Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 42 A Thousand Hamlets

The serialization of "The Lonely Gourmet" is currently only an idea of ​​Higashino Division.

So even if you really want to contribute, Higashino Division has to re-plan the time and discuss it with Hosokawa Koharu.

He put aside the serialization of "The Lonely Gourmet" and walked back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.

It took more than ten minutes for Higashino to re-enter the exhibition hall.

Looking at the female students from Beiyi School who were discussing in a low voice in the exhibition, Higashino looked around, and then saw the figure of Konoe Lianghua in front of a picture.

At this time, Konoe Lianghua was holding the sketchbook, with his head raised halfway, and his eyes were confused looking at the oil painting in front of him.

"Student Konoe, what are you doing?"

Higashino simply walked over to say hello.

"Huh? Ah, I don't quite understand the meaning of this painting."

Konoe Lianghua turned his head sideways, saw that it was Higashinoji, and explained in a low voice.

After saying this, Konoe Lianghua lowered her head, feeling a little puzzled in her heart.

what happened?Obviously, I was always trembling when facing Dong Yesi before, but why am I not afraid of him at all now?

She was unfamiliar with her own changes, so she instinctively took two steps back, and then heard Higashinoji's voice: "Don't understand the meaning in the painting? Let me see."

Hearing these words, Konoe Lianghua looked up curiously.

She really couldn't understand the meaning of the oil painting in front of her.

If it was Higashinoji, he should be able to understand the meaning of this oil painting, right?

Konoe Lianghua has inexplicable confidence in Higashino Division.

The painting in front of her is called "Flowers".

It is an abstract oil painting from Musashino Art University.

The other party chose the abstract painting method to make a rough composition. The whole painting is toned blue, and large pieces of blue-black blocks and light yellow blocks are left on the canvas. Looking at it with my eyes, I can't see the shape of the flowers at all.

And this is what Konoe Lianghua doesn't understand.

She glanced at the painting in confusion, and then at Higashinosi curiously, her big watery eyes looked forward to it.

Higashinoji's level is so high, he must be able to give her a reasonable explanation, right?

In her expectant eyes, Higashinosi stared at this abstract painting named "Flowers", nodded his head loudly, and muttered to himself: "Not bad, it's still a little level."

"Has Mr. Higashino noticed it?" Konoe Lianghua couldn't help asking.

She also became very interested in the topic of painting. If it wasn't for painting, she would have stood next to Dong Yesi without speaking for a whole day.

And since Higashinoji spoke now, it means that he must have drawn some conclusions from this abstract painting, right?

Of course Konoe Suzuka wanted to ask!

But this sentence was only asked for two seconds, and she was dumbfounded by Dong Yesi's answer.

"Ah? See it? See what?"

Dong Yesi glanced at her, and asked a question without understanding.

"Hey? That's the meaning of the oil painting, didn't Mr. Higashino see it?"

Konoe Lianghua couldn't raise his weak voice, so he could only ask him softly.

Hearing this, Dong Yesi laughed out loud, and then waved his hand:

"No, it's so easy to see the taste and meaning of abstract paintings? And maybe the person who drew this painting also drew his brain after emptying his mind?"

"is it?"

Konoe Lianghua blinked his eyes in confusion: "Then Higashino, you said that the author of this painting is quite capable?"

"I came to this conclusion based on the expressiveness of the other party's brushstrokes and colors."

Higashino shook his head with a smile.

Is abstract painting so easy to understand?

This thing is like doing reading comprehension' Through this passage, what kind of thoughts and feelings are expressed by the author? 'As in, there is no standard answer.

Just like there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, Higashinoji's understanding of this painting does not necessarily mean others' understanding of this painting.

Higashinoji may think it is like this, but it is like that in the eyes of others. The so-called abstract painting is probably the same.

"However, the level of the author of this painting is not bad. It's so interesting." Higashinoji said to Konoe Lianghua with a smile.

Is the painting level okay?

Konoe Liangka turned her head blankly to look at the work in front of her called "Flowers".

She couldn't see anything, just a bunch of meaningless distorted blocks of color that didn't make any sense at all.

Konoe Lianghua scratched her head, then looked sideways at Higashinoji, and asked curiously:

"Then how does the author of this painting compare with Mr. Higashino?"

Hearing Konoe Lianghua's question, Higashino was taken aback for a moment, and put down the hand that pinched his chin, and then showed a smile:

"Compare with me?"

He stretched out his hand, overlapping his thumb and index finger, making a 'little bit' gesture:

"Then I guess it's a little better than her."

"Yes, is it?"

Hearing Higashinoji's words, Konoe Suzuka carefully glanced at the author's name under the title of "Flowers".

Author's name: Heomiya Mingsa, it looks like a girl's name.

And the school she attended - a second-year student at Musashino Art University in Tokyo.

Musashino Art University

Konoe Lianghua shrank her neck.

One of the five major art schools in Tokyo, representing the highest art school in Japan.

Because Beiyijuku has a cooperative relationship with Musashino Art University, outstanding college students who graduated from Musashino often come to Beiyijuku to give lectures on university life and painting skills.

That was a height Konoe Lianghua could not imagine, and it was also the university she dreamed of entering.

But Higashinoji said that he is a little bit higher than this Musashino art college student

Konoe Lianghua was a little confused.

So Konoe Lianghua couldn't help being distracted when looking at the artworks on this exhibition next time.

Until the library closed at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, Okano Ryoko gathered all the students together, announced the end of today's folklore gathering, and disbanded on the spot.

"Student Jinwei, are you still not going back?"

Looking at Konoe Lianghua who was still in a daze, Dongyesi approached and said hello: "It's already past five o'clock, parents won't worry?"

"Huh? Oh, it's okay." Konoe Lianghua came back from a trance, and replied subconsciously: "I live alone."

"Really?" Dongyesi took another look at Konoe Lianghua.

He didn't expect this little girl to live alone in Tokyo.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, that"

Konoe Lianghua obviously realized that she had said the wrong thing. After all, living alone is a very private matter. She just told Dongyesi in a daze, which made her a little flustered.

"Don't worry, Konoe-san, I won't tell anyone else."

Higashino Division laughed and said haha, thinking that Konoe Lianghua's family situation must be quite complicated.

Otherwise, how could Konoe Lianghua's parents let her, a little girl, live alone?

"Well, thank you." Konoe Lianghua nodded slightly, hesitated for a while, and then said hello: "I'll see you at school. Higashino-san."

"Well. See you at school."

Higashino waved his hands with a smile and watched her leave.

　Thank you for my thoughts, so I am in 233, Love Mushroom v Mushroom Sauce, aseyxg, Apostle of Glory, Huazai Rende, Leyu, Let Me Touch the Dog's Head, Luanchenni, Luo Xiuli for their rewards!Thank you so much!
