Zhu Jingyuan said with a smile: "This time I really didn't do it for my own business, Professor Zhu mentioned to me several times last time he saw you from the banquet, so that I would use it no matter what, I invited you to his house as a guest." ”

Guo Wenguang's students are spread across many fields, and as early as four years ago, he was named one of the top ten outstanding people in Lingjiang City, and his speech is very influential, and there is an endless stream of visitors, but he is old and likes to be quiet, so he rejects most of them.

If the comments on paintings and calligraphy alone are not enough for him to appreciate Tang Yulan so much, the most important thing is that he has a fierce momentum, such as ancient pines in high mountains, lonely plums in cold winters, and no one in ten thousand in character.

"Oh." Tang Yulan thought about it, Zhu Jingyuan and Guo Wenguang are both upper-class people, with extensive connections, and there is no harm in making more friends.

When passing by the vegetable market, Tang Yulan asked to get out of the car, walked around in front of several stalls, and bought a few catties of pork.

Zhu Jingyuan's eyes widened, and he pointed to the bloody flesh incredulously and asked, "What do you want this thing for?" ”

This time, he asked Li Ke to drive a business car worth more than one million, with spacious interior space, delicate and comfortable leather seats, and he didn't care much about being dropped on the leather chair by a few drops of pig blood, but he was a little slightly clean, and subconsciously distanced himself from Tang Yulan.

Tang Yulan smiled and lifted the pork, shook it in front of Zhu Jingyuan's eyes, and said, "Of course, you have to bring some gifts to show respect." Based on my experience, this piece of meat is absolutely fresh, the meat is delicate, and there is no water injection, so the taste is much better. ”

"Well, whatever you want. Hurry up and get out of the way, I'm allergic to blood! Zhu Jingyuan frowned helplessly. He had already prepared a gift in the car, which were two boxes of "kidney silver".

Kidney silver strengthens the waist and bones, is the gospel of middle-aged and elderly men, there are a variety of expensive drugs such as epimedium, bullwhip, ginseng, etc., the market value of a box is as high as 6,888.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, 231 Fengzhu Community, Yunhua Road.

This is the place where the upper class lives, no less than Qi Caiyang's residence, the environment is elegant, the rockery, the small river is murmuring, just in June, the garden is less colorful flowers have already bloomed, the fragrance is pleasant. Small trees, green grass and other crops are scattered under the hands of gardeners, and they are in different shapes.

Professor Guo's family lives in Building 2 in District 3, a three-storey baroque villa.

In the front is a turquoise pool and courtyard, and in the back is a garden. It is surrounded by red walls. There are also pebbles in the garden, and swings hanging under a leaf banyan tree.

Tang Yulan was wearing a floral shirt and jeans, and a pair of net-like sneakers underneath, which were particularly easy to retain dirt and dirt, and they had changed color after not washing them for a few days.

In the high-end community, Tang Yulan carried the pork tied with a rope and had a feeling of "eating a light meal".

Zhu Jingyuan felt weird, it was originally a more formal and elegant visit, but Tang Yulan was very out of tune, and secretly said that he really couldn't guess with common sense.

"Mr. Tang, Mr. Zhu, you are finally here. Ha Lu Ha, please come in. Guo Wenguang was dressed in a gray Tang costume and gold-rimmed glasses, giving people a strong image of a Chinese chemist.

Gentle and elegant, calm and calm, kind and friendly!

Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but think of the above words, Guo Wenguang is indeed worthy of respect.

However, seeing Tang Yulan's pork, a few drops of blood rolled down from the meat from time to time, and now that the weather is hot, there are a few flies flying around, driven away by Tang Yulan, Guo Wenguang's eyes widened, and he smiled bitterly: "It's too polite, what are you doing with these?" ”

Tang Yulan said: "It's always good to come empty-handed as a guest, talk about it." ”

Guo Wenguang felt that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly took the pork from Tang Yulan's hand, and said with a smile: "Ha Luha, Mr. Tang is polite." Please come in, let's go into the house and say. ”

Zhu Dashao carried the kidney silver from behind. A few people walked through the cobblestone path, their noses filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, and walked into the villa.

The antique and antique furniture in the villa, all the furniture of the Ming Dynasty, the entrance is made of high-grade rosewood, and some antiques are placed on it as decoration, and there is a half-height vase unearthed in Jingdezhen next to it.

"Looking at the color and pattern, it should be from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty."

Guo Wenguang said with a smile: "Mr. Tang has good eyesight." Come on in. He handed the meat to the nanny and walked into the hall with Tang Yulan.

Tang Yulan looked around and found that there were many famous calligraphy and paintings mounted on the walls, including works by painters of the Song and Ming dynasties, which were of astonishing value if not fakes.

After a few people sat down, Tang Yulan stroked the seat with both hands, this is a good red sandalwood, tattooed with mountains and old pines, and the armrests have been rubbed very brightly, and the color is a little black under the erosion of sweat.

In front is a long table with a cloud pattern and two teacups on the table.

Guo Wenguang said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that I also have a foreign friend who is touring China, and he will come to me as a guest today when he is free." ”

"It's Suhabat." Zhu Jingyuan said immediately, and after he sat down, the fingers of his right hand kept tapping on the table, looking a little excited.

"Well, that's him, he's a very good pianist right now." Guo Wenguang introduced: "I became famous at the age of seventeen, and composed many famous piano pieces such as "Exotic Love", "Wild Night", and "Rhapsody on a Moonlit Night". ”

"Uh-huh." Zhu Jingyuan agreed, turned his head and said, "Brother Tang, you still don't know that Master Su Habert has taken a fancy to Qingmeng's piano skills, she may also be here, so I will ask you today." ”

Guo Wenguang took out a box of tea leaves from the corridor and room, carefully opened the wrapped multi-layer bright yellow rice paper, pinched a small table of tea leaves and filtered them with water, and then soaked them in a purple clay pot with great care.

"Zhu Dashao, Xiao Tang, how about you try this tea? It's a good thing that my students brought from their hometown......"

Tang Yulan sniffed it lightly and said, "The aroma is refreshing, it should be the top grade of the fragrant Da Hong Pao." ”

Guo Wenguang exclaimed: "Amazing, you can see when you smell it, Mr. Tang is really a person in the tea ceremony!" He took a sip, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the tip of his tongue rolled the tea and sent it to the depths.

"This should be the top-grade Da Hong Pao picked from the cliffs of Yunshan Mountain, the characteristics of Da Hong Pao, the aroma is rich and orchid-like, the fragrance is high and long-lasting. The best Da Hong Pao, the entrance of the tea is extremely sweet, smooth and fresh, the tea texture is viscous, and the aftertaste is endless! ”

Zhu Jingyuan doesn't like to drink tea so much, and after hearing Tang Yulan's evaluation, he also picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully, and it was really as he said.

Guo Wenguang said: "Xiao Tang, after drinking tea, accompany me to read some calligraphy and paintings, and I will give you half of the tea when I go back." ”

Tang Yulan shook his head, he tasted this kind of tea is very authentic, it is priceless, and it can only be used when the country is close to foreign guests, which is very rare.

As he spoke, a man and a woman came down the stairs.

In front is a foreigner in his forties, with a wide forehead, deep-set eye sockets, a high nose, and a beard. He is very tall, 1.8 meters tall.

The person in the back was wearing a cyan long skirt, the lotus step moved lightly, the waist was not enough to hold it, and there was a trace of aura in his eyes, which was the green dream that made Zhu Jingyuan think about it.

After Su Habert came down, he greeted Guo Wenguang, and then sat on the sofa and tasted tea by himself, while Qingmengdai's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she was a little resistant when she saw Tang Yulan and Zhu Jingyuan.

Guo Wenguang introduced: "Mr. Burt, this is Tang Yulan, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The other is Zhu Dashao, a son of a wealthy local family. ”

"Hmph, it's him again!" Qingmeng looked at Tang Yulan with disgust, he was kind enough to talk to Tang Yulan at the first banquet, who would have thought that he would insult himself with the story of a waitress dorf, improvised in the hotel for the second time, and insulted himself when he left.

Suhubott observed Qingmeng's smoke on Tang Yulan, shook hands with him politely, took out a white hand towel from his pocket after retracting his hand, wiped his right hand seriously and withdrew it into his pocket, and then shook hands with Zhu Jingyuan, but this time he did not wipe his hands with a hand towel.

This is simply disdain and contempt for Tang Yulan.

Qing Meng had a happy expression on his face.

It's no wonder that Tang Yulan is wearing a relatively shabby dress, sitting in an improper posture, and looks like a gangster, while Suhubbert has been highly educated since he was a child, so he naturally disdains to be in the company of people like Tang Yulan.

Guo Wenguang and Zhu Jingyuan's faces changed slightly, and when he introduced people, he put Tang Yulan in front, which shows the importance he attaches to Tang Yulan.

Tang Yulan didn't carry a hand towel with him, kicked his hand in his pocket and tore off the trouser pocket cloth with a little force, and then carefully wiped his hands and threw the rags into the garbage basket.

Su Habert's face turned blue when he saw it, his hand towel was still left, Tang Yulan actually threw it directly, it was too insulting to him, and he snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Guo Wenguang saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he stood up and said: "Mr. Burt has always admired Chinese culture very much, and this time he also studied Chinese opera and the ten famous songs of ancient times with me. ”

Suhubbert said: "Professor Guo is a Chinese I admire very much, and of course this is also a very remarkable country, its ancient culture is so profound and subtle that it cannot be studied in a lifetime." It's just that you Chinese are too complicated. A sentence made the faces of the people around him lose their brilliance.

Suhubbert said solemnly: "What I said is true, on the morning of the first arrival, a six- or seven-year-old child was shivering outside with cold, and no one lent him clothes. The beggars either couldn't get money, or they chased people for money, and the old lady on the side of the road fell down and couldn't help them. What's even more infuriating is that in a country with an ancient civilization and a country of etiquette, there is extortion and protection money everywhere! ”

These questions are very sharp, but they are very correct.

Qingmeng lowered her head, these things made her feel a little inferior and ashamed, like a little girl who had done something wrong.

Tang Yulan laughed secretly, he was also collecting protection money, and his attitude towards foreigners was even harsher. However, he wanted to target those ugly foreigners who cheated to eat and drink, and he was not annoyed by Suhubott's harsh words, and smiled: "The noble and the ugly coexist in any nation, and the foreign vagabonds are no less than the Chinese beggars, and the crime rate remains high, and there are even more promiscuous, selfish, and despicable people. Just by looking at the high divorce rate of more than 50 percent, you can see how self-conscious they are. ”
