"Teacher He, are you here?" Ye Xiaochi immediately went over to greet them.

Teacher He was still indifferent, and only said: "This is my friend, surnamed Cui, who wants to choose a stone for engraving." ”

He looked reluctant to talk more, so Ye Xiaochi didn't ask much, and politely led them to see the goods.

She knew that Teacher He deliberately wanted to keep a distance from her and Dong Qing, but she wasn't really too lazy to talk to her, so she didn't mind being indifferent to him. Smile and let them choose.

Teacher Ariga is an expert, so you don't need her to introduce anything, just watch from the side.

The person surnamed Cui is about the same age as Teacher He, but he is in a very good mental state, his body is well-proportioned, and his skin is also a healthy bronzer, making him look young.

He looked at Ye Xiaochi's young age, and said with a smile: "Lao He, why are you holding a strained face again, don't scare the little girl." ”

Teacher He didn't look back, only said, "She won't." ”

Ye Xiaochi himself also testified for Teacher He: "It's okay, I've met Teacher He a few times, I can't be scared, you choose slowly." ”

The surnamed Cui saw that Ye Xiaochi really didn't care, so he didn't say anything more, and looked back at the hibiscus stones on the shelves.

Although the pile is hibiscus stones, the colors are different, not only there are differences in shades, but there are also some color bands on some stones, which shows the beauty of these stones.

The person surnamed Cui looked around and felt quite satisfied, the goods in this store were really as Lao He said, quite complete.

He picked up the goods very quickly, and soon selected two hibiscus stones, and picked a smaller Qingtian stone, and then said to Mr. He: "You carve this Qingtian stone for me into a plain chapter, I will keep one for myself on the hibiscus stone, and you can carve a lion head button for the other one." When I come back from Qingliang Mountain, I can carve it. ”

Teacher He was slow to pick up, and when he said this, he didn't raise his head, and said, "Can you come back in half a month?"

"I won't come back. The weather is pretty good now, but the vegetation on the mountain is thick, and the road is not easy to walk, and it will not be too fast. Besides, I'll have to walk around the area after I go down the mountain. ”

Teacher He also chose one at this time, and replied to him: "You are still chic, just leave, and you don't have to sit in class, all year round, the famous mountains and rivers are not old and young." ”

The surname Cui smiled, which was regarded as acquiescing to his words. Ye Xiaochi listened to it and said: "Mr. Cui is so chic, but he has the demeanor of Mr. Xu Xiake." ”

"Little girl, you also know Xu Xiake, you have won the prize, it is really a prize. How dare I compare with others. The surnamed Cui immediately said with a smile.

Teacher He said: "Actually, it's not an award, I think there is one thing you are better than Xu Xiake." ”

"Okay, Lao He, in my lifetime, I can still listen to you praise me once. You're not sarcastic, are you?"

"What are you sarcastic about? I'm serious. Xu Xiake wanders among the mountains and rivers all the year round, he doesn't care about earning money, he has a family to support. Aren't you better than him in that?"

Then he turned back to Ye Xiaochi and said, "Lao Cui, he is a visiting professor at our Academy of Fine Arts, he is very famous for his calligraphy and painting, and he has a lot of titles. He would occasionally come to a class, and he would usually run around the country, and when he was short of money, he would draw a few pictures and write a few words to earn it. Who has him to live in style?"

What Mr. He said is also the truth. The surname Cui goes out and walks around a lot, and the paintings he draws are more agile and imposing, which is very easy to sell.

"I said, Mr. Cui, you look very healthy like this, but you have an elegant temperament. It turned out to be an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, and he was really clumsy just now. ”

Zuo Yucheng had already helped Ji Zhengkun change his clothes at this time, and opened the door of the inner room, so he could clearly hear Ye Xiaochi giving these flattering words that didn't need money to the surname Cui one after another. I thought that this girl had never said a good word to him.

Although this person Zuo Yucheng had never seen a real person before, he had seen photos and his interviews, and knew that this person's reputation was not low. The surname is Cui, and his name is Cui Dayuan.

Teacher He thought to himself: I just said that I can't talk to this girl more, he wants to see Lao Cui for a while, but he is embarrassed to bargain with her?

Cui Dayuan has seen the world, and his immunity to praise is relatively strong. But the person opposite is a little beauty, and what he said is very pertinent. Cui Dayuan still couldn't avoid vulgarity and felt very useful.

With a smile on his face, he waved his hand and said, "Wherever you are, it's a fool." I can't stay in one place. ”

Ye Xiaochi didn't look for those words of praise again, those words were not beautiful if they said too much, she asked: "I heard Teacher He just say that Xu Xiake doesn't need to earn money by himself, and he has a family to support. I've never heard of this, and I don't know much about history. ”

Teacher He threw this topic to Cui Dayuan: "Let Lao Cui tell you, his attainments in history are quite deep." ”

Ye Xiaochi turned to Cui Dayuan, looking expectant, she was really a little curious. In this job, I can often see people at Mr. He's level, many of whom are knowledgeable and talented, and sometimes they can know things she didn't understand before with a few words.

"Okay, if you don't think I'm verbose, then I'll tell you a few words about Xu Xiake's family. ”

At this time, Ji Zhengkun came out of the inner room by himself, walked behind Ye Xiaochi gently, and a head emerged from behind her, listening to the adults. This child loves to watch the excitement, and when people talk, they will drill into the crowd.

Ye Xiaochi took his hand and listened to Cui Dayuan speak: "Xu Xia's ancestor is a big family in Jiangyin, a famous family. The family's land is in units of 10,000 yuan, tens of thousands of acres! His family has always been not short of money from his ancestors to his generation. ”

Ji Zhengkun looked at Cui Dayuan with round eyes, Ye Xiaochi also listened carefully, Cui Dayuan was interested in continuing to speak, and said: "If you want to say that Xu Xia is the ancestor, there is a person, named Xu Jing, who is his ancestor. Xu Jing once sat in the same boat with Tang Yin and Tang Bohu, and the two of them were going to Beijing to participate in the examination. After the results were released, they all did well, but it's a pity?"

Ye Xiaochi heard him say this, knowing that this matter was not so smooth, there must be twists and turns in it, Cui Dayuan threw down this thread, she had to take it, so he said: "What is a pity?"

It's a pity that the questions in that exam were too difficult and weird, and others couldn't answer them, so they won a guess before the exam, and they both did well. You said that it is a good thing to pass the exam, right, but these two people are not low-key people, and no one else will do it, but they say that it is not difficult. What happened to the result, let other candidates sue him, saying that Xu Jing is rich, he must have bought the question. This matter is quite big, and the emperor said to investigate. However, there is no actual evidence. In the end, in order to calm public opinion, the results of the two people were all invalidated, and they didn't want to take the test again in the future. Look, it's wrong. ”

Ye Xiaochi said: "It's quite wronged, if this doesn't happen, Tang Bohu's life will be rewritten." ”

"Yes, if there is no such thing, Old Tang will not be so poor. ”

At this time, Dong Qing came back, came in with a bag of big pears, and when he saw Teacher He, he immediately greeted him.
