Before deciding who would accompany him to Beijing, Chen Wan first told Xu Kongshan about the matter. Although he knew that the hope was slim, he still wanted to ask Xu Kongshan if he could spare time.

Xu Kongshan's expression changed suddenly: "Director Du sent me and Chang Xueyi No. [-] to Beijing to attend a seminar."

"What a coincidence?" Chen Wan's surprise was beyond words, "Have you bought the ticket yet?"

"No, I'll buy them together tomorrow." Xu Kongshan stroked Chen Wan's hair, "Do you want to cut your hair?"

Chen Wan's hair was soft and smooth, and it felt so good when he stroked it. Xu Kongshan couldn't put it down recently.

"Don't cut it." Chen Wan shook her head, "It's warmer in winter."

Don't think he didn't notice, Xu Kongshan now touches his hair all the time, like stroking a cat.

Sure enough, Xu Kongshan's hand stopped for a moment, and then stroked it up again. Thanks to Chen Wan's hair loss, otherwise he would be bald sooner or later.

The time to go abroad is December No. 20. Clothes are only part of the red carpet makeup. The reason why Director Feng informed Chen Wan to come to Beijing before the [-]th is to meet with the styling team and discuss their red carpet looks together. .

In Chen Wan's memory, none of the three major film festivals were held in December, and he had never heard of the name of the film festival that Director Feng mentioned, but judging by the importance that Director Feng attached to it, it seemed that it was not ordinary.Chen Wan thought about it for a while, and blamed it on the deviation of the parallel world.

Before leaving, Chen Wan went to a small restaurant and asked Zhou Mei if she had anything to bring. He was leaving from Beijing, so he could stop by to see Chen Xing and the sisters.

Zhou Mei wove gloves and hats for her two daughters. The temperature in Beijing can drop below zero in winter. When Chen Xing was a freshman, his hands and feet got sores. I don't know how Chen Lu adapted.

The business of the restaurant was booming, Zhou Mei had a lot more money, and she took a bunch of money tickets, and asked Chen Wan to pass them on to the sisters, telling them to eat well, spend the money, and don't be too frugal.

Xu Kongshan bought a sleeper ticket for the same compartment. At [-]:[-] am on the [-]rd, Wang Lian drove them to the train station. The suitcases were too big to fit in the trunk of a car from a pharmaceutical factory, so an off-road vehicle would work.

Chen Wan had heard Xu Kongshan mention Chang Xueyi, but this was the first time they had met each other. Apparently, Chang Xueyi had also heard about Chen Wan. Without Xu Kongshan's introduction, he stretched out his hand and said that he had long admired his name.

The two are good at different fields and have no common topics, but with Xu Kongshan's mediation, they can chat together.

The berths were divided into upper, middle and lower berths. Chen Wan and Chang Xueyi's tickets were for the lower berths. Xu Kongshan put his luggage under the beds on both sides, sat on the edge of Chen Wan's berth, and chatted with Chang Xueyi across the table.

Among the three, only Xu Kongshan has never been to Beijing. As a local who has lived in Beijing for decades, Chang Xueyi said that he must take them to taste the characteristics of Beijing when he has time.

Chang Xueyi unconsciously transferred the topic to the seminar. Chen Wan couldn't understand the proper nouns they were talking about, so she lowered her head and dozed off. Seeing this, Xu Kongshan put down the pillow and asked Chen Wan to lie down, which was more comfortable.

In the compartment, the sound of the train running on the rails was mixed with human voices. Chen Wan secretly grabbed the hem of Xu Kongshan's back and fell asleep peacefully. He was woken up by Xu Kongshan when he was eating at noon.

The conductor pushed the dining car between the carriages, and the man in the middle shop opposite asked the price, and immediately gnawed on the steamed bun with a painful expression on his face. Xu Kongshan asked Chen Wan for his opinion, and ordered fried pork with sour cowpea and pork ribs with soybeans And potato shreds, which attracted the men's frequent glances.

After dinner, Chen Wan fell asleep, leaning against the head of the bed to draw pictures, Xu Kongshan continued to chat with Chang Xueyi about research, the inexplicable academic atmosphere filled the entire carriage, and the others restrained their movements involuntarily, for fear of offending them if they didn't pay attention .

The sky outside the window was gradually getting dark, Chen Wan took a simple wash and climbed onto Xu Kongshan's middle bunk, and Xu Kongshan slept underneath so that he could guard the priceless treasure under the bed.

The train slowly entered the platform, Xu Kongshan put his luggage on his back, refused Chang Xueyi's help, carried two large boxes in each hand, and walked ahead to open the way, Chen Wan followed him out of the platform with a small box.

"Liuer, wait a minute." Both the organizer of the seminar and Director Feng sent people to pick up the station. Xu Kongshan discussed with Chang Xueyi and the staff of the organizer in a low voice. Chang Xueyi nodded, and Xu Kongshan Returning to Chen Wan's side, "I'll take you to Director Feng first."

The old acquaintance Wang Liang was picked up at the station, and Chen Wan greeted him: "This is my brother, Xu Kongshan."

"Hello, hello." Wang Liang graciously took the two boxes in Xu Kongshan's left hand, "Is the dress you made inside?"

"Yes, what you are holding belongs to Mr. Lu, so be careful." Chen Wan's words made Wang Liang's skin tense, and he increased his strength in his hands, as if what he was holding was not a dress, but fragile porcelain worth thousands of dollars. .

Carefully putting the suitcase into the trunk, Wang Liang heaved a sigh of relief, and after unlocking the seal, he immediately recovered his nature of chatterbox.

According to Wang Liang, Director Feng found them a courtyard house near the studio. The higher ups valued this foreign film festival very much. Gui Xiuyong, who was in charge of makeup, was a recognized master in the industry and lived in Haishi often. In the past two and a half years, he has been retired and does not leave the mountain easily.

"I've seen that courtyard house, and you're satisfied with how it's kept. We've arranged a welcome banquet tonight. Do you like roast duck?" Wang Liang's topic turned to Beijing's gourmet food, from roasted to crispy and oily, duck skin dipped in sugar. The excellent roast duck is served with white water as the base, dipped in sesame sauce and chive flowers, the tongue-smelling mutton, and then the big meat pie at Laoqianmen, a pie wrapped with two taels of beef, and the juice comes out when you bite it.

Chen Wan felt that Wang Liang was born in the wrong age, and that he would definitely become popular as a food blogger, making even a not-so-gluttonous person greedy.

"Chen Wan, sit in the car for a while. Teacher Gui's train arrives at three o'clock. I'll pick them up later and let's go together." Wang Liang said, got out of the car with a welcome sign, and trotted all the way through the crowd. inside.

After about ten minutes, Wang Liang turned back alone. He apologized to Chen Wan and said sorry: "Ms. Gui's train is half an hour late, so I have to trouble you to wait a little longer."

The journey from the train station to the studio took nearly four to ten minutes, and it was too late to drop off Chen Wan and come back to pick him up.Fortunately, Xu Kongshan has no other plans today, so wait as long as you want, it's not a big deal.

The meeting between Chen Wan and Gui Xiuyong was a little embarrassing. Gui Xiuyong's assistant mistook Xu Kongshan for the driver, and the first sentence he opened his mouth was: Come here and get our luggage.

"I'll come." Wang Liang hurriedly put the box on, he didn't dare to bother Xu Kongshan, "Let me introduce, this is Mr. Chen Wanchen from Nancheng..."

In private, Wang Liang could directly address Chen Wan by his name, but in front of outsiders, he still called him Teacher Chen so that others would not take Chen Wan lightly.

The assistant was stunned on the spot. The young man in front of him was actually Chen Wan?

Gui Xiuyong was also surprised for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and praised the young man for fear.Seeing that they got along fairly well, Wang Liang felt relieved and went to the driver's seat to drive.

Xu Kongshan was tall and sat in the co-pilot. Gui Xiuyong was exhausted in the car. After chatting with Chen Wan for a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep. It was his assistant who kept watching secretly, as if he wanted to stare at Chen Wan.

The car stopped outside the courtyard, and before entering the door, Chen Wan saw the magnolia tree in the courtyard that was higher than the roof.The flowering period of magnolia is in spring, and the leaves fall off in winter, revealing the bare trunk. If Wang Liang hadn't said it was magnolia, Chen Wan and the others wouldn't have recognized it at all.

After passing through the gate, there are three sets of rooms in the middle and east and west, which are more than enough for a few of them. Chen Wan chose the west wing, and Wang Liang helped Xu Kongshan carry the dress in.

The quadrangle courtyard is built in an antique style, with exquisite carvings on the porch and window frames. The wooden wardrobe and the canopy bed against the wall have a modern atmosphere, which should be newly added after the original quadrangle was evacuated.

Chen Wan opened the window of the wing room to let in the air. A few unknown shrubs were planted on both sides of the path paved with green bricks. Like the magnolia, they had lost all their leaves, and the species could not be seen clearly.It is not easy to see some greenery in Beijing in winter.

"Where does Mr. Xu live, I'll see you off." Wang Liang felt sorry for delaying Xu Kongshan's time.

Xu Kongshan had just arrived, and it was really inconvenient for him to be alone. Hearing this, he was not polite to Wang Liang and gave a place name.

"I know this place. It's not far away, and the No. [-] bus at the door can go directly to it." Wang Liang had already learned from the conversation that Xu Kongshan was coming to Beijing to attend a seminar and would stay for two weeks, so he showed him the way.

When Wang Liang drove the car around the corner, Xu Kongshan's hand stretched out of the window disappeared from sight. Chen Wan turned back to the west compartment, took out the dress and hung it up.

Even though folding was minimized during the packing process, creases inevitably appeared on the dress. The silk thread could not withstand high temperature ironing, and Chen Wan flattened it gently, sweating a lot from the busy winter.

Director Feng was careful and prepared very well. All daily necessities were complete, the house was warmed by burning earth dragons, and there was a landline in the main hall. It was in line with Wang Liang's words that Chen Wanhui was satisfied with the custody.

"Is this the dress you prepared?" Wang Liang quickly sent Xu Kongshan to the courtyard and returned to the courtyard. He knocked on the door, but Chen Wan probably didn't hear it, "It's so beautiful."

Chen Wan straightened the hem of her skirt, and there was a voice from the yard, it seemed that three people were talking, "Is it Director Feng and the others?"

"Yes, did you forget the reception banquet tonight." Wang Liang walked out with Chen Wan while talking, "You really don't need an assistant? How about I find one for you?"

Chen Wan declined Wang Liang's kindness. He was young and didn't need the help of an assistant.Director Feng and Gui Xiuyong were talking under the magnolia tree, and Chen Wan stopped under the porch to wait for them to finish talking.

Out of the corner of Director Feng's eyes, he saw Chen Wan's figure. He stopped talking and took two steps forward, "I'm sorry, something happened suddenly this afternoon."

Gui Xiuyong was talking about the matching of makeup and dresses, Chen Wan could hear clearly, and led them into the west chamber sideways.

There are four rooms in the West Wing. The dresses are in the outer room. Across the screen, six sets of dresses come into view. The air seems to condense instantly. Even though Director Feng and the others have seen the design drawings, they are still so shocked that they lose their words when facing the real thing.

"Chen Wan, you are indeed a genius." Director Feng couldn't help laughing, he patted Chen Wan's shoulder excitedly, obviously extremely satisfied.

Gui Xiuyong praised three good words in a row, and made no secret of his praise for Chen Wan. He quickly walked closer to the dress, and couldn't wait to appreciate the details. The reception banquet was completely forgotten by the two of them.

"Do you want to try Director Feng?" Seeing that Director Feng couldn't put it down, Chen Wan made a gesture to unbutton his suit.

"No, no, no." Director Feng waved his hands again and again, "I ran outside all day, don't get my clothes dirty."
