Chapter 40: Snatching the Painting

Shanshui Gallery.

It had been a while since her last visit, and Deng Tao found a new painting displayed here.

She stood in front of the Peony and Bee Picture for a long time, admiring its vibrant brushwork, natural elegance, solid yet spirited execution, creating a harmonious interplay.

Such meticulous and rounded craftsmanship can't be achieved without a decade or two of practice, so this must be Teacher Song's new work?

Glancing down, Deng Tao noticed the signature in the lower right corner: Xiaosi!

Xiaosi?

With such a casual signature?

She then saw a familiar seal below the signature—Teacher Song's personal seal.

Deng Tao furrowed her brows. Had Teacher Song taken on a new student?

Having their own signature, and Song Qingping's personal seal to boot, it meant that apart from his student, he wouldn't do this for anyone else.
