Chapter 732: Selling Yourself to Repay

Guo Zhijiang laughed, patted her little hand, and said, "Haha, it's nothing, then we'll just wait." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Guo Maomao raised his head and asked, "Dad, do you like a girl or a boy?" Guo Zhijiang said with a smile: "Whether it's a girl or a boy, my mother and I like it." ”

Lin Xiaohu took the opportunity to say: "When the time comes, I will ask your parents to name your child." ”

During the meal, Guo Zhijiang tasted a bite of braised pork, nodded again and again, knowing that his daughter couldn't make it, but he still deliberately asked: "Maomao, 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." Guo Maomao said: "This is not made by me, it is made by Xiaohu, hehe, is it delicious?" I haven't tasted it yet, I'll try it too. ”

Guo Zhijiang said to Lin Xiaohu: "Xiaohu can still cook? Lin Xiaohu said modestly: "I can cook a few dishes." ”

Lao Huangtou interjected: "Xiaohu is in charge early, hard-working baby, he can cook very early, I remember that when he was in the fifth or sixth grade of primary school, he would cook a large family's meal." ”

Guo Zhijiang praised: "Xiaohu is a good boy! And he said: "But I still have to say, Xiaohu, why did Mencius say that the gentleman is far away from cooking?" This is not simply a warning to gentlemen 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 how to work hard to make a career? So, you have to stay less in the kitchen in the future, and leave the kitchen affairs to Maomao. ”

This made the Guo family's mother and daughter roll their eyes vigorously, and Lin Xiaohu was also secretly speechless, this father-in-law hasn't started drinking yet, why did he start bragging?

Lin Xiaohu nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Dad, I remember your words, speaking of which, now that I am so busy with work, I don't have time even if I want to cook." ”

Guo Zhijiang 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, everyone holds up the wine glass, 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 Lin Xiaohu has eaten since he integrated into the Guo 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 has he integrated into the Guo family, but the entire Lin family is also closely linked to the Guo family. For the development of two families and the reproduction of two families, it is a milestone-like breakpoint.

After Guo Zhijiang and his wife left, Lao Huangtou happily said to Guo Maomao: "I can't imagine that your parents are so approachable." ”

Guo Maomao said with a smile: "My parents are leaders in the unit, and they are ordinary people at home, so you don't have to treat them as big people." ”

The old yellow head asked, "Don't you and Xiaohu go to live with them at night?" Guo Maomao said with a smile: "They don't have to accompany them, and we can't accompany them, there are a lot of official affairs waiting for them to be busy." Sometimes they can't even take care of the Spring Festival Gala. The old yellow head said with emotion: "That is so, 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......"

Guo Maomao was stunned when he heard this, the smile on his face condensed, and then slowly changed to a look of shame and looked at Lin Xiaohu. Lin Xiaohu understood her thoughts when he saw her expression, and said, "Otherwise, let's go to the provincial party committee compound and accompany my parents for the New Year." ”

Guo Maomao's face showed sadness again. Lin Xiaohu knew what she was worried about, if the two of them went to accompany Guo Zhijiang, then who would accompany the old yellow head? After thinking about it, he said: "I didn't tell my parents 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 them, okay?" Guo Maomao nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, it's decided." ”

The husband and wife had already made an appointment with Xu Zhenzhen to play together, and after watching the Spring Festival Gala with Lao Huangtou for a while, they washed up and drove to Xu Zhenzhen's house.

Although Lin Xiaohu has been to Xu Zhenzhen's house a few times, it is a private affair, and he can only pretend not to know the road in front of Guo Maomao, not to mention that he is not very familiar with the roads in the provincial capital, so he drove all the way through Guo Maomao's guidance.

When the two came to Xu Zhenzhen's house, a few friends had already arrived first, but they were all women, about the same age as Xu Zhenzhen, and looking at the clothes, it was estimated that they were all figures in the provincial capital. Among these girls, Guo Maomao only knew one or two of them, and Lin Xiaohu didn't know half of them, so Xu Zhenzhen had to give a brief introduction to the two.

These girls, either born beautiful, or dressed up, in short, are all beauties, if Lin Xiaohu meets any of them outside, he will feel that his eyes are bright, but now that they are standing with Xu Zhenzhen and Guo Maomao, they can only helplessly become green leaves. It's not that they aren't beautiful enough, it's that Miss Xu and Miss Guo are too beautiful.

After everyone got to know each other, they chatted briefly, and Xu Zhenzhen said to Lin Xiaohu: "Didn't you want to visit my Treasure Pavilion earlier?" Walk. Guo Maomao hugged her husband's arm affectionately and said, "I'll go too." ”

Lin Xiaohu found that after Xu Zhenzhen 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.

Xu Zhenzhen's so-called Treasure Pavilion is actually just a room on the second floor. This room is a converted bedroom, and there are no beds in the room, only a set of windows and cultural relics 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, Lin Xiaohu's eyes lit up, which was an eye-opener, not to mention the treasures in the window, 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.

Lin Xiaohu 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. Guo Maomao hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Don't move." Lin Xiaohu turned around and smiled at her, and said, "What's the matter, are you afraid that we can't afford to pay for it if I break it?" Guo Maomao is not worried about not being able to afford to lose, but feels that the treasures in this house are all treasures that Xu Zhenzhen spent countless efforts to find, and they should be cherished, even if they want to see it, they must be carefully and carefully watched, and they can't say that they look like they like it, and they will probably damage the baby, and said: "You be careful, don't break it." ”

Xu Zhenzhen 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." ”

Lin Xiaohu smiled and picked up the jade seal with both hands, feeling very heavy in the hand, and the texture did not know what it was, it seemed to have the smoothness 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 tail is lifelike, the jade seal was 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, "Zhenzhen, which dynasty is this jade seal from?" How much did you buy it? Xu Zhenzhen didn't answer the rhetorical question, and said, "Which dynasty do you think it belongs to?" And how much is it worth? Lin Xiaohu said: "It looks like it is new, and 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's not too cheap, five million? Have it? Xu Zhenzhen asked Guo Maomao again: "Sister Maomao, what do you think?" Guo Maomao 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 is ten million." Xu Zhenzhen said lightly: "I bought it for 12 million." ”

Lin Xiaohu gasped, and had a deeper understanding of this little wife's net worth, or the Xu family.

Xu Zhenzhen looked at him and said, "It's a pity that I bought a fake." Lin Xiaohu was startled again and shouted, "This is fake? Twelve million, and bought a fake one? Xu Zhenzhen sighed and said, "This is what I bought from the Hong Kong auction back then." The auction company said that it was the Kangxi Emperor's 'treasure of the Kangxi imperial pen' of the Qing Dynasty, and we don't understand it, what people say. At that time, I had just entered the collection business, and I didn't understand anything, so I had two sassy 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. ”

Lin Xiaohu said curiously: "How did he know that you had been deceived?" Xu Zhenzhen said: "People are connoisseurs, people have been engaged in collecting for decades, and 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, to put it bluntly, they are experts and professors in the collection industry." 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 my heart said that I bought more than 10 million treasures, why do you say that it is fake is fake? You've got to give me a reason, and if you can't, I'm not going to 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. ”

Lin Xiaohu hurriedly asked, "What did he say?" Xu Zhenzhen said: "He said, he has an old friend in Shanghai, and his father helped the British Museum buy antiques in China when he was in the Republic of China. He once told an anecdote that 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. ”

Lin Xiaohu cried and laughed and said, "You didn't see such a big flaw? ”
