Chapter 731 - 0731: Fubao is One Month Old 3_1
Father Lu carefully rolled up the paintings by Huang Binhong and said, "Indeed, you recognized the works of Master Hong. Rightly so, I’ve always admired his posthumous art. Back in the day when I was young and visiting the capital, I had the honour of meeting him. He gifted our family two of his paintings. In the blink of an eye, nearly a decade has passed since Master Hong’s departure. Now, when I visit the capital, I can no longer see my old friend. What a sorrowful reality!"
Feng Qingxue was quite stunned. She didn’t expect that Father Lu had actually met Huang Binhong and that their house even had his paintings. This fact was more unfathomable to her than having works from Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian.
"Father, you truly have an extensive circle of friends."
"Back then, I visited Master Hong as a junior. I had the privilege of receiving his personal guidance, providing me with a deeper understanding of the art of painting and calligraphy. Unfortunately, I had no means to collect his works at the time." Father Lu sighed, then carefully separated the authentic pieces from the forgeries, placing the real ones on the table, "Here, I want you to keep these. In the future, our children can study and learn from them."
Just as Feng Qingxue responded to him, she was tugged by Xibao.
Xibao had been weary from his journey earlier and had been resting sprawled on a chair. Now, he seemed to have recuperated.
"Mama!" Xibao tiptoed and raised the rattle drum in his hand, "Sister, Sister!"
"Is it for your sister? She will be very pleased." Feng Qingxue squatted down so that Xibao could see Fubao’s chubby face and round eyes, which looked very similar to Xibao’s.
