Chapter 1023: Gift from Curator Wang

McAfee shrugged: "I think Nikita and Xiao Peng have a good relationship, right?"
Bloomberg shook his head: "Nikita and Xiao are friends. She looks at Xiao more like idols, and Xiao sees Nikita as ordinary friends. As for Georgina, alas, don’t mention it. Na is spoiled. It's impossible for Xiao to look at her with such an attitude."
Nikita looked at the two of them while looking at her direction while whispering, curiously asked: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Bloomberg smiled and shook his head: "I didn't say anything, you may not know that this Palace Museum is the National Museum of China, and their curator gave Xiao Peng a gift. We are wondering what we can give Xiao Peng. ."
Nikita said, "Don't you know if you go and see?"
Bloomberg nodded and said: "Yes, just go and see, go and change clothes! Alas, I really don't want to leave this hot spring. I feel a lot more relaxed after taking a bath!"
"It's true, it's really amazing." McAfee moved his hands and feet.
If Xiao Peng knew what they said, he would definitely laugh at how strange they are rare. There is a witch formation next to his hot spring, which can increase cell activity. It often bubbles here, which has great benefits for the skin and body.
When a few people went to the pier when they changed their clothes, I saw Xiao Peng squatting in front of some boxes to check one by one. There were a few old people standing next to him. The person walking in the front was wearing a suit and was accompanying him there. Laughing, seeing Bloomberg coming, Xiao Peng stretched out his hand to greet them.
Bloomberg and others came over and saw that the boxes were filled with things he had seen, which looked like musical instruments.
"What's all this?" Bloomberg asked curiously.
Xiao Peng explained: "These are our Chinese national musical instruments. For example, these are all Jinghu, but there are differences: this is Xipi Jinghu, this is Erhuang Jinghu; this is called Pipa; this is called Yangqin; This is the guqin... Anyway, the mess is all musical instruments."
"Are these all antiques?" Bloomberg asked curiously.
Xiao Peng shook his head: "It's definitely not an antique. Good antique musical instruments are of the national treasure level. At that time, the Palace Museum lent me a guqin called "The Music of the Great Sage". It was really a good piano! At that time, Eminem told me. In addition to a rap work that contains Chinese elements, I used that piano to sound his music, but I also gave me 700,000 US dollars a while ago, saying that it was the sale of that song. This super singer makes money. It's easy. It's not a problem to make millions of dollars for a song."
McAfee rested his chin and pondered: "Xiao, if I understand correctly, they gave you these musical instruments to take away the "Poppy Flower"? This is not an antique, not an equivalent exchange, you This seems to be a loss-making business."
Xiao Peng raised his three fingers after hearing this: "First, I lent them the painting. As for the money they make from exhibiting this painting, I don't care about it; besides, for me, that I don’t like "Poppy Flower" no matter how expensive it is. I still like our Chinese ink paintings. The third and most important point: You underestimate these musical instruments. These are all works of contemporary masters, and they are all good things."
"The work of a famous teacher?" McAfee asked.
Xiao Peng nodded: "Yes, just like you have famous violin and piano makers in the West, we also have instrument makers in China. For example, these Jinghu are all made by Master Xu Xueci. This pipa is the work of Master Yu Xiaolu. This Sheng is The work of Master Yan Genshan; this erhu is the work of Master Feng Mingjun, who is already the provincial representative inheritor of Suzhou intangible heritage; this Sanxian is the work of Master Song Guangning; this Guqin is the work of Master Tian Shuangkun... ... These people are China’s top luthiers. They can get their works, and they seem to be excellent. Curator Wang is very careful.
The following words are for Curator Wang.
Curator Wang said after hearing this: "Boss Xiao is very knowledgeable and knows the source of these musical instruments. I am afraid that Boss Xiao is not satisfied with my gift!"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "I'm so satisfied, Director Wang, I am ashamed of this gift. Why don't you give me a price? How about I give you money?"
Curator Wang shook his head and said, "Boss Xiao, I am cruel to say that. I am ashamed of what happened last time. Thinking about your mind, so many treasures are put in the Palace Museum. This is a righteous act. Compared with you , What am I? Don’t worry. I have kept a little private for so many years, and I know many people who like me. I know that you like these national instruments, so I have prepared this gift a long time ago. Not to mention, it is for you to bring back the China National Treasures in the country of Japan. Everyone can’t help but say one---"Serve"! Not to mention that you have found so many marine treasures for the country. These The musical instruments were donated by those who knew about Boss Xiao’s righteous deeds. These gifts did not cost any money at all. This is just the respect of the friends in the domestic collector circle."
Xiao Peng blinked: "Feelings, you are the generosity of others."
Curator Wang smiled and said, "Of course I have a gift." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to a young man behind him. The young man walked over with a piano box, "Boss Xiao, see if you like it."
Xiao Peng curiously took the box, and after opening it was a guqin with a scroll beside it.
"There is a guqin of Master Tian Shuangkun, why is there another one here?" Xiao Peng was curious, plucked the strings, and the beautiful tone came. Xiao Peng's eyes lit up: "Good piano!"
Curator Wang smiled without saying a word, Xiao Peng picked up the scroll next to him, and opened it to see a picture of a lady with a fine brushwork looking at a bamboo. When he looked at the signature, Xiao Peng's eyes lit up: "Guan Pinghu? Could it be that... Is this Guan Pinghu’s piano?"
Curator Wang was a little surprised after hearing this: "It seems that Boss Xiao is indeed a folk music player, and he knows Mr. Guan Pinghu? Yes, this is Mr. Guan Pinghu's piano."
Xiao Peng scratched his head: "No, no, no, curator Wang, this gift is too heavy! I really can't accept it!"
Who is Guan Pinghu? The son of Huaxia Guan Nianci in the Qing Dynasty! Who is Guan Nianci? At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the palace painter was the curator of the Qing Dynasty's Ruyi Pavilion. His paintings were the favorite of Cixi and Guangxu! Honorably call it "Mr. Yokoyama"!
Guan Pinghu did not shame his father. He was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially the level of guqin, which was really shocking. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was a researcher at the Institute of Folk Music of the Central Conservatory of Music! It can be called the highest level of painting among luthiers, and the highest level of piano playing among painters.
The best thing is that he not only plays the piano with great skill, but also with great skill! Among these gifts are the Guqin made by Master Tian Shuangkun, and Guan Pinghu is the master of Master Tian Shuangkun! His Qin Na is definitely the highest level in modern Guqin, not one of them.
Curator Wang laughed after hearing this: "This piano is also a decoration for me, and the sound of nature can only be reproduced in Boss Xiao's place. This is called'the virtuous dwelling', and it is better than violent violent things with me. "
Xiao Peng took a deep breath: "Curator Wang, in this way, I will accept your gift, but we are friends, so I have a gift for you in return. You must accept it too."
Curator Wang waved his hand after hearing this: "No way, no way, how can this work? Then the taste will change."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Don't think too much about it. I don't give you any antiques. I will give you a plaything made by myself. It is a gift between friends. Is this the head office?"
Curator Wang smiled and said: "Others don't know about Boss Xiao's craftsmanship, can I not know? The playthings made by Boss Xiao, there is no better gift than this."
Xiao Peng confessed to Pan Peiyu. Pan Peiyu's expression was taken aback. After Xiao Peng nodded at him, he called a few people and returned to Xiao Peng's courtyard.
In a short while, Pan Peiyu and the others came back. Director Wang was dumbfounded when they saw what they were carrying. He thought Xiao Peng could just bring him a small gadget. He knew that Xiao Peng had used hand-made pipes for Sun Lao and others. As a result, Pan Peiyu and a group of people moved out the big tea sea of ​​gloomy golden cinnamon in Xiao Peng's yard, and there were four carved wooden stools of gloomy golden cinnamon.
Now it's Curator Wang's turn to wave his hands desperately: "Boss Xiao, this gift is too expensive! I really can't accept it!"
Xiao Peng’s large floor-to-ceiling tea sea and four carved wooden stools are all carved from a single piece of gloomy wood, not to mention the above craftsmanship, just buy these pieces of wood for eight figures. Counting Xiao Peng's ingenious craftsmanship, it is not surprising that this tea sea stool sells for hundreds of millions! So Xiao Peng gave it to himself?
Although Xiao Peng usually puts these things in the pavilion in his small courtyard, everyone who has been to Xiao Peng knows this is a good thing! Old Sun looked hot, but this thing was too expensive, even if they wanted it in their hearts, they couldn't open the mouth. It turned out to be good, Xiao Peng directly took it out as a gift?
Curator Wang really didn't dare to accept this gift-it's too expensive!
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "This is just a gadget I made. When I made it, I was in a hurry and couldn't bear the temper, so I was still not satisfied with a lot of carvings and the like. Now it happens to be a gift for you. I can go back. Make another set."
Curator Wang's head shook like a rattle: "No, no, boss Xiao, I can't accept this gift at all. After receiving this gift, I will really be taken away for review."
Xiao Peng's eyes stared: "I gave it to a friend, who has an opinion? Curator Wang, can you accept this gift? If you don't accept the "Poppy Flower", don't want to take it away!"
Curator Wang smiled bitterly: "Boss Xiao, aren't you embarrassing me?"
Xiao Peng was also speechless: "What's going on these years? Why can't I give gifts anymore? Don't you? Don't take the "Poppy Flower". Don't take away the "Poppy Flower". I will hang it in the bathroom when I turn back and watch it when I go to the bathroom. Poop!"
"Uh, boss Xiao, I have a way, can you listen to it?"
