Chapter 414: Spending Breakfast Time Hard
This carpet is made of scarlet felt, and the dye has the blood of the orangutan in it, so that it can be so beautiful. ”
Zhen Jiabao was even more surprised when he heard Helian Quan say this, although he couldn't bear it and didn't complain about the materials, but the hand held by Helian Quan reflected her thoughts.
"Don't get me wrong, no matter how beautiful this orangutan felt is, we can't kill innocents indiscriminately just to be able to use this carpet, these materials were actually purchased from the dark market after coming to Sicily, and it is said that they were all things that came out of the court back then."
Helian Quan's words were an understatement, but they were not much better to Zhen Jiabao's ears than when he heard about the materials used in this carpet just now.
There is no need to repeat the history of that year, and it is not difficult to imagine that the things that came out of the Chinese court would be in the markets of Sicily, but since it is such a precious thing, how can it be used to make carpets?
It seems that he is still rich, Zhen Jiabao is more and more afraid to speak, and he has already begun to think in his heart, if Helian Quan's grandfather takes a check of tens of millions and says to himself that as long as he leaves Helian Quan, he can get this money, what should he do?
The carpet is embroidered with dark gold patterns, and Zhen Jiabao can see that those patterns are embroidered with gold threads even if he doesn't know the goods, but why is there no end to this road?
Zhen Jiabao boldly raised his eyes, only to find that he had only entered the foyer when he entered this room, and there were only some crystal cover antique shelves next to him, and the things collected in them looked like a pile of RMB in Zhen Jiabao's eyes.
There is a distance of about ten meters before and after this hallway, and the more I go inside, the more I feel that my body is hot, Zhen Jiabao looked inside curiously, and was taken by Helian Quan to turn a corner, and then he really walked into Helian's restaurant.
Turning around a sixteen-open screen of flowers and birds faintly exuding fragrance, the whole picture of the entire restaurant was displayed in front of Zhen Jiabao's eyes.
Although he was in this foreign country, Zhen Jiabao looked at every decoration in this mansion with a heavy sense of history, especially after turning the screen, he saw a wooden couplet on the wall, as well as an ancient painting carefully framed in the middle.
"The old things are as far away as the sky, and the lovesickness is as deep as the sea."
The handwriting on the wooden couplet can be seen even by Zhen Jiabao, who knows nothing about calligraphy, and the inscription on the ancient painting in the middle shocked Zhen Jiabao.
"That's ...... Is that a painting by He Tingzhi? It's really too outrageous to hang it in the restaurant so casually. ”
As a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty, He Tingzhi's paintings have been sold at sky-high prices in the market, and Zhen Jiabao once carefully learned from Uncle Ji that Helian Quan's father liked to collect antiques in order to choose gifts.
It's just that I didn't expect that even Helian family's restaurant would have such a precious painting hanging - Zhen Jiabao didn't think about the authenticity of this painting at all, and was full of regret about whether the gift he brought was too cheap.
Zhen Jiabao now really understands, why does Uncle Ji and Helian Quan advocate that there is no need to prepare gifts? It's not because even the gifts that are prepared with heart are probably commonplace in the eyes of the people of the Helian family!
After turning the screen, the first thing you see is the couplets and paintings on the wall, which are like the ancient parlor-like layout.
There are three sandalwood chairs on the left and right sides, and on a small table resting between each two chairs is a vase with red plums, and in the middle is an incense burner with green smoke rising.
It's just that although the layout in this restaurant has made Zhen Jiabao breathtaking, it also makes Zhen Jiabao sigh that it is really not easy to have a meal at Helian's house, and it is really a little annoying to turn left and right.
Fortunately, Helian Quan didn't take Zhen Jiabao to shake around anymore
Meaning, on the left side of this room, through a carved door of the arched moon, you will reach the real place to eat.
I don't know if it's because of the rules of the big family, Zhen Jiabao hasn't seen any trace of servants on the road since he was taken out by Helian Quan this morning, and it wasn't until he really entered the door of this restaurant that he found that there were seven or eight servants serving in this room alone.
I really don't know why I have to have such a battle for breakfast, Zhen Jiabao boldly glanced at the head of the Helian family who was sitting on the main seat, but just happened to collide with the old man's sharp gaze.
"Good morning, Grandpa, Auntie, Father."
Helian Quan didn't feel the embarrassment of Zhen Jiabao beside him at all, and calmly greeted a few elders next to the table, and took Zhen Jiabao to sit down.
Zhen Jiabao was frightened by the eyes of the old man Helian just now, and obediently sat beside Helian Quan, not daring to raise his eyes again.
"This is the first time I've taken my wife to meet with a few elders, Garbo, call someone."
Helian Quan reminded Zhen Jiabao with a smile, and Zhen Jiabao took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to pull out a smile.
"Grandpa, aunt, hello father, I'm Zhen Jiabao."
As soon as Zhen Jiabao said this, he couldn't wait to bite off his tongue, which was really embarrassing!
But fortunately, it seems that several elders have no objections, and Helian Wei, who happened to be sitting opposite Zhen Jiabao, seemed to be a little unawake, his eyelids drooped lazily, and he was called by Zhen Jiabao to barely cheer up.
And the middle-aged woman sitting next to Helian Wei is Helian Quan's aunt, and the image expected by Zhen Jiabao is not bad at all, this heroine really looks sassy and neat, but does not lose the grace and luxury of the wealthy lady.
Zhen Jiabao already knew that this aunt had some opinions about herself, and this aunt did not disappoint Zhen Jiabao at all, and only nodded quite reservedly in the face of Zhen Jiabao's greetings, and her expression was flat.
The old man on the throne couldn't see his likes and dislikes on his face, but said lightly with a kind expression: "This is the first time that the two of you have gone home together for the New Year, and if there is anything uncomfortable, just tell Uncle Ji." ”
Of course, Zhen Jiabao couldn't climb up according to the old man's words, and hurriedly said modestly: "I don't have anything uncomfortable, everything is arranged properly." ”
The old man's expression was faint, and he didn't say anything.
"Yesterday she was a little seasick, had a low-grade fever and fell asleep for most of the day before she woke up."
Helian Quan put his hand on Zhen Jiabao's hand on the dining table in front of the three elders, and said calmly: "After breakfast in a while, I am going to take Jiabao to familiarize myself everywhere." ”
"That's how it should be."
The aunt suddenly spoke, glanced at the hands of the two people overlapping each other, and said noncommittally: "The left and right are the young ladies of the Helian family, and it is not a saying that I don't know anything." ”
"Okay, you can come with me first after breakfast in a while." Helian family rules are big, pay attention to food, don't say anything, and after greeting coldly, they began to eat silently, Aunt Helianwei looked at Helianquan's natural expression and added vegetables to the plate in front of Zhen Jiabao, and couldn't help but shrink her pupils, and the fingers holding the handle of the delicate porcelain spoon almost pinched off the spoon, took two deep breaths, and then kept calm and scooped up a spoonful of bird's nest and ate it.
The nephew who was raised by his own family since he was a child was so hooked by a girl who didn't know whom, not only did he contradict himself last time, but even now he has to take care of this girl in front of them when he brings people home, and he is afraid that they will bully this girl.
Angry!
Helian Quan didn't notice his aunt's gaze, but Zhen Jiabao, who was startled, accidentally looked up and saw his aunt's retracted gaze
The smile on his face froze, and he didn't eat the food that Helian Quan had brought over.
Helian Quan didn't care about Zhen Jiabao's refusal, just smiled slightly and no longer deliberately showed his care for her.
Zhen Jiabao was very depressed about this meal, and Helian's breakfast could be regarded as extremely luxurious and exquisite compared to Xishan Villa, but the atmosphere of the meal was too cold, so even if it was delicious, it made her a little unable to swallow.
It's just that Zhen Jiabao finally understood why Uncle Ji had to stay at the dining table every time he ate at Xishan Villa, and when he really came to Helian's house, Zhen Jiabao found that only Uncle Ji was serving alone when he was eating, which was already considered thrifty.
"Grandpa, I'm done."
Waiting for the bowl in the old man's hand to be put on the table, Helian Quan also put down the bowl in his hand with him, wiped his mouth and said lightly.
The old man nodded and glanced at Zhen Jiabao.
"Come home for the first time, and talk to your aunt for a while."
Although the old man's words sounded like concern, there was also a taste of indifference, Zhen Jiabao hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand and nodded seriously.
Unfortunately, no one waited for her to reply, and after the old man said this, he got up directly from his seat, and was supported by the old butler who had been waiting not far behind the old man and walked to the side door of the restaurant.
"Come here."
The old man and Helian Quan spoke, coughing lightly twice.
Helian Quan shook Zhen Jiabao's hand, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man with the old housekeeper left and right, still caring about his body.
Zhen Jiabao watched Helian Quan go with the old man, and felt that he was like a little sheep who had strayed into the wolf's den, as innocent and pitiful, and he had just arrived at Helian's house and had to face the boss-level aunt alone.
When my aunt was eating, her movements were elegant and gorgeous, and she didn't make a sound at all, and after watching the old man and Helian Quan leave the restaurant together, she lowered her head and concentrated on eating the breakfast in front of her, not like she was going to do anything to Zhen Jiabao at all.
Zhen Jiabao could only tremble and send breakfast to his stomach little by little, but because he had just woken up at three o'clock in the morning and ate something at a time, he was not too hungry now, and his eating movements were slow and stiff.
Helian Quan's father, who was sitting opposite Zhen Jiabao, didn't chew slowly like everyone else, holding the bowl with one hand and raising his head to drink the remaining half bowl of bird's nest inside, and put the bowl directly on the table.
"The first time I came to the door, I didn't have any gifts to give you, the last time I brought two jade pendants back at an auction in Susley, you came to me with him to take them later."
didn't look at Zhen Jiabao at all, Helian Quan's father didn't know where he was looking at the corner, and said indifferently.
"Okay...... Thank you, Father. ”
Zhen Jiabao didn't know how to answer this, not so much that Helian Quan's father's kindness surprised Zhen Jiabao, but that this indifferent attitude made Zhen Jiabao scratch his head.
said that he wanted to give gifts to himself and Helian Quan, why didn't he even look at it?
Zhen Jiabao began to wonder if he was really so unsightly, so Helian Quan's father refused to even look at him.
Perhaps it was because of Zhen Jiabao's father's call that the whole body was comfortable, and the old face that Helian Quan's father had been drooping suddenly twitched slightly, and then turned his head even more awkwardly.
"It's just a gadget that I bought casually, and I put it away."
After saying this, Helian Quan's father threw the handkerchief that had just wiped his mouth on the table, and got up and left leisurely.
