Zhao Shucheng has had a little free time this time. Since Chen Xueru's belly became bigger, she no longer ran around as vigorously as before. When business comes to her, most of them are negotiated in silk shops and rarely go out.
Zhao Shucheng doesn't have to accompany Zhao Shucheng to do business every day, but can wander around Sijiucheng, not for anything else, just to get familiar with the terrain.
That day he was riding a tricycle on the road and saw Cai Quanwu, but he looked much older and asked tentatively: "Cai Quanwu?"
The man turned around and looked at Zhao Shucheng, and asked, "Brother, are you calling me? My name is not Cai Quanwu, I am the Admiral of the Nine Gate, and my surname is Guan!"
Zhao Shucheng immediately understood that this was the fusion of the world between Zhengyang Sect and the little woman, so it was not uncommon to see Mr. Guan, but Han Chunming should not be born yet, so it was still early for their plot.
"Sorry, old man, you look too much like a friend of mine. But he is much younger than you. If you don't say anything, you would think he is your son."
"That's it, that's fine, but I'm really curious about what you said. If you have the chance, you must go see him. Maybe you're a family."
"No problem, old man, I'll leave first."
Zhao Shucheng said a few words and prepared to leave.
Mr. Guan asked curiously: "Oh, don't rush to leave. You haven't introduced yourself yet. Besides, I think you are not a rickshaw driver, so why are you in a hurry?"
"Old man, it's me wrong. I'm Zhao Shucheng, working in the Silk Store in Xiaqian Street, Zhengyang Men, I'm now looking for any old items."
"Yao, you also like old objects. What do you like, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jade, and wooden ware?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "This is not a specific hobby, and basically all talk about dabbling, but the focus is on antique calligraphy and painting. As for jade and wood, there are suitable ones that will be taken down, but it is not forced."
"No, not bad, I'm very interested in this, why don't we talk about it another day? Appreciate and treasure each other?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "Forget it, I'll collect it myself. Just know it. When the society changes one day, we will take it out and share it with each other."
When Mr. Guan heard Zhao Shucheng's words, he smiled and said without saying anything. Instead, he said, "You are idle too, so why not take the old man around. I haven't had a good look in Sijiu City for many years."
Zhao Shucheng did not refuse this. After all, he was very curious about Mr. Guan. This old man who lived in adultery is a living map of Zhengyangmen. He knows very well about antiques and cultural relics. If he gets along well, he can also let him identify some things that he is not sure about.
"Okay, old man, you're done."
Zhao Shucheng took the old man around Sijiucheng, and the old man did not do it in vain. He pointed to the building from time to time to introduce history. This house was once lived in by whom, which handsome man was this, which foreigner was this.
Zhao Shucheng did not go to waste this trip, and he learned a lot of history, especially about some ancient buildings.
After the two of them wandered around at noon, Zhao Shucheng took the old man to the restaurant for a meal. The old man drank two taels of wine, and he was a little tired. Seeing this, Zhao Shucheng took him back to Zhengyang Gate and sent Mr. Guan back to rest.
This is a way to get to know each other. The better the two of them, they will play chess and appreciate antiques together in the future.
When Chen Xueru saw Zhao Shucheng coming back, she smelled the smell of wine emitted by him and asked curiously: "No, what's your situation? What's the drink at noon?"
Zhao Shucheng explained: "It's nothing, I just met an interesting old man on the road and had a few drinks with him."
"It's so strange. You can drink with someone on the first occasion again. I thought you wouldn't look down on anyone."
“Is there any?”
Chen Xueru: "Is there any? Don't look at how you can go with anyone, but you are actually very arrogant and don't want to pay attention to anyone. Look at the tavern, everyone else is talking, you are the only one who doesn't say a word, and you are like a person watching a show."
"Sometimes, I think you don't belong to this world, or do you look down on anyone? Now it seems that you are still normal, but you haven't met someone who can talk to you."
Zhao Shucheng didn't expect Chen Xueru to be so sensitive. He also reflected on himself and found that he was indeed a little weak in this world, but he didn't want to change. He made up his mind that before opening up, he would be a housewife who would marry and children to avoid being too active to attract the attention of others. Besides, his knowledge from later generations, if he was allowed to be in front of others, he would always be aware of others. What should I do if there was a problem?
"There is no way. Your husband has too extensive knowledge and can't talk to others. They all say something about the parents and the others. I'm not interested, so I can only be a listener."
Chen Xueru gave Zhao Shucheng a blank look, ignored his stinky fart, and said: "Husband, do you think Is the boy or a girl in my belly?"
"No need to ask, it must be a boy!"
Chen Xueru asked, "Why? I think it's good to be a girl, so that she can have both children."
Zhao Shucheng looked at Chen Xueru and said leisurely: "Don't think about it, you can only have a son in this life, and you have no life without a daughter."
Chen Xueru beat Zhao Shucheng a few times in anger and asked suspiciously: "How do you know that you can tell fortunes?"
"Fortune telling is not good, but you can still see a little with a simple face. Besides, you will know it after birth."
"You're right, but I still have to be busy with business after giving birth. You have to look at the child more, especially not to make Kui'er feel lost, do you know?"
Zhao Shucheng agreed helplessly and said, "I understand, I understand, you have emphasized this matter eight hundred times, I will treat everyone equally. Okay, you are about to get off work, what should we do? Should we go home? Or go to the tavern to watch the fun?"
Chen Xueru thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's go home. There is nothing new in the tavern. I don't want to see Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu. It's because I have such a good relationship with Xu Huizhen, so she doesn't even tell me about her partner. It's boring."
Zhao Shucheng said helplessly: "What's the matter? They don't want to attract attention. Besides, you didn't tell her when we got married."
Chen Xueru waited and looked at Zhao Shucheng, her face slowly felt a little aggrieved, and even her eyes turned red, as if she had suffered so much grievance.
"You don't love me anymore, you actually said that. Besides, after we get married, I have no taboo at all. Of course Xu Huizhen knows."
"Okay, okay, my fault, my fault, don't cry, you still have children in your stomach."
Chen Xueru: "Okay, you really have no me in your heart, only children. If there are no children, would you not coax me?"
"The conscience of heaven and earth, I am wholeheartedly devoted to you. I am not afraid that my child will be unhappy with you and will make things difficult for you when it is time to give birth. Okay, be good, let's be happy. I will make everything you want to eat. Is it okay?"
Chen Xueru then put away her tears, looked at Zhao Shucheng who was complaining, and said, "I want to eat pig's trotters and roast duck."
