deceitful words and deeds
Chapter 21 Old Photo
There is only one photo of my uncle in Qin Xiaoyuan's mobile phone.He never seemed to like being photographed. When he was young, the photos were all looking at the camera with a serious face, and when he grew up, there were fewer and fewer photos.
That photo has been stored in the mobile phone for more than ten years, and it is still a photo of two people taken together by my uncle's freshman class.The uncle in the photo is holding a camera, most of his face is covered, as if he is taking pictures with the photographer.Zhao Huicheng sat next to him, and the distance between the two was very close. He put his hand on his uncle's shoulder and smiled brightly.
Di Xi glanced at the photo, no wonder Qin Xiaoyuan recognized Qin Xiaoshu as her uncle, judging from the half of his face that was exposed, he was indeed very similar to Qin Xiaoshu.
"This is one of the few photos left of him. Although...it was a photo of Uncle Zhao and my uncle. After my uncle disappeared, he took care of us silently and comforted everyone. Later we found out when we sorted out my uncle's things Grandma couldn't accept this group photo at first, but Uncle Zhao is a very good person, and over time, grandma also accepted him." Qin Xiaoyuan said with a smile on his face, "If uncle is still here, they will be very happy partner."
Di Xie stared at her with soft eyes, Qin Xiaoyuan felt embarrassed: "Look at me, I'm starting to say such stupid things again."
That person will not come back, no amount of fantasies are meaningful.
When she was about to leave, Qin Xiaoyuan was scrambling to pay, but Di Xie took the first step. She was a little annoyed: "Obviously I said I wanted to buy you a drink, but why did I ask you to pay..."
"It's okay. People who come to me have all kinds of unsatisfactory things. It's a good thing that you don't need me to solve anything." Di Chie said, "I hope you can continue like this and stop being troubled by unnecessary things. "
"Thank you." Qin Xiaoyuan's cheeks flushed.When she first saw this man, she was undoubtedly shocked by his appearance, although it is still the same now, but besides that, she felt the tenderness hidden under the appearance.
It's so nice that she always meets warm people.
Qin Xiaoyuan waved to Di Chai and left the coffee shop.
Di Chi changed his mind, he didn't plan to go to Su Bai immediately, he wanted to go to Qin Xiaoshu first.
Of course, he didn't deliberately have to go to him, it's just that Aunt Gu's birthday that Su Bai mentioned before was just around the corner, and he needed to prepare a gift, something that came with it.
Most of the antique shops on Pingxi Road are street stalls, but after getting acquainted with the bosses, they will bring out some good things, so you can go and have a look today if you have time.
When Di Xie passed by Ronghe Residence, he subconsciously thought that Qin Xiaoshu might not be in the shop.He glanced in, and was immediately stopped by the shop assistant.
"Mr. Di? Are you here to shop again?"
Di Chie slowed down and stepped into the threshold: "Well, just take a look."
The clerk glanced upstairs: "The boss is meeting guests upstairs, why don't you wait?"
"No, I'm still planning to go somewhere else..." Before Di Chai finished speaking, Qin Xiaoshu's voice came from upstairs: "Who's here?"
The clerk said loudly, "It's Mr. Di."
The sound of footsteps came from the ceiling, Qin Xiaoshu leaned out half of his body, saw Di Chie with a smile in his eyes: "Come on, come up."
Di Xie looked at him, thinking about the photo and what Qin Xiaoyuan had said in his mind, but his mind had not yet reached a conclusion, and his body had already started to walk upstairs.
Upstairs is not only Qin Xiaoshu, but also another little old man with a melon skin hat.
The solid wooden tea tray on the table is powered on, a pot of water is bubbling in the heating zone, and there is still a little tea left in the tea bowl.
The little old man in the melon cap didn't care about the arrival of strangers, and sat face to face with Qin Xiaoshu calmly, with a small Jade Buddha on the table beside him.
The old man in the melon cap took a sip of his tea and said slowly, "Nephew, take a look at this thing of mine. The Jade Buddha of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in my opinion, should be worth several million."
Following the old man's words, Di Xie's eyes fixed on the little Jade Buddha, and Qin Xiaoshu suddenly turned the conversation to him: "Mr. Di also understands this, why don't you tell me your opinion?"
Di Chie was taken aback by these words, and he shook his head: "I'm just a spectator, how dare I open my mouth."
When the old man in the melon cap saw that someone new was about to join in, he immediately got excited: "Tell me, what's the embarrassment to say? Naturally, good things should be given out to share. I'm glad you know this thing well. Say it! "
Di Xi glanced back and forth between him and the little Jade Buddha: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask, how much did you pay for this Jade Buddha?"
"Not much, [-]." The old man in the melon cap was full of complacency, and his face was full of complacency for what he had picked up.
Di Que lowered his eyes and smiled: "It's not a loss, the quality is fine."
"What do you mean by that?" What the old man with melon cap wanted to hear was the sentence "You've made a lot of money." Now this sentence was far from the effect he wanted, and he suddenly became dissatisfied.He frowned and was about to go into a fit, when he heard a scream from the kettle. Qin Xiaoshu lifted the screaming kettle from the heating zone and spoke.
"You don't understand? It's not a loss, but you didn't make a profit. It's from the Southern Tang Dynasty, I think it's from Cijiatang in the eastern suburbs." Qin Xiaoshu poured water in one go, a stream of clear water fell into the big teapot, and with a flick of his wrist Turn, the water column is simply cut off, and the water does not leak.
"The fineness is fine, that is to say, this piece of yours has no merits other than its fineness. The old-fashioned method is still good, but it was a method a few years ago. It seems that this master has not kept pace with the times. Jade The fineness is indeed good, but the carver is not worth mentioning, and the shoddy craftsmanship may be saved by finding a good master to carve and carve."
When a sentence came out, I was not out of breath.Di Xi secretly thought it was funny, he really didn't need to take a breath.
The old man in the melon cap was so angry that the veins on his forehead twitched violently. He was holding a white porcelain teacup in his hand and was about to fall to the ground. Suddenly, his movements stopped and a smile appeared on his face.
Another voice came from downstairs: "Boss, Mr. Liao is here."
Then came a moderate voice: "Help, man. There's something here. Help me move it upstairs."
The old man in the melon cap put down his teacup and put the little Jade Buddha into the box he brought, with a bit of yin and yang: "Xiaosheng, you have to be careful what you say later."
"Old man Ma, what prestige are you trying to put on? I won't agree to intimidate Xiao Qin."
A skinny old man came up from downstairs, wearing a small black cashmere vest, with round gold-rimmed glasses in his chest patch pocket, pacing with his hands behind his back.
"It doesn't work if you come, I'm not afraid of you." The old man in the melon cap was not convinced.
There were heavy footsteps on the stairs. The two people walking up were carrying heavy things in their hands. They gritted their teeth and took a breath, and walked up steadily step by step.
"Xiao Qin, let me show you Uncle Liao, is this a good thing?" The thin old man consciously sat on the edge of the tea tray, took the teacup by himself, and drank it.
The guy put the things down and opened the package: "Boss, we'll go down first."
"Go." Qin Xiaoshu poured tea unhurriedly, beckoned Di Chie to sit down, scalded the cup with boiling water, and poured him a new one.
The thin old man looked at the cup in his hand and clicked his tongue. The old man in the melon cap laughed loudly: "Look at the treatment, don't you be envious."
"Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Qin, come and take a look, Jian Jian Bao."
Qin Xiaoshu got up and walked to the big piece, and took a look inside.It was a solid wooden tea tray, bigger than the one on his desk.He reached out to touch the wood, tapped again, and then returned to his position.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the skinny old man felt a little uneasy: "What, Xiao Qin? What do you say about this?"
"See if you can find something you like. Maybe you can sell it for a good price if you meet someone with predestined relationship."
Qin Xiaoshu's words were ambiguous. The old man in the melon cap raised his eyebrows and glanced at the skinny old man. The skinny old man's head was provoked, and he immediately became anxious: "Xiao Qin, if you have something to say, just say it. Whether it's good or not, you can tell me what to say." !"
"The wood is high-quality huanghuali, with clear lines and hard wood. It is a rare and good material." Qin Xiaoshu boasted that the two old men present are people who have seen the world. It is expected that it will not be good to follow, the old man in the melon skin hat His complexion was tense, even more tense than the skinny old man.
"As the saying goes, good materials don't need work. A good piece of wood should be displayed in its original form. It should be worth hundreds of thousands. If you meet a good master, you can double it. But this carver is up to you. "
After hearing this, the skinny old man smiled wide-eyed and patted his thigh as if he had heard something very pleasant.The old man in the melon cap slapped the table: "I don't know the goods!"
"This junior doesn't have much discernment, next time please hire someone else." Qin Xiaoshu sat there flattered, and turned back.
The skinny old man was proud: "Old man Ma, I told you that you took a useless thing. It is so big and takes up space. Let me see you, put it on the side of the road when you go outside. Someone who wants it will always pick it up. of."
"Don't be complacent. What do you think your little Jade Buddha is?" The melon-capped old man raised his head and patted the box containing the little Jade Buddha. "Take this thing back and let your grandson play with it."
"You!" The skinny old man was furious. Seeing that the two old men were about to fight, Qin Xiaoshu called out the name of the clerk, and the clerk came between the two of them with ease, holding one elbow with one hand, and respectfully and yet vigorously pulled the two of them together. Please go downstairs, old man.
"Both of you, be careful on the stairs. I'll support you. Hey, I'll bring you the two treasures in a while. Come and sit down."
Looking at this vivid scene, Di Xie felt amused in his heart.Unexpectedly, Qin Xiaoshu's job is... an old man.
Seeing the meaning, those two brought each other's things in front of Qin Xiaoshu, just wanting to hear how he demoted them.
"These two are old kids, they've been thinking about how to fight all day long." Qin Xiaoshu said with a smile, "They are Mr. Mu's old partners for decades, so I will play with them."
"By the way, why did you come here?" Qin Xiaoshu hid half a sentence.In fact, if he could, he would rather ask, "Did you come to see me?"
Di Chie said: "I have a respected elder whose birthday is approaching, and I want to find a gift for her."
"Uncle or aunt?" Qin Xiaoshu asked.
"It's an aunt." Di Jie realized what he meant, and quickly said, "I didn't come to ask you to help me, I just happened to pass by."
"Well, I know." Qin Xiaoshu said so, but immediately got up and went downstairs.
Di Xi couldn't sit still anymore, followed behind him, stretched out his hand to stop him, but thought of something, even if it was just a little, he didn't dare to act rashly.
He instinctively avoided all ambiguous words that the other party might say.
"Soon, just wait a minute."
As Qin Xiaoshu spoke, he entered the back of the house, where was the warehouse.Di Xie's footsteps stopped on the spot, and he actually wanted to turn around and leave while no one was paying attention.This kind of evasion was a bit inexplicable, and Di Chai stood stiffly, as if he didn't do anything right.
Especially, after meeting Qin Xiaoyuan today, if Qin Xiaoshu is really her uncle, then he... really likes men, right?
That photo has been stored in the mobile phone for more than ten years, and it is still a photo of two people taken together by my uncle's freshman class.The uncle in the photo is holding a camera, most of his face is covered, as if he is taking pictures with the photographer.Zhao Huicheng sat next to him, and the distance between the two was very close.
