And when they left, they didn't expect that the rich merchant who had photographed the amethyst jade was waiting for them in the reception room of the hotel.

"Mayor Gu." The man said respectfully to Gu Nancy.

Gu Nancy nodded, Xin Yao followed into the door, glanced at the rich businessman, saw that his eyes were full of respect for Gu Nancy, and then glimpsed the name on the small sign on the man's chest, only to know that this was the regional vice president of the Boston Gu Group in the Beijing area.

"I have asked someone to come and examine this amethyst jade with a special instrument, and it is indeed the one that was sent to China from Brazil more than 20 years ago. 弼"

After that, the regional vice president also bowed respectfully to Ji Xinyao when she came over.

Gu Nancy only glanced at the amethyst jade that was placed on the sandalwood pedestal in front of the reception room, which exuded a ghostly luster in the sun, and then took the detailed information and test report of the crystal handed by him.

And Xin Yao stood beside him, and also looked at her, Gu Nancy glanced at her sideways, she raised her eyes, and the two suddenly looked at each other inadvertently, he smiled, his eyes were soft, but Ji Xinyao's heart was pounding, his face was slightly red, he no longer looked at the thing in his hand, and turned his face to look at other places, and then looked at the amethyst.

She walked over, looked at it closely, and then turned back and asked, "Can I touch it?" ”

The regional rich president was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to be so polite, and Ji Xinyao was never used to being the mayor's wife and the chairman of the Gu Group.

Such a precious thing, ordinary people want to touch it, I'm afraid it's also as difficult as the sky.

"Can't you?" Seeing that the regional vice president looked at him, but he smiled and didn't speak, Ji Xinyao's hand that was originally raised put down stupidly, thinking that it was better not to touch it.

Gu Nancy smiled: "If this amethyst jade has nowhere to be placed, it will still be stored in the museum in the future, and now for us, the most precious thing is this test report in my hand, which now belongs to you." ”

"Mine?" Ji Xinyao couldn't help but be surprised, but seeing that Gu Nancy's expression didn't look like a joke, she couldn't help but finally raise her hand again and wanted to touch it.

"But the magnetic field of this amethyst is large, and there is a small amount of radiation, so you can't get close to it for too long." Gu Nancy reminded softly while flipping through the report in her hand.

Ji Xinyao touched the amethyst, feeling that this was actually a crystal stone that had been naturally excavated, except for the luster was very gorgeous, the other qiē were all natural structures, which had not been artificially carved, but they were still exquisite, and the temperature under his fingers was very cold, and it was also a familiar coldness.

She remembered that the white crystal necklace she owned was always cold, and no matter how long she held it in her hand, it would not be covered with heat.

After touching it twice and trying the feel, she walked aside, lest she be radiated by something too strong in the magnetic field, so she walked a little farther away, and no longer looked at the crystal, but turned to look at the oil paintings hanging on the wall of the living room.

Two days ago, I sprained my foot at the farm in the Banshan Hall in F City, and although I am able to move freely now, my ankle still hurts occasionally, after all, it has been a hundred days since I hurt my muscles and bones, although Ji Xinyao has been getting better quickly under Gu Nancy's careful care, but in the past two days of running around in Beijing, her ankle will inevitably be temporarily unable to hold on.

So she steadied herself, not wanting Gu Nancy to find that her feet were uncomfortable, so she quietly sat down under an oil painting, raised her eyes to look at the painting, and didn't move for a long time.

The family of three in the painting sits happily in a garden full of flowers and plants, under a swing, a young woman sits on the swing with a cute little girl, and next to the swing, a man in military uniform stands there, smiling and doting.

I don't know who painted this painting, but Ji Xinyao's eyes couldn't turn away for a long time, the epaulettes of the man in military uniform looked a little familiar, but the faces of this family of three were painted very simply, only simple lines and expressions, but it can still make people feel the mind of the person who painted this oil painting, the author of this painting is placing happy expectations in the painting, every stroke, every line is so smooth and free.

At this time, the hotel staff came in and saw Ji Xinyao sitting there, so they walked over and poured her a glass of warm water. I don't seem to have seen this style of oil painting before. ”

The staff raised her eyes to look at the oil painting she said, and then said with a smile: "Miss Ji, it's normal that you haven't seen it, most of the paintings hanging in our hotel are not from the hands of famous artists, they are some very beautiful paintings collected in the folk, our boss has been looking for good-looking paintings and those ancient people's stickers that have been copied out of the folk in the past twenty or thirty years, this painting seems to have been bought by our boss in the hands of a young and beautiful lady in Y City more than 20 years ago, At that time, he bought several paintings from the young lady, but only this one was our boss's favorite, and he framed it and hung it here for a long time. ”

"City Y?" Ji Xinyao muttered, then only looked at the painting and stopped talking.

Then look closely at the epaulettes of the man in military uniform in the painting, the stars, and then look at the woman in the painting and the little girl in her arms.

At this time, Ji Xinyao vaguely remembered that her mother, once when she just remembered, liked to take her and Xiuli to the field together, at that time her mother would hold the snow-white paper and sit there for an afternoon, once Ji Xinyao was very young, she didn't understand it at all, and she only had a vague impression of these, until she thought of this today, and suddenly understood that her mother was born in oil painting.

Although oil painting was popular in China more than 20 years ago or even 30 years ago, if you can paint such a professionally, you must have studied abroad.

So, could it be that the painting was painted by her mother? And her mother, who once studied abroad? To be able to go abroad and learn such elegant things in that era, her mother must not be just a family of small commoners.

Thinking of this, Ji Xinyao remembered what Shan Lao had said to him, and he had eyebrows and eyes that were two or three points similar to Shan Ying, could it be, what was really at stake in this?

However, when she looked at the painting again, looking at the little girl in the painting, her heart was sad.

Shan Xiaoou, Shan Xiaoou, Ji Qiuhang is such a shameless man who has no lower limit, why did you sacrifice your life's happiness for him and ruined more than 20 years of beautiful life, why bother only pinning these dreams on the painting.

As soon as his shoulders were warm, Gu Nancy's breath approached: "My feet are hurting again?" He asked softly.

Ji Xinyao turned her face to look at him, did not speak, but gently pressed her forehead in front of him, quietly breathed in his taste, felt the warmth and tranquility in his arms, and the happiness of being gently cared for and cared for by him.

No matter what her mother's past was like, no matter how much of it was something she didn't know, she was relieved to have Nancy Gu by her side.

Gu Nancy patted her on the shoulder, leaned down momentarily, and when she still wanted to drill into his arms, he was both stern and as if he was scolding a child, and whispered: "Don't move, let me see." ”

Ji Xinyao was embarrassed, so she had to sit on the chair and not move, watching Gu Nancy lean over, hold her feet, and look carefully.

He gently pinched the painful part of her ankle with two fingers, not too hard, just pinched it slightly, Ji Xinyao was busy retracting her foot, and even saw Gu Nancy frowning.

"It's my negligence, your foot injury hasn't healed yet, so I'll take you around." He sighed, his eyes full of distress, and gently rubbed her ankle: "Does it still hurt like this?" ”

In fact, the position on the ankle still hurts as soon as it touches it, but he gently touches it, although it still hurts a little, but it is very comfortable, Ji Xinyao shook his head: "It's okay, I hurt my tendons and bones for a hundred days, although I didn't hurt my bones, but my ankle is a tendon, it will definitely hurt for a few more days, and it doesn't affect my walking, not to mention that no matter where I go in the past two days, you insist on letting me take the car, and I have walked a lot less." ”

Gu Nancy sighed: "Although the ankle sprain is a minor injury, if you don't pay attention to it, it will still leave sequelae, when did it start to hurt today?" ”

"It didn't hurt when I was outside, but it just hurt a little when I came back, maybe the shoes were uncomfortable." Ji Xinyao replied truthfully, and she laughed twice when she said that.

"That's it for now, don't go out again, go back to G City in two days, it's the Spring Festival soon, don't keep hurting until the Spring Festival." Seeing Ji Xinyao's expression of disapproval of the foot injury although she answered honestly, Gu Nancy glanced at her funny, got up, asked the staff to prepare some medicine for bruises, and then sent her back to the room directly.

After returning to the room, as soon as Ji Xinyao sat down, the staff brought in a bottle of safflower oil, and then Gu Nancy actually knelt down directly, lifted her feet and took off her flat shoes, and gently rubbed her with her fingertips while applying safflower oil to her ankles.

The sunlight poured into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel room, spreading out a bewildering golden veil, and Mayor Gu in the golden veil was half-kneeling, not thinking that he was condescending to his dignity, nor thinking that he was unusually good, and completely with a calm and peaceful attitude, he concentrated on applying medicine to her beloved woman, and rubbing the still painful wound on her ankle.

His fingers were slender and distinct, with no calluses in his palms, and the warm palms held her feet, his fingertips rubbing against the skin of her delicate but tense instep and ankles.

Ji Xinyao admitted that at that moment, her heart trembled slightly, a little incredulous, and she almost forgot to retract her feet in embarrassment in shock, just watching his patient movements, suddenly, she was full of gratitude.

*********************************************************************************************

The next day, Ji Xinyao couldn't stay in the room, pulling Gu Nancy, like a child, saying that she wanted to go out for a walk, she had never had the opportunity to come to Beijing before, this time it was rare to come, even if she didn't go to the Temple of Heaven in the Old Palace, even if she didn't climb the Great Wall and didn't go to the Ming Tombs, she should always go out for a walk.

And the old man had a dinner at the Beijing Mosque today, and called them to come over, Ji Xinyao grabbed the phone and agreed at that time, looking at Gu Nancy's helpless expression, she smiled and leaned on his arms and said, "It's really okay, it won't hurt anymore." ”

After meeting some of his old friends at the old man's side, they later went to the mosque, Ji Xinyao actually didn't know that there was such a place in Beijing, she had always thought that this thing was only available in Western Tibet.

Because there were only two of them, maybe it wasn't a pilgrimage day, or maybe there were fewer believers in such places now, anyway, when they entered the mosque, there were only three or three tourists.

Ji Xinyao has no religious beliefs, and Gu Nancy certainly doesn't either, they are both atheists, so for her, what she can sigh about is the exotic architecture here.

Gu Nancy took her hand and walked side by side through this solemn sùmu.

There were monks passing by, and their words and deeds were very solemn and dignified.

There are also places to sell souvenirs in the temple, and they strolled all the way, and along the way she was often attracted by something, and occasionally stayed for ten minutes.

"There are a few snack bars here, we'll try them later." Because Ji Xinyao had just eaten very little at the old man's dinner, Gu Nancy said softly carefully.

Ji Xinyao nodded, turned her head and looked around, until she saw the 990-story staircase in front of the mosque, then stopped, and said with a smile: "Nancy, our honeymoon should not go abroad, what Thailand and what Maldives, in fact, it is nothing more than a place where we are tired of life to a place where other people's lives are tired, you see, in our own country, such a small mosque is so grand, as long as we are careful, it is estimated that we will not be able to visit all parts of the country in a lifetime." ”

He looked at her quietly: "What? Want to save money for your husband? ”

She raised her hand, her fingers sliding over his cheek in the afternoon sun: "I'm going to save a lot of money for my child to buy the most expensive, the best, without a little melamine ......"

A smile overflowed from his face, as bright as the sunshine in the sky: "You don't need to save this money, your husband hasn't mixed up so badly." ”

She laughed.

At the foot of the 999th floor, a little girl wearing a Tibetan costume who looked to be no more than five or six years old ran over, holding a big box in her hand, and said breathlessly: "Uncle and aunt, buy a few mayors!" ”

"......" Ji Xinyao was embarrassed.

“…… How many mayors to buy? Gu Nancy seemed to be a little entangled looking at the cute little girl, and saw Ji Xinyao laughing over there, so the corners of her eyes moved slightly, and she looked at the little girl helplessly.

I saw the little girl carefully put the box on the stairs and opened the lid, which was a long wooden box full of small Tibetan-style trinkets.

The little girl seemed to meet not many tourists here, and when she saw that the two of them could stop for herself, she happily squatted there and introduced: "This is the mayor of my grandma!" My grandma is sick, and I can't sell the mayor this month, so I'll sell it for my grandma, uncle and aunt, you can buy a few mayors, they are all our Tibetan mayors......"

It turned out that this little girl recognized the word "jewelry" as "mayor", well, looking at her young age, it's not her fault that she can't read, I'm afraid her grandma is often watching the news, otherwise how could it have such a big impact on this little girl.

Ji Xinyao couldn't help squatting down with a smile, patiently picking up the ornaments inside, she thought that Gu Nancy should not be interested in these things, but maybe it was the filial piety of this little girl who attracted him, he also leaned over and picked up a fine silver bracelet, and smiled at the little girl who was blushing and looking at them expectantly.

"How much is this 'mayor'?" He asked with a smile.

The little girl stretched out a small fist: "Grandma said, this will take a long time to carve, and it will cost ten yuan!" ”

Gu Nancy smiled and handed the money to the little girl, who fiddled with the money in her hand for a while, then touched her bag, quite distressed.
