Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three

After returning from the Grand Canyon Scenic Area, Dongfang Changqing met Bai Xue and returned to their love nest in Rose New Village.After some excitement, Bai Xue told Dongfang Evergreen that she had already been to her ex-husband's house and met her former father-in-law, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and Executive Vice Governor Zhou Chunqing. "I talked about the project, and he agreed to take you to see him." Bai Xue said. Dongfang Changqing smiled and said: "I really have you, the executive deputy governor even let you talk." Bai Xue also smiled and said: "Actually, Zhou Chunqing is still very good to me. He treated me and Zhou Yiquan's marriage broke It's a pity that I hate his son. I think he is still a good father."

Bai Xue asked Dongfang Changqing when to meet Zhou Chunqing, Dongfang Changqing smiled and said, "Let's see it later, don't rush this." Bai Xue felt a little puzzled, and said, "Didn't you say that the project is important? What's the matter with this?" Are you not in a hurry to go?" Dongfang Changqing talked about contacting several directors of the Provincial Development and Reform Bureau through Wan Hao, and said: "If we go to Vice Governor Zhou, Vice Governor Zhou will give you instructions After that, wouldn’t it be that I, Dongfang Changqing, used power to overwhelm others, so that even if they helped you with things, they would feel uncomfortable. What we want to do is long-term friends, not short-term mutual use.”

Bai Xue said: "You men are more careful than women, but what you said is also reasonable. If we need it, let's go again." After the engineering team of Hongyun Company settled in, Dongfang Evergreen convened an engineering meeting in Dongjiang Temple. All the team members of the Bureau of Culture, Broadcasting, Liang Zhenghui, Director of the Religious Affairs Bureau, Yan Dongsheng, Director of Cultural Relics, Man Weicheng, the owner of Hongyun Company, engineering technicians, and Dongjiang The abbot of the temple, Master Wisdom, and others attended the meeting, and Dongfang Changqing even invited technical staff from the Municipal Architectural Design Institute to attend the meeting.

At the meeting, Dongfang Changqing mainly emphasized the quality of the project, saying: "Dongjiang Temple is the largest religious site in our city, and it is also a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit. The municipal party committee and government attach great importance to the renovation of Dongjiang Temple, and the people also attach great importance Concern, therefore, quality issues and safe production should be put in the first place. Especially the construction party must complete every detail. In order to ensure quality, we have decided to set up a quality supervision team after reporting to the leaders of the municipal party committee and government. People from the Culture and Broadcasting Bureau, the Cultural Relics Bureau, and the Construction Bureau were selected, and people from Dongjiang Temple also participated.” Yan Dongsheng, the director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, also made some comments on the construction of the project from the perspective of cultural relics protection and restoration, and Liang Zhenghui, the director of the Religious Bureau, also discussed it from a religious point of view. opinion.

Finally, Man Weicheng, the boss of Hongyun Company, the engineering company, made a statement. After the meeting, construction began.Dongfang Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he could concentrate on the project declaration of the Southern Grand Theatre.Since the last time they got in touch with Zhang Bin and others from the Provincial Development and Reform Bureau in the Grand Canyon, they had met several times under the convening of Wan Hao, and the relationship became closer. When not meeting, Dongfang Changqing also pays attention to calling them from time to time and keeps in close contact.Dongfang Evergreen has always felt that the key to getting acquainted from a stranger and then becoming a friend is not the relationship of interests, but the frequent walking and frequent contact between people.When he was the county magistrate, some people didn't know each other at first, but they came frequently, came more often, and got to know each other more, and the relationship became intimate without knowing it. a feeling of.Dongfang Changqing thinks that this is a kind of skill. There are not many people who can impress people at first glance, but even fewer people can get close without knowing it, moistening things silently. This is A kind of realm.

Of course, money still needs to be spent. China's current system has not completely broken away from the official position system. Power is in the hands of others. National projects can be given to anyone or not, and some private transactions are inevitable.After a period of contact, Dongfang Changqing felt that the time was ripe and decided to go to Zhang Bin's house.After discussing with Su Yiyuan, Su Yi said: "Secretary, I'm afraid I have to hold a bureau meeting to study this matter before deciding. Although we have to give gifts to key people when running projects, it's hard to say that it's bribery by the unit. This unspoken rule everyone I know, but unspoken rules are unspoken rules after all, and once someone inside makes trouble, it will be difficult to deal with it. Individuals should not take too much risk when doing public affairs."

Dongfang Changqing pondered for a long time, nodded, and said with emotion: "Yi Yuan, you are sincere. In the words of the ancients, it is called Lao Cheng seeking the country. It seems that I am still too anxious. It’s a kind of utilitarianism, and you just want to get things done, so you’re in a hurry, you don’t think too far, and you’re a bit reckless.” Su Yiyuan said: "Actually, the so-called project reserve fund is mainly used for relationship building? It's just that our bureau has just merged, and the running-in is not very good. I am worried about internal problems. In fact, it is just a matter of leaving at the meeting. Following the formality, centralized leadership, and the fact that our old Cultural Bureau is in the majority, we can still achieve our goal in the end.”

Sure enough, Su Yiyuan's prediction was good, the meeting went smoothly, no one expressed any objection, and the matter was finalized.The meeting also decided that Dongfang Changqing and Su Yiyuan would visit the leaders of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission together.Afterwards, Dongfang Changqing called Wan Hao, told him that he was going to leave the two directors' homes, and asked him to go with him. Wan Hao laughed and said: "Dongfang, how smart are you for being so confused all your life? You can do these things by yourself and tell me what to do." Dongfang Changqing also laughed and said: "I don't trust you. I have been at the grassroots level for a long time, and I really don’t understand these things, so I ask you for an idea.” Wan Hao laughed at the other end and said, “I don’t have any ideas, don’t blame me.” In the end, he still said to Dongfang Changqing : "How about this, Dongfang, I think it's better to control the situation. Generally speaking, project declarations only need to go through the Social Development Office, and they have to leave. Just go to Director Zhang's house, and nothing else is needed."

Dongfang Changqing carefully chose a weekend, and called Zhang Bin in the morning, saying, "Brother Zhang, I am Dongfang Changqing." Zhang Bin smiled and said, "I still need to introduce myself, your cell phone The numbers are all placed in my closest friends, and I still can't hear you." Dongfang Changqing felt relieved when he heard this, and said, "It's the weekend, how do you arrange it?" Zhang Bin thought he was going to invite another card, and said, "I'll listen to you, my brother. How do you arrange me? The minister should make a phone call, it's still the same thing, winning or losing is for your own use, this is called meat rotten in the pot, and the fat and water don't go to outsiders' fields."

Dongfang Changqing laughed and said: "Brother Zhang, where do you live? I still want to come to recognize you. Is it convenient?" Zhang Bin said with a smile: "It is convenient, my wife and children have gone to grandma's house. I was lying in bed trying to figure out how to spend the weekend when you called." After finding out the address of Zhang Bin's house, Dongfang Evergreen called Su Yiyuan and said, "Yi Yuan, get the money ready, and we'll visit the disciples today." Take 20,000 yuan, if you don’t have enough, I’m afraid you won’t get it.” Su Yiyuan said, “Okay, I’ll do it, and I’ll call you when the money is withdrawn.”

Zhang Bin's family lives in Maohua New Village, which is the hottest real estate area in the city, and the housing prices are very high. Zhang Bin's family lives in a duplex building with luxurious decoration.When Dongfang Changqing and Su Yiyuan entered, they couldn't help but looked at each other with emotion, thinking that they were both civil servants, and the division of labor was different, so the treatment of the unpopular unit and the popular department was the same. Sure enough, Zhang Bin was alone at home. He greeted them in pajamas and slippers, and said with a smile, "Welcome, welcome. I didn't get up until I received a call from Brother Dongfang. I didn't even have time to wash my face. How offending you are. Sit down!" Let me go and wash my face." After Zhang Bin washed and changed his clothes, Dongfang Changqing smiled and said, "Brother Zhang is probably imitating Zhuge Liang's late sleep in spring. To be honest, I am still very envious. With your lazy life, when I was at the CPPCC, I often slept until noon and didn’t get up until the middle of the day, feeling extremely peaceful in my heart. Ever since I became the director of the Culture Bureau, I have no such blessing.” Zhang Bin smiled and threw a pack of Ruan Zhonghua to each of them, and said: "This is not comparable. We are for business. Strictly speaking, we are not officials. At most, we can be regarded as officials. Your brother is the chief, it is enough." It’s called Shangguan. Officials have room to rise, but officials have little room to rise politically, so it’s normal to relax a little bit in life.” Dongfang Changqing laughed and said: “What kind of officials, officials, the director of the Cultural Bureau, but He is an official sitting on the bench." Zhang Bin looked at Dongfang Evergreen with a smile, and said, "Heroes don't ask where they come from. The director of the Cultural Bureau may not be able to be promoted to mayor and governor? Li Ruihuan was born as a carpenter. However, for an unpopular bureau like the Cultural Bureau, it is indeed difficult to do things." It’s not easy.” Dongfang Changqing said: “Yes, our Zixu City is now a demonstration site for the reform of the cultural system in the province. I have some ideas, which I think are practical and feasible. It has been revitalized. But the idea is an idea, and it is still difficult to implement it, and I need the help of the brothers." Zhang Bin just laughed and said: "You mean the application for the project of the Southern Grand Theater. Minister Wan Hao also told me that this idea is indeed good. Culture must be developed into an industry and produce economic benefits. Since it is your brother We’re doing this, let’s take our time.” Su Yiyuan interjected from the side, "Because of this matter, our Director Dongfang's hair is almost turning gray." Zhang Bin laughed and said: "Brother Dongfang's enterprising spirit is admirable, but there are some things that you can't worry about. I don't want to hide the truth from you, the leaders of your Municipal Development and Reform Bureau have some conflicts with us. Yes, of course it’s good to praise the director and the deputy director, but things have to be handled from below, and each other is twisted, and we can’t get along, so let’s do business.” Dongfang Changqing laughed and said: "That's true. As the saying goes, a thousand lives are not as good as one acquaintance. After all, China is no better than Western countries. People still do things based on feelings." Zhang Bin said: "For the project of the Southern Grand Theater, you still continue to report. Of course, you have to report through the Municipal Development and Reform Bureau. I know it well. However, your project demonstration report has to be reinvented. I suggest that you and Mr. Cheng Get in touch, he has some friends in Beijing, and it would be more reliable to have an engineering consulting company in Beijing do it. In addition, after you go back, you need your city government to issue a supporting commitment letter for the project. The total investment of this project is nearly 300 million. It is a big project, and the province also needs to have a letter of commitment for matching funds. This may have to be reported to the provincial government through your city. According to the matching ratio of project funds, the provincial and municipal finances have to match nearly 100 million yuan, which is not a small amount. These materials are ready, you can come to me directly, after I review your materials, I will take you directly to Beijing, to the National Development and Reform Commission." Dongfang Changqing was very grateful and said: "Thank you so much, brother. I have no choice but to run this project in person because of the lack of movement from the Municipal Development and Reform Bureau. I have just come into contact with the project declaration. I can't figure it out. With you coming to help us, I feel relieved. As for the supporting facilities in the city, the standing committee of the municipal party committee has already confirmed it, so it should not be a big problem. It is the promise of matching funds in the province. It's probably a little difficult." Zhang Bin said: "Exactly. Generally speaking, in order to set up national projects, the province will not have any problems with the commitment letter, but what is afraid of is expressing an empty state. This is not without precedent. For the national project, the matching fund commitment bookmarked, but after the project is completed, the provincial finance does not provide matching funds or lacks supporting funds. The vacant matching funds fall to the local finance that applies for the project, which causes great difficulties to the lower levels. So, if it is possible, we still have to lobby the main leaders of the provincial government to get their support." The three chatted for two hours, and Dongfang Changqing suggested going out for dinner, and Zhang Bin agreed with a smile.After dinner, Dongfang Changqing wanted to take Zhang Bin home by car, but Su Yiyuan found an excuse to avoid it.Dongfang Changqing smiled. Su Yiyuan still knew the rules. Generally speaking, if you give a red envelope to the other party, if two people go together, the other party will not be able to accept it. I am afraid that there will be a witness to the gift after an accident.Dongfang Changqing sent Zhang Bin downstairs to his house, but Zhang Bin didn't want him to send it up. Dongfang Changqing insisted on sending the red envelope upstairs because the red envelope hadn't been delivered yet. Back at Zhang Bin's house, the two talked for a while. Dongfang Changqing opened the briefcase, took out the envelope containing 10,000 yuan in cash, and said, "Brother Zhang, the project is all up to you. It's just a little work." You accept the funds first, and if it’s not enough, then I’ll think of a way.” Zhang Bin hastily declined, saying, “Brother Dongfang, what are you doing? You want me to make mistakes.” Dongfang Changqing said with a smile : "How dare I let you make mistakes, you apply for projects for us, and the money is not for yourself. In this day and age, when looking for someone, you still have to buy a few cigarettes and have a meal." Zhang Bin laughed Laughing, he said, "That's true. We have a pretty good relationship with the National Development and Reform Commission. To tell you the truth, the province still allocates a certain amount of money to us every year, just for these relationships." Just put the envelope away. After Zhang Bin accepted the envelope, Dongfang Changqing couldn't help but let out a long breath in his heart, feeling relieved.I thought to myself that gift giving is not an easy thing to do. To give it naturally, in a natural way, so that people can accept it without any mental burden, besides overcoming various psychological barriers, you also need to have super diplomatic skills .Otherwise, not only will others not accept your gift, but if you stick to it, you will be asked to take the gift to the Discipline Inspection Commission. After leaving Zhang Bin's house, Dongfang Changqing drove back to the restaurant where he had lunch. Su Yiyuan was still waiting there. When he got in the car, seeing Dongfang Changqing smiling, he asked, "It's done?" Dongfang Changqing just smiled and didn't answer. , Su Yiyuan said: "It's good, what should we do next?" While driving the car, Dongfang Changqing said: "The next step is to contact the engineering consulting company to write a project evidence report. You and Director Chang can do this. I have to report to Secretary Chen Xinzhi and report to the provincial government. Get the supporting commitment letter." Su Yiyuan said: "I'm afraid I can't do it. To be honest, my legs will go limp when I see the leader." Dongfang Changqing said: "Yi Yuan, you have to go out and exercise. You can't be a deputy for a lifetime. When you become a full-time leader in the future, you have to deal with the leader frequently. Besides, we have already stepped out of the way with Director Zhang. Now, you are familiar with it, and there should be no problem if you go with Director Chang." Su Yiyuan heard this and said: "I don't dare to think about being a full-time leader. I will follow you. I will follow you wherever you go." Dongfang Changqing laughed and said: "Are you sure? Don't You are wrong, following the wrong person is a lifetime thing." Su Yiyuan also smiled and said: "I have seen it, if someone as capable as you can't be promoted, I will have no hope." Dongfang Changqing laughed, Su Yiyuan was really cute, and he showed his loyalty and frankness.So he said: "Yi Yuan, thank you for your trust in me, but, I really don't have confidence, and I don't have that ambition." Su Yiyuan said: "You should be promoted, otherwise, this officialdom is really chilling." Back home, Zhou Xian was not at home, and had a parent meeting for her son.Dongfang Changqing felt that the house was empty, and after a short nap, he only woke up after a short nap.I was lying down reading a book when the phone rang, and I saw that it was Master Wisdom calling.Dongfang Changqing was stunned, and had lived with Master Wisdom for many years, and the two had a deep relationship, but every time he went to Dongjiang Temple, Master Wisdom never took the initiative to call himself.Press the receive button and say: "Master, hello, have you come to the city?" Wisdom Master said: "Director Dongfang, I'm in the temple, what am I going to do if I don't have a meeting?" Dongfang Evergreen He just laughed and said: "Master, people outside of Fangyuan can travel around the world, why don't they come to the city?" Master Wisdom said: "Director Dongfang, do you have anything to do? If you have nothing to do, come to the temple." Dongfang Changqing asked, "Is there something wrong?" Master Wisdom said: "Come on, you will know when you come." Master Wisdom's tone seemed a bit mysterious, and Dongfang Changqing thought that something must have happened to the project, otherwise Master Wisdom would not call himself to go up.Thinking of this, I felt a little anxious, and replied, "I'll come." Then he hurriedly put on his clothes, washed up, went downstairs and drove out. Master Wisdom had been waiting at the mountain gate for a long time, and when he saw Dongfang Evergreen coming, he greeted him with a smile.Dongfang Director Changqing asked: "Master, what's the matter?" Wisdom smiled and put his palms together and said: "Please follow me." Then he turned around and walked forward.Dongfang Changqing followed the old monk full of doubts, back to his clean and tidy dormitory.Master Wisdom asked Dongfang Changqing to sit down, and the little monk made tea for them and retreated.Dongfang Changqing had a look at the situation of the project. Master Wisdom smiled and said: "This engineering team is still in charge. We discuss everything with us, and we still follow the customs in daily life, so there is no conflict." Dongfang Evergreen listened. Only then did I feel relieved.The two talked for a while, and Dongfang Changqing also talked about his work. For some reason, Dongfang Changqing was willing to tell Master Wisdom about his work. In front of him, there is a desire to tell. After chatting for a while, Dongfang Changqing once again asked Master Wisdom what was the matter with calling him up the mountain.Wisdom smiled and said: "Director Dongfang, we haven't seen each other for a long time, how about a hand-to-hand talk today?" Dongfang Changqing put down his doubts and said, "I am willing to learn." At that moment, Master Wisdom took out his cherished Yunzi , the two of them set up their battles and started playing chess. Dongfang Changqing was suspicious and was inevitably distracted. It didn't take long for him to lose. Master Wisdom knew that Dongfang Changqing had no intention of playing chess, so he cleaned up the chessboard.Dongfang Changqing said: "Master, you summoned me to the mountain because you wanted to play chess with me, right?" Master Wisdom smiled and said, "Director Dongfang is very thoughtful. You are busy with work, so the monk will not invite you to play chess with the monk." Then he stood up slowly, made a gesture of invitation, and said, " Director Dongfang, please follow me." Dongfang Changqing followed Master Wisdom and turned to the inner room. This was the first time Dongfang Changqing entered the place where Master Wisdom slept. He saw plain pillows and quilts, simple and tidy, with an air of otherworldliness.Master Wisdom groped around the bed for a while, pulled out a roll of things, and greeted Dongfang Changqing with a smile: "Director Dongfang, please take a look." When Dongfang Changqing looked at it, it was a scroll, which was slowly unfolded, and a painting of ink plums was displayed in front of him.When Dongfang Changqing took a closer look, it was an ink on paper, slightly yellow, showing that it was quite old, but it was still well preserved.That old plum tree has strong and curved branches, strong bones, ancient and vigorous, with thousands of flowers and blooming pistils, full of vitality.The whole picture is free and easy with ink, with extraordinary charm.There is a poem inscribed in the blank space in the upper left corner, and Dongfang Changqing couldn't help reading out loud: "Miaogu is so beautiful, Xiangxue has skin and a thin body. Who will decide if she wants to marry Chunfeng? It all depends on the fact that the young girl is an iceman." Looking at the inscription, it is a cursive line: Xin Si wrote it in Dongjiang Temple in the south of the Yangtze River in July. Master Huineng's elegant family, Xueqin Peng Yulin, was sixty-seven at the time.There is a white seal of "Peng Yulin Seal" and a Zhu Wen seal of "Qinggong Shaobao" under the money.After reading it, Dongfang Changqing turned around and looked at Master Wisdom, facing the master's peaceful and calm smile. Dongfang Changqing realized something, so he rewound the scroll and returned it to Master Wisdom with great care. The two of them sat down on the bed without going out.Master Wisdom laughed and said: "In recent days, the construction team repaired the meditation room and knocked down a wall of the side hall. The monks went to stop the work, and the migrant workers of the construction team left. When I went to check the wall, I found that there was a wall The footing of the base was strange, and when I dug it open, it turned out to be a large jar that had been knocked upside down and sealed. At that time, everyone was very curious and said that it must be some kind of treasure, but I had an idea and told everyone that after the death of the local monks, they used the big altar. For burialing, there is an old monk who died before in this temple. I am afraid it is a skeleton now. Those people are too scared to open it. Actually, I don’t know what it is. I opened the jar in the middle of the night and found that it was empty. , only this axis painting is Peng Xueqin's ink plum painting, so I ask you to come and see it." Dongfang Changqing didn't have much research on painting, but he knew Peng Yulin.Peng Yulin is a native of Hengyang, Hunan. Peng Yulin, one of the four famous Zhongxing officials in the late Qing Dynasty, founded the Hunan Army Navy with Zeng Guofan.Later, the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Jin Dynasty was ordered to go to Guangdong to handle the defense, renovate the Humen fortress, strengthen the integrity of the coast, and went to the main battle many times. After the war, please strictly prepare for the battle to prevent future troubles.In old age, he returned home due to illness.Died as a commoner in his residence on the east bank of the Hengyang River.Presented to the crown prince Taibao, posthumously upright.Although Peng Yulin is famous for his martial arts, he is also a literary genius, and his calligraphy and painting are all outstanding.He was suave and suave, and fell in love with the girl Mei Gu when he was a teenager. Mei Gu passed away unfortunately. Peng Yulin was deeply saddened and vowed to draw 10,000 pictures of plum blossoms to commemorate his first love.Therefore, Peng Yulin's black plum blossoms are indeed treasures in paintings, not only of cultural relic value, but also of artistic value. However, could this "Mo Mei" be a counterfeit, if not, how could it end up in Dongjiang Temple?Dongfang Changqing couldn't figure it out for a moment. Seeing Dongfang Changqing groaning silently, Master Wisdom smiled and said, "Chairman Dongfang suspects that this painting is not authentic, and wonders how it got to Dongjiang Temple?" Dongfang Changqing couldn't help laughing when he saw Master Wisdom uttering his thoughts, and said: "Master can read people's hearts, Dongfang dare not hide it, there is indeed such a suspicion." Master Wisdom smiled and twisted his beard, and said slowly: "The old monk is not very good at calligraphy and painting, but he has also dabbled in it. In my opinion, this painting has a solid foundation, especially the flowing and elegant style. There is no such thing as a real celebrity or a real hero." Generosity. Painting techniques can be imitated by ordinary people, but heroism is not imitated by ordinary people. The old monk has been in Dongjiang Temple for more than forty years. I heard the old abbot say that Dongjiang Temple in the late Qing Dynasty The abbot of the temple, Master Huineng, is a master with a secret background. It is said that Master Huineng came to Dongjiang Temple when he was in his forties. Worshiping Buddha and talking with the abbot all night, what they talked about is unknown to outsiders. Later, according to folklore, Zeng Guohua, the fifth younger brother of Zeng Guofan, did not die for his country after the defeat in Sanhe Town, but fled the battle and was quietly sent to Dongjiang Temple by Zeng Guofan to become a monk. It is Master Huineng. From this, it is reasonable to infer that Peng Yulin, who also has a comrade-in-arms friendship with Zeng Guohua, gave him poems and paintings. However, these are all folk slang, and there is no way to verify them.” After listening to Dongfang Changqing, he suddenly thought of a pair of couplets in the main hall of Dongjiang Temple, and his heart jumped.The handwriting of the couplet is strong and desolate, and the content is even more magnificent: "Listen to the rushing of the pines, that is, this is the spiritual mountain. Go, find out how many heroes there are." The couplet was not signed, and when Dongfang Changqing first came to Dongjiang Temple, he was attracted by this imposing couplet, so he kept it in his heart.Thinking of this couplet, Dongfang Changqing estimated in his heart that this majestic couplet should also be written by Peng.From this, Dongfang Changqing basically confirmed that this "Momei Picture" is the authentic work of Peng Yulin, and it should be 70% to 80% sure. When Dongfang Changqing was thinking deeply, Master Wisdom kept looking at him with a smile. He saw that his heart was actually surging and his surface remained calm. Bar.At that moment, Dongfang Changqing raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Master, I really didn't expect there to be such a thing hidden in the temple, and I don't know how many years this thing has been buried under the wall, but now it has come out by chance and is finally seeing the light of day." Master Wisdom smiled and said: "Everything in the world is born due to fate. If Director Dongfang hadn't become the Director of Culture Bureau, I'm afraid there would be no way to talk about repairing the temple for a while. This axis of "Momei" can't come out, it's all because of fate." Dongfang Changqing asked: "Master, what do you want to do with this scroll?" "That's why I asked you here." Master Wisdom said with a smile, "Monks, people outside the world, although they dare not say that the four things are empty, they have already had no desires and desires. Mr. Xueqin's "Ink Plum" is here. , It’s useless to old monks and temples, wouldn’t this treasure be left out in the cold? Director Dongfang has made great efforts to repair the temple, and he has done a lot of good deeds. Isn’t it predestined for you that the comeback of "Momei" is destined?" After listening to Dongfang Changqing, he couldn't help but jump up in his heart. The subtext behind Master Zhizhi's words was very clear, and he wanted to give this painting to Dongfang Changqing.Although Dongfang Changqing is not a collector, he also knows the value of this "Momei" painting. This painting is different from those calligraphy and paintings of literati, and in a sense, it is more valuable.Although Peng Yulin claimed to paint tens of thousands of plum blossom pictures to commemorate Mei Gu, in fact, the number of his works discovered so far is not many. From the perspective of collection, the value of this painting is also very extraordinary. "Director Dongfang, I'm afraid that this painting was specially given to you by the Buddha who was moved by your sincerity in respecting Buddhism. As the saying goes, if you don't take what you want, you will bring disaster on yourself, and people can't go against the sky. This painting, you Just take it." Master Wisdom said with a smile. Dongfang Changqing hastily declined: "Thank you, master. However, Changqing has no virtue, so how dare he possess such a precious thing. Besides, I am a civil servant of the state, and I have to return the cultural relics to the state when I get them personally." Master Wisdom smiled and said: "Director Dongfang, it's not that the monk doesn't understand what you said. I'm also a member of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC. How can there be any reason why I don't understand policies and regulations at all? If this painting falls into the hands of others, it will be the same I really want to give the pearl to you secretly, but I will naturally keep my mouth shut to the outside world, so you can just rest assured." Dongfang Evergreen saw that Master Wisdom had figured out what was in his mind, and felt ashamed, and said: "Master is sincere, but I think too much. How about this, with Master's trust, I will take this painting back for safekeeping. Master, if you want, you can come and get it back. Changqing will definitely be returned to Zhao. However, the news must never be revealed. Private collection of national cultural relics is not allowed by the law. If the news spreads, this painting is not only useless in my hands, It's harmful." Master Wisdom held his white beard in his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Director Dongfang, you have a kindness in this temple, and the old monk will not harm you." The two of them talked about the painting for a while, and a young monk came in and told Zhaifan The preparations are complete, and it is time to fast.The two accepted Tan Xing and went to have dinner together.Then Dongfang Changqing wrapped the painting "Momei" with a roll of newspaper, resigned from the master, and drove back to the city. Back home, Dongfang Changqing couldn't help opening the scroll and hanging it in the living room, turned on all the lights in the room, sat on the sofa and admired it carefully, but felt as if he was still dreaming about the experience just now.
