After the ceremony, it was a group photo, Zhang Kun, Qi Xiangyang, and Yao Zhiping's portrait alone, and then all the other guests took a photo together, which was considered a souvenir.

After the group photo, it was the banquet, there was just one table, everyone was crowded into one table, fifteen people, although it was a little crowded, but fortunately, the table was big enough, and it was enough to sit down.

During the banquet, the atmosphere was warm but not noisy, everyone laughed and laughed, drank and had fun, even Wen Zhiming, who had not laughed much, drank a lot, and Zhang Kun, who does not drink alcohol on weekdays, was also poured several glasses after repeatedly refusing.

However, although Zhang Kun doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, his physical fitness is there, and the amount of alcohol is acceptable, at least not after two or three glasses, although his face is red, but he is not drunk.

As for Qi Xiangyang, he is one of the protagonists today, so he has been poured a few more cups. But don't look at Xiang Yang's age of about twenty, the amount of alcohol is not small, and after drinking a pound of wine, his face remains unchanged and he looks calm.

Everyone chatted while eating, and ate for more than an hour, and then the aunt of the cook and the cleaning aunt cleaned up the aftermath, while Zhang Kun accompanied everyone to drink tea and chat to eliminate alcohol.

An hour later, feeling that it was almost time, Tang Xinhua and Jiao Guoan got up to say goodbye, they are mostly busy on weekdays, and there are still a lot of things in the company, it is still early, and they have to work for a while in the afternoon.

Zhang Kun got up, sent the two of them to the door, thanked the two of them at the gate for coming today, and then sent a return gift, wrapped in a big red gift box, and I don't know what it is.

The so-called courtesy is not to treat others politely, and when accepting the kindness of others, you should also reciprocate the same courtesy. Well, there are contacts that are called exchanges.

For Zhang Kun's return gift, Tang Xinhua and Jiao Guoan did not refuse, accepted it with a smile, and then said goodbye, there was their driver outside, but they didn't have to worry about drunk driving or anything.

After sending Tang Xinhua and Jiao Guoan, Zhang Kun just returned to the side hall, but Wen Zhiming was also ready to leave first.

This is a big name in the archaeological identification industry, and the most important thing is that it is an elder who has competed with Yao Zhiping for a lifetime, Zhang Kun hurriedly greeted Qi Xiangyang, and then together, respectfully sent Wen Zhiming out of the door, and also attached a return gift.

Holding the return gift of the big red gift box, Wen Zhiming just took two steps, and suddenly paused again, and seemed to hesitate for a while, but finally turned his head and looked at Zhang Kun and then Qi Xiangyang.

Wen Zhiming pondered for a while, and then said lightly: "If you have time in the future, Zhang Kun, you can also come to me with Xiangyang to sit there." Archaeology is a broad and profound discipline, and it is not possible to do it behind closed doors, so you must communicate more in order to better improve your academic ability. ”

"I am sure of Yao Zhiping's professional knowledge, the first person in the field of archaeological identification in China. However, the so-called art industry has a specialization, and I don't dare to say anything else, but I am not much better than your teacher in the Shang and Zhou bronzes, but the direction of our study is different. ”

"And your teacher is looking for a wide and complete, in the field of archaeology, basically all categories of your teacher have studied, and I seek to be refined and deep, although other categories are also involved, but the main research is Shang and Zhou bronzes. ”

"So, if you have any questions about Shang and Zhou bronzes, you can come to me to communicate. ”

After speaking, Wen Zhiming looked at Zhang Kun as if his eyes were stunned, and he didn't know why a smile flashed in his heart, but his face was still so plain.

Just before leaving at the end, he said four words: "I'm looking forward to it!"

Looking at Wen Zhiming's back gradually moving away, Zhang Kun sent Qi Xiangyang back to the middle hall first, and then turned his head to look at Yao Zhiping floating next to him in a slight daze: "Didn't you say that Wen Zhiming is your biggest opponent in life?" He is not very stingy, careful, short-tempered, and cold...... Are you sure you're talking about this person?"

Yao Zhiping's face was silent for a while, and then showed a wry smile: "I also want to say if I recognized the wrong person, but ......." ”

Perhaps, this is what is often said to be the greatest death of man. ”

"This old boy, when I was alive, I didn't let me do anything, and now that I'm dead, I recognize my identity as the first person in China's archaeological identification. ”

"In the end, I lost, at least, that guy outlived me. ”

Listening to Yao Zhiping's slightly complaining thoughts, Zhang Kun pursed his lips and didn't say anything, and then turned around and went back to the courtyard, where there were still guests.

And Yao Zhiping was still floating in the air at the gate of the courtyard, looking at it from a distance, and he couldn't see the direction where Wen Zhiming left.

"You old boy, if you win, you will win, but since you have won, then live a little longer, and live a hundred and eighty, but don't come to me too early, or I will dislike you." ”

"Old boy....... ”

Zhang Kun returned to the side hall of the middle hall of the courtyard, at this time only Qi Pengfei's family was left in the room, and Hou Baoguo, at this time, seeing Zhang Kun coming back, Hou Baoguo also got up and prepared to leave.

Zhang Kun was busy preparing to send Hou Baoguo out of the gate, and at the same time attached a return gift, a gift box wrapped in red paper, long, about one meter more, boxy.

After receiving the return gift, Hou Baoguo did not leave like the others, but took a long gift box like a long column, hesitated for a while, and then said softly: "Can I open it?"

Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth moved slightly: "Eh, why don't you go back and look at it? Open the gift in front of the giver, it's not good." ”

Hou Baoguo looked at Zhang Kun quietly: "I just want to take a look." ”

Zhang Kun looked at Hou Baoguo's eyes, calm and persistent, and in the end, Zhang Kun smiled bitterly: "Okay, even if I say I can't, you will tear it down." ”

Hou Baoguo nodded without objection, then carefully took the gift box, and then opened the big red paper on it, revealing an antique painting tube inside, Hou Baoguo's subordinates were even more cautious, and then disassembled the painting tube and took out a rolled picture scroll inside.

Hou Baoguo glanced at Zhang Kun, then put the painting tube aside, and then gently opened the scroll, and suddenly a landscape painting scroll appeared in front of Hou Baoguo's eyes.

There are landscapes and forests on the picture scroll, wooden houses and bridges, three donkeys on the bridge, two travelers carry burdens, carry baskets and follow, several simple thatched huts in the middle view village, during which there are travelers who unload their burdens and inquire, there are shops that entertain guests, there are children who sit and play idly, and there are small dogs guarding the head of the village.

The style of painting is a combination of hook and dyeing, dry and wet blending, the center side pen is used together, the roundness is alternating with vigor and strength, and the methods are diverse, including axe splitting, draping, and ideas, and the point leaves are rich, and there are methods of clipping leaves, point leaves, and accumulating needles, showing rich changes and very skillful skills.

Finally, Hou Baoguo's eyes slowly fixed on the seal at the bottom of the scroll...... Wear it in.
