Cao Danqing had just returned to Shanghai, and Zhong Yue was ready to go back to Huizhou. It's only been a month since college started, and it's another long vacation. Mid-Autumn Festival plus two days off, five days in a row. Taking advantage of this small holiday, Zhong Yue said hello to Zhang Laifu, bought a high-speed rail ticket, and went back to Huizhou directly.

Zhong Yue, who was sitting on the train, was also very busy.

"You're quite good at picking the right time, when I get off the plane, you will take the car back to Huizhou, in the days when I'm not there, have you practiced your skills well?"

Zhong Yue heard the concern in Cao Danqing's stern words, so he said: "Teacher, don't worry, the pen has not stopped." ”

"Hehe, come back for the test!"

"......" Zhong Yue immediately changed his words, "I put a box of Mid-Autumn Festival gifts in your studio, you can take a look." ”

"Started bribing teachers?"

"Where. Disciple respects the teacher, is this still wrong?"

The voice of Cao Danqing changing slippers came from the other end of the phone, "Okay." Let's go home and rest in peace, I'm tired from this business trip for more than half a month, and I will rest for a few days. ”

"Then let's do it first, by the way, teacher, that mooncake gift box is very expensive, don't look at it, just give it away." ”

"You kid, I'm afraid I don't know how much money you spend? I know, isn't it just moon cakes, it's so much that I want to die every year, okay, I'll see it." ”

Zhong Yue nodded and said, "That's good." ”

The golden bottle gift box is specially prepared by their company for celebrities in the cultural world, and it is estimated that there are only a few thousand sets of finished products, so Zhong Yue didn't dare to take more, except for the three sets given to Xi Lao Han Lao and Cao Danqing, he only brought two sets when he came back, just in case of emergency.

After dealing with Cao Danqing here, Ouyang Kaishan's call came, which is rare. A little paint here, it was Ouyang Guoqing who was contacting him. Since the dust of the golden wedding ceremony settled, Ouyang Kaishan has not had much contact with him, after all, the entire Ouyang International is not serving Zhong Yue alone.

"Mr. Ouyang. ”

"Zhong Yue, this time you go back to Huizhou, I hope you will contribute to something. ”

You say. ”

"Didn't you say before that the business of the old ink factory you went to before has been sluggish? Without its own brand, such a factory is destined to be eliminated by the times. You are now the legal representative of a little lacquer, so I mean, you go to talk, it is better to be able to merge and acquire. ”

"Mr. Ouyang, this is ......"

Zhong Yue was still a little confused. You must know that the current Zhong Yue is like a hands-off shopkeeper, although he has a little title of lacquer legal representative, but in the end, he has never taken care of anything, and Zhong Yue has no heart to take care of the company's business. Sales, production, operation, etc., if you spend energy, you will almost be busy, recently in thinking about Yongxin's things, practicing calligraphy and painting time are a lot less, back to Huizhou, just adjust the mentality.

"I know you haven't experienced it. When we go to talk, we will encounter the same troubles as we did at the beginning. You know, Ouyang International is a behemoth and will not change the grand strategy, so only you can come forward for a little paint here, even if mergers and acquisitions are not possible, as an OEM processing point, it is also a good choice. I heard Guoqing say that the gold bottle series needs manual ancient methods, which is currently a scarce labor force in Shanghai. ”

"This can be discussed. ”

Ouyang Kaishan smiled: "Well, you decide." However, even if it is a merger and acquisition, the strength of the Ouyang family can also be eaten. If the operation of the Mid-Autumn Festival is successful, the heel of a little paint in Shanghai will stand firm. ”

"Definitely. ”

The bullet train is exchanged between the city and the mountains. A few hours later, Zhong Yue returned to this familiar city.

All the way, Zhong Yue returned to Z County, ready to visit Li Deming first.

"Today is not a good day...... Li Deming greets guests on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but today is Tuesday, Zhong Yue had to cheekily call Zhao Zhimin.

The familiar bluestone bricks and evergreen birch trees in the alley have been in Shanghai for two months, but it seems that they have been separated by a few springs and autumns.

"Uncle Zhao. ”

"Come in, you are a distinguished guest now, the leaders of the county in the past were not seen on Tuesday, and when I heard that you were coming, Master made an exception. ”

"As soon as I came back, everyone walked to the mouth of the alley, thinking of Li Lao's rules, I didn't come to run in vain and brought some things over. Zhong Yue handed a gift box in his hand to Zhao Zhimin.

"No part of me?"

Zhong Yue smiled, "You're embarrassed for me." I went to school in Shanghai, and I didn't make a fortune, so how did I return to my hometown. ”

"Aren't you returning to your hometown? Xiling Printing Society, the teacher is just a temporary director, and the books are still a little inferior, you have only been there for two months, and the books have been sent to your home. ”

"Hehe, luck. Xi Qichang Xi Lao in Shanghai, who happened to know Qian Yunyao Qian Lao in Xiling, has the meaning of publishing the Lingfei Sutra, so asking me to write can be regarded as a grace of support. ”

Zhao Zhimin smiled: "You don't have to say it, it's all written in this preface." What are your plans for this visit?"

"What can you do? After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the master at home is still alive, so I can't marry a daughter-in-law and forget my mother. ”

"Haha, why does God marry a daughter-in-law......"

The two of them talked and laughed and went to the study at the back.

Li Deming is still wearing a long shirt, but the weather is cold, and this material looks a lot thicker, "What are you two talking about, so happy?"

Zhong Yue smiled: "Old Li don't come unharmed. Uncle Zhao and I are talking about coming back to the countryside to rest for a few days. ”

"Are you still used to eating and living in Shanghai?"

"It's good. ”

Li Deming had already made tea, "You said on the phone that you studied under Cao Danqing before?"

"Yes. Huamei old professor, now it is a state of semi-retirement and non-retirement, I have a lot of things to do, I really study in school, I'm afraid that I don't have skills, and it is much more convenient. ”

"Cao Danqing is very good. I have read his article "Sketches Ruined Chinese Painting", and there is indeed some basis, the combination of Chinese and Western, nondescript, really shouldn't learn that kind of thing. ”

Zhong Yue smiled and did not interject.

"Your Xiaokai, the progress is quite fast, which is beyond my expectations. ”

"It may be that the lacquer book has been practiced for a long time, and if one law is general, all laws can be passed. ”

Zhao Zhimin put the washed tea set on the table, "You will put gold on your face, and when Master praises you, it will swell." ”

"Zhimin, this is not a boast, it is a fact. ”

“……”

Zhong Yue said: "Mr. Ouyang and I are in Shanghai, and we have made a brand of the ink ingot that I gave you, and you can take a look at it this time." ”

"If you don't mention it, I forgot, I used this thing for a few old friends, and they all said that they wanted to buy a few spindles, but they went to Dexuan and sold out early. ”

"This one is mine, no. The main reason is that the production supply is not enough, and I am busy with my studies, so I don't have time to make ink, and Pang Jun and I have also explained. ”

Li Deming nodded and said: "You have to keep your heart, utilitarianism is like floating clouds, and now you are keen on this, and what you lose is your youth." ”

"I know that a little lacquer is taken care of by the Ouyang family. ”

Zhao Zhimin was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you afraid of being hollowed out? ”

Zhong Yue looked at Zhao Zhimin, who was a little surprised, "The company was not mine in the first place. ”

“……”

Zhong Yue suddenly remembered something, turned around and took out a small box from his schoolbag, and said, "By the way, Elder Li." I don't know if you don't know anything about coins. I got a coin in Shanghai. It's said that you can't eat accurately, you are a Jinshi family, you may have researched. ”

"Coins, you show them to me. ”

Zhong Yue opened the small box, there was a lot of desiccant in it, this was instructed by Xi Qichang, this kind of copper coin is easy to be oxidized, if the air is too humid, then there will be more patina, and some collection measures are still necessary.

"You coin...... Where did you get it?"

"Scooped up. ”

Li Deming got up, looked in the bookcase at the back, took out an ancient book from the shoulder-high bookshelf, flipped through it halfway, turned around and walked over, "You this, if I'm not mistaken, it's probably it." ”

"What you mean is the Qianming Tongbao of the Northern Qi Dynasty. ”

Li Deming sat down, I didn't mean it, this "Qianlu Baotong" was written by a collector in the Ming Dynasty. The name of the Qianming Dynasty is the first year name of the abolished emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the coinage in the first year is the most common, but it lasted less than a few months, so after more than 1,400 years, the coins of the Qianming Dynasty are rare in the world, and I also saw the appearance from this book.

Zhong Yue compared the style of the Qianming Tongbao drawn by the Ming people, and it was indeed similar to the one in his hand.

"It's a pity that the most important words have been corroded. ”

It is okay to corrode a "pass" or a "bao", but as a result, a "Ming" word is corroded, which is a bit unsatisfactory.

Li Deming continued: "But the value of this coin is still very high, if I have to give a market value, it may be around 800,000. ”

"800,000?" Zhao Zhimin jumped up, "Master, your price is a bit exaggerated, now the carving mother money on the market is only 100,000, you set 800,000 for this coin with flowing copper......

Li Deming looked at Zhao Zhimin, "Why is the carving mother's money expensive? That's because it's rare, but no matter how few, hundreds of pieces can be found, this Qianming Tongbao, you look at what is said in this book, it was almost extinct in the Ming Dynasty, and this person who wrote the book also borrowed one from a friend, and it was drawn down, which is enough to see the scarcity." 800,000, I think it's all priceless. ”

"Zhong Yue, why are your little hands so red?"

"That's what I said, Uncle Zhao, I have eyesight!"

"Eyesight? You don't understand anything, it was the stone seal before, and then it was Hailan Huanghuali, and now this Qianming Tongbao of Northern Qi! I really convinced you! When did this leak become so easy to pick up?"

Zhong Yue put away the coin and smiled, "Then I don't know." Old Li, then I'll go back first. Come back another day to catch up. ”

Li Deming is now counting the days and spending the rest of his life, and nodded: "That's good." That's right, Zhong Yue. Are you interested in learning seal carving?"

"......" Zhong Yue said a little overwhelmed, "Elder Li, I really want to learn, but now I am so busy that I am really powerless." ”

Li Deming looked at Zhong Yue with a tired look, "Then it's up to you." Our school is also considered to be the best in the seal carving school, if you are interested, I can teach you. ”

"Then thank you Elder Li first. ”

Zhiyin Zhongyue really wants to learn, but at this time, the doppelganger lacks skills!
