Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 129 Lou Xiaoe is so lucky
  The best belly-popping restaurant is still Niujie. At this time, Niujie was also called Niuyang Street, Pomegranate Garden, and Beef Alley.

At first, it mainly sold cattle, sheep and livestock, and gradually formed a snack street.

At this time, there are only two or three restaurants selling Baoduman, but the best business is Baoduman.

If you don't come before twelve o'clock, then there's no need to go. You won't be able to get in line before one o'clock.

It was eleven o'clock when they set out and half past eleven when they arrived.

At this time, because the bell has not yet closed, there are still many seats in the store.

Li Xiuzhu and the others ordered several portions of tripe, including beef tripe, tripe kernels, powdered pills and the like.

Li Xiuzhu had never eaten anything other than Baiye, so he ordered three plates of Baiye, one plate of tripe kernels, and one plate of Yangsandan.

In the time it took to order, more and more people came to eat. The boss had just served three plates of blinds and there were no more empty seats.

"Brother, there are too many people here."

Li Xiuzhu hurriedly said: "Stop talking. It's best to eat this tripe while it's hot. It won't taste as good if it's too late."

Li Xiuzhu said as he picked up a chopstick full of beef louvers, dipped it in the dipping sauce and put it on Lou Xiao'e's plate, and then he also took a chopstick himself.

The fragrant Erba sesame sauce mixed with chili oil spreads in the mouth. It is fragrant but not spicy, has a mellow taste, and has a crunchy texture.

Seeing how delicious Li Xiuzhu's food was, Lou Xiao'e was also hungry, so she took a bite.

The next second, Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up and she started eating quickly.

The two of them quickly finished two dishes of hairy tripe before slowing down.

"Brother, this food is so delicious, why does my dad say only low-class people eat it?"

Li Xiuzhu looked awkwardly at the people around him when he heard this, and all of them suddenly turned their heads as if they had made a mistake.

Li Xiuzhu smiled helplessly. It was not his fault and he wanted to apologize.

But that’s how it is in this era, the low-class people are the low-class people and they are inferior to others.

Li Xiuzhu saw that everyone turned their heads and did not speak again. Instead, he said to Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, don't talk about the third-rate and the ninth-rate in the future. We are all human beings. The only difference is whether our ancestors are prosperous or not."

"We have entered a new society, and we should not have the bad habits of the old society."

Lou Xiao'e stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I understand."

After eating, Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Xiuzhu and asked, "Brother, where are we going now?"

"Brother will take you to meet someone. I haven't seen him for a long time."

Li Xiuzhu took people to No. [-] Wangfujing Wai Street.

Knocked on the door, and soon there was a voice from inside the door.

"Who?"

Li Xiuzhu responded: "Uncle Guan, it's me, Chen Xueru, her man."

After a while, the door of the courtyard opened. Uncle Guan glanced at Li Xiuzhu and said, "Have you finished reading the book? You have been reading for long enough."

As he spoke, his eyes kept staring at the white porcelain bottle in Li Xiuzhu's hand.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said: "I have been abroad recently, so I learned it after reading it."

"Didn't I just finish my work and come to see you and exchange some books?"

Uncle Guan did not answer Li Xiuzhu's words, but asked: "What kind of wine is this? Why haven't I seen anything like this before?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled and handed it over and said: "Maotai, most of the current ones come in jars."

"This porcelain bottle is a new model and has not been sold yet."

"It was brought out internally. I asked my connections to get you a bottle to try."

Uncle Guan smiled when he heard this. Apart from antiques, only wine was his favorite.

"Good boy, you've got your heart set on it."

"Go, go in and talk."

"It's a pity that I haven't prepared any food to accompany the wine. If there is a plate of peanuts now, we can have a sip. It would be so delicious."

As he spoke, Uncle Guan looked at Lou Xiao'e and continued to ask: "Did you bring this little guy here to learn art?"

Otherwise, people say that people are old and ghosts are old. After all, they have lived for more than forty years, and half of their purpose can be guessed at a glance.

"Yes, not quite."

"This is my little daughter-in-law Lou Xiao'e. I want to get to know you better."

When Uncle Guan heard this, he mocked: "You are really young. How dare you attack such a young girl?"

"If you don't teach, don't teach, you won't come here again."

Lou Xiao'e was immediately unhappy when she heard this.

"How can you, an old man, talk? It's me who likes my brother first, and you may not be as knowledgeable as me. I don't want to learn from you yet."

"Huh? You're not too petty, so tell me what you know?"

The old man was not so angry when he heard that Lou Xiao'e said he liked Li Xiuzhu first.

Lou Xiao'e heard this and said arrogantly: "Have you ever seen a bracelet made of the same material as Cixi and Lafayette's luminous pearls?"

"Have you seen the ivory concentric vase? Have you seen Wu Daozi's Eighty-seven Immortals Scroll? Have you seen Tang Bohu's picture of ladies?"

Li Xiuzhu was stunned.

"Xiao'e, have you seen the Eighty-seven Immortal Scrolls?"

There are not many paintings that he can appreciate. Apart from landscape paintings, his favorite is the Eighty-Seven Immortals Scroll. But isn't this painting like that of Xu Beihong?
  "I've seen it before. My dad once took me to Uncle Xu's house to see it. My dad wanted to buy it, but Uncle Xu didn't sell it, but I've seen it."

Uncle Guan also didn't expect that Lou Xiao'e had seen so many good things, so he asked: "Whose daughter is this? She is extraordinary!"

Li Xiuzhu said: "I have heard of Boss Lou in Loubancheng, right? She is Boss Lou's daughter, Lou Xiao'e."

After hearing this, Mr. Guan nodded and said, "Come in, since she is Boss Lou's daughter, you can't get her by any means."

"But I still have to say one thing, I will not accept disciples with bad conduct. Please don't ruin my reputation, Guan Weiqing."

"Don't worry, old man, my Ezi is the most kind-hearted."

Hearing this, the old man shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about her, I'm talking about you."

"As for her, she can listen and you can teach her. How much she can learn depends on her ability."

Li Xiuzhu was stunned.

"why?"

The old man seemed to know what Li Xiuzhu was asking, and said: "Every line has its own rules. In our era, it was a virtue for a woman not to have talent. Therefore, no matter what kind of inheritance, it is important to pass it down from one son to another."

"But it's no longer necessary for your generation. Mr. Li said that women can hold up half the sky. Since she has this talent and knowledge, it's okay to learn from it, but she can't pass it on from me."

Li Xiuzhu was silent for a while and suddenly said: "Although I have never thought about becoming a teacher, you are the first person to teach me something without asking for anything in return."

"So I recognize you as my master, but I don't know much about etiquette, nor am I good at it."

"So, is it okay to just help you teach your skills and not show your filial piety?"

Guan Weiqing was not angry when he heard this, and said funnyly: "Old man, I can live for another twenty or thirty years at least, and I have a son, so I don't need you to be filial."

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this and said to himself: I'm afraid you don't know that your son will run away in a few years.

The three of them talked and entered the room. As soon as Uncle Guan entered the room, he said: "Book."

Li Xiuzhu handed over the three books he had borrowed before. Mr. Guan put them away but did not take out the new books immediately. Instead, he took out three porcelain cups and said, "Look at these three cups first. I will get you other books after the dynasty history is published, otherwise you can just go back and forth wherever you go."

"By the way, be careful, there is real stuff here, it's very valuable."

Li Xiuzhu took one look and said directly: "It has a large pattern, longan, white and simple color, thin body and thick glaze with a jade texture. This is a six-edged cup from the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty."

Lou Xiao'e looked at a chicken pecking rice bowl, and when Li Xiuzhu put down the six-sided cup, she said, "This is a Chenghua chicken cup. The color is pretty good, but it's not as good as the one I have."

"The one I have is more vivid, the bowl is thinner, and it's polished and bright. It's better than yours."

"But I looked at it and it seems that what you said is real, not fake."

Uncle Guan smiled when he heard this and said, "Yes, your little wife really has a lot of good things at home. It seems that I can't trouble her with my things."

"Then you guess what this last item is. If you guess it right, I will give each of you a collection. If you guess it wrong, it will only be books."

Lou Xiao'e curiously came over to look at the last piece of porcelain.

This is a small enamel bowl, with blue inside and yellow outside. There are three characters on the bottom of the bowl, Gathering Friends.

Li Xiuzhu's heart moved, this old boy is not kind.

Lou Xiao'e said: "This looks like just a small bowl with enamel color. Enamel color was popular in the Qing Dynasty. This should be from the Qing Dynasty."

"Among them, the Yongzheng and Qianlong years produced the most. The base of this porcelain is only "Ju Friends". I can't tell which era it is from. It's even hard to tell whether it's authentic or fake."

Mr. Guan smiled and nodded. This little girl from the Lou family is a bit interesting.

To be honest, he has really considered recruiting a disciple, which is much better than a layman like Li Xiuzhu.

But Li Xiuzhu was also satisfied. He had thoroughly read the three books in less than half a year. He just liked his ability to recognize the official kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty at a glance.

"This bowl is from the late Qing Dynasty, at least the signature is from the late Qing Dynasty."

Guan Weiqing was startled when he heard this.

"How did you guess that?" The base of porcelain is basically fired after the porcelain is formed, so the base can only represent the era of the base.

"Guess."

"Guess what?"

Seeing Uncle Guan frowning, obviously dissatisfied with the answer, Li Xiuzhu explained: "Yes, it's just a guess."

"I heard someone say that the four tax collectors in Sijiu City had a good relationship in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, in order to show their friendship, they ordered a set of wine bowls."

"In addition, they called you, Master, the Admiral of the Nine Sects, so I guess this is the trick."

Uncle Guan was relieved and said, "You are right, this is the bowl I had at home."

"The other three bowls are for tea, for drinking, and for returning upstairs."

"Unfortunately, I have been searching all my life and have not been able to find the other three small bowls."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will find it one day."

This isn't comfort, it's reality, just not now.

Li Xiuzhu knew the whereabouts of these three small bowls, but it was useless to know. Now that the rags had not been confiscated by the rags, he could not find them.

"I hope, if you can help the master find three other small bowls, master will leave half of the treasures in this room for you."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this and said, "That's a deal."

He doesn't have the heart of a saint like Han Chunming. If the old man dares to give it to him, he will really dare to ask for it.

"It's a word."

As he spoke, the old man continued: "Master keeps his word. Except for this gathering of friends, you and your wife can each take one."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "There's no rush."

"Xiao'e, look, take whatever you like. It just so happens that I haven't given you anything yet."

Uncle Guan saw through what Li Xiuzhu was thinking at a glance. When he heard this, he laughed and cursed: "The monkey spirit is not as good as yours."

Then he turned to Lou Xiao'e and said, "You can pick it out, but let your man pick up the things in the cabinet for you. If you give me cei, then I won't let you."

Lou Xiao'e laughed when she heard this, and she knew that his man was the one who wanted her to be the most expensive one.

Needless to say, this old boy had quite a lot of good things, but things were rare and expensive, so she was in no hurry to choose the common ones.

Suddenly a pink enamel bowl appeared in Lou Xiao'e's eyes.

Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up and she said, "Brother, I like this powder bowl. Can you help me get this?"

Li Xiuzhu followed Lou Xiao'e's gaze and his eyes lit up when he saw the powder bowl.

It was also the first time for him to see pink porcelain.

Guan Weiqing smiled and said, "You didn't marry me in vain. This small bowl is an enamel bowl from the Kangxi period. Your master and I have only seen this pink one so far."

"It will definitely be worth a lot of money in the next few decades."

Gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times. If antiques want to be valuable, they must enter the prosperous age.

Li Xiuzhu stepped forward and took down the small bowl, looked at it, and then handed it to Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e looked at it twice happily before putting it on the table.

"Brother, can I eat with this in the future? I like this little bowl so much."

Guan Weiqing's old face twitched.

"I suddenly regretted it. This prodigal woman of yours is really brave."

"This may be the only good thing that exists in the world. Before others can treasure it, she actually wants to use it to eat."

Lou Xiao'e chuckled and said, "Hehe, can't you?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu looked at the old man's murderous gaze, smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, since it belongs to us Xiao'e, it is up to us Xiao'e to decide how to use it."

"This is a gift from my brother. You can choose another one."

As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu looked at Mr. Guan and smiled and said, "Master, we are men. We can't keep up with our promises."

"Hmph, I won't ruin my reputation just for something. But don't try to take away a good thing from me in the future. It would be such a waste."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this and said, "Isn't it right? Master, didn't you agree that I will find a small bowl for you and you will share half of it with me?"

Hearing this, Guan Weiqing snorted angrily and said: "Humph, we have to wait until you find it."

At this time, Lou Xiao'e suddenly pointed to a gold-rimmed box on the shelf and said, "Brother, please help me take down this box."

When the old man heard this, he subconsciously followed Lou Xiao'e's gaze and glanced at the box.

Then the old man twitched the corner of his mouth and said nervously: "Can you change it to another one?"

The two knew that there was something good in it as soon as they heard it. They looked at each other and Lou Xiao'e suddenly sighed: "I didn't expect that the famous Admiral of the Nine Sects would actually be a person who goes back on his word."

"Forget it, no, I will ask my dad and my sister to promote Uncle Guan instead."

"That's right, how can a mere reputation compare to something real and good?"

Guan Wei is numb, who is the yin and yang? Who is threatened?
  "Haha~ Get it... you go get it for her."

If you didn't grit your teeth like this, I would really believe you were being generous.

However, Li Xiuzhu didn't show fear and stepped forward to take the box.

Don't tell me, this box is heavy, not light.

Li Xiuzhu placed the box on the table and was stunned for a moment after opening it.

I saw long carvings inside.

seal? Is this thing valuable? Judging from its size, it is impossible for a jade seal to appear.

Li Xiuzhu was about to pick it up when he was stopped by Guan Weiqing.

"Don't choose. Since I told you to let your little wife choose, then don't choose."

"Come sit down and have a drink with your master."

Li Xiuzhu shook his head when he heard this, sat back with a smile and said, "Master, can you drink wine without peanuts?"

Guan Weiqing didn't care about Li Xiuzhu's teasing and said seriously: "I'm afraid I won't let you go out because I've drunk too much."

Hiss, is there any secret treasure hidden here?
  At this moment, Lou Xiao'e took out a seal and looked at it again and again. Li Xiuzhu suddenly noticed that the old man was nervous.

Hiss, is this the most valuable one?
  "Brother, I think this seal suits you well."

"You gave me a bowl just now, now I'll give you a seal."

Hearing this, Guan Weiqing sighed and said, "Not only does your little wife have good eyesight, she is also very lucky."

"That's all. Since God's will is this, then I'll give it all to you."

As he spoke, Guan Weiqing stepped forward and handed the two square seals next to the empty space of the square seal in the box to Li Xiuzhu.

one set of? Li Xiuzhu looked at it in surprise, not recognizing what the first seal was.

But he recognized the second one.

Nanjing Jieyuan? ? ?

Whose seal is this? Is there anything special about this seal? But when he took the seal from Lou Xiaoe, he was stunned.

The most talented man in the south of the Yangtze River.

Hiss~ He seemed to have guessed who the person who dared to use this square seal was.

Looking at the two unrecognizable words, it seems to mean something like that.

"Is this Tang Bohu's seal?"

No wonder the old man is so nervous. Jieyuan of Nanjing is precious enough, but the arrogance of the most talented man in Jiangnan is even more precious.

"Yes, my father received it when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces entered Japan."

"Keep it well. If this is lost or destroyed, you will be a sinner."

Li Xiuzhu raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was a money printing machine. It wouldn't be too easy to imitate Tang Bohu's paintings with this thing.

The old man seemed to see through Li Xiuzhu's little thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: "Want to imitate it? I'm afraid that won't work. You can't imitate Tang Bohu's things just because you say imitate them."

"He paints and writes. You have to learn at least Jiucheng."

"But if you can really learn [-]% of it, it will be enough to leave your mark in the history books."

"It's not impossible to create a genre by then, it's not necessary."

Li Xiuzhu gave up his thoughts after hearing this, but he was still happy.

Lou Xiao'e was right about one thing, he felt that this seal suited him very well.

It's a pity... It would be better if he was the most talented person in the world.

"Okay, take your things and leave. Master, I'm going to feel uncomfortable for a while."

"Father..."
