Chen Zhaoxuan looked at the books on the bookshelf, thought of something, and said, "Did the British take away a batch of books and antiques more than forty years ago and try to find a way to get them?"
"Those foreigners are not easy to deal with." The assistant frowned.
What they do is shady, and the channels through which most goods come in are not so bright. Dealing with foreign countries is also done through shady channels.
But those antique books are in the museum. That's not a shady place.
"Try to get in touch. The books taken away are not kept as precious information there. I heard people say that a bunch of things are piled in the warehouse and no one pays attention to them. They might have replaced them with some tricks. The world is prosperous. Everything is for profit, and foreigners also love money."
Chen Zhaoxuan said.
The more difficult it is, the more he wants to get it. The quickest way to warm up a relationship is to play along.
Originally, I contacted Zhong Manqing just to open up channels for the Zhong family.
Now……
The woman Zhong Manqing asked him to target turned out to be Zhou Jibei's woman. The woman showed no sign of taking the bait, which aroused his interest. Only when there is a challenge can it be interesting.
In his previous life, he had not the slightest interest in conquering women, so he just changed to Zhou Jibei's wife.
He suddenly became very excited.
Zhou Jibei's birth and upbringing were somewhat similar to his. He had been abused since he was a child. It was a miracle that he survived.
It's just that his hardships came from the outside world. His parents were born in a large family in the early Ming Dynasty and had a lot of knowledge.
One is the talents who have returned to the country for construction.
But they all died in the cowshed during the chaos. None of the uncles and uncles in the past extended a helping hand. His parents' passion and revenge were gone.
He shaved his head and was criticized by a group of people.
He almost died too.
It's just that he was tough, survived the chaotic years, and slowly built his own career.
This was not the case for Zhou Jibei. Even at that time, the Zhou family and the Zhong family did not suffer much fluctuations, but they were not persecuted by the outside world. However, there was persecution in the family. Zhou Jibei was tortured by his biological mother, disliked by his father, and almost died several times when he was young. It stands to reason that a person like Zhou Jibei would be punished.
Like him, he should not have too many positive emotions towards the world.
However, they are on opposite paths.
Zhou Jibei is a great hero, a sharp-edged figure.
He, walking in gray, dabbles in black and white.
What Zhou Jibei cherished, he wanted to tear apart.
…
Su Mingruan returned home and took out the copied books. She saw there was an ancient method of containing fragrant pills. The preparation was as complicated as the cold fragrant pills taken by Xue Baochai in Dream of Red Mansions.
The uses of fragrant pills are also very interesting. Taking them can freshen your breath and make your skin smooth and tender.
Once it can make the skin better, it will be especially popular.
It’s just that the raw materials are hard to find.
It takes 50 years to grow ginseng, dendrobium from high mountain altitudes, Tianshan snow lotus, etc.
Su Mingruan took a look at the prescription and took a breath. No wonder the prescription was almost submerged. Wild ginseng that has been around for fifty years can save lives if used in the right place.
Dendrobium grown at high mountain altitudes is also difficult to pick.
Not to mention the Tianshan Snow Lotus. This thing is found in Xinjiang and Tibet. It is usually picked in the summer. However, these two places have not been easy to get to in recent years. You may die if you go or not.
She recorded the recipe and tried to make it when she had the opportunity in the future.
The next day Yang Yan took her to the bookstore as usual.
There is a coffee machine in the bookstore, and you can drink a cup of freshly ground coffee for two yuan.
Su Mingruan knew her body well and it was better for pregnant women not to drink coffee. She came in and continued reading.
As for Yang Yan, she doesn't know how to look at things that cost money. The two of them are very clear about the purpose of coming here.
This made Chen Zhaoxuan somewhat helpless.
…
Time flies and a week passes.
Su Mingruan walked into the campus and saw Ms. Pan holding a book.
She dressed much more discreetly and looked like a learned scholar.
"Why are you here?" Su Mingruan slowed down his walking speed obviously, moved to Ms. Pan's side, and asked.
Ms. Pan said: "I teach here and teach classical literature appreciation. If you have time, you can go to class. By the way, I rented a house nearby, not far from your place. If you feel that people are panicking at noon, you can I used to make rice, and I learned a new pastry, which tastes sweet when made."
"Okay." Su Mingruan opened his mouth when he heard this and responded. Ms. Pan is really an activist!
Just come here.
But, is Mr. Huo willing to let her out?
With that in mind, I asked.
Ms. Pan blushed and said: "The rented house is only used for lunch breaks and temporary weather conditions. You still have to go back at night."
After finishing speaking, Ms. Pan glanced at the watch on her wrist: "I have to go to class. Let's have lunch together?"
"Okay." Su Mingruan nodded.
Watch Ms. Pan walking towards the classroom.
She stood there and laughed for a long time.
In fact, it is not difficult to accept someone.
Especially a very gentle person.
It wasn't until Ms. Pan disappeared that she slowly walked towards the classroom to continue the new day's lessons.
After the morning class ended, Su Mingruan told Yang Yan and went outside to wait for Ms. Pan.
The two met soon.
Ms. Pan wanted to show off her skills and took Su Mingruan to where she lived. It was only 200 meters away from the school. It was really convenient to live here.
On the way home, I also bought a few steamed buns and two boxes of fried rice.
Su Mingruan didn't understand. Didn't he want to show off his cooking skills?
But she didn't ask.
Follow Ms. Pan to the rented yard.
The courtyard is not big, but it is clean everywhere.
Ms. Pan went to the kitchen to cook porridge, mixed eggs and chopped green onion with flour, spread out some egg and chopped green onion pancakes, and put them on the table.
Su Mingruan looked at the simple lunch and the proud expression on Ms. Pan's face.
She was silent for a moment, and at Ms. Pan's signal, she picked up the egg pancake and took a bite, then took another bite. It was neither salty nor bland, and seemed to have no taste at all.
"How about it? I practiced at home for several days before I reached my current level!" Ms. Pan said.
Su Mingruan silently opened the buns he brought back on the way.
Eating the egg pancake with the steamed buns gives it a little more flavor.
She seemed to know why the father in the village was able to abduct Ms. Pan home. Ms. Pan’s cooking skills are not very good!
This was accomplished after several days of practice. She didn't dare to think about what level she would be without practice.
"It tastes good, but I think cooking that is full of fireworks is not in line with your temperament. Do you know about prenatal education? In the future, can you change the time of cooking to prenatal education, play the piano and read for him?" Su Ming Ruan knew that Ms. Pan had a compensatory mentality towards her.
If Ms. Pan is not allowed to do something, she will definitely feel uneasy.
But asking Ms. Pan to continue cooking would not work either.
She is not used to eating!
"Prenatal education, playing the piano and reading, that's okay!" Ms. Pan agreed immediately.
After the meal, Ms. Pan asked about housing safety.
Su Mingruan also felt strange when she mentioned this. It was so quiet these days that it didn't look like someone was targeting her.
After the two discussed it, Ms. Pan added: "Don't let down your guard. The people your Uncle Huo sent over are of extremely high standard. They must be polite to others. They were borrowed from Commander Pei. If you have the opportunity in the future, I will wait for you to give birth to them." If you have a child, I will take you to Pei's house to meet some more people who may be useful in the future."
Su Mingruan listened quietly to Ms. Pan's instructions.
Zhong family.
Zhong Manqing learned from Huang Jing that Su Mingruan was still studying and attending classes at school, and her face twisted with anger.
She called to question Chen Zhaoxuan.
"I didn't ask you to destroy her, why haven't you done it yet?"
"Are you questioning me?" Chen Zhaoxuan smiled.
He felt that Zhong Manqing seemed to have some unclear understanding of herself...
"Go and mail her some of Zhong Manqing's photos!" Chen Zhaoxuan said to his assistant. He didn't cover the phone receiver when he spoke, and Zhong Manqing, who was holding the phone, could just hear it.
She trembled suddenly...
"No, it's not a question. Take your time. I'm just curious about the progress." She said quickly into the phone.
Only then was Chen Zhaoxuan satisfied: "A batch of goods will be delivered from Tianjin Port to the suburbs of Beijing in three days. You will need to go through inspection at that time. Remember, those goods must pass the inspection smoothly!"
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Zhong Manqing's reply.
Zhong Manqing held up the receiver, her expression getting increasingly ugly.
"What happened? You seem a little uncomfortable." Zhou Zixin has been paying attention to Zhong Manqing, and she was the first to notice that Zhong Manqing's mental state was not right.
But what exactly went wrong.
But she didn't know...so Qianqian began to test.
