Chapter 1275 Talents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
"Huh? Why?" Zhou Zhi felt strange.
“Because today is different from the past, everyone in Panjiayuan knows the two elders.” Ma Ye said cheerfully: “Everything that Mr. Wang picks up and looks at, the seller dares to double it when he puts it down. The old man saw it!"
"Huh? Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi couldn't help it. Is this still happening these days?
Mr. Wang was a little angry: "Pan Jiayuan? Are you so sure?"
"Well... although there is less floor space, there are also a lot of porcelain calligraphy and paintings in the Shu University Museum." Zhou Zhi felt that Mr. Wang looked down on him a little, and quickly assured: "The eyesight should not be degraded... too much..."
“I mean Your exam! Are you so confident?" Mr. Wang was really angry: "Didn't you say you were just here to take the exam? You still have time to play?"
Calm down your anger." Zhou Zhi quickly comforted him: "This. For our mainland students, the main difficulty with GRE is their Chinese language. "This Chinese language mainly depends on daily accumulation, not on sprinting before the test," Zhou Zhi explained: "It's like us. Like my own language, those poems It is not possible to memorize lyrics, songs, prose and novels. In fact, it is the same in any country."
"I don't understand you very well, but I also called Wei Yi and Wu Qiaomu. Yes, they can’t stand your bullying!”
"I really didn't deceive you..."
"What are you deceiving?" Just as the two men were arguing, two people walked in from the door. The man was tall and strong, and he had the temperament of the youth of the May 4th Republic of China. , the woman is petite, with a pretty and gentle face, but she looks like a standard gentle beauty from southern Sichuan. It was Wei Yi and Wu Qiaomu.
"Sister Yi, adopted brother." Zhou Zhi stood up: "Long time no see, you didn't go back this holiday?"
"I just joined the work, there are a lot of things." Wei Yi He was very happy to see Zhou Zhi: "Qiao Mu helped me move the dormitory and buy furniture, so I couldn't go back this winter vacation."
As he said this, he pulled Zhou Zhi's sleeve and took a closer look: "My elbows seem to be too long. It’s too high.”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, these are the talents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs..." Zhou Zhi watched the energetic Wei Yi looking up and down, exclaiming in admiration.
This young lady almost has the highest starting point after graduating from Jiachuan's current school. Because of her excellent academic performance and outstanding temperament, she was directly recruited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after graduating from graduate school.
As for why people recruited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are "temporarily training" under the name of Xinhua News Agency reporters, Zhou Zhi doesn't understand, and Zhou Zhi doesn't dare to ask.
However, Miss Wei Yi's talent and temperament have been thoroughly tempered. Her whole body shows the confidence and cheerfulness of an elite. Her eyebrows and eyes seem to have become clear and bright, and her expression is flying when she looks around. It's completely different from how it was in school.
“Sister Yi just happened to come to testify for me whether I can pass the GRE test by reviewing temporarily.”
"That's not true." Wei Yi imparted his experience: "But there are still some skills in taking this test. You still need to pay attention to it for your first reference."
After saying that, he took the test from Wu Qiaomu's backpack. I found a thick pile of test papers: "At the end of last year, a training school for studying abroad opened in the capital. I have classmates giving lectures there. They have a method for TOEFL and IELTS."
"Although GRE is still No, but I also asked the Ministry My colleagues helped me find some. Just do it in the next few days. Hurry, you will enter the examination room on Thursday."
Zhou Zhi held the paper and sighed speechlessly: "I asked you. Testify for me that you don’t have to sharpen your weapon in battle, not for You arranged for me to sharpen my skills before the battle..."
"Be obedient, just endure these two days and it will be over." Wei Yi looked very happy: "Qiao Mu is also struggling now, he is also preparing to graduate school. .”
"That's right. A master's degree will not be the end of our studies for my sworn brother." Zhou Zhi found a balance in his mind: "Oh no, I have to go through the real estate handover procedures with Brother Jesse in the next two days..." "These things Just leave it to us," Mr. Ma said. Said: "Let Lao Feng and Lao Pan make a few calls, and I will run errands with Xiao Yi. It should be simple."
"I have nothing to do here." Jesse Cheng also quickly expressed his position: "I'm just waiting for Li Laoer and Li Laoer tomorrow Lin Wanqiu came over to have a meeting with the Radio, Film and Television Industry Administration to discuss the use of locations in various parts of the country for "Zodiac". Do you want to participate?"
"I won't go, right? Waiting for Sister Wanqiu and Li Er When I'm free, I definitely want to pay a visit."
"Wanqiu, you really should thank me." Mr. Ma nodded: "In order to find a piece of Jun kiln porcelain for you, it was a big waste. So cool.”
"What a pity, it's still not from the Song Dynasty." Zhou Zhi still felt very regretful.
Though the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, Jun kiln has not yet received it.
But the more you want to look for it, the harder it is to find it. This thing is extremely rare in existence. Except for a dozen pieces in museums, it is widely known that it is lost among the people, and you can hardly get a slap on it.
Zhou Zhi had a few pieces of porcelain imitating the aesthetics of the Jun kiln, including a Qing Kangxi cowpea red kiln that turned into a pomegranate statue, a Yongzheng imperial kiln that turned into rose purple to imitate a Jun kiln tripod, and a Qianlong kiln that turned into a glazed apple. respect.
The best and closest among them is the Yongzheng Imperial Kiln tripod.
"Hurry up and take it out for everyone to take a look at." Mr. Qi said with a smile: "Coming here to see you this time is secondary, seeing the object is the main thing."
"I haven't even seen that thing yet. "Yes, I'm eagerly waiting for Master Ma to come over." Zhou Zhi said, "But the order of things is clear."< br>
While Mr. Ma was going to get something from the safe upstairs in the back hall, Zhou Zhi introduced the origin of this thing: "Mr. Qiu from Hong Kong Island is the collector with the richest collection of folk Jun kilns. Unfortunately, the old man lost his fortune in the 1980s. After his death, his family sent Mr. Qiu’s collection to the auction house for auction. A large Jun kiln bowl with blue glaze was auctioned for HKD 3.7 million in 1980. "
"A few years ago, the enemy's family had plans to immigrate, and they once again began to plunder the things left by the old man. , which contains a Jun kiln blue-gray glaze colorful bowl."
"Sister Wanqiu knew it. I told Sister Wanqiu that I must take it." Zhou Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "It's thanks to the economic downturn, and this bowl, regardless of its size or appearance, is not as good as the one from thirteen years ago. Compared to the large Jun kiln bowl with only blue glaze, I got it for just over half the price that year.”
The economy of Hong Kong Island has begun to experience instability in recent years. A large number of middle class and wealthy people have begun to immigrate, causing the exchange rates of gold and the US dollar to rise, while the prices of arts and crafts, cultural relic collections, and real estate have repeatedly declined.
Mr. Wang made fun of him: "You get a bargain but still behave well! As the saying goes, 'If a Jun is not decorated with red, you will be poor for the rest of your life'. You are just a Jun kiln with red!"
Everyone laughed a lot. Well, at this time, Mr. Ma had already come downstairs, with a small blue cloth-veneered handicraft box in his hand.
Putting a tweed tablecloth on the table, Mr. Ma opened the box, took out an old colorful bowl, and placed it gently on the table.
This is a very simple small bowl. In addition to the wonderful color of the glaze, the rest can even be described as rough.
The height of the small bowl is only seven centimeters, the diameter is twice the height, 14 centimeters, and the full diameter is five centimeters. Its size is not much different from the small bowls used for eating in later generations' homes.
