Chapter 697
Unfortunately, after looking around, she realized that there was no "Mona Lisa’s Smile" here.
On the other side of the exhibition center, she found She Yimeng studying something in front of a very small sketch of a person. She was holding a magnifying glass, and Huo Jiabao was holding it in his arms. Above and below the sketch were small handwritten words, depicting a man who posed in two distinct positions that corresponded to the two sentences in the painting. The first, with his feet together and arms held out horizontally, explained the next line of the sketch: "The length of a man’s outstretched arm is equal to his height." The other folded behind him was with his legs spread out and his arms raised a little.
"Darling, what are you looking at here? What’s so good about this painting? " He Meixin who was watching from the side for a long time, could not figure out what was going on, and could not help but ask curiously.
"The Vitruvians is a sketch of a steel pencil drawn by Da Vinci in accordance with Vitruvius’s law, on a sheet of 13.5 × 9.5 inch paper. Do you know what the law of Vitruvius is? " Huojiao was at the side doing the job of a commentator.
"I don’t know." Quickly shaking her head, She Meixin once again revealed her lack of knowledge on art.
"If you spread your legs and reduce your height by a quarter, your arms stretch out and lift until the tip of your middle finger is level with the top of your head, you will find that the center of your outstretched limbs is your navel, and that there is an equilateral triangle between your legs. You see, the man in the picture who posed for this position was placed in a square, with each side of the square equal to twenty-four hands long, and the square was surrounded by a large circle with his navel as the center. The image of the man in this sketch is recognized by the world as the perfect ratio of human body to gold. " Huo Jiu’s deep voice rang in He Mei Xin’s ears. At this time, he was different from his usual arrogant and domineering self. His erudite knowledge and calmness caused He Mei Xin’s heart to uncontrollably tremble.
"I didn’t think that such a simple painting would have so many mysteries hidden inside ..." He Meixin sighed with emotion, "But, what is Darling doing with a magnifying glass?"
"This painting requires a magnifying glass in order to see the subtleties of Leonardo da Vinci’s work. One cannot fully appreciate this painting simply by using the naked eye. He was smart enough to do his homework before he left and he knew he had to take a magnifying glass with him. " Huo Jianji did not forget to praise He Yi Meng when he said this.
As the two of them spoke, the sound of a slight pair of high heels hitting the floor reached He Meixin’s ears. Following it was a familiar voice.
"Kid, can I borrow your magnifying glass?"
When She Meixin heard this, she turned around to look at the woman who had already arrived at her side. Immediately, she ... Stunned ...
"Bo..." "Aunty ..." The person who came was none other than Wu Wei’s mother, Guo Caimei. Beside her were two women with the appearance of rich and noble families.
"Beautiful, it’s you. What a coincidence." Guo Caimei probably did not expect to meet She Meixin here. Her face revealed a shocked expression as she looked at Huo Jiu who was standing next to She Meixin and He Youmeng who was being held by Huo Jiu. She suddenly smiled as if she understood something, "So it’s a family of three who are here to watch an exhibition. I’m sorry to bother you. "
You can’t blame the society, can you?
It was rare for She Meixin to bring He Yimeng out once in eight hundred years, but in the end, she was met by Wu Wei’s mother.
This misunderstanding was too big. She Meixin opened her mouth, wanting to explain that it was not what she had seen. However, she found that she could not explain it.
"Auntie, would you like to borrow a magnifying glass? "Here you are." He Meixin’s brain reacted quickly by snatching the magnifying glass from She Yunmeng’s hands and handing it over to Guo Caimei.
Guo Caimei waved her hand, "No need. Wu Wei will probably come later with a magnifying glass. "You guys continue. I’ll go over there and take a look."
Hearing that Wu Wei was coming, He Meixin was truly a little flustered. She turned around to look at He Yunmeng and Huo Jianji, only to find both of them glaring at her with the same slightly disdainful look.
"Darling, that ..." He Meixin tried her best to force a smile on her face as she looked at She Yimeng. She wanted to discuss the matter of having Huo Jiu take him to see the painting exhibition. When Wu Wei arrived, she would accompany him. However, before she could finish her sentence, She Yimeng had already understood her intentions. She gave her the word ’definitely’ with a pair of white eyes. "No!"
"Darling, you can’t do this. You have to think about Mommy’s future happiness, right?" He Meixin tried to reason with emotion.
However, how could this be effective against a little fox like He Yumeng? Will it work?
Of course not. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be a little fox.
"Mommy, have you ever heard of a happiness story?" She Yimeng was not moved by He Meixin’s words. Instead, she began teaching her thought education.
"Nope." Ye Zichen shook his head and looked at her curiously.
"They say that there’s a person who wants to pursue happiness all day long, but he doesn’t know what happiness is like. In order to pursue happiness, he had abandoned the person he loved the most, abandoned the person he loved the most, abandoned his parents and children, and abandoned his friends. Finally, alone in the presence of God, he asked why I had abandoned so much, and yet I did not feel happy. Is happiness that hard? God heard and told him that happiness in everyone’s heart is a different concept. Perhaps the happiness that you blindly pursue is not true happiness. Sometimes, what you lose is what makes you truly happy. " He Yi Meng was like a philosopher telling a story in front of He Meixin, while Huo Jiuchen, who was holding her, fell into deep thought.
"Darling, where did you see this story? Why have I never heard of it? " She Meixin carefully considered the implications of this story and felt that it made sense. Once again, she felt that her daughter was truly extraordinary.
"Of course you haven’t." He Yi Meng smiled, but didn’t say anything else. This was because she had made up this story on the spur of the moment.
"Well, you’re right, so I’m going to grab hold of my happiness and keep it from slipping away. "Darling, thank you so much for understanding Mommy and staying properly with your dad. Mommy will go with your godmother. When your godfather comes over, don’t make trouble." He Mei Xin smilingly gave a smack on her face before turning and running away.
