Seven's secret

Mother Pei helped Liu Yuan carry her luggage downstairs, and while stuffing the big and small bags into the trunk, she told her, "These are prepared by Grandpa Xiao Rong for your grandparents, and they are mushrooms dried by the mountain people themselves. , but there are no such things as pesticides. Take them home and give them a taste; these two bags are skirts that your aunt bought for you, and you didn’t have a chance to dress them up in the army. Now you are on vacation, so be beautiful.”

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang."

Mother Pei sighed, feeling a little guilty, "I originally wanted to take you to have fun in Binhai, but I didn't expect something to happen at home, and Xiao Rong was busy with work..."

Liu Yuan hurriedly said: "Aunt Zhang, if you say that again, I will feel embarrassed. I haven't said that I have caused you trouble."

Mother Pei watched Liu Yuan get into the car, feeling very uncomfortable.What a beautiful girl, she needs good looks, education and education, whatever she wants...

Ugh.

Emotional matters cannot be forced, nor can they be forced.But let her watch her son find a man, she is really not reconciled.She couldn't believe it anymore, other people's sons could get married and have children safely, why couldn't her son?

These days, Mr. Pei didn't let them talk about this matter in front of Pei Rong, saying that he wanted to give Pei Rong a time to think about it.Now that the old man had spoken, she had no choice but to listen.But why did she feel that no one in the family talked about it, and Pei Rong's little expression became more nourished?

Could it be that Mr. Pei is actually on Pei Rong's side?

When Mother Pei thought of this possibility, she panicked immediately, and quickly took out her mobile phone to call Dad Pei, "Do you think I should make a drastic move and talk to that child, Xiao Qi?"

Dad Pei sighed on the phone, "Why did you go to him? Isn't his child quite innocent? Turning around, he drove him into a hurry. Let me tell you: take care of your child and don't let him bother me. You How do you say? Don't hold your breath?"

Pei's mother asked him back, "Then leave him alone? Let him mess around by himself?"

"I didn't let him mess around." Dad Pei said, "To tell you the truth, I think this is difficult because our son is not messing around. When did he take it so seriously? I don't agree. He's looking for a man to fall in love with, but I think my son has grown up, so he won't be out of control when he does things."

Mother Pei was very angry, "How can you indulge him like this?!"

Papa Pei sighed, "What if you don't indulge? Are you really breaking off with him?"

Mother Pei choked for a moment, and said fiercely: "He is my son, no one should even think of cutting off relations with me! Why do you want to cut off relations? It's not me who did the wrong thing!"

"It's actually not a wrong thing to do," Dad Pei heard the anxiety in her voice, and said comfortingly, "If you're really worried, don't go to the battle yourself, talk to our dad and let him find it." Xiao Qi probed. Isn't he Xiao Qi's uncle? It's easier for you to talk."

Mother Pei thought for a while, "That's fine, I'll talk to Dad when I get home."

Gao Song and Li Minghui climbed up and down, and spent an afternoon rearranging the display shelves of modern porcelain on the first floor, replenishing some new items, and adjusting the order of the original items.Xiao Qu and Miao Miao are helping. Miao Miao has been in contact with modern porcelain before, and they have a common language with Gao Song and the others.

Yan Qing was looking at her small ledger to check what other treasures she had in her hand that could hold the scene.His hobbies are quite mixed. When he ran around with He Mao before, the things he collected were messy. Although there were many types, there were not many real treasures.They don't have the financial resources either.At present, apart from a pair of Qing Yongzheng bean and green glazed sky ball bottles that He Mao put in the bank safe, there is really nothing to support the scene.But he is not going to sell this thing, firstly, He Mao is very precious, and secondly, Yanqing is not happy that his shop does not even have a treasure of the town.

Oh, by the way, there is also the family heirloom ivory set of fish head.But this thing is not allowed to be bought and sold in the country, so it doesn't make much sense.Forget it, it can be used as a sign anyway.

Yan Qing began to reflect on whether he had been too extravagant recently. The wealth brought by Yutou and the money lost by the Cheng family were all used by him to settle down and buy real estate, and he did not save any money to add anything to the store. .I obviously opened an antique shop, but the turnover of modern porcelain accounted for the majority.

It can't go on like this.

Yan Qing began to ask how much money she had left.There are also some miscellaneous small collections in his store, such as locks from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and makeup boxes from the Republic of China. Do you want to get a discount on such worthless things as soon as possible?

Xiao Qu ran over holding the buzzing phone, "Little Boss, your phone."

It was Mr. Pei who called, saying that he was drinking tea with some old friends in "Hanxiang Pavilion". These people are all well-known calligraphers and painters, and they also have a lot of research on antiques, so Yan Qing hurried over.

Yan Qing naturally agreed, but when she put down the phone, she felt a little suspicious. Pei Rong had already told his family that he wanted to chase him, and Mr. Pei didn't have any thoughts on this matter?

Yan Qing called Pei Rong and told him that Mr. Pei wanted to see her.Pei Rong also felt that this matter was not that simple, maybe his parents' intentions were involved in it.

"Probably want to find out what you say," Pei Rong pondered for a while, thinking that this possibility is still very high.

Yan Qing couldn't help feeling a little panicked, "Then I..."

"No matter what he hints, just pretend you don't understand." Pei Rong told him, "I have a plan here, don't be a hero, and mess up the plan for me later."

Yan Qing was amused by him, "Then I'll say: Take care of your child, I'm not interested in him!"

Pei Rong laughed, and lowered his voice to tease him again, "We don't need to tell them, just tell me alone, is it interesting or not?"

Yan Qing's ears were hot, and he coughed twice unnaturally, "Go to your class well, and I will report to you about the meeting when I get back."

"Okay." Pei Rong said with a smile: "Remember to stay calm and don't reveal anything. Don't destroy my plan! Let me tell you, my plan is very strict, so don't be soft-hearted. Take down my desk!"

Yan Qing was helpless, "I know."

Pei Rong gave a lot of advice, and then reluctantly hung up the phone.

Two of the people who got together to drink tea with Mr. Pei were his colleagues from the university back then, and the rest were acquaintances from the Painting and Calligraphy Association.Yan Qing likes to listen to them talk, because every time it is quite rewarding.He didn't go to college, he only knows the family secret skills passed down by word of mouth, and most of what he knows is knowledge related to ancient culture.Listening to the conversations of these profound old professors, he even felt like he was in class.

Mr. Pei and his group also liked Yanqing very much, and felt that the child was respectful and neither arrogant nor impatient.Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people who can get down to learn this knowledge. Mr. Pei also discussed with his old colleagues to find a way to get a certificate for Yan Qing, so that he can go to school to attend lectures when he is free.When Mr. Pei had this idea just now, he planned to let Yan Qing follow the path of special recruits, and systematically graduate from university.Yan Qing is still very good at identification, and has a lot of relevant knowledge. It shouldn't be too difficult to do it after going through the relationship.But later, I saw that he not only had to take care of the business in his own shop, but also had to deal with other things in the work shed. It was not realistic to stay in school 24 hours a day, so I decided to give him the next best thing, and wanted him to take time to go to school by himself. listen in.

Yan Qing listened to several old people discussing how to apply for this certificate for him, and discussing that the professor's class was worth listening to, and his feelings were really complicated.

Mr. Pei was really kind to him, beyond his imagination.He didn't hold back at all because he didn't grow up with him since he was a child. It can be said that he has put far more thought into himself than Pei Rong.But now he wants to join hands with his grandson to coax him...

Yan Qing was so guilty that she couldn't help herself for a while.

It was almost dinner time when he came out of the teahouse, Yan Qing knew that Mr. Pei must have something to tell him, so he simply took the initiative to create an opportunity for him, so as not to embarrass the old man.

"Uncle," Yan Qing took Lao Pei's arm to discuss with him, "I haven't seen you for a long time, let me treat you to dinner."

Pei Lao glared at him, "You young people always like to eat out. Didn't you read the newspaper saying that the food outside is not nutritious? There are additives in the seasoning, and that oil..."

Yan smiled lightly and said, "Once in a while, it's okay to change the taste. Let's not eat fast food fried food, find an old restaurant and have some soup, okay?"

Mr. Pei hesitated for a moment, he was actually thinking about how to talk about Pei Rong with Yanqing.Eating together seems like a good idea, too.The important thing is that it sounds natural to talk about people they both know at the dinner table.

"There is a restaurant over there," Yan Qing said, "I remember they have Lao Ya Tang. Lao Ya Tang is okay, it clears heat and relieves heat, and it is also nutritious." As he spoke, he dragged Mr. Pei and walked over.

When they arrived a little early, there were not many guests in the restaurant.The two found a quiet seat, and while waiting for the food, Mr. Pei asked him nonchalantly, "What have you been up to lately? I heard from Xiao Rong that the two of you have changed your name?"

Yan Qingxin said that he finally came, nodded and said: "The surname has been changed. Our two brothers have no blood relationship with the Murong family, and now they have been expelled. We should change it."

Mr. Pei also had some understanding of the affairs in the antique world, and felt that the Murong family had been quite ostentatious in recent years, and their reputation in the industry was not very good, so he nodded and said, "It's good to change it. It's called Yanqing?"

Yan nodded lightly, "The place where our biological parents live is called Dayan Mountain."

Knowing that both he and Xiao Liu were adopted children by Murong's family, Mr. Pei couldn't help guessing that the two brothers must have inquired about their backgrounds secretly, and immediately felt that they were both very pitiful.

"Is there anyone else with my parents?"

Yan shook his head lightly, with a sad expression, "It's all gone."

Mr. Pei sighed, and patted the back of his hand lightly, "Brothers, at least there is a mutual dependence. After we get married, life will be fine. Now it's not like we have taken root in this city Yet?"

Yan Qing hummed softly, "The household registration is also completed, and Brother Pei helped. I haven't thanked him properly yet."

When Mr. Pei heard him mention Pei Rong, he felt quite guilty for a moment.It's not easy for Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi, brothers. They have no parents and no mothers.Now it's so easy to live a more stable life, and unlucky enough to be targeted by my own brat...

Old Pei sighed again.He felt that the number of times he sighed in this month was more than in the previous half of his life combined, "Did Xiao Rong go to your place to make trouble a few days ago?"

Yan Qing was not sure about his attitude, so she could only show an embarrassed look, quietly waiting for the next words.

"This kid is a bit tricky," Mr. Pei looked at him earnestly, "Don't pay too much attention to it. We will persuade him too."

Yan Qingxin said that Pei Rong even made a plan, how can you persuade him.

Mr. Pei's expression was also quite worried, "Uncle told you this to ask you to be patient in dealing with this matter. Xiaorong is a child who is soft and not tough. If you confront him head-on, I'm afraid that he will More extreme."

Several question marks appeared on Yan Qing's forehead.What did Pei Rong tell his family?You don't really want to jump into the lake, do you?

"Persuasion slowly," said Mr. Pei, "give him some time and try to let him figure it out. Of course, if he really comes to you to play tricks, or destroy your relationship, uncle will not let it go." of."

Yan Qing understood, but felt uncomfortable.

Is it really the best choice to beat around the bush and compete with your family?But he declared that he did not accept women. This fact itself was a blow to his family. Either he tried to win the recognition of his family in a roundabout way like this, or he fought fiercely.No matter which method he uses to come out, the damage is inevitable.

Yan said with difficulty: "Brother Pei...is a very good person." Full of justice, brave and kind, his bright eyes always have a firm and warm light.No matter what the occasion, as long as he is there, Yanqing will not feel flustered.

Mr. Pei mistakenly thought it was a comforting word, sighed and nodded, "This child's nature is not bad, and somehow he became like this..."

Yan Qing didn't know how to persuade her.The main reason is that Pei Rong didn't tell him about his family's situation. The water was deep and the water was shallow. He was afraid that talking too much would really mess up Pei Rong's plan.He could only vaguely comfort Mr. Pei and said, "Don't worry, Brother Pei is not someone who doesn't know what to do. It will be fine."

Mr. Pei nodded helplessly, "I hope so."

The two were silent for a while, and Yan Qing asked him without words, "Would you like to go to Kaiwei's spring auction?"

"It depends." Mr. Pei is also a well-known calligrapher and painter in Binhai City, and is often invited to participate in similar activities.But this time, things at home were so bad that he really couldn't cheer up, "You can go and have a look, after all, Kaiwei's reputation is still good. But everything is not absolute, and the appraisers of the auction house are also blind." It’s time to take a closer look before making a move.”

The pair of blue and white goblets flashed through Yan Qing's mind, and he was a little dizzy.

"You know the situation in our industry," said Mr. Pei, "You can't trust the results of the machine appraisal. You must ask more questions and don't rush to act."

Yan lightly nodded and said, "I see."

The water in the antique industry is already deep, especially since one of Kaiwei's bosses is Murong's family, the situation here is even more difficult to say.
