After lunch, Zeng Yi was embarrassed to stay any longer. She had a deeper understanding of Li Mo. No wonder Professor Yu strongly recommended him. Perhaps Li Mo was the only hope to crack the treasure clues left by his ancestor Zeng Guofan.
"Brother, are you going to the courtyard this afternoon?"
"I haven't visited grandpa and grandma since I came back. I'll go there in the afternoon." Li Mo said while clearing the table, "You can have some snacks on what classmate Zeng Yi said."
"I remember, let's go back to school first. Sister Yingying, let's go shopping together when we are free."
"okay bye."
After seeing the two of them off, Liu Yingying helped them clean up: "Are you coming back to stay at night?"
"Not necessarily. Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm just asking. If you don't come back, I will go back to the dormitory. Anyway, the news from the crew is that they are temporarily disbanded. I don't think those roommates will keep asking to the end."
"You have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway. Why don't you follow me to my grandpa's house to meet you? They have always wanted to meet you. It just so happens that my parents are coming to Shanghai in the afternoon and we will have dinner together in the evening."
"Isn't it appropriate for me to go?" Liu Yingying's eyes changed slightly.
"Are you afraid that you won't be allowed in or something? My parents haven't seen you for a long time, and maybe they will be very happy to see you. I will clean up here by myself, and you can go change clothes."
Only then did Liu Yingying put down any worries in her heart, smiled and quickly walked into the cloakroom and started picking out her clothes.
About twenty minutes later, Liu Yingying came out wearing light makeup and light green embroidered casual clothes. She turned around in front of Li Mo and asked anxiously: "Is this okay?"
Li Mo put down the book in his hand and looked up at her, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
"Isn't it a bit expensive? Don't you want me to change it again?"
"No, this one is pretty good. I've never seen you wear this style before. When did it look so fashionable and avant-garde?"
"Really?"
Liu Yingying was still worried and checked again and again.
Li Mo snapped his fingers and said, "Let's go."
Two cars had been parked at the entrance of Shijia Courtyard. When he saw the license plate, Li Mo knew that Mr. Qin was coming. There is another car that he doesn’t know who belongs to him, maybe it belongs to some big shot he has never met.
After getting out of the car, Li Mo looked back at Liu Yingying, who was still dawdling, and said with a busy smile: "This is my own home, why are you so nervous?"
Liu Yingying opened the door and got out of the car, looked up at the door of the courtyard, and whispered: "I'm a little panicked. I heard from dad that your grandpa is an old general with a very strong aura."
"This is the first time I see you so nervous. Just stand by my side later. When you meet my grandparents, you will find that they are really kind and approachable. Don't be affected by what is shown on TV. , which made me a little nervous. Take a few deep breaths and tell yourself that you are the omnipotent little superman Liu Yingying."
Liu Yingying took a few deep breaths, calmed down and said, "Xiao Mo, let's go."
The two walked into the yard. The aunt at home was setting up a rack in the corner, and the white-haired grandma was helping.
"grandmother."
Professor Yu looked back, smiled and stretched out his hands to him: "Let grandma give me a hug and see if she has lost weight."
"I'm not thinner, just a little darker."
The two hugged each other gently, and Li Mo put his face close to her and said, "Grandma, look at the skin on my face. It's almost peeled off due to the sun."
"Hahaha, it's good for a man to get a little tan." Professor Yu pinched his face, "You're not thin yet, you can even pinch out a layer of skin on your face. In the evening, grandma will make you soup. Eh, so beautiful. Who is your baby?"
Professor Yu looked at Liu Yingying who was standing aside, and his eyes lit up. This girl was comparable to Qin Sirui. Since they followed Li Mo, their relationship must be relatively close.
"Grandma, let me introduce to you, this is Liu Yingying."
"Ah, your master's daughter Liu Yingying?" Professor Yu took a few steps forward, took her hand and said with a smile, "This baby is really beautiful. They say that women in the Jiangnan water towns are more graceful. Look at her appearance. , you can squeeze out water with just a pinch."
Liu Yingying was very embarrassed to be praised.
"Yingying, just call me grandma."
"Hello grandma."
"Okay, come on, let's go inside."
There are three old people drinking tea and playing chess in the living room of the main room.
"Old Shi, look who this is?"
Shi Lao's thoughts were interrupted and he turned around to look. His eyes swept over Li Mo and landed on the woman who followed him.
"Liu Yingying, the daughter of Master Xiao Mo's family."
Professor Yu will introduce.
"Yingying, this is my grandpa." Li Mo introduced one of the old men to her.
"Hello grandpa, my name is Liu Yingying."
"Okay, welcome." Shi Lao also smiled and said, "Sit anywhere, just like at home."
"Yingying, this is Grandpa Qin."
When Liu Yingying heard that his surname was Qin, she immediately thought of someone and shouted respectfully: "Hello, Grandpa Qin."
Mr. Qin nodded gently with a smile.
Li Mo looked at the last old man. He was very strange. He had never seen him before.
"Xiao Mo, this is your Grandpa Fang." Shi Lao introduced him and pointed out his identity. It turned out to be Fang Wenjing's grandfather.
"Hello, Grandpa Fang."
"Hello, Grandpa Fang."
Liu Yingying followed Li Mo and shouted politely.
"Yingying, let's go to the study next door to chat. Let them continue playing chess here."
"Okay grandma." Liu Yingying also felt awkward staying here. Professor Yu was really considerate.
"Yingying, you and grandma go and have a chat. I'll stay and watch chess."
After Liu Yingying and the others left, Mr. Qin looked at Li Mo and said, "A true gentleman is watching chess without saying anything. If your hands are itchy, you can play a game with your Grandpa Fang later."
"Grandpa Qin is right, you can watch chess, but you can't make a sound." Shi Lao also warned him that this kid is too strong in chess. He had played several games in the Qin family compound before, and both of them were beaten. Killed and abandoned their armor. This kid said innocently that he had never won a game of chess.
"Mr. Qin, is this kid very good at chess?"
Mr. Fang heard that Mr. Qin's tone was a little unusual. His chess skills were quite famous in the circle, and he was considered a top-notch master. Even he was afraid of Li Mo's chess skills, which meant that Li Mo's level was not ordinary. The cleverness.
"I don't have to say whether you are strong or not. You will find out when this game is over and you have a game."
Li Mo moved a chair and sat aside, watching and saying nothing, but no matter who made a move, there would always be an enigmatic smile on his face, which made the two old people have to think carefully about themselves again. Is the chess move in the wrong position?
After about ten minutes, Shi Lao threw the chess piece away and admitted defeat.
"Shi Lao, you are very good at chess."
After winning a round, Mr. Qin began to feel proud.
"What can I do if I win? Why don't you and Xiao Mo also have a game?"
Li Mo nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I'll do it."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Qin also threw away the black chess piece in his hand and said angrily: "I'm old and can't keep up my energy. I'd better play another game with you next time when I have nothing."
"Grandpa, how about we play a game?" Li Mo turned to look at Shi Lao, looking forward to it.
"Who is playing chess with you? I want a drink of water. Mr. Fang, you and Xiao Mo can play a game to pass the time."
"Okay, let me test how strong Xiao Mo's chess skills are." Mr. Fang still felt that the two of them were exaggerating, and they actually wanted to stay away from him.
After setting up the chessboard, Li Mo called and a new battle began.
After being polite, Mr. Fang took the first step, and the start was quite satisfactory, not too fancy. Li Mo didn't think about it and immediately arranged the formation.
Between the red and black sides, the conflict between Chu and Han was quite fierce. Old people all have the same habit when playing chess. They pick up a piece and hold it high, and then with a crisp sound, the piece falls on the chessboard. Not to mention, this momentum is quite intimidating.
Li Mo didn't take it to heart and continued to push forward lightly. The two went back and forth, devouring each other's chess pieces, but only ten minutes had passed, and one of the chess pieces picked up by Fang Lao could not fall down for a long time.
"Shi Lao, your grandson is quite evil. I lost this game of chess. Xiao Mo, how about we play another game?"
"Stay with me to the end."
After another ten minutes or so, Mr. Fang and Mr. Qin just threw away the chess pieces in their hands and said listlessly: "It's such a big blow. It's really a big blow. Xiao Mo, who did you learn this chess game from?"
"My master, I never won a single game of chess with him, so I always thought that my chess skills were too bad."
"Your master is really a strange person, an incredible master in the world."
Now that Li Mo had caught up, there was no need to continue the chess game. A few people sat at the coffee table and started drinking tea and chatting.
"Xiao Mo, last night your Uncle Qin was like a treasure. He gave me the small leaf red sandalwood bench from the Qing Palace and a pair of Qing Daoguang pastel lotus suction cups. Thank you."
"There happens to be a Taobao village near the farm. After dinner, I went shopping with Uncle Qin. There was nothing good."
"Hahaha, you are the only one in the world who is qualified to say such things. Those two things are nothing to you, but to others, they are a very remarkable leak, enough to brag for many years."
"I think if you want to have a higher chance of picking up antiques in Kyoto, you have to go to Liulichang, Panjiayuan or Bada Hutong. However, when antiques were very popular in the early years, the really good things have long been collected by private individuals. Arise, but too little remains.”
A few people clinked their teacups and started drinking.
"Xiao Mo, did you watch the live broadcast of Shi Da Kai's treasure conference this morning? I really didn't know it until I saw it. I was shocked when I saw it. The dragon chair, dragon pillar, dragon table, four treasures of the study, and gold leaf books are simply beyond our expectations. Shi Dakai, a famous general of the generation, has a positive impression of this person. Even at the height of Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong did not have such luxury." Shi Lao said, shaking his head and sighing.
"There is nothing we can do about it. At that time, people's vision was low and the structure was small. Coupled with the internal consumption of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it would be strange if it didn't fail." Mr. Qin picked up the tea cup and blew it gently twice, took a sip and continued Said, "Xiao Mo, what are your plans for this treasure?"
"The site is still being selected. When the Shidakai Treasure Museum is completed, it will definitely become the largest gold display museum, especially those golden dragon artifacts. I think they will attract more attention and curiosity than other museums."
Mr. Fang suddenly said at this time: "I heard that Hong Xiuquan's treasure map has been released, and the owner has reached a cooperative relationship with the government. Especially recently, many wealthy people want to invest in this kind of treasure hunt. Xiao Mo, you are a top expert in treasure hunting. Are you not interested in this Hong Xiu treasure?"
"There won't be any action for the time being. After the summer vacation from colleges and universities, if nothing happens, I will think about it. But they are looking for theirs, and I am looking for mine. Let's see who can find it first. There are two types of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom treasures. One is Hong Xiuquan's. The first treasure is the Shi Dakai treasure. The latter has been born, so I have reason to believe that the former is likely to be buried in an unknown place."
The three old men looked at each other. This boy was not ordinary confident.
"Grandpa, when will my mother and the others arrive? How about I go pick them up."
"We didn't arrive at the station until four in the afternoon. The person to pick them up has already been arranged. If you have some free time, you can take Yingying out for a walk. The nearby alleys and old streets are quite interesting."
"Okay, then I'll go out and relax, so I won't disturb your chess game. This will save my teeth from pain."
"You brat, you still dislike our chess skills."
Hahaha--
When Li Mo came to the study, he saw his grandmother stuffing a red envelope into Yingying's hand, but she refused to accept it.
"Yingying, this is grandma's wish. She will be happy only after accepting it."
"Thank you grandma."
Only then did Liu Yingying accept the red envelope and put it gently into her handbag.
"Waikeng, Yingying has never been around here before. I'll take her to the Old Hutong Cultural Festival."
"Okay, then come back early."
"Okay."
The two walked out of the courtyard, and Liu Yingying held her chest and exhaled deeply, saying, "I'm so nervous."
"Aren't you very courageous? Why are you so panicked here?" Li Mo opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her. Liu Yingying took a few sips and said, "I don't know what's going on. Anyway, I'm facing them. I just feel flustered and uncomfortable.”
"It's easy to get used to it. The Hutong Cultural Street nearby is quite interesting, especially the exquisite snacks and pastries."
People were coming and going on Cultural Street, and many young people were holding hands and walking around. There are also many people from out of town who speak with different accents, giving this old hutong street a special flavor.
"Xiao Mo, director Zhang De'an called me this morning and said that one of the contracted actors for his Lunar New Year film suddenly had something to do and couldn't participate in the filming. He asked me if I was interested in making a cameo. There were a lot of lines and about five minutes of footage. .”
Li Mo bought a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, brought her a fork, and then asked, "What do you think about it?"
"I want to give it a try. Although I don't have any experience, I think this is an opportunity."
"Since you think so, don't hesitate." Li Mo smiled at her and walked forward slowly, "Yingying, do you still remember what you said in high school? You said: One day in the future, once If you want to do something, you should not hesitate. You should set a clear goal, work hard, and complete it well."
"Please stick to your perseverance!"
"Xiao Mo, it turns out you still remember."
Liu Yingying seemed to go back to a few years ago, which was a carefree and best time. It's a pity that time goes by and everyone changes.
Li Mo has become a being that countless people look up to, and she is also changing, but it is just the most common change among all living beings. Once she was excited about her new understanding of the world, once she was confused about the future, and once she was worried about gains and losses in life.
But at this moment, Li Mo suddenly mentioned what she had said a few years ago, and she realized that the Li Mo she had known since childhood was not far away.
"what are you thinking about?"
Liu Yingying came back to her senses and her eyes became firm.
"I will reply to Director Zhang Da now and confirm with him the time to go there in advance to familiarize myself with the crew."
"I will arrange for someone to take you there then."
The stone in Li Mo's heart finally fell to the ground. He was really afraid that this incident would hit Yingying hard. Now it seems that she is still very capable of bearing it. She was not knocked down, but quickly adjusted her mentality.
Liu Yingying made a phone call not far away. After communicating for a few minutes, she happily walked to Li Mo and said, "I have made an appointment with Director Zhang to meet on June 1st, and the arranged filming will start on the 3rd. If everything goes well, It will be over in two days at most.”
"Congratulations. This is a blessing in disguise."
"Thank you, I will work harder."
Because I feel better, shopping becomes more interesting. When it was almost five o'clock, Li Mo received a call from his father, asking him to go back early. They had already arrived at his grandfather's house.
"Yingying, my parents are here, let's go back first. In fact, after the lights are turned on in this alley and old street at night, several teahouses here will also open, and different tunes will be heard from inside. It sounds like it is more... interesting."
"Come back in the evening after dinner?" Liu Yingying didn't seem to have had enough fun shopping. As expected, women are quite effective when shopping.
"Okay, there is an old street over there, and there is a square at the end of the alley. The night market is also very popular at that time, with all kinds of barbecue, seafood, and draft beer. I picked up a big leak in that square before. There are dozens of copies of the Tripitaka from the Song dynasty, and you might even come across a small stall selling antiques at night."
"Okay, let's go to the square after dinner. It's just in time to lose weight."
