Li Jing said: "Well, I think so too, the gift must be able to impress the other party, and the other party can't be blinded, people already look down on us Qingyang, and then send some local products that can't be on the table, then don't want to get into the eyes of others." ”

Li Rui asked her half and asked herself, "But what kind of lofty gift can we come up with?"

Li Jing said in a blank tone: "I don't know, otherwise why ask you what to do?"

Li Rui said: "Gift-giving pays attention to what it likes, if you really don't know what to give, then inquire about the other party's hobbies, and start from the other party's hobbies, which is the easiest way to be accepted by the other party." ”

Li Jing said excitedly: "I have just learned about this, the official website of the Provincial Agricultural University shows that this president seems to like calligraphy and painting, and is one of the vice presidents of our Provincial Calligraphers and Painters Association......

Li Rui shouted when he heard this: "It's not easy to do!"

Li Jingqi said: "Why is it not easy to do?"

Li Rui said: "I like calligraphy and painting, which means that he is very angry with books, such people are usually tall and arrogant, and it is difficult to deal with, not to mention that he has a prejudice against us, alas, it will be more difficult to meet tomorrow morning." ”

Li Jing sighed: "It's even more difficult to meet." Xiao Rui, you say, can we start with his hobby? He likes calligraphy and painting, why don't we give him a set of good pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?"

Li Rui said: "Yes, do you have it?"

Li Jing said: "I don't." ”

Li Rui was so angry that he was directly happy, and said: "Sister, since you don't have it, what do you say it does?" Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't have it, you can just know where you have, let's go buy a good set of him." ”

Li Jing said: "I don't know where to sell it." We must have sold it in Qingyang, but in a hurry, we don't know which one sells good goods. What's more, it's late now, the shops must be closed, and it's so early to leave tomorrow morning, I'm afraid it's too late to buy. ”

Li Rui knows that this trip to the provincial capital is very important, directly related to the realization of the boss Song Chaoyang's "Five One Project", so any difficulties must be overcome, and it must not be perfunctory. In this way, let's find someone to inquire separately to see if there are any shops in the city that sell the four treasures of the study, and then I will go over and take a look, I don't think all the shops will be closed, maybe we can find one or two that are still open. ”

Li Jing said: "It's okay, then please take a trip, sister thank you first." I'll ask someone and I'll have news for you later. ”

After making this call, Li Rui pinched his mobile phone and didn't put it back, filtering the friends he knew one by one in his mind, thinking about who would know the place where the four treasures of the study were sold in the city, and when he was pondering, a taxi in front of him slowly drove along the side of the road, and his heart suddenly moved, hey, what friends are he looking for, and ask the taxi driver. As we all know, taxi drivers are not only a living map of a city, but also a know-it-all, there is nothing they don't know, up to the municipal party committee and municipal government, down to a small restaurant and hair salon, they are all clear, thinking of this hurriedly stepped forward to stop the taxi, and after the car stopped, pulled the car door and sat in, throwing the problem to the driver.

After hearing this, the driver thought about it for a while, and said: "I haven't seen much of a shop specializing in selling pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but I know that on the small street south of Nanhu Park, there are a few calligraphy and painting shops, selling calligraphy and painting, and there should also be pen, ink, paper and inkstone, or I'll take you over to have a look?"

Li Rui is also in a hurry to go to the doctor now, as long as he has the opportunity, he doesn't want to let it go, and nods: "Okay, then I'll trouble you." ”

The driver turned his left turn signal, turned around and headed south. Nanhu Park is in the east of Li Rui's house, along the current Zhengyang North Street all the way to the south, the first intersection turns left, westward for a while, through Chaoyang North Street, and then go forward for a while, is the south gate of Nanhu Park, outside the south gate is Nanxiao Street, but not far.

Ten minutes later, the driver took Li Rui to the side street. This street is said to be a small street, in fact, it is also very wide, two-way four-lane, the road is relatively secluded, there are not many pedestrians and vehicles, the buildings on both sides of the road are relatively low, there is no lack of some old houses in the last century, quite a bit of historical charm.

"It's here!"

The driver pulled off the meter and turned his head to look at Li Rui.

Li Rui looked at both sides of the road and said, "Where is it? Where is there a calligraphy and painting shop? Dude, don't cheat me." ”

The driver smiled and said, "What am I doing to you, there are several calligraphy and painting shops on this street, you can see them if you go forward, but if the door is closed, you don't rely on me, I don't know if they are closed at this time." ”

Li Rui said: "How do I know how far I can go before I can see? You keep driving, drive slowly, I can observe." Don't play the watch, I'll give you an extra ten dollars later. ”

When the driver saw him say this, he didn't say anything more and started to continue.

"No, this is one, it's a pity it's closed!"

Less than 50 meters after the car drove out, a calligraphy and painting shop appeared on the right hand side, called "Guoying Calligraphy and Painting Art Museum". The driver stopped the car and pointed Li Rui with his hand.

Li Rui sighed after seeing it and said, "Drive further." ”

"There's another one, this one is the biggest, hey, it's still open, you're in luck......"

Open out another hundred meters, there is a shop on the left side of the road, it is an antique two-storey small building, the face is wide and four, the eaves are arched, the wooden window is red column, and there are two stone lions at the door, at first glance it seems that the small building of the Ming and Qing dynasties has crossed to the present. The shop is lit up, the door is wide open, and there is a plaque hanging on the door, which reads the name of the shop: Moxiangyuan!

Li Rui was overjoyed when he saw it, took out his wallet, found thirty yuan and handed it to the driver, said "Don't look for it", pushed the car door down, crossed the road, and ran to the door of Moxiangyuan's store. Before entering the store, you can already see that the walls of the store are full of calligraphy and paintings, and there is a row of bookcases on the east wall, in which there are picture scrolls and rice paper, etc., I don't know if they are for sale or used.

Li Rui walked to the door, first smelled a faint sandalwood wafting out of the store, after smelling the heart and lungs, very comfortable, said that the boss of this Moxiangyuan must be an elegant person, and walked into the door with a smile.

The classical atmosphere in the store is very strong, the furniture whether it is a bookcase, a bookcase, a desk or a chair and stool, is a mahogany antique shape, the four walls can be hung with calligraphy and paintings, the staircase leading to the second floor is also a wooden ladder, even the lampshade on the roof is used in the Bafang white yarn tassel palace lamp, and then there is the quiet sandalwood from time to time into the nostrils, it really makes people think that they have returned to ancient times.

Li Rui looked around and saw a large picture scroll on the west floor of the store, a young slender woman wearing a gray suspender T-shirt, blue cropped jeans, and two white feet was kneeling on it to paint. She was so engrossed in her drawings that she didn't even notice the business coming to her door, her eyes were just staring at the ink pen in her hand.

Li Rui's eyes swept over her face, from the current angle, he could only see her side face, but he saw that her cheeks were thin, her eyebrows were sparse, her nose was straight, her lips were beautiful, she was a beautiful woman, and her complexion was also very white, at first glance, she looked like a person made of jade lying there.

Li Rui's eyes turned to her curved figure highlighted by lying down, only to see her small waist less than a hug, her buttocks were raised high, and under the wrapping of jeans, it looked even more prominent, under which were a pair of slender legs, slender and charming, and at the end of the calves were a pair of snow-white and thin feet, and she did not wear shoes, white and thin, and the end was eye-catching.

"Wow!"

Li Rui looked at her appearance and posture, and was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect to come to a calligraphy and painting shop tonight to see such a beauty, but he still firmly remembered that his task was to come to buy the four treasures of the study, not to see the beauties.

He walked over to say hello to her, to ask her if she was the boss here, and to admire her paintings.

Getting closer to this beauty, Li Rui also observed more details. This woman has long hair tied up at the back of her head, and a strand of hair hangs down from her left and right temples, her hair is as black as ink, and her hair is straight and fine, which shows that the hair quality is very good, her neck is very white and thin, like her slender figure, and her feet are slender and curvy, like a work of art made of white jade. These physical traits are attractive, but what is even more appealing is her quiet and focused temperament. In the current impetuous and chaotic social environment, it is rare to see a woman with such a temperament.

Li Rui looked at her, and suddenly thought of Fang Zhitong, a scholarly beauty who had not been in touch for a long time, how similar is her temperament to the current beauty? She has been going to Beijing to inherit her father's inheritance for a while, I don't know what is happening now?

He sighed secretly, turned his eyes to look at the painting of this beauty, only to see that she was concentrating on painting, it was an ink landscape, the green mountains and mountains in the distance on the painting paper, the mountains and mountains, the river water was flowing nearby, a small boat stopped in the river, the people on the boat were fishing, a path could be seen in the bamboo forest by the river, at the end of the path was a small courtyard with firewood, and the people in the courtyard were looking up at the high mountains behind the house...... It's just a piece of rice paper, a brush, and an inkstone, and under her hands, it depicts a wonderful scenery like a paradise, which makes people involuntarily yearn for it, which is really amazing.

This beauty is really weird, Li Rui walked into the store just now, to say that it was a little far away from her, she didn't hear and see, and there were forgivable circumstances, but now Li Rui has walked to her side, she still doesn't look at it, just focuses on painting, as if she is immersed in the painting, and no longer has any ability to perceive the outside world, which is really strange.
