in China.

China is a "land of etiquette", and the special shape of the welcoming pine has naturally been given the image of "ritual". It has been a frequent visitor in the writings of literati since ancient times.

This landscape painting has skillful brushwork and appropriate use of ink, which vividly displays the artistic conception of the "ceremony" of welcoming pine trees.

It is clearly the work of a famous artist.

"Which company's work is it?" Ma Zhen asked mysteriously, raising his eyebrows.

The corners of Tian Hai's mouth twitched slightly, but he stopped talking.

"Except for Tang Yin of the Ming Dynasty, there are several people who can imitate this special brushwork." Lin Ran said with a smile.

"Awesome." Ma Zhen gave a thumbs up.

But everyone else was stunned.

What?Did you hear me right?

Tang Yin’s authentic work?

But some people expressed objections, and this person was Wang Shuai.

"Impossible, why haven't I heard that Tang Yin painted a welcoming pine!"

However, his words did not attract others' attention.

Everyone is immersed in the magic of landscape paintings. It is rare to take a look at this kind of authentic work.

You will never see them in the market normally.

Mr. Qin also looked at Ma Zhen in surprise: "Mr. Ma, no wonder! It turns out that Tang Yin's original work is authentic! Mr. Ma, you are really serious!"

Mr. Qin even cupped his fists to express his gratitude to Ma Zhen.

Ma Zhen waved his hand and said quickly: "No, I haven't given you anything good in all these years, as long as you like it."

It goes without saying that Tang Yin is famous.

Anyone who knows a little bit about calligraphy and painting has never heard of Tang Bohu.

Qin Zhongxing couldn't help but take another look at "Welcoming Pine". To be honest, he was not a serious person.

However, he just heard Wang Shuai's voice.

Although it was very small, Qin Zhongxing felt an indescribable disgust towards Ma Zhen, so he said: "Mr. Ma, someone just said that Tang Yin did not paint the welcoming pine. Can you explain it?"

"Zhongxing, don't be rude." Mr. Qin immediately stopped Qin Zhongxing.

Qin Zhongxing didn't dare to offend his grandfather, and was about to apologize when Ma Zhen said nonchalantly, "I'm not good at writing, so I'm afraid you won't understand when I explain it. But Brother Lin should be better at it, right?"
