Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 112 Matching
Xu Hesheng narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene.

He raised his hand to gesture to the scroll in his hand and said, "Huizhen, I brought the painting over. You can take a look."

As he spoke, he opened the painting.

Xu Huizhen waved her hand and said with a smile: "No need to open it, I don't understand this either."

Xu Hesheng smiled and said: "I want to exchange this painting for the painting in Mr. He's house. Look..."

Xu Huizhen pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment and said: "If I don't change it, I will put away everything the old man left behind when he was alive, just to keep it in my mind."

Xu Hesheng was taken aback for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay then, consider it all in vain."

As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hey, Teacher Xu, wait a minute." Xu Huizhen stopped him and said a little embarrassedly: "Since... you brought the painting today, and it was the painting that the old man liked when he was alive, I think... Teacher Xu shouldn't take it away anymore. , what do you think?"

"That's right." Fan Jinyou deliberately helped: "You keep saying that you are Mr. He's best friend during his lifetime, but this old man has just left and doesn't recognize anyone. This is inappropriate."

As he spoke, he reached for the painting in Xu Hesheng's hand.

Xu Hesheng glared at him, waved his hand to stop him, stroked the scroll and said, "Okay, since you said so, Huizhen, then I will give this painting to you."

Xu Huizhen smiled politely and said, "I can't ask for it in vain. I'll give you a month's worth of drinking money."

"No." Xu Hesheng said with some emotion: "This wine is a wine and a painting. You can exempt me from the wine money, but I am willing to give you this painting. This is not equivalent to exchange, right?"

Fan Jin smiled and said: "Hey, why do you think this educated man talks like this? It sounds sour!"

Xu Hesheng also tolerated him for a long time and said rudely: "Why are you everywhere? What does this have to do with you?"

Fan Jinyou curled his lips and waved his hands to not interrupt, so you continue.

Xu Huizhen said: "Thank you."

Xu Hesheng gently placed the painting on the table and said, "Huizhen, please put this painting away."

After saying that, he took a deep look at Xu Huizhen and reluctantly looked at the painting before turning around and leaving.

Fan Jinyou said in a cowardly manner: "Let's go slowly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Huizhen said: "Cadre Fan, it's time for you to leave, right?"

Fan Jinyou: "..."

"Ah..., um...I'll leave now, see you later."

Xu Huizhen said calmly: "See you later."

Xu Deyong saw all this in his eyes.

One pushed his fiancée, saw a better one, wanted to have both people and money, but was dismissed with a few words.

A Xiangzhuang danced with a sword with the intention of Pei Gong. Pei Gong was safe, but the sword was left behind.

Tsk tsk tsk, this wife is so smart!
Save worry, trouble and...effort?

No, not yet, just be a delicious prey by yourself first.

We are reliable, hard-working, capable, stable and heavy little fresh meat...!
Xu Huizhen slowly opened the painting and looked at it, then murmured: "Huang Binhong?"

Of course she doesn't understand, but Mr. He likes it, so it should be a good thing.

Huang Binhong lived to be more than 90 years old. He was a pioneering master in the history of modern art and one of the four famous masters of traditional Chinese painting in the [-]th century. He was known as "the best ink master through the ages" and "Northern Qi and Southern Huang".

Huang Binhong's artistic achievements are high, but his popularity among the people is not as good as that of Qi Baishi, or even Xu Beihong and Zhang Daqian.

Naturally, the value of the painting is relatively low.

However, this painting will still have hundreds of W's in future generations.

How about finding a girl like this to be your wife?

This wife is really capable...

Hey, she was lucky enough to meet me!

Xu Deyong said at this time: "I read an old newspaper and said that this old gentleman passed away last year. His paintings will definitely become more and more valuable in the future, and he can keep them as dowries for his daughter."

Xu Huizhen glanced at him in slight surprise and said, "Do you understand this?"

Xu Deyong shook his head and said: "I don't understand, but the trend has always been like this. The country will definitely get better and better. It is an antique in a golden age in troubled times."

Xu Huizhen nodded and said, "My father-in-law must have thought so too. He refused to sell any of his furniture, calligraphy and paintings before he died."

Xu Deyong said: "Mr. He has foresight..."

……

Xu Deyong was chatting with Xu Huizhen.Fan Jinyou caught up with Xu Hesheng outside, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Teacher Xu, I advise you to give up on Xu Huizhen."

Xu Hesheng said coldly: "Make way for you?"

Fan Jinyou smiled and said: "You're not giving me the way, I don't want to be your opponent, but you have to be self-aware!"

Xu Hesheng put down his arm and stopped: "Then please tell me, why am I not self-aware?"

Fan Jinyou said with a complacent expression: "Comparing the two of us, firstly, you have been married and I have never been; secondly, you are ten years older, so I have a clear advantage in this regard."

"This third... She just told me clearly that she likes me, but it's just that due to the filial piety period, it's not convenient to talk about these things."

Xu Hesheng said calmly: "Fan Jinyou, I never said that I like her, but I have the right to like her. Moreover, don't you think Xu Deyong who was in the courtyard just now is more threatening than me?"

Fan Jinyou's eyes flashed and he said: "Just him? What threat does a tricycle rider pose?"

Xu Hesheng raised his lips slightly and said, "He is younger than you and better looking than you."

Fan Jinyou: "..."

The muscles on his face twitched and he said: "It looks good but I can't eat it. I don't believe that I, a street cadre, can't compare to a tricycle rider!"

Xu Hesheng said: "Do you think Xu Huizhen is still worried about eating? Since ancient times, women have loved to be pretty. Even Wu Zetian, who became the emperor, was not immune to this custom. Wait until you win over Xu Deyong before you come to trouble me!"

After saying that, Xu Hesheng turned and left.

Fan Jinyou looked at his back and said, "Hey, I told you now, I will wait until you have no rights. Look at how I defeated that boy Xu Deyong."

Xu Hesheng said without looking back: "It doesn't matter what you say. I won't really have any rights until she tells me."

Fan Jinyou curled his lips when he heard this and said: "Huh, you still don't give up and want me to change the target?"

……

On the other side, Qiangzi was also thinking, and said to Cai Quanwu who was repairing the car: "Hey, Quanwu, what do you think of Xu Huizhen?"

Cai Quanwu said expressionlessly: "A first-class woman."

"That's right!" Qiangzi agreed with his face: "Why didn't I see it at first? What I said last night was awesome and admirable."

Cai Quanwu ignored him.

Qiangzi stepped forward again and said, "Hey, let me think about it, do you think she and I are worthy of each other?"

Cai Quanwu: "..."

He stopped moving and looked at him with his eyes wide open, as if he was looking at an idiot.

Then he said angrily: "I advise you to give up on this idea. You haven't seen that she looks down on people like Cadre Fan and Teacher Xu. On the contrary, I think there is a greater chance of mediocrity."

Qiangzi rolled his eyes when he heard this and said, "I got angry when I said this. If I had taken over Xu Huizhen's job of pulling drinks, I would probably be the one with a greater chance now!"

Cai Quanwu: "..."

Qiangzi continued: "Let me analyze it for you. Fan Jinyou fell in love with her because he wanted their family's property. Otherwise, why did he suddenly get rid of Yuping's matter? Who is Xu Huizhen? What is Fan Jinyou like? I can't hide it from her."

"Xu Hesheng, he has a bit of a temper towards Xu Huizhen. He is elegant and knowledgeable, and has a good job, but he is too old and not suitable."

Cai Quanwu said: "I think you are the most unsuitable."

Qiangzi ignored him and said to himself: "So, Xu Deyong, who is inconspicuous, is my biggest enemy."

Cai Quanwu couldn't help but said: "Go, go, pee on the wall and take a look at yourself. Look at you, you are also riding a three wheel. Can you compare with others?"

Qiangzi nodded, still full of confidence and said: "You are right, so I have to surpass him in terms of status. I will not ride a three-wheeler and switch to a transportation team. I will ask my dad to go back to his hometown in Hebei and sell the big house to raise funds." With some of the money, I can buy a few tricycles, and when I set up a transportation team, I will surpass Xu Deyong and match Xu Huizhen."

Hey, this is really a clever idea!

Cai Quanwu ignored him, stood up and said, "Let's go and get some help?"

"Hey!" Qiangzi said, "I've been talking for a long time, but you still haven't understood what I mean!"

"What do you mean?" Cai Quanwu asked.

Qiangzi said: "I'm talking about this car. I want to sell it and exchange it for a three-wheeled scooter."

Cai Quanwu was stunned for a moment and said, "Where's this one?"

Qiangzi said proudly: "No more, I, Qiangzi, will not pull the cart from today on. I want to match Xu Huizhen!"

Cai Quanwu looked at him speechlessly and said, "Okay, you go and get married, I'll do some work."

Qiangzi was left alone to think happily, and while thinking about it, he slapped his thigh and said with a smile to himself: "Hey, that's it..."
