Chapter 254 Busy New Year's Eve(2/3)
Just call him Tong Fei!" Wu Xinping stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Zhang Junping was stunned: Is it so casual?
"Tongfei, I like that you can take your senior brothers and sisters with you." Wu Xinping continued.
"Don't look at your junior brother because he is young. His talent in painting far exceeds all of you.
The current level is not much worse than that of an old man like me.
Don't have any psychological burden. Talent is something God gives you. You can't envy it, nor can you be jealous.
Just like your master, he didn't learn how to draw properly, but he relied on his talent and diligence to learn and ask questions, and eventually became a great master."
"Master, how can we be jealous of our little junior brother!
We hope that our junior brother can become a grand master like Master in the future." Senior Brother said with a smile.
"I'm not saying this today to hurt you, nor to flatter you." Wu Xinping's name for Zhang Junping became smoother and smoother as he called him.
"Tong Fei will replace me as the manager of the painting shop next year.
He has a very grand plan, which is to promote our traditional culture and traditional art to the world.
Organize a world touring exhibition of traditional Chinese art.
Let’s fly together! I hope that when you implement that plan next year, you can give more consideration to you, my brothers and sisters.
Over the years, I, as a master, have not done much to help them.
Masters usually lead their apprentices to hold painting exhibitions and symposiums.
Only I, as a master, will only let them bring their paintings to the art shop again and again to enrich the warehouse." Wu Xinping became quite emotional as he spoke.
Zhang Junping frowned secretly.
He has a plan, but this plan must be implemented step by step to achieve a true win-win situation in the end.
However, now Wu Xinping directly revealed this matter in front of so many disciples.
It is estimated that tomorrow, or even this afternoon, the BJ art circle will know about such a plan.
This is tantamount to disrupting one's own plans.
"So, let's fly together! I hope you can fly together with your senior brothers and sisters. In the touring exhibition, I will promote the works of your senior brothers and sisters more.
Although they can't become phoenixes, they can still be handsome birds." Wu Xinping was still immersed in his own world.
The other disciples, at this time, had changed from being angry and dissatisfied at the beginning to being grateful to Wu Xinping.
"Master, you are wrong! Brothers and sisters are the phoenix, and I am the handsome bird flying with the phoenix.
You forgot, my name is Zhang Junping!" Zhang Junping suppressed his dissatisfaction and said with a smile.
"Haha...ha!" Zhang Junping's words made everyone laugh.
I don’t know if it’s really funny or just for fun.
Anyway, they all laughed happily.
Only Zhang Junping laughed loudly, but his heart was full of bitterness.
I worshiped this master, but I haven't seen the benefits yet. I created a big trouble for myself first.
Apart from anything else, who wouldn’t want to participate in an art traveling exhibition organized by the state?
They gave money and everyone rushed to participate.
Rather than making money, the exhibition tour only enhances their academic status in the art circle.
Everyone wants to participate. There are hundreds of artists at the same level as Wu Xinping, Wu Guanzhong and Qi Gong.
In addition to bamboo and wood carving, jade carving, root carving, sculpture, porcelain, silk, paper-cutting, etc., at the same level, there are hundreds of people who can be called masters.
It is certainly impossible for so many artists to participate at one time, and they will be divided into batches of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 for promotional tours.
Now, the news is out.
Look, it’s time for the Eight Immortals to cross the sea and show off their magical powers.
Not only him, but even Wu Xinping, the instigator, could not relax.
If you are not good, you will offend others.
Not to mention anything else, after Wu Xinping finished talking about this matter, the brothers and sisters all started to take the initiative to get close to Zhang Junping.
Zhang Junping kept his posture very low and talked to his brothers and sisters.
In his heart, Zhang Junping secretly shook his head, Wu Xinping had tricked himself now.
Zhang Junping just chatted with his senior brothers and sisters without saying a word, not even a reminder to tell the story.
It’s useless to say it!
This is human nature.
After about an hour, the brothers and sisters began to say goodbye and left one after another.
Zhang Junping also took advantage of the opportunity to say goodbye and leave.
Driving back to the courtyard.
"Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, happy New Year!" Zhang Junping knocked on the door of Uncle Liu's house and wished the two of them a happy New Year.
"Pingzi is back, wish you a happy New Year!" Uncle Liu responded hurriedly.
After leaving Uncle Liu's house, he went to Aunt Wang's house. In the courtyard, Zhang Junping went from house to house to pay New Year's greetings.
Then he went home and waited for others to wish him New Year greetings.
Zhang Junping took out a large bag of fruit candies, milk candies, and chocolate candies from the space. These are all imported candies.
The candies purchased at Double Headed Eagle for zero yuan should also be imported candies.
The double-headed eagle is famous for its sweet tooth and love of eating candies.
Of course, their candies are also famous.
Zhang Junping took out another large bag of melon seeds and peanuts.
After a while, the two Huaizhi brothers entered the house with their sister.
As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down, kowtowed to Zhang Junping three times, and said blessings in a decent manner, "Uncle Pingzi, happy New Year! I wish you great financial resources and promotion."
"Happy New Year to you too!" Zhang Junping helped the three people up, gave each of them a red envelope, grabbed a handful of candies, and stuffed them into their pockets.
The money was not much, only ten cents in each red envelope. Zhang Junping prepared the same red envelopes for all the naughty children in the yard.
A dime is enough to make the children happy.
No matter how much you do, even if you create conflicts, you will be taken for granted.
In fact, for children, lucky money is not as popular as candy.
Because even a dime may be confiscated by your parents in the name of helping you save it.
Only candies, melon seeds, and peanuts truly belong to them.
Before Huaizhi and the others could go out, a group of naughty children crowded in.
After entering the door, he immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Zhang Junping, and said noisy New Year greetings.
Zhang Junping each received a red envelope, a handful of candies, a handful of melon seeds and peanuts, stuffing their pockets full.
Just after sending the naughty children away, Li Wenjuan walked in.
"Master, I wish you a happy New Year! I wish Master a prosperous career, and I wish Master and his wife will have a son soon." Li Wenjuan respectfully kowtowed to Zhang Junping three times.
"Get up! Master will reward you!" Zhang Junping gave Li Wenjuan a thick red envelope.
This is his own disciple, so Zhang Junping cannot be stingy. Inside are ten brand-new ten-dollar bills.
"Thank you, Master!" Li Wenjuan happily accepted the red envelope.
"Master, isn't my wife at home?"
"What are you doing? Do you still want to ask your wife for another piece of lucky money?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"No way! If the master's wife wants to give it, I can't refuse it, right?" Li Wenjuan stuck out her tongue naughtily.
"Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Although your wife and I have received the certificate, we have not held a wedding, so she is at her home." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Xiao Li, do you know what Shu Xiu is?"
"I know! It's the ancient apprenticeship ceremony!
There are six kinds of gifts, including dried meat, celery, dried longan, lotus seeds, red dates, and red beans.
Dried meat means gratitude to teachers, celery means diligence, and dried longan means..." Li Wenjuan pointed with her hands.
Zhang Junping looked at her with a smile and said nothing.
"Ah! Master, you want to tell me that I didn't give you the Sixth Rite of Shu Xiu, right?" Li Wenjuan suddenly reacted and shouted.
"I have done more than self-cultivation, and I am not without any teachings." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
