March monthly pass 200 plus more
********
Jin Zhu's expression fell into Kang Xin's eyes, and she knew that Jin Zhu was suspicious.
Originally, she made an appointment with her grandmother, and after she and Jinzhu went shopping, she took Jinzhu over for a meal, pretending to meet by chance.
But she didn't expect the old lady to bring Grandpa Li here, not only Grandpa Li, but also her brother, Li Ruizhong, and Li Ruizhao, now Jinzhu must hate her to death.
"Jin Zhu, today's incident really has nothing to do with me, I'll explain it to you another day." Kang Xin whispered to Jin Zhu.
Jin Zhu raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, not believing it, nor saying that she didn't believe it.
Kang Xin smiled and stepped forward to support Mrs. Kang, "Grandma, why did you come with Grandpa Li's family today?" ”
"When I was about to go out, your grandfather Li and Xiaozhao also came out, saying that they were going to see some art exhibition, so I followed them to join in the fun. Mrs. Kang explained with a smile.
Kang Xin blinked at Jinzhu when she heard this, meaning that this matter really had nothing to do with her.
"Girl, what are those flowers?" Seeing that Jinzhu didn't speak, the old lady asked her specially.
"It's not bad, except for one gentleman's orchid that didn't live, everything else lived."
"Junzilan, I'll ask Xinxin to send you another pot another day, I have a few good pots of good ones." The old lady said with a smile on her face.
"Don't bother, that's enough." Jin Zhu was busy refusing to excuse himself.
Mrs. Kang's actions not only scared Jin Zhu, but also scared Li Ruizhong and Li Ruizhao. This old lady has always been so precious to her flowers, especially those pots of Junzi orchids, which are worth at least six figures. There are even seven-figure ones, how can this not blink and say that it is going to give it to Jinzhu?
Li Ruizhong glanced at Kang Xuexi, who had no expression.
"Don't bother, let me tell you, I'm a good seedling who is a serious seedling, and I don't give him to ordinary people." Mrs. Kang said as she took Jin Zhu's hand and touched it, and then took a closer look at Jin Zhu's face.
"Girl. You just have fun, every time I go to ask for a pot of flowers, your grandmother Kang wants me to take a painting to change. Elder Li mentioned the golden beads on the side.
Although he didn't quite understand why this old lady Kang was so enthusiastic about Jin Zhu. But he understands one truth, there is no free dinner in the world, especially a family like theirs, and they will not easily show favor to others.
Don't say anything about others. Just say himself. If it weren't for the strangeness that Li Xiang and Jin Zhu saw when they met that day, and if it weren't for the inexplicable intimacy he had for Li Xiang, he wouldn't have approached these two.
Of course, it is undeniable that the life experiences of these two people have given him some pity and empathy, but if it is just like this, he may support these two people in the form of funding or donations, rather than choosing to be close to them.
"As soon as Li Lao said this, I didn't dare to ask for it, and they all said that it was useless. I have deviated from Grandma Kang so many good things, and I have to know how to be a person. Jin Zhu smiled faintly.
How can the starting price of Li Lao's paintings be above 100,000. This old lady exchanged a painting for a pot of flowers, presumably this flower is by no means ordinary, where does she want it?
"Okay, let's talk about what you don't spend later, Grandma Kang, let's think about what to eat for a while, you and my grandfather will have a hard time coming out, if you don't eat well, it will be Xixi's sin." Li Ruizhong stepped forward and helped the old man up the steps and crossed the threshold.
"It's all this age, we can't eat anymore, let's see what you young people like to eat, there is a little guest today, Jinzhu, what do you like to eat?" The old lady looked at Jin Zhu again.
No matter how stupid Jin Zhu was, she sensed that the old lady had an unusual concern for her, and it was definitely not as simple as Kang Xin's classmates.
Could it be that the old lady knew that she had saved Kangxin? Become a lifesaver for your granddaughter?
Or is it because of Kang Xuexi?
But doesn't everyone know that she has a fiancé?
Jin Zhu hesitated slightly, and then fell two steps behind, and at this time, everyone entered the house.
It was still in the room where Kang Xuexi invited Jin Zhu and Li Xiang to eat last time, when she sat down, Jin Zhu was quite embarrassed, she originally wanted to pick a place next to Kang Xin, but Kang Xin sat on the left hand side of the old lady, and coincidentally stood on her left hand side Li Ruizhong, Li Ruizhong sat on the other side of Li Ruizhong, Jin Zhu can't go to grab a seat with Li Ruizhong, right?
When he was struggling, Li Lao called Jin Zhu over and let Jin Zhu sit on his left hand side, fortunately, Li Ruizhao was on the other side of Jin Zhu, and Kang Xuexi sat on the right hand side of Mrs. Kang, and there was a vacant seat between Li Ruizhao and Li Ruizhao.
"Yang Jinzhu, today we went to the National Art Museum to see the art exhibition, this art exhibition is very good, they are all the works of masters, you and Li Xiang have a chance to go and see it together." Li Ruizhao sat next to Jin Zhu and couldn't help but speak, so he found a topic.
"Really? Then there must be a work by Li Lao, right? Jin Zhu asked.
"Girl, what are my works, this exhibition is all serious and good things that you don't usually see, there are authentic works of Tang Bohu, Dong Qichang, Zhao Mengfu, Qiu Ying and others, and modern ones also have works by masters such as Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, etc., you and I can't be ranked. But speaking of which, girl, you really should go and see it with Ah Xiang. ”
"Okay, let's go together when he comes back."
"By the way, when he comes back, you can come to my house, which can be regarded as an official recognition, and walk around more in the future." Li Lao said.
He has heard Kang Xin say that Li wants to enter the entertainment industry for money, he has to support five people by himself, he wants to buy a house, and he wants to study for this big family, this pressure is not ordinary, Jinzhu is still small, he is just a freshman, who will earn if Li wants to make money?
It's also a good opportunity to catch up, Director Zhang just bought Jin Zhu's work and asked Li Xiang to audition, who knew that it was just right to make Li Xiang popular overnight, but even so, Li Xiang didn't want to be in the entertainment industry all the time, he just wanted to earn some money enough to settle these people and then go abroad to study.
Kang Xin naturally won't tell the truth to Li Lao, such an explanation is good for everyone. Li Lao can also accept it, so he officially recognized this apprentice.
Of course, Li Lao will not admit it. He felt that the eccentricity of these two people seemed to have something to do with him, and after thinking about it these days, he decided to contact these two children again.
"Jin Zhu, your name is Jin Zhu, this name is so good, like gold like a pearl, I heard my family Xinxin say. You've known each other for years, and you've helped her, so you're pretty lucky. A few years later, not only did you become a college classmate, but you also became a roommate in a dormitory, Jin Zhu, since you have become friends with my family Xinxin. In the future, I'll move around more. My house is next door to your master's house. "Mrs. Kang saw that Li Lao recognized Jin Zhu's apprentice grandson, and was willing to let Jin Zhu come to the door, what did she hesitate about?
"Okay, I'll definitely visit Grandma Kang when I have the chance." Jin Zhu smiled and agreed.
It's not a formal yes, it's just a courtesy.
"Like gold, girl, who gave your name?" Li Lao also asked with a smile.
"This may have been taken by my parents. I don't know the specifics. Jin Zhu really didn't ask who took the names of several of them.
"Who took Li Xiang's name? Sounds like a bit of a history? By the way, I kept forgetting to ask. What did his parents do when they were alive? Li Lao asked.
"Well, I don't know what his father did, her mother was a farmer, and after graduating from high school, she didn't get admitted to college and helped her relatives open an inn at home, and later, she died of illness." Jin Zhu thought for a moment and said half the truth.
After all, it is not a glorious thing for a girl to become pregnant unmarried and then commit suicide by jumping into the river, if it weren't for testing the Li family, Jin Zhu would not have spoken.
Also, for some reason, Jin Zhu vaguely felt that Li Lao's attitude was a little suspicious, and it seemed that he was also testing her something, and asking her who took her name earlier was just an introduction, and the real purpose was to inquire about Li Xiang's affairs, right?
"Not clear? Haven't you seen his father? Li Lao heard the meaning of Jin Zhu's words, and still wanted to confirm it.
"Nope." Jin Zhu shook his head.
Li Lao didn't ask anymore when he heard this, there were so many outsiders, he didn't think Jin Zhu would say anything.
In fact, Li Lao didn't ask, and the people present roughly guessed that Li Xiang was very likely to be an illegitimate child, he didn't know what his father did, and he hadn't seen his father, and his mother still ran an inn, and there was too much hidden information in it.
"How old is Li Xiang's mother?" Li Ruizhong asked.
To be honest, he still has a little admiration for Li Xiang in his heart, a child from the mountains can not only be admitted to Q University, but also a top student in the college entrance examination; Relying on self-study and practice, the level of painting is actually a few points better than that of ordinary majors; In his junior year, he participated in the International Architectural Design Award for the first time and was nominated for it; The first time he made a movie, he was able to come back with an actor, not to mention the awards he has won over the years, how much perseverance does it take to learn these things?
You must know that he is an orphan, an orphan without a father and a mother, and the hardships and pains of these years are probably only known to him, maybe it is the girl named Yang Jinzhu in front of him, otherwise, how could Li Xiang announce to the world that he has a fiancée at the awards ceremony of the GN Film Festival?
By the way, he seems to have heard Kang Xin say that if it weren't for the sudden death of Jin Zhu's father, the two should have held a wedding, no wonder the relationship between the two would be so good, it turned out to be sympathy and sympathy for each other.
But the problem is that he, Li Ruizhong, is also a child without a mother!
"I don't have an impression of the specifics, I don't remember anything at that time, it should have been when Ah Xiang was four or five years old." Jin Zhu replied.
"And who did he grow up with?" Li Ruizhao asked.
For some reason, after listening to Li Xiang's life experience, his heart suddenly became inexplicably sour.
"He grew up with his grandmother."
"By the way, I remembered, his grandmother seems to have been in our freshman year of high school, my eldest brother and second brother and I went to Qiandong City to look for you, you went to Hangzhou, and said that Ah Xiang's grandmother was sick, that was it?" Kang Xin also heard Li Xiang's life experience for the first time, and seemed to understand a little bit why Li Xiang was so good to Jinzhu, it turned out that the two had really gone through hardships together.
Mrs. Kang listened for a long time, and knew that Li Xiang was Jinzhu's boyfriend, and also knew that Li Xiang was an orphan without a father or mother, and the only grandmother who raised him died early.
"This child's life is too bitter, in the old saying, it seems to be a bit hard, and a close person around him can't keep it." Mrs. Kang sighed with emotion.
Jin Zhu was a little disgusted when she heard this, but because of the other party's age and identity, she couldn't turn her face, thought about it, and said with a smile: "No, there is an old man over there who has seen Ah Xiang's birthday, saying that he is young and unhappy, but after going through this period, it is a smooth road, and he is a blessed one." ”
Old Mrs. Kang looked at Jin Zhu in surprise when she heard this, opened her mouth, and suddenly smiled, "Girl, good, good, good." ”
Jin Zhu also smiled back at the old lady and didn't say anything.
But this smile was a little dazzling when it fell in Kang Xuexi's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
However, Kang Xin was interested in listening to Jin Zhu's words, and hurriedly asked, "What about you?" What about you, Jin Zhu, what did the clan elder say when he saw your birthday? Are you two a perfect match? ”
"Me? I'm also hard-hitting, and I can't get the love of my parents, so I'm young, right? But I'm a little better than him, I have three younger siblings, and I have made up for some of the shortcomings of family affection. ”
"You're also a fatherless child?" These words came out of the mouths of Mrs. Kang and Old Li at the same time, and both of them were obviously very surprised.
"It's not like I don't have a father or a mother, my parents divorced when I was eight years old, and then they started a new family, and my father passed away in an accident last year." Extra words, Jin Zhu doesn't want to say.
And the reason why she was willing to say that she was young and unhappy was because she was stimulated by Mrs. Kang's words, she said that Li Xiangli couldn't keep her relatives, and this was not said casually, but specially said to Jin Zhu.
The meaning of the words Jin Zhu naturally figured out, and it is estimated that it may be related to Kang Xuexi's recent inexplicable concern and overtures.
But what Jinzhu didn't understand was, how could the Kang family take a fancy to him?
She is a little girl from the countryside, not to mention the powerless, but also a woman who has been crowned as someone else's fiancée, is this possible?
What kind of family is the Kang family, and what is the identity?
No matter how the times change, Jin Zhu feels that some things in his bones will not change, such as being the right person.
Sure enough, as soon as Jin Zhu's words came out, Mrs. Kang's face immediately changed color, she didn't think that Jin Zhu was born in the countryside, but she really didn't like the kind of children who grew up in abnormal families, and always felt that this kind of child would have flaws in his character.
Also, older people always have a little superstitious thoughts, thinking that such a child is hard-fated, and she can't say it, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't think so in her heart.
There was a moment of silence in the room. (To be continued.) )
