Wu Yanbai and Yan Hongwei, one is sixteen years old this year and the other is eighteen years old this year. Of course, it feels a little strange to suddenly call someone else's mother. However, they already knew this requirement when they became apprentices, so they naturally have to comply with it.

The half-year-old child had slightly red cheeks and was very embarrassed.

This appearance made the stunned Jiang Mowan laugh after realizing it.

"Why do you follow Su Xian and call me mom? Ah Xian has already been registered in my family's household registration book. He will be my son from now on. You two don't need to call me mom. You can just call me mistress."

She explained gently, thinking that the two of them were calling Su Xian whatever they thought, but then Wu Yanbai turned serious.

"Master, although I am not used to calling you mom yet, I will get used to it gradually. Moreover, this is included in Master's request to become a disciple, and we are both willing to do so."

It's easier to call him Master, but Wu Yanbai knew that Master didn't lack disciples at all. What he lacked were children who coaxed Master, so he called Master Mom, which was also agreed by his parents, and it was regarded as acknowledgment of a kiss. Sometimes

Becoming a disciple is more intimate than becoming a close relative.

"Yes, I am willing too. It's just that I'm not used to it at first. I'll get used to it gradually."

Yan Hongwei also hurriedly said that he also told his parents that this time it was far away and his parents did not come over. His parents gave money and asked the teacher to help prepare the six rites, so both of them were sincere at this moment.

.

When a student pays homage to a teacher, the teacher will naturally reciprocate the gift.

Before Su Xian became a disciple, Long Xiao turned his back and gave Su Xian a life card. This bank card can be used to pay five million, which can be used as daily living expenses for Su Xian. After all, according to Su Xian's character, he is usually embarrassed.

Ask them for money.

In addition, Long Xiao also gave Su Xian some of his collections and his own paintings.

As for Yan Hongwei and Wu Yanbai, they also received paintings by Long Xiao himself.

You know, now only one of Long Xiao's paintings appears for auction every year. It is highly sought after by some foreign auction houses and can be said to be worth a lot of money. Therefore, Yan Hongwei and Wu Yanbai are very happy. Yan Hongwei is still here

I live in school, so I left this painting at Long Xiao's house temporarily and couldn't bring it to school for fear of damaging it.

So many people in the school want to learn from Long Xiao. In fact, the most important reason is because everyone knows that Long Xiao is a super talented painter who has been alive for so many years and can be accepted by the foreign art world.

Since the first painting was sold at the age of 21, Long Xiao's paintings have caused turmoil in the world every year, and the prices have become higher and higher. Until this year, Long Xiao's painting "Encounter" has been auctioned for three times.

A sky-high price of 100 million! This is a truly sky-high price.

You can imagine that the value of a painting by Qi Baishi, Tang Bohu, and famous artists from various dynasties is only a few hundred million, and it has been stored for so many years, but Long Xiao is still alive! And there will always be output! His works

But it is still sought after. Even the Queen of the British royal family once participated in an auction and got Long Xiao's personal work "Flower". Such a gold content is simply not something ordinary writers can possess.

After all, the art world is so cruel. People who are truly famous only become famous after they die.

There are very few people like Long Xiao who are sought after by everyone in the art world and pursued by the rich and famous while they are still alive.

"...Okay then, I'll go get someone to prepare the meal."

As soon as Jiang Mowan heard the two children say this, she knew it was her husband's fault. She was helpless about the sudden appearance of her two eldest sons and could only accept it.

Then we sat down to eat together at noon, and Su Xian sat next to Jiang Mowan. Because of his young age, he was very favored and was given a lot of food by Jiang Mowan.

At this time, apart from Long Xiao and Jiang Mowan, there were only three disciples at home. After eating, Long Xiao took the initiative to speak.

"From today on, you are all my most valued disciples. I know that you have your own ideas in your respective styles and fields, but I want to know, do you want to be an aloof artist, or do you want to be a public figure?"

A familiar painter?"

These are two different lives. An aloof artist does not need the high value of his works. He only needs to blindly pursue his own artistic style. However, it is more difficult to be known by the public. This

They need to give money to their paintings to let everyone know that their art is valuable.

Long Xiao's reputation is not limited to painting. That's because he did not open Weibo. If he had opened Weibo, many netizens would pay attention to this painter who is still alive and sought after by Western artists and the royal family.

It must be said that the achievement of selling 300 million yuan for a painting is a super achievement both at home and abroad.

Wu Yanbai and Yan Hongwei suddenly looked serious, knowing that such a choice would affect their future development path. Su Xian, on the other hand, was still confused. He was still young, although he now had his own painting style.

, but for aloof artists and painters, there is no feeling that the two are separate for the time being...

"I want to be known by more people, and I want to be someone like you, teacher."

Yan Hongwei was the first to speak. His family conditions can only be considered ordinary. He studied painting for love, but also to leave a place in this industry. Being able to worship Long Xiao as his teacher is already the luckiest thing in Yan Hongwei's life.

If possible, he hopes that he can become a person like the teacher. Even if he cannot surpass the teacher in his life, he hopes to go further and further along the teacher's path.

"Me too, I hope to be someone like you, teacher."

Among the students at the Academy of Fine Arts today, who doesn’t want to be someone like Long Xiao? They need works, a reputation, and money. Although some so-called ‘artists’ will always attack Long Xiao’s works and deliberately try to please them.

Those rich people, that's why they are sought after by those rich people, but these are just bad words.

Which writer doesn't want his paintings to be appreciated by others? The value of a painting shows the value of the painting in everyone's mind.

You must know that Long Xiao's first painting at the age of 21 was auctioned at an auction house. The auctioneer had already said that it was the first painting by a new artist. Even so, it still sold for five million.

sky-high price.

This is enough to prove that Long Xiao's works are valuable.

Although Su Xian still didn't understand, she still hurriedly said.

"I also want to be like a father."

The tacit understanding between the three people made Jiang Mowan want to laugh. In fact, she also understood that a success like her husband's is almost impossible to copy. After all, no painter is more talented than Long Xiao, and no one is as talented as Long Xiao.

His works are even more popular among wealthy people.

It’s strange to say that ordinary people just think they are pretty when they see the paintings of my husband, but those who are rich and powerful actually like my husband’s paintings. Whenever they are auctioned, it is the rich people who compete for them.

Rushing to take pictures.

In addition, many officials also like her husband's paintings. Through this line, Jiang Mowan also met many officials' wives, so this is where Jiang Mowan feels that others cannot copy her husband.

"Oh? Are they all like this? That's fine. Now let me give you the first assignment. According to the news I got from the national art department, in half a month, the 32nd Youth Tulip Cup Competition of our country will be held.

Official opening, I hope you three can achieve good results in this competition."

Long Xiao believed in the strength of these three people. Before he could help them become famous, they had to find their own way first. This competition was the first assignment Long Xiao gave them.

"Good teacher, I will definitely work hard."

"Dad, I will work hard too."

"Teacher, I will definitely give you the best result."

The three people immediately assured that even if they were facing this Tulip Cup, they would have to face the best painting talents in the country. You must know that this Tulip Cup is held every five years and has a particularly high gold content, and it is said to be a youth tulip competition.

Cup, but in fact, all painters aged above ten and below twelve or fifteen can participate, so they are not only facing these students in the school, but also those painters who may have already made a name in society.

them.

The first assignment given by Long Xiao was very harsh.

"After the Tulip Cup is officially released, the three of you will come to my place to draw and prepare. Mo Wan will always be at home to take care of you."

Long Xiao blinked at his wife. After all, as a master's wife, she has to help her children when they compete, right?

Jiang Mowan was helpless, but had nothing to say to her husband. Instead, she thought of the tulip cup and looked forward to the future of these children even more.

This matter was settled in this way. When Wu Yanbai and Yan Hongwei went home and the other went back to the school dormitory, they were thinking deeply. After all, this competition was too important to them and it might affect the teacher's opinion of them.

As for Long Xiao, his wife Jiang Mowan pinched the soft flesh around his waist.

"You bad guy! Did you force people to call me mom? Both Yanbai and Hongwei's faces were red today, and I was also very ashamed. How could you do this?"

Isn't it strange for people to just call mom?

Long Xiao was still smiling.

"Why is it weird? Once a teacher, always a father. You are the teacher's wife, so of course you are the mother. Besides, Su Xian also called you mother, why aren't you angry? You should treat Yanbai and Hongwei equally, they

I really like you."

If you don't like it, how can you be so happy? A relationship that is only maintained by interests cannot be like this.

Young people have a pure heart and are more sincere and kind to others, so Long Xiao chooses children under the age of eighteen.

Jiang Mowan was helpless by her husband's playful smile and wanted to say that she regretted it and would never talk about wanting to have children again, otherwise she was afraid that her husband would come back with a lot of sons!

She didn't know at this time that there was another girl who was very concerned about her husband's position as apprentice.
