Chapter 18: Catching the Week (Asking for Collection Recommendations)
"Who's your name?"
For a moment, everyone in the hall looked at each other with a confused look on their faces.
At this moment, Jiang Million coughed, stood up and said with a smile: "Don't snow, just find someone to call me, why bother with you going out in person......"
"You think I want to?" Chen Beixue glanced faintly: "I was pulled into a strong ding." ”
"Ahem......" Jiang Million smiled embarrassedly, then noticed the strange gazes of everyone next to him, and immediately said decisively: "Don't snow, let's go, we can't let my uncle wait in a hurry." ”
Chen Beixue pursed her lips, didn't even say hello, and turned around and left directly.
Jiang Million seemed to be accustomed to his temperament, so naturally he wouldn't mind, followed a few steps, and suddenly turned around: "Qi Xiang, what are you doing in a daze, come." ”
"Huh?" Qi Xiang woke up like a dream and hurriedly followed.
Along the way, he was also a little dazed, and his heart was somewhat uneasy. He remembered that a few years ago, he met Jiang Million for the first time. At that time, Jiang Million, wandering around the stall, inadvertently touched him, knocked the porcelain bowl in his hand to the ground and smashed it.
At that time, he didn't cheat anyone, as long as he paid the original price compensation.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Million was very reluctant not to go, so he had to invite him to dinner and apologize.
chatted at the dinner table, and the two also felt that they fell in love and exchanged contact information.
At that time, he was still eating in the antique market, and Jiang Million was free in his spare time, and he also liked to come and shop. came and went, and the number of interviews increased, and the two slowly became acquainted.
When he was free, he also helped Jiang Million to find some things.
After a long time of contact, Jiang Million invited him to his home as a guest, and he was surprised to find that Jiang Million was still a local tyrant. Originally, it was enough to be inconspicuous, but I didn't expect it, it seems to be hidden even deeper.
At the very least, Qi Xiang never knew that Jiang Million still had a deep relationship with the Chen family. can call Chen Futu an uncle, and it is even more annoying for the second young man of the Chen family to invite him personally, if you want to say that they have an average relationship, it is insulting everyone's IQ.
Not only did Qi Xiang think so, but others were even more surprised.
Especially the few people who were still talking and laughing with Jiang Million just now, while shocked, they were even more surprised. Seems to be a burst of luck and climbed up the thigh?
Not to mention everyone's speculation, anyway, under the guidance of Jiang Million, Qi Xiang left the wide courtyard, and followed the undulating mountain building, and went around for more than ten minutes before he stopped in a very elegant attic.
The attic is made of pure wood, and the intricate hollow window grilles are very delicately carved. Several large red pillars are symmetrically supported, and bells hang under the cornices. When the wind blows, the bell is crisp and pleasant, full of charm.
The attic door opens to a spacious hall.
At this moment, there were also many people in the hall, gathered around a soft carpet, smiling and watching a white and tender fat doll sitting between a pile of things, scratching and biting......
Qi Xiang glanced at it and knew what was going on.
"Catch Zhou!"
This is also a very ancient custom, and it is said that there was such a custom before the pre-Qin period. In the Tang and Song dynasties, it began to spread all over the country, called the trial of the sun, or the Zhou sun.
The ancients believed that if a child catches Zhou and sees what he catches, he can know whether he has a future when he grows up.
Of course, people nowadays definitely don't have this kind of superstitious idea. Holding the week ceremony is purely a fun game to help the child have a happy first birthday.
Walking into the hall, Qi Xiang also saw more clearly, only to see the things placed on the carpet, including books, abacus, coins, brushes, and all kinds of messy and very valuable things.
A rough count shows that there are at least hundreds, and each piece is different.
The chubby, red-bellied child, with small hands and feet as white and tender as lotus roots, was lying on top of a pile of things, with dark eyes, very confused, and did not understand what a group of hateful adults wanted him to do.
Under the urging and guidance of others, he grabbed a jade seal with trembling hands, and then took a bite in his mouth......
In an instant, the child's facial features were wrinkled, and with a wave of his little hand, he lost the seal.
"Haha......"
In the crowd, everyone laughed merrily.
"Poor baby, leaving a piece of black history at such a young age, you must be ashamed of yourself when you grow up." Chen Beixue shook her head slightly, walked up quickly and said, "Dad, Third Brother Jiang is here." ”
When a person hears the sound, he suddenly turns around, like a lion turning back, and naturally has a bearing.
That person is about fifty or sixty, the heavenly court is full, the earth pavilion is round, the skin of the face is fair, and it reveals a ruddy luster, which is a typical appearance of wealth and longevity.
Qi Xiang doesn't know how to read looks, but he knows how to read people.
Needless to say, that person must be the dominant one, and there is a real nameless Jinling King Chen Futu.
As a big man in the eyes of many people, Chen Futu has no arrogance, his attitude is very easy-going, and he beckoned with a smile: "Zhongliu, since you are here, just come over, why wait outside." ”
Qi Xiang was stunned, but suddenly heard Jiang Million respond with a smile: "Knowing that Uncle you are busy, I won't bother me much." ”
"I'm busy, but I'm just busy entertaining you visitors." Chen Futu smiled and said, "If you don't come, how can I be busy?" ”
Jiang Million was submissive, and suddenly, someone in the crowd laughed and said, "Uncle, I don't think people are afraid of disturbing you, but they have a big shelf, waiting for you to send someone to invite him." ”
Qi Xiang looked for prestige, only to see a man in his thirties walking out, with a warm smile on his face, and he treated people as warm as a spring breeze. Every word seems to be a joke, but in fact, it hides a sharp edge, and a knife is hidden in the smile.
"Fog in the clouds!" As soon as Jiang Million's expression changed, his face turned cold.
He was cold, but the fog in the clouds was hot, and he came enthusiastically, greeting with a smile: "Brother Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”
"It's good, but it's not so good to see you." Jiang Million was very direct, and snorted: "We don't seem to know each other, can you stay away from me, it's annoying to see you." ”
"Brother Jiang, you're still so funny." Yun Zhongwu smiled, and a faint flash of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Million also smiled, and said with a simple expression: "It's not that I'm funny, it's your humorous ......"
As long as you know what the relationship between the two is usually, you can hear it, Jiang Million's words are full of sarcasm.
Yun Zhongwu pretended not to understand, and continued to smile: "Brother Jiang, just now I saw someone carrying a big box, I heard that it was a congratulatory gift from you to my uncle, what a big deal." ”
Jiang Million ignored him, turned his head and said, "Be careful, not respectful, I hope my uncle can like it." ”
Chen Futu didn't seem to know that the two were fighting openly and secretly, and he was still very easy-going: "It's good that you guys are here, don't always bring any gifts......"
Chen Beixue next to her listened to a few words, seemed to be a little impatient, walked away directly, and then came to the carpet, bent down to pick up the chubby child, and sat next to him to amuse.
After a while, the child was babbling and dancing to silly music.
Seeing this, the people next to them dispersed very tacitly, and gathered together in twos and threes, chatting with each other.
Qi Xiang observed silently, but sighed very much in his heart. The words of these people seem to hide a lot of information, which really opens his eyes and makes him eager to try.
These people talk about topics such as finance, technology, current affairs, and stocks......
Some sporadic inside information made Qi Xiang hate to fly back immediately, and then buy and buy. He is now seriously short of money, and naturally does not want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune.
When Qi Xiang was in a surging mood, he suddenly felt that the corners of his pants were tight, and he hurriedly looked down and was stunned.
I saw that at this time, Chen Bixue seemed to be exercising the fat doll's ability to crawl, and took a rattle in front of her to tease her, and the child heard the sound and immediately crawled over with both hands and feet.
But he was only halfway up, and when he passed by Qi Xiang, the child suddenly stopped moving, I don't know if he was tired, anyway, he directly raised his chubby little hand and pulled Qi Xiang's trouser corner, as if he was hugging.
For a while, everyone was staring and feeling the different meanings of everyone's gaze, and Qi Xiang was also a little dazed and at a loss.
Fortunately, at this time, Chen Bixue came quickly, glanced at Qi Xiang coldly, and immediately held the child in his arms. He tried to walk away, but the child struggled and babbled with his little hands.
Chen Beixue frowned, and hurriedly put the rattle cold on the child's hand, and played with it.
Unexpectedly, the chubby doll didn't appreciate it at all, and threw the rattle casually, babbling in his mouth, faintly crying.
In an instant, a young woman in her twenties, white skin and beauty, dignified and beautiful, hurriedly walked over and chuckled: "Second uncle, he may be hungry, let me hug him." ”
Chen Beixue nodded and handed the child to the young woman.
"Don't cry baby, be good...... the young woman gently coaxed, took a bottle of warm milk on the table next to her, and carefully placed it on the child's mouth.
The child took two mouthfuls, suddenly twisted his head, and his white and tender chubby little hands grabbed in the air indiscriminately, and his body was constantly struggling, babbling in his mouth.
The movement here was not small, and it quickly attracted everyone's attention, and Chen Futu even left Jiang Million and the fog in the clouds, strode over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Dad, the baby seems to be hungry, but he refuses to eat." The young woman whispered, a little apprehensive.
Chen Futu personally inspected the milk and found that there was no problem. But when it was put to the child's mouth, he was really not interested, and his chubby little white hand kept stretching out in one direction, as if he wanted to grasp something.
Seeing this, Chen Futu's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Put him down." ”
"Huh?" The young woman was startled and stunned for a moment, but she did not dare to disobey Chen Futu's wishes, so she had to carefully put the child on the soft carpet.
As soon as the child landed, there seemed to be a look of confusion in his dark and shiny eyes. Soon, however, he turned around, and climbed merrily at the feet of a man, and continued to tug at the corners of his trousers, holding his fleshy little hands high......
