Beauty's enchanting bodyguard

Chapter 68
"Meiran, long time no see."

A man in his thirties, wearing a white Armani suit, opened the door and entered.The hair is short and looks extraordinarily energetic. He is 1.7 meters tall and has a thin body.However, coupled with his pair of black-framed eyes, he has a bit of a gentle taste.As soon as he entered the door, his gaze was fixed on Su Meiran who was wearing a dark green long dress, and he spoke softly.

"Sit down, Mr. Zhou." Su Meiran forced a smile, and said bluntly.

"Just call me Dushu." The man who came in found a seat and sat down, smiled politely and said to Su Meiran.There was a natural elegance in the tone.

"This is my younger brother Su Gang." Su Meiran pointed to Su Gang, then pointed to Xiao Yi hesitantly and said: "This is my friend Xiao Yi."

Zhou Dushu immediately looked at Su Gang and Xiao Yi in the room, smiled brightly, showing his white teeth, and greeted politely: "Hi, I'm Zhou Dushu, I just came back from America."

Su Gang forced a smile, nodded, and said hello.On the other hand, Xiao Yi didn't give Zhou Dushu face at all, he just kept a blank face, he didn't even bother to hum.

Su Meiran immediately realized the embarrassing scene in the room, she smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, this Manyu Black Tea House perfectly combines Chinese and Western flavors. Mr. Zhou, you can order whatever you like."

After all, Su Meiran is a shrewd woman, her words are not too kind, but they are not the kind of repulsive feeling.After all, this blind date was decided by parents.She, Su Meiran, did not dare to be too presumptuous.

"Good, good, great." Zhou Dushu seemed to feel that Su Meiran was considerate and thoughtful.Choosing such a place is to take care of each other's flavors.After taking the menu, I immediately talked eloquently: "I ordered an American T-bone steak. I often eat this dish at the University of Washington in the United States. It tastes oily but not greasy, and the color is very beautiful. The medium-rare T-bone steak has a smell Bite hard, you can all try it.”

"Order and order, it's still the steak, what's there to eat?" Xiao Yi immediately looked reluctant when he heard that it was this kind of steak again.

"Mr. Xiao, this steak is really a common sense." Zhou Dushu's memory is really good, he called out Xiao Yi's surname, and then talked eloquently: "To make this T-bone steak, first take 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Then flatten it Heat the pot and fry the T-bone steak to the desired degree of doneness, take it out and put it on the main dish. Then, fry the onion and bacon in the pot, soften and pour in red wine. Finally, add a little yellow wine after the alcohol evaporates Cream, make a gravy, and season properly, and pour over T-bone steaks when serving."

After bragging about how to do it like no one else, Zhou Dushu was even more glorious, and continued to show off his knowledge: "This T-bone steak has the charm of red wine. It is most suitable for this occasion."

Xiao Yi had already heard that he was drowsy and didn't have the slightest interest in this kind of cuisine.Immediately, hehehe asked lazily, "It seems that you are a chef, right? Are you so good at making this kind of sandwich steak?"

"Chef?" Zhou Dushu was taken aback for a moment, and then his face became even brighter.Slightly raised his pointed chin, and said proudly: "I returned from my Ph.D. at the University of Washington, why am I willing to be a chef? I have a Ph.D. in management, and I plan to take over the family business after I return to China. As for this The way of growing cuisine is something I taught myself in my spare time.”

"Oh." Xiao Yi responded in a low voice, for Zhou Dushu's enthusiasm, he just responded with a basin of cold water.

"Meiran, I met you when I was a child. I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are more and more beautiful. Fortunately, you are not married. When I return to China this time, the first thing I want to do is to find you." Zhou Dushu would not bother to pay attention Xiao Yi, a twittering country bumpkin, handed the menu to Su Meiran and started to strike up a conversation.

"Really?" Su Meiran replied absent-mindedly, and then buried her head in looking at the menu.

Su Meiran was slightly disgusted with this kind of family marriage.Coupled with Su Meiran's special judgment on people, it can already be seen that Zhou Dushu is still as proud and self-satisfied as he was when he was a child.This just came in, and started to show off his knowledge on his own.

This made Su Meiran start to loathe Zhou Dushu from the bottom of her heart.

"Meiran, what have you been doing all these years? Do you have any hobbies? Let's go to some activities after dinner." Zhou Dushu stared at Su Meiran who was buried in the menu, his eyes became a little hotter, and he took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"I don't have any hobbies, I'm helping the family with the company." Su Meiran raised her head slightly, and responded politely.

"Girls, it's better to have more hobbies." Zhou Dushu sighed alone, and then began to talk: "I have been abroad for these years, and I have been receiving advanced Western cultural knowledge all the year round, but my hobbies..."

"It's over." Xiao Yi interrupted Zhou Dushu's words, his eyes turned slightly cold, and he asked his own question: "What is accepting advanced Western cultural knowledge all the year round, isn't our local culture advanced?"

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Su Gang nodded in agreement.Most people don't have a good impression of vanity things that worship foreigners.Even the absent-minded Su Meiran frowned slightly.

"Mr. Xiao, that's not what I meant." Zhou Dushu raised his head, and looked at Xiao Yi who had been confronting him with a bit of sharpness in his eyes.A trace of sullenness flashed across his face, but in the end he suppressed his inner emotions, and said calmly: "The local culture naturally has its essence. Over the years, I have been interested in Chinese piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, and ancient Chinese scriptures. Even Chinese medicine and acupuncture are slightly involved."

"Oh, Mr. Zhou is really a great talent." As soon as Su Gang heard that Zhou Dushu had dabbled so extensively this week, he immediately asked: "I don't know Mr. Zhou, can you talk about what you have dabbled in recently? "

"Calligraphy, of course, is Chinese calligraphy." Zhou Dushu was not stage-frightened at all, but immediately began to talk with a face full of complacency: "Recently, I have studied Xiaozhuan in the field of Chinese calligraphy, and I have gained a lot of experience. Since Qin Tongli six In China, Chinese characters were unified, and Xiaozhuan became popular as a widely circulated font. I recently saw an ancient copybook "Chen Jihe Shu" in the Qin Dynasty, which really surprised me. The strokes are complex and the form is ancient. The shape of the characters is rectangular, and the structure Symmetrical, giving people a sense of tallness and beauty. I really have to sigh, the profoundness of Chinese characters. In my opinion, Zhao Zhiqian's "Chen Jihe Book" is indeed a treasure of the Chinese clan."

These words indeed revealed Zhou Dushu's profound knowledge.The brothers and sisters of the Su family were both stunned at this moment, and a trace of amazement flashed in their eyes.It seems that this week's only son of a rich dude is not ignorant.There is indeed still a little bit of proud capital in my belly.

"Mr. Zhou, you are indeed very knowledgeable, which Meiran admires." Su Meiran raised her head and praised Zhou Dushu.

"Don't dare to take it seriously, it's just that I have dabbled a lot in these years. Occasionally, I have some experience." Zhou Dushu's face was radiant, and his whole heart wanted to float above the clouds.After showing off for so long, he finally won the praise of the beauty.

Unexpectedly, just when Zhou Dushu was complacent for a while.However, Xiao Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing, leaning forward and back, laughing because his forehead hit the table in front of him.

"Mr. Xiao, what are you laughing at?" Zhou Dushu raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Xiao Yi more and more unkindly.

"I laugh at you, it's ridiculous." Xiao Yi took a deep breath and stopped his laughter.Then, looking at Su Meiran, she reprimanded: "Stupid woman, what a fart you admire him."

There is absolutely no problem in fooling others with what Zhou Dushu said just now. Indeed, not many people dabble in Xiaozhuan, a form of ancient calligraphy.However, Xiao Yi is different. He copied ancient scriptures since he was a child, and he has definitely reached a supreme height in calligraphy.What Zhou Dushu said just now fell in Xiao Yi's ears like a big joke.

"Laughing at me?" Zhou Dushu's face turned blue, and he immediately said with a stern face, "Since you dare to laugh at me, then Mr. Xiao will say something. I, Zhou Dushu, have not been laughed at by anyone for many years."

"I'm just laughing at you." Xiao Yi stared at Zhou Dushu on the opposite side, and said coldly: "Since I want to talk about one, two, three, then you can listen to me. The ancient text post "Chen Jihe Book" just now , It’s not like you just made up your mouth. That pair of characters was not born in the Qin Dynasty when Xiaozhuan spread, but was made by the masters of calligraphy in the Qing Dynasty. Although Zhao Zhiqian was a famous calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty, this pair of characters is not his. "Chen Jihe Shu" is the running script of Deng Shiru, a famous calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty. You said, is the show off you just made up just now ridiculous?"

At the end, Xiao Yi especially raised his volume.Every word carries a supreme aura, as if it can collapse mountains and crack rocks, full of power.

Talking about calligraphy with Xiao Yi is like playing big swords in front of Guan Gong.

"Hmph." Zhou Dushu snorted coldly, and said with a rebellious face, "Whatever you say is what you say? In my opinion, it happened to be the work of Zhao Zhiqian in the Qin Dynasty."

"It's not fun to make excuses." Xiao Yi sneered, then stared at Zhou Dushu in front of him, and asked loudly: "Then tell me, what is written in that copy of "Chen Jihe Book"?"

Hearing Xiao Yi's pressing question, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhou Dushu's forehead.After being silent for a while, his face became more and more difficult to look at.The so-called "Chen Jihe Book" is just a few pages occasionally flipped through, in case it is not used for show off.If he really talked about one, two, three, then Zhou Dushu really couldn't tell.

"Then tell me, what is the "Chen Jihe Book" about?" Zhou Dushu was not weak, but asked Xiao Yi back.

"Listen." Xiao Yi was not afraid, and immediately answered slowly and calmly: "Deng Shiru's family has two cranes. It is said that the age of these two cranes is at least 130 years old. One day, the female crane died, only ten years apart. A few days later, Deng Shiru's first wife, Shen Shi, also passed away one after another. This coincidence created many associations among the literati at that time.

59-year-old Deng Shiru was extremely sad, and the male crane also cried alone, and they depended on each other for life.Because he couldn't bear to see the lonely crane look sad, Deng Shiru chose Jixianguan Buddhist Temple, [-] miles away, to foster the crane in the monk's house.From then on, he carried food to feed the cranes, and went back and forth for thirty miles, persevering every month.Suddenly, another day, he was staying at the Daming Temple in Yangzhou, and he received a report that the male crane was favored by the prefect of Anqing, and he was taken back to the mansion.He set off immediately and rushed back to Anqing, and wrote the "Chen Jihe Shu" in cursive script to express his feelings to the magistrate to Suohe. "

This time-honored allusion came slowly from Xiao Yi's mouth, and everyone present was fascinated by it.At the same time, Su Meiran and Su Gang have already confirmed in their hearts that Xiao Yi said every bit about "Chen Jihe Book" in a precise manner, and nine out of ten are true.As for Zhou Dushu, nine times out of ten it was all nonsense.

The two looked at Zhou Dushu suspiciously, with a trace of disdain in their eyes.Zhou Dushu blushed, and his thin and pointed face immediately looked like a monkey's butt.

"Zhou Dushu, Zhou Shushu." Xiao Yi stared at Zhou Dushu in front of him, and said playfully, "Your parents didn't give you the wrong name, they asked you to read books every week and read more books. But you are disobedient. Now, do you know where your problem is? Your problem is that you don’t read much, think too much, and talk too much.”
