CHAPTER XIV
As soon as a plate of cherry tomatoes was washed, Aunt Zhou ran in in a hurry, "Miss Mengran is back." ”
Mei Ran continued to slice the guava into slices and smiled lightly, "I'll be back when I'm back." ”
Old Aunt Zhou's chest shook violently, and she gasped, "She came back this time and dressed up like a demon, I was almost scared out of her eyes when I first entered the door, the old lady was so happy to see her, she didn't even say anything about her chest exposed, you must know that you used to wear ......"
Mei Ran turned off the faucet and dried her hands, and then asked slowly, "You just said that what did the old lady in my shorts say about me behind my back?" ”
Old Aunt Zhou swallowed her saliva, "Say you...... Offend public decency. ”
Mei Ran: "......"
"She's old and confused, her elbow turned out, obviously you are the Miss of the Mei family, she ......"
"Aunt Zhou," Mei Ran interrupted her softly, "as long as she is still a member of the Mei family for a day." ”
Aunt Zhou has lived most of her life, and she doesn't have the girl in front of her, so she can't help but sigh, "Miss Ran, I just feel worthless for you." That Mei Mengran compares with you everywhere, her mouth is sweeter than you, she is better than you to coax the old lady, and now she has become a big star, I really can't get used to her arrogant appearance, do I really think that the little sparrow in the ravine has changed her surname to be a real phoenix? ”
"There's nothing unworthy," said Meran, "I'm me, she's her, and she's not important enough to affect my life." ”
"Alright, let's take all the fruit out."
"Wait!"
Mei Ran was puzzled, "Huh? ”
I saw that Aunt Zhou suddenly reached over and put it on her waist, and lifted her skirt up, "Isn't this white and straight leg hidden a tyrannical thing?" ”
Mei Ran couldn't help but laugh.
In the living room, Mrs. Mei said with a smile, "Mr. Fu, my family is not boasting about me, I have been well-behaved and lovely since I was a child, and now I have become a popular star, and my singing is good!" ”
Mei Mengran blushed beside her, and said coquettishly, "Grandma, how can I be as good as you say?" ”
The old lady was born with a big waist and a round waist when she was young, and her demeanor did not diminish when she was old, and the mole at the corner of her mouth almost squeezed into the corner of her eyes when she laughed, "You are in my heart, that is the best!" ”
"Mr. Fu," Mei Mengran looked shy, "We've met a few times before, do you remember?" ”
Mrs. Mei was pleasantly surprised, "So fateful? She patted Mei Mengran's hand, "You have become a big star, and now you are a household name, and grandma will be waiting to touch your light in the future!" ”
Fu Shijin thought for a moment, "I'm not impressed." ”
The old lady's smile was straight at the corner of her mouth.
"How so?" Mei Mengran was so anxious that she was about to cry, "I was obviously ...... last time"
Mei Liangzhi hurriedly played a round game, "Ranran, are you mistaken, I heard that Mr. Fu only returned to China recently." ”
At this time, Mei Ran came out of the kitchen, and the old lady's eyes lit up when she saw her, "Mr. Fu, this is another daughter of my Mei family." ”
Her tone seemed to have the smugness of winning a game, and there was a faint mockery, "A good young lady doesn't do it, she wants to go out to be some little-known doctor, I guess you haven't even heard of her." ”
Mei Ran watered the brewed tea with a cup of water, and when it was Fu Shijin's turn, she handed him a cup of warm boiled water, "You can only drink this." ”
He took it and looked at the old lady, "Unfortunately, she is my attending physician." ”
The man's eyes already faintly exuded a cold aura of displeasure, but because of his cultivation, he did not show it on his face.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate, and Mei Qingyuan laughed out loud out at an inopportune time, "What a coincidence! ”
Before the words fell, Mrs. Mei glared at her fiercely and touched the ash of her nose.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhou came over in time, "Mr. Fu, sir, please come to the study." ”
Mei Ran read something from her secret eyes, and walked out after with kindness.
Mei Liangzhi also felt bored, and he was really tired and panicked, so he went back to the room first.
There were only three people left in the living room, and the old lady let out a heavy "hum" from her nose: "This young man is too proud, but how can you fall in love with him?" ”
Mei Mengran was absent-minded and coped with something casually.
Mei Qingyuan touched his nose, "He also has proud capital, I heard that his background is very deep, as far as I heard the bright news, he himself is an antique collector and appraiser, and the famous shop in Shanghai is under his ......name."
The old lady sneered, "I'm a dignified Mei family...... What did you say? She gasped a few times, "More than 100 million yuan is donated like this?" ”
The abacus in her heart immediately burst into an uproar, and a pink light of surprise burst out from her old eyes, "Ranran, this man is rare, if you marry him, you don't have to worry about it in this life and the next life!" ”
Hearing this, Mei Mengran's whole person became vivid like a dead tree in spring, "Grandma, do you think I can marry him?" ”
"Unlikely."
Mei Qingyuan touched his chin, looked at his adopted daughter and said thoughtfully, "The gap between you is too great, if you want me to say, in terms of family background, maybe Ran Ran will be more suitable." ”
"You bastard!" The old lady took a sip, "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and his elbow is still turning out, tell me, but what's worse than that Meiran?!" ”
Mei Qingyuan shrank aside and didn't speak.
There is a reason for Mrs. Mei's partiality, only one of the two brothers of the Mei family is her own, and she is the stupid person in front of her!
She was a top fighter in her life, came out of the small hill, and was hired by the Mei family to serve the old man by coincidence, and later climbed out of bed and became the wife of the Mei family, and finally gave birth to a big fat son.
The poverty and despair in the first half of his life was like a dream in his life, I thought that he would be stable for a lifetime, but I didn't expect that the old man Mei suddenly had a serious illness, and he was about to die soon.
The old man was so made by her that he rolled his eyes, and he could only take his last breath and tell the eldest son who was kneeling in front of the bed, "Half of the family brothers, son, you have to be kind to this future mother......"
After the old man's death, the old lady firmly consolidated her position as the head of the house with these words, and tried to squeeze out the thorn in the side of the Mei family.
Mei Hongyuan was young and vigorous at the time, and he didn't care to fight with a woman at all, so he simply went out to break into the world alone.
A few years later, when he returned to his hometown with his wife and young daughter with the whole group, the entire Mei family regarded him as the pillar of the family, and the scenery was infinite.
And Mei Qingyuan, who was spoiled by the old lady since he was a child, after squandering most of the family property, finally took a position in the city hall with a relationship, which was tepid.
The old lady had already grown thousands of thorns in her heart, and she was so jealous and hateful that she didn't know how many times she had replaced her gold teeth, but unfortunately the general trend was irreparable.
Now, from this young man, she seems to see hope again, and she is ashamed.
In the study, the lights are bright.
The tall man stood in front of a painting, his eyes drooping slightly, "This "Pinghu Flowing Spring Picture" is stained with light colors, splashed with thick ink, the ink rhyme is vivid, and the artistic conception is faint, and it is undoubtedly Tang Yin's authentic work. ”
As everyone knows, Tang Yin of the Wumen School of Painting in the Ming Dynasty is known for his painting style "beautiful and meticulous", and his works are the peak of Chinese literati painting, and the collection value is extremely high, so there is no shortage of fakes on the market.
Fu Shijin is an expert in antique research and identification, and since he said that it is genuine, there will be no fake, Mei Hongyuan laughed loudly, "Then my money is not spent in vain." ”
"The appraisal of calligraphy and painting generally starts with seals, paper silks, inscriptions, collection seals, descriptions and decorations," Fu Shijin's voice was pressed a little lower, his voice was low, and it sounded very magnetic, "I have just checked them one by one, and there is no problem, in addition, there is a credential." ”
"Oh?" Mei Hongyuan was very interested, and Mei Ran also looked over, with a shallow smile on her lips.
"Intuition." Fu Shijin chuckled, and the soft light melted the smile in his eyes, "I was fortunate enough to buy a partial fragment of Tang Yin's "Eight Scenes" from a Singaporean businessman. ”
He turned around again, and his gaze fell meaningfully on the person opposite, "Everyone has his characteristics when he speaks, and you can know who he is when you listen to the pronunciation, which is the sound of hearing and distinguishing shapes, and the same is true for calligraphy and painting identification." ”
Seeing Mei Ran hang her head, he pulled his gaze back inch by inch.
"Not bad, not bad." Mei Hongyuan nodded again and again, looking at him with a little appreciation, "You have the demeanor of your grandfather back then." ”
He and Mr. Fu are old friends, Mr. Fu was a well-known figure in the antique collecting industry back then, but he didn't expect his grandson to be better than the blue now.
Hearing people mention his grandfather, Fu Shijin's expression was a little gloomy, he was lost in his childhood, lived with his grandfather, and his grandfather could see jade porcelain and famous paintings of the past dynasties everywhere in the house, and his grandfather taught him to identify them. Now that I think about it, he has something to do with this old man when he embarked on this road.
Unconsciously, it was late at night, and the three of them went out of the study together, Mei Hongyuan's bedroom was in the southeast corner, which was different from them, so they separated at the door.
Mei Ran seemed to have something on her mind, and even her shadow was a little heavy, Fu Shijin didn't speak, and walked quietly next to her.
The phone ringtone suddenly broke the silence, "When I am the most beautiful, I am lucky to meet you......"
This is the ringtone that Yu Sheng specially helped to set up, and her call came out of place. Mei Ran was a little weak-hearted, and hung up after saying a few words after connecting.
From behind him, the voice of the man Qing Lingling came, and his tone was so light that he couldn't hear any emotion, "This is MR's "Encounter"? ”
"Yes...... yes," Mei Ran struggled to make her voice sound calm, "what a coincidence...... Ah, Mr. Fu, you also know MR? I like her. ”
He didn't answer, but turned sideways to look at her, Mei Ran's heart was like a mess, dancing out of rhythm, the man's deep eyes were like the bright night sky above his head at the moment, mysterious and distant, no, sometimes very close, so close that she could clearly see the little self reflected above.
"Really?" The man's breath brushed her cheeks warmly, "I like her too." ”
