As time went on, Zheng Zhendong went to school after getting better.

During this period, Lou's family came to visit Zheng Zhendong several times and brought a lot of supplements.

Even Lou Xiao'e herself, when she has something to do, she often runs to the compound.

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e often comes over, the neighbors in the courtyard also joke about Zheng Zhendong.

said that he was a hero who saved the United States and rescued a daughter-in-law.

Zheng Zhendong stopped everyone's statement many times, but it had little effect, and he didn't bother to say it in the end.

After listening to it a lot, Zheng Zhendong also considered marrying Lou Xiao'e in the future.

......

But let Zheng Zhendong give up like this, he was a little unwilling in his heart, and finally thought that he was still young, and he was not in a hurry about this matter, so he put it on hold for the time being.

After another period of time, Zheng Zhendong graduated from middle school.

After the results of the high school entrance examination came out, Zheng Zhendong felt that the gap between the treatment of the university entrance examination in the future and the graduation of the technical secondary school was not very large.

Although one enjoys the treatment of a level 7 clerk and a level 5, it will take 7 years to go to university and wait until graduation.

Technical secondary school is different, you only need to study for another three years to join the work.

In addition

So Zheng Zhendong didn't take the high school entrance exam, and directly chose a nearby secondary school.

During the summer vacation, Zheng Zhendong was idle and had nothing to do, so he went out and came to Liulichang while walking.

Thinking of Lan Yigui who he had seen before, the two of them had a good chat last time, so he walked towards Tian Hexuan.

When I came to the door, I found that the door of the store was covered with a board, and there was a seal on the door.

Zheng Zhendong looked at this situation and said, "Yes, this Boss Lan has an accident, otherwise he won't be blocked!" ”

Since this door was sealed, Zheng Zhendong was about to withdraw, and just as he was about to leave, a middle-aged man blocked his way.

"This gentleman, as soon as I looked at you, I found that you are not an ordinary person, this is going to exchange some things, keep it for fun!

You are standing at the door of Lan Yigui again, this is to buy calligraphy and paintings!

Unfortunately, something happened to the blue shopkeeper, and he was not arrested by the new government.

said that he was fighting with foreigners and selling national cultural relics, so you won't be able to see him for a while!

But don't worry, it's not a coincidence!

Come on, come on, I have a picture here, please look at it and see if you like it or not? ”

After that, the man took out a paper tube wrapped in hemp paper from under his armpit, then opened the package, and unfolded the painting inside to show Zheng Zhendong.

Zheng Zhendong, who was not very interested, just glanced at the painting, but when he saw the shrimp painted on the painting, he couldn't help asking.

"You are a shrimp painted by Old Man Shiraishi, where did this painting come from?"

"Sir, you are really good eyesight, you can see at a glance that this is a painting painted by Qi Lao, you are really amazing!"

Listening to the writer of Zheng Zhendong's broken paintings, the middle-aged man first praised it, and then said.

"The villain's name is Yin Dafa, he is guarding the door in Qi Lao's Mansion, this painting is rewarded to me by the old man, let me sell it to supplement the family!"

Zheng Zhendong heard that he was the gatekeeper of Qi Baishi's mansion, and asked Yin Dafa.

"Uncle Yin, how much are you going to sell for this painting?"

Yin Dafa listened to Zheng Zhendong's inquiry, and compared eight with his hand while speaking.

"Sir, if you want, just give me 80,000 yuan (8 yuan for 55 years)!"

Zheng Zhendong didn't bargain, and directly took out the money and paid him.

Yin Dafa saw that Zheng Zhendong was so happy, and hurriedly wrapped the painting.

After handing the painting to Zheng Zhendong with both hands, he took the money.

After Zheng Zhendong took the painting, he couldn't help asking.

"Uncle Yin, is it inconvenient for Qi Lao now? I want to pay a visit! ”

Yin Dafa hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

"This gentleman, you also know that the old man Qi is old and doesn't see outsiders very much!

If you want to visit the old man's home, I can only help you pass it on, and I can't guarantee the rest! ”

Hearing Yin Dafa say this, Zheng Zhendong nodded and said.

"That's okay, by the way, Uncle Yin, you don't have to call me a gentleman!

My name is Zheng Zhendong, you can call me by my name, otherwise you can call me Dongzi, everyone calls me that! ”

Yin Dafa shook his head after hearing this, and then said to Zheng Zhendong.

"That's not possible, isn't this messing up the humility, this can't be done!

How can I, a watchman, call a noble man by his name?

This is called your nickname, then it is even worse, no, no, no, I still call you Mr. Zheng! ”

Zheng Zhendong saw that Yin Dafa insisted on this, so he went with him.

Yin Dafa saw that Zheng Zhendong was not there, so he changed his words, so he took Zheng Zhendong to Xicheng.

On the way, Zheng Zhendong chatted with Yin Dafa and arrived unconsciously, No. 13 Straddle Hutong in Pichai Hutong.

When he arrived at the gatehouse, Yin Dafa asked Zheng Zhendong to sit down and wait for a while, he was going to pass the word.

After a while, Yin Dafa came back and said to Zheng Zhendong.

"Mr. Zheng, Elder Qi, please go in!

You're really lucky, Qi Laodu hasn't seen a stranger for a long time!

This is still the first one, come with me! ”

After saying that, Yin Dafa led Zheng Zhendong and walked towards the main room of the middle courtyard.

Zheng Zhendong followed Yin Dafa inside, looking at the courtyard all the way.

I found that this courtyard is really good, although it is only a triple courtyard, but next to it is a cross-courtyard, and it can also live in people.

Besides, this courtyard sits on the north and faces south, with one gate (not the original gate) and two inverted rooms.

There are three houses in the south, north, east and west of the courtyard, all of which are hard hilltop tiles over the ridge roof, and the front is out of the porch.

There are finches in the corridor step, there is an upside-down frieze at the end, there is a bench railing below, and the houses are connected by the corner corridor.

The north room has three rooms in the east and west ear rooms, and the south room is connected to the west side of the mountain and three rooms.

There are exquisite brick carving patterns at the head of each room, there are calligraphy seal carved brick carvings at the horse board between the corridors, and there are woodcarved couplets on the wooden partition fan between the bright rooms of the north room.

The west wall on the south side of the west ear room is decorated with a brick engraved with the words "purple gas comes from the east".

Seeing this courtyard, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but sigh, this is the place where people live.

The place where I live can only be regarded as a large miscellaneous compound.

After arriving at the main room, Yin Dafa knocked on the door.

After getting permission from inside, Yin Dafa pushed open the door and led Zheng Zhendong in.

After Zheng Zhendong walked in the door, he saw an old man with a thin figure, a half-bald head and a white beard sitting on the Taishi chair behind the desk.

Without waiting for Zheng Zhendong to come forward to say hello, Qi Baishi greeted Zheng Zhendong.

"Come on, come on, children, please take a seat!

I heard Xiao Yin say, you bought the painting I gave him, and you recognized it at a glance that I painted it, have you ever learned to paint before? ”

Zheng Zhendong greeted Qi Baishi first, and then said.

"Don't hide it from you, I really haven't learned to draw, but I've seen your paintings before, and I'm very impressed because I like it!"

Hearing Zheng Zhendong say this, Qi Baishi stroked his beard, first smiled, and then spoke.

"Thank you, kids, for liking my paintings!

Qi I have painted for half my life, and when I am still a child like you, I am also comforted by my life! ”

When Zheng Zhendong heard this, he stood up and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" Your old paintings, even the old people have praised them, what kind of green onion am I! ”

Qi Baishi waved his hand, stood up tremblingly, and said.

"Young people don't be presumptuous, it's right that old people like my paintings!

You like my drawings too, and that's even more!

I'm over 90 years old this year, and I'm going to see Lord Yama when I speak, can I not be happy to have a young man like you like my paintings?

Sit down, sit down, let's talk! ”

Zheng Zhendong walked up to Qi Baishi and helped him sit down first, and then sat down beside him.

The two sat there and chatted for a long time, and finally the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

Unknowingly, they chatted until five o'clock in the afternoon, and Zheng Zhendong saw that the time was not early, so he got up and said goodbye.

Qi Baishi stopped him from leaving, and insisted on giving him a gift.

After Zheng Zhendong excused himself, he could only agree to see that he insisted.

Qi Baishi saw that Zheng Zhendong agreed, smiled happily, and then spoke.

"You know my paintings, and my paintings are okay, but in fact, my gold and stone are also good!

That's it, Xiao Dongzi, I'll give you a seal, and you write your name on paper. ”

After hearing this, Zheng Zhendong picked up a brush from the desk, dipped it in some ink, and wrote the words "Zheng Zhendong" on rice paper.

Qi Baishi looked at the words written on the paper, and was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth to ask Zheng Zhendong.

"Xiao Dongzi, do you know that there was a person named Li Yuanba in the Tang Dynasty in the past?"

Although Zheng Zhendong was very puzzled about Qi Baishi, how to mention Li Yuanba in a dignified manner, he still nodded and said "I know".

Hearing Zheng Zhendong say that he knew, Qi Baishi asked him again.

"Since you know the person Li Yuanba, do you know what his original name is?"

Zheng Zhendong was asked by Qi Baishi at this time, and said in his heart, "Li Yuanba is called Li Yuanba, where is there any other name!"

Besides, what is Li Yuanba's name, and what does it have to do with me? ”

Although he thought so, Zheng Zhendong still said, "I really don't know about this, please tell me all the time!" ”

Only then did Qi Baishi speak, and continued to say to Zheng Zhendong.

This Li Yuanba was originally called Li Xuanba, and later after Kangxi ascended the throne in the Qing Dynasty, he changed the "Xuan" in his middle to "Yuan".

Your name is also taboo, what is the name of the old man, don't you know, how to call this name?

Hurry up and change it, or you will regret it one day in the future. ”

Listening to what Qi Baishi said so much, Zheng Zhendong! Only then did I find out my name, which was really offensive to the old man.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Qi Baishi reminded him today, otherwise when he waited for ten years, he would be indispensable because of this name.

Although no one is talking about this now, but when it comes to the shelf, no one sympathizes with him when something happens.

If you implicate your family because of your name, you won't know how to cry when the time comes.

Ask for votes, ask for votes! If you have a vote, help vote! I'm going to write as much as I can this month.
