Chapter 102 Sketch

The snow on both sides of the road was stained by merciless footprints and wheels, and covered with a layer of gray black dust.

On this day, just after the lively New Year, the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Li Yi looked through the car window, looked at the bustling street outside, and asked Li Zhengyu, the uncle sitting in the driver's seat: "Uncle, where are you taking me?" ”

Li Zhengyu smiled: "I'm impatient to the ground, don't you know?" ”

Li Yi said: "I don't want to talk to my uncle about things."

"Why, I can only chat with my uncle, but I can't go shopping with my uncle?"

"Uncle, you know I didn't mean that. My uncle will go abroad in two days, and I still have a lot of time with my uncle."

Li Zhengyu said: "It doesn't take up much of your time, just accompany me for a cup of coffee." ”

Li Yi wondered if the uncle had something to talk to him, so he didn't say anything more.

The car turned a corner and stopped in front of an antique building.

The two got out of the car, Li Yi glanced at the house, and said with a smile: "Uncle, this is a café?" I look like the Manchu Emperor's mansion."

Li Zhengyu smiled: "You don't understand, what does it mean to follow the customs?" As soon as this foreign coffee enters our capital, it has to be integrated with our ancient culture, which is called the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. Hehe, go inside, you won't be disappointed. ”

There is only a plaque hanging outside the door, with two elegant characters on it: "Shen Yun". There are no instructions or advertisements to prove that this is a place to drink coffee. If Li Yi passed by here alone, he would never have imagined that this ordinary-looking old-fashioned building would have a cave inside.

Li Yi reached out to push the ancient door, but found that it couldn't be pushed. Li Zhengyu smiled and took out a card, swiped it lightly in a small crack on the door, and the door opened in response. Only then did Li Yi notice that it was an advanced access control system, which was relatively rare at that time.

How can it be like an underground party connector Li Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, could it be that the upper-class people drink coffee and have to keep it a hundred thousand points secret?

Pushing the door in, a maid dressed in Qing Dynasty costume at the door, with a sweet smile, bowed and asked, "Sir, are they two?" ”

Li Zhengyu said: "No, three. There's one more to come. ”

"Sir, please." The maid led the two of them inside.

There are not many people in it, and there are very few people who can go to such a remote place to drink coffee.

Li Yi didn't know what other distinguished guests Li Zhengyu had made, and he didn't want to ask, so he followed behind.

After the gate, the inside is completely a paradise scene, the rockery in the yard is made of Taihu Lake stones, the living water flows, and the stream is murmuring.

Sitting on a wide mahogany chair, drinking authentic Mandheling coffee, listening to the elegant and classical sound of the zither, and admiring the occasional handmaid walking by outside the window. Li Yi was in a trance, and there was a feeling of traveling to the Qing Dynasty.

"How?" Li Zhengyu smiled and asked, "It feels good, right?" ”

Li Yi smiled: "It's really good." This blend of Eastern and Western cultures suddenly reminded me of many things and gave me a lot of insights. ”

Li Zhengyu nodded: "It's the first time I've come here, and I think and feel the same as you." I was thinking about how sacred I was as a primate in the long history of mankind and in the long and colorful human civilization of the earth. ”

Li Yi said: "I didn't think about those philosophical questions, I just thought that every nation and every civilization has its own brilliant things, which are worthy of serious study. ”

Lee Jung-woo smiled: "Okay, let's talk about something lighter." ”

Li Yi said: "Is it related to the guest who is going to come?" ”

Li Zhengyu said: "Yes." Xiao Yi, I want to talk to you about your father's past. ”

"Oh? This can be talked about," Li Yi put down the coffee in his hand.

Li Zhengyu said: "Actually, your biological mother is not Ah Yuan's first love. The reason why A-Yuan ran to the countryside so far away was to escape a fruitless aiqing. ”

Li Yi listened quietly, he knew that Ah Yuan was his biological father, Li Zhengyuan.

"Ah Yuan is the smartest of our siblings, and of course, he is also the one with the most strange ideas. Since he was a child, he did not obey his father's arrangement, and his father wanted him to enter politics, but he refused, his hobby was painting. His ambition was to become a painter. After graduating from high school, he hid from his father and applied for the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts, and met a woman in school, her name was Chen Ming. ”

Li Yi imagined in his mind what the woman named Chen Ming looked like.

"Their aiqing is not blessed by the woman's parents, and you can imagine the ending." When Li Zhengyu said this, his expression was very lonely: "I'm useless, if I had put more effort into asking Chen Ming's parents to accept A-Yuan, A-Yuan wouldn't have run away in anger, then he wouldn't have died."

Li Yiqiang smiled: "Uncle, there is something wrong with what you said, if my father didn't run away from home, he wouldn't know my mother, he didn't know my mother, so where did I come from?" If that's the case, the one sitting across from you now won't be me Li Yi."

Li Zhengyu was amused by Li Yi's words: "Yes, the past is like smoke, look back at me, how can I talk and talk about it, it will be heavy, and it will be easy to talk." This Chen Ming later married someone else. ”

Li Yi said: "Uncle, what you asked for today won't be this Aunt Chen Ming, right?" ”

Li Zhengyu said: "Don't interrupt first. After Chen Ming got married, he only gave birth to a daughter, and the one who gave birth was called a beautiful and dignified, anyway, in the capital, I can't find a second person more Haode than her."

Li Yi glared and said, "Uncle, are you sure you're not depicting a fairy in the sky?" ”

Li Zhengyu smiled: "Later, when she comes, you will know if the uncle is bragging"

"Ah, you're dating Chen Ming's daughter? It can't be a blind date, right? Li Yi leaned back in the chair helplessly: "Uncle, I have made it clear to my grandfather about this matter, I already have a girlfriend."

Li Zhengyu said: "Can people look down on you, and say so, why are you excited?" ”

Li Yi said: "Anyway, no matter if she looks like a fairy or Chang'e, I won't be tempted."

Li Zhengyu said: "Explain in advance, this is not a blind date. This is not my arrangement, let alone the old man's arrangement, don't mess with weirdos. ”

"Oh?" Li Yi looked incredulous.

Li Zhengyu said: "This is proposed by the little girl herself, she knows that you are in the capital, and she wants to see you." ”

Li Yi has nothing to say, and the girl takes the initiative to meet, isn't it too much?

Li Zhengyu looked at his watch: "It's coming soon." I have a bad kidney, drink more water and keep running to the toilet, you wait here, I will come when I go. ”

Li Yi nodded, took a sip of coffee.

In the corridor, a graceful and amorous girl walked over to this side under the guidance of the maid.

Li Yi felt that she was a little kind, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks. I watched her walk in front of me.

"Li Yi, hello" The girl smiled and stretched out her hand: "What, you don't know me?" ”

"Some impressions." Li Yi smiled, got up and shook her hand, and asked her to sit down.

"My name is Lin Xin."

"Lin Xin, hello. Where have we met? Li Yi asked.

Lin Xin smiled slightly, took out a notebook from her bag, opened one of the pages, and handed it to Li Yi: "Look at this." ”

Li Yi took it suspiciously, only glanced at it, and the whole person was stunned.

This is a character sketch, and the character on the painting is actually Li Yi himself

Vivid, energetic, waving to speak.

"How's it going, do you have an impression?" Lin Xin asked with a smile.

"Oh" Li Yi suddenly remembered someone: "I know, this is the situation when I gave a speech at the Counselors' Meeting of the State Council." You look at the podocarpus in the back of this, I have a special impression."

Lin Xin said: "It turns out that the impression I gave you is not as good as a podocarpus." Is this one of the great sorrows of my life? ”

"Haha, Miss Lin is really good at laughing. Uh, weren't you a stenographer at the time? That day, I praised you in my heart, saying that this girl is really dedicated, and the brush brushed it, and you were busy sketching me without leaving the paper? That's too much, isn't it? Li Yi teased.

Lin Xin smiled: "Actually, I am not a staff member of the General Office of the Central Committee. Well, that day, when I heard that you were going to that meeting, I pestered Uncle Prime Minister and asked him to take me to meet you. ”

Li Yi said: "I am flattered. But do you want to see me? ”

Lin Xin said: "Don't think crooked. I always heard my mom mention your dad and say how handsome and rare he was. I have listened a lot since I was a child, and in my young heart, I have a very persistent thought that I must meet this Uncle Li when I grow up. It's a pity that I can't see Uncle Li's face. ”

Li Yi said: "So, you want to come and see me?" Hehe, didn't disappoint you, did you? ”

Lin Xin said: "What I really want to see you is the accident at Haidu Airport. I'm curious, what kind of person is Yujian who actually saved my dad's life when there was a bomb on a plane thousands of miles away."

Li Yi said: "Can I not talk about this issue?" ”

Lin Xin said: "Of course. I respect your wishes. Do you think I'm good-looking? ”

Li Yi nodded honestly: "It's good-looking." ”

Lin Xin smiled: "No wonder you keep staring at me." ”

Li Yi smiled awkwardly: "This can only be blamed on your mother, who told her to give birth to you so beautifully Really, you are the most amazing woman I have ever seen." I use the word amazing, but it definitely doesn't describe all of your strengths. Even of all the women I've seen in my past and present lives, there is no one more beautiful than you. ”

When Lin Xin heard the compliment, she still had a little vanity, and smiled sweetly: "What, do you believe that there is a past life?" ”

"Past life?" An image suddenly flashed in Li Yi's mind, a shadow that he tried to search for but had a vague impression, a woman's face, it was a stunning woman's face that he saw through the car window when he heard his soul leave his body in his previous life
