"Uncle, I didn't drink...don't listen to Huiyin's nonsense..."

"She was the one who complained. I heard everything... I'm not going to lie to you. I haven't drank for a long time..."

"My body is much better, and the medicine has stopped...when?"

Chen Jingshu paused for a moment, looked at the red wine and goblets on the table, and a distant scene emerged in her mind:

The stainless steel pipe was about to hit his head, and he desperately protected himself in his arms... At that moment, he suddenly felt that there was an extra light in the gray world...

I took him to the airport and asked him when he would call me. He was a little panicked?It seemed inadvertent and normal, but only Chen Jingshu knew how much the moment his eyes dodge affected her...

At a meeting in the capital, in front of He Anbang, Lu Benzhi, and dozens of heads of exposition organizations, he said that he had found several pieces of jade and wanted to give one to himself... Although he couldn't see his face, he could at least feel: The earlobes are all hot...

At the National Expo again, He Anbang laughed at him for actually taking such a big project as a political achievement for himself. The sense of matter-of-factness deep in his eyes seemed to be saying: Isn't this what it should be?

When was it specifically, two months ago, or three months ago?
Can not remember.

Quietly, the feeling of depression, loss, hesitation, panic, and even the dull helplessness that makes people breathless fade away.

I rarely look at my mother's portrait in a daze anymore. I can fall asleep without drinking alcohol or taking sleeping pills. I won't wake up in the middle of the night, only to find that half of the pillow is wet with tears when I wake up...

It seems that unconsciously, the world has color, my heart has concerns, and life has meaning...

Thank you, Li Dingan!
There seemed to be a warm current surging in her heart, and she smiled softly: "Uncle, you don't have to worry anymore...Really, I'm fine!"

All right?

more than ten years...

Yu Sicheng was stunned for a moment, until Chen Jingshu said good night to him: "Uncle, please go to bed early. I have to go to Yu Huiyin to settle accounts... Oh no, let's talk to her... Goodbye!"

No...wait a moment?

Before he could speak, a blind tone came from the phone. Yu Sicheng looked at the hung up screen and was a little in disbelief: Is that great?

After living together for more than ten years, how many times has Chen Jingshu laughed as relaxed, cheerful, natural, and heartfelt as today?

You can count them with two hands...

After being stunned for a long time, he breathed out a sigh of relief and looked at the time again: Is it almost eleven o'clock?

The TV in the living room is still blaring, the faint aroma of wine lingers on the tip of the nose, and a chuckle can be heard from time to time.

Not going to work tomorrow?
Yu Sicheng shook his head, stood up and left the study.

She must have just taken a shower, her long hair was tied up on her head and wrapped in a cotton handkerchief.Wearing a plain nightgown, her skin is still as delicate as a girl's.

There were several snacks and a bottle of red wine on the coffee table. Jiang Xiuying shook the wine glass, and the waves of light reflected her beautiful face.

Even though she is over 40 years old, she is still beautiful, and her refinement and grace seem to be engraved in her bones.

"Lao Yu, do you want some?"

"What time is it and you still drink?"

"I'm so happy!" Jiang Xiuying stretched lazily and raised her wine glass, "It's all my fault Ada (Chen Jingshu), I'm used to drinking with her!"

Haha... on the child?It’s really okay to be a mother like you!

But after how many years, it seems that nothing has changed?

He sighed and sat on the sofa: "What are you so happy about?"

Jiang Xiuying put down her wine glass with a mysterious look: "You know, can we be friends?"

Yu Sicheng was stunned: Huiyin just told her not to tell her mother, but she actually knew?
"Who said that?"

"Teacher Su from the TV station: He said that Huiyin has a very good vision and is very accurate in judging people... What is this other than talking about friends? I was afraid that Nannan would complain about Teacher Su if she found out, so I didn't ask any more questions, but when I asked Sister Qin, she said she hadn't noticed? It’s quite strange…”

He has a very good eye and sees people very accurately... Does that mean he is a pretty nice person?
Yu Sicheng was already curious, but now he was even more curious.

After thinking about it, he confessed: "Don't ask in a hurry. Huiyin is always introverted. Do you like to nag and often scare her? Sister Qin is very attentive. If something goes wrong, you will definitely call..."

And next month, he will be transferred to the capital, so it won’t be too late to ask again then...

"I know!" Jiang Xiuying rolled her eyes and frowned, "What about Jingshu? She doesn't dare to ask, and she doesn't dare to urge her. Are you so worried?"

Yu Sicheng's heart skipped a beat: "We can't rush this!"

"What should I do?"

"Take it easy……"

"Take your time... take your time, is this always the case?"

Jiang Tuoying's face suddenly turned down: "Besides bringing her back, what else have you done? She was so small and timid when she first came here, and it made her heartache just to look at her... In a blink of an eye, it's been seventeen or eighteen years. , and she will be thirty in a blink of an eye?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. With a "tied" sound, the wine glass slammed down on the table. She got up and left, nagging as she walked: "Shoutou, am I really not your biological child? I just know that you can go to work, go to work, and you will go to work in the future." Let's go to work..."

Whether it's unreasonable or not, when have I never cared about it?

Yu Sicheng was a little confused. He came to his senses when he heard the door being slammed hard.

What you said just now is so good, but you can fall out faster than turning the page in a book?
……

The sun broke into the clouds, revealing wisps of rays of light.The city is like a scroll, full of brilliance and splendor.

Lei Mingzhen put his hands in his pockets, put on sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and whistled "shhhhhhh". He had just had his hair cut. The stubble was very short, and the green skin on the top of his head could still be vaguely seen.

With a height of 1.9 meters, he is as strong as a wall, and with his crab-like walking posture, he has an aura of "stay away from me".

It's not an exaggeration: the market was almost crowded with people, but when he walked in, everything within a one-meter radius was empty?
When I got to the door, I looked around and didn't see Li Ding'an, so I took out my phone again.

"This is it!"

Looking around, Lei Mingzhen's eyes lit up: a wide T-shirt, sweatpants, a ball cap on his head, and a pair of glasses... He really looked more like a student than a student.

"I just can't figure it out: I'm only three months older than you, right?"

He lowered his head and looked at himself, then looked at Li Ding'an and bared his teeth, "But why do we feel we are a generation apart when we share the same place?"

Li Ding'an stared at him: "Your skin is itchy, right?"

"Who wants to take advantage of you? My brother compliments you on how young you are..."

With a "bang" sound, Lei Mingzhen reacted again, "Well... since we don't have to go to work today, we just pick up leaks?"

"How can there be so many leaks? Let Chen Jingshu look at something first..."

"Who...Chen Jingshu? You just took Yu Huiyin around yesterday, and today it's Chen Jingshu? Let's not talk about others, just those few expert teachers, their eyes will pop out when they look at it?"

Lei Ming was really stunned, "Li Jianjian, can we stop playing so exciting?"

"If they know who Chen Jingshu is, can they just not go to the treasure appraisal area?"

Li Ding'an didn't panic at all, "Anyway, just take it easy and don't be surprised."

"No, why not change the place?"

“I saw a painting yesterday and it felt unusual, so I had to take a look!”

I understand: it seems that there is a real leak, and I am afraid that someone will buy it if I start too late.

No wonder you are dressed like this?
"Don't worry, when did I fall off the chain..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Dingan raised his chin again and said, "Here we come!"

Lei Mingzhen turned his head subconsciously and squinted his eyes: T-shirt, jeans, ponytail, and a bag slung across his chest with cartoon patterns printed on it... If he looked carefully, he didn't even put on makeup. , as natural as possible.The key is that she is so beautiful and looks so young that you can't tell she is already 26 or [-] years old... The two of them stand together, they really look like a college couple...

No, this outfit...have you agreed upon it?

Lei Mingzhen looked left and right, and found that Li Ding'an was also a little confused, and he understood: there was really a tacit understanding...

"Boss Lei!"

"Mr. Chen... don't!" Lei Mingzhen waved his hands quickly, "Just call me by my name, or just like Li Jianjian, call me A-Zhen!"

"it is good!"

She nodded and smiled at Li Ding'an again, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, I just arrived too!" Li Ding'an touched his pocket and took out two tickets, "Go in!"

"Ok!"

The three of them, one in front and two behind, walked towards the gate.

Lei Mingzhen deliberately walked in the front, and would look back from time to time. After one look, he would say "tsk", and if he looked again, he would say "tsk" again.

Li Ding'an stared at him: "Do you want to buy you a bottle of milk?"

Chen Jingshu was startled, then burst into laughter.

"You're the only one who wants to breastfeed!"

Lei Mingzhen tilted his body and tilted his head, sighing as he walked, "I just think...um...it's a good match?"

my day?

Li Ding'an's eyelids jumped up: If you ask Azhen, he paused for a moment. If he hadn't been about to say "du", he would have dared to twist his head off.

You bastard, I told you to take it easy, but you still dare to joke?

When Chen Jingshu is one of those idiots you know who is only thinking about money?With just one look, she could tell something was wrong...

He scolded Lei Mingzhen in his heart, and kept threatening him with his eyes. Lei Mingzhen said with a "scoff": "I'm talking about the clothes, okay?"

I believe you ghost...

Chen Jingshu smiled and nodded: "I'm in trouble today. I'll treat you this afternoon!"

"That's a good feeling..." Lei Ming gritted his teeth and handed over the ticket.

……

The doors opened on time at nine o'clock, and half an hour had passed. People were already coming and going in the venue.

They agreed to go see the painting first, so Li Ding'an didn't wander around and took Chen Jingshu directly to the second floor.

Lei Mingzhen was just in case, so he couldn't follow him too close.Only if Li Ding'an sees something, and if the same situation as yesterday with a bunch of people happens again, will he take action.

Of course, he won't be too bored: Li Ding'an said, A-Zhen can watch whatever she wants today, and he'll pay for it.The premise is that he has to go through it in the end before A-Zhen can buy it.

So Lei Mingzhen didn't go up and stayed on the first floor to wander around casually.

After walking around twice, he stopped involuntarily: there were several pictorials on the counter, printed in traditional Chinese characters, the paper was a little yellowed, and the publication date of the issue, all from the Republic of China period.

The key is the pictures: they are not only realistic, but also lifelike.

"The Illustrated Book of Erotica", "The Picture of Love and the Moon", "The Secret History of Jingni"... my goodness, is it more exciting than "The Dragon, Tiger and Leopard"?

In an instant, Lei Ming really couldn't bear to move his legs...

……

The two went up to the second floor and walked forward, passing "Miscellaneous items", "Around the study room", and then passing "Ming and Qing folk kilns" before Li Ding'an stopped.

"Foreign cultural relics?"

Chen Jingshu looked at the sign above her head and asked curiously, "What is it?"

"painting!"

Li Ding'an pointed inside and said in a low voice, "But I suspect it was painted by a Chinese!"

"Is it an antique?"

"Of course, it shouldn't be later than the Qianlong period at the latest?"

Oil paintings painted by Chinese people during the Qianlong period?

Suddenly, Chen Jingshu also became curious: "Let me take a look too!"

"it is good!"

Li Ding'an nodded and raised his hand again, ready for the salesman to pick it up. A slightly familiar voice came from beside him, "Brother, how many items were sold yesterday? Can you give me the list?"

He thought it was an internal manager, so he turned his head and looked at it, and then he was stunned again: No wonder it sounded familiar, they just slapped the table and had a quarrel two days ago?

Wearing a suit, his hair is neatly combed, and his appearance is not bad. Although he is in his early forties, it is obvious that he was a young man when he was young.

So the impression was quite profound: that Song Dynasty manuscript was his...

"Boss Lin, wait a moment!"

The salesperson responded, took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it over: "I just sold a sculpture for two silver coins!"

"It's less than [-]... When will this be sold?"

The man muttered and threw the list on the counter again, "Okay, let's get busy first!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, very simply.

After staring at his back for a while, Li Dingan turned back and glanced subconsciously.

There are quite a lot of things on the list, at least thirty or forty items, quite miscellaneous: bronzes, sculptures, Bibles, foreign ancient books, gold, silver and copper coins, etc.But the prices are not high, the cheapest ones are three to two thousand, and the most expensive ones are only one hundred thousand.

Well, "The Preacher"...isn't this the oil painting I saw yesterday?
There is only one portrait in this showcase, and only one of the portraits is of a monk. The others are either landscapes or stories.

So, that oil painting is his... hmm, right?
It should be said that the 34 things above are all his...

In doubt, Li Ding'an pointed to the list: "Who was that just now?"

"You mean that person just now...eh?"

He opened his eyes and glanced several times, "Is it...Mr. Li?"

Li Ding'an nodded: "Hello..."

"Oh, it's really Teacher Li... didn't you recognize it for a moment?"

The salesman smiled sheepishly and said, "The guy named Lin is an American. He should be in the antiques business. Anyway, he sent a lot of things... Not only do I have them here, but he also has them in several exhibition areas of calligraphy, painting, and porcelain." s things."

"how many?"

"I didn't ask specifically, but there are probably one or two hundred of them!"

Li Ding'an was shocked again: Good guy, is he really an antique dealer, or is he a foreigner?

When I think of the Song version of the book, I feel that this person has an unusual origin... (End of chapter)
