A thick layer of snow fell on the blue bricks and tiles of the courtyard, which was swept down by the wind from time to time, falling on the exposed skin of pedestrians, revealing a slight coolness, and quickly dispersed.

Tianwentang Museum is located in the hutong of the city center, which is different from the busy traffic of the business district, every brick and tile in the No. 6 Hutong looks antique, without the fireworks of the bustling metropolis, but has a sense of quaint age.

Private museums are non-profit social service organizations, which are inseparable from the business models of cooperation with the government, private enterprise investment or individual investment by collectors, because of the lack of a continuous and stable source of income, it is quite difficult to operate, and almost all of them are the products of collectors out of hobbies and feelings, and they are already making money without losing money.

Due to the influence of various factors, it is common for private museums to be poorly managed, so museums like Tianwentang, which have style and strength, and are thriving, are very different.

This museum does not occupy a large area, but the style is very high, and it is also well-known in Z City.

The collection in the museum is very golden, and the name of Mr. He is placed there, which is a golden signboard. On weekdays, whether it is tourists who come to visit or Tibetan friends exchange meetings held for regular members, there are many people who come and go, and from time to time, collectors who come here borrow the space to hold exhibitions.

For example, the phone call that urgently recalled He Manzhou was Mu Nan's private exhibition.

The outermost part of the Tianwentang Museum is a vermilion solid wood door, and there are two door knockers carved with the pattern of the double dragon opera on the door. The floor tiles of the bluestone slabs continue the unique antique flavor of the alley, and every detail reveals exquisiteness. The yard is planted with towering green bamboo, the bamboo leaves are scattered on the stone bricks of the bluestone slab, and the corner of the courtyard is also quite ingeniously decorated with rockery, which is quite a bit of the taste of the ancient garden.

Facing the gate is the main exhibition hall, He Manzhou has just stepped into the courtyard door, and a girl wearing a down jacket hurriedly greeted him.

"Manman, come on, Dean Shen has talked about Su Munan's exhibition, and it will be exhibited on Thursday. Among them, there are more than 20 ancient paintings alone, and I can't write the commentary, so you can take a look at how to write the introduction materials. ”

"Isn't Su Munan's exhibition scheduled to be done in Baiyulou, why was it finally talked about by Senior Brother Shen?" He Manzhou was a little puzzled, and looked around as he spoke.

Through the light moonlight, you can faintly see the interior scene through the open doors of the main exhibition hall.

Rosewood cabinets are placed at both ends of the exhibition hall, calligraphy works are hung on the walls, and some precious and small objects are placed in glass display cases according to their types. The marble floor is spliced with simple and elegant patterns, and there is no railing at the entrance of the museum to sell tickets, but a beautiful embroidered carpet is laid out, which is a bit of a joy to welcome visitors from all over the world.

And at this moment, there are a lot of new objects piled up in the courtyard, which are the exhibits sent by Su Munan.

"I'm also wondering," Luo Xixi grabbed his bangs casually, "At seven o'clock, I was watching an online drama at home, and Director Shen suddenly called me and said that I should come to the museum quickly." Mr. Su's assistant will personally send the exhibits over at eight o'clock in the evening, and I will dock them, and he didn't say anything more, so I didn't dare to ask. ”

Su Mu Nan is a well-known collector in Z City, and has made a name for himself by collecting calligraphy, paintings and inscriptions.

In addition to selling tickets and selling collections, hosting other collectors' exhibits and hosting special exhibitions are also the main ways for private museums to make money. The fame and influence of Tianwentang Museum are relatively large in Z City, and it is not uncommon for some collectors or organizers of cultural exhibitions to come to the door.

However, guests of this magnitude like Su Munan are still relatively rare. But if you can go forward, not only can Tianwentang make money, but it is also a good opportunity to increase the visibility of the museum.

At the beginning, He Manzhou did take the initiative to fight for this business, but Su Munan's exhibition this time was not to make a name for himself, but to sell the exhibits and realize it directly. When it comes to the operation and sale of cultural antiques, looking at the entire Z City, there is no institution comparable to Baiyulou, so at that time, Su Munan said that he was thinking about it, but he expressed the tendency in his heart obviously.

He Manzhou saw Su Munan's subtext, so he didn't have much hope for this matter.

Who knew that at this juncture, Su Mu Nan finally chose the Tianwentang Museum, which was indeed an unexpected surprise.

"I see, Sister Manman," Luo Xixi's gossip brain suddenly started, and he blinked with interest, "With my rich experience in the love field for many years, I will pinch my fingers and calculate, this time it is Bai Yulou who sells you favors." ”

"If you have time to think about these things and have not, it seems that you are not busy enough?" Now that everyone is here, of course He Manzhou has no intention of standing by, but this does not conflict with her deliberately angry Luo Xixi, she glanced at the little assistant angrily, "If you say one more word, Luo Xixi, I will let you see and understand, what does it mean to rely on yourself in everything and don't ask for anything from others." ”

"Don't, Manman, I was wrong, don't stand idly by. ”

"Interns need to be trained, right, experienced Luo. ”

"Sister, Sister Manman, you are my own sister...... If you leave now, you're going to kill me. ”

"No, it can't be done like that. He Manzhou's eyes turned, revealing a slightly sly light, "Next time I hear you gossip about your boss, what do you say?"

"You can do whatever you tell me to do, I will listen to you, Miss. ”

Although Luo Xixi called He Manzhou sister, in the antique industry, calling sister is the same as calling the teacher in a variety show, just the most basic honorific title. Not to mention that He Manzhou's age is not much different from Luo Xixi at all, just because she raises her eyebrows and pretends to be angry and trains people, she has no leadership frame, and she just has a quirky bad taste.

When she laughs and laughs on weekdays, no one treats her as a sister.

Seeing that Luo Xixi had confessed to her kindness, He Manzhou stopped bullying her, and immediately entered the work state.

"Have you counted all these things in the yard?"

"yes, I've done a rough sort of it. A total of 12 freehand landscapes, 8 paintings of flowers and birds, and some scattered objects, I have put them here, can you take a look at them first?"

"Su Munan is very willing to do it this time, it is all good things to take out, and he is willing to sell it?" He Manzhou flipped through it casually, smacking his tongue and sighed, "Is this not fighting for steamed buns, or is his wife short of money, what's the matter, he needs money urgently?"

"It seems that there is something wrong with the company's turnaround, who knows. Luo Xixi only knew a little about these internal situations, "But the quality of these exhibits is really high, and this exhibition is also a good thing for our Tianwentang Museum, if it weren't for Director Shen not coming back from the field, he would definitely take over this matter himself today." ”

The deputy curator is named Shen Chuanyuan, a close disciple of He Manzhou's father, and the person in charge of this private museum.

After He Lao's sudden disappearance, He Manzhou was bent on investigating his father's whereabouts, and had to take over the burden and become the director of the Tianwentang Museum. And Shen Chuanyuan resigned from the research institute and resolutely managed these businesses for the little junior sister.

He Manzhou's appreciation ability is not to be said, and he also knows all kinds of exhibits. But when dealing with business matters, she doesn't have much talent, and she is a little confused about those who are sophisticated. Therefore, most of the commercial operations of the museum are in charge of Shen Chuanyuan, if it were not for his great help, perhaps the Tianwentang Museum would not be able to support it today.

"The rivers and lakes are in emergency, our museum's year-end bonus is about to be issued. If I can't sort out the exhibits on time, I will definitely have to finish the game with Director Shen's rigorous and demanding posture. If I can't finish my job, I won't get a bonus, I'm about to pay my rent, and I'm running out of food...... Are you willing to see me starving and sleeping on the streets?"

Looking at Luo Xixi's pitiful expression blinking those eyes, He Manzhou was also very helpless.

She swept her eyes over the exhibits piled up in the yard, waved her hand and said, "Okay, you go and sort out the year-end first, and I'll look at the exhibits first." I'll write a first draft of the introduction, and I'll send it to your email later, and you can polish it again. ”

"Sister Manman, you are simply a little angel. Luo Xixi immediately sighed excitedly.

"Don't fix that useless, don't forget the milk tea you owe me. ”

For sorting out the museum's exhibits, He Manzhou is familiar with it.

Writing an introduction to the exhibits is a hard job, and the tourists who come to visit have different levels of understanding of history, and their ability to appreciate antiques is also different.

Therefore, an excellent commentary should not only allow them to understand the history behind the antique in the first time, explain the collection value of the object, but also be rigorous and elegant in expression, and there can be no deceptive elements, which really need to be dealt with by professionals.

Who knew that He Manzhou hadn't flipped through those ancient paintings yet, and Luo Xixi exclaimed again.

"Oh my God, Sister Manman, something happened. ”

He Manzhou was accustomed to Luo Xixi's fussy posture, so he just asked casually: "What's wrong?"

"I was just inspecting the east side of the exhibition hall and the blue and white porcelain vase in the corner...... There seems to be something. Luo Xixi muttered as he took He Manzhou over to look.

"It's the blue and white cloud dragon beast ear bottle that our old curator He liked the most, who is so lacking in morality, where to throw garbage is not good, can you be tired to death by walking two more steps...... The porcelain vase is more than half a person high, and it takes a lot of effort to take things out, isn't it just to increase the workload of others. ”

Hearing this, He Manzhou frowned slightly.

The porcelain vase was an object that Lao He spent a lot of money to buy in the early years, and it was placed in the main display space of the east exhibition hall, and even the daily cleaning was carried out carefully. But the museum is full of surveillance, and this blue and white porcelain vase is covered with a layer of transparent glass.

In the midst of the lightning, she suddenly thought of a terrible possibility.

"Take it out. ”
