Chapter Twenty-Six: Antiques
Shaojiang Lu Hibiscus had a very happy conversation with Mrs. Hart yesterday, but after all, it was the first time they met, and it was inconvenient to keep her in the old house, so today they specially held a farewell banquet to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
When Qin Qing arrived, the Shao family's living room was already lively.
Not only Mrs. Hart, but also Shao Zhiyong and Qin Ke came.
Qin Qing was a little surprised, and looked at Lu Jian inquiringly.
Lu Jin's expression was subtle, obviously, these two people were not invited.
Shao Jiang was explaining to Mrs. Hart how the ancestors of the Spring and Autumn Period used pottery to make bronze vessels.
On the table in front of him was only a 'copper sacrificial standing human disk' and a few pottery molds, Mrs. Hart held a magnifying glass, carefully observed the thumb-sized woman on the bronze vessel, and when she looked up and saw Qin Qing, she suddenly smiled, pointed to the bronze woman and said, "You are very similar!" ”
Qin Qing was stunned for a moment, understanding that she was praising her, and wanted to be modest.
Who knew that Shao Zhiyong suddenly said coldly: "Mrs. Hart, that woman is a slave." ”
Mrs. Hart was stunned for a long time before she realized that Shao Zhiyong was satirizing Qin Qing!
She was immediately puzzled: "Mr. Shao, do you have any dissatisfaction with Miss Qin?" ”
Shao Zhiyong sneered: "Mrs. Hart, you probably don't know that this Miss Qin you like is actually a scheming!" ”
"Scheming?"
Poor Mrs. Hart's Chinese is not good, and she can't hear it clearly, so she can only barely repeat the last three words, and ask Qin Qing with her eyes.
Qin Qing's mind turned quickly, and his eyes swept over Qin Ke, who had a dodgy expression, and he knew that Shao Zhiyong had come to settle yesterday's morning's account! It seems that he and Qin Ke didn't come to the live broadcast yesterday afternoon, not because they wanted to understand whether they should go for trouble, but because they wanted to understand that they were calculated!
That's interesting!
Qin Qing was laughing in her heart, the voice of bad luck in her head snapped, but her expression was innocent, she looked at Shao Jiang in a panic, and asked softly, "Grandpa Shao, am I ...... Shouldn't come? ”
Mrs. Hart understood this time, turned her head and asked Shao Jiang, "Mr. Shao, didn't you invite Miss Qin?" Or did you invite the wrong person? ”
Shao Jiang: ......
Of course he pleased, of course there is no mistake!
No matter how stupid he is, he is not so stupid that he can't figure out Qin Qing and Qin Ke!
But who can tell him why his Shao Jiang's grandson is so stupid? So stupid that he began to hope that a thunder would fall from the sky and smash this grandson to death!
Shao Jiang darkened his face, took two deep breaths, came over and touched Qin Qing's head: "Good boy, it's grandpa who teaches his son no way, you accompany Mrs. Hart." ”
Saying that, he gave Lu Jin a look, and Lu Jin immediately came over, pulled one with a smile, and took them to visit the Shao family's collection.
Before leaving, Qin Qing looked back at Shao Zhiyong, he was staring at her coldly, wishing that she would fall to the ground and die immediately! But Qin Qing smiled, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were extremely charming and mocking.
Shao Zhiyong was stunned for a moment, knowing that she was smiling and gloating, but as if she had been sucked out of her soul, she stared at her figure and disappeared, and she didn't come back to her senses.
"Ayong, Ayong!" Qin Ke shouted at him with a trembling voice, and his little hand pulled his arm twice before he came back to his senses.
"Grandpa told you to go up." She was pale and obviously had just seen it!
Shao Zhiyong suddenly felt guilty, and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, wait for me, I'll come down immediately." ”
"Okay." Qin Ke hung his head, his face full of bitterness.
Shao Zhiyong wanted to speak and stopped, just as Shao Jiang shouted to him in a deep voice, he immediately followed up.
When he left Qin Ke, he glanced back at her, she didn't look at him, he didn't feel lost, but had the pleasure of escaping.
The Shao family collection is rich in collections, in addition to antique pottery, there are also bronzes, porcelain, among which there are several pieces of ancient pottery and ancient porcelain that Shao Jiang bought back from abroad, although it cannot be called a cultural relic, but it is also quite rare.
Mrs. Hart was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and she was amazed again and again, and the unhappiness just now was instantly thrown out of the clouds.
Qin Qing was also eye-opening, and he wanted to take two more looks, but seeing that Lu Jin specially slowed down and paralleled her, he knew that she had something to say.
He looked at her and smiled meaningfully.
Ms. Lu was embarrassed by her laughter, and her thin white fingertips poked lightly on her forehead, and scolded in a coquettish voice: "Monkey-like, count you the best!" ”
As he spoke, he took her by the hand and led her to a small corner of the hiding room.
There is a glass display case, and under the glass cover, a plum blue lotus-patterned clay pot stands elegantly like a lady's virgin.
There is no need for Lu Jin to explain more, just at a glance, Qin Qing knows that this is the true heirloom of the Lu family! Three years ago, Lu Hibiscus sent her and sponsors to copy.
She leaned over the glass cover, tracing the shape of the bottle through the cover.
So beautiful, so quiet, quiet like a woman from the Southern Song Dynasty who came through thousands of years, beckoning to her gently, wanting to bring her into the elegant years of hairpin flower tea......
"She's so beautiful." Qin Qing couldn't help but sigh.
"We want to give her to you." Lu Jin held Qin Qing's cold little hand and said sincerely.
Qin Qing was stunned and looked up at her in confusion.
Lu Jin was avoiding her gaze: "Actually, you already knew, didn't you?" I can fool you three years ago, but I can't fool you now. Three years ago, it was my fault that you were misunderstood, and you wasted three years of youth in vain. When I came back, I took it with me, and I made it clear to Shao Jiang, and he also knew that he had misunderstood you, so we discussed and gave it to you as an apology. Although you will never be able to afford to pay for three years, at least it is a heart, you ......"
"I can't take it." Qin Qing interrupted her with a smile.
Lu Jin's face was pale, for fear that she would not forgive.
"You have helped me a lot over the years, this time you are willing to come from Zhenjiang to meet Mr. Shao, and help me persuade him to come forward to repair the pottery, and also help me do a live broadcast, which has given me a big face. Three years ago, even if there was no misunderstanding, with my eyesight, I may not be able to be a qualified curator, these three years I have not wasted, I have seen what I should see, I have learned what I should learn, with the recognition of you and Mr. Shao, it is actually very worthwhile. Qin Qing said sincerely, Lu Jin's eyes turned red when she heard it, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and patted her hands.
"What are you talking about, making me an old woman cry!"
"Why are you an old woman?" Qin Qing smiled.
Ms. Lu glanced at her: "Don't joke with me, you don't want this clay pot now, and it will be yours in the future." I, who have no children or daughters, have been dealing with clay pots all my life, and when I die, it would be a pity if no one took care of these things of the Lu family! ”
She also really loves the clay pot, looking sideways, her eyes full of pity.
"Okay, I promise you, when the time comes, I'll send it to the museum." Qin Qing patted her on the shoulder and comforted her.
"I'll leave it to you, what to do, you feel free!" Ms. Lu cried when she cried, laughed when she laughed, shook off her handkerchief, twisted her thin waist, and went to find Mrs. Hart, who didn't know the inside story and looked confused.
Qin Qingmu sent her away, and then looked at the clay pot, his eyes were slightly deep.
If it was for this, why did Shao Jiang go out of his way to find Ji Zheng?
