Chapter 1316 Breaking one's word


Chapter 1316 Breaking a promise

By the time the topic was discussed and the contract was signed, the day had passed. As the host, Yao Chong naturally wanted to treat the guests and then talk about the arrangements for the next day.

Zhou Zhi proposed that he would like to visit the museum.

Suzhou Jade Carving Factory is an important supplier to art and crafts shops all over the country, and art and crafts shops and museums are closely related, so this matter is simple for the jade carving factory, and it happens to be Sunday. Sixth, Yao Chong decided to personally accompany Zhou Zhi to the city museum.

Seeing Yao Chong's promise that there would be no problem, Zhou Zhi didn't quite believe it, but he was also full of expectations.

Early the next morning, Yao Chong drove Santana from the jade carving factory and took Zhou Zhi to the city museum.

The car made many twists and turns, and finally came to a small alley. Entering the alley, there was a large courtyard with a signboard of "Gusu City Museum" hanging on it.

The museum in Suzhou City was amazing in the time and space of Zhou Zhi's previous life. It was designed by Master Pei and was built at a huge cost.

But that was about two thousand years ago, and the current museum is still old. Like the museums in Shu city, it is not too obvious.

However, Suzhou City is not a provincial capital city, but it can still become a first-class museum, which shows that its heritage is also extraordinary.

"Old Chen!" Yao Chong seemed to be very familiar with this place. He waved to a middle-aged man wearing a simple Chinese tunic suit sitting on the steps of the gate: "We are here."

"Welcome. "The man named Lao Chen said welcome, but there was no real enthusiasm in his expression and tone: "Hey, didn't you say you have an important guest?"

"That's it," Yao He rushed to introduce the two of them: "This is Mr. Zhou Zhizhou, please Although he is young, he is an important customer of our jade carving factory and has just placed a big order with us.”

“Mr. Zhou, this is my good friend, Chen Shaochong, the director of the Municipal Museum.”

“ Hello, Mr. Chen, I have admired your collection for a long time. I just had the opportunity to come to Suzhou on a business trip. I heard that Brother Yao said that I have a good relationship with you, so I shamelessly asked him to come and have a look. It is really troublesome for you. .”

"There's no trouble." Seeing that although Zhou Zhi was young, his words were quite pleasant, Chen Shaochong's face became much brighter, but he already knew that Zhou Zhi was from Sichuan, so he didn't believe that he would really treat Gusu How much do you know about the museum’s collection: “Our museum’s collection There are quite a few. I don’t know which ones Xiao Zhou is interested in, so we can make special arrangements.”

The SZ Municipal Museum is nothing special for ordinary visitors, compared to the Shaanxi History Museum and the National Museum. , the Forbidden City is not even a little bit off.

But for Zhou Zhi, this is a place that cannot be bypassed, because for Zhou Zhi's two major strengths in the collection of cultural relics - ceramics and calligraphy and painting, Suzhou is a place that cannot be bypassed. Open place.

The Suzhou Museum has many bronze ritual vessels from the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu swords, jades, Song Dynasty Buddha statues, golden pagodas, pagoda statues and many other national first-class cultural relics, but these are not of Zhou Zhi's great concern.

So Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "If it's not too troublesome, Brother Chen, I would like to take a look at the collection of celadon from the Six Dynasties, secret color porcelain from the Five Dynasties, blue and white porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, sweet white, sprinkled blue, yellow ground green glaze, etc. Porcelain;"

"In addition, there are purple clay wares made by Chen Mingyuan, Peng Nian and others from the Qing Dynasty, which are rare even in the National Museum and the Forbidden City."

"There is also the pastel porcelain from Jurentang , which is the legendary Hongxian porcelain, the so-called "official kiln of the Republic of China". I also want to see a type of porcelain that is even rarer than Mao porcelain.” “In addition to porcelain and calligraphy and painting, there were two painting schools that played an important role in the history of Chinese painting in the Suzhou area—the Wumen School of Painting in the Ming Dynasty and the Yangzhou School of Painting in the Qing Dynasty. School of painting. I know that you have a lot of their paintings in your collection, and I hope to see them. Insights. ”

“In addition, as a famous distribution center for Su Zuo, the ancient lacquer ware, jade ware, bamboo and wood horn ware, etc. in the museum are all exquisitely made. Known for not sparing no expense... Forget it, if you don't have enough time, save these for next time... ..."

"Xiao Zhou can do it!" Chen Shaochong heard that Zhou Zhi said it was so troublesome. Instead of being impatient, Chen Shaochong was a little happy: "To be honest, many of us locals don't know as well as you. It seems you have done your homework in advance.”

"Mr. Zhou is a great expert." Yao Chong actually didn't know the details of Zhou Zhi, but from his exchange with Mr. Xu yesterday, he also knew that this baby was definitely not simple. He took it out of the box and left it for the factory to observe the three counterfeit products. A piece of jade, Mr. Xu asked to put it in the safe, because it must be a good thing worth hundreds of thousands.

"Really?" Chen Shaochong said with a smile: "The porcelain is all in the exhibition hall. If you want to see it, you can go to the exhibition hall to see it, but you can't get started."

"As for the ancient paintings, they are now in the exhibition hall. We are organizing the review work before restoration. In this way, Xiao Zhou, can you try to name a few paintings? You want to name one , I will show you one."

"Chen Xiaochong, please stop making trouble!" Yao Chong was not happy when he heard this. He brought Zhou Zhi here to please him, not to offend him. Chen Shaochong did this. The fun was obviously a little too much. If the solstice was just for fun, it would be embarrassing if I couldn't say anything at all.

"Really? What if I can read everything I say?" Zhou Zhi was very happy, and then asked: "Brother Yao, what is Brother Chen's name? Just now I remembered that you said your name was Chen Shaochong, right? ”

"Hahaha..." Yao Chong said with a smile: "We were classmates at that time, and we both had the character "Chong" in our names. The class gave us nicknames, namely Green Onion and Xiao Cong. We were buddies who were used to making jokes. Son, elbow, don't get angry with him. "

"Why are you angry?" Zhou Zhi ignored Yao Chong and said, "I want to see Wang Chong's "Spring Mountain", Liu Yu's "Smoke and Water", and Lan Ying's "Imitation of the Big Idiot" "Mountain Scroll", Mi Wanzhong "Red Apricot and Twin Swallows", Chen Chun "Peony Lake Stone Scroll", Tang Yin's "Shrub Xiao Scroll", Xia Chang's "Ink Bamboo Scroll", Shen Zhenji's "Autumn Forest Waterfall Scroll"..."

"Stop! Stop first! For a moment..."

"No, Brother Chen, you agreed. I haven’t mentioned the Qing Dynasty yet..."

"Brother, I admit defeat, admit defeat!" Chen Shaochong repeatedly handed over his hand: "I take back what I just said. You are serious about our museum. It’s familiar...”

"In this case, you pick two of the ones I just mentioned," Chen Shaochong said: "Brother risked his own life to let you see it. In addition, by inviting me to treat you tonight, it is an apology for just talking nonsense and breaking your promise. But Okay?”

“I can’t see everything…” Zhou Zhi was a little disappointed.

"Uh..." Chen Shaochong explained: "What you just mentioned are all Ming Dynasty treasures. Even if I want to take people to visit them, it is very troublesome. The two paintings by Lan Ying and Tang Yin have been repaired and are now in In the exhibition hall, you can see that one directly, and you can choose two more from the rest. , I will take you to take a closer look, it will be more interesting than looking through the window, how about it?"

"That's it..." Zhou Zhi thought for a moment: "Then let's watch "The Picture of Smoke and Water" and "The Red Apricot". Shuangyan Picture Axis"
