Chapter 43: A Gamble with a Woman
This time, I took the umbrella very carefully. Didn't touch the other person's hand.
Tong Mengna blushed slightly, chuckled again, and said, "Brother Chen, you are so funny." ”
I smiled embarrassedly, and I wanted to say something, but I felt like I had nothing to say for a while.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
I myself thought it was strange that before this time, I had been in contact with the other party twice, the first time at her mother's house at the opposite door, and the second time when I helped her carry rice and climb the stairs. There were three times in total, and two times I held someone's hand. Although it wasn't intentional, it was unintentional and a little unreasonable, I didn't recognize it, I had never been in contact with it before, and I shook someone's hand so affordably. Too... That's it.
"Did Brother Chen go to the south on a business trip?" Tong Mengna took the initiative to break the embarrassment.
"Oh no, it's not. Go see a friend. "Of course I won't tell the truth. However, after saying this, I suddenly felt that I had a feeling of being the same person as the other party.
Think about myself, when my career was at its peak, I fell to the bottom. As for the other party, although I don't know much, but through the scene of her ex-husband Gao Shan coming to the door last time to look for trouble, I know that she is an unfortunate woman, in order to treat her father's illness, she married her ex-husband aggrievedly, to put it mildly, it is equivalent to selling herself. After finally getting divorced, her ex-husband came to pester her again.
"Alas!"
I couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Chen, it's not easy to be a man. Take care. After Tong Mengna finished speaking, she turned around and entered the house.
I noticed that when the other person said this, he looked at me very specially. It's hard to put it in words. can only be understood and unspeakable, there is a vein in the other party's eyes, which is the eyes of a mature woman looking at a man.
This kind of look is only available to mature women. Any man will be thrilled after reading it.
On the way to meet Dunzi Aqiu, all I could see was the shadow of Tong Mengna. I suddenly remembered what Aunt Liu said~~~ "My girl Monroe is one year younger than Xiao Chen, you are a cow, she is a rat." My daughter is kind-hearted, good-tempered, and very understanding..."
I pondered this again, and the more I pondered it, the more puzzled I became. It's still the same sentence, in marriage, the cow and mouse are a perfect match, why does Aunt Liu say this, do you say it casually, or... What else is hinted at?
When I arrived at the restaurant, Dunzi and Aqiu had already arrived early. Dunzi made all the breakfast. Seeing me coming, Dunzi said, "Brother, eat while it's hot." After eating, go directly to the high-speed rail station. Tickets were booked online. ”
After eating, I looked at the time, and there was still time. I asked Aqiu, "I heard Dunzi say that you went to the Civic Association?" ”
"Yes. The place is very remote, in an alley, and finally found it. Fine. ”
I wondered, "Where are you going?" ”
"Look," Aqiu took out a plastic bag from his bag, and when I looked at it, it turned out to be the soil that the other party had taken from the broken Taoist temple in Beishan. "This is what Mr. Lu wants. I went to the Folklore Association to find out about the Taoist temple. ”
It turned out that after returning from Professor Zhou, I arranged for Dunzi to accompany Aqiu to visit the local places of interest and historical sites, and try the famous local snacks. When Dunzi was very enthusiastic and took Aqiu to do what I asked, Aqiu did not cooperate. Aqiu said that he had no interest in playing and eating, and he offered to ask Dunzi to take him to the local folklore association.
Dunzi was very unfamiliar with the term Folklore Association, and found this name on the map of Gaode and followed the navigation. After turning around, I found the Folklore Association in a deserted alley, and there was only one staff member on duty and asked them what they were doing. Aqiu said to the other party that he wanted to check the origin of the Beishan Taoist Temple and whether anyone was cultivating the Taoist temple there.
The staff asked, Taoist temple? Is there a Taoist temple in Beishan? Seeing this, Aqiu was disappointed. He came back with Dunzi.
I asked Aqiu puzzled: "I know that Mr. Lu asked you to inquire about the situation of the Taoist temple." However, I really don't understand, is that Daoist Temple very important to Mr. Lu? Why does Mr. Lu have a soft spot for it? ”
Aqiu said, "Well, when you see Mr. Lu, let's ask him." ”
After getting on the high-speed train, the three of us found a good seat and sat down. Dunzi leaned against the window, and after sitting down, he looked at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly laughed twice. Based on what I know about Dunzi, he must have thought of something.
I asked Dunzi, "Dunzi, what are you laughing at?" ”
"Nothing." Dunzi said that it was nothing, but he couldn't help but laugh twice.
I remembered a question I had wanted to ask for a long time, "Dunzi, why did you spend 1.2 million yuan to buy that imitation Ru kiln azure glazed bowl?" "I know Dunzi too well, he went to work in the south after graduating from junior high school, and it is pure nonsense to say that he likes antiques.
This question has been in my mind for a long time, and I have always wanted to ask it, but recently I have been thinking about the matter of Hejude Auction House, and I didn't bother to ask. Now that I have time, I just need to ask the pier.
"It's to make a gamble with a woman."
"What did you say?" I looked at the pier in surprise, "Bet on it?" For women? ”
"Yes."
Next, in front of Aqiu, Dunzi told the story of his buying bowls.
After Dunzi arrived in the south six years ago, he found that southerners liked to enjoy and were unwilling to work hard, so Dunzi's physical strength came in handy. In order to make more money, he picks hard work and tiring work, moving bricks at construction sites, carrying cement at wharves, and carrying dead people in hospitals... In six years, he earned 1.2 million.
When he was about to go back to his hometown, Dunzi wanted to try his luck before leaving. What's the luck method? It turned out that Dunzi saw that the southern girls were very smart, and his heart was very itchy. When he didn't have any money, he didn't have any ideas. Now that he has money, he wants to hook up with a girl on the street of the night market to try, in case the hookup is successful.
Dunzi found a very prosperous street in the night market, and after wandering around for a long time, he found that in an antique shop, there was a good-looking girl, this girl looked very handsome, Dunzi was immediately hooked, he mustered up his courage and decided to hook up.
Who knows, as soon as Dunzi entered, the girl escorted him away, and her speech was very difficult to hear. The girl said, is this place your hillbilly here, the price of the things in it scares you to death, hurry up, you can't afford to pay if it is broken.
Dunzi hates being looked down upon the most, especially by this good-looking girl, and his self-esteem can't stand it. Dunzi reasoned with the other party. He raised his voice, and after a loud voice, a fat man with a gold chain around his neck stepped out from behind the counter. The fat man politely said to Dunzi that it is for your own good to let you go, otherwise you will accidentally break anything here and you will not be able to afford to lose if you sell you. As he spoke, Pan Paper took out a bowl from the counter and said to Dunzi, this bowl is a Ru kiln azure glazed bowl, with a price tag of 1.2 million, if you can take out 1.2 million to buy it, then... He stretched out his hand and pointed to the girl and said, "This girl is your daughter-in-law."
It turned out that the fat man was the person in charge of this antique shop, and he had long noticed that there was a rustic countryman staring at the girl outside the store, so he wanted to play tricks on the other party.
