Sent away the top hat guests, the antique shop has been piled up a group of people, is waiting for "Master Hu", because it is a "free identification", so the people have taken their own "treasures" to appreciate, although most of them are fakes, some are even tattered, but Hu bolt one by one identification, take it seriously. was busy, and suddenly Xiao Li came in from outside.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Li smiled and said to Hu Shu: "I saw the big sign of 'Famous Archaeologist' from the outside, and I felt curious, I don't know who it is, I didn't expect it to be you." ”

Hu Xuan was a little embarrassed and explained: "This is the ...... given by Boss Cai in the store" Xiao Li waved his hand, "I understand this, business, you have to be able to do it to make money, besides, our profession is this, so it's quite appropriate." By the way, have you been busy these days? You didn't talk to me either, I know you still have an opinion of me now, and think I'm spineless......"

Hu Xuan hurriedly interrupted him, "It's really not, I've been busy with my own business for the past two days, and in a day or two, I will definitely go." ”

At this time, some of the customers waiting next to him were anxious and urged, Xiao Li said: "This way, you are busy first, I will come back at noon, let's eat together." With that, he ran away.

At noon, Xiao Li really came, the two of them went out to find a tavern, went upstairs to find a quiet seat by the window, Xiao Li said: "Hu Xuan, these days, I always want to explain to you, but I don't know where to start, in fact, mixed up like now, it is not my heart's desire." ”

Hu Xuan hurriedly said: "These days, I have also experienced a lot of things, the previous pride has changed, and no one can explain the current situation. You can only take one step at a time. Are you coming to Hunan this time on business? ”

Xiao Li nodded, looked at the silence outside, and whispered: "It's business, but it's actually all fucking dirty things, I took the order from above, and came here to gang up for the election of the Congress, and to solicit bribes, alas, I was too lazy to mention it." ”

Hu Xuan was taken aback, but he didn't show it on his face, smiled and said: "Election, that's also a serious matter, it's not bad to be busy with the country's business." ”

"What," Xiao Li said angrily, "Net fucking plotters, hiding knives in their smiles, I see, sooner or later I will have to be planted in their hands." I thought that following the official family, as long as I did my duty and fulfilled my duties, who knew that it was not like that. Alas, you are now a businessman, and you don't understand it. He poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his neck and poured it down.

Looking at Xiao Li in front of him, and judging the two of them at school, Hu Xuan also felt a little emotional, and the resentment against him when he broke up in Tianjin also quietly dissipated, only feeling that the vicissitudes of the world and the creation of people make people, although he still can't agree with the path he took, but thinking about it carefully, some things are not actually to blame him.

In the evening, just after returning to the inn, Shi Suo couldn't wait to say, "This afternoon, I saw your classmate Xiao Li." ”

"I saw it too," said Hu, "and we drank together at noon." ”

Shi Suo's eyes widened and said, "Really? I said he was a little drunk, and he was drinking with you, but do you know who he was with in the afternoon? ”

"I heard him say that he was working with his boss to hold the congressional elections and bribing some local leaders. I've heard others talk about this, and it seems that the direct line and the Anhui family are quite lively. ”

Shi Suo said, "It's that Mr. Yu." ”

"What?" Hu Xuan had already sat down, and when he heard this, he stood up suddenly, "Mr. Yu? The bald man we saw? The new master of the Flying Mountain Monkey? ”

"How not?"

Hu Xuan remembered suddenly, the top hat guest in the morning, obviously said that the person sent here by the Anhui family this time was a person surnamed Yu, and he didn't care about it at the time, there were thousands of people with the surname Yu, how could he have thought that it was the bald old enemy? And when Xiao Li told himself about coming here to "bribe the election", he didn't ask him which boss he came with, who knew that things in the world were so coincidental.

He paced underground for a while, thinking about the situation, and Shi Suo asked, "That classmate of yours, do you know that we are the people surnamed Yu who want to be arrested?" ”

"It seems that I don't know, he has nothing to hide from me, he says everything, and vomits bitter water for a long time. However, since the surname Yu is his boss, our situation is quite dangerous, and even if Xiao Li does not betray us, he will not be able to meet him again. ”

The two of them discussed for a while, thinking that as long as they were careful now, they could still wait until the jade seal was carved and then make the next arrangements, Hu Xuan told Shi Suo about the top hat guest, and Shi Suo smiled: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Originally, I didn't plan to give him an appraisal, but now, I have changed my mind and will do this appraisal for him."

"Aren't you afraid of smashing your 'Master Hu' brand?"

Hu Shuan laughed, "Master Hu's brand will be smashed sooner or later, because the fake jade seal we are making is the largest Xibei goods under Master Hu's name." Even such a big fake dare to be made, let alone anything else. ”

Shi Suo suddenly slapped his thigh, "By the way, aren't you going to deal with the pursuit of Mr. Yu and the Flying Mountain Monkey when you get this fake jade seal?" Now that Mr. Yu is close at hand, can we just think of a way to send it to him to achieve our goal of getting out? ”

"That's exactly what I thought, but I have to think of a clever way to make him happy and satisfied to get the jade seal, and not come to us again."

After thinking about it, the two planned for half the night, and felt that they had no last resort, so they lay down to sleep. Early the next morning, Hu Xuan came to the store and said to Boss Cai: "I'm going to go out to do something in the afternoon, so I won't appraise the cultural relics for others." ”

"Okay then," Boss Cai said with some regret, "I'll talk about it when you come back." However, yesterday's jade monkey of that gentleman, I advise you to give him an appraisal, he is a person with a background, he is offended, and it will be difficult to do it in the future. ”

"Okay." Hu Shuo happily agreed.

Boss Cai thought it would take a lot of talking, but he didn't expect Hu Xuan to agree so quickly, and looked at him a little strangely, Hu Xuan smiled: "I also happen to have something to ask him." ”

"That's right, everyone can help each other to get rich."

After a while, the top hat guest came again, and the three of them entered the inner room, and Hu Shu said straight to the point: "I have thought about it, I promise you, but I also have something I want to ask you for help." ”

"Okay, please."

Hu Xuan said: "Boss Cai persuaded me, people go to high places, water flows to low places, everyone wants to enter the upper class, I can't avoid vulgarity, you are a person from the presidential palace, for us people, you are a big man, therefore, can you say a few good words for me, give me a name in the army, even if I don't pay money, I still do my antique business, but also let me improve my status, for the future business more ways." When he said this, Hu Shu felt awkward, and his face was feverish.

The guest smiled and said, "This is so easy to do, just leave it to me, and everyone from all walks of life who supports us is welcome." ”

Boss Cai also accosted beside him: "I think this is also a beautiful thing, let's call it the best of both worlds, Mr. Hu is finally no longer bound by pedantry." ”

At that moment, Hu Xuan signed the jade monkey and identified it as "Hetian jade monkey in the early five dynasties".

In the afternoon, the top hat guest informed Hu Xuan that what he had requested had been completed, and he also sent a military uniform, saying that the position temporarily given to Hu Xuan was "Civilian Senator of the Guard Battalion", which was only a name, should not be bad, and would not be paid.

Hu Shuan smiled all over his face, thanked the top hat repeatedly, and asked him to "take me to visit my boss one day", and the top hat happily agreed.

According to Shi Suo, Aiwan Pavilion is a place where "high-ranking people gather", and listening to people's conversations in that place, even a rough person like him who does not understand knowledge feels that the mouth is suddenly open, and if Hu Shuo goes, he must be reluctant to leave. Hu Xuan's heart was itchy, so he took out his time and immediately went to Qingfeng Gorge with Shi Suo.

Hurriedly walked to the Aiwan Pavilion, but there were only a few idle tourists, did not see the "master" that Shi Suo said, sat in the pavilion for a while, two old men came over, holding a few mimeographed newspapers in their hands, Hu Shuo asked Shi Suo: "These two people are?" ”

"It's not."

The two old men also sat in the pavilion, speaking in a local accent, and one of them pointed to the newspaper in his hand and said, "This article is so keen, why do you still say that it is a copy of the old cliché?" ”

Another said: "It is the usual routine of the literati to win applause with the so-called new viewpoint, and besides, the national conditions of Russia and China are very different, and they speculate in vain, but in fact they do not understand it, but they are only using the old ways of the past to talk about new things." ”

Hu Xuan listened attentively, walked over, stood behind the two old men, and read the newspaper, and sure enough, there was an article on it, with the title: My View of the Russian Revolution.

The old man with the newspaper continued: "Otherwise, if you don't study, you won't have thoughts, and you see that these arguments are actually very reasonable. ”

The other old man still shook his head, "If someone who understands comes, let's ask for advice again." ”

Hu Xuan said behind him: "Two old men, can you show me this newspaper?" ”

"Yes." The old man turned around and handed the newspaper to Hu Shu.

Hu Xuan took the newspaper and read it carefully, this article introduces and analyzes the Russian Revolution, there are many things that Hu Xuan has not heard of, he thinks it is fresh, some analysis, he thinks it is not appropriate, these new things, it is the benevolent and the wise, no wonder the two old men argue.

He read it twice in a row, and said a few words to the two old men about his views on some issues, and the three of them argued for a while, but they still couldn't get the point, and they all had a desire to "let the master point out", but after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for someone to come to the pavilion. Not only Hu Bolt and Shi Suo, but the two old men were also quite disappointed, and one of them said, "It seems that those knowledgeable people will not come today." ”
