Quick Wear: Crazy Fox Calm Tree

As to whether the painting was actually taken away, he didn't know.

"I remember I put all the paintings in the warehouse. Why don't we go take a look?" Mu Qing suggested.

Qin Yu nodded, and the two of them came to the Mu family's warehouse together. Under Qin Yu's gaze, Mu Qing found a large box from the corner.

"The original painting and the copied painting are all here." Mu Qing patted the box and said.

Qin Yu opened the box, and what came into view was half a box full of scrolls. Qin Yu picked up a painting and opened it to have a look. It was a painting of ladies enjoying spring outing and playing in the water. He put down the scroll in his hand and opened another one. It was also a painting of ladies enjoying spring outing and playing in the water.

"These paintings..." Qin Yu put down the scroll in his hand and did not look at the others. It was obvious that half of the box should be the same painting. Although he had just heard Mu Qing say that he had copied this painting, Qin Yu had never thought that Mu Qing would paint so many.

Looking at the dozen or twenty paintings of ladies enjoying spring outings and playing in the water in the box, Qin Yu's eyes were filled with a hint of embarrassment. Among so many paintings, which one was painted by his father?

Although he had seen water play paintings drawn by his father when he was young, Qin Yu was unable to tell which one was the real one when so many similar paintings were placed together.

"I wanted to learn painting at the time, so I found this painting to copy. Then I accidentally got into trouble, so I painted many pictures of spring outings and water activities. I had no place to put all these paintings, so except for the one hanging outside, I put all the others here."

Mu Qing said embarrassedly. Seeing Qin Yu's bad expression, Mu Qing quickly said, "But I recognize the original painting. Wait for me to find it."

As Mu Qing spoke, he took out the paintings from the box. Unfortunately, he only picked up half of it, as there was no room for the remaining half.

"Zi Jin, you can take the rest!" Mu Qing looked at the remaining paintings in the box, then looked at Qin Yu standing beside him, and said with a smile.

Qin Yu nodded and put the remaining paintings in the box, along with the ones that Mu Qing couldn't hold in his arms, into his arms.

"Let's take it outside and have a look. It's too narrow in here!" Qin Yu walked outside holding the scroll, saying as he walked.

"Okay." Mu Qing followed him happily. The two of them returned to the hall holding the paintings, then opened the scrolls in their hands one by one and spread them on the table and chairs.

The spacious living room suddenly became a little crowded. A dozen or twenty similar paintings were connected together, which seemed magnificent for a moment.

Qin Yu swept his eyes across the similar paintings, trying to see if he could tell them apart, but then he retracted his gaze.

If he could still see problems with the paintings that were first hung in the hall, then with so many paintings placed here, he almost couldn't even remember what the Spring Outing and Water Playing Picture looked like in his memory.

After dispelling the various images of water play in his mind, Qin Yu regained some spirit and finally remembered the water play pictures drawn by his father.

"Mu Qing, come and see which one is the real one." Qin Yu said as he looked at Mu Qing, not daring to look at those paintings anymore.

"This..." Mu Qing looked quite natural at first, but after scanning the paintings one by one, Mu Qing frowned slightly, with a look of confusion on his face.

These seem to be copied by myself, and there don’t seem to be any originals!

"What's wrong? Can't you tell the difference?" Qin Yu saw that he had been hesitating and didn't say anything, as if he understood something. He picked up a painting at hand, looked at it for a few seconds, and then put it back.

"If they really can't tell them apart, then I'll take these paintings back and let them check. Although these paintings are very similar, there are always some differences in the paper and ink." Qin Yu said.

"I didn't find the original." Mu Qing shook his head, "The original doesn't seem to be here."

"Are you sure?" Qin Yu's expression became very serious. If it was confirmed that these paintings were fake, then the original ones might have been replaced by someone else.

"Well, I didn't think of it just now, but when I saw these paintings, I remembered that the original is not here." Mu Qing explained awkwardly, "I got into trouble a few years ago and accidentally destroyed the original. It was because of the destruction of the original that I painted so many paintings.

Later, in order to repair the original, I put it in my room, but as time went by and I was busy, I forgot about it."

As Mu Qing spoke, he walked into his study and took out a marked scroll from the painting jar.

As the scroll was opened, it was a picture of a lady enjoying a spring outing in the water, but the painting was stained with ink, and the grass and lake where the lady was were all stained black with ink. Although it was clear that it had been cleaned, the traces of ink were still quite obvious.

"Will it still work like this?" Mu Qing had a trace of guilt on his face.

"It should be fine. The outline above is quite clear." Qin Yu observed it and nodded.
