When Mr. Xiao heard this, he was overjoyed, but then he said with a sad face: "You are making it difficult for me. Needless to say, this painting will not be better than tomorrow in my hands, and the hospital will definitely know it. Alas...you are really making it difficult for me."
Old Liu patted Old Xiao on the shoulder and said, "You old fellow, you are so ungrateful. If the hospital asked you for this painting, you wouldn't refuse it! This is Xiao Jing's painting, you must stick to your principles."
Old Guo said with a smile: "If the hospital dares to force it, the worst that can happen is that the three of us brothers will resign together with you. Anyway, I have long passed the retirement age and have already completed the retirement process. If the hospital dares to take action, I will go to Lao Dan and risk my life!"
Cai Yi said: "Well, call me when the time comes, count me in!"
Mr. Huang also smiled and said, "As long as I can see this painting every day, I will help you deal with Lao Dan!"
The old Dan they were talking about is the current director of the museum. He also came to attend the apprenticeship ceremony of the four old masters this morning. At noon, he also had lunch at the main table with old Lu, old Geng and old Yang.
Although Mr. Liu was standing aside with his arms folded and smiling without saying a word, the look in his eyes was extremely firm.
Old Xiao said, "You are putting me on the fire! But anyway, for the sake of this painting, let's just roast me. I don't have much meat on my body, let alone fat. You can't roast anything good. I'm a poor man now, I don't care about these things!"
Then the old man turned to Yang Jing and said, "Xiao Jing, you can leave this painting with Second Master without worry. Before your museum opens, I promise to return it to you intact."
"Second Master, please take your time to appreciate it. After my museum opens, there will be many more good things for you to appreciate."
Old Xiao shook his head and said, "I can see the original painting of Along the River During the Qingming Festival in my lifetime. Even if I die tomorrow, I can rest in peace."
Several old men nodded, agreeing very much with what Mr. Xiao said.
For a master who has been immersed in the antique business for a lifetime, especially in ancient calligraphy and paintings, there is probably nothing better than holding the original "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and appreciating it every day.
Not to mention Mr. Xiao, I'm afraid everyone in this big circle is like this.
"What are you talking about? Your body is in great shape now, no worse than that of a young man. Maybe you can have an erection tomorrow morning?" Yang Jing chuckled and made a joke to his second master.
Several old men burst into laughter, and Old Man Xiao glared, looking extremely angry.
Yang Jing whispered to himself: "Why? You don't believe it? You will know it tomorrow morning. I am not talking nonsense. Do you really think I worked in vain this afternoon..."
The old gentlemen then remembered how tired Yang Jing was in the afternoon, and suddenly remembered how relaxed his body felt after the conditioning in the afternoon.
Several old men looked at each other, and a certain meaning was involuntarily revealed in their eyes - could it be that what Xiao Jing said was true?
Alas, there is really nothing we can do about this. All male animals, especially men, no matter how old they are, hope to be young again in that aspect...
A joke that was neither too big nor too small livened up the atmosphere. The eldest senior brother at the side said, "Dad, uncles, it's already this late, shall we go out for some midnight snack?"
Liu Minghan had his eyes opened today, and finally understood why his father and three other famous masters wanted to accept Yang Jing as his disciple. Liu Minghan is also a billionaire, and influenced by his father since he was a child, he is now very interested in collecting. He certainly knows the status of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in the minds of Chinese people in China and even around the world.
He really didn't expect that he would be able to see the legendary "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" today, and it was an authentic original!
So he simply turned down a very important invitation that night, even turned off his cell phone, and has been busy with a few old men until now - it's almost twelve o'clock.
If Liu Minghan hadn't said it, they wouldn't have known. After he said it, the old men realized that it was almost twelve o'clock. Not to mention, after Yang Jing's conditioning in the afternoon, the old men didn't feel tired at all. Coupled with the sudden appearance of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", the old men were now very excited.
However, people are made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will feel hungry. Just now, because of the excitement, they didn't feel anything. Now that they have relaxed, they feel that their stomachs are going to rebel.
Mr. Liu said to his son, "You decide on the arrangements. Try to keep it simple."
Mr. Xiao waved his hand and said, "I won't go. Xiao Jing gave me this painting. I don't dare to go out to eat with it. Minghan, please arrange a car for me. I have to put the painting back to my treasure room. Carrying this thing with me is like a bomb. I am so nervous!"
Laughter rang out in the room again.
