Chapter 105: Celebration
When He Manzhou slowly came out of the bed, it could be regarded as making up for the spirit that was overconsumed last night, and those intricate emotions were also stuffed back into her mind, and she decisively decided not to think about it.
After all, Boss Bai said that everything is supported by him, and he will arrange the itinerary in the future.
As for emotional matters, what could be more useful than how to do what you think in your heart? Although sincerity is a very useless thing in many cases, for those who really care, they can only exchange a sincere heart for the sincerity of others.
So for those who don't, He Manzhou doesn't bother to dwell on it. Since Bai Yicong has an excess of protective desire and has nowhere to put it, and has told himself to be obedient more than once, then this time he will simply listen to him, don't worry about useless leisure, and follow his steps completely.
As for his connection with the ancient kingdom of Loulan, as well as who the little princess and the mysterious girl in the dream are, and what is the origin of this, it is not something that can be found out in a hurry. He Manzhou could only put a question mark in his heart first, and had the opportunity to ask Boss Bai on the side, and then slowly figure out a way from the subsequent investigation.
Adhering to the attitude of combining work and rest, He Manzhou didn't even plan to go out today, she simply washed up, and then generously nestled in the quilt and watched the variety show, a little bit really regarded this trip as a vacation.
The variety shows on TV are a little different from usual, probably because of the special date, and before the evening, several satellite TV stations have begun to broadcast the warm-up of the Spring Festival Gala in advance. The male and female hosts are happy to make phone connections, interview the New Year's wishes of the big guys, and do warm and special audience interactions, and even the floating windows of the show have more firecrackers and small decorations of couplets, which is very appropriate to show the annual New Year's flavor.
It was also at this time that He Manzhou suddenly remembered that today was already the Chinese New Year's Eve.
During this time, she was in a hurry, and every day she was either tossing with Bai Yicong about the entertainment that had to be put on the table, or she was entangled in the matter of the treasure of the relict king, which was completely one of the first two big. Twenty-four hours a day, I can't wait to break it into several pieces, not to mention legal holidays or New Year's holidays, and even a good night's sleep has become an extremely luxurious thing.
He Manzhou, who was so busy that he was on the verge of ascending, almost didn't remember that it was a new year so soon.
When he was a child, He Manzhou looked forward to the New Year the most, and the New Year represented a happy gathering of the family, a table full of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and a little careful thinking to get the New Year's money in hand. Other children hurry up to buy what they like when they get the New Year's money, but He Manzhou always likes to take the opportunity to pester He Sheng, take her to Biyun Street during the temple fair, and take the New Year's money as the capital to see who is stronger in picking up leaks and can get the most valuable objects.
At that time, He Manzhou was always overjoyed as soon as she bought beautiful objects, and on the way back, she had to describe her mental activities when she chose objects today, plus teasing her own father who lost the competition.
"I said Lao He, are you already old, you are not even as good as a little girl...... Cut, it's a shame. β
"So you have to study hard, otherwise you will lose next year, don't cry to your father. β
"Who will cry nose, I will go to junior high school next year, Bao Zhun'er knows more and more, it will be even more difficult for you to win me in the future, have you heard of the church apprentice starving to death? β
He Sheng was not annoyed when he heard this, he was happy to see the child's enthusiastic appearance.
When He Manzhou was a child, he still had a baby face that had not completely grown, and when he smiled, his clear and bright big eyes were round, as if they were precipitated with stars, which was particularly smart and beautiful. And as the corners of her lips raised presumptuously, two cute little dimples floated beside her cheeks, so that those childlike words were unexpectedly sweet.
It's supposed to be the New Year, as long as you can make her happy, what's the matter if you win or lose?
Just like many times before, He Sheng's broad palm caressed the top of He Manzhou's head, with obvious connivance in his eyes, and he unhurriedly responded to his little girl who had a big playful heart.
"Okay, that's a long time to refuel, and the objects in the museum will depend on you to grow your eyes in the future. β
Thinking about it now, He Manzhou felt that he was a little naΓ―ve when he was a child.
At that time, the little girl's heart was higher than the sky, but her eyesight couldn't keep up, and she leaked her mind in a few words, even if she could really see the quality of the object, how could she suppress the price? What's more, her antique appreciation skills were all taught by He Sheng, if he didn't stand behind her, it was estimated that the little girl at that time would be deceived in Biyun Street.
In fact, all this is just my father's implicit concern and unspoken connivance.
Later, when he grew up, He Manzhou didn't look forward to the New Year so much, probably because people would look forward to fewer and fewer things when they grew up, and they were gradually stumped by many mundane things, and they didn't have more energy to enjoy the simplest and most direct happiness.
However, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the family is still very lively, after all, He Sheng, an old professor with a strong sense of ceremony, is there. He always prepares to store New Year's goods some days in advance, and there are many dishes that are necessary for the New Year in the north. When He Manzhou is on vacation, He Sheng has to take his daughter to the night market to buy some firecracker couplets in person, and he must make the small family full of New Year's flavor to be satisfied.
He Manzhou didn't laugh at his father, such as - "Just our grandfather, make such a big table of dishes, who to eat?" If Sister Gu and Senior Brother Shen come, it's okay, catch up with the two of them and go back to their respective homes, a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner means that you will have to eat leftovers for several days in the future, and the last person who can't eat the new dishes is still the two of us, Old He, the grains are hard, remember to save." β
"It's good to be frugal, but it's okay to be extravagant when necessary. He Sheng has long been accustomed to his daughter's neither big nor small, and he just smiled gently at this time, "All year round, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, this is an indispensable sense of ceremony, not to mention that there are two of us at home now, even if you are the only one, you must take all festivals seriously." Not for anything else, just for the hope of a good future, to draw a good fortune in the new year. β
"Alright, alright, Professor, you always have a point. Then I don't want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs this year, the ribs are too greasy, so it's better to eat fish. When we stew chicken, we have to put hazel mushrooms sold in the small shop on East Street, and the soup is very rich. β
For these small requests, of course, He Sheng nodded and responded directly, just as he had been pampered with He Manzhou for a long time.
And when He Sheng was still there, these little things never needed He Manzhou to remember.
She has always been disgusted with her mouth, looking forward to it in her heart, and enjoying He Sheng's care. At that time, she always felt that there was still a long time, and she had time to celebrate the New Year with her father and enjoy those warm and quiet days, but she never thought that these times would have an end.
Such an emotion couldn't help but make He Manzhou's heart even more sour.
People's feelings are always a little lagging, for example, when eating hot pot or eating barbecue, it is hot and spicy, and you always don't feel any discomfort with cold beer. When I went home at night, I couldn't sleep, ran to the toilet several times, and had to take a few stomach pills to endure it, only then did I feel stomach pain and regret that I was overeating at night.
For example, there is not much reluctance when breaking up, the happiness of relief will temporarily paralyze the nerves of human beings, and then the long-lost freedom and chic make time pass quickly, so fast that it seems that the brain will default to leave is the right move. However, when I open my eyes at night before going to bed and in the morning, I suddenly realize that the lifestyle I have adapted to has changed, and everything is irreversible. The feeling of loss that pulls the heart to fall will make me clearly realize that there is really only one person left now, and that something lost is lost.
He Manzhou's feelings for Lao He are also like this.
Lao He has been missing for a whole year, and in the course of this year, He Manzhou has never given up looking for his father, but there has always been little hope, and in the end he can only do his best to make the worst budget. In the first month or two, He Manzhou was completely unacceptable, but the mess of the Tianwentang Museum still had to rely on her to support, and she had to cheer up and force herself to be strong, as if she could really accept all this and become independent.
But at certain times, this longing can no longer be controlled.
After digging deeper, it is probably the truth that He Manzhou understands, but where is the world so thorough?
People are all obsessed bystanders by the authorities, and they are explaining other people's things one after another, but when it comes to themselves, they become not the same, after all, there are too many things to think about and too few things to do.
This kind of emotion made He Manzhou's heart more and more uncomfortable, and even the laughter and laughter on the TV show seemed a little ironic, as if she was using the joyful contrast of the whole country to celebrate her coldness at the moment, which couldn't help but make her even more sad.
Who knew that He Manzhou hadn't been depressed for a while when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Miss He, who was holding potato chips in the bed, didn't think that someone would look for her at this time, and she was very sober about today's schedule. As a little cabbage in the field that no one loves without a headache, the time is almost up in a while, just order a good takeaway to treat yourself. He Manzhou has no hope for more things at all, is it possible that he can take the initiative to ask Boss Bai out for dinner under the strong stimulation of yesterday, plus celebrate the New Year with him?
No matter how you think about these things, you can't pull your face.
So at this moment, He Manzhou's first reaction was to feel that it was the hotel's cleaning aunt outside the door, seeing that the time was about the same, people came to change toiletries and clean up, so she even saved the steps to get up, and lazily shouted in the direction of the door.
"Please come in. β
Who knew that the people outside were very unexpected, and they didn't even mean to enter the door, but just continued to knock on the door.
He Manzhou had no choice but to raise his voice slightly.
"Hello, please come in, just push the door. β
But the one outside the door was too polite, and there was a bit of He Manzhou's posture of not coming in if he didn't open the door for him personally.
He Manzhou said that the five-star hotel is not ordinary, and even the service staff are so well-trained, which is too rigorous.
So Miss He had no choice but to put on a coat casually, get up and go to open the door for the cleaning aunt.
It didn't matter if she opened the door, and when she saw who the person standing outside was, her eyes almost didn't pop out.
"I'm leaning on my ...... Bai Yicong, what are you doing?"
