Chapter 602: Master Engraving (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Mr. and the temple have won the award, although Zhiren's calligraphy has improved slightly, but when the pen is moving, it can't be done to the realm of the intention, it seems that it is still too deliberate!" Ning Zhiheng replied with a smile.
Hiroki Ito is also a scholar of both calligraphy and painting, and he also admires Ning Zhiheng's work, and privately thinks that in terms of brushstrokes, he is no longer under him, and even gets out of the dust and has new ideas.
He smiled and said: "Fujiwara-kun is not like us idlers, who only writes poems and paintings every day, talks about lyrics and composes music, but he also has to manage a huge business club, and he can still have such progress in his busy schedule, he is simply a genius!" ”
Everyone praised Ning Zhiheng one after another, and praised Ning Zhiheng a lot, they naturally had a lot of good feelings for Ning Zhiheng, in Japanese society, class differences are everywhere, and the top nobles occupy the highest position, and they are quite polite to these literati on the surface, but in fact they are just regarded as tools of vassal elegance.
And the aristocratic young man in front of him has always maintained enough respect for these literati and ink writers, and has integrated into them without disobedience, and his talent is enough for everyone to recognize.
Of course, more importantly, as soon as the president Fujiwara joined the Muran Society, he immediately bought a nearby piece of land with a lot of money, preparing to double the size of the Muran Society, and claimed to build this garden into the most high-end manor, as a landmark building in Shanghai, in order to increase the popularity of the Muran Society.
Ning Zhiheng now has a lot of money in his hands, and he doesn't care about these small money, and it is extremely beneficial to himself to be able to win the recognition of these people.
He opened his mouth and said: "My little skill is not enough to worry about, all of you here are my predecessors who I admire very much, and you are the target of my pursuit." ”
While everyone was talking to each other cordially, a man in his thirties walked in, and when he saw the joy of everyone's conversation, he also said loudly: "Everyone is in good spirits today, am I missing something?" ”
This one is Takayuki Takano, a well-known sculptor in Japan, and he is also a frequent visitor to the Muran Temple.
Hiroki Ito said with a smile: "Just now, Fujiwara-kun wrote a good volume of words with a stroke of a pen, and everyone is discussing, Takano-kun, you are late today!" ”
"I am convinced of Fujiwara-kun's calligraphy attainments! But first, take a look at what I learned! Takayuki Takano walked quickly to everyone, sat down, and excitedly took out a handbag, "Today I got a piece of fine jadeite, it's really rare!" ”
Obviously, Takayuki Takano was extremely happy with today's harvest, and specially showed off to everyone, after the handbag was opened, a piece of turquoise jade seven inches square was presented in front of everyone's eyes.
For a while, everyone was silent, this is really a rare piece of superb jadeite, crystal clear with delicate and bright jade, no matter from that angle you can see the green fluorescence emitted by the surface, gorgeous contains brilliance, with transparent agility.
"It's so beautiful!"
Everyone is amazed, the Japanese are actually very fond of jadeite, and their love is not below the Chinese, or even more so, so that in later generations, jadeite was even designated as the national stone of Japan.
They believed that jadeite jade had mysterious effects in addition to its decorative function, and used it as a treasure and was commonly used for rituals and other functions.
However, because there is no high-quality jadeite produced in Japan, the texture of the jadeite produced is very rough, the density is also very poor, and the color is very monotonous, mostly milky white or off-white, so it is very rare to get a high-quality jadeite.
Just like the jade hook jade that Ning Zhiheng seized three years ago, it is an extremely rare gem in Japan, and it is also very rare among Japanese aristocratic jewelry.
Ning Zhiheng stretched out his hand and gently tapped this piece of jade with his fingers, and the sound quality was crisp, quite in line with the characteristics of jade golden sound, and he couldn't help but admire: "The texture of this jade is pure and delicate, as clear and transparent as glass, this is a rare treasure, Gao Yejun, your luck is really good!" ”
Everyone also praised this, and Ito Hiroki said with a smile: "Takano-kun, you are a famous carver, this piece of jade is handed over to you to carve, it is just right, congratulations!" ”
Takayuki Takano looked at the envious eyes of everyone, and his heart was extremely complacent, he held this piece of jade in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is not for my own use, this is a gift I am going to give to my teacher, I believe it will definitely satisfy the old man!" ”
Takayuki Takano is a well-known sculptor in the Japanese art world, and his teacher Kanda Tamayama is the top carving master in Japan, with exquisite carving skills, and has always been a master of Japan's national treasure.
Terauchihiko's eyes showed a look of envy, nodded and said: "It turned out to be a treasure for Master Kanda, it was really given to the right person, it seems that it won't be long before a masterpiece will be born!" ”
"Is Takano-kun planning to return to China in the near future?" Kuroki Yue asked out loud, he had a good relationship with Kanda Yushan, "Then you must say hello to Mr. Kanda for me, we haven't seen each other for six years!" ”
Takayuki Takano couldn't help but laugh when he heard Kuroki say this, and said, "Mr. Kuroki still personally asked the teacher to say hello, and the teacher sent me a telegram, saying that he would go abroad and come to Shanghai in the near future. ”
"Master Kanda will come to Shanghai?"
"I don't know if there's anything important?"
"Yes, Mr. Kanda is a highly respected national treasure-level master, and he didn't expect to come to Shanghai suddenly."
Takayuki Takano's words caused a sensation in everyone, and they all asked.
Takayuki Takano also shook his head and replied: "I don't know the specific reason, and the telegram doesn't explain it, but this is a good thing, when the time comes, please bother with everyone to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the teacher together!" ”
"Where, the arrival of Master Kanda is a big event for our Muran Academy, and we must welcome it well!"
"Yes, yes, everything is fine!"
Ning Zhiheng was not clear about the situation in the Japanese art world, but seeing that everyone admired Kanda Yushan so much, he thought that he was a master of high status, and now he just wanted to get in touch with such a person, and if he could make friends with him, it would be of great benefit to him.
So Ning Zhiheng opened his mouth and said: "I think this is a big thing, why don't we gather all the art colleagues in Shanghai here on the day of Master Kanda's arrival, and hold a beautiful welcome banquet, and our Fujiwara Club has enough manpower, so how about leaving it to me to handle?" ”
When everyone heard it, they all slapped their hands in agreement, and there was no problem for them to chant poems and paint, and compose lyrics and music, but it was too reluctant to contact specific affairs, and now Fujiwara Tomohito was willing to come forward, and he couldn't ask for it, so he nodded his head again and again.
Takayuki Takano came here to ask everyone to support the scene for the arrival of the teacher, so that his face would be bright, and now he saw that everyone was very enthusiastic, and his heart was naturally overjoyed.
He bowed down and saluted Ning Zhiheng and said, "Please Fujiwara-kun for everything, thank you so much!" ”
"Takano-kun, it's too polite, please introduce Master Kanda to me when the time comes, I've admired it for a long time!" Ning Zhiheng said with a smile.
In the office of Ryoko Kitaoka, the head of the intelligence team of the Japanese Special High School in Shanghai, Kohei Uemura was reporting information to Ryoko Kitaoka and handed the note in his hand to Ryoko Kitaoka.
"Team leader, now that we have begun to monitor these two locations, I believe that we will soon be able to find out who their organization is, but unfortunately it is not our sphere of influence, and with our current strength, we can't take strong measures against them." Kohei Uemura said with some regret.
In this case, if it is in the downtown area of Shanghai, it is much easier to deal with it, go directly to the door to arrest, interrogate the accomplices under torture, and then send enough personnel to arrest them, just like the last time they attacked the Shanghai intelligence station.
But this time, the opponent is hiding in the French Concession, and the strength is far above himself, once the opponent is alarmed, he will immediately be counterattacked by the opponent, causing a fatal blow, so everything can only be done carefully.
Ryoko Kitaoka looked at the note in her hand and smiled with satisfaction: "You guys did a very good job, especially Yoko, she is the first credit, we finally touched each other's true bodies again, this time we must return a tooth for a tooth, find out their lair, and then use a thunder blow, we must not let them escape again!" ”
Kitaoka Ryoko has been busy with the completion of the Eclipse Moon Project during this time, and everything is going relatively smoothly, and now she has received a report from Kohei Uemura, which is really a good thing, and I am very happy in my heart.
For the last time the intelligence team was wiped out, Kitaoka Ryoko was angry, and she lost sixteen elites brought from the North China Headquarters at once, which was extremely heart-wrenching, and this time she must take revenge and deal a heavy blow to the mysterious secret service force.
Kitaoka Ryoko then instructed: "As soon as there is definite news, you report it to me immediately, and we will organize enough operatives to enter the French Concession and wipe them out!" ”
"Hey, I'll find their lair as soon as possible!" Uemura replied respectfully.
