Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager - Chapter 637

Zhao Qian and Li Wei told their seats. Zhao Qian presented the brocade to Tang Ze, and said, “Uncle Tang is not easy to come empty-handed when he meets for the first time. This is a little bit from the younger generation. I hope you can accept it. .”

Tang Ze took the brocade with a smile, and said politely: “For the guest, what other gifts do you bring. You are too far-sighted.”

Tang Ze said this, but opened the brocade in front of everyone.

The grass-green box is covered with a layer of royal blue flannel, and a folding fan lies on the flannel.

Tang Ze was a little surprised. He took out the fan and unfolded it in front of everyone. The white as new fan was painted with the pattern of “Rui Magpie with Branches”. Four lines of small print were also mentioned beside it, with a bright red seal.

This fan looks very new, not like an antique, but the calligraphy and painting on it are all first-class. This made Tang Ze feel very strange, so he paid attention to the words on the seal, which only had the word “Hengfang”. Tang Ze has never heard of who Hengfang is. See also this fan is a silk fan, white as snow. The fan bone is made of agarwood. Decorated with black lacquer and inlaid with snails. On the other side, there is a poem written in unicolor small letters like clouds and flowing water.

“The fan is a good fan, the painting is good, and the words are naturally good. They complement each other and are exquisite. But who is Hengfang?” Tang Ze questioned.

Zhao Qian stood up and replied modestly: “It’s just not talent.”

Tang Ze was stunned: “In other words, the calligraphy and painting on it are all painted by Mr. Zhao himself.”

Zhao Qian replied: “Yes, please don’t mind Boss Tang.”

Tang Ze laughed: “This fan is very good. I accepted it. Thank you for your kind gift.”

Li Wei watched from the side, and secretly said that Zhao Qian’s paintings and calligraphy were very famous when he was in Daqi. Zhao Qian was not willing to paint a picture when his sister asked so much. Now it is easy to send him more trouble than he thought, and it is easy to get closer to the Tang family. Looking at Tang Ze’s admiring eyes, you know that Zhao Qian is really good at figuring out people. But if he had such an ability at the beginning, they wouldn’t be so stalemate between the monarchs and his subjects.

Tang Shiyun also echoed at this moment: “It is said that Mr. Zhao is very good at acting, but he did not expect that you are a master of calligraphy and painting, and Li Wei is really a pair.”

Li Wei said to the side: “I haven’t painted for a long time. I’m so strange that I can’t get it.”

Shiyun called Li Wei out, and the servant brought the fruit. Shiyun helped Li Wei cut the apples while chatting with her: “When I told my dad that Mr. Zhao was coming to visit him, he was quite unhappy. I didn’t expect that Mr. Zhao’s would please him, which is really surprising.”

“Furthermore, he is top-notch.”

Shiyun felt that Li Wei’s belly seemed to be a little bigger, and she couldn’t help but asked worriedly: “The month is old, now it is very inconvenient to move?”

“Yeah, I just wanted to be able to unload the goods as soon as possible. But my mother said that it should be easier when he is in the belly. After he comes out, he will never worry about it all his life.”

Shiyun smiled and said: “That’s what I said, but after he comes out, your body will feel better? Is it a boy or a girl? Have you checked it out?”

Li Wei shook his head: “The doctor who gave me a B-ultrasound refused to tell me, and I am too embarrassed to ask more.”

“I think whether you are a man or a woman, you can inherit the excellent genes of both of you, and you will definitely be an outstanding person in the future.”

Having talked about the child in Li Wei’s belly, Li Wei naturally shifted the topic to Shiyun and Jianbo.

“Can you and my second brother meet once in a few days?”

Shi Yun said, “I haven’t seen him since the last time we went.”

“If you don’t meet, then you have to make a call, right?”

Shiyun nodded and said, “Talk once every two or three days.”

Li Wei sighed and said: “This is still in the same city, less than half an hour’s drive and there are so few contacts. It’s not like you are in love at all.”

Shi Yun said helplessly: “Is there any way, everyone has their own business to be busy, and there is not so much free time to spend on love.”

Li Wei asked again: “What do you plan to do next? Uncle does not recognize you?”

“More than disapproval, he has asked me to go out on a blind date.”

When Li Wei heard that he was a little anxious: “Then you agreed?”

“How is it possible? If I agree, you won’t let you over. Li Wei, I have paid 100% of my heart to this relationship.”

Tang Shiyun’s love is naturally heavy and beyond doubt. The problem now lies with Li Jianbo. If he is still indifferent, the relationship will die sooner or later.

The two were chatting in the living room, and it didn’t take long before they heard a hearty laugh from the study.

Shiyun looked surprised: “This Zhao Qian is really amazing. My father hasn’t been as happy as he is now in a long time.”

Later, Tang Ze took the initiative to leave Zhao Qian and his wife at home for dinner. At the dinner table, Tang Ze still talked to Zhao Qian about some interesting things he had encountered.

Zhao Qian is even more witty, and his eloquence is really good.

Li Wei looked at the secret road aside, he could really blow.

Tang Ze also talked about his own experience when he collected a certain treasure: “At that time, I was young, and I met an honest farmer when I went to the countryside. He told me that there was a treasure hidden in the house. Coming down. Asked me to go to see the goods at his house. The time was chosen at night, and finally I took a flashlight and passed. The old man carefully invited the baby out from under the bed. It was a colorful jar of some years. He Tell me that it has a history of nearly 500 years. If I like it, give me a price and let me take it away. At that time, I was young, and soon after I was in contact with the collection, I would naturally see that everything is a treasure. The farmer said he would give me a price. In the end, I still bought it for 500 yuan. It was 500 yuan in seven years, think about it, how much it should be now.”

Shi Yun smiled and said, “The farmer is also good at doing business, with a year history of one dollar. But how come I have never seen the jar you mentioned, Dad?

“I broke it myself!”

Everyone was shocked when he said this.

Li Wei puzzled and said: “That’s a few years old, 500 yuan in exchange. Uncle, you are really willing.”

“What are you reluctant to do? I can count as paying 500 yuan in tuition. I bought the jar and asked someone to identify it a year later and told me that it was a forgery. At that time, I was angry and hated, and gave him it in anger. I fell. Later, your mother didn’t say anything less about this. At that time, the idea was simple. How could the peasants lie to me honestly. It turns out that I was still fooled.”

However, this jar did not seem to teach Tang Ze a lesson. After that, he still paid a lot of tuition fees. Nowadays, although I have become more cautious when receiving things, I will inevitably be deceived.
