Chapter 2064 Congratulations to Zihou, congratulations to Zihou
"Report, quickly report to your lord, Zhao Wenhua, the imperial envoy of the patrol, has arrived at the governor's Yamen." An officer hurried to the Zhejiang Army's camp and sent an urgent message at the door.
After receiving the news, Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to leave in a hurry from the Zhejiang Army camp and rush to the governor's Yamen to meet Zhao Wenhua.
I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, not to mention that Zhao Wenhua, a villain, will still influence the political situation in Jiangnan for some time to come. If you offend him, it will be difficult for you to display your talents in Jiangnan, and your ambition will be difficult to realize.
So, after hearing that Zhao Wenhua had arrived at the governor's Yamen, Zhu Ping'an immediately rode back.
When he arrived at the governor's Yamen, Zhu Ping'an got off his horse, threw it to the servant, and hurried to the hall.
The door of the hall was not closed, and from a distance, Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian were sitting and drinking tea, laughing and chatting about current events.
"Students pay homage to Master Zhao. Master Zhao came with Master Hu to guide him. The students inspected the Zhejiang Army camp and were unable to greet him from afar. Please forgive me." Zhu Pingan walked quickly and held his disciple in his hand at the door. See Zhao Wenhua today.
Having been corrected many times by Zhao Wenhua, in fact he could barely be considered a master. Zhu Pingan did not wait for Zhao Wenhua to correct him and directly called him Master Zhao. It's just a title, if it can paralyze Zhao Wenhua, that would be great.
"Get up, get up, Zihou has come all the way from the camp. He is traveling in such a hurry. I see you are out of breath. Sit down quickly and have a sip of tea."
Zhao Wenhua stood up from his seat, took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to help Zhu Ping'an up. He turned his back on guests and said with concern.
"Thank you Master Zhao."
Zhu Ping'an thanked him, and then he and Hu Zongxian bowed their hands to each other, "Master Hu."/"Master Zhu."
"Sit down quickly Drink tea to moisten your throat." Zhao Wenhua poured a cup of tea with his own hands and invited Zhu Pingan to use it.
"Thank you Master Zhao." Zhu Ping'an took the tea, thanked Zhao Wenhua, sat down, and took a few sips to moisten his throat without being polite.
"Meilin and I came here mainly to congratulate Zihou. One or two congratulatory letters cannot express our congratulations, so we came together to congratulate you in person." Zhao Wenhua said with a smile.
"Haha, yes, congratulations to Mr. Zhu, double happiness is really enviable." Hu Zongxian also stood up with a smile and thanked Zhu Pingan.
"Double happiness?" Zhu Ping'an was slightly startled. What you mean by "double happiness" is that double happiness.
"Haha, first of all, this first blessing is to congratulate Zihou on making the tiles. It's so gratifying to have the Qilin son shining brightly on the lintel, and the charming girl to greet you." Zhao Wenhua smiled and said to him. Zhu Pingan thanked him.
Zhao Wenhua thanked him and waved to the door, and immediately someone came in holding a gift box.
Zhao Wenhua took the gift box and opened it. Two pairs of finely crafted and shining small gold locks lay inside.
A pair of small gold locks are engraved with the words "long life and wealth" and are shaped like a carp jumping over a dragon gate. They are vivid and exquisite.
A pair of small gold locks are engraved with the words "Longevity and Longevity". They are shaped like a begonia, surrounded by gold and surrounded by green emeralds. The emeralds are carved with algae and the emeralds are carved with emeralds to hold and wash beauty makeup.
Looking at the heavy weight, especially with such fine workmanship, these two long-life locks must be worth a lot of money.
“These two longevity locks are given to virtuous nephews and nieces to ward off disasters and evil spirits, to bring longevity and wealth to the palace.”
Zhao Wenhua handed the gift box to Zhu Pingan, smiled and congratulated.
"Thank you Master Zhao, this is too expensive." Zhu Ping'an thanked Zhao Wenhua and declined politely.
"Well, if you still call me Master Zhao, how can I not celebrate my good nephew and niece, or say Zihou, you don't recognize me as Master Zhao?"
Zhao Wenhua pretended to be angry.
"Haha, Mr. Zhu, it is a gift given by the elders, but I dare not say it; if it is disrespectful to say it, I deserve it." Hu Zongxian said with a smile.
"Well, then I will be disrespectful and thank Master Zhao on behalf of my children." Zhu Pingan accepted Zhao Wenhua's gift and thanked him.
"Master Zhu, this is the picture of pine, crane and golden tortoise of Tang Bohu and Tang Dynasty in this dynasty. I give it to my nephew and niece. I wish my nephew and niece good luck, longevity, good health, strong growth and a bright future. "It's like a brocade."
Hu Zongxian took out two scrolls from his sleeves and gave them to Zhu Pingan, congratulating Zhu Pingan on his two children.
"Thank you, Mr. Hu. I won't be polite." Zhu Pingan accepted the two paintings sent by Hu Zongxian with a smile.
This is Tang Bohu's work, Tang Bohu's authentic work, passed down from generation to generation, a proper heirloom.
Zhu Ping'an remembers clearly that in 1989, Tang Bohu's work "Still Mountains and Long Days" was auctioned at the famous auction house Christie's. At that time, the auction house's estimate was 150 million, and the unit was still US dollars. According to the exchange rate at that time, converted into RMB, that would be nearly 500 million RMB.
Well, yes, the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar at that time was still quite high.
In 1990, Tang Bohu's "Moon Spring Picture" was auctioned at the auction house. The auction price was 56 million US dollars. There were also "Ancient Wood, Bamboo and Stone", "Bamboo in the Rain" and "Ge Changgeng Picture" at the auction house. They all sold for 10 million, 28 million and 65 million US dollars, and these are all US dollars.
In modern times, the authentic works of Tang Bohu are of the average level of nearly 100 million people.
The two paintings "Picture of Pines and Cranes" and "Picture of Golden Turtle" have been passed down from generation to generation. Even if there are a few incompetent descendants in the later generations, these two paintings alone are enough for them to make a comeback, make a comeback, and make a comeback. I have raised my flag twice.
Well, we need to roll out more of the people of this dynasty, such as Xu Wei, Hu Zongxian, Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, etc., roll out a few more of their works and pass them on, they are all heirlooms Ah, to increase the family heritage, just this, my ancestor has made countless merits.
“Oh, I really envy Mr. Zhu. He has two sons and a daughter. Unlike me, the three leading boys at home are mischievous and rebel at home all day long. I am really worried to death. I am so envious. Hou has both sons and daughters, not only a Qilin son, but also a caring little cotton-padded jacket." Hu Zongxian looked at Zhu Pingan with envy and said.
"Haha, Mr. Hu is very capable. No matter how hard he works, it won't be a problem to have several daughters. Why should he envy me." Zhu Pingan joked with a smile.
"Haha, Zihou, don't tell me. To be honest with you, after the first bastard boy was born, I really followed this idea and kept working hard. Who would have thought that the second child would be another bastard boy? ; Then I thought about it again and again and again, and tried harder. Well, here comes another bastard. You don’t know Zihou, three bastards are just three bastards. World Demon King, if you don't pay attention to the house and roof for three days, and have to interrupt their household chores every now and then, if you don't get into trouble once for ten and a half months, you can just burn incense and thank God for your ancestors. I don't dare to work harder. , If you give me another boy, I will definitely lose several years of my life." Hu Zongxian replied with a wry smile, and frowned involuntarily when he mentioned the three sons in his family.
