Chapter 141: The Paris Celebration Banquet

Tao Xiaoman still wants to continue his studies in Paris, Xi Qing's trip to Paris was first invited by Tao Xiaoman, but later he was willing to study here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Originally Xi Qing from wood carving, now has expanded to the scope of art carving, architectural carving, after returning to China, the carving literature and art of natural Xi Qing can develop better.

I called Teacher Qiunier, who knew that Xi Qing was going back to China this time, and said that he would prepare a celebration banquet for Xi Qing, where did Xi Qing have any merits, and he needed to hold a banquet, but Teacher Qiunier insisted, and Xi Qing agreed.

After everything was dealt with in London, Xi Qing and Tao Xiaoman flew back to Paris.

When they arrived in the evening, they had a good night's rest in the hotel, and the next day, Xi Qing went to attend the banquet prepared by Mr. Qiunier.

Xi Qing wore a very simple outfit, a casual outfit. Tao Xiaoman really didn't dress up to attend, because the two of them thought it was a simple gathering of friends.

But when Xi Qing and Tao Xiaoman came to the agreed location, Gloria Shengshi Winery, Tao Xiaoman and Xi Qing felt that they were too hasty.

Because there were far more people present at this celebration banquet than just Cunill, Karen, and Bane.

Including Qunill, Druid, and even Curator Jot, there are many characters that Xi Qing has never seen, with straight suits and evening dresses appearing in front of him.

In the winery, the melodious Parisian-style lazy music, as well as everything in the winery, seems so cozy, as if it is carefully arranged to welcome the guests.

Xi Qing held Tao Xiaoman's hand, the two of them were dressed very plainly, but they were still the focus of this party.

Qiunir beckoned to Xi Qing from afar: "Xi Qing, are you here?" ”

"No, teacher, what the hell is going on, didn't you tell me that it was a very small celebratory banquet, why is it so grand?"

Honir shook his head, his eyebrows furrowed, "No, no, I didn't say it was a small banquet, I just said it was a celebration for you." The preparation was all done by Karen and Bane. You have to ask them about this. ”

As he was talking, Bane also came, this kid was dressed more handsomely, just like the prince of France, if he rode a white horse, he would definitely kill many girls.

"Bane, what the hell is going on?" Xi Qing continued to ask questions and walked towards Bane.

"Oh, this, you'll know this later, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time, come with me and go inside." Bane directly grabbed Xi Qing's arm, and his mysterious expression made Xi Qing even less aware of what was waiting for him.

Xi Qing cautiously didn't dare to move forward, he was afraid that he would be frightened, but at this time, another pair of hands pushed him behind his back, it was the teacher Qiunier.

Xi Qing had a feeling that this must be a planned conspiracy, definitely a conspiracy!

Pushed and embraced, passing through the garden-like corridor, and entering the inside, Xi Qing knew that the furnishings outside were just foreshadowing, and the inside was the theme.

Here, there is a long table banquet with a length of several tens of meters, and all kinds of food and drinks are available on the table.

Xi Qing has also seen a long table banquet in China, but compared to the banquet here, the domestic one is simply weak.

Moreover, every headlight in this place is silver flashing, and the size is impossible to visualize, and it is always very majestic.

The light they emitted illuminated the place where the golden light shimmered, and it was as bright as the morning sun.

On both sides of the long table, there are leather sofas, which are still as long as they want.

There are waiters walking around here, each of them is a handsome guy and a beautiful woman, and at a glance they are polite and know that they are entertaining VIPs and have been professionally trained.

When Xi Qing arrived, Curator Jote walked gentlemanly, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "Welcome to the arrival of our protagonist, congratulations on becoming an outstanding sculptor." ”

"Thank you." Director Jot didn't think so much of himself before, but today his blessing can be seen from the bottom of his heart.

Director Jot is also a figure of status in Paris, so polite to himself.

Xi Qing was a little cautious, and he didn't dare to slack off at all.

But here, Curator Jot is really nothing, just say hello, and Jot has stepped aside.

Then Xi Qing saw Mayor Huntley coming.

It is nothing to say that Mayor Huntley came over, but at this time there is a woman behind Huntley, she is wearing a white noble dress, and she is wearing a silver-white crown on her head, in short, she is like a princess, no, more temperamental than a princess, it should be said that she is possessed by the queen.

Xi Qing was a little surprised in the next second, no, this is really Her Royal Highness the Queen.

Huntley said that he was going to report to Her Royal Highness the Queen, could it be that he was recognized by the Queen right away, and then came here to see him?

Xi Qing was completely unprepared, the closer the woman got closer, the faster Xi Qing's heart beated.

It's definitely a conspiracy.

Where have I ever seen such a tall figure, the Queen of Paris, the Queen of France, what kind of rhythm is this.

Huntley and the woman had already come to Xi Qing, and Xi Qing had to stabilize his emotions.

Huntley's expression was also a little nervous, and when he arrived in front of Xi Qing, he deliberately looked back at the woman's expression.

Seeing that the woman was in a good state, she gestured before she said to Xi Qing: "Mr. Xi Qing, I'm very happy to see you here, I have to introduce you to the one behind me." ”

"Yes." Xi Qing's gaze then shifted to the woman.

This woman really looks like she is in her thirties, and her figure is particularly plump, especially her breasts are two of Oriental women, even if Tao Xiaoman's breasts are considered big among women, compared to this woman's, it is estimated that it is only half the size of others.

Dressed in a white dress like a wedding dress, she set off her height of more than 1.75 meters, plus the golden ten-centimeter high heels, which are completely shoulder to shoulder with Xi Qing, or even slightly taller.

"This is my Royal Highness Queen of France, Illemona."

"Queen Elimona, this man is the outstanding master sculptor Xi Qing, and he has excellent skills in the art of painting."

Elimena smiled gently, her emotions were natural and charming. Xi Qing hurriedly said modestly: "It's Mayor Huntley who is serious, and I'm just a hobby." ”

"No, Mr. Xi Qing, you don't have to be modest. Also, I forgot to tell you that I'm not going to be mayor of Paris soon, I'm in the process of handing over work. In the future, I will work under the Queen. ”

"I had heard the Queen speak of you before you came."

The woman smiled and said to Xi Qing: "First of all, welcome to Paris, France, on behalf of the French royal family, I welcome you." I think you must have been surprised to come here today, I don't know what's going on. Actually, after I learned that Master Chunir was going to give you a celebratory banquet, I arranged such a gathering on the fly. I invite some artists from Paris to witness with you and congratulate you again. ”

Suddenly someone handed a bench behind Ilimena, perhaps because she was afraid that Ilimena would get tired from standing, and the queen sat down arrogantly.

It's a very charming look.

She smiled, as if she had been trained by the royal system, but it was true that she did not leave a deliberate shadow at all, which was natural and decent.

Sitting down, she dragged her gauze skirt and said gently: "Mr. Xi Qing, I actually have two small purposes for arranging such a party, the first is to get to know you, and also to let our famous art masters in Paris get to know you." Second, it is also a personal wish and request of mine. Our country has always attached great importance to talents, and when I saw such an excellent carving master as you, I felt very reluctant to let you leave our country. So I want to give you a green card for our country, and I want you to join our French nationality. I don't know, can you agree to this request of mine? ”

Huntley had mentioned this naturalization, but he didn't agree to it at the time.

It must have been, he later approached Her Royal Highness the Queen, and wanted to use the Queen's authority to impress himself, or to move himself.

What Elimena said was very sincere, Xi Qing didn't know who she had invited to join the French nationality, but this invitation had definitely risen to an absolute height.

Queen Illemona stood on the country's standpoint and sincerely expressed her request for Xi Qing to become a French citizen.

Xi Qing was very moved and grateful.

It can even be said that it is somewhat flattered.

A queen looks up to herself, and a queen wants to join their nationality, which means that in the future, in this country, she will become a figure who calls for wind and rain.

There is no doubt that this is the case, but Xi Qing also understands that he is a Chinese, and what flows in his body is the blood of the Chinese nation.

But despite this, Xi Qing still can't refuse categorically, this is a matter of face. It takes time to slowly dilute it, not reject it outright.

Especially sitting across from her was the queen of a country.

"Queen Elimona, I thank you very much for looking up to me, it's just that I haven't thought about this yet, can you wait for me to think about it before replying?"

"No problem. I can give you time. Today is the first time we've met, and I know you need a consideration. But I wish you could spend more time in Paris, France. I would also like to invite you to visit our Château de Fontainebleau in the coming week, to visit our Notre Dame Cathedral, to see the Eiffel Tower, and I think you will gradually enjoy everything here. ”

"Cheers."

Queen Elimena gently raised a wine glass, looking more charming.

Xi Qing didn't dare to slack off at all, so he took a glass of wine from the waiter tray passing by, and drank it after clinking glasses with the queen.

After toasting to the queen, Queen Elimena got up: "Mr. Xi Qing, I still have something to do, I hope you can consider my words, and besides, have fun here, I want to leave first." ”

After saying that, the queen hurried down.

As for the queen, there are still many things to do, and it is impossible to stay here and drink.

Only then did Xi Qing know that the queen came here specifically for herself.

It's just that the queen in Xi Qing's imagination is still simpler, in fact, Elimena didn't come here just to see him.

On the contrary, Elimena decided to come here after much consideration. She herself was actually reluctant to come.

Elimena's starting point was the successful creation of the Goddess of Victory statue in Xi Qing, which almost overshadowed Summert's Goddess of Victory.

Including, the courage of Xi Qing to solve the case, if it weren't for Xi Qing, the sensational Jiangyang robbery case in Paris would not have been solved. Besides, Huntley was able to settle in the Palace of Fontainebleau and become a royal family, which was also because he handed over a large number of treasures to the country, which were not brought back by Xi Qing.

Elimena didn't care about those foreign treasures, and he admired Xi Qing's talent, and he believed that Xi Qing would soon become the world's best sculptor.

Sculpture has always been a monopoly of the West, and the most famous sculptors are also produced in the countries of the Western territory, especially France has a huge advantage in this field.

But Xi Qing's birth surprised everyone, this Chinese is bound to change this pattern, the only way to reduce this possibility is to Xi Qing to join the French nationality.

This is the first reason why Xi Qing must be naturalized as a French citizen. Of course, there is a second one, that is, Xi Qing now has a sketch of Picasso, a national treasure of the West, in his hands.

There is no impermeable wall, Xi Qing got Picasso's sketch, this thing has been known, if you spend money to buy it, or exchange it for other Chinese treasures, this is not the most ideal and best way. There are no other ways to follow, so it is more appropriate for Xi Qing to take out the treasure willingly.

And if you want Xi Qing to contribute Picasso's sketches, or he will become French nationality, as long as this step is realized, the rest of the things will fall into place and be logical.

That's why Ilimena specially arranged such an incredible feast in a short period of time, so she came here specially to come. The grandeur of this banquet made Xi Qing owe a favor first.

This is just the first step in Queen Elimona's sugar-coated cannonballs.

The so-called men, Ilimena knows, are all interested in money, women, and status.

In Paris, France, Queen Ilimena was able to give Xi Qing all of these, a meeting gift was not enough to worry about, and Ilimena's hurried departure was exactly what was arranged.

Xi Qing, Ilimena has decided to tell him to stay in the fertile soil of Paris.

Queen Elimona's departure made the banquet more free and lively.

Everyone pushed the glass and changed the cup together, without any worries, and drank freely.

When Xi Qing went to London, Paris made a particularly popular propaganda on Xi Qing's statue of Victory, and advertised Xi Qing as an artist comparable to the previous master carvers, and Xi Qing became the most outstanding sculptor in Paris.

They warmly invited Xi Qing at the banquet and hoped that Xi Qing would go to see the exhibition of his Goddess of Victory statue tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
