The staff respectfully invited Yan Lao and his party to the VIP room, which was also ordered by Director Ning, they didn't dare to slack off, and their attitude was very sincere and humble.

The VIP room of the museum is also very spacious, accommodating hundreds of people without a problem, and the light is not very dazzling. The interior is decorated in an antique style, which contrasts strongly with the modern exterior. I saw that the walls inside were decorated with shiny mahogany, but the ground was covered with a layer of pine bark-like things, which was not smooth, but it looked comfortable.

There were also twenty or thirty large stake tea tables with a few stools around them. These tea tables are also of different shapes, mainly brown in color, and different materials, some are made of various trees, and some are made of precious stones. Tea tables, teacups, teapots, tea leaves and other tea-making utensils are placed on the tea table.

After Hong Tianbao and the others sat down, the eye-catching staff immediately brought boiling water, ready to show everyone his tea-making skills. But many of the people present are veterans of making tea, and this waiter is a bit of a classmate.

"Alright, let's do it ourselves! If you have something to do, get busy first. An expert saw that although he was skillful and wonderful in making tea, he was obviously a little less stable and hot, so he simply started to drive people away.

"Huh! That's good, that's good! Facilitate yourselves, and I will go out first, and if there is anything to do, just give me orders. The man smiled awkwardly, then hunched out.

Who knew that at this time, Sun Moba spoke: "Hey! Brat! Bring me a few cans of herbal tea, I'm not used to drinking these hot teas. Be careful not to bitter herbal tea, others are arbitrary. ”

"Hmmm! Bring me a can too! Hong Tianbao also nodded, he was not very interested in appreciating tea, but felt hot!

And Tang Xin is not used to drinking tea, and he is also notoriously stubborn, so he also ordered: "Give me a cup of milk tea by the way!" Add more milk and less sugar! ”

The staff had already secretly wiped their sweat, and the museum's VIP room was used for tea. But it's herbal tea, and it's milk tea, but I haven't tried it. The museum didn't prepare any of this, so I had to get it outside. Elder Yan and a few experts looked at each other and smiled bitterly, in Director Ning's land, it is estimated that only these few people dare to do this.

After the staff left, they immediately asked the others to hurry outside to get some herbal tea and milk tea that Hong Tianbao and others wanted. Curator Ning had told him a thousand times before that he must try his best to meet the requirements of these three young people.

Just when Hong Tianbao and Sun Moba were drinking herbal tea, Tang Xin was drinking milk tea, and Yan Lao and others were tasting tea, Director Ning had already led Kong Lao, Ye Lao and others in. When he just got off the bus, the arrival of Kong Lao and the others caused a lot of people to stir, and Director Ning went straight to the VIP room very decisively.

And some people who felt that their status was not high were looking for reasons to stay outside, and Director Ning politely ordered someone to entertain others. Director Ning knows his own family affairs, and his VIP room is very good, but he can't squeeze in hundreds of people! So when those people excused themselves, Director Ning also breathed a sigh of relief and went down.

When he went in and saw the scene, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

A group of people exchanged pleasantries, which is the most common hospitality method used by Chinese.

"Brother's luck is really incredible! Now that it is the third jade carving, it seems that it is not a dream to gather the 12 zodiac signs! Ye Jianzhong walked over and patted Hong Tianbao on the shoulder.

Hong Tianbao shook his head with a smile and said: "I don't think it's slim, it depends on luck and coincidence, if you go to find it specifically, it will undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

"Huh! This is not in a hurry, anyway, there is time! It's better to have hope than to despair! Ye Jianzhong comforted.

Hong Tianbao, Tang Xin and Sun Moba greeted Ye Lao and the others one after another. Ye Lao's eyes glared and said, "You three little guys are quite capable!" As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, he made waves, and even the No. 1 chief was alarmed. ”

"Oops! Grandpa Ye, you can't say that! We are here to eliminate harm for the people, and there is no merit and hard work! How can you still teach us heroes? Tang Xinzui said stiffly.

Sun Moba also nodded violently, but he was faintly a little weak-hearted, and the things he did in Nanjing didn't seem to be very glorious.

"Oh? According to your girl's tone, do you still want to ask for a reward? Ye Lao raised his eyebrows and said.

Tang Xin was not afraid of this old Red Army at all, and said with a grin: "If the country has a reward, of course it will not be refused!" If not, we don't force it, after all, we didn't think about reciprocating at the time! ”

Tang Xin's bright eyes suddenly rolled, and then said: "Otherwise, Grandpa Ye, you can give me a small reward in private, and lend me your misty jade cicada to play for a few days." ”

Ye Lao's eyelids jumped, and he felt that this girl's mouth kung fu was getting more and more powerful. The Mi-colored Jade Cicada lent her? That's impossible, who knows how many days she's been these days? Maybe when she is about to die, this girl will be sent back to see her for the last time, isn't it sad? So Ye Lao said lightly: "Girl, if you like it, come to me and take a few looks, it's best not to beat my jade cicada's idea." ”

Ye Lao turned to Hong Tianbao, his whole old face changed, and he said with a smile on his face: "Tianbao has found the Jade Dragon this time, and his merits are immeasurable!" ”

Tang Xin and Sun Moba were in a daze, and secretly said that this person has grown old like this, how can a face still change so much? Sun Moba touched his head and said, "It's strange, I'm not dazzled!" ”

Tang Xin added: "Is it possible for two people to be dazzled at the same time?" ”

"Let's sit down and have a few cups of tea, and our conference won't open until nine o'clock." Director Ning greeted everyone and said that the hour of nine o'clock was the auspicious time of the zodiac that he had spent so much effort to choose. In China, it is also very important to choose the time to do things. What's more, such a major event is inevitably carefully selected.

"Good! Good! Good! This exhibition will go down in our history just like this year's Treasure Appreciation Tournament. Kong Lao said three good words with a face, which shows how excited he is now.

"It's a pity, if Tianbao's other two jade carvings are also displayed together, I believe it will be more perfect and more shocking." Pavilion Director Ning said with some heartlessness, looking at Hong Tianbao.

This time, Director Ding really couldn't stand this old thing, he coughed twice, and also quoted a sentence from the movie and said: "Ahem! Lao Ning! I think this meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be walked step by step, and if the step is big, it will be! ”

Director Ding has already made up his mind that he must persuade Hong Tianbao to let the other two jade carvings be exhibited for the first time in the Palace Museum. Otherwise, what would be the face of his big brother in the Palace Museum? How can he be embarrassed?

The relationship between Director Ding and Director Ning is the same as the relationship between Hong Lao and Ye Lao, they are both very iron. But maybe because the two of them are walking together, Curator Ding and Curator Ning often talk to each other, and it's normal to quarrel.

Director Ning suddenly raised his old eyes, blew his beard and said, "Lao Ding, are you looking for fault?" Don't always think that your Forbidden City Museum is the Emperor Lao Tzu, our Shanghai Museum is not bad, if it weren't for your museum being a little older, would you be able to get to this point? And your management style is not good, and you have been robbed several times, which is ironclad proof that God will not change. ”

Director Ding didn't like to hear this, his old body trembled violently, and he pointed at Director Ning with a red face and scolded: "Old ghost, you speak clearly." Isn't our Palace Museum better than your Shanghai Museum? Your Shanghai Museum, a place where birds don't, pay someone to steal it, I'm afraid no one will come! ”

Director Ning was also furious, this thing always compares the treasures of the Forbidden City Museum, which is really disgusting.

Kong Lao and the others seemed to have become commonplace, and they didn't react much to this, but they still came out and made peace: "Hey! It's a great day, so don't make any noise! ”

The two old men died down, but the two pairs of eyes were still shooting at each other.

This little episode passed quickly, and the moment of excitement and anticipation came silently. Director Ning, Kong Lao, Ye Lao and other powerful people came to the stage together, and the huge venue began to open to people with invitations. Those media friends immediately aimed the cannon barrel at the stage, and the big screen behind the stage instantly lit up, and the quiet and gentle pure music "Mountains and Flowing Water" spread throughout the audience.

As the organizer, Director Ning cleared his throat, and then said into the microphone: "Colleagues from all over the world, guests from all walks of life, and many friends from Chinese and foreign media, good morning!" ”

After this polite sentence was finished, there was a thunderous applause below.

Director Ning continued, "I believe you already know what we are about today, right? That's right! Today is the first exhibition of the zodiac dragon jade carving. Everyone should be familiar with the jade carving of the 12 zodiac gods, and we have always thought it was just a legend. But the facts tell us that the legend is not groundless, our ancestors did create these twelve magical peerless jade carvings, and the most noble and mysterious dragon jade carvings were recently found in our Shanghai.

Okay, I believe everyone is impatient, so I won't be a villain and sweep everyone's Yaxing. Now the five antique masters of our country, as well as General Ye Lao and Mr. Dai Lao, unveil the mystery of the dragon and make the dragon come to the world! ”

It's useless to talk too much, so Director Ning will make a long story short. It is better to let the dragon come out in order to calm everyone's attention.

Kong Lao, Ye Lao and the other seven people held a glass bead on the stage together, and at the same time rotated the huge transparent bead. At this time, the red cloth over the center of the venue slowly slid down, and the true face of Lushan inside finally appeared in the eyes of the world.

I saw a huge transparent ball hanging on it, and a living dragon seemed to be swimming in it.

Hong Tianbao also secretly admired the person who designed the display method, that person was too clever. The jade dragon is not only in the crystal palace, but also magnified dozens of times by the transparent ball, so that more people can see the true demeanor of the jade dragon, and at the same time ensure the safety of the jade dragon.

The jade dragon raised its head to the sky, holding the dragon ball in its mouth, and the dragon ball faintly emitted a cyan light. It dances with one front paw, the momentum is terrifying, and the demeanor is sacred and solemn, which is worshipable!

As soon as the divine dragon came out, the entire venue fell into a frozen silence, and everyone, including those who didn't understand antiques, stared at the mighty jade dragon without blinking. After a long time, there were bursts of exclamations and praises in the venue.

However, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and the world is so big, it is impossible to be completely harmonious. At this time, a French reporter held up the microphone and said: "Actually, I don't understand your Chinese ancestors, the 12 zodiac signs are uneven, and even the poisonous snake, stupid pig, lowly dog and deceitful mouse are worshipped, it is really unreasonable!" Unlike us in the West, our animal signs are either heroic and ferocious, or intelligent and clever. ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire venue suddenly fell silent, and then the crowd erupted, and the saliva immediately drowned the reporter, and scolded the person to the blood.

Kong Lao, Ye Lao and the others were also angry, and Director Ning was so angry that he was smoking, and scolded this guy in his heart for not being human, and at the same time, he also greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the person who allowed this guy to enter.

Because the language used by the reporter was Chinese, although he spoke crookedly, Sun Moba could still understand it. Sun Moba wasn't actually angry, but he couldn't get used to seeing that guy's face and itchy hands. Therefore, as soon as he heard this, he immediately became angry and happy, and began to rub his fists again. Anyway, that guy has already caused public outrage, and if he beats him up for a while, no one should have an opinion, right?

When Hong Tianbao saw his expression, his eyelids jumped wildly, knowing that this guy was starting to go crazy again.

"Hey! Little overlord, you can't mess around, I don't object to you teaching that bastard a lesson, but the occasion is not suitable now. Bear with me, and when it's over, it's okay if you abuse that guy. "At this time, Hong Tianbao can't let Sun Moba come.

However, Hong Tianbao was also angry in his heart, and couldn't help but walk in front of the tall microphone. He cleared his throat and said, "Hearing this gentleman's words, I have to say that sir, you are in charge of the rules and regulations, and you don't know anything about Chinese culture, or you don't know anything about it. ”

Hong Tianbao stepped on the guy a few words first, saw that the audience's eyes were focused, and then said: "In our vast Chinese civilization, we have always paid attention to the golden mean, that is, a way of balance. When the world gets out of balance, it will collapse. They told future generations to walk in the middle way, to be impartial, to stand upright, and to stand in the middle of the time! ”

Hong Tianbao glanced at the guy and continued: "Being a man is also a truth, our ancestors warned us to be upright but not high; Kind but not cowardly; The city is not sleek; decisive but not reckless; Persistent but not stubborn; resourceful but not deceitful; Strong and gentle; The high standard should also be low-key; Can bend but also be able to stretch. ”

And the reporter didn't have a little consciousness at this time, and immediately interrupted Hong Tianbao and said: "You said so much, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with my topic, right?" ”

Hong Tianbao glanced at the audience, a momentum broke out, and said with a smile: "Please listen to me, and our ancestors created the zodiac according to the golden mean." Each zodiac sign represents a surname, and they use each zodiac sign to tell future generations to remember a principle of life. ”

All the Chinese present burst into a wave of applause, secretly admiring the calm and profound knowledge of this young man.

Hong Tianbao spoke again: "We must learn the reality of pigs and abandon their stupidity; also learn the wisdom of the dog, and abandon its subordinate work; You have to learn the wit of the rat and abandon its deceit; Be as strong and domineering as a dragon, and be able to bend and stretch like a snake; It needs to be as brave and fearless as a tiger, and as docile and gentle as a sheep. As the old saying goes: the most rigid and easy to break, the extreme of things must be reversed! That's what I'm talking about. ”

After saying this, the audience once again burst into applause, all of which were dedicated to this young man who was neither humble nor arrogant, and fought the basis of reason. Kong Lao and the other older generation all showed a look of relief, and expressed their satisfaction with Hong Tianbao's performance.

The reporter's white face immediately turned the color of pig liver, and he was soon "invited" out by Director Ning.
