The next day, Meng Zitao went out with a box containing a heavenly inkstone, ready to go to the bank to deposit it. As soon as I walked downstairs, I met Aunt Qian who was carrying a vegetable basket.

Now the most frightening thing for Meng Zitao in the community is this Aunt Qian. Since Aunt Qian didn't agree to the girl she introduced to him last time, Aunt Qian seemed to owe him, and introduced him to him every once in a while, and she didn't stop if she didn't succeed.

During this time, seeing Cheng Qiheng's show of affection from time to time, Meng Zitao's concept has also changed a little, and he feels that if there is a suitable object, it is good to be in one place. Therefore, he is not as disgusted with blind dates as he was at the beginning.

But I don't know if he and Aunt Qian are in a hurry or what, the few introduced by Aunt Qian are all wonderful.

Let's just say that the one I went to see a few days ago was quite quiet, and he looked good at what he said, but when he arrived at the restaurant, the woman ordered a meal.

To be honest, since it is a blind date and there is no shortage of money in his hands, Meng Zitao feels that as a man, it is nothing to invite the other party to eat, but he can't be used as a mallet. A table of dishes, in the end, only a third of the food was eaten, and the last few dishes were only tasted.

Before Meng Zitao got the ability, his family was not very wealthy, and he also suffered when he was a child, and he didn't like such a wasteful girl. It's just that before he could say no, the other party came and said that he didn't feel for him.

At that time, Meng Zitao wanted to scold people, since you don't feel it, it makes sense to order a few dishes, order so much, completely treat him as a meal ticket!

Except for this strange thing, the rest of the few are not much better, so now Meng Zitao bypassed it from a distance as soon as he saw Aunt Qian.

It's just that he happened to meet at the door today, and Meng Zitao could only say hello hard, and he was ready to flash.

But Aunt Qian didn't plan to let him go, and said with a smile: "Xiaotao, are you busy?"

"I'm getting ready to go to the bank. ”

Meng Zitao smiled and moved out of the way and said, "It's strange that you're tired of carrying the dishes, so let's go upstairs quickly." Why don't I carry it for you?"

"Okay, that's really bothering you. Aunt Qian replied with a smile.

Meng Zitao's expression froze, and he wanted to slap himself twice, why did he say this? But there was no way, since he had said everything, he could only do this.

"Okay, I've got your heart, but I'm not old enough yet!"

Aunt Qian pushed Meng Zitao's hand away and said with a smile: "But, Xiao Tao, looking at you like this, it seems that you think I am a flood beast." ”

"Auntie, what you said, how could I think of you as a flood beast?"

Meng Zitao hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that there was no such thing, and said in his heart: "You are completely more frightening than the flood beast!"

Aunt Qian Huo Huo smiled: "Xiaotao, I also know that the few I introduced earlier are indeed a little unreliable, but I am also anxious for you, so I didn't screen more." But don't worry, this one will definitely be reliable, if it doesn't work out, then I'll immediately take a back seat. What do you think?"

"You also know how unreliable the ones you introduced are!" Meng Zitao sneered, and hurriedly said with a smile: "You say." ”

Aunt Qian said: "Actually, you are no stranger to it, you are still the first, the one from my friend's family." ”

"Didn't she say she didn't agree? Why did she agree again?" Meng Zitao had some doubts in his heart, and then thought of Aunt Qian's unreliability, a sense of foreboding arose, and he said in his heart, there won't be any more moths, right?

At this time, a few pictures flashed in Meng Zitao's mind, picking up the plate man, blocking the arrow, and being a father...... Anyway, the shadow area in his heart right now is quite large.

This is the last time, and if the other party is still unreliable, it will be relieved to get through it.

Aunt Qian said with a smile: "Xiaotao, don't worry, my friend's family is really a good girl, but she was going to go abroad for further study, so it is really not suitable to talk to you." However, due to some reasons, she does not plan to go abroad now, coupled with the persuasion of her parents, so she agreed. ”

Hearing this, a few pictures immediately flashed in Meng Zitao's mind, a girl who was originally going to go abroad with her boyfriend, but because of the chaos and abandonment, she could only choose to give up helplessly.

Or, the girl fell in love with a boss, who promised to let her emigrate, but in the end, the boss liked the new and hated the old, and the girl's dream of immigrating was shattered. And so on and so forth.

In fact, Meng Zitao didn't have to think of the other party so badly, but Aunt Qian brought him too much shadow, plus the other party originally disagreed, but now he has changed his mind. The combination of the two factors made him subconsciously think about this aspect.

At the end, Aunt Qian added: "She is really good, and she will regret it if she misses it." ”

Meng Zitao could only say yes to this, and then asked, "Then when is the other party going to make an appointment?"

Aunt Qian said: "She is traveling now, and she will be back in more than ten days, and I will contact you then." ”

"Gotcha, a lovelorn journey. Meng Zitao sighed in his heart, but he was also prepared in his heart, if it was really as he imagined, just forget it perfunctory, if the other party is indeed a good girl, and both parties can see the right eye, then try to understand.

However, how likely is the latter one?

But no matter what, Meng Zitao can only agree now.

"That's okay, that's it......" Aunt Qian waved her hand and walked upstairs in good spirits.

"I hope that after this time, Aunt Qian will really have to let herself go. ”

Meng Zitao smiled helplessly, and then went to the bank and deposited the inkstone in the safe deposit box in his name.

Coming out of the bank, Meng Zitao sighed "troublesome", although the bank is indeed very safe, but every time he has to check and check, and he has to let the staff open the box, he is a little bored.

Therefore, it is necessary to buy a villa, otherwise there will be more and more good things in the future, and it will become more and more troublesome, and you may not have to put all the good things in the bank, right?

It's just that since you have to buy a villa, you have to be better, and the geographical environment must be good, Ji Jing Yayuan he doesn't want to, but it can't be too bad. But if he wants to buy such a villa, the little money he has on hand is not enough.

Sell some of your stuff?

Meng Zitao immediately abandoned this idea, it was not easy to sell good things and then buy them back, so he didn't want to do that unless there was no way.

"Let's take our time......"

Meng Zitao came to the store, cleaned up as usual, and then made tea and read books, and lived a good life.

Originally, today was Monday, and Meng Zitao didn't think that there would be many guests today, but after a while, three people walked in, their ages ranged from their thirties to their forties, and they looked very similar, most likely brothers.

The eldest middle-aged man, wearing a down jacket and holding a calligraphy and painting brocade box in his hand, was the first to speak: "Little brother, do you have an appraisal master in your store?"

Meng Zitao invited the three of them to sit down first, and then said with a smile: "I am the appraiser of our store." ”

The three of them were all stunned, some looked at each other, and after half a sound, the boss who spoke first said with some hesitation: "Little brother, with all due respect, aren't the experts in your line of work very old?"

Meng Zitao smiled and said: "You are right, our industry has high requirements for experience, normally speaking, the age of experts is relatively old, but our industry pays attention to talent, if the talent is not good, even if the age is old, it is also half-understood, on the contrary, if the talent is high, the young age does not mean that the level is not good." ”

"For example, I still have a little experience in identification. And don't look at me young, but I started the industry early, and it's been several years now. Of course, if the three of you are not at ease, you can also ask for another master. ”

The three brothers glanced at each other, and the third child spoke: "Since we are here, we can't run in vain, let him see, can be an appraiser in such a big store, you can't have no ability at all, right?"

"Okay, let's see. The brothers thought about it, and although they seemed a little uneasy, they still agreed.

The eldest put the brocade box on the table, and while taking out the contents, he said: "This is a painting handed down by our ancestors, and it used to be kept by my father, but my father passed away some time ago, and our brothers pondered it for a while, and decided to sell it and divide it, so as not to affect the relationship between us." ”

Meng Zitao nodded in understanding, then put on his gloves and carefully opened the scroll to see that it was the Jiuzhi diagram drawn by Yun Shouping.

Yun Shouping was born in a declining scholarly family in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and was known as the "Six Families of the Early Qing Dynasty" or "Four Kings Wu Yun" together with Wang Shimin, Wang Jian, Wang Hui, Wang Yuanqi, and Wu Li in the early Qing Dynasty.

Yun Shouping's flower and bird paintings are well-known at home, creating a school of "boneless flowers", and although his landscape paintings have seen Wang Hui's painting after "changing the landscape to flowers", but objective analysis, Yun Shouping's landscape paintings are tall and beautiful, unconventional, and have their own uniqueness.

Like many famous calligraphers and painters, Yun Shouping's life was spent in turmoil, poverty, poverty and illness, especially after the death of his father Yun Richu in the seventeenth year of Kangxi, the family was even more difficult, and he was often bedridden, in order to live and pay rent, he had to sell paintings. So, I traveled between many places in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of the paintings and calligraphy of Yun Shouping that we see today were made during this period.

However, Yun Shouping's works are by no means miserable, just say that the painting in front of him depicts the slope of the stone and the winding water, interspersed with new bamboos next to the stone, and between the slope and the stone flowing water is the growth of precious Linzhi.

In China's traditional culture, nine means perfection, and Nyingchi itself is a precious medicinal material, and it is a good omen to see one in the wild, not to mention that there are as many as nine in the picture, which is a complete merit.

At the same time, the new bamboo and slope stones in the painting are also the objects that Yun Shouping likes to depict, and I can see that the bamboo leaves in the painting are tall and upright, full of vitality, which not only implies his gentlemanly demeanor, but also symbolizes the noble character of the literati.
