After Xu Wei got off the plane, he realized that he didn't seem to know any Japanese at all, so he could only be blind when he arrived in Japan.

The only gratifying thing is that obviously his teacher understands his situation better than himself. Mr. Guo found a Chinese foreign student for Xu Wei to be an interpreter, a very beautiful female Chinese foreign student to translate.

There were a total of five or six people who came to pick up the plane, and the first one was a professor of Shan Jing from Futian University. He was also a linguist, and he was an old acquaintance with Mr. Guo.

Shan Jing, who is in his 50s, bowed respectfully at ninety degrees, and held the right hand extended by Mr. Guo, "Senior Guo, welcome to Osaka." Change."

After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. Guo found that the person he was looking for was not here, but another student whom he had met a few times before.

"What about Xiao Xu, why didn't she come?" Elder Guo was startled when he saw the translator, and asked nervously.

"Professor, Xu Jingjing has something to do recently and has returned to China, so I will take over this job." Hu Xia, the handsome translator who spoke, explained.

"Oh, you are Xiao Hu, that former student of Professor Liu." Guo Lao looked at him and immediately recalled some things about him, "This is Xiao Xu, my closed disciple, you young people can have a good communication together comminicate."

When Xu You heard Mr. Guo heard his name, he straightened up quickly, and then shook hands with Hu Xia.

Hu Xia also stepped forward to shake hands with Xu Wei, and bent down in a bow.

It seems that international students studying abroad are more or less infected with some local customs and habits. Xu You once met a Russian student studying abroad who liked to eat Laba garlic, and he has long been familiar with it.

Afterwards, the itinerary was uneventful. The two first arrived at the hotel where they were staying. They were gratified, but nothing happened.

The two rested for a while, and then Shan Jing began to accompany them, or Mr. Guo went to a few places where Mr. Guo stayed when he was studying abroad, and then went back after eating a very authentic Japanese meal. hotel.

At 08:30 tomorrow morning, a special car will come to pick up the two of you for a walk around, and the seminar will officially start the day after tomorrow.

But Hu Xia also came the next day, and went out with the two of them for a stroll, but in the afternoon, Mr. Guo separated from them, saying that he was going to meet an old classmate who also lives in Osaka now. Just retired.

Xu You could see that Mr. Guo wanted to get together with his old classmate alone, so he expressed very intimately that he wanted Hu Xia to take him to see an open car park not far from that old classmate's house. art exhibition.

Xu Wei felt that she was more and more discerning now, and could tell that the teacher didn't want him to follow, so she had to talk to Brother Beizi about this.

And Hu Xia is really human sperm. In fact, this art exhibition is still where he said.

The art exhibition is still very good, although Xu Wei can't really see anything.

However, this is still a ukiyo-e exhibition, and the exhibits are all Japanese modern ink paintings and ukiyo-e works.

At least they all belong to the oriental culture, and Xu You can understand what they all mean.

Not all the works in the art exhibition have price tags, Xu Wei held up the booklet distributed free of charge in the art exhibition, and compared it with the paintings that said the works of Shancun Pine Garden, thinking to himself.

"Why is there no price for this painting?" Xu You asked curiously.

"Oh, this painting is in the private collection of the gallery owner. It is said that the author of this painting is a Japanese national treasure writer who passed away a few years ago. Her works are now priced at 700 million yen per inch." Hu Xia Looking at the brochure in his hand, he explained.

700 million yen per inch, or the starting price?

My painting looks better and bigger than the one in the exhibition. According to the price, it is about 5000 million yen. I didn't expect that picture of Japanese ladies to be quite valuable.

Xu You didn't like the Ukiyo-e painting of ladies that he had collected very much. If he studied the painting of beauties, he would have Tang Yin's works in his hand, and he would not be able to turn to the works of a Japanese painter.

Afterwards, the two of them saw that it was still early, so they went to the nearby snack street and walked around. They ate all their bellies before returning to the car, waiting for Mr. Guo to leave from his old classmates, and then returning to the hotel.

During the seminar, Xu You kept a very silent state. There was no way he could speak Japanese, and the staff here were almost all Japanese. Xu You could communicate with them in English, although he was in Japan. , it feels strange for a Japanese and a Chinese to communicate in English.

However, Xu You had a good chat with an old Italian gentleman. After all, Xu You was learning Italian, and his pronunciation was very standard, while the other party did not know Chinese, let alone Japanese, but only knew a little English.

The seminar lasted for three days, and finally it was a complete success. For most people, the past few days have been very successful, and Xu Er originally thought so.

Xu You even felt that not all Japanese people are that annoying, but something happened on the last day, which made Xu You decide that he must not have a good face towards Japanese people in the future.

The cause of the matter is this.

On the last day of the seminar, Mr. Guo made a final report. It is said that this errand is very honorable, and it is an honor that requires all the formal participants to vote.

Originally, there were two people with the most votes, one was Mr. Guo, and the other was a Japanese linguist named Takeshi Yamamoto.

Later, Mr. Guo won the honor by one vote.

This Takeshi Yamamoto didn't say anything at the time, but after the meeting, he invited Mr. Guo to his home to appreciate two Chinese calligraphy and paintings in his home collection.

This made Mr. Guo very angry.

It turned out that Takeshi Yamamoto had lived in China for several years before the founding of China, and these two things were brought back to Japan from China at that time.

Anyone who studies history knows what the Japanese in China did during that time, which is why Mr. Guo was angry.

A robber robs you of your things, and then tells you decades later, the good stuff in my house is what I stole from you before, and now I invite you to take a look.

No matter how good a temper is, a person will get angry, not to mention that the temper is not very good in the first place.

Old Guo was in a hurry, but he held on to his face and agreed with a smile on his face, but Xu Er saw that Old Guo's fists were tightly clenched, and he was trying his best to restrain his temper.

Takeshi Yamamoto's home is a very beautiful Japanese-style house, which can be regarded as carved beams and painted buildings. It is an old building with water, the floor is very polished, and there is a small fish pond with several koi in it.

Wearing a gray-brown Japanese-style yukata, Yamamoto showed Guo Lao and Xu Wei the Japanese-style tea ceremony.

However, ever since Mr. Guo entered Takeshi Yamamoto's house, the muscles on his face have been tense. No matter what the other party does, his face is expressionless.

This was the first time Xu You saw Mr. Guo like this, like a soldier on his way to the battlefield.

After Yamamoto finished serving tea, he began to exchange greetings with Mr. Guo. Mr. Guo had a sullen face and seldom spoke.

Although Mr. Guo knew that this was of no use at all, the other party might be happy in his heart and be able to make himself so angry.

After talking for a while, Yamamoto probably saw that the fire was almost ready, so he called the maid who was waiting for orders outside, and brought in the two calligraphy and paintings.

Xu You has remained silent since he entered the room, mainly because he didn't know what to say.But when the maid brought in the two calligraphy and paintings and unfolded them on the table, Xu You took a good look at them without attracting attention, then frowned slightly, and then put them down again.

There are two calligraphy and paintings, one is fake and the other is real.

It's not Xu Er's fault, after all, not all the things the eyes 'see' are correct.

Paintings are always unique. If there is one painting, it is impossible to have another one that is exactly the same, unless one is true and the other is false.

There are two real calligraphy and paintings of Yamamoto, one is Zheng Banqiao's ink bamboo, and the other is "Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix" by Ming Dynasty painter Sun Long.

Among them, "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" Xu Wei has never seen it before, but looking at the fluttering feathers on it, you can know that it is a genuine work.

As for that painting of black bamboo, Xu Wei has seen an identical one in Wang Shuai's house, with a bright halo on it and a bamboo-like character.

And this one, although it looks really good, but after seeing the real one, Xu You always has a feeling that something is missing when looking at this one.

Probably because the author's experience and strength of character are not enough, Xu Wei guessed, otherwise it would be considered a good work.

Yamamoto sincerely invited Mr. Guo to appreciate it with him, and the one he talked about most was the ink bamboo of Zheng Banqiao.

It can be seen that Yamamoto liked the painting very much, although he didn't know it was a fake.

When one of them was talking happily and the other was aggrieved listening, Xu You quietly nodded twice behind Mr. Guo's junior.

This is a small code between the two.

Mr. Guo wants face and likes antiques, but his appreciation level has always been poor.

Sometimes, in order to save face in front of others, Mr. Guo would take Xu Wei with him when he was visiting the antique street, and asked Xu Wei to help him look at the objects.

Click twice to show that the item is a counterfeit, once it is genuine, and three times it is a fake, you don’t even need to look at it.

Guo Lao was very angry when he heard it, but when he felt the hint from the little disciple behind him, he became energetic in an instant.

Looking at Yamamoto who was spitting and talking about how he picked up leaks, his face was still expressionless, but he almost laughed in his heart.

Mr. Guo thought that this would save the other party's face, but Yamamoto didn't pay attention at all, and then began to introduce the "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix".

"When it comes to painting, I say Yamamoto. I remember a very famous lady in Japan named Yamamura Songyuan. I heard that she was a female painter who was born for art." Mr. Guo felt that he could finally fight back. , My little apprentice picked up the leaks in the capital, and I haven't observed much in the past two days.

"Yes, that is a very good painter, and she is the most talented woman in our country." Yamamoto heard the other party talking about Yamamura Pine Garden. Muramatsuen is indeed the pride of Japan.

"My little apprentice recently got a new painting, which is said to be the work of this female artist."

Guo Lao pointed to Xu You and said proudly.

"Really? Is it Mr. Yamamura's work?" Yamamoto was very excited, but he returned to his previous calm after a while.

"Mr. Yamamura's works are very popular in Japan, so many lawless people imitate Mr. Yamamura's works for huge profits."

The implication is that what Xu You bought was fake.

"It's not right for you to say that, I just brought it too, why don't you appreciate it here?"

Xiao Mian, let's see how you beg me later.

Out of the country, out of Asia
