It was very common for the women or children at home to present their talents at this kind of appreciation banquet.
This was especially true for families like the Guos, whose status among the aristocratic families in Haicheng was regarded as average.
If he could let Guo Lin make a name for herself in high society, it would be a good way to bring the family to a higher level.
It would be even better if there was a higher-class family that took a fancy to their own child. There were many people who used marriage to elevate their families.
Guo Lin had always been trained to have all kinds of talents in order to have a chance to shine as soon as possible.
The banquet today was a good opportunity.
Guo Lin gracefully walked up to the banquet stage and directed a few servants to carry her painting up.
It was an oil painting of the vast universe and all kinds of strange high-tech buildings. In the middle of the buildings, there were spaceships in motion.
The crowd gasped in admiration. The artistic and technical aspects of this painting were extremely skilled.
“If this painting was drawn by your sister, then she should learn how to draw properly from the best,” En Cai praised. “With this level of talent, she’s good enough to be Master Sihan’s disciple.”
En Cai had seen many works under Sihan. There were countless people who wanted to be Sihan’s apprentice every year, and the works sent from all over the world could fill several warehouses.
On the one hand, Sihan’s students had to have a solid foundation in painting, and on the other hand, they had to have a strong foundation in creation.
Although the painting in front of him was a little rusty, the overall composition and imagination were quite powerful.
“It’s hard to imagine that a person with such a strong imagination and expressiveness of painting would lack basic skills.” En Cai shook his head. “It seems that she is really talented.”
Guo Miao looked at the painting and frowned.
This painting was not Guo Lin’s original work, or rather, it was incomplete.
The lines of this painting were something she had drawn casually and put on the table a few days ago.
It was none other than the capital of the Empire.
During the time of the Empire, besides doing research and inventing, Guo Miao’s favorite hobby was painting.
Although her paintings were all realistic, the color and composition were unique and had even set off a frenzied collection trend in the Empire.
Guo Lin’s painting was just a sketch that was repainted and simply colored. How did it become her work?
“I also think so.” Guo Miao nodded in agreement with En Cai. “But, En Cai, have you ever thought of the possibility that the structure and content of this painting are all copied, and the color on it is her own painting?”
As soon as he said that, En Cai seemed to have suddenly understood something. He smacked his head and said, “That’s possible. After all, if you want to draw a composition like this, how can your drawing foundation be weak?”
“You didn’t draw the lines of this painting, did you?” Guo Miao said as she looked at Guo Lin.
Everyone’s eyes shot over.
Those who were eating also stopped what they were doing and looked over.
If they didn’t see wrongly, was Guo Miao actually exposing Guo Lin?
This kind of feud between sisters was interesting. If the two of them fought on such an occasion, wouldn’t it indicate that there was a problem with their acknowledgment of Guo Miao?
The crowd watched as Guo Miao walked up to Guo Lin like they were watching a show.
“You took the sketches from my room, didn’t you, Guo Lin?”
Guo Lin’s face was red with anger, and her voice was a little louder as she said, “Guo Miao, what do you mean? Do you mean that I didn’t draw it myself but used your painting instead?”
“Isn’t that so?” Guo Miao looked at her calmly. “You didn’t just enter my room to take the manuscript, did you? You must have done something else.”
Guo Lin knew that Guo Miao was talking about the dress, and her face turned red, but she still insisted, “This painting is my original work. If you don’t think so, show me the evidence.”
Guo Lin was certain that Guo Miao would not produce any evidence.
At this time, En Cai walked over and said to Guo Lin, “Miss Guo, have you heard of Mr. Sihan?”
Of course, Guo Lin had heard of Sihan’s name. After all, he was a world-famous artist.
“What do you mean?”
“I’m En Cai, Sihan’s disciple. Your painting skills are incredible. I want to recommend you to my master.”
His tone was very sincere, and everyone was shocked.
