……

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, whether he is rich or powerful, as long as a person is still alive, there will always be troubles in his heart.

Gao Ziyi, the mayor of Jiangcheng City, has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, and has climbed all the way from a small section level to the position of mayor, and it seems that he has a smooth career, and only he knows the joys and hardships, not to mention his beautiful and virtuous wife Zhou Qiping. That is the number one beauty in Jiangcheng in the past, and it can be said that marrying such a beauty to the family is boundless, I don't know how many old and young masters in Jiangcheng are envious.

The so-called awakening to the power of the world, drunk and lying in the arms of a beauty, in the eyes of others, although Gao Ziyi is not fully worthy of this sentence, the meaning is almost the same.

But in fact, on the surface, it is very glamorous, but secretly, it is a family trouble, and the heart is restless.

As he grew older, Gao Ziyi found that his body was getting worse and worse, and he became more and more powerless in sexual affairs, at first once a week, then changed to once a half month, then once a month, and now, he doesn't do it once a year.

The year before last, in order to secretly give birth to a son, he hid from his wife Zhou Qiping and raised a woman outside, wanting to borrow this woman's belly to leave a descendant for his Gao family.

Unexpectedly, although the woman was very interested, she always couldn't conceive, and Gao Ziyi naturally snubbed his wife because he had to take care of that side, so that he touched Zhou Qiping once for almost a year.

It is said that women are thirty like wolves, forty like tigers, and fifty can still suck soil when they sit on the ground, don't say that Zhou Qiping is a healthy and energetic young woman in her early thirties, but she may not be satisfied once a day, her body is not satisfied, and she has psychological complaints.

Today is a break, Gao Ziyi doesn't have to go to the municipal compound, he just wants to go out shopping with his wife to strengthen the relationship between husband and wife. Unexpectedly, his wife pretended to be sick and refused.

Gao Ziyi was outsourcing to raise women, and he felt ashamed of his wife, so he didn't dare to lose his temper at this time, sighed again and again, and came to the study.

When I was immersed in painting, I heard from the nanny at home that a guest who claimed to be Tang Wan came to visit with a young man.

Gao Ziyi's "Orchid Bamboo Picture" was about to take shape, but he was suddenly interrupted, frowned, and waved at the nanny: "Please come to the study." ”

When the pretty nanny heard this, she withdrew and brought Tang Wan and Jiang Feng into the study.

"Mayor Gao, excuse me." Tang Wan smiled apologetically.

"Uh......" Gao Ziyi was busy painting, and he didn't raise his head, just sighed.

The two of them were a little embarrassed.

Tang Wan is often in contact with those in power, so he is used to seeing such a cold face, not to mention that people are busy painting, and they don't deliberately pretend to ignore it, so they are relieved.

But Jiang Feng is different, he is at the age of arrogance, where can he stand such a cold reception, and immediately scolded in his heart, Nima, how to be an official is such a stubborn state. There are guests at home, you don't go out to greet you, why don't you even say hello, where is Nima here to give gifts to others, this is a hot face to stick to someone's cold ass!

Tang Wan glanced at Jiang Feng, signaling him not to be rash, then walked lightly to the desk, glanced at the painting that was about to be finished, and finally turned his gaze to Gao Ziyi, who bent over to concentrate on painting, and felt a burst of secret joy in his heart, and suddenly felt that the "Treading Snow and Plum Hunting" in his hand today was the right gift, although he was happy in his heart, he was not revealing on the surface, and said: "Mayor Gao really has Yaxing......

"Hmm." Gao Ziyi hummed lightly. Still didn't look up.

The two were embarrassed again.

Jiang Feng's heart was even more angry, he had never been ridiculed like this when he was so big, although it was said that the object of the snub just now was Tang Wan, but he was also the object of indirect snubbing, Nima, I have seen people who have been snubbed, but I have never seen you snubbed. If it weren't for the goal of revenge, where would Lao Tzu come here to see your cold face?

After finishing the last stroke, he stood up straight, and breathed a long sigh of relief, Gao Ziyi squeezed out a smile: "I'm sorry, you two have been waiting for a long time." ”

Nima, there is finally a human saying, and it is not sincere.

Jiang Feng's face was displeased.

"It's okay," Tang Wan waved his hand with an indifferent expression. Indicates that you don't mind.

"Huh? Don Jr., what's in your hand? Gao Ziyi found the painting scroll in Tang Wan's hand. The eyes lit up, as if Columbus had discovered the New World.

Pretty is beautiful, no matter where Tang Wan goes, he will receive a wave of praise and amazing eyes.

However, looking at beautiful girls is not amazing, and when they see a painting, they don't know if they are beautiful, and their eyes light up, which shows that Gao Ziyi's love for paintings is no less than his love for women.

"Well, this is where we came today." Tang Wan opened the painting in his hand as he spoke: "I have long heard that Mayor Gao likes to collect paintings, so I paid attention, I accidentally got a painting last month, it is Xiao Chen's "Treading Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms" in the Qing Dynasty, and I want to dedicate this painting to you, a collector of ancient paintings. ”

"Xiao Chen's "Treading the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms," Gao Ziyi's eyes condensed on the open paintings, love is the best teacher, although Gao Ziyi, who loves the collection of ancient paintings, did not invest in a good teacher, but he is self-taught, his research on ancient paintings, there is still a certain level, so, he just glanced at it, and determined that the painting in front of him must not be an imitation.

So Gao Ziyi became interested, took it from Tang Wan's hand and took it carefully, and a smile of amazement gradually appeared on his face, because he was sure in his heart that this painting was indeed the authentic work of Xiao Chen in the Qing Dynasty.

"Give it ......to me," the surprise on Gao Ziyi's face receded like a tide, he was quite reluctant and very simply rolled up the painting, and sent it to Tang Wan's hands, "Where do you dare to do this?" ”

Tang Wan naturally didn't take the painting, and said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, I just think that Mayor Gao is an expert in knowing goods, so I intend to give ...... away."

"I heard that you are also a lover of ancient paintings," Gao Ziyi said: "I, I'm a bit loved." ”

After that, Gao Ziyi shook his head and waved his hand, looking categorically unwilling to accept it.

Jiang Feng saw his pretending to be high-minded, and his heart became more and more angry.

Nima, really good at pretending. Forced, obviously you want to get it, but you make a clean and lofty appearance, do you think you are a clean official if you do this?

Gao Ziyi is of course not a Qing official, he has received a lot of benefits from the Yao family before, and now the old city is renovated, and his first consideration for investment convenience is the White Pigeon Group, so that he can get a lot of "worship" from the Yao family. And this so-called offering, naturally not a painting worth about one million can be compared, he likes to collect ancient paintings, and the taste is relatively heavy, this Xiao Chen's "Treading Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms", although he also likes it, but it is not enough to make him tempted.

"Oh, Mayor Gao, you won't even give this face," Tang Wan refused to give up.

She knew that she did not have the Yao family's strong financial resources, nor the Yao family's generosity, and the Yao family was preconceived, and the relationship with Gao Ziyi was not comparable to the Tang family, so if she sent money, it might not arouse Gao Ziyi's interest even if she sent more than the Yao family, so she wanted to use this painting to impress Gao Ziyi.

"Okay, Xiao Gao, I still have to paint, so I won't send the two." Gao Ziyi actually issued an eviction order.

At this moment, Tang Wan bit her lower lip, looking disheartened, gave Jiang Feng a look and motioned for them to leave.

Jiang Feng stood still. staring at Gao Ziyi with both eyes, he sneered:

"Mayor Gao must think this painting is cheap, so he refuses to accept it."

Jiang Feng's words startled Tang Wan, and complained in her heart, You are too good at speaking, so it is no wonder if you don't offend others, she stared at Gao Ziyi worriedly, for fear that he would be angry.

Unexpectedly, the shrewd Gao Ziyi smiled and said, "On the contrary, this painting is too valuable, so I don't dare to accept it." ”

"Then, what Mayor Gao means is that if it's a worthless painting, you'll accept it." Jiang Feng asked with a sneer.

Gao Ziyi turned his face and stared at Jiang Feng, he didn't expect this Jiang Feng to be so ignorant, his own eviction order had been issued, he didn't even leave with a dead face, and he was still here to reason with him, his face became unhappy at the moment, and he said with a calm face: "Even if what you say is true!" ”

Tang Wan didn't know what Jiang Feng was going to do, but it seemed that he was going to be more serious with Gao Ziyi, and his heart sank at the moment, and he looked at Jiang Feng anxiously, signaling him to leave with him, Jiang Cheng's parents and officials, where can they afford to offend.

Jiang Fengli ignored it, and said to Gao Ziyi: "Okay, I'll draw a picture now, it's not worth a penny, and then I'll give you this painting!" ”

Jiang Feng said, regardless of whether Gao Ziyi agreed or not, he stepped to the painting table, took out a piece of rice paper and spread it on the painting, and picked up the pen and painted.
