After returning to the wealthy family, I was abused by my biological parents

Like usual, Lanxiang returned to work after the holiday. Under normal circumstances, in addition to live-streaming her paintings to attract fans, she also had the task of expanding the influence of the calligraphy and painting academy.

Of course, these are not my job duties.

Although the Calligraphy and Painting Academy gave her the title of professor, she was actually not required to teach any classes, and there was no such content.

What she needs to worry about is the new young people who need to learn theories and skills from her.

So she is relatively free.

I haven't participated in regular exchange activities since I came back last year.

It really doesn't make any sense.

No one in the unit dares to bully her.

She was the only one in the studio.

So quiet that there was almost no noise.

The ice and snow outside had no effect on her.

The huge workbench was covered with fine paper, and the lines had already been outlined.

This is a Buddhist painting of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, but it is a Q version.

This painting was originally drawn for her eldest brother's little daughter.

The earliest source of this painting was actually AI synthesis, but she likes the color matching in it very much, and she likes both the crown on the Bodhisattva's head and the decoration on the white elephant's head.

So I wanted to draw it and hang it in my niece's room.

Samantabhadra represents truth, and she likes it very much.

Incense was burning in the studio, and the clear weather after the snow allowed sunlight to shine in from outside. The room was bright enough and smelled good.

She traced the lines quietly.

Chen Ping'an and Chen Xiaolong, along with their sister, were in the reception room tasting Tao Zhixing's favorite can tea.

What can I say about this thing?

This is a method of brewing tea that is unique to Gansu. Chen Pingan and his friends have never seen it before.

Tao Zhixing is not a particularly particular or pretentious person. He does have a small stove that is truly custom-made and burns purchased charcoal.

The tea in the jar looked very ordinary to Chen Ping'an. It was a kind of large-leaf raw tea with red dates, wolfberries and astragalus. After boiling it, he threw a few pieces of rock sugar into it, and then poured it out and distributed it to them.

You know what, it tastes really good!

Although Tao Zhixing was a bit slick, he was still nice to Chen Pingan and the other three. At least the tea Chen Pingan brought him this time was top-grade Tieguanyin.

Chen Shuhui and Chen Yangyang didn't want to come at first, but when they knew they were going to the Calligraphy and Painting Academy, they whispered to each other countless times.

There are so many sentences starting with "your brother xxxxxx" and "my brother xxxxxx".

Apart from "Brother", the second most common title is "Professor Lan".

Chen Xiaolong would find it strange when he heard it occasionally, but because no one told him what happened in January, his two sisters didn't say anything, and Chen Pingan didn't mention it either, so now he is confused.

Lanxiang was in her own studio and didn't know that Chen Pingan had come. Of course, Chen Pingan told the other three people that he was just passing by and he really wanted to see the Dunhuang murals.

Because many caves are not open to the public for protection reasons, if you want to see them, you really have to find Tao Zhixing to make connections.

Winter is the off-season for tourism in the northwest, and not many people go sightseeing, but all institutions and units still have to work.

No one can change this.

"Mr. Chen, this isn't a difficult matter. It's a rare opportunity for you to come. If I can't help you with this little thing, then I don't need to be the dean anymore."

Chen Xiaolong sat there very obediently, holding a small teacup in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

"The history of the Dunhuang Grottoes is very long, but it's all available online, so I won't go into detail."

Tao Zhixing took a sip of tea and sighed contentedly, "I drank canned tea when I was a child, and I still like the taste."

Chen Pingan praised: "Although it is very fresh, it tastes really good."

Chen Xiaolong followed up with praise, "It's really delicious, but I feel like if I used other tea leaves, it probably wouldn't have the same flavor."

Tao Zhixing laughed and said, "There is no tea in the northwest, and the tea that can be sold here is of poor quality.

Only people in rural areas know how to make tea this way. People in cities also brew tea like people in other places.

If I didn’t know Mr. Chen, I would have made tea for you.”

After thanking him, Chen Pingan asked, "Is Professor Lan here?"

He was direct and didn't intend to beat around the bush.

"I wonder if there are any new works coming out after not seeing them for a year."

Tao Zhixing laughed, "Of course there is. But she should be in the studio right now. How about I take you to see her?"

Chen Shuhui and Chen Yangyang exchanged a quick glance, "Thank you, Dean Tao. We also want to meet Sister Lan."

Tao Zhixing nodded and said, "Okay, after you finish this cup of tea, I'll take you there.

By the way, which hotel are you staying in?

I'll make some arrangements tonight and invite those who have been to your house to have dinner together, so that I can show my hospitality as a host."

Chen Pingan said: "Thank you in advance. We are at the Feitian Hotel."

After chatting for a while and finishing the pot of tea, Tao Zhixing stood up and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see Professor Lan. Her works are all hanging in the studio.

If you buy more, it can be regarded as supporting our calligraphy and painting academy."

Chen Ping'an guessed that this should be the rule of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy. After the work is sold, the author and the Calligraphy and Painting Academy should share the profits.

But that's not something he should worry about.

Several people took their coats, followed Tao Zhixing out the door, and then walked into the yard.

The studio is not in the office building, but in another building in the backyard.

These buildings are imitations of ancient times and are not particularly outstanding, but it is obvious that the lighting should be good just by looking at so many windows.

"Basically, everyone with a professional title has a studio here, and if they have any teaching tasks on weekdays, they basically do it here."

Tao Zhixing said as he walked, "Professor Lan is quite special, and his usual workload is not heavy.

If she didn't like Buddhist paintings, given her family situation, she would have gone somewhere else to enjoy herself.

However, her works are indeed the most outstanding ones in our calligraphy and painting academy.

Even in the collaboration between our Academy of Painting and Calligraphy and the Dunhuang Grottoes, she is always there, such as in the restoration of murals.”

Chen Ping'an nodded without saying anything.

Chen Xiaolong took two steps behind and pointed at Chen Pingan to the two girls.

Chen Shuhui smiled, and Chen Yangyang walked over to him and whispered in his ear, "That Professor Lan, Brother Ping'an should like her."

Chen Xiaolong opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

Who is Chen Ping'an?

There is actually a woman you like?

Tao Zhixing led them through the corridor and after turning a corner they entered the building.

Lanxiang's studio is the third door.

Tao Zhixing knocked on the door briefly, then reached out and pushed it open.

The door opened.

Lanxiang turned her head and saw that Tao Zhixing was fine, but when she saw Chen Pingan and the others walking out from behind Tao Zhixing, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Sister Lan, we're here to see you!"

Chen Shuhui said with a smile.
