Cui Lao's study is very luxurious, and there are many books, including many directions, ancient books, religion, science and technology, economy, and management. These are all things that he has accumulated little by little over the decades of work.

Now you can't be an official without culture, especially the mayor of a city, who manages the economy, culture, and urban construction of the whole city, if you don't understand, the superiors won't let you stand alone.

Most of the more than 1,000 books in the study have been read by Cui Lao, at least turned over.

"Well, these books in my collection are okay!" This can be Cui Lao's proud work, don't look at the big bosses outside who have tens of thousands of books in their offices and study rooms, but they are just for show, and there are few books that can really be turned over.

"Well, it's very good, more than I have in my collection!" Zhao Li nodded with a smile.

He has only collected a few hundred books, and since college, it has cost a lot to collect these books, and he was not very financially good before, and most of them were used books.

"Haha," Listening to Zhao Li's words, Cui Lao was very happy, and he was even happier to be praised by his superiors than he was to be praised by his superiors before.

"Come, Xiao Zhao, come and see how I write, I've been practicing calligraphy for more than 20 years!" Cui Lao took out a few volumes of words from the bookshelf and slowly opened them on the desk.

Zhao Li also took a closer look, "Serve the people!" A few big words, vigorously written on the white paper. Let his eyes shine, when talking about calligraphy is indeed better than himself, but not as good as himself in demeanor, this is also the mayor must have a famous teacher to guide, how can there be like himself alone.

"Well, the penmanship is strong! It seems that Cui Lao's calligraphy has entered the realm of masters.

"Haha, good eyesight," Cui Lao was very proud, master, there are no more than a hundred calligraphy masters in the country. And those people are professional. As if remembering the hardships he had endured for this hobby, he sighed.

"When I was young, I didn't have any other hobbies, I liked calligraphy, and I went to worship two masters, and I practiced hard for more than 20 years to reach today's level."

Zhao Li nodded from the bottom of his heart, success is never so simple, without great perseverance and courage, it is impossible to succeed casually. It's like I've been studying for eight years, and now I'm just seeing the door of cultivation.

"Come, Xiao Zhao, you also leave a calligraphy treasure with me!" Cui Lao is also a little curious about this. The sound of the other party's calligraphy made him fall to the ground, but he didn't know how the calligraphy was.

Zhao Li is also not polite, is it a communication, it is you coming and going, and besides, I finally found a master-level communication partner. Lifting the smile, the brain thought for a moment, and waved his hand on a piece of silk paper.

"Tranquility and far-reaching!" A few big words in one stroke. Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief and put down the brush, writing is not like reading, if you want to write a good character, you have to devote yourself to it, and Zhao Li has to put in the spirit of the whole word. It's very demental.

Cui Lao looked at this painting quietly, and his heart slowly calmed down, as if he had entered a kind of deep valley, and the natural tranquility surrounded him, so that he couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy it.

After a long time, a long time, Cui Lao came back to his senses and shouted,

"Good, good words,"

This is the word that has reached the realm of the grandmaster, although the font is still a little worse, but the whole font is full of charm, completely ignoring that point, the word of the grandmaster realm he has only seen a few in the Bo Dance Hall of the Forbidden City, all of which are hidden as a national treasure, and ordinary people are invisible.

Thinking of this, Cui Lao stared at Zhao Li in shock, such a young grandmaster, although he had long felt that the other party was so good at reading, and the words were definitely not bad, but he didn't expect it, he really didn't expect it.

Zhao Li was a little embarrassed, he thought that his writing was not good, he had never communicated with others, and he didn't know the situation in this line, so he touched his head with a smile.

"Elder Cui, the writing is not good, don't be surprised, because I am self-taught, and I practice casually after reading."

"You're still practicing casually, then I'm not living in vain!" Cui Lao rolled his eyes before he said seriously: "Although the calligraphy is still a little close, it can be said that he has reached the realm of a grandmaster in terms of demeanor." The two slaps of the calligraphy master in Chinese history can also be counted. As far as I know, no one in the modern calligraphy world has reached the realm of a grandmaster. ”

Thinking of this, Cui Lao's eyes lit up when he looked at the word in front of him, the calligraphy of the grandmaster, how many people can collect it, although it is not famous now, but it will definitely be famous in the future.

"Xiao Zhao, how about transferring this character to me, I will pay 100,000!" Old man Cui originally wanted to contribute more money, but his whole family worked in the government and he didn't save much money. Although you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, you can't get rich at home.

Zhao Li shook his head when he heard it and said: "What Elder Cui said is not right, this painting was originally used by us for communication, and it will definitely be given to you if you write it, don't mention the money!" ”

This is the inner word, although he is short of money, but a gentleman loves money and has a way, not everything can be sold for money, and it is very simple to write a picture of himself. Besides, Cui Lao is not like those local tyrants who can knock on a stroke casually.

Cui Lao thought for a while in a little embarrassment, he was very reluctant to accept this character, but he felt bad when he accepted it like this, and finally saw Zhao Li's resolute expression, and knew that the other party would definitely not accept the money. Finally, I came up with an idea.

"Okay, then I'll take it, so I'll give you ten books, you can choose yourself, and I'll help you promote calligraphy and painting when I have the opportunity in the future,"

This is Cui Lao's idea, just help Xiao Zhao sell calligraphy and paintings in the future.

Zhao Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is a good idea, Cui Lao knows some rich people, which are much better than his own channels, and he still owes money for the house, although there is no need to worry, but there is always some idea in his heart. And I draw by myself, and it takes a little effort to write. Thinking of this, he saluted Cui Lao.

"Then thank you Elder Cui!"

"Oh, no,"

It was already noon when she left Cui's hometown, and in the tears of the little girl, Zhao Li ruthlessly hugged Xiaoxue and left, but also promised the little girl that she would take Xiaoxue to see her next Monday.

Holding the ten books given by Cui Lao, walking on the street, I wanted to go home immediately, but thinking of what I had just told Cui Lao about helping him sell calligraphy and paintings, I didn't have a better silk paper at home, so I went directly to the antique street.

Zhao Li has been to the antique street in Zhou City many times, and he has bought some old books and pen and ink here before. But they are all defective products, which are used for practice, and this time he is going to buy some high-grade silk paper ink. The brush also has to be replaced with a better one.

Ink Pavilion is a business specializing in the four treasures of the study room in the antique street, and Zhao Li spent several thousand to buy a pack of four treasures under the recommendation of the palm.

Paper was bought the most, with dozens of sheets. These papers are not ordinary expensive, the small ones are dozens, and the large ones are hundreds. However, if you want to have a high income, you have to invest first. I bought it ruthlessly.

Get off the car at the door of the green pine garden, carry things and walk towards your own house, the green pine garden is worthy of being called the green pine garden, the whole building is built like a garden, the green trees are in the shade, not you can see a pine tree. The house price of Qingpine Garden is the most expensive floor in Zhou City, but the environment is also the best.

"Teacher Zhao!" A call came from behind, Zhao Li suddenly felt that this voice was a little familiar, and when he turned around, he saw Zhou Xiaotong, the head of the Chinese class that had been taught, pulling a middle-aged man and woman behind him.

"Zhou Xiaotong! Is your home here too? Zhao Li was a little surprised.

"Yes, my house is in Building A 1502, Mr. Zhao, are you here too," Zhou Xiaotong pulled his parents and ran over. I didn't expect to go out for a walk and meet my own Chinese teacher. However, when his eyes saw the white fox in Mr. Zhao's arms, he looked motionless, and he was a little girl who attracted Xiaoxue.

Zhou Xiaotong's parents were a little embarrassed, Zhou Xiaotong's parents were about forty years old, and they still looked very young, it seems that Zhou Xiaotong inherited her mother's advantages, very beautiful. My father is very ordinary.

"Hello, you are Xiaotong's parents! I'm Zhao Li, her Chinese teacher, and I just moved in recently! Zhao Li smiled and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with the two of them.

"Teacher Zhao, hello, we are Xiaotong's parents Zhou Youcai and Huang Li," Zhou Youcai also laughed.

It was Zhou Xiaotong who made a mess on the side. His eyes rolled for a moment, and an idea came to mind,

"Dad, Mom, I'll let Teacher Zhao tutor me in English in the future, the college student you invited is not good at all!"

The little white fox is cute, and I want to hug it very much, and I can just let Mr. Zhao replace his zero-hour English teacher. I'm so smart.

"This!" Zhou Youcai was a little embarrassed when he heard it, can the Chinese teacher teach English, although it is very convenient to live in a garden in Zhou.

Zhao Li is also a little big, you can't speak English in front of your parents, so you won't be embarrassed by the teacher's face. I can only laugh and say: "That's it, what's the problem with Xiaotong to come to the teacher's house on the weekend, the teacher will answer you, even if the English teacher is not proficient, but the teacher's family still has three teachers living together,"

Zhao Li thought that the girl's English in college should be okay.

"Yes, yes!" Before his parents could agree, Zhou Xiaotong jumped up. In the end, Zhou's parents could only thank him, and the two parties did not mention any money.

Zhao Li left the address and walked home.
