Zhu Ziqing left the competition site and did not return directly to Tao Yingshuang's house, but walked around Mingzhu City alone. In his previous life, he had been to many big cities and summed up a rule. In addition to the famous attractions, the modern city is the same.

The same reinforced concrete building, the same shopping mall stall snack street. After walking around the Pearl City of this world, he found that this was not only the case in his previous life, but also in this world. The difference is that in the previous life, there was an Oriental Pearl by the Huangpu River, but in this world, it is a one hundred and eight story high-rise building.

I found a restaurant casually, and ate a meal of Ming's characteristic Benbang cuisine with curiosity. As for the taste, he can only say that it is better not to try it if you haven't eaten it. It's not that it's not delicious. To use a figurative analogy, it is like a truth that people who have never eaten spicy food eat authentic Sichuan food. Not adapting.

After eating, I walked around again, and when I was about to go back, I received a call from Master Sun Shouqing. He asked Zhu Ziqing to go to the small shop in Qibao Old Street to get together. Anyway, it was still early, and it was okay to be idle, so Zhu Ziqing took the subway all the way over.

When I got to the store, I found that there were a lot of people inside. In addition to Master Sun Shouqing, Master Jia Qigong is actually there. As for the others, he didn't know them. However, depending on the age and the situation on the scene, they should be the juniors of the two.

"Haha, little friend, hurry, hurry, come in." When Master Sun Shouqing saw Zhu Ziqing, he got up and greeted the door. The degree of politeness made the two juniors who stood solemnly on the side look sideways.

"Elder Sun, Elder Jia, I haven't seen you for two days, and your second elder is even more energetic." Zhu Ziqing looked at Master Sun Shouqing, who was full of red light, and said politely.

"I don't know if I've changed my spirit, but Old Man Sun is really proud." Master Jia Qigong said angrily.

"Haha...... You Jia Lao'er is just jealous of me. Little friend, I don't have the same knowledge as you. Master Sun Shouqing said with a smile: "Little friend, please take a seat." ”

As he spoke, he returned to the store with Zhu Zi and pointed to an empty chair.

Zhu Ziqing naturally didn't dare to sit. There were only three chairs in the room, one for each of the two masters, and there was no doubt about it. But none of the rest of the people standing were younger than him, and they were not simple people in terms of their clothes. They didn't dare to sit, how dare Zhu Ziqing make a mistake, and politely shirked:

"Don't dare, don't dare, all the seniors are standing, how can I sit."

"What are you called seniors, these uncompetitive things are all the juniors of me and Old Man Jia. You and we are old friends, they should call you senior. Master Sun Shouqing pretended to be unhappy and said.

is really the descendant of the two masters, so Zhu Ziqing doesn't dare to hold it up. Don't even dare to say it.

"Alright, you two don't come and go. Annoying. Master Jia said impatiently:

"Boy, don't shirk either. You've done him a great favor this time. Sitting in this position is as it should be. They dare not have an opinion. ”

Looking at the determined faces of the two masters. Looking left and right, he found that none of the master's juniors showed jealousy. Just looked at him with a curious gaze. Zhu Ziqing didn't refuse, and came to the third chair and sat down.

"Let me introduce you first, everyone is their own people, don't meet and make jokes in the future." Jia Qigong pointed to Zhu Ziqing and said to the few people standing: "He is Zhu Ziqing, don't you always think that you are only eight years old, look at other people's achievements in half a year, and see that you are embarrassed to show off in the future." ”

"This is Chu Yanyin, Lao Sun's apprentice, and he is also a famous Chinese painter. But his bearing is 108,000 miles worse than Lao Sun. If you can't change your pride, your achievements in this life will stop there. ”

This person is indeed arrogant, and he is very heavy, and it is all written on his face. When Master Jia Qigong said about him, although he didn't dare to refute it because of his identity. But that kind of unconvincing can be seen as long as you are not blind.

"The rest are my apprentices. This is Qian Chuyu, his head is stupid, but he is quite diligent. ”

This Qian Chuyu is not stupid in Zhu Ziqing's eyes, but honest. Although Jia Lao said it politely, the smile on his face could not deceive people, and he was very satisfied with this disciple.

"This is Xiao Jinguang, the article can't be written, and he will engage in some crooked ways every day."

Xiao Jinguang? Although Zhu Ziqing doesn't know much about the literary world, he also knows Xiao Jinguang's name. Guy took over the helm of Sprout magazine at the age of a weak crown. This move caused an uproar in the literary world, and doubts followed.

Sprout is one of the oldest surviving magazines in the country, founded before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has always been a bellwether in young people's books. Isn't it child's play to hand over such an important magazine to him?

After he took office under such great pressure, he did not restrain his hands, but made drastic reforms. Half of the editors-in-chief have been replaced in a row, and a large number of new people have been recruited, which has injected new vitality into the magazine by sweeping away the outdated and decadent atmosphere.

At the end of the first year, he cooperated with more than a dozen famous universities in China, such as Shuimu University and Yenching University, to establish a new concept essay contest, which established his unstable status in the magazine "Sprout" in one fell swoop.

In this way, if it is still called crooked and heretical, then I really don't know what is called the right way. For him, Zhu Ziqing could only say one word.

"I have been looking up for a long time, Ziqing I have been famous for a long time, and I have long wanted to visit. It's just that there is no one to build a bridge, and I don't dare to go rashly. I finally saw me today. It's really better to meet than to be famous. Let's get together sometime. Xiao Jinguang really deserves to be a delicate character on all sides, and he took a step forward and began to set it up.

Before Zhu Ziqing could answer, Master Jia Qigong waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, put away your set." Don't fight your little calculations here. lest they defile our ears. ”

Xiao Jinguang seemed to have no temper, and he smiled and retreated.

"This is also my disciple Liu Xiaoping."

When introducing others, Master Jia Qigong will comment whether he praises or scolds, but when he introduces the last one, he simply says a name and passes by. I don't want to talk about it. Liu Xiaoping seemed to be accustomed to this, and he didn't care on the surface, but Zhu Ziqing still saw a hint of gloom in his eyes.

Although he didn't know what happened between their master and apprentice, Zhu Ziqing didn't want to ask more about other people's private affairs. However, he felt that the name Liu Xiaoping was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

After Master Jia introduced a few disciples, he didn't play dumb riddles, and said directly:

"You're weird about what we asked you to do, aren't you?"

Zhu Ziqing nodded.

"I asked you to come here to thank you."

"Thank me?" Zhu Ziqing said suspiciously.

"To be precise, Lao Sun wants to thank you." Master Jia Qigong told the story, and Zhu Ziqing finally knew what was going on.

This matter also starts with his poems for Master Sun Shouqing's paintings. After the painting is completed, it is handed over to the framer for framing. As a master of Chinese painting, the master who framed his paintings was naturally not an idle person. What's more, this time it took two years to make a proud work. Master Sun invited the most famous ancient painting restorer in China to frame it.

The level of appreciation of the restorer of ancient paintings must also be very high, and when the master saw the painting sent by Master Sun, he was shocked by the master's work. It is also a great honor for him to be able to frame a painting of this level. Excited, I took a photo and sent it to my friends. As a result, the whole circle knew about it.

There is an endless stream of people who come to admire this painting. Collectors, artists, connoisseurs, etc., who can relate to the painting, want to see the painting as it really is. The restorer's house was so crowded that he couldn't work anymore and had to close his doors.

Even this can't stop the arrival of visitors, if it is related, it will be trusted, and if it is not, think of other ways. And he can only refuse ordinary people, those famous masters, experts from various museums still have to be received.

Many famous artists praised this painting and unanimously recognized it as a masterpiece. The response of the relevant departments this time was very fast. The next day, he came to the door for appraisal and announced on the spot that the painting was a national treasure and was forbidden to leave the country.

It is also clear that many paintings since the founding of the People's Republic of China can be defined as cultural relics, but they can be called national treasures, and no more than ten paintings are restricted from leaving the country. Master Sun Shouqing is the only painter whose paintings have been recognized as national treasures even after his reincarnation.

The actions of the relevant departments do not stop there. When the art world had not yet recovered from the shock, it was announced one after another that the other two masterpieces of Master Sun Shouqing were also national treasures and were restricted from leaving the country.

After this news broke, the entire art world was boiling. Three consecutive works have been designated as national treasures, a distinction that is unique in the decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China. At this moment he is already standing at the highest peak of the art world. Become one of the representatives of an era in the art world.

The prices of all the works of Master Sun Shouqing are rolling upward, and they are still priceless. His output is not high, and all his works over the years add up to no more than a hundred. Spreading to the entire market is a drop in the bucket. Those who have his works in their hands who do not hide them tightly.

Money doesn't matter to Master Sun Shouqing, he is not short of money. He has passed the age of ear shun, and he is more in pursuit of the name after his death. And his work is recognized as a national treasure, which is the highest honor for all artists.

He had hoped that he would receive such an honor decades after his death. But I didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly, so suddenly.

Zhu Ziqing finally understood why his emotions were out of control. If this happened to me, I would have gone crazy with joy. Hurriedly got up to congratulate.

"Speaking of which, he helped your light. Anyone who has seen this painting has praised your "Error" as the eye of the whole painting. It is precisely with the backdrop of this poem that the charm of this painting has been sublimated and recognized as a national treasure. Otherwise, he doesn't know how many years he would have to wait to receive such an honor. Jia Qigong exclaimed.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's better to draw by Sun Lao. My poem is just a sideline. Speaking of which, I was stained with Sun Lao's light. Zhu Ziqing said modestly.

"Ziqing, don't be modest. My old man is not confused, I know in my heart who helps whom. The old man agrees to your affection for this matter. Master Sun Shouqing waved his hand and said.

"There's one more thing I want to tell you. Those experts want the back of the poem to be stamped with your stamp so that it looks perfect. I guess you don't have a hobby for it. I carved one for you privately, I hope you don't get angry. Master Sun Shouqing said and picked up a small brocade box on the table and handed it over.

"This is the seal, you can see if you are satisfied."
