Secretary Lu now wants to take advantage of all opportunities, teach by example and instill some basic principles and experiences in Ye Ming as an official, 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 that Ye Ming was entrusted by Wang Xiuguang and came to argue for 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 have been entrusted by Wang Xiuguang to Ye Ming. Given for yourself.
So he neither looked at the painting nor wanted to accept it. Moreover, he took advantage of this opportunity to teach Ye Ming a little "integrity class".
Seeing that Secretary Lu not only did not accept his "Slim Bamboo Picture in Yazhai", he also advised himself not to accept gifts from anyone and to always keep the string of integrity construction tight. He felt a little ashamed, so he took back the painting awkwardly. When I got into my bag, I blushed and said, "Secretary Lu, I have never given a gift to anyone. However, I will remember your teachings firmly, and pay more attention to enhancing my awareness of integrity and strengthening my anti-corruption campaign. The anti-change dam is like you, and you are innocent."
Secretary Lu was very pleased to see that he took the painting back obediently and promised himself that he would stick to integrity in the future: In his opinion, if a person wants to make a difference in his career, he wants to achieve something. For big undertakings, abstaining from greed and ensuring integrity is the most important thing. Throughout history, most of the officials who were dismissed were due to excessive greed and the public's grievances, which led to the end of separation of their wives and children and family destruction. Since my son is doing his career, he must be like himself, in the face of the temptation of money and material things, be able to defend himself, be able to endure poverty and loneliness, so that he can have the foundation for progress...
After Ye Ming put away the painting, he still felt a little uneasy, afraid that Secretary Lu would misunderstand that he was a person who likes to give gifts to his superiors and likes to flatter, so he explained: "Secretary Lu, this painting is not actually Mayor Wang gave me. This is an ancient painting my mother bought more than 20 years ago, and it is also the only valuable thing she has treasured for more than 20 years. She handed it to me before she died. , I want me to preserve it well. However, I don’t know much about antique calligraphy and painting, and my appreciation of calligraphy and painting art is limited. So, I think that when I put this painting in my hands, it has a kind of darkness. You are going to me It's so good, and everyone is collecting and appreciating calligraphy and paintings. I must know how to appreciate and cherish this painting. I really can't think of what gift to bring to you this time. After thinking about it, only this painting is suitable I gave it to you, so I brought it here. I hope you don’t get it wrong!”
When Secretary Lu heard that the painting was left by Zhao Han, his eyes suddenly widened. He suddenly stretched out his hand to Ye Ming and said impatiently: "Xiao Ye, take out the painting, I'll take it out... You Tell me: Is this really your mother's relic?"
Ye Ming looked at Secretary Lu's anxious expression in surprise, and was puzzled. While nodding constantly, he quickly took out the painting.
Secretary Lu almost used the snatching action to take the long box out of Ye Ming's hand, opened the box, carefully pulled out the scroll inside, spread it on the glass coffee table, and began to appreciate it with concentration.
After carefully reading the painting and the poem written by Zheng Banqiao on it, Secretary Lu got up and took out a magnifying glass from the drawer of the desk, sat back on the sofa next to the coffee table, and began to look at the collections under the paintings one by one. Seal.
Many of these seals are famous people. It can be seen that this painting has been handed over many times, and it is definitely the original one--- because Secretary Lu knows some famous collectors in modern times and is also familiar with their collection seals. These things are absolutely impossible to fake. If you want to fake them, 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 several small seal characters: "Ye Han's Seal"---When I saw these words, Secretary Lu felt a sense of sorrow in his heart, and tears began to hurt himself. Rotating in your eyes...
In order to calm down his agitation, Secretary Lu shook his head vigorously, then raised his head, and tried to say to Ye Ming in a gentle tone: "Child, your painting is very precious! According to my judgment, The painting is indeed the original work of Mr. Zheng Banqiao. Your mother is very insightful and has great appreciation.
"Look, this painting is highly summarized and refined in its shape and layout. Just painting a few bamboos makes people feel like they are in a lush and green bamboo forest. In the local area, each bamboo pole, bamboo leaves, and bamboo are depicted with brush and ink. However, every stroke is powerful, the spirit is obtained, and the method is obtained, and the vitality is revealed. Judging from the brushwork of painting bamboo, each bamboo first has a pole to keep the joints. The tips and roots are short, the middle stems are long, and the lengths are uneven, and each section is inherited from top to bottom. , the shape is like a half-ring, and the ink is different. Use the center to draw the stem, and use the side to draw the stem, and the whole stem is round and powerful. The branches are drawn with the joints, and the strokes are fast, vigorous, round and vigorous. The tender branches are small and soft and As the old branches rise up straight and tall, the branches cover and many leaves, the branches are high and the leaves are few, and the description is vivid and business is full of business. The most difficult thing to draw leaves in ink bamboo is to make the bamboo leaves in this painting. The bamboo leaves in this painting are vigorous and sharp, and they are actually pressed and empty, and both There is a way to break the ink, and the ink color is thick and light, and the old and tender are clear. Use the center to draw thin leaves and small leaves, and use the side to draw fat leaves. The brush strokes are like broken bamboo, and they are done in one go, fully demonstrating Zheng Banqiao's skillful and skillful brush and ink skills. From this, it can be seen that This painting is undoubtedly the original work of Mr. Zheng Banqiao!”
Speaking of this, he carefully looked at the poem mentioned on the left side of the painting and chanted softly: "Lying in the yamen, I heard the Xiaoxiaozhu, I suspected that it was the sound of suffering among the people; some officials from the county level in our province, every branch and leaf is always in love! , This painting has a blend of scenes and profound meanings. It is a rare masterpiece, and I like it very much. However, this is a precious souvenir left by your mother. If you gave it to me, wouldn’t it be very suitable?”
Ye Ming saw Secretary Lu's expression and the look of love in his eyes, and knew that he liked the painting very much. He was secretly happy and hurriedly said, "Secretary Lu, I said: My mother left me two. A precious relic: one is the 'golden and jade-full' jade pendant you saw last time. It was the token of love given to her by my father, and it was the only clue for me to find my father in the future, so I will save it well The second one is this "Slim Bamboo Picture in Yazhai". Although this painting is also very precious, it is just an art collection. My mother did not remind me to keep it. And you just asked this Judging from the evaluation of the painting, you are the one who truly 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."
Secretary Lu didn't want this painting with Zhao Han's mo left by his side at this time, so after listening to Ye Ming's words, he no longer pretended to be polite, rolled up the painting and put it with great value. He went to the long box and said to Ye Ming: "Child, I have accepted your gift. Let's talk about this today. If you have time in the future, you must come and see me frequently, okay?"
