Official Road Hongyan

Secretary Lu now wants to use every opportunity to teach Ye Ming some basic principles and experience of being an official by precept and deed, so as to help him broaden his horizons, increase his experience, and accumulate experience, so as to lay a solid foundation for his future promotion.

He judged: Ye Ming was entrusted by Wang Xiuguang to come to defend him in front of him, so that the provincial party committee would not punish him and adjust him.Therefore, he took it for granted that this painting should be given to him by Ye Ming entrusted by Wang Xiuguang.

So he neither looked at the painting nor accepted it.Moreover, he also took this opportunity to give Ye Ming a small "clean government lesson" with earnestness and earnestness.

Seeing that Secretary Lu not only refused to accept his "Slim Bamboo Picture in Yazhai", but also advised himself not to accept gifts from anyone, and to always tighten the string of building a clean government, Ye Ming felt a little ashamed, so he took the painting back embarrassingly. He went into the satchel, blushed and said: "Secretary Lu, I have never given a gift to anyone. However, I will firmly remember your teachings, and in the future I will pay more attention to enhancing my sense of integrity and building a solid foundation against corruption. An anti-change dam, be as innocent as you are."

Seeing that he took the painting back obediently and promised himself that he would stick to the integrity of the government in the future, Secretary Lu was very pleased: in his opinion, if a person wants to make a difference in his official career, he must achieve something. For a big cause, getting rid of greed and ensuring integrity are the most important things.Throughout the ages, most of the officials who have fallen from the horse are because of excessive greed and boiling public grievances, which ended in the end of their wives and children, and their families were destroyed.Since my son is in the official career, he must be like himself, in the face of the temptation of money and material things, he must be able to hold back, he must be able to guard against poverty, endure loneliness, this is the basis for his progress...

After Ye Ming put away the painting, he still felt a little uneasy. He was afraid that Secretary Lu might misunderstand that he was a person who likes to give gifts to his superiors and flatter people, so he explained in a murmur, "Secretary Lu, in fact, this painting is not Mayor Wang gave it to me. This is an ancient painting that my mother bought more than 20 years ago, and it is also the only valuable thing that she has collected for more than [-] years. I keep it well. However, I don't know much about antique calligraphy and painting, and my appreciation of calligraphy and painting art is also limited. Therefore, I think this painting is put in my hands, and there is a taste of a hidden gem. You are so kind to me , and everyone who collects and connoisseurs of calligraphy and painting must know how to appreciate and cherish this painting. I really can’t think of what gift I should bring you when I come to see you this time. After much deliberation, only this painting is suitable for giving You, so, I brought it here. I hope you don't misunderstand!"

When Secretary Lu heard that the painting was left by Zhao Han, his eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand to Ye Ming, and said impatiently: "Xiao Ye, take out the painting, I'll take a look... you Tell me: is this really your mother's relic?"

Ye Ming looked at Secretary Lu's eager expression with a little surprise, wondering in his heart, nodded and quickly took out the painting.

Secretary Lu almost snatched the long box from Ye Ming's hand, opened the box, carefully pulled out the picture scroll inside, spread it on the glass coffee table, and began to concentrate on appreciating it.

After carefully looking at the painting and the poem written by Zheng Banqiao on it, Secretary Lu got up and took out a magnifying glass from the desk drawer, sat down on the sofa next to the coffee table, and began to look at the collections under the painting one by one. seal.

Many of these seals are famous masters, so it can be seen that this painting has changed hands many times, and it is absolutely authentic - because Secretary Lu knows some famous collectors in modern times, and is familiar with their collection seals.These things are absolutely impossible to fake.If you want to fake it, you can't imitate the distinctive seals of so many celebrities...

In the lower right corner of the painting, there is a small seal with a few small characters in seal script: "Ye Han's Seal" - when Secretary Lu saw these words, he felt a pang in his heart, and tears began to flow uncontrollably. Turning inside the eye sockets...

In order to calm his turbulent emotions, Secretary Lu shook his head vigorously, then raised his head, and tried to say to Ye Ming in a calm tone: "My child, your painting is very precious! According to my judgment, this painting is very precious. This painting is indeed the authentic work of Mr. Zheng Banqiao. Your mother has a good eye and taste.

"Look, this painting is highly generalized and refined in terms of shape and layout. Only a few bamboos are painted, which makes people feel like entering a lush bamboo forest. In some parts, each bamboo pole, bamboo leaf, and bamboo is depicted with pen and ink. However, the strokes are powerful, divine, and effective, revealing vitality. Judging from the brushwork of bamboo painting, each bamboo stands upright first to leave knots, the tips and roots are short, the middle stem is long, and the lengths vary, and each section inherits from top to bottom , the shape is like a half ring, the ink thickness is different, use the center to draw the stem, and the old stem uses the side edge, the whole stem is round and powerful. The branches are drawn, the branches are knotted, the strokes are fast, strong and round. The tender branches are small and soft Shun, the old branches stand tall and straight, the branches are covered but the leaves are few, the branches are high and the leaves are few, the description is superb, and the business is full. The ink bamboo is the most difficult to draw. There are breaking and setting methods, the ink color has shades, and the old and tender are distinct anyway. Use the center to draw thin leaves and small leaves, and use the side to draw fat leaves. This painting is undoubtedly the authentic work of Mr. Zheng Banqiao!"

Having said that, he carefully looked at the poem mentioned on the left side of the painting, and whispered softly: "Ya Zhai is listening to Xiaoxiaozhu, which is suspected to be the voice of the people's suffering; these little officials of Caozhou County, every branch and leaf are always concerned about love! Children , this painting blends scenes and profound meanings, it is a rare masterpiece, I like it very much. However, this is a precious souvenir left by your mother, if you give it to me, will it be inappropriate?"

Seeing Secretary Lu's expression and the look of love in his eyes, Ye Ming knew that he liked the painting very much in his heart, and he was secretly happy, so he hurriedly said: "Secretary Lu, I told you: my mother left me two A precious relic: one is the 'Golden Jade Mantang' jade pendant you saw last time, it was my father's token of love for her, and it is the only clue for me to find my father in the future, so I will keep it well The second piece is this "Slender Bamboo Picture in Yazhai". Although this painting is also very precious, it is only an art collection. My mother did not tell me to keep it forever. And since you just said this Judging from the evaluation of this painting, you are a person who really knows how to appreciate and cherish this painting. So, I gave it to you, which can be regarded as finding a real good owner for this painting."

At this time, Secretary Lu didn't want to let the painting with Zhao Han's left ink leave his side at all, so after listening to Ye Ming's words, he stopped being polite and rolled up the painting, putting it in a treasured place. Go to the long box and say to Ye Ming: "Son, I have accepted your gift. We will talk about this today. If you have time in the future, you must visit me often, okay?"
