Gu Xijue's "Warm Love" Collection

Chapter 37 I'm always by your side (4)
Reunion and first acquaintance
Gao Ling made an appointment with that Mr. Fu in Gaoling Village in the morning, but Boss Gao still wanted to meet a local kiln maker. After seeking Yuan Yuan's opinion, the two drove into Gaoling Village ahead of schedule.However, Yuanyuan decided to take a walk around the neighborhood first, considering that he would be in the way when they were discussing business.

After separating from Gao Ling, Yuanyuan walked up the ancient road from Shuikou Pavilion.The ancient trees on both sides are towering, and the branches and leaves are densely covered, blocking most of the sunlight, so that in this hot weather, you can still faintly feel a bit of coolness.

After walking for a long time, Yuanyuan found an antique pavilion in front of it, and a large stone tablet stood in the pavilion.She ran forward quickly, and when she looked up, she saw the name of the pavilion——the kiosk for receiving husbands.It turns out that this is the place where the wife of the ancient kiln worker waited for her husband to return from digging the clay.

Just as Yuanyuan was thinking, someone suddenly came out from behind the stele, which really startled her.It's not that the person who suddenly appeared was ugly, on the contrary, he was very good-looking - tall and tall, wearing a light gray casual summer suit, without any extra decorations, standing alone reminds people of "Xiao Xiao Su Su, hearty and clean". "Eight words.On the contrary, his age made her uncertain. Although he looked only a few years older than her, his calm and elegant demeanor seemed to be precipitated by time, making it hard to guess.

Yuanyuan involuntarily stared at him stupidly for a while, and somehow felt a sense of déjà vu.She almost blurts out, "Have I met you before?" But she refrains, because it sounds so much like a poor pickup line.

"I'm sorry, little sister, did I scare you?" The man said, his voice was low and gentle, and there was a little bit of sand when he listened carefully.When he was talking, he looked at Yuanyuan, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth.This kind of staring makes people feel very strange, but it is not abrupt.

But little sister?Cheng Yuanyuan looked down at himself, white T-shirt, cropped denim overalls, two twisted braids because of wearing a summer hat, backpack... The overall effect is indeed very, not, mature, mature.

At this moment, Gao Ling called, and Yuan Yuan quickly answered.Boss Gao said he was done with his work, so he came over to meet her.After communicating with Gao Ling, Yuanyuan found that the man in front of her was still looking at her, and then he called her name: "Cheng Yuanyuan?"

"En." Yuanyuan replied foolishly.

The man showed a faint smile and said, "Hi, I'm Fu Beichen. Gao Ling mentioned you to me."

Fu Beichen?
Yuan Yuan looked at the man in front of him and sighed: Sure enough, he is someone I have met before.If she remembers correctly, he is the grandson of Grandpa Cheng Bai's aunt.According to seniority, he and Cheng Shenghua are of the same generation, but only five years older than Cheng Bai.However, because the relationship between Cheng and Fu's family is relatively far away, the two families do not move around much anymore. Not long after she came to the city to study in middle school and lived in Uncle Shenghua's house, Fu Beichen came to Cheng's house and returned a stack of Cheng's family. My grandfather's medical case.She didn't want to disturb her at that time, so she just watched silently upstairs until he left.Because he gave her an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and because her ability to remember people surpassed ordinary people, even though it was just a side-view from a distance when she was young, it left an impression just like that.

After a long time, it turned out that the "Mr. Fu" that Boss Gao said was "Uncle Fu".It really is the saying "Life is full of coincidences".

Yuanyuan thought, should I climb down to friendship?But soon she shook her head in her heart.He doesn't know her, and his relationship with her is so far away.

Yuanyuan quickly squeezed out a smile, stretched out his hand respectfully, and replied in a stylized manner: "Mr. Fu, I have admired you for a long time. I am the editor of "Inheritance" magazine. My name is Cheng Yuanyuan. I am doing a special issue of porcelain. Teacher Fu can teach you a lot."

Fu Beichen reached out his hand and shook hands politely.

His hands were dry and warm, and Yuanyuan noticed that his hands were also in excellent shape... Fu Beichen found that the other party's hand did not intend to let go, and looked at her as if he was surprised.When Yuanyuan noticed it, she couldn't help being embarrassed, her face flushed, she hurriedly withdrew her hand, and said "I'm sorry" in a low voice.Fu Beichen didn't take it seriously, and continued what she said before: "Don't dare to be so, let's just chat casually. I have read your magazine, and it is very good."

Fu Beichen's academic achievements are so rich, and he is sought after by so many people, yet he is still so humble, which is really rare.

As for his distraction at the previous moment, Yuan Yuan summed up the reason as: the picture is too beautiful...

Yuanyuan said with a correct attitude: "Mr. Fu, is your name taken from the 'Beichen' in the phrase 'Government with virtue, such as Beichen, where all the stars live in it'?" I was being stupid—it seemed that I just called him Beichen by last name.

Fu Beichen looked at the girl in front of him, always smiling, "Yes."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to notice, Yuanyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Teacher Fu——"

But Fu Beichen interrupted her: "Just call me Fu Beichen."

Yuanyuan was in a dilemma, calling him by his first name gave him the feeling of being a high-ranking person, but when he thought of meeting him before, he always had the feeling that he was an "acquaintance". I will call you... I will call you Fu Beichen!"

"it is good."

While the two were talking, another person walked into the pavilion.The visitor was over half a century old, with distinctive features, upside-down eyebrows, triangular eyes, a sky-high nose, two goatee beards, and a so-called Chinese-style dress.As soon as he entered the pavilion, his eyes flickered over Fu Beichen and Cheng Yuanyuan, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he opened his mouth and smiled, "Both of you are single?" Side by side.Unexpectedly, Fu Beichen glanced at her, but replied to that person: "It's unmarried."

Yuanyuan couldn't help saying, how could he be so sure that she was unmarried?
And the man smiled again, and the goatee shook accordingly, "The two of you have a bumpy relationship. Originally, it is best not to get married within three years. But there is a way to resolve everything, it just takes a little effort." This sentence said Very skillfully, he didn't point out that the two of them were lovers, if not, he was right; but if it was, the two would think along their own terms.

Yuanyuan glanced at Fu Beichen, waiting for his reaction.She didn't know how to deal with this kind of "fortune teller", but Fu Beichen didn't show any obvious attitude.

"Oh?" Fu Beichen raised his eyebrows.

Seeing that there was something interesting, the man quickly continued: "I have a few Jubilee Talismans here, you can buy two and wear them with you, so that you can have lovers and get married as soon as possible."

Yuanyuan heard it, and thought: Sure enough, the liar's tail is exposed.Just as he was about to signal Fu Beichen to leave, he heard him ask, "How much is it?"

"I'm destined to be with the two of you, so let's just say, one hundred and one." The man stroked his beard with a look of resentment.

"So expensive?!" Yuanyuan finally couldn't help talking.

Fu Beichen calmly took out his wallet from his pocket, drew two hundred-yuan bills, and handed them to the man, "I want a pair."

Yuanyuan looked at him in shock, with an incredulous expression on his face.

The man slapped his thigh, "Okay!" Then he took out two yellow purses from his bag, handed them over, and took the two one-hundred sheets in a flash.

"You two, I still have something to do when I go to the mountain. I will see you by fate. I wish you a happy marriage and a happy marriage."

After the deal was completed, the man happily left.

Seeing him disappearing into the mountains quickly, Yuanyuan turned around and asked the people around him in puzzlement: "You...he is obviously a liar, why do you still spend money on his charms?" She didn't believe that even she could see it. If that person is a liar, Fu Beichen will not be able to see it.

"It's true and false, so why care too much about it. Besides, sometimes, it's better to believe it than it is wrong." Fu Beichen said softly.

The young leaders are indeed not short of money, Yuan Yuan sighed inwardly.

Fu Beichen handed her the purse embroidered with Bing Tilian, "Since I bought it, I will give this to you."

"Ah?" Yuan Yuan hurriedly shook his hand and smiled awkwardly, "I don't want this one." Looking at the person just now, he took a "two" at a time, and he almost made them a pair.If they took the purse, they would really be a couple.

Fu Beichen smiled, without forcing it, and casually put away the two purses.

When Gao Ling arrived at Jiefuting, Yuanyuan was chatting with Fu Beichen about the historical sites in Gaoling Village.During the period, Yuanyuan sent a message to Boss Gao, telling him that he had met Mr. Fu.

"Beichen, I'm sorry to keep you waiting! But seeing that you had a pleasant chat with Miss Cheng, I think it's fine if I come later."

Fu Beichen was still breezy, and only smiled at Boss Gao's remarks.

And Yuanyuan looked at Gao Ling and said in his heart: I really don't believe that Boss Gao and Fu Beichen only met yesterday.However, Yuanyuan thought that she and Gao Ling had known each other not long ago, and they had no grievances in communicating with each other.I have to admit that Boss Gao has the ability to "get acquainted one moment, and become old friends the next moment".

This is probably the charm of Boss Gao, a mild-tempered person, Yuanyuan thought to himself, but didn't notice that when Fu Beichen was talking to Gao Ling, his eyes always seemed to flow on her.

Yuanyuan gained a lot this day.Not only did she see a lot of real objects represented by the nouns in the materials in Gaoling Village, but she also learned their functions under the leadership of two "professional tour guides", which she would never understand just by looking at the materials.

In the end, she was taken to meet Wang Jiawen, the only surviving master in Jingdezhen.

Regarding the information of Master Zhuang, Yuan Yuan naturally checked it before coming, but basically didn't understand it.The only thing that left a deep impression on her was Tong Binwan, the pile master who died in the kiln during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.Even though he was named "Fenghuo Immortal Master" and was worshiped by generations of kiln workers, Yuanyuan still felt that his story was too tragic - so tragic that she always felt a lingering fear every time she thought about it.

Because many kilns in the town have been rebuilt now, Master Wang Jiaqi has become an irreplaceable busy man, so it is difficult to meet him.Yuanyuan was able to visit Master Wang this time, naturally it was all due to the face of Fu Beichen and Boss Gao.Master Wang, who is over seventy years old, seems to have known Fu Beichen for a long time. From the conversation, it can be seen that the master admires Fu Beichen very much.

Not long after Yuanyuan interviewed Master Wang, a car was waiting for him outside.Yuanyuan knew that Master Wang was very busy, so she was too embarrassed to ask more questions, so she hurriedly ended the interview.After Master Wang left, it was getting late, so Yuanyuan and his party found a restaurant in Gaoling for dinner.

When returning to Gaoling Zhuangzi, Yuanyuan took Fu Beichen's car.As soon as she got in the car, she could smell a faint scent of sandalwood, and then saw a hibiscus stone lotus placed under the windshield.She let out a "huh", looked at Fu Beichen, and then said "ah" suddenly realized.

"What?" Fu Beichen turned his head to look at her.

Yuan Yuan shook his head, "No, it's all right." It's better not to talk about such trivial encounters.

Later on the road, Yuan Yuan looked at the content he recorded today, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Of course, if there is a master on the road to guide, it will be even more powerful."

Fu Beichen, who was driving, couldn't help smiling when he heard this.

When they arrived at Gao Ling's Zhuangzi, after the two got out of the car, Fu Beichen asked, "Are you going back to Jinghai tomorrow?"

"Yes. Well, I have to rush to write the manuscript tonight." Finish it tonight, go back tomorrow and revise and perfect it, and hand it over to the editor-in-chief for trial the day after tomorrow... you shouldn't die a miserable death, right?Yuanyuan was a little unsure.

"I'm staying here tonight too. I'm leaving tomorrow."

Yuanyuan Huanyue said: "Then if I have any questions, I can ask you for advice, right?"

"Of course you can." Fu Beichen smiled, then paused, and said unhurriedly, "You can also take my car home tomorrow."

"That's really great!" Yuanyuan felt that she was very lucky to meet Fu Beichen in Jingdezhen this time.

In the evening, Gao Ling lent Yuanyuan his workbench, and took Fu Beichen out for supper.Gao Ling's large workbench is very easy to use. Yuanyuan turned on the computer, spread out the notebook and the materials he brought, and was always ready to consult.

The night in the mountains was a bit chilly, Yuanyuan was wearing a black sleeveless dress, and felt her shoulders were a little cold at this moment.I stood up and wanted to move around, but a gust of wind blew away a few sheets of information on the table.She knelt down to pick it up, and suddenly someone bent down and picked up the last piece of paper.

"How's the writing going?" It turned out to be Fu Beichen.

"It's almost ready." Seeing him, Yuanyuan was overjoyed for no reason.As a result, he got up too quickly and bumped his head against the corner of the table.

Hey, why doesn't it hurt?She looked suspiciously, and it turned out that Fu Beichen put his hands between her and the corner of the table in time.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?" She looked at his red hand, not knowing what to do.

"It's okay." Fu Beichen withdrew his hand and smiled back at her, "Is there any problem when writing?"

"Yes, no, no." Yuanyuan felt very sorry for him, so she was embarrassed to bother him.

Unexpectedly, Fu Beichen walked up to her notebook and asked, "Can I take a look?" After getting Yuanyuan's consent, he really sat down and read it carefully from beginning to end.Yuan Yuan stared at his profile, and couldn't help thinking: What kind of family can teach such a person?

A gust of wind blew in from outside the door, and she couldn't help shivering.

Fu Beichen raised his head from the backlight of the screen and asked, "Are you cold?"

If you hadn't been paying attention to her, you wouldn't have noticed this kind of detail.

But Yuanyuan didn't think much about it. He bent his eyes and smiled, and said, "It's okay. By the way, where is Mr. Gao?"

"He was drunk, I asked Xiao Li to drag him into the house to sleep."

After hearing this, Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing out loud, "You live in his house, and you treat him like this?"

Fu Beichen just shook his head and said, "The wine quality is too bad." Then he said, "It's cool in the mountains at night, you go and put on a coat. I'll help you watch here." He obviously spoke very gently, but Yuanyuan felt that she could not refute at all, so she had to obediently go upstairs.

When she came down again, she saw that Fu Beichen had already cleared the table.

"I think your manuscript is almost done. I changed some, you can read it tomorrow." Fu Beichen turned off the computer after finishing speaking, and closed it.

Yuanyuan burst out laughing, "You are all turned off, I can only listen to you."

Fu Beichen looked up at her and asked, "Go shopping?"

"Okay." Yuanyuan readily accepted.

The yard is full of burnt porcelain, bottles and jars, big and small, of all kinds.The moonlight is like water, and these porcelains stand alone, emitting a cold light, appearing to be left behind and independent.

Fu Beichen stopped and looked at these incomplete works of art, his expressions were difficult to distinguish in the not so bright light.

"Mr. Gao, why don't you dispose of these defective products at a low price?" Yuan Yuan asked in a low voice.

For a long time, Fu Beichen didn't make a sound.Just when Yuanyuan thought he didn't hear it, he only heard him say slowly: "Porcelain is like jade, it's better to have pieces of jade than to be whole. It can be seen that Gao Ling cherishes them very much, so he would rather keep them than dispose of them at a low price .”

The moon and stars are sparse, surrounded by high and low, one after another the sound of insects.Looking at the porcelain on the ground, Yuan Yuan couldn't help repeating: "It's better to have broken pieces of jade than a whole tile..."

Fu Beichen turned his head to look at her, as if he said to himself: "I seem to remember that I asked a similar question once, and that's how someone answered me."

"Who is it?" Yuan Yuan asked casually.

Fu Beichen hesitated for a moment, smiled and shook his head, "I forgot."

Yuan Yuanxin said, it seems that my ability to remember people is better.

She raised her face to look at him, only to find that Fu Beichen was also looking at her intently, with a deep and indistinguishable expression between his brows and eyes, which made her feel a little at a loss for a moment.She had no choice but to turn her head and look towards the distant mountains.Then she sneaked another glance at Fu Beichen, who was already looking at the porcelain.

Yuan Yuan thought, he must have misjudged his expression just now.

The next day, because Gao Ling was drunk and didn't wake up, Yuanyuan and Fu Beichen were both well-mannered people. They bothered Boss Gao a lot here, so they had to say goodbye to the host face to face when they left.Fortunately, Yuanyuan's day is still included in the "business trip itinerary", as long as he can reach Jinghai City today.And Fu Beichen didn't seem to be in a hurry.

So the two of them watched the master busy in Boss Gao's blank room in the morning.Occasionally chat a few words, most of them are about ceramics, so I feel that time flies so fast.

When it was almost noon, Boss Gao finally woke up, and Boss Gao, who was deeply sorry for neglecting the guests, firmly persuaded them to have lunch.It was almost twelve o'clock when Fu Beichen and Cheng Yuanyuan left Gaoling Village.Boss Gao saw them off and warmly invited them to come back next time.

"Mr. Gao, you are so polite. I haven't left yet, and I'm already thinking about when I can come again." Yuan Yuan said with a smile.

"You are welcome anytime." Gao Ling patted her chest, then pointed to Fu Beichen and said softly, "Just remember to bring Expert Fu with you when you come. I need his guidance urgently."

Fu Beichen smiled and remained silent.Yuan Yuan pretended to be angry, and sighed, "It turns out that Teacher Gao is just using me."

"Where is it?" Gao Ling complained, then squeezed her eyes and said, "Beichen said it during supper last night. If you come to interview again, he doesn't mind..."

At this time, Fu Beichen finally spoke: "It seems that Boss Gao hasn't woken up from the wine he drank last night, so we won't disturb you." Then he opened the car door while talking, signaling Yuanyuan to get in the car.Fu Beichen was a little helpless. It was an ordinary polite remark, but once it was misinterpreted by the tall boss, it changed the taste.

Yuan Yuan didn't think much, said goodbye to Gao Ling quickly, and got into the car.

When the car drove away, she rolled down the window and looked sideways at the scenery along the road.She thought that when she was old, she must return to her hometown with mountains and rivers to support her.

Fu Beichen glanced at Yuanyuan's disheveled hair and thin T-shirt, and said, "It's windy today, be careful not to catch a cold."

Yuanyuan stretched out her hand to stroke her hair casually, and said with a smile, "I'm not cold." Immediately, she noticed that his slightly frowning brows tightened again, so she stuck out her tongue and quickly closed the car window.

Fu Beichen asked, "Where do you live? I'll take you home directly later."

Yuanyuan didn't want to bother him, "It's okay, just drop me when it's convenient for you, and I'll go back by bus."

"Do you still think you are taking a long-distance bus?" Fu Beichen smiled, "Or, is it convenient to tell me your home address?"

"No more..." So Yuanyuan briefly told Fu Beichen about the relationship between her family and Cheng Bai's family, and that she saw him once at Cheng's family when she was young.

After hearing this, Fu Beichen chuckled, "I see. It seems that we are really destined."

"Where is it?"

The car temporarily returned to silence.

Fu Beichen glanced at the people around him from the corner of his eye, and he took a long and light breath, allowing his heart to be entangled with strands of emotion, which was a kind of faint but seemingly deep yearning.
