Chapter 40: Sit and Talk

At the beginning, when she was on Fallen Street, Zixuan heard very clearly that the stall owner had obtained the painting through Lin Junjie's students, and "Flaming Red Lips" was one of the works.

Since Lin Junjie is not the reincarnated Lu Wei, then Lu Wei can only be the person next to him - either as a colleague or as a student......

As soon as she thought of this, Zixuan licked her lips lightly, and felt more and more dry in her mouth.

The water dispenser in the office is normal, with the lights on, providing both cold and cold drinking water. But Lin Junjie wanted to take cold water to boil tea, so she had to wait patiently.

Zixuan guessed that there should be both teachers of Chinese painting and oil painting in this office.

Looking around, there are two paintings hanging on the walls on either side of the office entrance.

In the center of the right wall hangs an oil painting, which is the famous Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece "Mona Lisa Smile". The painting is not a print, but an imitation. If Zixuan was asked to distinguish the authenticity, she would consciously not be able to distinguish it. The work seems to be as vivid as the original, and the mysterious smile is enough to make people feel indifferent, or gentle, or serious, or sad, or teasing...... It's just that "Mona Lisa's Smile" is one of the three treasures of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France - Zixuan has seen Leonardo da Vinci's original work in the museum, and this one will naturally not be genuine.

In fact, there is a small line of signatures in the lower left corner of the oil painting, which are as thin as mosquitoes and flies, and are cleverly hidden in faint shadows, but with Zixuan's eyesight, they can naturally be seen clearly. The signature is not in English, but in cursive, Zixuan is not sure, and vaguely speculates that it seems to be the word "Haoran".

On the left wall hangs an ink landscape painting "Spring". The paintings are both white and fine, and with a unique and poetic brush, they present a vibrant and energetic spring picture.

In the eye, the mountains and rivers are dense, the river surface is like a pool of spring water, sparkling; warblers compete for warm trees, willow branches sway in the wind, and the tender buds are newly spitted; tourists go out together to carry each other, and it seems to be very lively. The painting combines many images into a set of shots, condensed in square inches, and the natural scenery and the activities of the people complement each other, making people feel immersed.

In addition, on the other two walls of the office, there is a couplet on the top and bottom of the couplet, which is the famous saying of Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period of China: If you are not indifferent, you will not have a clear ambition, and if you are not quiet, you will not go far. Ma Zhiyuan's handwriting.

These words are domineering and leaky, and their sense of presence is not inferior to the previous two.

Judging from the signatures and seals of the paintings and calligraphy works, these are not the works of Lin Junjie. It seems that it is very likely that it is the work of the other three teachers.

Zi Xuan smiled secretly in her heart, all artists will have unique preferences, judging from the layout of this office, these three people may be the same as Lin Junjie, they should also be wonderful people.

Lin Junjie is obviously a person in the tea ceremony. It didn't take long for him to reach the stage of pouring the glass.

For the tea ceremony, Zixuan has not actually studied it in depth. But there are more socials in the shopping mall, and she naturally knows that the traditional Chinese tea ceremony process is roughly divided into thirteen, which are warm pots, hot cups, tea filling, high flushing, covering foam, topping, tea washing, cup washing, cup sharing, low pouring, serving tea, smelling incense, and tasting tea.

Lin Junjie poured the tea soup into the fragrant cup, which was seven points full, and then, he picked up the cup with both hands and handed it to Zixuan-

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting!"

"Teacher Lin is polite!" Zixuan took the tea, poured the tea soup into the teacup, sniffed the tea, and showed an intoxicated look on her face.

"Good tea!" she praised.

Zixuan actually had a dry mouth a long time ago, but she still held back and drank the red tea soup slowly.

"Darjeeling?" Zi Xuan couldn't help but say.

Lin Junjie was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Miss Bai is a master, and she drank it out at once." He didn't explicitly say that it was Darjeeling before, and he had some thoughts in his heart, but he didn't expect her to taste it in one bite.

Darjeeling belongs to the black tea category, and many people regard it as the best of black teas. It is said to grow in the Himalayas and is probably the highest tea leaf in the world.

"Where? let Teacher Lin smile!" Zixuan smiled, "Actually, a friend gave me some some time ago, and I've been drinking this kind of tea recently, so I'm more familiar with it! ”

"Miss Bai is too modest. Lin Junjie said with a smile, "It's just that when I was studying in the UK, I was influenced by a classmate, and I got used to making tea with him there, and I didn't change it after I returned to China......."

"Oh, it's really rare to be able to make tea like this in a foreign country. ”

"Yes!" Lin Junjie seemed to feel a lot, raised the small teacup in his hand and said, "Maybe it's a cultural difference, the British regard tea as a drink, and they come to drink, so the perfect tea soup is the most important." And we in Huaxia attach great importance to the process of making tea, and every procedure is a kind of creation and accentuation of the final tea taste. ”

"It's true, different thoughts, different attitudes towards tea. ”

Zixuan thought for a moment, nodded, and then said playfully, "That friend of yours should have the same love as you, right?"

"He's more interested than I am!" Lin Junjie said with a smile, "His family has been dealing with tea for generations, and now he is a tea dealer himself." He gave me this Darjeeling. ”

"Oh, that's no wonder!" Zixuan smiled with a little smile.

The two tasted tea and chatted about tea, and the relationship became a lot closer.

After chatting for a long time, Lin Junjie remembered the purpose of Zixuan's trip, so he took the initiative to mention it.

The conversation between the two finally turned to painting.

"In September this year, the Jinling branch of our Qianqiu Group will be established for the 5th anniversary, and I would like to take this opportunity to have an anniversary. We should need a huge oil painting and a commemorative album. Zixuan said eloquently.

"Oh, that's no problem. I've done a similar business before. ”

"Of course, there may be a lot of things, if Mr. Lin is too busy, you can ask a friend to help. Zixuan smiled.

"That's natural. Lin Junjie nodded, and continued, "However, your company should have a person in charge of this matter." I'm flattered that you came to tell me about this little thing in person!"

Zi Xuan sighed secretly in her heart, Lin Junjie's words were really direct enough, and it seemed that he still had doubts.

But she still looked as usual, and said with a smile, "Of course, there is a special responsibility, but the branch manager Wen is on leave due to illness, and I happen to be in Jinling these days, and I happened to see a few old friends by the way, so I came over to talk about it myself." ”

"Oh, I see. Lin Junjie suddenly said, "In that case, let's talk about cooperation by the way?"

"Absolutely. Zixuan smiled, "However, I would like to take the liberty of asking, how much do you know about the culture of our Qianqiu Group?"
