Chapter 325, Li Lao Comes to the Door (Monthly Pass 300 Plus)

The March monthly pass is 300 plus more

*******

Coming out of Kang's private restaurant, Jin Zhu received a text message from Kang Xin, saying that today's events exceeded her expectations and was not her intention.

Jin Zhu sighed, it seemed that Kang Xin had also noticed her brother's abnormality.

It's just that Jin Zhu doesn't understand that this Kang Xuexi has always been above the top, how could he suddenly favor her?

In terms of background, she is much worse than Tang Ziyan, in terms of talent, Jin Zhu's talent is not stronger than Tang Ziyan, in terms of appearance and temperament, this is not very easy to discuss, because green vegetables and radishes have their own love, Jin Zhu does not dare to jump to conclusions, what Jin Zhu can be sure of is that she is eight or nine years younger than Tang Ziyan, if young is an advantage.

But the problem is that Jin Zhu has a lot of troubles around her, and she has been named someone else's fiancΓ©e, and Kang Xuexi is emotionally quite clean, how can she be tempted by her?

After returning home, Jin Zhu pulled Li Xiang to sit down on the terrace, wanting to discuss why Kang Xuexi asked him to design the wedding room.

Li Xiang couldn't figure out what other intentions Kang Xuexi had, saying that the relationship between them was nothing more than a cooperative relationship between Party A and Party B, and the worst result was that Kang Xuexi was not satisfied with what Li Xiang designed, and he did a useless job, and Li Xiang could still bear this loss.

He thought about not taking this job, but the problem is that Kang Xuexi just moved the hukou of Jin Yang and the three of them into the imperial capital and helped the three of them find a school.

Jin Zhu saw that Li wanted to say so firmly, and he also put this matter aside for the time being.

The next day. Li Xiang went to Kang's family to see Kang Xuexi, and officially took over Kang Xuexi's wedding room design project, and Kang Xuexi's request was a three-entry quadrangle. There is a courtyard in front of the garden, the east and west across the courtyard and so on are complete, the whole house covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters, is a garden-style courtyard, large to the civil engineering and garden design of the whole house, small to the bookshelf design of a study, the entire civil engineering and decoration engineering design are handed over to Li Xiang. Or rather, Li Xiang's company.

The specifications of the entire courtyard house are equivalent to the configuration of the Qing Dynasty Yipin General in Li Xiang's words, and the house is not built near the second ring road, where every inch of land is valuable, but in a high-end residential area near Jinzhu's school.

Jin Zhu took a look at Kang Xuexi's wedding room requirements. became more and more convinced that he was a traveling companion, so when Li Xiang came to her with the draft to ask her opinion, she did not speak, but only suggested that Li Xiang go to the alleys of the imperial capital more often, and see more of the well-preserved Qing Dynasty courtyards.

Coincidentally, Liu Sheng is also having a headache for the decoration of the courtyard these days. So on Saturday and Sunday, Li Xiang took Jin Zhu, Liu Sheng, and Tian Fangzhou to the Forbidden City, Prince Gong's Mansion and other well-preserved palaces or bachelor's mansions for two days. When he came back, he began to design the renovation and decoration of the "Hometown Inn".

Because Li Xiang was very busy during this time, not only did he not have time to go to the studio of the Academy of Fine Arts, but even Professor Fang rarely contacted him, and he also refused two phone invitations from Li Lao.

Another Saturday, Li Xiang, Tian Fangzhou, and Liu Sheng went to Luoguxiang to watch the on-site construction of the inn, and Jin Zhu prepared lunch at home alone, because Aunt Tian had a fixed day off every Saturday, and Jin Yang went to make up for the class. Jin Liu went to Guqin lessons, and Jin Niu went to learn Go.

When busy. The doorbell rang at home, and from the cat's eyes, the visitors were actually Li Lao and a person who looked like a driver.

"Master, how could it be you?" Jin Zhu chuckled in his heart, the other party of such an age came to the door in person, it would definitely not be for no reason.

"Girl, there's no way, your shelf is bigger than me, if you don't come, I'll come, so I'll come to you." Li Lao made a joke, but there was not much smile on his face, and it was obvious that it was not all a joke.

"Where? I've been really busy lately.,Ah Xiang has taken on several design jobs.,The schoolwork in school hasn't ended.,Occasionally, I have to make an announcement or something.,It's really a lack of skills.。 Jin Zhu also explained a few words.

In fact, after guessing Li Lao's intention to show Jin Zhu and Li Xiang those two paintings, Jin Zhu did not have the previous respect for Li Lao, no matter what, the problem of breaking a girl's body in that era but not marrying her and leaving her alone in the countryside to face a big problem is not a gentleman's doing, no matter what reason he has.

"He's not at home?" Li Lao asked as he stepped through the door, and the driver-like man put down what he was holding and turned to leave.

"I'm going to Luoguxiang to see a renovation project." Jin Zhu told the truth.

Li Lao nodded when he heard this, he had long known that Li Xiang's main business was architectural design, and he had his own design company before he left school, which was also the reason why he looked down on Li Xiang.

Such a young man is not only talented, but also capable, and has high emotional intelligence, so whether it is his descendants of the Li family or not, he is worthy of his help, which is also one of the reasons why he came to the door today.

The second reason is to find a reason, of course he doesn't believe Jin Zhu's words, busy is just an excuse, as long as he wants to go, he can squeeze out this time at any time.

Besides, Li Xiang can barely be regarded as a rookie in the painting world now, with Li Lao's status as an elderly person in the painting world, not to mention him, even a famous figure like Professor Fang is also available with the legend, how dare he play a big name like Li Xiang?

So Li Lao recalled the situation when the two of them came to the door that day, and felt that Jin Zhu and Li Xiang should have found some answer, and he also came to find the answer today.

As soon as Li Lao entered the living room, he was first attracted by the large terraced painting on the wall, which was somewhat similar to the painting of rape fields he saw at Professor Fang's house.

"Girl, this is the terraced rice fields of your hometown?"

"No, our village has to cross two hills from this terrace, about five kilometers away."

Li Lao didn't speak after hearing this, stared at the painting for a long time before sitting down, and Jin Zhu hurriedly served tea.

Li Lao took a sip of the teacup, then looked at the layout of the living room, and nodded secretly, very elegant and warm.

"Where's your flower room?"

"On the terrace."

Hearing this, Li Lao got up and followed Jin Zhu to the terrace. Looking at the flower stands full of flower pots and foam boxes, a piece of flowers and green, at a glance, you can know that it has been taken care of.

"Not bad. Yes, it's a bit interesting, by the way, did the old lady of the Kang family send you flowers again? ”

Li Lao thought of Mrs. Kang's undisguised liking for Jin Zhu that day, although later because Jin Zhu deliberately said that her life was hard, Mrs. Kang was displeased, but he had no way of knowing what happened later.

The shrewd Li Lao judged from the situation that day that Mrs. Kang was interested in matchmaking for her grandson, but what he didn't understand was why the Kang family liked a rural girl. And it's also a rural girl with an object.

Because of Li Ruizhong's relationship, he also has a certain understanding of Kang Xuexi, this young man has never heard the arrangements of his elders when he was growing up. has always done his own thing, and it can be said unceremoniously that Li Ruizhong's rebellion was learned from him, so that the Li family had to give up Li Ruizhong later. Li Ruizhao was chosen to cultivate.

So Li Lao guessed that Kang Xuexi should have fallen in love with Jin Zhu first. The Kang family had to compromise and show favor to Jinzhu, but the Kang family had a bottom line no matter how much they compromised, so when the old lady heard that Jinzhu was also a hard fortune, even if her face changed.

"Nope." Jin Zhu smiled slightly.

"There is no best, I still have a few pots of good flowers, I will send you a few pots another day." Li Lao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, of course he hoped that Jin Zhu could marry Li Xiang, even if Li Xiang was not the descendant of his Li family. But the two young people walked hand in hand all the way, and Li Lao also hoped that a lover would eventually become a family.

"No need. These are enough, I'm usually busy, I'm afraid I can't take care of it, your flowers are famous, if you really want to raise it badly, it's a tyrannical thing, besides, it's said that there is no merit, we are afraid that you can't afford such a big favor. ”

Jin Zhu didn't know if the other party had guessed something, and wanted to test it.

"Nonsense, I am your master, and my master takes care of his apprentices, do you need any more reasons?"

"But we have nothing to honor our master." When Jin Zhu heard this reason, his heart cooled a little.

"Who's to say no? Shigong is still waiting for you to brew a few more cans of peach blossom wine next year to honor Shigong. Girl, sometimes the fate between people doesn't need too many reasons, if you get along, you get together more, and if you don't get along, it's rare, it's not a big deal. After speaking, Li Lao patted Jin Zhu's head, and then pointed to the stairs leading to the attic, "What is on this?" ”

"This is an attic, a studio and bedroom for Ah Xiang."

"Studio? Can I go up and have a look? ”

Jin Zhu looked at the somewhat narrow spiral staircase, and then at Li Lao's silver hair, "Master, are you sure you can go up?" ”

"Girl, don't you underestimate people? I have followed my master to climb the mountain to dig herbs since I was a child, and I have never seen any difficult mountain paths, and this staircase can still stump me? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Jin Zhu to nod, Li Lao leaned on the railing and went up, Jin Zhu was about to follow, when she suddenly heard something squirting out of the kitchen, and she remembered the soup she stewed.

"Master, there is soup overflowing in the kitchen, please take care of yourself." Jin Zhu ran to the kitchen before he could speak.

When Jin Zhu cleaned up the kitchen and climbed up to the attic, Li Lao was standing in front of the easel and watching.

The works on the easel are recently painted by the two of them, Jin Zhu is tired of writing books or when Li Xiang design encounters a bottleneck, he likes to pull Jin Zhu to draw two strokes, sometimes he follows Jin Zhu to learn ink painting, more often he pulls Jin Zhu to teach Jin Zhu to paint watercolor paintings, to put it bluntly, he just likes to hold Jin Zhu hand in hand to teach her the feeling of holding a pen, and likes to enjoy the sweetness of grinding his ears and temples.

This painting is a house, a small two-story building, there is also a courtyard outside, the courtyard is full of flowers, this is the home in Li Xiang and Jin Zhu's minds, the house is not the point, the point is that two adults with two children are chasing in the garden, the eyebrows and eyes of the two adults are very similar to Li Xiang and Jin Zhu, and they are also similar.

This is Li Xiang's dream family life, so he drew it with the hand holding the gold bead.

Therefore, Jin Zhu was a little embarrassed when he saw Li Lao standing in front of the easel, and said with a smile: "This is the graffiti I just learned, and the one that Ah Xiang painted is hanging on the wall, and there are many of his works in the painting jar." ”

She never expected that there would be outsiders visiting, and Jin Yang and Jin Liu generally don't go to the attic, they all know that the attic is Li Xiang's studio and bedroom, and Jin Zhu takes care of it himself, and there is no need for the two of them to move forward.

"Girl, when are you two going to get married?" Li Lao looked at the painting and did not move, and the simple happiness in the painting infected him.

"Next year, when I reach the age to get the certificate, the wedding will be held when I graduate."

"Okay, then the master will give you a big gift."

Jin Zhu smiled when he heard this, but did not answer.

Li Lao didn't emphasize anything anymore, turned around and stood in front of those paintings, Jin Zhu saw him looking at them one by one, and he couldn't leave on his own, so he had to stand beside him and listen to his comments on each painting.

"By the way, are you busy in the kitchen? You're busy, I'll take a look at these paintings, and I'll go down in a while. ”

"It's okay, I just want to hear your review." Where is Jin Zhu embarrassed to really leave the old man upstairs.

"By the way, when it comes to cooking, I just remembered that what I just asked the driver to bring was a box of authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, which are still alive, you can see if you go to deal with it first, and it will be steamed and eaten at noon." Elder Li smiled apologetically, blaming himself for his bad brain.

Jin Zhu had to go downstairs and move the foam box to the kitchen, where there were more than a dozen crabs alive one by one, but the problem was that Jin Zhu hadn't eaten this thing, so she wouldn't get it.

I wanted to go upstairs and ask Li Lao how to clean up, but it happened that at this time, Li Xiang's call came, and Li Xiang came to tell Jinzhu that she didn't have to cook at noon, and he came to pick her up and go out to eat.

There are many people in the family, and the nanny is not there, Li Xiang doesn't want Jinzhu to be too tired, and at the same time he is afraid that Jinzhu's hand will be injured again, last time Jinzhu's hand was burned, Li Xiang was distressed for several days, and he didn't even let her wash her clothes.

Knowing that Elder Li came to the door and sent a box of hairy crabs, Li Xiang decided to go home, not because he wanted to recognize the old man, but because he was afraid that Jin Zhu would not be able to cope with it.

When Li Lao went downstairs, Jin Zhu was playing with the two crabs in the sink with chopsticks, and she had already used scissors to cut the ropes on the claws of the two crabs, wanting to see how the two crabs crawled.

She had never seen a crab in her previous life, and she had only seen it once at the dinner table in this life, so she couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Girl, what's wrong? What to play? Li Lao saw Jin Zhu playing with two crabs with chopsticks, and asked casually.

"It's nothing, I just want to see how they walk, and I'm going to draw a picture of a crab later."

Li Laoyi was interested when he heard it, "Girl, let's draw a picture of a crab in a competition, how about it?" ”

Jin Zhu was also interested when he heard this, and cut a few more crabs with scissors and put them into the basin together, and then went upstairs again with Li Lao with the basin. (To be continued.) )
