The next question put Zhu Tong in trouble again. Master Yu Xuan asked for their opinions: Do you want to invite the fourth-grade Honghuo whistle? Do you want to invite the fifth-grade Qingyang?
Zhu Tong understood what Master Yu Xuan was thinking. Because of Zhu Tong, the Zhu family and the fourth-grade Honghuo and the fifth-grade Qingyang were in a very unpleasant situation because of Zhu Tong. Of course, there was also the first-grade Golden Buddha. Let’s not talk about the golden Buddha for the time being.
Enemies are friends, and no one can ignore the profound strength of the first-grade Golden Buddha. If Master Yu Xuan wants to invite Su Wengda, the best master in the world, to join him and shock Xiao Xiao, he has to worry about Zhu Men's attitude.
"It's better to invite them all. Yuxuan Daozong doesn't have to think too much. We don't have any objections. After all, we are all from the Jianghu family, so it's not good to favor one over the other." Zhu Tong could only say this. Master Yuxuan gave him enough face, so he had to
Generous.
Master Yu Xuan smiled and said nothing, actually took out a delicate mobile phone, dialed, and said: "Come here."
Bamboo Taoist priests, Suowonda or Master Kongji, even Meiye and Qingwu monks all maintain their own identity and will never use communication tools such as mobile phones on such occasions; Yu Xuan behaves very casually, you know, he is a
A Taoist master with profound cultivation.
Mei Lanting led a young man of about thirty years old to Xiyunxuan, clasped his hands in courtesy and said loudly: "Fan Xin has met Mr. Mei and Dr. Zhu."
He is thin but not thin, with fresh eyebrows and a pale complexion. He is wearing a long gown and a folding fan, giving off a strong scholarly atmosphere; looking at him gives people a comfortable and peaceful feeling.
"Fan Xin is a disciple of Pindao who works as a bookkeeper. He used to be a top student at Peking University and has a doctorate in history." Yu Xuan introduced with a smile.
"It turns out he is the great secret of the Dao Sect. No wonder he has an extraordinary temperament." Zhu Tong looked at this former doctor with interest. Fan Xin seemed to think that Yu Xuan's former disciples had names that started with the word "Xuan". Could it be that the second-level Dao Sect also has a character that starts with "Xuan"?
Unify the generation names, starting with the character Fanxing, and launch a generation of Taoist priests with the character Fanxing?
The so-called Qing Feng Mingyue Zi Xiaoyao, the second-level Taoist sect has never paid much attention to the Taoist names of its disciples; if you think about it carefully, the confusion of titles actually reduces the cohesion internally and the overall effect of image promotion externally. If we start with Yu Xuan
Although it is uncomfortable to establish this rule, it is of great benefit to the development of the entire Dao Sect. In today's environment, only internal unity can make a difference. Yu Xuan pushed out the mortal heart and proved the internal integration of the Dao Sect.
It's almost complete.
Mei Ye is old enough, so he should pay more attention to the younger generation; Zhu Tong is younger than Fan Xin, smiles and socializes for a few words, and follows Mei Lanting down to Xiyunxuan on the pretext of fetching water.
In midsummer, there are only a few green shades in the Broken Snow Garden. Except for plum blossoms, peaches, bamboos, and orchids, there are no seasonal flowers and trees. No wonder Mei Ye named this garden Broken Snow Garden, so the layout should not be too messy.
, it might as well be called the tacky "Four Seasons Like Spring" or "Hundred Gardens".
Mei Lanting was in a good mood and took Zhu Tong to sit down in Shuixuan and chatted. She didn't like to wear skirts, so a beige thin silk sand business suit was very suitable for her status as a strong woman.
Since the works of two star painters she strongly supported at the auction sold for over 100,000 yuan, Lanting Gallery has been doing well recently and she has made a lot of money.
"Sister Xilan just left. This time she took the initiative to invest in her father's theater troupe. Hehe, it's three hundred thousand a month. You won't have to work so hard in the future." Mei Lanting said this, and Zhu Tongcai knew the real reason for her happiness.
.
However, Liu Xilan is not Liu Yilan. She will not invest in the Meijia Class of Liupin Meiyuan without any reason. Thinking of the melodious Kunqu opera in the rain of flowers, Zhu Tong chuckled and said: "Don't let the Meijia Class become the Orchid Class.
"
"No way? You just have a bright mind; Sister Xilan doesn't have that kind of ambition. She only asks for two things: first, to perform 60 times for Orchid Theater every year; second, to train a few opera singers for them every year
Disciple, after three years, eight qualified artists will be trained for them every year."
"You still say no." Zhu Tong threw a green fruit into the water, watched it float up and down, and said in a low voice: "Liupin Meiyuan has paid a great price to preserve its unique traditional culture, and you also
I see that your father's efforts are being recognized by the society, and their performance in Shanghai has aroused the attention of many people. Miss Mei, was it so difficult for you to have someone help you so generously before?"
After saying this, Mei Lanting suddenly realized; she had been burdened by the burden of the Mei family class for too long and was too tired. When she heard that someone was going to take over this burden, she was only happy and did not think about it carefully.
If there are 60 performances per year at the Bapin Orchid venue, the Meijia Troupe will basically have no chance to respond to other performance invitations, and will indirectly become the private theater troupe of the Bapin Orchid. This truth is actually easy to think of. However,
Mei's class hadn't had such an opportunity for a long time, and Mei Lanting simply couldn't refuse.
Zhu Tong was focusing on the second point. The Meijia Troupe trains disciples for Orchid. Maybe in a few years, Orchid will have its own theater troupe, and there is no need for the Meijia Troupe at all. In a sense, this kind of cooperation is
The eighth-grade orchid is a secret plunder of the inherited art preserved by the sixth-grade plum garden.
"What should I do? Without Lanhua's help, I don't know if I can survive." Mei Lanting looked at Zhu Tong in frustration, how could reality be so cruel!
"I don't know, what did Mr. Mei say?"
"Grandpa didn't say anything, I thought..."
What do you think? Zhu Tong wanted to say that he held back again, he couldn't bear to hit Mei Lan again. Mr. Mei didn't express his position, which already showed that he realized Liu Xilan's true intention; Mei Ye was also in a dilemma. After all, the eighth-grade orchid and the sixth-grade
Meiyuan's relationship has always been good.
"Isn't there a Jianghu reception? Miss Mei, you don't need to worry about the matter now. Mr. Mei will find a way." Zhu Tong comforted Mei Lanting. He believed that the old guy Mei Ye would definitely find Mr. Liu;
However, no matter what the outcome is, Liu Xilan's proposed cooperation will not be accepted, and Mei Lanting is destined to have to worry about Mei Jiaban.
Returning to Xiyunxuan, Fanxin spread out a stack of computer design drawings on the stone table and asked Mei Ye to provide some comments on these drawings with a master's perspective.
Zhu Tong glanced briefly and knew that this was a dress specially prepared by the Taoist sect for the wedding, including five sets of wedding clothes worn by the newlyweds and clothes worn by the presiding Taoist priest.
Mei Lanting grabbed a few pictures, and her eyes immediately went straight; any girl would be like this when seeing wedding clothes.
It can be seen that Fanxin has good vision and knowledge, and the dresses prepared for the newlyweds are very elegant; they are not simple cheongsams and jackets, but based on the gorgeous Tang and Han Dynasty costumes, and softened with modern aesthetic concepts.
"Huh?" Zhu Tong couldn't help but grab a few pieces. They were several sets of jewelry specially designed by Daozong for this costume. They were mainly made of jade. This is obviously the craftsmanship of Shen Shixuan; yes, gold inlaid with jade, below
It is also engraved with the name of Shenshixuan.
"How much is Daozong prepared to charge for such a wedding?" Zhu Tong asked Master Yu Xuan with a smile.
Yu Xuan didn't say anything, and Fan Xin replied: "The wedding is free. As long as you are a Taoist believer, we will not charge any fees."
Zhu Tong didn't believe that there would be free things at all, and Mei Lanting didn't believe it either. She said strangely: "Don't these things cost a lot of money?"
"We won't charge a penny just for use. This involves a lot of things. If the requirements of the couple are relatively high, we have specialized designers to tailor them for them. There are also wedding banquet specifications. Things like this are not free.
"Yes." A smile oozed from the corner of Fan Xin's mouth.
Zhu Tong understood that he was afraid of the word "if" in everything; what Fan Xin said was "if... the requirements are relatively high"; then, there will be many new people who will buy these sets of gorgeous clothes and accessories; specially designed things,
The price is hard to say.
From another point of view, free has its advantages. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning, and having such a gimmick will attract a lot of attention. Anyway, those Taoist priests usually don’t have much to do, and they are idle when they are idle. With such a busy person
It's a blessing, but I'm happy too.
Mr. Mei was very happy. He drew on a piece of paper with a pen and put forward his own suggestions. Mei Lanting often interrupted. Fan Xin listened carefully. There was a recording pen on the table, and all these words were recorded.
Mr. Mei actually took out a few paintings, which were...Ye'er; they were some pictures of ladies in ancient costumes and a flower that Mr. Mei had drawn using Ye'er as a model.
Fan Xin immediately looked straight and grabbed the frame and refused to let go: "Phoenix Fairy! Who is this lady? Who designed this suit? Mr. Mei, Daozong, I suggest that this painting be made into a poster."
Zhu Tong felt bad and snatched it away: "Mr. Mei, what do you mean?"
The atmosphere in Xiyunxuan instantly dropped to freezing point, and there was an eerie chill in Zhu Tong's words.
"If it doesn't work, I'll draw a few more pictures for you." Mei Ye scratched her head in embarrassment and smiled apologetically at Zhu Tong: "I forgot about it when I was happy. I'm sorry. It's really hard for Daozong to have such a change.
I'm so happy. I'm sorry, oh, I'm so confused."
Zhu Tong snorted and wrapped up Ye'er's two pictures: "These paintings are not suitable for you to keep. You are really stupid. Tomorrow, I will give Miss Mei one million. Mrs. Mei won't mind it."
Less?"
"It's not about money. Someone already wants these two paintings."
"It's just a matter of money. Who wants it? When Mrs. Mei was young, would you allow your wife's paintings to be hung in other people's living rooms?" The little liar warned him aggressively. This was a matter of principle and he couldn't give in at all; "This is what it is.
Mistakes, Mr. Mei, none of us can afford to make mistakes. If something happens because of them, Mr. Mei, I believe you understand that no one can bear the consequences."
Because of what Jade Girl said, from the day these paintings were completed, Zhu Tong had a hard thorn in his heart, always looking for opportunities to get them back. The influence of Mei Ye is not trivial. If these paintings appear in a certain
At this auction, both Ye'er and Zhu Tong will be in a very embarrassed state. This is still an acceptable consequence, or it may be used for other purposes by some people with ulterior motives, which is hard to say.
As soon as Zhu Tong got rid of his identity as the leader, he lost a lot of worries; now that the leader of the Zhu Sect is Suowonda, he is just the doctor of the Zhu Sect, so he doesn't have to worry too much about many things.
"Just take it." Mei Ye also understood this and said reluctantly, "Let me take another look. I may never be able to paint such a work again in my life."
Master Yu Xuan didn't know the inside story, so he got up to smooth things over, but Mr. Mei stopped insisting. The atmosphere relaxed, and after a few cups of tea and some mild talk, the meeting was over.
Fan Xin looked at Zhu Tong and those paintings thoughtfully. His understanding of these masters in the world was still very weak.
Zhu Tong had no interest in socializing with him, Mei Ye's attitude toward him was average, but Mei Lanting seemed very interested, and exchanged business cards with Fan Xin when they broke up.
