Chapter 117: Elder Sun's Promise
"Old Sun, I still have a request, I don't know if you can agree."
After basically deciding on it, Man Jun hesitated for a while and said: "If our museum acquires this Yongle Canon, I hope that the purchase price will not be announced to the public, and you know, I missed a bit of a big deal."
"I can agree to this condition, so let's communicate with Director Qian now" Sun Lianda still appreciates the mentality of the Manchu army, and can understand the truth that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the road of the Manchu army will be better and better in the future. 》。 》
"Xiaoman, Curator Qian said that he agreed in principle to this matter, I don't think there is any problem"
Regarding the ownership of this Yongle version of the Yongle Canon, Sun Lianda attached great importance to it, for fear that someone else would buy it first, so he called the current director of the Jinling Museum in front of everyone and told him the ins and outs of the matter.
As a well-known expert in China and the former leader of the museum, Sun Lianda's words are undoubtedly very useful, hearing that it is the Yongle version of the authentic work, Director Qian agreed on the phone, and held a meeting on Monday to determine the use of special funds.
"Old Sun, that's great, thank you so much"
Hearing Sun Lianda's words, the Manchu army had been hanging in his throat before letting go, when Sun Lianda asked him to donate this Yongle ceremony, the Manchu army was really afraid that Sun Lao would turn his Yongle canon into the past.
"It's not you who thank me, it's me who wants to thank you."
Sun Lianda smiled and shook his head, he knew that he only spent two million to buy the Yongle version of the Yongle Grand Canon, this price was really a little low, and the Manchu army was able to sell it so happily, how much it was because of his own face.
Sun Lianda thought for a moment, and then said, "Xiaoman." If there is anything you can't get in the future, you can bring it to me and show it."
After thinking about it, Sun Lianda didn't expect that he would have anything to repay the Manchu army. But he is a person who doesn't like to owe favors, so he can only make an exception to help the Manchurian army in his professional field. This is also the biggest promise that Sun Lianda can make.
"Ah Sun Lao, that's too much trouble for you"
Hearing Sun Lianda's words, Man Jun only felt a hot current filling his heart, he really didn't expect that he could sell this Yongle Ceremony by himself in exchange for a promise that Sun Lao was so hard to buy.
In fact, the Manchu army decided to sell this Yongle Dictionary to the Jinling Museum, Sun Lianda's face was only one aspect, and on the other hand, the Manchu army was afraid that the water would overflow. He picked up such a big leak, and he would definitely be jealous of many people.
If he sells it at a high price with great fanfare, then when the Manchu Army does business in the industry in the future, I am afraid that many people will be embarrassed for him intentionally or unintentionally because of the jealousy in their hearts, which is why he proposed to Sun Lao not to announce the purchase price of the museum.
Another point is that the price of two million does not seem to be high, but it can be really held by the Manchu army after removing taxes, and compared with the many expenses to be spent on the auction and the envy of others, these two million will undoubtedly be more realistic.
"Before, it may have been a bit narrow-minded. In fact, the antique business can also play a role in the protection of cultural relics in a certain way."
Sun Lianda waved his hand, he had never been in contact with antique dealers before. After getting along with the Manchu army during this time, it was found that antique dealers are not mercenary people, and they are often able to stand firm in the face of major rights and wrongs.
"By the way, Xiaoman, this book will be left in the museum," Sun Lianda pointed to the restored Yongle Canon on the table and said.
"No problem, I'll take it back and be scared" The Manjun agreed as soon as he could, in the identities of Sun Lianda, Yu Xuan and Zhao Hongtao. Naturally, he would not be greedy for such a book.
"Alright, that's all for now."
Busy afternoon. Sun Lianda also felt tired, and said at the moment: "Lao Yu." It's not easy for you to come to Jinling, I'll treat you in the evening, let's have a good drink, according to me, don't go to any restaurant, just go to Xiaoman's house, let Fang Yi cook and cook for you to taste."
"Oh, Xiao Fang still has this craft" Yu Xuan looked at Fang Yi with some surprise, and said: "Xiao Fang, my old brother is a gourmet, he can recommend you to cook, it can be seen that you must have some unique skills"
"Yu Lao, where is there any unique work, I have been cooking and eating by myself since I was a child, and I am just familiar with it"
Fang Yi smiled when he heard this, he and his master are both cultivators, and their six senses are much more sensitive than ordinary people, although the ingredients are scarce, they are very particular about the taste of the food, and it is not uncommon for them to be able to cook good dishes.
"Xiao Fang, the word familiar with the hand, I know that it is easier said than done, the phrase in the oil seller, isn't it that I have no other, only the hand is familiar?"
Hearing Fang Yi's words, Yu Xuan extended an ancient text, and people like them who are well-versed in the past and the present can casually say a lot of allusions, which makes Bai Chuxia on the side listen to it with relish.
"Lao Yu, this meal can't be eaten in vain" Listening to the conversation between the two, Sun Lianda looked at Yu Xuan with a smile.
"Brother, I'm just doing this kind of craftsmanship, you have to calculate."
Seeing the meaningful smile on Sun Lianda's face, Yu Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll live in Jinling for a while, as for how much Xiao Fang can learn, it's up to him."
The inheritance of the antique shop, and the previous sects on the rivers and lakes are clearly different, stealing teachers to learn art in the antique shop is a very common thing, far from it, that is, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were many antique shop shopkeepers, all of whom grew up from errand boys.
At the beginning, these young men were not taught any knowledge about antiques, but they all relied on their usual careful observation and eavesdropping on the shopkeeper's comments on the objects, and they kept it in mind bit by bit, of course, there were lucky ones who were accepted as apprentices by the shopkeeper and gradually grew up.
"Thank you, Yu Lao" Fang Yi is such a smart character, as soon as he heard the conversation between the teacher and Yu Xuan, he immediately understood, this is the teacher who asked Yu Xuan to guide himself in the future, and hurriedly thanked him.
"Don't thank me, I also see that your kid is pleasing to the eye" Yu Xuan smiled: "But if the dishes you make don't suit my taste, this good thing will be gone."
"Old Yu, don't worry, Fang Yi's dishes are a must"
Man Jun helped Fang Yi boast on the side, "Don't hide it from Yu Lao, I am a person in the restaurant every day, after eating Fang Yi's cooked dishes, I don't want to go to the restaurant anymore, you can look at it at night."
"Okay, then let's go over, Hong Tao, you lock this book in the warehouse first" Sun Lianda clapped his hands and stood up, after five or six years of retirement, he rarely repaired the cultural relics by himself, and the smell of the potion in the restoration room was really not very good.
"Early summer, are you going to eat with us, or go back first" After walking out of the museum, Yu Xuan looked at the girl he brought, today is a gathering of a group of old men, Bai Chuxia may not be willing to follow.
"Yu Lao, someone cooks and eats, why don't I go, the canteen in the bureau is hard to eat."
Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Bai Chuxia did not have the twist of an ordinary girl, and after today's contact, she found that Fang Yi was a little impenetrable, and she subconsciously wanted to have more contact with him.
ps: Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, I wish my friends a happy New Year, and I wish everyone a New Year. To be continued.
