Chapter 268: Invited
Looking at the half-pennible text on the invitation letter, Li Yi finally understood Guan Xue's intention.
It turned out that her father wanted to invite him to the house for dinner.
The purpose of this meal was obviously also for the Longevity Bowl, but her father clearly wanted to talk about it at the dinner table.
Closing the invitation and pushing it back, Li Yi smiled and said, "Thank you very much for Mr. Guan's kind invitation, but I'm really busy these days, I'm afraid I don't have time to go to the banquet." ”
Seeing that he refused, Guan Xue was not surprised, she smiled and asked, "Is it?" What are you up to? If there is a need to open up, my father is somewhat thin in the capital, and he also knows some friends in the field of antique toys, he is a warm-hearted person who likes to help friends the most. ”
Hearing her words, Li Yi keenly sensed the meaning behind her words, raised his eyes, squinted slightly, and asked with a smile: "Are you investigating me?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's just a news I got by chance."
Guan Xue explained with a smile: "When Geng Wanhua tried to reproduce the cloisonne process, they contacted many handicraft manufacturers around the capital, and the owner of the glaze factory you contacted knew Geng Wanhua, so he asked casually, and he knew that you were looking for a venue and a stove." ”
Li Yi smiled and leaned back on the sofa.
After the end of this episode of the show the day after tomorrow, it will be time for him and the audience to promise to reproduce cloisonné.
In the first two dream spaces, he had already mastered the process of making cloisonné.
Seeing that the deadline was approaching, he naturally had to fulfill his promise.
When he was in Yangzhou, he was preparing for the reproduction.
He ordered a batch of copper plates, bought tools, and contacted the glaze factory here in the capital in advance, planning to rent a stove to burn cloisonné.
He guessed that this would reach Guan Xue's ears, but he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.
The front desk manager had work in his eyes, poured Li Yi a cup of tea, and sent it over.
Picking up the teacup, Li Yi took a sip and asked with a smile: "So, you are here to stop me?" ”
"It's not."
Guan Xue shook her head and said with a smile: "You want to try to reproduce cloisonné, this is your freedom, and we have no right to stop it."
My father is also a person who loves talents, but he just wants to do his part. ”
"Retreat is advancing, awesome."
Li Yi smiled and nodded.
"No, no, no, we just want to show our sincerity."
Guan Xue smiled and picked up the invitation on the table and handed it to Li Yi again: "Mr. Li Yi, it's just a light meal, if you feel that something is not going well, I will send you back at any time and apologize to you, how about it?" ”
Li Yi looked at the invitation in her hand, smiled slightly, reached out to take it, got up and said, "Anyway, it's nothing, then bother!" ”
"Please."
Guan Xue followed and got up and invited with a smile.
Li Yi walked out of the hotel gate, a Maybach had stopped outside the hotel gate, and the driver in a suit opened the back door and waited respectfully.
At the door of the hotel, a Mercedes-Benz C200 drove over, apparently a guest who came to check in.
Driving uphill to the hotel, it did not slow down, but as soon as it arrived at the entrance of the hotel, it suddenly braked after seeing the tail mark of the Maybach in front of it.
Its brakes were a little fierce and the sound was a little loud, Li Yi followed the sound and just saw the girl sitting in the passenger seat complaining to the middle-aged man in the driver's seat.
But the middle-aged man stared at the Maybach S680 in front of him, and his heart palpitated.
He found that Li Yi, who was looking back, hurriedly raised his hand in the car and signaled with a smile, then released the brakes, hung up neutral, and let the car silently retreat, giving up more space.
Seeing the car coming from behind, Li Yi stepped forward and sat directly in the back row.
Guan Xue also got into the car from the other side and sat on the other side of the back.
The driver helped Li Yi close the door, returned to the driver's seat, and gently kicked the accelerator, and the car drove out.
Li Yi sat in the leather seats in the back row, barely feeling any vibration or noise.
"Would you like something to drink?"
Guan Xue opened the car refrigerator and asked Li Yi.
"No need."
Li Yi leaned back on the seat and stretched out his feet.
The nearly six-metre body gives the rear plenty of space and doesn't feel cramped at all.
"The sound insulation of this car is good."
Li Yi praised with a smile.
When the doors of the car were closed, the noise outside the car was almost all shut out.
Guan Xue said with a smile: "If you want, you can transfer it to you with a word." ”
"Are you going to eat me?"
Li Yi glanced at her.
"No, I just want to show sincerity."
Guan Xue's attitude was leaky and very polite.
Li Yi smiled and didn't say anything more, just looked out the window.
Seeing this, Guan Xue didn't bother him anymore.
The car got on the Fifth Ring Road smoothly, and half an hour later, I came to a villa area outside Yuquan Mountain.
Driving into the yard, the driver stopped the car, came to the back door, helped Li Yi open the door, and intimately blocked the top of his head with his hand to prevent Li Yi from bumping into his head.
After getting out of the car, Li Yi looked at the environment around the villa and said with a smile: "Yuquan Mountain is indeed suitable for the elderly, and the water is good." ”
Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yuquan Mountain is a place to take water exclusively for the palace, and the spring water in the mountain has been given by Qianlong as the first spring in the world.
"Later, you can taste the tea brewed by Yuquan, the taste is not ordinary."
Guan Xue smiled and introduced Li Yi into the door, and as soon as Li Yi entered the door, he saw Geng Wanhua and Cai Yi who were talking to a white-haired old man in the living room on the first floor.
Seeing Li Yi, Cai Yi suddenly stood up excitedly, as if he wanted to say something, but held back again.
Geng Wanhua helped the old man to get up, and looked at Li Yi with the same complicated expression.
"Dad, Mr. Li Yi, I'm inviting you back."
Guan Xue smiled and invited Li Yi to the living room, stepped forward to hold the old man's arm, and introduced Li Yi with a smile: "This is my father, Guan Yue." ”
"Mr. Guan, you're good."
Li Yi politely stretched out his hand to say hello.
Guan Yue was supported by Guan Xue, stretched out his hands with a smile on his face, and held Li Yi's hand, his face wrinkled like a ravine: "Xiao Li, I've been watching your show, and we finally met today, sit down!" ”
He seemed very familiar and enthusiastic, and he kept pulling Li Yi to sit on the sofa together, still patting the back of Li Yi's hand, asking him about his experience in Yangzhou and other places a few days ago.
Listening to his inquiry, Li Yi was surprised to find that he had really watched the live broadcast a few days ago, and even knew that someone was going to pay a high price for his fish basket.
"What's the use of asking for golden bamboo? I know a friend who should be able to get some, so I'll ask for you? ”
He asked with concern.
"Yes!"
Li Yi did not refuse, and nodded with a smile.
From these few sentences, it can be seen that Guan Yue is really interested in his set of longevity bowls.
"No problem."
Guan Yue said with a smile: "My friend is in the ornamental bamboo business, there is a mountain in Zhangzhou, I will give you the phone, what kind of bamboo do you want, he has it there." ”
"Thank you."
Li Yi saved his mobile phone number with a smile and said with a smile: "Mr. Guan is really a friend all over the world!" ”
Since he chose to come to this meal, he just wanted to see what the old gentleman wanted to do.
And since Guan Yue wanted to give a gift first, he didn't refuse the benefits of sending them to the door.
