Riding the wind of rebirth

"Huh? Why?" Zhou Zhi felt strange.

"Because today is different from the past, everyone in Panjiayuan knows the two elders." Mr. Ma said cheerfully: "Everything that Mr. Wang picked up and looked at, put it down and the seller dared to double it, saying that the old man had seen it! "

"Huh? Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi couldn't help it. Is there still such a thing 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'm talking about your exam! Are you so sure?!" Mr. Wang was really angry: "Didn't you say you came here for the exam? It's useless if you don't sharpen your weapon before the battle. Do you still have time to play?"

"Master, please calm down, please calm down." Zhou Zhi hurriedly reassured: "This GRE is mainly difficult for us mainland students because of their Chinese language."

"This Chinese language mainly relies on daily accumulation, not sprinting before the exam." Zhou Zhi explained: "Just like our own Chinese language, those poems, songs, prose and novels cannot be memorized by heart. In fact, It’s the same in every country.”

"I don't quite understand you, but I called Wei Yi and Wu Qiaomu here too. They can't stand your bullying!"

"I really didn't lie to you..."

"What are you kidding about?" Just as the two men were arguing, two people walked in from the door. The man was tall and strong, with the temperament of the youth of the May 4th Republic of China. The woman was petite, with a pretty and gentle face, but she was a standard southern Sichuan warm person. The appearance of a graceful beauty. 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 started working, and I have a lot to do." Wei Yi was very happy to see Zhou Zhi: "Qiao Mu helped me move my dormitory and buy furniture, so I couldn't go back this winter vacation."

As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Zhi's sleeves and took a closer look: "My elbows seem to have grown taller too."

"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 Jia Chuan'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 someone recruited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was "temporarily training" under the name of a Xinhua News Agency reporter, Zhou Zhi didn't understand, and Zhou Zhi didn'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 cheerful, and her expression is flying when she looks around, just like her appearance in school. Completely different.

"Sister Yi just happened to come here 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 techniques for taking this exam. You still need to pay attention to it when you refer to it for the first time."

After saying that, he took out a thick pile of test papers from Wu Qiaomu's backpack: "At the end of last year, a study abroad training school opened in the capital. I have classmates giving lectures there. They have a method for TOEFL and IELTS."

"Although there are no GRE exams yet, I asked my colleagues in the department to help find some. You can do it in the next few days. Hurry, you will enter the examination room on Thursday."

Zhou Zhi was speechless, holding the scroll and lamenting: "I asked you to testify for me without having to sharpen my gun in battle. I didn't ask you to arrange for me to sharpen my gun in battle..."

"Be obedient, it's just these two days. It'll be over after I endure it." Wei Yi looked very happy: "Qiao Mu is also struggling now, and he is also preparing to rush to graduate school."                                                                                                                                                                                           ． The end of your studies." Zhou Zhi found his inner balance: "Oh no, I have to go through the real estate handover procedures with Brother Jesse in the next two days..."

"Leave these things to us." Mr. Ma 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 Lin Wanqiu to come over tomorrow and have a meeting with the Radio, Film and Television Industry Administration to discuss the use of scenes for "Twelve Zodiac Signs" in various parts of the country. Do you want to participate in this matter?"

"I won't go to the meeting, right? But when Sister Wanqiu and Brother Li are free, they will definitely pay a visit."

"Wanqiu, you should really thank me." Master Ma nodded: "I spent a lot of effort to find a Jun kiln porcelain for you."

"What a pity, it's still not from the Song Dynasty." Zhou Zhi still felt very regretful.

Among 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. The quantity of this thing is extremely rare. Except for a dozen pieces in museums, it is widely known that it has been lost among the people, and you can hardly get a piece of it.

Zhou Zhi had several pieces of porcelain imitating the beauty of the Jun kiln, including a pomegranate statue made in the Qing Kangxi kiln with cowpea red, a rose purple three-legged tripod made in the Yongzheng imperial kiln imitating the Jun kiln, and a glazed apple statue made in the Qianlong kiln.

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, looking at the object is the main thing."

"I haven't seen that thing before, and I'm eagerly waiting for Master Ma to come over." Zhou Zhi said, "But the order of transmission of the thing is clear."

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 in Hong Kong is the collector with the richest collection of folk Jun kilns. Unfortunately, the old man passed away in 1980. Passed away Later, the family sent Mr. Qiu's collection to the auction house for auction, and one of them, a large Jun kiln bowl with blue glaze, sold for HKD 3.7 million in 1980."

"Years ago, the enemy's family had plans to immigrate, and they began to collect the things left by the old man again, including a Jun kiln blue-gray glaze colorful bowl."

"Sister Wanqiu told me when she found out, and I told Sister Wanqiu that I must take it." Zhou Zhi smiled bitterly: "It's thanks to the economic downturn, and this bowl is not enough regardless of its size or appearance. Compared with the large Jun kiln bowl with blue glaze from 13 years ago, 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 you 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 joked a bit, and at this time, Master Ma had come down from upstairs, with a small blue cloth-veneered handicraft box in his hand.

A tweed tablecloth was spread 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 quaint little bowl. Apart from the wonderful color of the glaze, the rest of it 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. The size is not much different from the small bowls used for eating in later generations' homes.
