Zhou Yanqing's gesture of grinding ink is very standardized, the amount of water poured is controlled just right, and the grinding surface of the ink ingot is placed flat on the inkstone, and the force is even. The speed is uniform, grinding in one direction. is obviously a very simple action, but Zhou Yanqing did it very well, as if it had become a landscape.

His fingers are slender, his bones are distinct, and his nails are neatly trimmed. Although there are scars on the knuckles, it does not prevent the good-looking of his hands, but adds a bit of fortitude, and it is not too slender like a woman's hand.

The scent of ink spreads. Cheng Xunxun turned his gaze. He opened the first page of the Jizo Sutra and said, "I have this heart, but I don't know if I can do it well." ”

Zhou Yanqing was almost finished, so he placed the ink ingot on one side. With his hands behind his back, he raised his chin and said, "Write it, I'll take a look." ”

He said so. Cheng Xunxun suddenly became a little nervous, she wrote it herself, it's nothing, the words are ugly, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's for herself. But this week, when Yanqing poked at her side, it became different, just like when she was writing homework, the teacher was standing next to her, nervous, for fear that she would not be able to write well.

Well, they say that when copying scriptures, it is better to copy them without distractions, so that it can be useful. ”

"It's okay, you just don't exist for me, and I won't get in your way. Write it. Zhou Yanqing's eyes fell on the paper, her expression was calm, and she seemed to be very interested in watching her write.

But also, in this temple, it probably depends on her writing a little interesting, and it is impossible for him to follow Dou Lanying to worship the Buddha sincerely. Then why didn't the mage leave, why didn't he keep chatting with him, how good, so that he wouldn't have time to care about her.

Cheng Xunxun bit the tip of the pen, looked out of the door with dark eyes, and was racking her brains to think of Zhou Yanqing, she raised her head slightly, and just saw his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a very shallow smile in her eyes, she knocked lightly on the table and said, "Write, why don't you write." ”

"Where is the mage?"

"He has something to deal with, and he won't be able to come back for a while, write it, if you don't write again, the ink will be dry. ”

Cheng Xunxun knew that he couldn't escape, so after thinking about it, he straightened his back, straightened his sitting posture, dipped in ink, and began to copy the first paragraph. Cheng Xunxun's calligraphy is really not good, and the posture of holding the pen is not quite right, the writing is decent, but it is weird and ugly. When Cheng Xunxun wrote the second sentence, he heard a very slight sneer, Cheng Xunxun stopped his pen suddenly, his hand shook slightly, and the ink spread out on the rice paper.

She frowned, a little unhappy, she really wanted to copy this "Dizang Sutra" to Zhou Jiashu, even if the words are not good-looking, sincerity is good, he smiled like this, it seemed very improper. Cheng Xunxun was slightly annoyed in his heart, put down the brush in his hand, looked up at him, and said seriously: "What are you laughing at?

"Do you feel like your words are about to fly out of the paper?" Zhou Yanqing raised the corners of his lips, stretched out two fingers to pick up the paper, held it in front of his eyes, and smiled on his face.

Cheng Xunxun snatched the paper back and said, "Don't worry about it." She flattened the paper and stroked it again and again, only to smit in her heart.

Zhou Yanqing didn't say anything, nodded, and walked out silently, Cheng Xunxuan pouted, and when he picked up the pen again, he couldn't write anymore. Holding the brush in my hand, after a long time, the ink dripped down, clicked, and dripped on the paper, and it was completely impossible to write.

After a while, Zhou Yanqing turned back again, took a stack of papers in his hand, and said, "Come again, you hold the pen in the wrong posture, how long did you study before?"

"It's probably more than a year, I learned it when I was eighteen years old, and I learned a little bit of it, and then I didn't have time to practice, so I gave it up. ”

"And you still write?

Cheng Xunxun was unhappy and said, "You seem to be a calligrapher." ”

Zhou Yanqing smiled lightly, didn't speak, walked over, patted her arm, and motioned for her to go away. Cheng Xunxun looked at him to demonstrate, and walked away very consciously, also to see how good his handwriting was.

Zhou Yanqing's posture is very casual, but his writing is very serious and his demeanor is focused. The people of the Zhou family, whether male or female, are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Dou Lanying's cultivation of her children can be described as meticulous energy, from the inside out, whether it is cultivation, temperament or connotation, nothing will be left behind.

As a result, when the people of the Zhou family went out, they all looked like dogs, and they were deeply hidden.

If it weren't for Zhou Yanqing's pen, Cheng Xunxun wouldn't have known that he could write with a beautiful brush, the kind that can be hung on the wall. It is written in a line of books, with both size and size, combination of collection and release, dense and decent, and blending of shades.

Cheng Xunxun inexplicably had a kind of admiration, she turned from left to right, Zhou Yanqing only copied one page, then lost interest, stood up straight, handed the brush to Cheng Xunxun, and said, "You come." ”

"Otherwise, you can help me, your handwriting is beautiful. ”

"Do your own thing, if you have this idea, it means that you don't care about the problem of ugliness at all, and your heart is enough, isn't it your idea?"

Cheng Xunxun was poked by him, smiled, took the brush in his hand, and said, "Then what do you write?" ”

"Set off the beauty and ugliness, and by the way, let you feel it too. As he spoke, he deliberately took the one she had written and set it aside, creating a stark contrast.

Cheng Xunxun is angry, but for the sake of his beautiful words, I don't care so much about him. learned from what he did just now, but he still couldn't put pen to paper, because the aura next to him was so strong that she couldn't write well without distractions.

She was about to say something, when the man suddenly walked up behind her, took her hand lightly, propped the other hand on the table, corrected the way she held the pen, and took her hand and wrote the first word on the rice paper.

His nose was full of ink, Cheng Xunxun couldn't help but glance sideways at him, and at a glance, he heard him whisper a reminder in his ear, "Concentrate." ”

Cheng Xunxun immediately retracted his gaze, stabilized his mind, and focused on the words he wrote. Her hand moved with his movements, stroke by stroke, all completed by the two of them, and the pond outside the house and in the courtyard were shining, so beautiful that people were a little intoxicated and couldn't extricate themselves.

The men are as warm as jade, the women are gorgeous, and there is really a feeling of only envying the mandarin ducks and not the immortals.

"So here it is. The mage's voice suddenly sounded, ruining the ambiguity of the room.

Zhou Yanqing stopped moving, let go of his hand, stood up, and said with a smile: "Jingxu, you have this pot of tea, but you have been looking for it for a long time, isn't it old tea?"

Jing smiled lightly, "Whether it's old tea or not, I don't know until I drink it." Is it here, or is it?"

Zhou Yanqing waved his hand and said, "Go elsewhere." ”

When Jingxu left, he glanced at Cheng Xunxun more, and just met her clean eyes, nodded his head, turned around and walked away. He was a little embarrassed to break the leisure time of the two couples just now, and this would naturally leave enough space for the two of them to talk.

Zhou Yanqing didn't have any other thoughts, just now it was a real tutorial to write, I just think it's good that she has such a mind, look at her ugly words, and be kind to mention it.

"You write it, and you can call someone if you have something. After he finished speaking, he left, chasing Jingxu, thinking that this bald donkey didn't even wait for him, who would find him in such a big yard!

Cheng Xunxun's 'yes' was also told to herself, and the meditation room suddenly became very silent, although she was called her mind, but somehow it was a little lonely.

She was stunned for a while before she began to continue to transcribe quietly, but without Zhou Yanqing, her words became uncontrollable, the front was still good, and the back became a crab. I still insisted on writing it down.

……

Before Zhou Yanqing left, he handed over all the affairs of Xinhe to Chen Yujian, and Yufeng's acquisition of Xinhe naturally fell on Chen Yujian. The day after Zhou Yanqing left, Zhou Jingyang made an appointment to meet him, but Rong Zheng did not come forward.

The time they agreed on was three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yujian drove to Yufeng downstairs at half past two, parked the car, lowered the window, lit a cigarette, smoked slowly, and looked at the magnificent gate of Yufeng through the rearview mirror. Gently spuffed out the cigarette, and then the one on the side rang, the call was Rong Zheng, the corner of his lips was slightly raised, he reached out to pick it up, and said with a smile: "What?

"It's not that I'm not worried, this old man is very shrewd, looking for you in the past, he must want to test you, and you should understand that meaning. In short, you have to calm down, no matter what, the fifth child needs to have a trustworthy person around him, if you can pass the old man's level, it means that you can also follow Yufeng. Otherwise, for such a trivial matter as the acquisition, where can he personally come forward and instruct him. ”

"I know. Chen Yujian took a puff of cigarette.

"I also listened to what my eldest sister said, the Zhou family is now restless, and there are several forces. But everything is still to wait for the fifth child to come back and talk about it in detail, after so many years, it is not in vain. ”

"Rong Zheng, I found out that you are really the true love of the fifth child, just like the old mother. Tell me honestly, have you been secretly in love with the fifth child for a long time? It's okay, we are brothers, you name it, I won't laugh at you. ”

"Fuck off. ”

Chen Yujian giggled, relaxed.

The two laughed a few more words, then hung up the phone, Chen Yujian smiled, took the last puff of cigarette, and flicked the cigarette butt out. Close the window, push the door open and walk out.

Because he didn't get the appointment time, he waited for more than 20 minutes, but when the appointment time came, and because Zhou Jingyang was meeting guests, the secretary took him to wait in the lounge next to him for another half an hour. After drinking a total of three or four cups of tea, Chen Yujian also took a deep breath, sat for a while, then stood up and walked to the window, with his hands behind his back, standing on the top floor of Yufeng, looking at the past, there was a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance.

Sure enough, he has the ambition to dominate, but even in today's status, he is still not satisfied.

Chen Yujian waited for an hour before the secretary came over and invited him into the office. Zhou Jingyang is an extremely particular person, at the beginning of the establishment of Yufeng Building, he invited three famous feng shui masters, each of whom spent a lot of money to come and see, and finally chose here.

What he wants is not a moment of feng shui, what he wants is good luck for a lifetime, and the establishment of the head office is even more cautious and prudent. Now that the family is peaceful and the career is smooth, it is also inseparable from this feng shui secret technique, at least Zhou Jingyang believes it. As a result, even a feng shui array was placed in his office, but the decoration of the office was not as complicated as imagined, but Chen Yujian was not a dirt bun, and he was sharp.

A few ornaments in the office, and the set of mahogany chairs, cost a million pieces, to say the least. Zhou Jingyang has always been serious, not smiling, and when he saw Chen Yujian, he made a gesture of invitation and motioned for him to sit down.

Chen Yujian is also not restrained, how to say that he is also a person who has seen the world, and he has also seen people who are richer than the Zhou family, so naturally he will not have stage fright, smiled politely, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Hello Mr. Zhou. ”

Zhou Jingyang leaned back, nodded his head, and said, "You say." ”

To talk about the matter of Xinhe, Chen Yu simply gave an overview of the entire company's operations and the industries involved, which was clear and orderly. Zhou Jingyang observed quietly, and in the middle of Chen Yujian's speech, he sat down and made a stop gesture and said: "I heard that your family is ordinary, and you and Lao Wu met in the army? I don't know if I don't ask, but it's really impressive. ”

"With a unique vision, the first pot of gold was earned in the stock market, and then the first pot of gold was used to make investment, and money made money. It is said that you have never lost a profit since you first took the investment step, is that true?"

The people around Zhou Yanqing should say that whoever is close to the Zhou family, which one of them is not clearly investigated, is about to dig out the ancestral grave. The Zhou family was suspicious, for fear that the people close to them would have ghosts in their hearts and want money and death.

Rich people, after all, they are a little fetish, Chen Yujian touched his nose, nodded with a chuckle, and said, "I'll call you uncle, okay?"

Zhou Jingyang didn't say it was good, nor did he say it was bad, it could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"That's just my luck, just say it, obviously investment is the same as gambling, but every time I go to Macau, I will definitely come back with a breeze on my sleeves." Say I'm lucky, in fact, it's not good, at least in the casino I am gambling will lose, no matter how big or small, even if it is playing mahjong with someone, after pai gow, when I go in, the wallet is full of money, and it is empty when it comes out. Time-tested. Chen Yujian smiled, his tone was extremely relaxed, he sighed, and said, "I don't dare to gamble now." ”

Zhou Jingyang looked at him, and showed a rare smile, very shallow, and said: "Don't be modest, investment is not opportunistic, how many things to do, I know in my heart that you don't rely on luck." If you really rely on luck, the fifth child will not choose you. ”

"Uncle, you have won the award, I am a brother to the fifth child, he talks about righteousness, and he thinks about me when he gets rich. ”

Zhou Jingyang raised his eyebrows, Zhou Yanqing is his son, what kind of thoughts are he in terms of employing people, he can't guess it? One Rong Zheng and one Chen Yujian, just without these two people, it is impossible for Xinhe to develop so rapidly today. Zhou Yanqing is still very recognized by the old man in terms of employing people.

After a while, Zhou Jingyang threw out a plan and said, "Look at this project, is it feasible?"

Chen Yujian looked at it, it is a market project supported by the government, that is, the investment market, the project is quite large, last year in the west of the city, a large area of demolition of the house, is to prepare to do the market, all kinds of markets, is to build the largest wholesale market in Luancheng Province with the most complete things.

Well, of course, it can promote the economy, and investors can also reap a lot of benefits; but if it fails, then the money filled in is equivalent to a water ticket, saying that it is a government-supported project, and it is good for the government to make a profit, and it has nothing to do with them if it loses, and then find other ways to stimulate the economy.

This project is an olive branch thrown by the government to Yufeng personally, and it is a bit difficult to ride a tiger.

"Half and half, you should also know that there is no shortage of markets in S Province, and unless there is a way to gather them in Luancheng, it will be difficult to do it. The project is too big, and now that the network is developing rapidly, it is better to develop a business in this area. Of course, this is all my humble opinion, and the team behind you should know better than I do, after all, I have just returned to China, and the economic trend is changing from time to time, and I need enough time to observe. ”

Zhou Jingyang squinted his eyes slightly, smiled slightly, but felt quite a match, Zhou Jingyang likes talents, and Yufeng naturally will not let go of anyone who can make money for it, looked at the time, and said, "Have time to eat together?"

……

Cheng Xunchun stayed in the Zen room for a day, a little monk sent food at noon, she went out for a walk when she was tired, Dou Lanying came to see her once, but the process of Xunchun was too focused, I didn't see it, and Dou Lanying only glanced at the door a few times, and walked away with Qing's sister-in-law.

"Looking at it this way, this girl is still very good, and she sits still, I heard that she is here all day?"

Sister-in-law Qing nodded and said, "Yes, when I came out of the Scripture Pavilion in the morning, I have been copying books inside." ”

Dou Lanying nodded thoughtfully, and then said after a while: "Ask her to come out for dinner in a while, don't copy it at night, her eyes are not good." ”

"Hmm. Sister-in-law Qing responded, was silent for a while, and couldn't help but say more, "Actually, this kid is very good, obedient, and kind." You treat her well, and she signals that she will give it back to you 100%. ”

Dou Lanying glanced sideways at her sister-in-law, smiled faintly, and said, "For so many years, I have never heard you say who is good, it's really rare." But have you ever thought about why she is so stubbornly holding on to the fifth child? Jiashu voluntarily gave her shares, but she also took it for granted, to say that she didn't have any thoughts, I don't believe it. But I can also understand, after all, people have to climb up, and who wouldn't want to seize this opportunity, right?"

Sister-in-law Qing lowered her eyes, smiled slightly, and said: "I don't care about this, it's just that I've been getting along with her for the past eight years, and I think it's good, a person's character can pretend to be for a while, but not for eight years." Everyone has their own things to cling to, the kind you are talking about is a saint, not in the middle of the year, she has selfish intentions, but I think her heart is still good. ”

When Dou Lanying heard this, she glanced at her deeply, sneered, reached out and tapped her forehead, and said, "I've drugged her." ”

The light in the meditation room became darker and darker, Cheng Xunxuan finally stopped the pen and put the brush on the pen stand, this mood was rare and quiet, she cleaned up, put the scriptures and copied scriptures on the side of the shelf, and then went out of the meditation room and closed the door.

It was getting dark, she walked around the temple, and along the way, she only met a few little monks, and none of them knew where Zhou Yanqing was. She couldn't help it, so she had to spin around, thinking that she would always run into it.

Who knew that when it got dark, she didn't meet the person she was going to meet, and this place was not as complicated as she imagined, so why was it so difficult to meet?

It's like walking left to right, obviously living so close, but you will never meet it in your life. Cheng Xunxun fortunately didn't leave, found a place to sit down, and rested.

The direction of the Daxiong Treasure Hall was very bright, Cheng Xunxuan looked over, and saw Dou Lanying and Qing sister-in-law appear at the door of the hall in the middle of the night. Cheng Xunxun was about to get up, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps from behind, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Zhou Yanqing coming from the darkness.

His tone was not very good, and he said, "What are you running around?"

"I can't find you. ”

"Didn't you stay at the Zen master?

Cheng Xunxun was also unhappy, and said, "I'm not punished for copying, why do I have to finish copying before I can come out." ”

"I can't find anyone at the head of the meal, everyone is waiting for you alone, are you embarrassed?"

"I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to. After Cheng Xunxun finished speaking, he walked in the direction he came from.

Before she had taken a few steps, he grabbed the collar of her clothes, and with a little force, he pulled her back in front of him. Cheng Xunxun frowned, but he was not angry, and said: "What are you doing, everyone is waiting, don't go back soon." ”

In fact, Zhou Yanqing also wasted some effort to find her, in fact, he saw her several times, but every time the distance was very far, and he couldn't make loud noises in the temple, and when he came, this person ran away without a shadow. Coming and going like this, it was like playing hide and seek, and I didn't know if she did it on purpose, of course Zhou Yanqing was a little annoyed.

This person really wants people to watch, and he will run around if he doesn't see him for a while, which is also wronged.

Zhou Yanqing didn't bother to teach her a lesson, and said, "Go this way." ”

Cheng Xunxun is similar to a road idiot here, these corridors are tortuous, except for the obvious differences in the middle of the palace, the rest is similar, she always feels that she is walking around in place. And as a temple, she felt that these courtyards were too complicated to build.

When she arrived at Shantang, everyone was indeed waiting for her, and it happened that Dou Lanying and Sister-in-law Qing were also back, and when they saw her, they couldn't help but ask her, where did they go. And Cheng Xunxun didn't go anywhere.

Cheng Xunxuan didn't speak, but Zhou Yanqing poked her beside her, "Hide and seek, childishness is still there." ”

"Okay, let's eat, the food is going to be cold. ”

Cheng Xunxun glared at him, only answered, sat down, said sorry, and ate obediently.

There is no nightlife in the temple, and after dinner and chatting for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Cheng Xunchun copied the scriptures for two days, Zhou Yanqing drank tea for two days, Jingxu wanted to take care of the temple, naturally he didn't have so much time to accompany him, and followed Dou Lanying except to worship the Buddha is to worship the Buddha, there was no meaning, and in the end, only Cheng Xunxuan felt that it was rare to be a little interesting.

But in fact, it's not interesting, she copied very attentively, Zhou Yanqing was a little idle, sitting with her chin against the side and watching, Cheng Xunxun was a little unaccustomed at first, but I don't know if the scriptures played a role or what, slowly she can also be distracted, focus on it, and won't be bothered by him for half a minute. Wooden acrobatics.

As a result, Zhou Yanqing is even more bored, except for making a few phone calls every day and dealing with outside affairs, he has nothing to do. Boring to the point of fishing, using a straight hook.

When Cheng Xunxi went out to the toilet, she could see his old monk sitting on the edge of the pond, and it was the same several times, so she went over curiously, and everything was quiet.

She couldn't help but lean over to look, and when she found that he had his eyes open, she quickly shrank back again, and said to herself, "I thought you were asleep." ”

"Don't make noise. ”

Cheng Xunxun thought about it, and suddenly became interested, and he didn't know where to move a small chair, sit next to him, and watch him fish. The two of them also sat down, and as soon as they sat down, Zhou Yanqing stretched and collected the fishing line.

Cheng Xunxun saw that he was using a straight hook, sneered, and said, "Are you learning from Mrs. Jiang? Fifth uncle, are you not sick?"

After holding it for a few days, the fifth uncle still blurted out, and as soon as she spoke, she covered her mouth in shock, looked left and right, and patted her chest again and again, but fortunately there was no one. Zhou Yanqing saw her movements clearly, snorted lightly, and said, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing. That, if I call you Zhou Yanqing in the future, will you mind?"

"Yes. ”

Cheng Xunxuan didn't expect to have a closed door, but the title of 'Zhou Yanqing' seemed to her to be the most suitable, Zhou Yanqing ignored her, took the fishing rod and prepared to leave. Cheng Xunxun looked at his back, was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke, "Zhou Yanqing." ”

He stopped in response, turned his head, and saw Cheng Xunxuan waving at him, smiling brightly, as if he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme. He felt that his mood was a little complicated, there was a feeling of being pitted, he wrinkled his brows, turned around and left without saying anything.

He wasn't allowed to call, but when she did, he answered, didn't he?

On the fourth day of the temple, Jingxu probably thought that these two young people would be very bored, and after lunch, they came to the meditation room, just two of them, Cheng Xunxuan was watching his results, Zhou Yanqing sat on the kang seat, glanced at it, said it was really ugly, and looked at the chessboard by himself.

He's so bored that he plays chess with himself.

"I'll take you up the mountain to see the scenery today. ”

"What is the scenery of this deep mountain and old forest? Zhou Yanqing was not interested, he knew in his heart that there was no trace of artificial mining if he went up again, and the pure mountain road was bound to be difficult to walk.

"Yes, a fairyland on earth. "The pure void is mysterious.

Cheng Xunxun was very interested, but she was pregnant, so she asked pitifully, "Can I go?"

"Yes, the mountain road is not difficult to walk. ”

"That's great, I'll go too. ”

"I didn't say I was going. Zhou Yanqing still lowered his head, disappointed.

"Then I'll go too. ”

In the end, Zhou Yanqing naturally had to go, he had to take care of the pregnant woman, and he was a lonely man and a lonely woman, it was inconvenient for a monk, right, he was also forced to do so.
