Chapter 17: Du Jingxuan

Looking at the certificate issued by the hospital, Guan Yue thought of what Dr. Fang said again. I was secretly amused in my heart: "Girlfriend, I really don't know how the doctor found out, as far as the relationship between me and Xu Qing's classmates who just broke the ice, Baganzi can't fight with boyfriend and girlfriend." Besides, I have been a girl for 18 years, even if I become a boy, I will not take it lightly to like a girl, even if that girl is very good. But this time, I really owe Xu Qing a big favor. ”

Guan Yue checked the □□, rummaged through his wallet, and found that the balance was not much.

Guan Yue intended to hone himself, and the living expenses given by his grandparents did not move. The expenses these days are all the New Year's money accumulated before, and the money saved in the past is no problem to eat at school, but it is a little insufficient to invite classmates to give gifts and repay favors, especially this time I still owe Xu Qing a medical fee, it seems that I have to find a job.

"Toot toot. "The taxi stopped suddenly.

"Little handsome guy, it's the noon rush hour, and there is a traffic jam in front, so you may have to wait a little longer. ”

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. ”

There was nothing to do in the car, Guan Yue turned on his mobile phone, and walked around the job search website to see if there was a part-time job suitable for him.

One is a martial arts taekwondo gym near the school to recruit sparring partners, and the other is a family in the Tianxing community on Wushui Road looking for a sophomore English tutor. These two part-time jobs, close to the school, free time, high salary per hour, just happened to be competent for themselves, and they made an appointment for an interview right away.

turned off the phone, Guan Yue looked at the bustling Z City. It's the city center, and it's where many companies are headquartered. Grandpa's Yunhai Group is also not far from here, and I came with the old man last time, but I was in a bad mood at the time, and I didn't carefully observe the surrounding Yiqiē.

On the right side of the street is an elegantly decorated gallery, covering an area of more than an acre, with flashing neon lights and a few large seal characters on it. Guan Yue didn't know when the car was going to be blocked, so she simply got out of the car and went to the gallery to browse.

The first floor is full of Chinese paintings, mostly the works of famous contemporary painters. The second floor is filled with oil paintings, mostly by Western contemporary painters, but Guan Yue found that his father Guan Huai's works occupy a lot of weight on the second floor.

Dad's many award-winning works are actually in this gallery, and it seems that my father has a close relationship with the owner of this gallery!

After shopping on the second floor, Guan Yue wanted to see the collection on the third floor. was stopped by the security guard on the third floor.

"Sir, the works on the third floor are very old and of extraordinary value, non-members are not allowed to enter, please show your members. ”

"My first time here, I didn't know the rules here. How do I become a member?"

"Contemporary painters, or long-time gallery patrons. Or the owner's permission. ”

"I take the liberty of asking, who is the owner of this gallery?"

"The owner is a quiet person and doesn't like people to know her name, sorry. ”

"Then I don't know how I can get to the gallery owner?"

To be able to open such a large gallery in the prime area of Z City, which includes many famous paintings, the owner cannot be an unknown person. Such a low-key mystery made Guan Yue interested in the owner of this gallery. Especially since there are so many authentic works of his father here.

"If you have a good work that satisfies the owner, the owner may accept your appointment. ”

The best work, to the satisfaction of the owner, maybe an appointment?

Isn't it the same as not saying it, the initiative is on the other party, and it's not the other party's words to see or not to see. It is better to go to my father's place to find out the news than to go to the gallery owner, who is extremely difficult to meet.

After a closer walk, Guan Yue didn't plan to stay longer. It's just that when I went out, I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.

"Senior Sister Zhang Jing. ”

Zhang Jing didn't expect to meet Guan Yue here, a little surprised, and a little surprised. After a few days, the boy was a little thin.

"It's Senior Brother Guan Yue, aren't you supposed to be in military training now?"

It seems that the fight did not spread widely. It is estimated that the school also intends to block the news.

"For some reason, I probably don't need military training anymore. ”

"Congratulations to the junior. The junior brother must have been proficient in painting when he came here?"

"I just like to appreciate the masterpieces of the masters and feel the beauty of art. I don't have any proficiency in painting, just occasional graffiti, just pleasant. ”

"The junior brother is humble. I wonder if Du Jingxuan's paintings can make the younger brother feel the artistic conception of beauty?"

"The paintings collected by Du Jingxuan are all over the masterpieces of famous Chinese and foreign artists, and it is really beneficial to look at the painting techniques of each family. The ink painting on the first floor is freehand, as if a person is swimming in the landscape, immersive. When the painting style reaches the second floor, I have the illusion of traveling through time and space, feeling that I have become a pope, standing in a medieval church, and accepting the worship of the parishioners. It's just a pity that I couldn't go to the third floor to see the more valuable artworks. ”

"Senior Brother Guan Yue is here for the first time, would you like to go to the third floor with me to have a look?"

"Senior sister, are you an old patron of Du Jingxuan?" Among the well-known painters Guan Yue knew, he had never heard of Zhang Jing's name.

"Yes, I also came here today to buy a pair of authentic masterpieces and give them to an elder. Seeing that the younger brother has a lot of research on painting, I want to trouble the younger brother to refer to my opinions for me. ”

"I think the senior sister has already made a decision, but thank you for the kindness of the senior sister for introducing me. ”

"It's true that I'm introducing you, but I really haven't made a decision. I fell in love with two paintings, but I couldn't pay attention to them. ”

"Oh? ”

"One is a picture of the eight immortals wishing their birthdays, and the other is a pine crane prolonging the year, what do you think Senior Brother Guan Yue should do?"

"The meaning of these two paintings is good, as far as I know, the Eight Immortals Birthday Picture is included in the museum, and the folk ones are all imitations of later generations. ”

"Well, Senior Brother Guan Yue has learned a lot. However, this high imitation is also the last pair in the market. ”

"Although there is only one picture of the Eight Immortals on the market, the price is slightly more expensive than the Song Crane in the Ming Dynasty. But personally, I think the real thing is better than the high imitation, and it can show sincerity more. ”

"What the junior brother said is reasonable, then I will pick Songhe to prolong his life. ”

With Zhang Jing's recommendation, the waiters in the gallery quickly gave Guan Yue a good membership, and Zhang Jing also picked out a gift. It's just that Guan Yue discovered a strange thing, the waiter didn't charge Zhang Jing when he handed over the painting to Zhang Jing. It is impossible for a waiter to make a low-level mistake, and Zhang Jing can become a member of this gallery, just a pair of genuine handiwork worth tens of thousands of dollars as a gift, and her family background is almost the same, and there will be no reason to take credit.

It seems that Zhang Jing also has a lot to do with the owner of this gallery.

"Let's go, junior. Let's go to the third floor and have a look. ”

"Hmm. The senior sister is a member of this Dujing Xuan. I think you're familiar with this owner, right?"

"yes, that's familiar. Zhang Jing has a faint self-deprecation, I am afraid that she is the most familiar stranger in the world.

Seeing that Zhang Jing stopped after saying a word, her expression was lonely, and Guan Yue didn't ask any more. Just talking about these famous paintings with Zhang Jing, for a while, they also chatted quite speculatively, and the relationship became a lot closer.

"Guan Yue, I have a lot of relationship with the boss of Du Jingxuan, as far as I know, in the next month 15, Du Jingxuan at the call of the Department of Education, will hold a calligraphy and painting competition for young college students in Z City, please evaluate the seniors in the art world, the winner will be awarded a certificate and a generous bonus, if you are interested, you can sign up for a try. ”

"I'm not interested in fame, but I'm excited by the generous prize money!

"Poof, this activity is to dig out and cultivate promising young painters, many young people are more eager to become famous in this competition, you are good, but just to rush for the bonus, I have always regarded you as an elegant gentleman, it turned out to be eye-catching. Zhang Jing teased.

"Actually, I'm just a layman, and elegance is just an appearance. Everyone in the world is burdened by fame, and looking at the current well-known painters, in order to compete for and maintain their reputation, they have lost a heart that is purely for the sake of art, and it is difficult to have that kind of good works that have been handed down to the world. Now this is an economic, social, material society, not a good era for artistic creation, I am in it, naturally can not avoid vulgarity, a qiē action, natural utilitarianism is the top. ”

"You take your profit-seeking behavior for granted!" Huang Zongxi of the Ming Dynasty said that the world is crowded, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit. How can the ancients not follow the name of the sages!"

"You're really good at arguing!"

"Actually, Sister Jing, you must want to say in your heart that I am so clever!"

Zhang Jing glanced at Guan Yue, and said in her heart, you understand.

"The first prize money in this competition is 50,000 yuan, I wonder if it may make you moved?"

"Fifty thousand, you can also buy a Hummer tire, it's worth a try. Guan Yue is serious.

"You're very confident, aren't you afraid of people outside, and you'll go home empty-handed. ”

"Although I don't dare to say that my painting skills are better than my peers, I don't want to do anything to grow the ambition of others and destroy my own prestige. Guan Yue said confidently.

"Then I wish you a successful start in advance. Zhang Jing smiled.

"I borrowed Sister Jing's auspicious words. When I win the prize, I will naturally invite Sister Jing to go to the dynasty for a big dinner. ”

"Invite me to the Imperial Dynasty for a big dinner? Then your Hummer wheels won't be on the ground, don't feel distressed when the time comes!"

"How can it! Inviting others to eat may be distressing, but inviting Sister Jing to dinner will definitely not. As long as Sister Jing, don't just try to keep your slim figure when you arrive!"

"Hehe, you guy, you're going to be poor. ”……

The two chatted happily, and a young man in a straight suit came over and nodded to Guan Yue, and the man said respectfully to Zhang Jing: "Miss, madam, please go up." ”

"Since Sister Jing has something, I won't bother. During this trip to Du Jingxuan, Guan Yue appreciated the superb works of her predecessors in the painting world, and got the news of holding a youth painting competition, so she felt that the trip was worthwhile. With a membership card, I will have the opportunity to slowly explore the bottom of the owner of Dujing Xuan in the future.

"Well, be careful on your way. ”
