Lu Shanchang offered a very high price for the paintings of Jiang Xiang and his son. Zhang's father and several painting friends were not satisfied with the price and did not reach an agreement. But he bought paintings by other famous officials and scholars in Daqi.
Lu Shanchang told Lin Zhaoxia about the matter. Lin Zhaoxia felt that the popularity of Daqi's paintings had just begun, and the prices of Daqi's paintings would continue to rise, so he was not worried about selling them, and expressed his agreement with his decision.
"Lianqiu's father wanted to buy the treasure of the store at a high price, but I didn't agree."
In terms of selfishness, Lu Shanchang naturally wanted to make friends with Father Zhang and please him.
In his mind, Zhang Lianqiu is already his. Although Lianqiu said that the relationship between men and women here is voluntary, and they may not necessarily get married in the end, he stubbornly regards Zhang Lianqiu as the person in his house. . He tried to be friendly with Dad Zhang, but he almost lost it several times and almost sold the painting to him.
But in the end he held on. I said sorry to Dad Zhang.
"He asked Guangyuan when he would come back."
Lin Zhaoxia felt worried, "I don't know when he will come back. He's been calling me every day these days. I'm running out of reasons to explain." He couldn't bear it any longer.
"You said that if Guangyuan can't get through like before, will they take us to investigate?"
Lin Zhaoxia trembled. She was innocent and had nothing to investigate, but Changzhi and Lu Shanchang couldn't withstand the investigation. If you look closely, you will find something missing, and the origin of the goods she sells and the videos she uploads cannot be explained.
To finish.
Lu Shanchang also frowned, "He left for a long time this time. Didn't he say when he would come back?"
Lin Zhaoxia shook his head, "No. I just wanted to go to the mountains in Changping to watch Sun Lu train."
Lin Zhaoxia thought that it might be difficult for him to come to China from the mountains without leaving the palace. Otherwise, he can still come over and get together if he finds an opportunity in the evening.
It's best to do this, otherwise like the last time, there is a bug in the time and space gate, and it will be really doomed.
Changping Mountain.
Zhao Guangyuan originally had a glimmer of hope, thinking that he could go to Xia'er in the mountains. After fixing the mistakes last time and telling Zhao Gang not to make unnecessary moves, he was able to come and go to Xia'er freely. The things I brought back and forth also increased, and I felt a glimmer of hope.
I didn't expect that I couldn't go there without leaving the palace. He also had some expectations for this result, but he didn't care too much, he was just afraid that Xia'er would be anxious.
Looking at the secret message from Yuezhou in his hand, Fang Da said that they had confirmed that there was iron ore on an island. Although the amount was not large, it was enough. He and Sun Ze have secretly visited the blacksmith and are preparing to secretly forge weapons. Remembering that His Highness said he had a secret method for improving weapons, he wrote to inquire.
Zhao Guangyuan put away the secret letter in his hand, put it in his arms, and told Sun Lu, who was standing by, the content of the letter, "I have to go back to the palace, and I will entrust the affairs here to you. If there is anything undecided, please let me know." Secret message and me.”
"Yes. Don't worry, Your Highness, your subordinate will take good care of this place and let him be His Highness's backing."
Changping is only a day's journey from the capital. If His Highness starts an uprising, these thousands of elite soldiers in the mountains must be the vanguard. They need to be able to fight one against ten, or even one against a hundred.
"Leave it to the old general. I, the king, can rest assured. If there are good people, I will continue to recruit them. In addition, I have sent letters to Shaoliang and Hangu Pass to recruit more people. You can also pay attention. If there are people who can be used, please feel free to do so. Recommend it."
"Yes. Don't worry, Your Highness, I will contact the Duke's old department immediately."
"You need to be careful, don't scare off the grass, and don't overdo it, rather than force it."
"Yes. Please keep this in mind. Your Highness is going back this time. Do you want me to send a team of elite soldiers to serve as bodyguards and go back with Your Highness?"
Zhao Guangyuan thought for a while and shook his head. "No need, there may be spies over there in the imperial mausoleum. You pick the people up first, and if I go to Yueyue, let them follow me."
"yes."
After arranging everything in the mountain, Zhao Guangyuan turned around and went down the mountain with two secret guards.
After coming out of the hotel in Hengdian, Lin Yanran raised her head and let out a long sigh of relief, it’s done! She now also has a management company!
After taking a breath of turbid air, I felt that the mountains were high and the sea was vast, and my heart felt comfortable.
It took a year for her to finally take a big step forward. Just now, she signed a contract with the company! From now on, she will no longer be a solo performer in a small group! She is an organized person. She no longer has to go around begging grandpa and grandma, and begging for work in a low voice.
Looking at the settlement allowance of 100,000 yuan given by the company on my mobile phone, I felt filled with emotion.
For the sake of reputation, she could no longer rent a house in a back alley with those extras, and had to rent a new house. The remaining money should be paid back to Lin Zhaoxia's 50,000 yuan first. Holding her money felt like a huge boulder was weighing on her heart, making her unable to breathe.
You have to pay her back first.
My parents also had to transfer some money. During the Chinese New Year, she hardly gave any red envelopes, but Lin Zhaoxia gave me 10,000 yuan.
She had been missed by her mother for several months, and this time she transferred something to the family. She was the biological daughter of the Lin family. If her parents didn't rely on her in the future, would they rely on Lin Zhaoxia who picked her up?
Just as I was about to transfer the money, my phone rang. I stared at it for two seconds, then picked it up with a smile on my face, "Brother Bo."
"Congratulations, all your wishes have come true. It's not in vain for me to run around for you. How can I thank you?" Zhao Bo's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Lin Yanran frowned, why was he running around!
Wasn't it because she was discovered because of her excellence?
But he smiled brightly at the phone and said, "Can I forget Brother Bo's contribution? Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. Thanks to his introduction. There is nothing wrong with what he wants me to do. Whether it's drinking or playing. New game?"
The hands hanging by his sides were clenched tightly.
Two days later, Lin's mother got back several packages from downstairs, carried them into the house with difficulty, and unpacked them one by one with Lin's father.
"This kid, when life is better, spends money lavishly and doesn't know how to be frugal." Even though he said this, his eyebrows were smiling.
"I just transferred five thousand yesterday, and today I received all these things I bought for my family. Look at these food items and these dates. They are so big! They are bigger than eggs!"
Lin’s mother smiled so hard that she couldn’t see her eyes. “Ran Ran specifically told me on WeChat that I could use it to make chicken soup for you. She said it was good for your health.”
Almost all of them are food, including various soup ingredients, red dates, fish maw, various dried mushrooms, snow clams, donkey-hide gelatin, dried abalone... They are all very pleasing to the eye.
"I said that I had no money during the Chinese New Year and the red envelopes given to us were short. Now that I have some money, I will give it to us. Ranran is still considerate. After all, he is our biological child."
After hearing this, Dad Lin paused and put a bag of dried bamboo fungus on the table. "Don't keep thinking about Ran Ran as your biological child. It chills Xia Xia's heart. She gave us 10,000 yuan during the Chinese New Year. In the past two months, I heard that I am in poor health and I transfer 5,000 yuan a month. It is not easy for her to be alone in Haishi."
Mother Lin curled her lips, "We provided her with food, clothing, and college education. If it weren't for us, she wouldn't know what she would have done."
Thinking about her biological daughter who was abducted and sold into the mountains, but abandoned by others, she was raised in a big city with great love and affection. She received a good education all the way, finished college, and worked in a big city. Then she thought about her biological daughter, After only finishing college, he was almost sold by that family in exchange for a bride price.
Every time I think about it, the injustice in my heart wells up.
Pointing to the various food items Lin Yanran bought online in the hall, "Look at the pile Ranran bought. Look at her, what did she buy for us?"
"Didn't Xia Xia give you money? There is a large supermarket within a few minutes' walk of our community. You can just buy whatever you want to eat or use."
"So is it the same whether you use your heart or not? After all, you are not your biological child, and you are too lazy to spend this time and energy on this matter. You just use money to kill things."
Lin's mother felt that Lin Zhaoxia's heart was no longer at home since she moved her household registration.
Father Lin felt that one sentence he said could be answered several times by Mother Lin. He was not able to speak easily now and could not defeat her, so he simply stopped talking.
Lin's mother thought that Lin's father agreed with her words, so she kept talking about it. This comparison made her feel that Lin Zhaoxia didn't care about her family.
Haishi, at 9:30 in the evening, Lin Zhaoxia picked up Changzhi from Lu Shanchang. The mother and son returned home and were lying on the sofa watching TV.
"Mom, we have a holiday tomorrow, and dad hasn't come yet. Is he the same as last time?" He was thinking about what to do if he saw his dad again. He misses his father and doesn't want to be a child without a father.
"No, your father is really busy this time. It's different from last time." Lin Zhaoxia comforted her son and herself at the same time.
Although he vaccinated himself this time, this uncontrollable situation is still worrying. And it was about the same time as last time we parted, so it’s been a long time since we last saw each other.
I am actually quite afraid that there will be another bug in the time and space gate.
Thinking that the relevant departments had called her again today to ask about Zhao Guangyuan's return date, she felt that the explanation was dry and she felt that everyone there was suspicious of his whereabouts. Lin Zhaoxia has one head and two heads.
Suddenly there was a fluctuation in the air, and the mother and son stood up together. Sure enough, someone they hadn't seen for more than two months appeared in the living room.
"father!"
Changzhi rushed over, hugged his father's waist, and climbed up with his feet. Zhao Guangyuan had a smile on his face and did not scold him. He leaned over slightly and picked him up, until he was resting on his father's body and resting his head on his father's shoulder.
"I'm back." Zhao Guangyuan looked at Lin Zhaoxia with gentle eyes.
"Back." Lin Zhaoxia stood up and smiled at him, her eyes suddenly felt astringent.
Zhao Guangyuan approached her with his son in his arms, reached out and caressed her face gently, paused at the corner of her eyes, then reached out to pull her head over, and pressed his forehead against hers, "Miss me?" "
"Yeah." Lin Zhaoxia nodded gently. The next moment she was held tightly in his arms.
Changzhi turned his head to look, pursed his lips and smiled.
After being coaxed to sleep for a long time, the couple closed the door and curled up, crouching and murmuring until they were exhausted.
"Worry about me."
Zhao Guangyuan held her tenderly in his arms, feeling each other's heartbeats, and felt that the fatigue of running around these days was healed by her. It was stormy outside, but she would always be his shore, his harbor to shelter from the wind and rain.
Lin Zhaoxia couldn't open her eyes and didn't want to move a finger, "Is it because you can't survive in the mountains?"
"Yes. I can't make it." Zhao Guangyuan frowned deeply. He will go to Yuedi next, but what about Xia'er? It was impossible for him to rush back to the palace at any time like he did in Changping.
It would be great if he were like that mortal boy and put away the fairy's colorful clothes so that the fairy could not return to the heavenly palace. Then he can keep her by his side forever.
Zhao Guangyuan looked at his frail and boneless beloved in his arms with deep eyes.
Lin Zhaoxia was so tired that she didn't notice his thoughts. She only talked to him about what happened after he left, and also about the discovery of Prince Jingde's tomb and the relevant departments looking for him.
"Okay, I know it, and I will solve it." The two of them whispered and then fell asleep holding each other.
Early the next morning, Zhao Guangyuan took the initiative to contact the relevant departments. The relevant departments were overjoyed to learn that he was back and immediately summoned him.
Lin Zhaoxia and Chang Zhi didn't even leave the house. They informed Lu Shanchang that he was back, and they waited anxiously at home for the news. I turned off the phone when I made phone calls, didn’t reply when I sent WeChat messages, and didn’t come back to eat lunch after I made it. Mother and son were pacing back and forth in the living room.
Fortunately, in the evening, he came back.
"How?" Lin Zhaoxia was worried for a day, not knowing what he would ask when he was called. If there was something he couldn't explain clearly, and if he found out his origin... he was afraid that he would be locked up by the relevant departments.
Fortunately he is back.
Zhao Guangyuan smiled at her, reached out and caressed Chang Zhi's little head, "It's okay, don't worry."
Changzhi, who raised his little head, immediately laughed when he heard it. He took his father's hand and said to his mother: "I said it's okay. Mom, you are still worrying so blindly that I can't concentrate on watching cartoons, so I'm worried too." ."
Lin Zhaoxia used her index finger to hit Chang Zhi on the forehead, but Chang Zhi laughed and hid behind her father.
"Naughty." Zhao Guangyuan scolded lightly, took Lin Zhaoxia to sit on the sofa, and talked to her about the day's events...
"They asked me a lot, asking if there are any other Daqi royal tombs besides the tomb of Prince Jingde. I said that my ancestors guarded the tombs from generation to generation. With the changes of dynasties and frequent natural disasters and wars, most of the things left by our ancestors were gone. It is said that our branch was assigned to guard the tomb of Prince Jingde. When it was passed down to me, I couldn’t even remember the address. It’s been a long time and the things recorded by our ancestors in the past don’t match up..."
Zhao Guangyuan didn't say anything. He only said that a thousand years have passed and the world has changed dramatically, so he came back from abroad to look for traces of the past. He searched in the mountains for more than two months and found nothing.
"You won't find another tomb for them, will you?"
Zhao Guangyuan shook his head, "Currently, China's policy is that even if a large tomb is discovered, large-scale excavation will not be carried out. It is all about protection. And it is impossible to be so lucky to find another one like the tomb of Prince Jingde, which can just match the two sides. It’s the address.”
He had tried it in the Imperial Tomb before, but couldn't find it here either.
"In the tomb of Prince Jingde, in addition to two epitaphs recording the life of Prince Jingde, the tomb also records the changes and origins of the Daqi Dynasty. The relevant departments were shocked. Now experts from all over the country have gathered there to think about it. To find out whether it is true or not, tomorrow they ask me to rush to Tongzhou immediately to assist in the investigation there."
Lin Zhaoxia was stunned, "Going to Tongzhou tomorrow?"
