From Lo Wu Port to Hong Kong Causeway Bay, the line is not too short and not too long, passing through Hung Hom Station, then through the Guò Harbour Tunnel, and then reaching the destination - Hong Kong Causeway Bay.

Located on the west side of the north shore of the centre of Hong Kong Island, Causeway Bay is one of Hong Kong's major commercial and entertainment venues. There are many major department stores and shopping malls, including Sogo, Times Square, Lee Arena Plaza and the World Trade Center. The Causeway Bay shopping district is also the most expensive in the world, claiming that every inch of land is expensive, and the "gold" here is not gold, but platinum——!

The bus carried Lin Yi and others into the Empire Hotel near Causeway Bay, and then drove quickly to the hotel's parking lot. This calligraphy and painting activity was held in this hotel, and of course, the food and accommodation of the big guys were also here.

When you are at the gate of the bus pass Guò Hotel, you can see clearly that there is a big red banner at the entrance of the hotel, which reads "Friendship between the two places. Brush and Ink Shine - Hong Kong Mainland Calligraphy and Painting Exchange Exhibition", it is conceivable that the personnel here have made a lot of preparations in advance.

In fact, the mainland and Hong Kong are becoming more and more connected, and art exchange activities such as art exhibitions are becoming more and more popular.

In terms of art, the mainland and Hong Kong are like Qian Zhongshu's novel "The Siege of the City", where people in the city want to rush out, and people outside the city want to rush in.

Hong Kong's art circle is very small, many famous calligraphers and painters have begun to look at the mainland, after all, those who engage in art also need money to support, like the Hong Kong director collective going north, Hong Kong's calligraphy and painting artists also urgently need to be recognized by the mainland market, only in this way, can they better expand their fame and increase their influence.

On the contrary, mainland calligraphers and painters feel that Hong Kong is an international metropolis, in line with foreign standards, is a very good springboard to the world, and Hong Kong has a very strong artistic atmosphere at the intersection of Chinese and Western cultures, if you can complete exchanges and cooperation in Hong Kong, then it will be of great help to your own art career in the future, after all, this is also a "gilded" out.

Because of this, after the mainland bigwig Xu Haoming proposed to engage in the exchange of calligraphy and painting art between the two places, the calligraphy and painting circles in Hong Kong immediately hit it off.

The bus stopped in the parking lot, and everyone got off the bus one after another, the three old men were old, and it was inevitable that they would be dizzy and inconvenient to get off, so they were supported by Su Xue and others to get off, and as for the luggage, they were all lost to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi turned around and wanted to find Xu Dashao, a free porter, but this guy forgot his righteousness, and when he saw the woman, he didn't even want the eldest brother, and followed Han Meimei to grind his mouth.

Helpless, Lin Yi had no choice but to carry a large pile of luggage from the car one by one, one, two, three or four...... Like a landlord and a rich man's groom.

In the driver's seat, the driver looked at him, squinting, smoking, and looking leisurely - watching others suffer is sometimes a pleasure.

……

Just when Lin Yi was sweating profusely and unloading his luggage, and then carrying it to the cart with the help of the doorman, a big fat man with a shy stomach and hands behind his back, looking very much like a leader, walked over, and looked around with small eyes, as if he was looking for someone.

After looking around and not finding it, the big fat man said very unceremoniously to Lin Yi, who was moving the box: "Little guy, do you see a mainland boy?" ”

It was spoken in Cantonese.

Lin Yi didn't understand, so he hummed, "What? Frowning, he looked at the big fat man.

The big fat man said impatiently again: "Have you ever seen a mainland boy?" "It's a lot louder.

Lin Yi still stared at him, and then said embarrassedly, "What did you say?" I don't understand it—I work in Cantonese, I don't understand ....... “

The fat man was in a hurry, and blurted out his hometown dialect: "I ask you, do you see a young man from the mainland?" ”

Lin Yi: "Oh, it turned out to be a fellow countryman, why didn't you say it earlier-hehe, I'm from the mainland." ”

Big Fat Man: "......"

Fortunately, at this time, Han Meimei came over and hurriedly introduced: "Mr. Lin, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Zhu, the general manager of our Hong Kong branch, who came to visit you today." ”

Big fat man-Mr. Zhu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to be Lin Yi, so he looked at Lin Yi very curiously.

Ordinary, really ordinary.

There's nothing special, I really don't know how Boss Xu fell in love with him.

In fact, the reason why this Mr. Zhu wanted to find Lin Yi was entirely because Boss Xu had an explanation over there, saying that this young man was very capable, and the activities in Hong Kong were handed over to him to handle.

After receiving this news, Mr. Zhu checked Lin Yi's details very vigilantly, thinking that he was a "relative of the emperor", but it turned out to be a posterior boy who sold second-hand books.

A second-hand bookseller, I really don't know what's special. Mr. Zhu despised Lin Yi, but he has always been steady, and it is better to see it with his own eyes, but now that he has met, he is more convinced of his judgment, this is an ordinary goods, and he doesn't know what kind of-luck he took to get this opportunity to come to Hong Kong.

Speaking of Hong Kong, Mr. Zhu has been here for almost three years. From head to toe, Mr. Zhu felt that he had already washed away the rustic atmosphere on his body, and he thought that he was no longer a mainland "turtle", and he was almost a complete "Hong Kong person", so he usually spoke in Cantonese, and occasionally sandwiched some Hong Kong-style English, but he didn't expect to be exposed as soon as he saw Lin Yi, which made him so faceless.

Lin Yi thought it was funny, people used to like to speak Cantonese, which was fashionable, but now what age is it, and even the capital of the Special Republic wants to learn to speak Mandarin, and it seems that there are still many people who don't know the situation.

As the leader of Hong Kong, Mr. Zhu raised his posture and explained a few words to Lin Yi very carefully, and he didn't smile during the whole process; Finally, he looked at Lin Yi's dress meaningfully, turned his face and said to Han Meimei beside him: "Help Zhang Luo, this is a big scene, don't let the company lose face." ”

Although he didn't say it very clearly, Lin Yi knew that he was saying that he was not dressed well.

In fact, Lin Yi was wearing a very low-key shirt, with a gray short-sleeved shirt with plaid on the upper body and a pair of trousers underneath, which he bought from the brand store before coming to Hong Kong, and it cost almost 2,000 oceans.

However, this kind of clothing matching looks very rustic in Hong Kong, so Mr. Zhu specially reminded Han Meimei to pay attention to the image of the exhibitors.

After chatting with Lin Yi briefly, Mr. Zhu left with his hands behind his back.

Lin Yi didn't care, this was all expected, after the general manager Zhu left, he went to the front desk, took the key, and went to his room to rest.

Nice room, standard single room.

Sofa, TV, big bed, toilet you name it. took the remote control and sat on the bed and turned on the TV casually, it turned out to be the "Meiya Movie" channel, which was playing the movie "Jiupin Sesame Official", and the movie was playing the scene of Xing Ye being thrown cabbage.

Lin Yi had watched this drama before, and he thought it was interesting, so he watched it for a while, but he couldn't laugh like he used to, maybe he grew up, maybe this kind of drama couldn't keep up with the times, in short, Lin Yi picked up the remote control and changed the channel again, this time it was the reading channel of Phoenix Satellite TV, and a white-haired scholar was recommending a book on TV, the name of the book was "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli".

Lin Yi has heard of the book "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", but he has not read it, it is said that a Chinese-American writer Huang Renyu wrote a monograph on the history of the Ming Dynasty in 1981, which is very famous, no, very famous.

The first hardcover edition of the 1982 Zhonghua Book Company in China has now been speculated to three or four hundred by collectors who like historiography, and even the second print version is also priced at hundreds of dollars, and Huang Renyu's autograph has reached a price of more than 1,800 yuan.

At this moment, on the big TV screen, the gray-haired expert has almost reached the end of the book: "In 1587, there is also the death of the legendary Hai Rui, the departure of the lonely general Qi Jiguang, and the shaving of the thinker and philosopher Li Zhen as a monk." None of them were immune to a tragic fate. As the author writes at the end of the book -

In 1587, it was the fifteenth year of Wanli, the second year of Ding Hai, on the surface, it seemed that the four seas were leveled, and there was nothing to remember, but in fact, our Ming Empire had come to the end of its development. At this time, the emperor's hard work or feasting and happiness, the dictatorship or reconciliation of the first assistant, the wealth of the high-ranking generals or the habit of Gou'an, the honesty or corruption of the civil officials, the extreme progress or absolute conservatism of the thinkers, the final result is that there is no distinction between good and evil, and all of them cannot achieve meaningful development in their careers. ”

Watching TV and listening to the expert's explanation, Lin Yi's eyelids were a little fighting...... After a busy morning, queuing and taking a car, plus dragging luggage, Lin Yi was really tired. At this time, I couldn't support it anymore, and when I lay down on the bed, I felt that my bones were crispy, and then as soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep comfortably.

In his sleep, Lin Yi seemed to have become the unlucky emperor Wanli, who was called by Zhang Juzheng and his ministers, eating a meal and saying that he didn't eat, sitting on a dragon chair and saying that he didn't sit in a seat, and saying that the emperor should know how to be thrifty, and drinking a bowl of sour plum soup was a waste of the treasury, and said that the Japanese have not been eliminated, how can they enjoy themselves......

Lin Yi was very aggrieved, so he complained to the eunuch next to him, but the eunuch smiled and said, Your Majesty, let's see who our family is? Lin Yi saw that the eunuch turned out to be "Wu Mengda" with two beards. Then the "Star Master" also jumped out, carrying the dragon head, saying that he would get rid of him, the faint king. Lin Yi begged bitterly, saying that he was not a faint king, Zhang Juzheng was a traitor, and he would be punished if he wanted him. Xing Ye didn't follow, and he pulled Lin Yi to be killed, and Lin Yi couldn't help but shout that he was wronged-(To be continued.) )
