Chapter 170: Visiting He Lao
The poor in the downtown no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.
As soon as Li Mobai got off the plane and walked out of the exit of Lukou Airport, he saw a young man in his early twenties holding a piece of paper with his name written on it, knowing that this was someone arranged by He Lao to pick him up.
"Hello, I'm Li Mobai."
When the young man heard Li Mobai's words, he accepted the sign and smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Li, but I've heard of you a long time ago!" ”
"It's Brother Heping, right?" Li Mobai stretched out his hand and shook hands with the young man.
"Brother Li knows me?" The young man said with some surprise.
Li Mobai only called He Zhiqiu yesterday, He Zhiqiu said that he asked his grandson He Ping to come to the airport to greet him, and Li Mobai remembered it, otherwise he would not have heard of it at all, but he still said nonsense, "Of course, He Lao often mentions you." ”
He Ping was immediately happy when he heard this, "Brother Li, let's get in the car, I heard grandpa say that you booked a hotel, Brother Li came to Jianye, and you still need to book a hotel, just live in my house, there are a lot of houses." ”
He Ping said so, did the same, and took Li Mobai home directly, and did not go to the hotel at all.
The house of the He family is really as He Ping said, it is indeed big enough, covering an area of more than one acre, with a large courtyard, and a Western-style three-story small western-style building standing in the center of the courtyard, located in the urban area of Linjiang, which is obviously worth a lot.
Walking into the courtyard and seeing He Zhiqiu, Li Mobai hurriedly bent down and said deeply, "Hello He, Mobai greets you, and at the same time, I also greet you on behalf of the old man." ”
"Mo Bai, go and sit in the room, I heard that you have been in the limelight lately, and you have played a trick on those stupid boys of the Shi family?" He Zhiqiu opened his mouth and asked.
He Lao smiled, it was just a battle of will. Li Mobai said modestly.
"A battle of wills? Shi Qingshan punished those boys severely, in the future, it would be best if he had the opportunity to tease Shi Qingshan! He Zhiqiu laughed and said.
"Mo Bai is still young, and he still needs to mention more." Li Mobai said respectfully.
He Zhiqiu saw that Li Mobai had a very good attitude and was in a very happy mood, so he introduced the family members one by one, and Li Mobai also greeted them one by one, and presented a gift - the white jade jewelry he had just bought from Yangmei.
He Zhiqiu saw that everyone had gifts, but he didn't, so he joked, "Mo Bai, you can't favor one over the other, why don't you have gifts from my old man?" ”
Li Mobai was happy when he heard this, "Old He, how dare you not have your old gift, it's just that Mobai is worried that you don't like it, so he hasn't dared to show ugliness until now." ”
"Oh? It looks a little special, so take it out and let me see it. When He Zhiqiu heard Li Mobai's words, he was immediately aroused.
When Li Mobai was talking, Xiao Bai had already taken out a box from the suitcase and handed it to Li Mobai, Li Mobai didn't open the box with it, and directly handed the box to He Zhiqiu.
He Zhiqiu took it and opened the box to take a look, and found that it was a jade jade carving, so he picked it up and looked at it, and praised it as soon as he picked it up, "What a great carver, and the idea is also very good!" ”
This is a jade carving work of Crazy Six, the material is very ordinary, just the most common bean green seed material, but Crazy Six carved the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest according to the characteristics of the material.
"Well, although the material is very ordinary, what is particularly rare is that it is very well used, and it shows the grace of Wei and Jin very well." He Zhiqiu looked at the jade carving in his hand and continued, "This work should have been carved recently, where did you find Mobai?" ”
"If you like it, I will carve it again for you with good materials in the future!" Li Mobai smiled and said, "This is the work of Huang Qingxuan, the engraver of He's Jewelry Company." ”
"Okay, well, I heard that you have risen ten times in Pingzhou, but I didn't expect you to dig such an excellent carver." He Zhiqiu praised again and again.
After talking for a while, under the leadership of He Ping, after Li Mobai washed up, it was time for lunch, the meal was ready, and He Zhiqiu personally accompanied him, "Mobai, come to my house, just like in your own home!" ”
"Old He, this time I came here to see you, and I want to go to Yangzhou to visit Master Bai Xianyong, I don't know if He Lao is familiar with Bai Lao?"
"Mo Bai, you kid is so calculating, you obviously want me to be a lobbyist for you, right?" He Zhiqiu understood Li Mobai's intentions as soon as he heard it.
"I can't hide anything from you, I have some good jade material on hand, I want to invite Bai Lao out of the mountain, but I don't know Bai Lao!" Li Mobai was exposed by He Zhiqiu, and he was not embarrassed, and said generously.
"This matter, your old man speaks better than me, why are you willing to go far!" He Zhiqiu said a little strangely.
Li Mobai heard the words and said in his heart If the old man is willing to speak, I won't come to you, "Old He, the old man doesn't know yet, I think that Old He is close, and speaking will definitely work." ”
"Mo Bai, I really can't help you with this, Bai Xianyong's old guy is notoriously difficult, he doesn't care if your material is good or bad, and he doesn't care if you are a powerful elite, he only looks at people, and he can say anything if it is pleasing to the eye." He Zhiqiu smiled and said with a smile, looking helpless.
Li Mobai looked at He Zhiqiu and played a trick, and said in his heart, Didn't the old man say that you have a beautiful granddaughter, if you don't help me, be careful that I will cause you a disaster. No, there are no young girls here, it seems that the old man has been fooled again, "He Lao hasn't been to Yangzhou for a long time, I heard that Yangzhou's crab roe lion head is a must, and it just so happens that now should be the time when hairy crabs taste the most delicious." ”
"Haha, this trick is not good for me, my least favorite dish is the lion's head!" He Zhiqiu laughed.
It's just that after He Ping next to him heard it, he wondered, isn't the crab roe lion head your favorite, why has it become your least favorite now.
Li Mobai had already found out He Zhiqiu's interests and hobbies from the old man, and knew that He Zhiqiu was deliberately pretending to be garlic, and he said in his heart that I still have to fool you over, but I can't be in a hurry, this matter needs to be done slowly, anyway, Jianye is a good place, since you are here, you have to go around, there are many places to go to Zhongshan Mausoleum, Yuhuatai, Yanziji, Mochou Lake, Confucius Temple, etc., Suo surname will live here for a few more days, "He Lao, I will be bothering you here these days, I heard that He Lao also likes to talk by hand, When you have time, you must ask He Lao for advice. ”
He Zhiqiu listened to Li Mobai change the topic, and said in his heart that the old man was notoriously difficult to deal with, and wanted to use Go to lure me to be a lobbyist for you, but how could I follow your way, "Hey, I'm old, Go is too brain-consuming, but now I like to watch young people play Go, if Mobai is interested, I will introduce you to a professional chess player to play with you." ”
Li Mobai said in his heart when he heard this, doesn't this old man like to eat lion's head and play Go, why don't you take the bait, it seems that Bai Xianyong is indeed a little quirky, but take your time, there will always be a time to take the bait, "Okay, Mobai hasn't met a good opponent for a long time, it would be very good if he could learn from each other!" ”
"Cheng, this thing is easy to do, I heard Lao Li say that Mobai's chess skills are extraordinary, just to see it." He Zhiqiu said happily.
"Old He, Mo Bai is going to find a time to visit the Confucius Temple, and by the way, are there any rules that must be paid attention to?" Li Mobai said with some flattery.
"There are no special rules, with your eyesight, no one in the Confucius Temple can fool you, if you want to Taobao, you can go around, let He Ping accompany you!" He Zhiqiu said in his heart, don't be close to me, anyway, I won't be fooled by you to go to Yangzhou, you kid wants to find Bai Laowei, I won't get involved with you, you better ask for more blessings.
After eating, He Zhiqiu went to take a lunch break, and Li Mobai was also going to go to Jianye Museum to have a look.
As the same famous Jianye Museum as the Qincheng Museum, Li Mobai has never been here once, because the old man despises the dean of a certain former soldier who covers the sky with one hand.
Jianye Museum is the first national large-scale comprehensive museum built by the state, located in the south foot of the Purple Mountain in Jianye City, the north side of Zhongshan Gate, covering an area of more than 70,000 square meters, the construction area of the historical exhibition hall and the art exhibition hall is 35,000 square meters, all of which are imitation Liao palace-style buildings, yellow tiles and red columns, majestic and magnificent.
The courtyard is verdant with vegetation and various stone carvings and cultural relics, and the cultural landscape and the natural landscape are contrasting with each other.
Under the leadership of He Ping to this famous museum, Li Mobai did not have the mustard of the old man, he was very happy to watch, slowly and leisurely admiring the Yongzheng and Qianlong official kilns of the Doucai eight auspicious pattern plates, purple ground enamel peony pattern bowls, blue glaze gold pastel Kaiguang Zhuanxin bottle and other exquisite porcelain, Bao Shichen, Wu Changshuo, Wu Dashi, Ai Qimeng and other people's calligraphy and paintings, pottery in the Dawenkou culture period, bronzes in the Wu Yue period, and the famous cloud brocade, Li Mobai felt that this trip to Jianye was worth it even if he could not invite Bai Xianyong.
It's just that due to the time, I can only take a look at it, because the time to close the museum has arrived unconsciously. Walking out of the museum, Li Mobai said in his heart that when my future museum is completed, I want to shock everyone, but there are still too few treasures.
"Brother Li, Yanran heard that there were guests at home, and said that she specially held a banquet to welcome her in the VIP building of Confucius Temple!" He Ping said with some embarrassment.
Li Mobai was immersed in his own utopia, and was stunned when he heard this, "Who is Yanran?" ”
"I am Yanran, you are Li Mobai?" Before He Ping could speak, a somewhat aggressive voice came into Li Mobai's eardrums.
Hearing this, he looked up, and Li Mobai said in his heart that the old man was really not wrong, He Zhiqiu's family really had a beautiful baby granddaughter.
