Chapter 606: A large group of people waiting to find fault
Wu Qingjin was completely relieved.
"Zhizhi, I have something to tell you, please don't be angry with me."
Seeing that Wu Qingjin seemed a little guilty, Qiao Zhizhi quickly grabbed her hand.
"Qingjin, there's no need for us to be so distant."
Wu Qingjin drooped his eyelids. "I don't know who leaked the news, or maybe Uncle Nan mentioned it accidentally. Many celebrities know that you are going to hold an art exhibition in the Guangping Palace, and they also want to take a look."
"What?" Qiao Zhizhi was stunned for a moment: "Didn't they say that all the people here are of the same age—"
She doesn't feel as much pressure as her peers because none of them have really achieved anything, so the evaluations are more tolerant.
But those celebrities have been famous for many years and have stricter requirements for their paintings.
Qiao Zhizhi felt uneasy.
"I'm sorry, I didn't tell anyone about this, but the Guangping Palace is so prominent, and such a big thing can't be kept secret."
"I didn't keep my promise to you, and I feel guilty."
Qiao Zhizhi thought that it had come to this point, and she had to acknowledge whoever came. She couldn't just chase them away or back out at the last minute. The fact that they were willing to come was itself a sign of support.
Thinking that she had learned a new skill, she gained some confidence.
"Qingjin, I don't blame you. I can accept praise and criticism. It just so happens that you know where my shortcomings are and can correct them." Qiao Zhizhi tried to smile at Wu Qingjin.
However, if the criticism is a fatal blow, an accusation that is humiliating, then it is hard to say, Wu Qingjin thought.
She looked at Qiao Zhizhi, and a feeling of superiority and sympathy rose in her heart. It was a pity that Qiao Zhizhi's future and dream in painting would be ruined today.
Qiao Lian'er brought the paintings to Prince Guangping's mansion, and she first went to meet Prince Guangping.
Prince Guangping loved art and didn't like to show up in other occasions. This was the first time she met Prince Guangping.
In the world she came from, she watched a martial arts film called "The Number One Under Heaven". The appearance of Prince Guangping was very much like the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis. He was serious and had two mustaches on his lips. He exuded the majestic majesty of an emperor.
If such a noble prince were not passionate about art, the emperor would probably be very worried.
After greeting, Qiao Jianer explained his purpose.
Prince Guangping said generously, "Since the princess is willing to work hard, then thank you for your hard work."
Qiao Jianer said, "My cousin's paintings are going to be exhibited, and they have many innovative features. I hope His Majesty won't let anyone into the exhibition room until the arrangement is complete."
"So there is a surprise." Prince Guangping said with a hint of anticipation.
"I want to see what kind of innovation it is. Princess, please make the arrangements."
Over the years, I have seen many masterpieces by great writers. No matter how excellent they are, they are just traditional styles with different contents and there are no eye-catching breakthroughs. I am already a little tired of Prince Guangping.
When Qiao Jianer and his men moved the paintings into the exhibition room, the door was closed.
Each display partition has a different style. Different paintings should be hung according to these styles and matched appropriately to achieve the best effect.
Before noon, many people arrived outside the exhibition hall one after another.
"I heard that the artist exhibiting the paintings is a young artist, only seventeen years old. He's holding an exhibition at such a young age, and in Prince Guangping's Palace. It seems he's very confident in his skills."
"Yes, at this age, this is the first time, except for Miss Wu two years ago. The Guangping Palace is really giving face. Could it be that she is really capable?"
There were also a large number of noble ladies and gentlemen of similar age who came, chattering and making it very lively.
"Qing Jin said that the young lady from the Qiao family is a rare genius. Let us observe and learn from her."
"No matter how good she is, can she be as good as Qing Jin? Qing Jin became famous two years ago and is the most famous painter among our generation. Miss Qiao has never heard of her name."
Someone whispered, "Miss Qiao and Qing Jin are close friends. Could it be that this day is all for this? There are also some famous people among us, but we haven't had the opportunity to exhibit our paintings in Prince Guangping's Palace."
The others suddenly understood: "So it's all about currying favor. Alas, Qing Jin's painting is good, and the Wu family is on good terms with the Guangping Palace, so some people have become interested."
Qiao Zhizhi didn't expect that before she even arrived at Prince Guangping's Mansion, she had already become someone who flattered and courted others.
"Well, today we're here to view Miss Qiao's exhibition. Only by discussing it together can we make progress, rather than making unwarranted assumptions and making random accusations."
A handsome young man in a green shirt said with an unhappy look on his face.
Everyone looked over in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Lin Songyan, the third son of the Yuhua Mansion. The Lin family was quite remarkable. The men born in every generation were all outstanding. Not only were they of good character, but they were also very good at studying. Countless of them passed the imperial examinations and became Juren and Jinshi. The Lin family was also the main target for the royal princesses or princes and princesses to choose sons-in-law.
Therefore, the Lin family is a legitimate royal family with a stable and respected status, and no matter how many people try to curry favor with them, they cannot keep up.
Wu Qingjin has liked Lin Songyan since childhood. Originally, Lin Songyan was not going to come to today's exhibition. Wu Qingjin sent three invitations before Lin Songyan agreed to show up, but it was only to keep the two families at ease.
Hearing Lin Songyan say this, the messy discussions stopped, and no one wanted to offend the Lin family.
However, one noble lady muttered, "It would be worth discussing only if you can produce valuable paintings."
The people brought by Qiao Lian'er were setting up the studio. She took some time to come among these noble ladies and gentlemen, listening to what they said and watching their expressions.
The exhibition hasn't even started yet and someone is already trying to ruin Sister Zhizhi's reputation. What kind of friends does Wu Qingjin make?
Fortunately, there are still some people who are clear-headed and will not let others lead them by the nose.
After a while, the big names that I met at Pei's house also arrived.
Murong Shu showed a hint of surprise when he saw these people. These people could be said to be the most powerful living painting masters in the capital, but they did not send a message to let them come, because they were notoriously upright and would not be too harsh on a teenager. What did Qing Jin think?
Maybe the news of holding an art exhibition here has spread so much that it has become uncontrollable, and many of the people who came were unexpected.
If Qiao Zhizhi did as Qing Jin said, even if everyone was tolerant, the evaluation would not be very good.
As the time was almost up, Qiao Zhizhi also arrived.
The reason I didn't come earlier was that I didn't want to have too much communication with people before the exhibition.
Murong Shu greeted her with a smile on his face: "Miss Zhizhi, so many people have come to support you, I believe you will not let them down."
