1727 isn't perfect
Alas, what a dead eye, where to find such a good opportunity! Wang Baoyu said unwillingly: "There are many paintings at home, all of which are better than this, you can take a look at them casually." ”
"To be honest, it's not perfect." Li Keren said something that made Wang Baoyu almost faint, this eldest sister is really brain-filled, this is called Qinggao!
Wang Baoyu was extremely regretful, and Tom asked again: "Then do you have a perfect painting here?" ”
"Absolutely!" Li Keren said arrogantly, got up and went over to open the safe, Wang Baoyu secretly screamed in his heart, and wanted to step forward to stop it, but it was too late, Li Keren had already taken out the picture of Yan Liben's lady.
When Tom saw this painting, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "It's amazing, I want to buy this painting no matter how much it costs." ”
"This painting must not be sold." Wang Baoyu hurriedly put it away, they are foreigners, the good things of the ancestors, and they must not fall into the hands of foreigners, that is a crime, and it is a betrayal of the country.
"You can set the price, it's negotiable." Tom was not willing to give up.
"This one is too old and not perfect enough, wait until you find the perfect one." Wang Baoyu hurriedly rolled up the scroll and put it back in the safe.
Tom spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders to express great regret, but Ruth was calm and did not show surprise, probably because she could not read the famous paintings of ancient times.
Although Wang Baoyu and Li Keren are poor, they still invited two foreign friends to have lunch together, and the two of them didn't understand the chopsticks, so they started to grab the vegetables, and kept praising the delicious Chinese food, but Wang Baoyu was so disgusted that he could hardly eat it. Li Ke** couldn't stand it, so he gave the two of them a spoon, at least the food could be grasped without hands.
Through further understanding, Wang Baoyu learned that Tom is the owner of a foreign auction house with amazing assets, and Ruth is a student of the art academy and Tom's own sister.
Except for Wang Baoyu, the other three people do things that are related to art, and naturally they talk very happily, Ruth seems to be very interested in Wang Baoyu, and always touches Wang Baoyu's arm intentionally or unintentionally when eating, which makes him a little itchy.
I have never slept with a foreign girl, I don't know the geometry of the style, Wang Baoyu thought obscenely, and couldn't help but think of the scenery under Ruth's skirt, Ruth, who had drunk wine, had a red face and blue eyes looking at Wang Baoyu, revealing a little tenderness.
"I like Chinese men, they are all gentle, delicate and clean." Ruth said generously.
"Hehe, we men also like foreign girls and have hot bodies." After a piece of familiarity, Wang Baoyu also became open-mouthed.
"I heard that men in your country love their wives very much, is it true?" Ruth asked curiously.
"Of course, most of China's good men can become models in the world!" Wang Baoyu was not ashamed.
"Wang Baoyu, do you have a girlfriend?" Tom asked.
"Yes, several!" Wang Baoyu joked, causing Li Keren to glare at him fiercely.
"In your country, it's called amorous, isn't it?" Ruth chuckled.
"Chinese emperors have many girlfriends." Tom said again as an expert.
"That was in ancient times, and today's China is monogamous, and husbands and wives have to be loyal to each other." Li Keren couldn't help but interject.
"May we be good friends." Tom interrupted the conversation and raised his glass.
The four of them had a drink, and Wang Baoyu asked with interest, "Two, how long are you going to stay here?" ”
"Six months." Tom said.
"What are you doing in Pingchuan City?" Wang Baoyu asked suspiciously.
"We want to open an auction house, and we have to conduct a detailed investigation." Tom said, Wang Baoyu keenly saw from his eyes that this sentence was not the truth, but what people did had nothing to do with him, so Wang Baoyu didn't ask more.
"Tom, I don't care what you do, I'm here to travel." Ruth said.
"Then you can have fun, there are a lot of tour guides." Tom said.
"Wang Baoyu, take me to play!" Ruth said to Wang Baoyu very seriously, "I think you are very interesting and cultured. ”
Wang Baoyu was very happy to hear it, but he didn't agree, and said, "I still have to set up a stall to make money!" "He's planning to set up a stall in another place, and it's best not to let Linlin or Xiaoyue find out.
"If taking my sister out to play has affected your business, we can compensate for it. Wang Baoyu, five hundred a day, how? Tom generously held out five fingers.
Five hundred dollars, equivalent to four thousand dollars a day, is worth it! However, to do business, you have to learn to bargain, Wang Baoyu pretended to hesitate, shook his head and said: "Go out with me, I still have to drive as a driver, except for the gas money, it is better to earn more by divination." ”
"Then add another five hundred, and I will pay for the expenses incurred because of the play in the middle. Not bad for money! Tom said, dragging a Chinese proverb.
Wang Baoyu immediately agreed, and patted his chest and said that he knew the tourist attractions and customs of Pingchuan City very well, and promised to make Ruth happy.
Ruth seemed very happy, drank a few more glasses, and agreed to come to Wang Baoyu tomorrow, and the two gringos left Li Keren's house satisfied.
"Eldest sister, didn't you say that the painting should be kept secret?" Waiting for them to leave, Wang Baoyu couldn't help but complain.
In fact, Li Keren also regretted it, and said: "Alas, I just have a hot brain, and I want to show off to foreigners that our ancestors also have good things." ”
"If this thing gets out, we won't have a good life, and we will definitely attract thieves." Wang Baoyu said.
"Why don't I hide somewhere else?" Li Keren said uneasily.
"Where to hide?"
Li Keren pondered for a long time and said, "How is his grandfather every day?" ”
"Don't, I think that old man likes to show off more than you!" Wang Baoyu hurriedly waved his hand to deny.
"Otherwise, I won't go out for the next two days, and those two foreigners are also experts, and they can't understand it at all, and they want to buy my painting, but they haven't finished it at all." Li Keren said nonchalantly.
"Really?" Wang Baoyu asked in surprise.
"Of course! Otherwise, I won't sell it to them, and I won't know how to cherish it in their hands. Li Keren explained.
"It's for the best." Wang Baoyu relaxed a little, these two paintings are his lifeblood, and he would rather donate them than fall into the hands of thieves. But there is also a little doubt, to say that Tom doesn't understand, didn't Ruth study art? Why didn't she even see it? Could it be that foreign universities are just like that?
The next day, Ruth called as promised, and the voice was very sweet about Wang Baoyu to meet in front of the Kunlun Hotel, Wang Baoyu packed up, drove his Mercedes-Benz car, and rushed over very happily, a thousand dollars a day, happy!
