During the meal, Lu Zhouxing tasted a bite of braised pork, but felt that the taste was excellent, so he nodded again and again, knowing that his daughter couldn't make it, but he still deliberately asked: "Manman, you are married, and your skills have also grown, this braised pork is really good, fat but not greasy, and the taste is moderately sweet and salty, well, very good." Lu Qingman said: "This is not made by me, it is made by Xiao Rui, hehe, is it delicious? I haven't tasted it yet, I will taste it too." ”

Lu Zhouxing said to Li Rui: "Xiao Rui can still cook?" Li Rui said modestly: "Can you cook a few home-cooked dishes." ”

Li Jianmin interjected: "Xiaorui's mother went early, our father and I depend on each other, he can cook very early, I remember that it seems to be when he was in the third grade of primary school, he will cook noodles." ”

Lu Zhouxing praised: "Xiao Rui is a good boy and has been sensible since he was a child. After speaking, he said: "But I still have to say, Xiao Rui, why did Mencius say that the gentleman is far away from cooking? This is not simply to warn the gentleman to kill less, there is a deeper truth in it." As a manly husband, you have to break out and make a big career outside. But if you are busy in the kitchen all day long, where can you see the vast world outside? How can you supplement your knowledge and knowledge? How can you work hard to make a career? Therefore, you should stay less in the kitchen in the future, and leave the kitchen affairs to Manman. ”

Li Rui nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Dad, I remember what you said, speaking of which, now that I am so busy with work, I don't have time even if I want to cook." Lu Zhouxing said: "It's not just about cooking, this sentence is also teaching people not to be distracted, you can slowly understand it in the future." Tonight is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, we don't preach, hehe, come on, everyone holds wine glasses, touches a glass, let's have a family carnival!"

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight is the first Chinese New Year's Eve meal that Li Rui ate after integrating into the Lu family, and it is also one of the most memorable Chinese New Year's Eve meals in this life. The significance of this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is that not only he himself has integrated into the Lu family, but the entire Li family is also closely linked to the Lu family. For the development of two families and the reproduction of two families, it is a milestone-like breakpoint.

After Lu Zhouxing and Yu Hongwei left, Li Jianmin happily said to Lu Qingman: "I didn't expect your father to be so approachable. Lu Qingman said: "He is the governor of the provincial government, and he is an ordinary person at home, so you don't need to treat him as a governor." Li Jianmin asked: "Don't you and Xiaorui go to live with him at night?" Lu Qingman smiled: "He doesn't have to accompany him, and we can't accompany him, there are a lot of official affairs waiting for him to be busy." He generally doesn't even care about watching the Spring Festival Gala. Li Jianmin said with emotion: "That's what I said, in fact, he also wants you to accompany him." The older this person gets, the more he wants his children to be by his side......"

Lu Qingman was stunned when he heard this, the smile on his face condensed, and then slowly changed to a look of shame and looked at Li Rui. Li Rui understood her thoughts when he saw her expression, and said, "Otherwise, let's go to the provincial party committee compound and accompany my father for the New Year." Lu Qingman's face showed sadness again. Li Rui knew what she was worried about, if the two of them went to accompany Lu Zhouxing, then who would accompany his father Li Jianmin? After thinking about it, he said: "I didn't tell my dad tonight, so let's live at home first, and wait for tomorrow, the night of the first day of the new year, and then go to accompany my father, okay?" Lu Qingman nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, it's decided." ”

The husband and wife had already made an appointment with Gao Zixuan to play together, and after watching the Spring Festival Gala with Li Jianmin for a while, they washed up and drove to Gao Zixuan's house.

Although Li Rui had been to Gao Zixuan's house once, it was a private affair, and he could only pretend not to know the road in front of Lu Qingman, not to mention that he was not very familiar with the roads in the provincial capital, so he drove all the way through the guidance of Lu Qingman.

When the two came to Gao Zixuan's house, a few friends had already arrived first, but they were all women, about the same age as Gao Zixuan, and looking at the clothes, it was estimated that they were all figures in the provincial capital. Among these girls, Lu Qingman only knows one of them, Li Rui doesn't know half of them, and Gao Zixuan has to give a brief introduction to the two.

These girls, either born beautiful, or dressed up the day after tomorrow, in short, they are all beauties, if Li Rui encounters any of them outside, he will feel that his eyes will shine, but now that they are standing with Gao Zixuan, they can only be helplessly reduced to green leaves. It's not that they're not beautiful enough, it's that the tall lady is too beautiful.

After everyone got to know each other, they chatted briefly, and Gao Zixuan said to Li Rui: "Didn't you want to visit my treasure pavilion earlier?" Lu Qingman hugged her husband's arm affectionately and said, "I'll go too." ”

Li Rui found that after Gao Zixuan heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she seemed to be very helpless, so she couldn't help but want to laugh.

Gao Zixuan's so-called Treasure Pavilion is actually just a room on the second floor. This room is converted from a bedroom, and there is no furniture in the room, such as beds, tables and chairs, nothing else, just a multi-treasure pavilion and shop windows against the wall. In the middle of the room, there are also two old-fashioned tables of eight immortals, which are also full of various antique relics.

After she turned on the electric light in the house, Li Rui's eyes lit up, which was an eye-opener, not to mention the treasures in the Duobao Pavilion, just talking about the eight immortals on the table, there were red coral more than two feet high, a foot high jade Guanyin, one foot and a half long jade Ruyi, and all kinds of jade rough stones, the most eye-catching is a square red and yellow jade seal, the jade seal hovering above the knot I don't know whether it is a dragon or an ancient auspicious beast, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, under the reflection of the light, scattering a faint halo, which looks majestic and exciting.

Li Rui praised: "Good guy, you really have some treasures in this treasure pavilion!" After speaking, he walked to the table and went to get the jade seal. Lu Qingman hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Don't move." Li Rui turned around and smiled at her, and said, "What are you doing, are you still afraid that we can't afford to pay if I break her?" Lu Qingman was not worried that he couldn't afford to lose, but felt that all the treasures in this room were Gao Zixuan's treasures that he had spent countless efforts to find, and they should be cherished, even if they wanted to see it, they should be carefully watched, and they couldn't just reach out to take it if they looked like, it would probably damage the baby, and said, "You be careful, don't break it." ”

Gao Zixuan smiled behind the two of them: "It's okay if it's broken, if anyone breaks it for me, then sell yourself to pay it back." ”

Li Rui smiled and picked up the jade seal with both hands, feeling very heavy, and the texture did not know what it was, it seemed to have the greasy and slippery of jade, but there was no warmth of jade, the auspicious beast knife on the jade seal was simple but very expressive, from the eye to the end is lifelike, the jade seal turned over, the seal was engraved with six seal characters, and I couldn't recognize what the word was.

He turned his head and asked, "Zixuan, which dynasty did this jade seal belong to, and how much did it cost?" Gao Zixuan didn't answer the question, and said, "Which dynasty do you think it belongs to?" and how much is it worth?" Li Rui said: "It looks like it is ninety percent new, it should be left over from modern dynasties, such as the Ming and Qing dynasties." As for the price, where do I understand, but it won't be too cheap, five million, is there?" Gao Zixuan asked Lu Qingman again: "Sister Qingman, what do you think?" Lu Qingman shook his head and said: "I don't understand, but it looks very valuable, how can it cost more than five million, I think it's ten million." Gao Zixuan said lightly: "I bought it for 12 million." ”

Li Rui gasped and had a deeper understanding of the net worth of this "little wife".

Gao Zixuan looked at him and said, "It's a pity that I bought a fake." Li Rui was shocked again, and shouted: "Is this fake? 12 million, and you bought a fake one?" Gao Zixuan sighed and said, "This is what I bought from an auction in Hong Kong back then." The auction company said that it was the 'treasure of the Kangxi imperial pen' of the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and we don't understand it. At that time, I had just entered the collection business, and I didn't know anything, so I had two money in my hand, so I bought whatever treasure I encountered. The starting price was 5 million, and I was forced to raise it to 12 million, and then no one grabbed it from me, so I bought it as I wished. At that time, I thought I had picked up a big treasure, but when I returned to the provincial capital, a collector came to visit. He is a Chinese-American, surnamed Feng, who has traveled around major auction venues at home and abroad all the year round, and when he heard that I had come back from Hong Kong to take a jade seal, he wanted to watch it. I showed it to him, and he shook his head and sighed. I asked him what was wrong, and he said I had been tricked. ”

Li Rui said curiously: "How did he know that you let people deceive him?" Gao Zixuan said: "People are connoisseurs, they have been collecting for decades, and they have already seen countless treasures from major auctions, treasure halls, museums and private collectors at home and abroad, and they also have research on history, and to put it bluntly, they are experts and professors in the collection world." As soon as he saw the jade seal, he said it was a fake. I was not happy to hear it at the time, and I said in my heart that I bought more than 10 million treasures, why do you say that it is fake and it is fake? You have to tell me a reason, and if you can't say it, I won't agree. As a result, the one surnamed Feng gave me some reason, and when I heard it, hey, if you don't accept it, you can't do it, people know a lot. ”

Li Rui hurriedly asked: "What did he say?" Gao Zixuan said: "He said, he has an old friend in Shanghai, the father of the old friend helped the British Museum buy antiques in China during the Republic of China, the old man once told an anecdote, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, some 'laid-off' jade chisel masters in the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs specialized in privately carving jade seals for a living. These jade seals were purchased in large quantities by foreigners in China at the time. That's why there are so many jade seals on the market, and most of them come from abroad. He said, my jade seal is fake at first glance, because its button system does not match the Kangxi file of the manufacturing office. The real Kangxi Imperial Pen Baoyu Seal is the lion's head, and I made it into the dragon's head, which is the biggest flaw. ”
