Chapter 4 Picking Up Leaks
After the two walked away, Song Xin looked at Chen Zhan with a strange face, and quipped: "Chen Zhan, did you suddenly find out with your conscience, or did you have a fever in your brain, and you are willing to spend more than 2,000 miles to buy this dragon head turtle, is it really for good luck?"
Hearing this, Chen Zhan rolled his eyes and said to Song Xin: "What is called conscience discovery, my conscience is very good. Saying that, Chen Zhan suddenly smiled, "Actually, I picked up a leak, this dragon turtle is not something that can be bought at this price, I didn't want to buy this dragon head turtle, in fact, it was for you." ”
"Give it to me! You are willing to buy me a gift, I think about it, this is the first time you have bought a gift for me since I met you, except for my birthday. Song Xin said in surprise, "And how did you earn it?" I also took a look at the dragon head turtle just now, it is indeed carved from Xiuyu, Xiuyu is not worth anything at all!"
Hearing Song Xin's words, Chen Zhan's face was a little embarrassed, and he paused and said: "The material of this dragon head turtle itself is not valuable, but the origin of this dragon head turtle is not ordinary, it is something that is difficult to buy with money!"
"What's unusual, I'm not unaware of the dragon head turtle, people often say that the dragon head turtle has the most promotion, wealth, knighthood, evil, evil spirits, blessing functions, people buy it as an auspicious mascot at home, my dad bought a dragon head turtle carved with Hetian jade and put it in his study, and the dragon head turtle carved with good jade outside, how can you not buy the dragon head turtle carved with Xiu jade." Song Xin said to Chen Zhan with a look that I know very well about this, don't think about fooling me.
"I naturally know what you said, but you said that those dragon turtles are actually not so big, that's all nonsense, the dragon head turtle only has the effect of dissolving evil and warding off evil spirits, and they are just a mortal product, if you want the dragon head turtle to play the role of dispeling evil and warding off evil spirits, you have to correspond to the feng shui in the right position, do you know why I want to buy this dragon head turtle, because when I held it in my hand just now, I found that this is a magic weapon that has been specially opened by Buddhist monks, The effect of this dragon turtle is many times stronger than that of those dragon turtles that have not been opened, although it does not have the effect of gathering wealth and elevating, but it can dispel evil spirits. Chen Zhan explained.
"This dragon-headed turtle is a magic weapon that has been opened by a high monk?! Chen Zhan, how do you know, where did you see it, since I knew you, I have always found you mysterious, I didn't expect you to know such a thing as metaphysics, or you can help me look at palmistry, see what my fortune and love are!" Song Xin stretched out a hand and joked to Chen Zhan with a smile.
"I can't tell you that I can see a layer of Buddha light shrouded in this," Chen Zhan muttered in his heart, Chen Zhan stuffed the box containing the dragon head turtle to Song Xin, and said helplessly: "Alas! I don't know how to tell you, anyway, I promise I'm telling the truth, you put this dragon turtle in your office, it promises to be able to dispel evil and ward off evil spirits, you just take it, if you don't want you to give it to someone else at that time. ”
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll just take it!" Song Xin didn't continue to make fun of Chen Zhan, and put away the box containing the dragon head turtle with a smile on her face.
After installing a circle in Panjiayuan, Chen Zhan didn't find anything good, so he and Song Xin left Panjiayuan, Song Xin asked: "Chen Zhan, are you busy with things, you are mysterious every time, and you don't say anything when you ask, is there anything else you have done recently?"
"I'm busy for the time being, and I haven't had anything to do lately." Chen Zhan said, there is indeed nothing to do, and he has no clues about the matter of the Death Demon Qi, so he can only wait for Zhao Guofeng to send someone to investigate and see if he can find anything.
"Since there is nothing to do, then you can go back to work for me, you are always not in the company, maybe one day there will be gossip about you in the company." Song Xin said to Chen Zhan.
"Okay, I know, but I don't really care about gossip at all, whatever they say!" Chen Zhan said indifferently.
Looking at Chen Zhan's appearance, Song Xin rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "Today, you help me look at the painting, I decided to invite you to dinner!"
"Okay, since you're inviting you to dinner, then I'm welcome."
"Let's go, get in the car!" Song Xin was driving a white Maserati, which Song Xin had just bought the year before last, and asked Chen Zhan to accompany her to see it at that time.
Song Xin drove to a supermarket, led Chen Zhan straight to the vegetable area, and bought some vegetables, fish and meat.
"Of course, is there any problem?" Song Xin asked.
"Have you forgotten the last time you cooked?" Chen Zhan said with a smile on his face.
"Oh, don't worry, this time is definitely different from last time, I specially asked the master to teach me, and my cooking skills have already increased greatly." Song Xin said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Really?" Chen Zhan said suspiciously, because he had eaten a meal made by Song Xin once, it was half a year ago, Song Xin's meal that time can be said to be a dark cuisine, and Chen Zhan ate it with mixed feelings, not only fried paste, but also tasted very strange, at that time I learned that it was Song Xin's first time cooking, and it was completely a guinea pig who used Chen Zhan as a meal experiment, and now thinking back on the taste, Chen Zhan suddenly had a layer of goosebumps on his body.
The car drove to a villa area and stopped in front of a villa, this villa was Song Xin's own house in Beijing, and Song Xin lived alone on weekdays, Chen Zhan took out the vegetables he bought from the trunk of the car, and followed Song Xin into the house, Chen Zhan put the dishes down in the kitchen, and then took out the imitation of the Qingming Riverside picture he bought in the late Qing Dynasty, and spread the painting on the long table.
Chen Zhan took a bowl of boiling water, opened the eye of the sky, saw the location of the painting wrapped in the Qingming Riverside Picture, and carefully wet the surrounding area of the Qingming Riverside Picture with boiling water.
"Chen Zhan, what are you doing here?" Song Xin looked at Chen Zhan's actions and asked curiously.
"The secret, you'll know in a moment." Chen Zhan smiled mysteriously.
"Don't talk about it, it's mysterious, come and help me wash the vegetables!" Song Xin said with a disdainful face.
After Chen Zhan finished washing the dishes, he saw that Song Xin had just cooked the rice, and asked, "Do you want me to help stir-fry the vegetables?"
"You know how to cook?" Song Xin said with a look of surprise.
"Of course I can cook, I used to cook in high school, I often cook and eat by myself, you and I are just like you!" Chen Zhan said proudly.
Hearing Chen Zhan's words, Song Xin asked, "Since you know how to cook, why didn't you help me cook last time?"
"The last time you cooked, I was also to see how your cooking skills were, and you didn't say that you wanted me to help you, I was afraid that my shot would hit your self-confidence, so I didn't make a move, but who knew that your cooking skills were at that level, otherwise I would have done it by me!" Chen Zhan said.
"Okay, just help cut these vegetables for me!" Song Xin commanded.
Chen Zhan cut the vegetables slowly, and soon the dishes were cut, from the point of view of knife work, it was still very good, since the dishes had been cut, Song Xin began to stir-fry, Chen Zhan stood aside to review, this time Song Xin's stir-fry appearance was also presentable, not as busy as last time.
After a while, Chen Zhan ran to see how the surrounding area of the Qingming Riverside Picture was doing, and found that it was already half-dry, so he found a small wooden strip, and slowly cut the wooden strip into a thin piece of wood with a knife.
At this time, Song Xin had already finished frying the dishes, and the fish and rice that were slowly simmering in the pot were not yet good, and when she came over to see Chen Zhan's movements, she asked suspiciously: "What are you doing here, why don't you want this painting?"
"How could you not want it, there is a secret hidden in this painting, and I am presenting this secret now." Chen Zhan said as he carefully slid the wood chips.
Chen Zhan was very slow, Song Xin was watching from the side, time passed for a while, the rice and fish were ready, Song Xin took out the food and put it on the dining table, Chen Zhan was still there, Song Xin came over and said: "The meals are ready, come and eat, and I'll get it later."
"Don't worry, it's going to be over soon, there's only so much left, if you dry it up, it won't be easy to get it." Chen Zhan said, Song Xin had to sit aside and watch Chen Zhan busy, about two minutes, Chen Zhan finally finished all the surroundings, and said happily: "It's done, the secrets inside are about to be revealed."
"What's in there?" Song Xin asked curiously.
"Then you'll be on the look." I saw Chen Zhan along the corner of this Qingming Riverside Picture, slowly unveiled the painting, leaking out the lower layer, as the Qingming Riverside Picture was slowly revealed, Song Xin saw that there was still a painting hidden in it, and said in surprise: "There is actually a painting inside, hey, why is this one also a Qingming Riverside Picture!" The painting has been completely uncovered, and Chen Zhan will put the unveiled painting aside.
Chen Zhan carefully looked at the Qingming Riverside Picture inside, which had the imprint of Qiu Shi's father's seal, and Song Xin asked, "What's going on with this Qingming Riverside Picture?"
"Talk while eating!"
Chen Zhan praised Song Xin while eating: "It tastes very good, it is true that the cooking skills have made great progress, and it is really a world of difference from the last time!"
"Of course, you think I learned it for nothing." Song Xin said proudly, "By the way, what's going on with that Qingming Riverside picture?"
"The Qingming Riverside Picture is the Ming Dynasty from the paper, which depicts the life of the urban and rural people in the Jiangnan society of the Ming Dynasty, and there is the imprint of Qiu Shi's father's seal on it, from the perspective of the style of painting, it should be painted by Qiu Ying in the Ming Dynasty, Qiu Ying once copied Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Riverside Map, this should be one of them, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, I don't know who fell into the hands, and I don't know what reason copied this Qingming Riverside map and then Qiu Ying's Qingming Riverside Picture was hidden in it." Chen Zhan said.
Song Xin asked with a puzzled expression: "Who is Qiu Ying, how much is this Qingming Riverside picture worth, it won't be as worthless as that one, right?"
"Qiu Ying, you don't know, hey, it's terrible to have no culture, Qiu Ying is known as the Ming Dynasty with Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, and Tang Yin, and is a famous painter in the Ming Dynasty. Chen Zhanmei said with a smile.
