Chapter 70: Plans Can't Keep Up with Change
When Yu Lifei returned home, it was already past twelve o'clock. Although it was a bit hard, he felt very fulfilling. I just bought the store, and it was on the stock right away, and I also sold a stone, which can be described as a good start. Although Su Dahai didn't buy the four embroidered screens in the end, he felt that even if he couldn't sell them in the future, it would be a scenery in the store.
After entering the door, he found Huang Yan lying in the living room watching TV. She slept all day today, and at night she was so energetic that she couldn't sleep at all. And tomorrow, she and Wu Jiaqi don't have to go to work, and they can sleep for another day. Seeing Yu Lifei coming in, he just raised his head lazily. It's not that I look down on a security guard, but I mainly think that she and Yu Lifei may not have anything to do with each other. In front of him, there is no need to scruple about anything, let alone pretend to be a lady.
"Coming back?" Although Huang Yan only glanced at it hurriedly, she saw that Yu Lifei was covered in mud, and his face was also gray, and he didn't know which nest he was in at night.
"Hmm." Yu Lifei responded, "Haven't slept yet?" ”
"I can't sleep." Huang Yan sighed resentfully, she is not very comfortable with the current single life, and her boyfriend's affairs have not been dealt with yet. Plus another day of sleep during the day, it's really boring now.
"Below me, will you eat?" Yu Lifei asked, since he came back from Li Xuanmo, he has been feeling hungry. When he was in the store, he once proposed to go for a supper, but Su Dahai, Wu Jiashan, Qi Yunsheng and Zeng Da opposed it in unison, at their age, they have begun to pay attention to health, and they will never eat anything at night.
"Eat." Huang Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong, and two colorful flowers appeared on her face, and she suddenly remembered some kind of picture in her mind. just saw that Yu Lifei was unintentional, so she had no choice but to make her wrong.
She's the kind of person who doesn't get fat no matter how much she eats, and she used to wipe out a lot of retail every night when she watched TV. But here in Wu Jiaqi, I can't find a biscuit if I want to eat it.
"I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be really good, and the food you cook should be delicious, right?" Huang Yan took a bite of the noodles and immediately forgot about the unhappiness just now. At the same time, I feel that Wu Jiaqi really won't enjoy it, with such a good man by his side, why don't he know how to cherish it? Even if Yu Lifei's income is low, falling in love is a spiritual and physical enjoyment. In addition, Yu Lifei can cook good meals, and he can also save himself from eating MSG outside every day.
"It's okay, I'll make it for you one day when I have the chance." Yu Lifei fried two poached eggs for each person, and it was a big bowl of noodles, and he ate it just right. But I didn't expect Huang Yan to eat it all.
"Then it's settled. Don't look at me like that, who made your noodles so delicious. Huang Yan touched her belly, saw Yu Lifei looking at her, and remembered what he had just said, and her face rarely showed a shy flush.
Yu Lifei felt that Huang Yan was arrogant at first, he was a very traditional person, and he always stayed away from such girls. But just now, I thought she was very cute and not hypocritical.
The next day, Yu Lifei went out very early, bought a shop yesterday, and put the goods on again in the evening. This is the first time in his life that he has started a business, and he has been very excited at night.
"Less, why so early?" Wu Wengu wanted to go for a walk by the river, but he didn't expect to see Yu Lifei from afar.
"Elder Wu, are you going to do morning exercises?" Yu Lifei was thinking that he would find an opportunity to explain to Wu Wengu today that since he had bought the store, there was no need to do the job of the museum.
"Yes, you came out for morning exercise so early?" Wu Wengu glanced at Yu Lifei and asked.
"I'm just walking around." Yu Lifei smiled.
"If you don't mind, then walk with me, an old man." Wu Wengu said.
"It's good." Yu Lifei followed Wu Wengu's side.
"Less, your boy bathing cow ornament has been repaired, will you come to my house at night to get it, or will I take it to the museum for you?" Wu Wengu said that he carefully observed the ornament of the boy bathing cow and found that there were traces of things in it, but Yu Lifei didn't say it, so he didn't ask.
"Xie Lu, Xie Wu, I'll go to your house to get it at night." Yu Lifei said gratefully that such a thing and the Zigang jade worn around his neck could communicate with his thinking, which really made him puzzled. So the boy bathing cow picture ornament and Zigang Yu, he never planned to make a move.
"There is one more thing I want to tell you, your "Nanyue Old Manuscript", I have donated it to the museum in your name. At that time, Director Chai promised me one condition, which was to transfer you to the museum. I didn't discuss this matter with you at the time, but I think that if you can have an organization, it will be very beneficial for your future development. Wu Wengu said slowly. As a rural person, Yu Lifei would be a good choice if he could become a regular employee of the museum. If Chai Hongwei hadn't put forward such a condition, I'm afraid he would not have donated the "Nanyue Old Manuscript" to the museum, and in his heart, he felt that the Provincial Museum was the best destination for the "Nanyue Old Manuscript".
"Old Wu, I have already given you the book, why do you still donate it in my name?" Yu Lifei said embarrassedly.
"Since it's my book, it's up to me what I do with it, right?" Wu Wengu smiled slyly.
"But ......" Yu Lifei was very moved, although Wu Wengu nominally accepted his "Nanyue Old Manuscript", but in fact he transferred it to himself in another way. For this donation, I didn't receive any fees, and the only requirement was to officially enter the museum. This makes him want to quit his job, how can he say it?
"Why, you seem a little upset?" Wu Wengu saw Yu Lifei drooping his head and asked.
"No, I originally planned to discuss with you and resign today." Yu Lifei said that no one had ever told him about it, so this matter was not in his plan.
"For what? Found something else? Wu Wengu said with some displeasure. He was a little disappointed in Lifei, although he picked up a few leaks and made some money, he couldn't forget about it as soon as he had money.
"I bought a shop at the antique market yesterday and I'm going to open an antique shop." Yu Lifei said.
"Did you buy the calf's shop?" Wu Wengu immediately knew the reason, although he didn't come to the antique market much, but if there was anything going on here, he would soon be able to know the way.
"Yes." Yu Lifei was secretly funny, last night's people shouted that the boss of the cow was an "old cow", and when he arrived at Wu Wengu, he became a "calf".
"The price is a bit expensive, but fortunately, there is still room for appreciation in the future." Wu Wengu obviously knew that Yu Lifei bought it for 250,000 yuan.
"Elder Wu, you are really well-informed. I received four embroidery screens last night, and I don't know much about this, when are you free, can you help me palm my eyes? Yu Lifei said.
"Oh, I just bought the store and got on the goods, small, you have a wide range." Wu Wengu was a little surprised and said that many antique shops are slowly entering, Yu Lifei has only been in contact with antiques for a long time, and he is suddenly about to open a store. But unexpectedly, he just bought the shop and immediately put it on the goods.
"I happened to know a shovel, and he came back yesterday after receiving the goods, so he went to see it." Yu Lifei said.
"Well, if you want to get good goods, you have to deal with these shovels a lot, and you have to have a good relationship. Doing an antique business is not the same as collecting. To do business, to receive and ship, to maintain a balance. If you collect more and sell less, the financial pressure will be great. If you collect less and sell more, there is no goods to sell. Wu Wengu reminded.
"Xie Lu Xie Wu Lao teachings, I must pay attention." Yu Lifei said sincerely.
"Let's not go to the riverside, let's go to your store." Wu Wengu said that many people think it is very difficult to let him identify. But as long as he has time, he likes to help others identify. First, you can get in touch with antiques, and secondly, you can broaden your horizons. Of course, if you show him some new imitations every day, he will naturally refuse. For example, Ren Jingtian, he basically doesn't help Ren Jingtian see things.
"Screen", also known as screen door or barrier, refers to a screen located between doors and windows. Most of the houses in ancient times were in the form of civil courtyards, which were certainly not as solid and dense as modern houses with reinforced concrete structures. Therefore, in order to block the wind, the ancients began to make furniture such as screens, and placed screens behind the bed or on both sides of the bed to achieve the effect of blocking the wind. Han Liuxi's "Interpretation of Names. "Relief of the bed tent" said: "Screen, words can block the wind." That is to say, the screen has the function of blocking the wind, sheltering, and compartments.
The screen is generally placed in a prominent position indoors to play a role. It and classical furniture complement each other, complement each other, and become an inseparable whole of home decoration, presenting a harmonious beauty and quiet beauty. There are various forms of production of screens, mainly vertical screens, folding screens, etc. Then came the interstitial screen purely as an ornament, which was petite and delicate, and it was very interesting.
In ancient times, the princes and nobles were very particular about the production of screens, using mica, crystal, glass and other materials, and in the inlay process, using ivory, jade, enamel, jade, gold and silver and other valuables. It's the ultimate in luxury. However, most of the folk screen production advocates practicality and simplicity. There are many furnishings and screens, and since the Wei and Jin dynasties, this wind has flourished.
The Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi once wrote "The Ballad of Suping" and said: "There is no Li Yang Bing seal inscription, Zhang Xu's handwriting, Bian Luan's flowers and birds, and Zhang Zao's turquoise. It shows its admiration for plain screens. Compared with the Huaping of the Emperor's House, the folk plain screen is really unique and leisurely.
"These four folding screens are good." Wu Wengu just glanced at the four screens, nodded immediately, and said. Although he didn't look closely, these four screens gave him the feeling that they should be old things.
"Wu Lao, what is a folding screen?" Yu Lifei asked.
"Folding screen, also known as curved screen. It consists of multiple sash connections and is collapsible. There is also a difference between flat plate and groove in shape. Generally, it is an even number combination, such as four screens, six screens, eight screens, twelve screens, and so on. Each leaf is connected by a hook. It can be curved or straight when placed, and it is more flexible. Your four screens are also hooked together, and you try to combine them to see. Wu Wengu said that now these four screens are just placed against the wall at random, and the overall effect cannot be seen.
"Elder Wu, this screen is still so exquisite." Yu Lifei asked while fiddling with the screen.
"Of course, in addition to folding screens, there are also interstitial screens, also known as seat screens. It is shaped like a vertical mirror, with a seat frame under it, and the screen is inserted into the base. The shape is more high-end and complex, and it is also equipped with a top hat, and the base is equipped with standing teeth, which is combined, which is magnificent and easy to disassemble and assemble. There are also screens and bases that are integrated, but most of them are small.
The small seat screen can be placed in a family with a large living room area, acting as a shadow wall or a light wall, avoiding opening the door to the hall, and also bringing out the artistic atmosphere of the living room; The large seat screen is often three fans, there are also five fans, generally the middle one is the largest and the highest, and the height of both sides decreases in turn, showing the shape of "mountain", so it is called "mountain screen". After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the screen center of many single-leaf seat screens was changed to mirrors, commonly known as 'dressing mirrors'. There are also smaller seat screens, which are called 'inkstone screens' on desks, 'kang screens' when stored on kangs, and 'lamp screens' that block candles. Wu Wengu said.
"I didn't expect there to be so many types of screens." Yu Lifei had seen these screens in books before, but he didn't have an actual concept, and many times he knew the name of the Dao, but he didn't know what it was.
"This is only from the size of the production of the division, if from the material and technology division, there are already lacquer screens, wood carving screens, stone screens, silk screens, mica screens, glass screens, glass screens, bamboo and rattan screens, metal screens, inlaid enamel screens, inlaid magnetic screens and so on. In terms of subject matter, there are historical allusions, literary masterpieces, religious myths, folklore, landscape figures, dragons, phoenixes, flowers and birds, and calligraphy and painting.
In addition, there is a kind of Bogu screen. In terms of subject matter, compared with the widely used themes such as figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, 'Bogu' takes antique utensils and exquisite accessories as the theme, and is mostly accompanied by flower arrangement, which has a bookish atmosphere and is elegant and chic. In terms of meaning, it has the meaning of 'only knowledge and learning from the ancients, and naturalism can pass through the heavens, the earth and people'. Wu Wengu said eloquently.
"Old Wu, tell me about this embroidered screen." Yu Lifei said that he tried his best to memorize every word Wu Wengu said, knowing that learning opportunities like this are not available at any time.
