Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 334 A Pair of Seals

Xu Wenxuan looks a little thin and wears a pair of glasses. He usually looks like an old school teacher, and he is not very talkative.

But now when he was talking about philosophy on stage, he was in high spirits.

Zhang Zhong was also very cooperative, using his little philosophical knowledge to ask Xu Wenxuan from time to time, like a student eager for knowledge.

Qi Lin watched from below, and he couldn't tell if Zhang Zhong was trying to save face for Xu Wenxuan, or if he was really interested in philosophy.

Even Qi Lin couldn't tell the difference, and Xu Wenxuan couldn't tell the difference even more. Since Zhang Zhong asked the question, he answered it with all his heart.

Overall, this otherwise irrelevant exchange of philosophical thinking will become much more interesting.

After all the activities were over, Zhang Zhong and Xu Wenxuan walked off the stage hand in hand.

"Dean Xu is full of economics, and his speech is also very simple, and I have benefited a lot." As soon as he stepped off the stage, Zhang Zhong flattered him.

This made Xu Wenxuan feel flattered. Although Zhang Zhong is young, he is a great writer who attracts everyone's attention. His reputation and status are higher than those present. He did not expect to be so approachable.

Li Lifan, the dean of the Faculty of Arts next to him, said with a smile, "Dean Xu not only has superhuman insights in the field of philosophy, but also has unique insights in the field of political economy."

"Oh? Did Dean Xu write a book?" Zhang Zhong asked with great interest.

"There is a book." Li Lifan said.

Xu Wenxuan nodded, "There is indeed a book, and it's all about philosophical speculation. I published several articles in the school magazine before, and then someone asked me to publish a book. I heard that there was no money, so I agreed. "

I heard that I agreed without money...

However, Xu Wenxuan pointed out the current situation of the publishing industry. Most authors who want to publish books can only pay for themselves. It is basically difficult to sell things written by Xu Wenxuan.

With Xu Wenxuan's status, unless the book is linked to the exam, otherwise, few people will read his book.

It is not bad for someone to ask him to publish a book for him for free.

"What's the title of the book?" Zhang Zhong asked.

"It's called "The Path of Thinking", and it's not long. The articles I published at school before were not enough to make up the number, so I found some usual essays and some diaries and added them in, so that it can be considered as a book."

"How was the response?"

Xu Wenxuan shook his head, "It shouldn't be very good. The card for receiving manuscript fees is in the hands of my wife. If she receives more manuscript fees, she should tell me. She hasn't said it for a long time. It's probably because she thinks There's no need to say it, or maybe it's because I'm afraid of hurting my self-esteem."

Seeing that Xu Wenxuan's expression didn't fluctuate much, Zhang Zhong praised sincerely, "Dean Xu is so magnanimous, it makes people feel ashamed."

This sentence is not flattering. When people talk about this kind of thing, they are either ashamed or trying to cover up. They are rarely as calm as Xu Wenxuan.

While talking, a group of people stopped when they saw Qi Lin coming.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you very much for your speech, it was very exciting."

"I'm afraid that the students will think that I'm cliche and impatient." Zhang Zhong said.

"Teacher Zhang is humble. They have heard too much about the truth of the world, but it depends on who tells them."

Zhang Chong nodded with a smile, "Well, I'm glad to listen to the old talk, I hope they can listen to it. Principal Qi, where are we going next?"

Qi Lin looked at his watch, "It's almost five o'clock, let's go directly to the hotel."

……

On the way back to the hotel, Zhang Zhong looked at the box in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

This box was a gift given to him by Qi Lin on behalf of Jinling University when he was eating. It contained a pair of seals, both of which were name stamps, but one in Zhu and one in white.

The two seals have the same shape and similar lines. They are both carved from Shoushan Stone and are expensive.

There are two characters on the seal, "Zhang Chong" written in square seal script.

Qi Lin told Zhang Chong that it was carved by Master Lin Deyuan himself.

Lin Deyuan is a famous painter, calligrapher and sculptor in China. His seals are hard to find, but Zhang Chong got a pair all at once.

But this stone is not good enough, if it is the best bloodstone, it is the best.

Of course, it is impossible for Jinling University to be so extravagant, and even find the best chicken blood stone to engrave him a seal.

Unfortunately for Zhang Zhong, if he knew that Lin Deyuan would engrave him a seal, he should have prepared a chicken blood stone in advance.

This piece of Shoushan stone is not cheap, and it was carved by Lin Deyuan, so it costs at least 10,000+ to sell in the market.

But Jinling University is not at a loss. After all, Zhang Zhong wrote a picture for them, and even stamped the words on it. Their Jinling University's current "Encouraging Learning" is the only one in the world so far that has Zhang Zhong. Sealed word.

Even Zhang Zhong himself did not have such a thing.

As for why Jinling University gave him a pair of seals, Zhang Zhong guessed that this was probably their purpose.

But this time Zhang Zhong was only half right. The reason why Jinling University gave him a pair of seals was entirely because of Li Lifan's words.

After visiting the school history museum in the morning, Li Lifan found time to talk to Qi Lin about something.

The subconscious action after Zhang Chong finished writing before did not escape Li Lifan's eyes. He guessed that Zhang Chong was looking for something.

After much deliberation, he thought of a possibility that Zhang Zhong was looking for a seal.

Modern people don't have a strong awareness of such things as seals, and even Fang Keyin's previous painting didn't have a seal on it. It's not that Fang Keyin doesn't have a seal, but he doesn't have the habit of carrying a seal with him.

Seeing Zhang Zhong's actions, Li Lifan had his own guess in his mind. Maybe Zhang Zhong was also used to using a seal, but he didn't bring it this time.

"Maybe we can give him a pair of seals as a gift in return." At that time, Li Lifan said to Qi Lin.

Qi Lin frowned and said, "According to your analysis, Zhang Zhong himself must have a seal, otherwise he would not have developed this habit. And with his worth, the seal must be very valuable. If we don't give it well Instead, it backfired."

"Give me a medium one, just passable in face."

"Then he can't use it, after all, he already has a good one in his hand."

Li Lifan laughed, "It's not mainly for his use, but for our own use."

Speaking of this, Qi Lin also realized it, and went to Lin Deyuan to ask for this seal.

Lin Deyuan is a professor at the School of Art of Jinling University, and this face will still be given to Qi Lin.

But what they didn't know was that Zhang Zhong actually didn't have a seal, at least not in this world, and his habit of looking for a seal was developed in another world.
