Shenhao with a learning panel

When Li Shi first obtained the learning panel, in order to sell jade in exchange for cash, he collected information on most well-known auctions in the country, including the Xiling auction.

This auction company specializes in the auction of antiques, calligraphy, paintings and seal stones, as well as jadeite.

Li Shi still has 1.6 million in cash on his account. He has real estate worth tens of millions in both Tanzhou and Beijing, and his transportation car costs millions of Bentleys. He has decided not to easily exchange wealth attribute points for cash. Keep it to suppress your own luck.

Wealth attribute points can be exchanged for materials you once owned at any time. It is not an exaggeration to say that such a magical power made out of nothing can suppress your own luck!

Therefore, he now pays less and less attention to the situation of major auction companies.

After listening to the lady's introduction, Li Shi thought for a moment and then said with a smile: "Sister He, you are now my agent. What do you think?"

When He Yaru heard what Li Shi said, she immediately smiled and said, "Boss, I think I can participate. This is a good opportunity to test the waters, and I can arrange for a special thematic preview to be photographed."

Hearing that this arrogant lady actually called herself "boss", Li Shi's heart moved slightly, and he had a special feeling, but at this moment he was more concerned about the special topic He Yaru mentioned, and asked: "What special topic? "

"My initial idea is to use my aunt's name, select a few calligraphy and paintings from my and my aunt's collection, and let the auction house hold a 'Special Sale of Chinese Calligraphy and Paintings from the Zhong Yi Lou Collection'... My aunt She is a famous collector in this field, and her name will definitely attract the attention of many big collectors."

Hearing this, Li Shi pondered.

He naturally knew that He Yaru's aunt, Mrs. Wu Xiulin, was not only a famous calligrapher, but also a famous collector of calligraphy and paintings.

And "Zhong Yi" is the stage name of this old lady.

only……

"Isn't it a bit bad to ask you, especially Teacher He, to bring out the collection?"

He Yaru knew what Li Shi meant and immediately explained: "It's nothing. Except for a few who are particularly fond of it, there is always a flow of money. Especially for a professional collector like my aunt, it is impossible to just get in and not get out. She doesn't have that much money. So almost every once in a while, some collections are released to the market to collect funds so that they can continue to collect other collections.”

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, then continued: "The main thing is to borrow her name and get two other collections that she was going to sell. Most of the other things are arranged by me. Those collections of mine , you have also seen it, there are not too many high-quality products, only a large number, just take out a dozen or so pieces, it’s nothing. If you are willing, I am willing to exchange all the paintings and calligraphy in my collection for "Beauty Bath"!"

Li Shi couldn't help but smile and said: "You... don't worry, "Beauty Bath" will be handed over to you sooner or later, but..."

"But what?"

The lady on the other side of the phone was breathing heavily.

Li Shi could feel her unusual love for that work. No, it could even be said to be "crazy love". He said seriously: "But the premise is that you have to learn calligraphy from me. When will you develop enough to satisfy me? The original copy of "Beauty Bath" is yours."

"Teacher Li, I will listen to you and I will definitely study hard!"

Li Shi was still standing on the street carrying a lot of ingredients. He said quickly: "Then I will do as you said. I will send you an address and arrange for an absolutely reliable person to come and pick up the things. "

Not wanting to, He Yaru immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Li, are you going to your hometown to pick it up? For such an important artwork, I have to go there in person, and I have long wanted to go to your hometown to see it."

Li Shi thought that the wonderful work "Three Poems of Du Fu in the Travel to Nanyue" should be framed. He was really worried about others coming to pick it up, so he didn't tell her not to come: "It's my hometown, and this is my National Day." They will all be here, just watch the time and tell me in advance."

He Yaru: "Then I will arrange other things and give you the news right away!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone resolutely.

Li Shi put down his phone, glanced at the screen, and shook his head gently - he had a hunch that Sister He, a widowed lady, would arrive very quickly.

Putting the phone in his pocket, he carried the food and walked to the people watching the car in front. He didn’t rush to get in the car. Then he observed the situation and found two girls who were dressed in relatively fashionable clothes, taking selfies in front of the car with their mobile phones. .

He asked an elder brother next to him in local dialect: "What's going on? Are everyone watching?"

"Look at the two beauties taking pictures, are they beautiful? But that car is more expensive. Someone just said that this car costs four to five million. Good guy, it costs seven or eight houses in the county, and I don't know about these two beauties. Where did you get the money to drive such an expensive car?”

Li Shi was startled, and he understood why no one was watching before. This time when he parked his car on the street when he returned to his hometown, he was surrounded by people.

It is difficult for just a luxury car or a beautiful woman to be watched like this. After all, in this era, everyone has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running away.

But the combination of beautiful women and luxury cars, just like those at car shows, doubles the spotlight effect.

Especially these two girls, taking selfies like the master.

He thought to himself, it's good that nothing bad happened.

Li Shi didn't waste any more time. Under the surprised look of the elder brother just now, he walked straight over, opened the trunk, put the groceries he bought in, quickly walked to the driver's seat, and opened the car door.

"Sorry, please give way."

The two girls who had been taking selfies smiled a little awkwardly when they saw the real owner coming. However, they could act like taking selfies when they saw a luxury car on the street. Their thickness of skin must be far beyond ordinary people's.

Seeing that Li Shi was so young and good-looking, he immediately wanted to strike up a conversation.

But Li Shi didn't give them a chance, got into the driver's seat and drove away.

After turning from the main road in the town to the concrete road leading to the village, he suddenly remembered something that happened a long time ago.

When I was in junior high school, the countryside was not what it is now, with cars everywhere.

At that time, there was a boy in the class next door. He not only had a car at home, but also a Mercedes-Benz. He often asked his brother to drive him to school to pick him up. The key is, it was later rumored that the two brothers used this car to defraud two girls in the school. body, making a fuss.

"At that time, we could afford to drive a Mercedes-Benz and our family conditions were better than ours. I don't know how the matter was resolved in the end. I seem to have never seen that boy in school again."

At this moment, Wang Yanni called.

After he connected via phone, the voice of the bride-to-be came from the other side: "Old classmate, have you returned to Baoqing?"

Li Shi smiled and said: "Here we are, already on the way to the village from the town. Don't worry, I won't miss anything."

Wang Yanni: "Where are you thinking? Isn't it like this? I'm going to hold a ceremony the day after tomorrow. A few of my best friends said they would go to the county to get together tonight to say goodbye to my unmarried days. Will you come? ?”

Li Shi: "It's a pre-marriage party. I won't go. I don't know your boyfriend."

Wang Yanni: "What? It's just a meal and a song. Do you know anyone? Yang Lei will be there, and Ding Mian is also there."

Ding Mian is her partner, and Yang Lei is one of her classmates in junior high school.

"Forget it, I'll drive to you tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, I originally thought that if you were coming, I would call Zheng Jingjing too. Looking at her friend list, it seems that she has come back early."

Li Shi didn't expect that she would suddenly mention Zheng Jingjing. He was a little curious about what the girl he had a crush on back then was like now, but this did not change his decision.

He changed the subject and asked: "Do you remember that there was a boy in the class next to ours..." "Remember, that man's name was Huang Yuan, and he came from the same village as me. Why did he suddenly ask about this?"

"I suddenly remembered something like this today, but I can't remember it clearly. How did you deal with it afterwards?"

"He and his brother drove the family car and tricked two girls in the class downstairs into watching a movie at home. What else was he thinking about? They were caught and it seemed that his brother and one of them had taken off their clothes. , it’s all hearsay, the actual situation cannot be determined, anyway, later his brother married that girl, Huang Yuan was beaten by his father, and he transferred to the city to study.”

Eating old melon, Li Shi drove the car into Qiaoyang Village.

As soon as the car stopped, He Yaru sent a WeChat screenshot of the flight information.

He looked at the flight time displayed above and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. The departure time was actually 8:10 this evening. If it was on time, it would be 10:15 at Tanzhou Huanghua Airport.

Seeing outside the car window, her mother had heard the noise and came out. Following her was Li Qiaona.

Li Shi got out of the car with his mobile phone, and while typing back the message, he greeted them: "How many people are there?"

Although he felt that there was no need for He Yaru to be in such a hurry, since he had bought the air tickets, he would ask clearly so that he could arrange for someone to pick him up at the airport.

Soon, He Yaru called.

Li Shi looked at the caller ID and answered the call first: "Sister He."

"Mr. Li, I'm the only one here, and after arriving in Tanzhou, I want to go to you directly... Well, I'm really curious about the new works you used to test the water, so I don't know where you are. inconvenient."

Li Shi thought to himself that she might as well have taken the work earlier, and said: "It's convenient, what's the inconvenience? There's nothing else in the countryside, except that the place is big and I have a place to live at home."

"Then arrange a car for me. I'll drive here myself."

Li Shi was startled: "You want to drive by yourself? It's late at night, so let me arrange a driver for you."

He Yaru said quickly: "No, no, I just want to drive for a while by myself, and my driving skills are actually pretty good."

Li Shi saw her driving in Shanghai, so he didn't say anything else, but he always felt that Sister He was weird.

They asked her about her car usage habits. After hanging up the phone, she immediately called her assistant Zhang Huijing and arranged for her to deliver the car to the airport in the evening.

"Take that Volvo, check the condition and fill up the gas."

"I know, boss, I'm going to Phoenix Bay right now."

After Li Shi told the assistant, he hung up the phone, thought for a while, and sent her a thousand red envelope: "Thank you for your hard work. I originally told you to take this vacation and drink milk tea."

"No, boss, it's all what I should do. (Excited) (Happy)"

Zhang Huijing replied first, and then accepted the red envelope.

Li Shi also said: "Well, after the National Day, we will continue to work hard."

"Definitely! Thank you boss!"

Here, Mother Li saw that Li Shi had finished the phone call, and then came over and said: "Shitou, are you hungry? I made the pork ribs you like to eat, and specially steamed croquettes. Come in and eat some."

He had already told his mother that he was coming back today, so Mother Li started planning his favorite dishes since noon.

Li Shi was indeed a little hungry. Although he had eaten something at noon, he had exercised before sending Yu Yueyue to take the high-speed train. In addition to driving all the way, it was almost evening by now.

After taking the things from the trunk and entering the house, I found that five dishes and one soup had been laid out in the dining room.

Li Qiaona served him rice and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law fried these meatballs last night. I knew you were coming back to celebrate the National Day, so she fried a big pot of them."

She has gotten along with Mother Li and Li Shi like a family since she was a child, and she has a particularly good relationship with Mother Li. Many times, Li Shi feels that she and her mother are more like mother and daughter than she and her biological mother.

The preparation of fried meatballs is roughly the same across the country, but the meatballs in my hometown are usually made into the size of eggs or even larger, so in the local area, they are no longer called meatballs, but "youtuozi". Before serving, red dates are steamed together, and when you finally eat it, it is soft and glutinous, with a special sweetness.

Li Shi reached out and picked one up and put it in his mouth. While eating it, he said, "It's sweet and fragrant!"

His compliment made Mother Li next to her smile with joy as she was about to complain about him not using chopsticks.

While eating, Li Shi explained the situation that guests would be coming tonight.

When Mother Li heard that they were distinguished guests from Shanghai, she suddenly became a little nervous: "Shitou, how are we going to entertain them?"

Li Qiaona also asked: "Do you want to prepare anything?"

Li Shi stopped using his chopsticks to pick up food and said, "Nagu, just help my mother clean up a bedroom on the second floor later. She just came to get something from me. There is no need to prepare anything else."

My hometown is actually quite boring. It is surrounded by mountains and there is nothing interesting to do. Sister He will most likely not be able to stay in such a poor mountain village. I guess she will go back after taking her things and playing for a day or two at most.

After eating, Li Shi did not rush upstairs, but stayed on the first floor to chat with his mother and watch TV.

At first, Mother Li was very interested in chatting with him, talking about various things that happened at home, but after an hour, she began to think that he was delaying her and Nagu's pursuit of the drama, and said directly: "Shitou, you don't like to watch it." If it’s TV, just go upstairs and do your own thing.”

Li Shi touched the back of his head, and under Li Qiaona's snickering eyes, he took his backpack and went to the third floor.

Although I haven't been back for a while, it can be seen that my mother should come to clean frequently. There is almost no dust on the desk and floor.

Because he had to go to the town's highway exit to pick someone up later, he took a shower without changing into pajamas. He found some casual clothes and put them on, then sat at his desk and continued writing his paper.

"My Thoughts on Composing "Three Poems of Du Fu in the Book of Travel to Nanyue", I have already completed the outline and other frameworks when I was in Hengshi, so I only need to write according to the outline ideas, and I can naturally type fast on the keyboard.

He Yaru's flight was originally supposed to arrive at Tanzhou Huanghua Airport at 10:15, but due to delays, it finally arrived at 11:30.

After she and Zhang Huijing met, Zhang Huijing made a phone call to report.

As soon as Li Shi looked at the time, he asked her to give He Yaru the phone.

"Sister He, it's too late today. How about you rest in the provincial capital for one night and start again tomorrow morning?"

"No, I took a nap on the plane and I'm in good spirits now! Let's not talk about it for now, I'll leave right away. See you in more than two hours!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Shi smiled and shook his head.

This lady is also weird, forget it, let her go. (End of chapter)
