Chapter 345: Picking up my daughter for the art exam
"Dad, do you think Xiaokai can pass the exam this time? It's been two years."
“If he fails the entrance exam, he will go to an ordinary university and give up the path of art, which shows that his fate with art has not yet arrived.
Kyoto College of Art.
Shen Mojin and Chi Jiujiu stood behind the school gate, waiting "anxiously" like many other parents.
The crowd was full of discussions, some were confident, while others looked worried.
This school is the No. 1 art college in Xiaguo. The contemporary Chinese painting master Xu graduated from here.
There is also Manet, a famous 19th century painter who was revived by Chi Jiujiu using an in vitro cultured heart in the human freezing experiment.
He has now been assigned to be a professor here.
And also became one of the art examiners this time.
“I heard that the chief examiner for the art exam this time is still 88-year-old Mr. Xu.
Rumor has it that Mr. Xu is in poor health.
He is about to die, and he still wants to find a satisfactory disciple to inherit his legacy."
"I also heard from my daughter that in addition to Mr. Xu, the famous painter who survived from the 19th century was also one of the examiners.
If our daughter is not favored by Mr. Xu, it would be good for her to be a student of this famous painter."
Surrounding Shen Mojin and his wife were middle class or above, uncles and aunts in their forties or fifties.
These people also get married later and have sufficient funds at home.
After all, he is studying art, and families without some money cannot afford the expenses of such a child.
Especially for art, better pigments are very expensive.
Chi Jiujiu and Shen Mojin, a young and good-looking couple, were seen by people around them as being there just to pick up their younger siblings for the exam.
"Big sister, what are your brothers and sisters taking the exam for this time?"
Chatting and chatting.
The rich lady next to Chi Jiujiu asked Chi Jiujiu who was wearing a mask.
"My daughter took the art exam."
Chi Jiujiu withdrew her gaze from the security guard on the iron fence of the school gate and turned to look at the aunt.
Auntie:!!!
The uncle next to the aunt asked, "Girl, do you have any beauty secrets? Please teach me. My wife is worried about this."
As soon as the uncle finished speaking, the aunt punched him.
"What are you talking about? How can you ask a girl like that?"
The aunt said to Chi Jiu embarrassedly, "My husband is like this, don't mind it, sister.
You look really young though, how old is your daughter?"
Chi Jiujiu laughed awkwardly, "My daughter just became eighteen this year."
Just as Chi Jiujiu was chatting with the couple.
Squeak...squeak...
The security guard at the door removed the cordon and then slowly opened the iron fence.
A five-meter-wide exit suddenly appeared at the gate of Kyoto Academy of Arts.
"Swish, swish, swish..." The parents all looked inside.
Everyone is looking forward to it, eagerly waiting.
Just wanting to know how the children performed in the exam, some of them had already unscrewed the bottle caps and were ready to give the children water to drink.
Man, "Xiao Kai, it's Xiao Kai coming out."
Woman, "How did you do on the test, Xiaokai?"
Son, "...Mom, I...let's go back first. I want to go to the Jiulong Temple to worship again."
Woman, "We've already prayed before the exam, um... okay, let's drive there now and pray again.
Let the Buddha see our Xiaokai's sincerity, and I guarantee he will do well in the exam this year."
Chi Jiujiu and Shen Mojin waited and waited, and saw that many parents had taken their children back home.
Her baby Ningning is still nowhere to be seen.
Shen Mojin saw that Chi Jiujiu was a little anxious, so he comforted her, "Jiujiu, don't worry, Ning'er might have been delayed by something."
Chi Jiujiu, "Okay, I'll give her a call and ask her."
Just as Chi Jiujiu was about to take out her cell phone, Gong Lening's clear and pleasant voice came from among the noisy voices beside her ears.
Gong Lening said modestly and hesitantly, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Masters. It's just that I'm a little confused about becoming your disciple..."
Old Xu said hoarsely with great seriousness: "Xiao Ning, if you follow Monet, you will only learn some fancy graffiti.
The traditional Chinese paintings of our country Xia are profound and far-reaching. "
The famous painter Manet responded: "Mr. Xu, I respect you as the father of contemporary Chinese painting.
But you can't insult my impressionist painting by comparing it to graffiti, right???
If impressionist oil painting is graffiti, then Chinese painting is substandard ink splashing.”
Chi Jiujiu and Shen Mojin looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw it on the wide avenue outside the gate of Kyoto Academy of Arts.
The tall Gong Lening was surrounded by two strangers.
On one side of her was a hunched over old man with white hair.
On the other side are Europeans dressed in British style.
Hearing what was said just now, Chi Jiujiu knew the identities of the two people.
But both Mr. Xu and Monet are vying to make Ningning their apprentice?
And the two of them are still chasing after her, it seems like they won’t let her go unless Ningning agrees?
Chi Jiujiu looked at Shen Mojin and said happily, "Ajin, our Ningning did well in the exam this time. Once she passes the cultural subjects, she will definitely be admitted to this school."
Shen Mojin's eyes fell on his graceful little daughter, and he raised his lips and replied, "If Ning'er can't pass such a simple test, then no one can pass it."
At this time, a parent nearby heard the conversation between Chi Jiujiu and others.
He glanced at Shen Mojin, then said loudly in a critical tone:
“Young parents are so arrogant and don’t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is.
I thought that because my child had some talent, he could look down on everything.
They are already parents, but they still don’t know what humility is.
The art exam of Kyoto Art College is the most difficult in Xiaguo!!!
My daughter has been learning dance and practicing for ten years, and has won more than ten awards of various sizes.
This time I came here to take the art exam, and I dare not say it was easy. "
Shen Mojin pretended to be deaf.
Waited two minutes.
Gong Lening walked towards Chi Jiujiu and the others while being besieged by Old Xu and Monet.
Gong Lening asked happily and surprised: "Dad, Mom, how come you have time to come here?"
Shen Mojin said in a low voice, "Your mother and I took some time to come here."
The purpose of Mr. Xu and Monet's coming here was to meet Gong Lening's parents and persuade them to hand over the good seedling to them.
As soon as they saw Shen Mojin and Chi Jiujiu, they couldn't wait to speak.
Elder Xu smiled and said, "Hello, Xiaoning's parents.
I am an old man with humble background, but I am the dean of the Chinese Painting Department of Kyoto Academy of Art.
I want to take your Xiao Ning as my apprentice.
Xiao Ning is extremely talented and is a rare talent in Chinese painting.
Good seedlings need to go to good places, you parents should persuade Xiao Ning to do this."
Monet said eagerly, "Le Ning has a good foundation in painting, a keen eye for color, and a unique aesthetic.
She is best suited to studying Impressionist oil painting.
So I sincerely ask you two to persuade Le Ning to learn oil painting from me."
"Hello, Mr. Xu, Master Mo." Chi Jiujiu took off her mask, "It's an honor for Ningning that you guys like her.
But we respect the child’s wishes.”
Shen Mojin asked Gong Lening softly, "Ning'er, what kind of painting do you want to learn?"
Gong Lening hesitated and said, "... Dad, I actually want to try them all."
Not just Chinese painting and oil painting, there are others too.
