The west wind and the north wind were raging, and the haze was relatively serious, which was not suitable for outdoor sports. Roberto did not go out to see the scenery and play. He spent most of the day teaching Oscar Chinese and explaining ancient and modern Chinese culture.
Oscar has a flexible mind. Because the Chinese language is broad and profound, an ordinary word can have n pronunciations and can have n meanings. The so-called drawing inferences from one example is completely inapplicable, and it is difficult to learn. Fortunately, The results are quite good. As long as they don't involve too profound conversations, you can basically understand the communication about life.
In the morning, Roberto gave Oscar a lesson first, then went to do indoor exercises, had lunch, and in the afternoon, rested in the guest room and watched the news, and then took a nap after watching the noon news.
Oscar didn’t have to attend Chinese class at noon and just played with his computer. Miro was also playing on the computer when he heard his phone ringing. He picked it up and saw a message. He couldn’t help but smile and turned off the computer neatly. , go back to the room and change clothes.
After tidying himself up, Milo told old housekeeper Enzo that his child was nearby. He would go take a walk with the child and he would call back if anything happened.
Enzo, the old housekeeper, nodded with a smile, meaning just go quickly and don’t keep the little girl waiting.
Oscar looked at Brother Milo pitifully, "Brother Milo, can you take me with you?"
"No, your Chinese is too poor. Stay in the hotel and learn Chinese honestly. , When you can speak Chinese as fluently as English, you will have many opportunities to accompany the cute little girl for walks, meals, and travels."
"I" Oscar pouted, "When you can speak Chinese as fluently as English, then. What year and month will it be?
Milo will not relent just because Oscar shows a pitiful look, leaving the poor child who wants to be a follower and leaving in a cool way.
Take the elevator downstairs from the guest room and walk out of the hotel. The handsome young man goes straight to the opposite street and looks around somewhere. He finds his little friend, cute little Le, under the eaves outside a store. Le had a backpack hanging on one shoulder, carrying a foam box, and eating barbecue skewers.
The little Lolita was wearing a light purple coat, no scarf, no dust mask. Her exposed face was pink and tender, with bright and black eyes, like an elf.
Finding the cute little loli, Milo's light blue eyes overflowed with a gentle smile and he hurried over.
Le Yun stopped learning to swim midway after an unpleasant incident in the swimming pool. She went to the locker room to change clothes, retrieved her valuables and left. She walked to the place where the handsome Milo lived and went shopping.
She didn’t eat anything at noon, so she bought some kebabs to fill her stomach on the way. When she was halfway through eating, she saw handsome guy Milo running over, smiling and waving his little arms, “Handsome Milo, I’m here for you. He's handsome again."
The handsome guy is tall and slender, with fair complexion and handsome face. He has black hair and blue eyes. He wears a royal blue knee-length trench coat and a white scarf. He is elegant and mysterious. Cold, more stylish than a celebrity.
The smile in Milo's blue eyes couldn't be contained, and it overflowed all over his face. He quickly ran to the pink and cute little girl and put the white scarf around his neckShe took it off and tied it around the little guy's neck. "If you don't wear a scarf when you go out in such a cold day, you won't be afraid of frostbite."
"I don't feel cold." Le Yun was extremely sad. Why did everyone see her for the first time? One glance always said that she didn't feel cold because she was underdressed, so she didn't want to wrap herself up like a cotton baby.
Miluo couldn't help but wrap the scarf around in a circle to cover the little Lolita's white and tender neck. On the pretext of helping her style her hair, Milo touched her little head and raised the corners of his mouth happily. " Wear more clothes even if you don’t feel cold. Defense is the most important thing.”
Okay, Le Yun accepted the sermon and raised the skewers higher, “Miro, do you want two skewers?” The handsome guy is not a good man."
"Of course." Milo was in a high mood. He took a bunch of spicy skewers and took one bite while eating, "Lele, when are you going to do it? Did you come, have you had lunch?"
He did not help the little guy with his backpack. Xiao Lele said that her backpack was as important as the small bags carried by beauties. It contained her personal belongings and some essentials for medical students. gadgets.
"I came to the central area at the invitation of a friend to do something. After I finished my work, my friend had something to do, so I played by myself. I went to a swimming pool before and missed lunch time, so I decided to have snacks as my main meal."
"Naughty boy, when you are growing, how can you not eat a proper meal? Let's go get something to eat. I know there is a small restaurant nearby that tastes very good."
Miro He shook his head, Xiao Lele was already short. If he always skipped three meals a day, he would not be able to keep up with nutrition, so how could he grow taller.
Le Yun was not hungry, and would rather eat all kinds of snacks than go out to eat. As a result, well, the handsome guy Milo said, "You won't grow taller if you don't eat." It penetrated into her heart every minute, and she couldn't help but I would like to go to eat.
The handsome guy chose a small restaurant with a northern local flavor. There were few people in the afternoon, it was relatively quiet, and the food was served quickly.
Mi Luo, who successfully managed to get the little Lolita into a restaurant for dinner, is not to mention very proud. Xiao Lele’s Achilles’ heel is her height. She can hit her right when she pokes her. It feels good to poke someone’s Achilles’ heel. .
He had lunch, and to avoid embarrassment to little Lele Loli, he ate with him. Leyun was not polite, so she just chopped it quickly, finishing half of the dish by herself, and she kept some for herself. It was a snack, so I didn’t cram stuff into my stomach.
After coaxing the little Lolita kid to eat, Milo didn’t have any objections to the rest. The two of them walked around to eat, and then the handsome guy sneaked into a big shopping mall and took a big boy back. A pile of snacks, plus a stuffed, chubby long-eared rogue rabbit toy.
"Aw, Milo, I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore." Le Yun was really happy as she held a snow-white long-eared rabbit with a three-petal smile on its arms and a carrot. She wanted to roll to the ground to protest, why does Milo always buy stuffed toys for her? She is not a little princess who loves to cry and can be comforted by toys. She is a female man who only likes to shake her fists. Cute stuffed toys and She doesn't match.
"Hmm, I know that Xiao Lele is not three years old, but thirteen years old and one year older. What does it matter? Xiao Lele held the toy as a hand warmer.Just treasure. "
Looking at the cute little elf-like Loli holding a big rabbit, Milo smiled warmly. Little Lele looked the most beautiful and adorable holding a toy. Let her do it. Advertising models selling toys can inspire the princess dream in everyone's heart, and they fall in love with plush toys.
Le Yun's protest was ineffective, so she could only hug a big rabbit as a hand warmer. , she didn’t talk to the handsome guy Milo for about five minutes, just munching on snacks.
Little Lele showed a childish look, and Milo smiled brightly, and handed the delicious food to her for her to take. Snacks to relieve his anger, he felt that when the little Loli bit the food, she must be biting him to vent her anger.
While the two were having a good time shopping, Roberto woke up from a nap in the hotel. , Oscar immediately complained, "Father, Brother Milo forgot about his friends when he saw sex. He abandoned his wife and children and left us happily to play with his friends. He was so cruel that he didn't want us." ”
Roberto stroked his forehead, “Oscar, your idioms about forgetting friends after seeing sex, abandoning wife and children, being wolf-hearted and dog-eat-dog are useless. Go look up the dictionary yourself and see the explanation.” Enzo, has Milo's kid come?"
"I obviously used it correctly. "Oscar wanted to cry. He clearly expressed it perfectly.
Old butler Enzo could hardly hold back his laughter and reported to the old gentleman, "Sir, Master Milo's friends did not come to the hotel. Master Milo He received a message saying that a little Oriental girl was nearby. He went to take a walk with his friends. He just called back and said he would come back with his children to have dinner with his husband in the evening. "
"Really?" Roberto was extremely happy, with a cheerful smile on his always serious face. "Enzo, inform the hotel steward to send the menu. Let's study the dinner dishes carefully. Can't we be right?" The beautiful and lovely oriental girl is rude. "
"Yes, sir, I will notify the hotel's personal butler. "Enzo happily agreed and immediately called the hotel's dedicated butler for the VIP room.
The hotel's personal butler received the call and at the guest's request, quickly brought the menu to the VIP room to accompany the guest to choose. Dishes, like some of the dishes in the Manchu-Han banquet, required advance reservations and could not be made at that time, so the dishes needed to be discussed for guests at an impromptu banquet.
Oscar also joined in to contribute his opinions. After choosing from thousands of choices, she worked for more than an hour before deciding on the menu. The hotel's personal butler took the order and arranged the private room.
Le Yun didn't know that Roberto was invited to have dinner with the handsome Milo. Making preparations in advance, she and the handsome boy strolled around for a while and went to Panjiayuan to play.
It was too cold, and there were not as many vendors in Panjiayuan as there were in autumn. Since it was a weekend, there were not many. Deserted.
This time, Le Yun simply wanted to gain experience, not just look for something with aura, so she did not go to the greenhouse stall, but went to a shop that specializes in antiques and old furniture.
Miro didn’t want to buy anything. He just wanted to go shopping with his little friend. The little girl was very interested in old furniture and visited one house after another., strong interest.
The little Loli didn’t buy anything, she just admired it. Even if she had something she liked, she couldn’t move it. They were all sets of large furniture such as tables, chairs or chaise longues.
After visiting more than a dozen old furniture stores, I felt tired and turned to the antique store area.
After visiting several stores, Le Yun walked into an antique shop. She looked around and found something interesting, a jade Buddha sitting on a lotus platform.
The white jade Buddha sitting on the lotus platform is the Tathagata Buddha weighing flowers and smiling. It is only ten centimeters tall. The lotus platform is about the size of a palm. It is exquisitely shaped and lifelike. It is priced at 12.99 million.
The man who looks after the store is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He wears a Tang suit jacket, which is very consistent with the image of an old antique store. He is always polite to customers, and he is not interested in the arrival of a foreign friend. surprise.
When the petite girl asked to have a look at the Jade Buddha, he looked at her twice, put on gloves, carefully opened the glass cabinet, took out the Jade Buddha, and placed it in the special room covered with red velvet. The counter where the guests were appreciating the antiques was placed firmly on the counter, and he took a step back to invite the guests to appreciate it.
One of the rules of antique shops is that you cannot pick up antiques with your hands. In that case, if one party misses, the person responsible cannot be identified.
After the waiter stepped away a little, Le Yun picked up the Jade Buddha and picked up a small flashlight to look at it. From the top of the Jade Buddha's head to the lotus platform, she looked at it front and back, and then turned it over to look at the base of the lotus platform.
After reading it several times, Le Yun smiled, "This is not true. It is worth thirty thousand at most."
"Little girl, this is a mutton-fat jade Buddha. It has been professionally appraised. "The waiter did not directly say that the young guest was talking nonsense, but stated the facts seriously.
Miluo stood next to the little Lolita kid, and he had one thing in mind, no matter what she said, he believed it.
"My words may be hard to accept, but the fact is the fact. It can't be fake, and it can't be true." Le Yun looked at the curtain behind the shop calmly and said calmly. My own point of view: "When professional appraisal takes samples, they scrape off some jade powder from the base and test it. If you are not sure, you can ask your boss. I think he should know the appraisal process very well."
< p>The young guest spoke eloquently, and the waiter looked at the young guest strangely. How did she know that the boss was in the store? The corner of his eyes slanted towards the door curtain leading to the inner room, and he hesitated. While he was hesitating, the bead-woven door curtain was lifted, and it was crisp. Amidst the clinking sound of handicrafts clashing, an old man in about sixty years old in a blue Tang suit lifted the curtain and stepped out.The waiter hurriedly ran over to greet him. The old man waved his hand and walked towards the counter. The slight tapping sound of his leather shoes on the floor was slow and rhythmic.
Walking to the counter, Mr. Ji looked at the two customers again. Just now he could only see their general outlines. When he took a closer look, he saw that one was a foreigner and the other was an Oriental. The girl with an Oriental face was as white and tender as jade. The skin is smoother than mutton fat jade.
The little girl was holding a stuffed animal, and her appearance was incompatible with the confidence with which she spoke.
"Little girl, this Jade Buddha just came back from the appraisal center yesterday. You said it is not authentic, but do you have evidence?"
p>The old man's voice was light and had a touch of coercion. It was the majesty and authority of a highly respected person in the industry that he had developed from being immersed in the antique world for many years.
"This jade Buddha, starting from this position, the thin layer on the bottom is real suet jade, and the top is connected to it," Le Yun said confidently, turning the bottom over He pointed it out to the old man and scratched a certain spot. "The material for carving the Jade Buddha is not jade. The surface is coated with a layer of gum resin mixed with jade powder. To verify whether it is real or not, just wash it with some kind of water." "
In the ten years since Jingde has been working in the industry, this is the first time I heard someone say that gum resin was used to fake mutton-fat jade. His calm face almost failed, but the little girl was not afraid of blowing up her nonsense
"Little girl, you will have to bear the consequences for speaking nonsense." Ji Lao's eyes were deep and sharp. The little girl's eyes were watery and lively. People with such eyes are not like the masters of nonsense. , but it seems that he is too young and lacks a convincing first impression.
"If I tell the truth and cannot verify the authenticity, I will buy it and publicly apologize to your store. If I verify that it is fake, the old gentleman only needs to sell it to me for the price. Well, I only offer 10,000."
"Okay, I'll take your word for it, and you two will follow me to the back." Mr. Ji was silent for about ten seconds, and then he made up his mind and held up the little boy. After the girl finished admiring the jade Buddha, she put it down, inviting customers to enter a place that no one but the clerk could enter.
Ying De was shocked, the boss actually believed it
Le Yun didn’t have the slightest hint of timidity, she walked into the passage that led to the inner room with her head held high, Milo was also confused. Change your color and calmly follow the footsteps of the little loli.
There is a small storage room behind the curtain, and there is a staircase leading to the second floor. Ji Lao led the two guests up the stairs to the second floor.
The second floor is as wide as the store on the first floor. The huge place is filled with various shelves, storing all kinds of antiques, including pottery, jade, and bronze objects.
A small office is separated by glass on one side of the wall, with a set of tables and chairs in the middle of the hall, a set of Eight Immortals tables for office use, and a cabinet filled with various identification tools.
Ji Lao led the two guests into the studio and sat down. He took an empty box of the Jade Buddha and put it on the table, and poured a glass of boiled water for the two guests.
Miluo helped the little Lolita hold the big rabbit. His gentlemanly demeanor and nobility oozed from his bones. Even if he drank a glass of boiled water, he would still be as elegant as drinking jade paste and jade liquid. Be elegant and behave in an aristocratic manner.
Leyun is not a noble, nor is she a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. She did not drink boiled water. She put the bag on her shoulder on her knees, took out a pack of pills and a pack of medicinal materials, and took out one. Put the pills and a handful of medicinal herbs in a cup of water for soaking.
The little girl opened the package to take the medicine, and a fragrance wafted out, making Milo's blue eyes shine. It smells so good. Can it be eaten?
The aroma was elegant, and Ji Lao's eyes also changed slightly. , the pills in the little girl’s hands didn’t look like ordinary things.
After sealing the package, Le Yun moved the water cup to the shop owner and said, "Old sir, please put these two things in the electric kettle and boil them for a while, and then soak the Jade Buddha in the water. An unexpected picture will appear. These medicines are non-toxic and can even be said to be good detoxification medicines. They will not cause damage to jade, copper and iron. If you don’t worry, you can try something after boiling the water. ”
< p> Ji Lao nodded, picked up the cup and walked aside, pouring the water and medicine into the electric kettle for making tea, then took it to the water dispenser to add water, and put it on the base to turn on the electricity to boil the water.The little girl’s water cup could no longer be filled with medicine, so he poured the little guest another cup of boiled water and sat patiently waiting.
Le Yun was not at all nervous. She took her hand warmer, the big-eared rogue rabbit, from the handsome guy's arms. She drank a few sips of boiled water and smiled while waiting for the water in the electric kettle to boil.
While the electric kettle is heating, the pills slowly melt, and the aroma is elegant and increasingly fragrant.
When the water boils, the fragrance fills the first floor.
Ji Lao's surprise intensified, but he remained calm. After a while, when he heard the little girl say "Okay," he personally unplugged the power and poured water into a bottle. Put the tea bottle in the bowl, put a heat-insulating mat on the Eight Immortals table, lift the bowl head to the table and place it.
To test whether the potion is really harmless to antiques, he picked up a piece of jade of low purity and put it into the bowl. The jade showed no reaction. He then picked it out with tweezers and observed it. There were no cracks under a magnifying glass. .
After completing the preliminary test, Mr. Ji took out the Jade Buddha and slowly put it into the potion. He stood at the table and observed. The Jade Buddha sank into the potion and was okay at first. After about a minute, , the water actually penetrated into the mutton-fat white meat of the Jade Buddha, and strings of white bubbles emerged. There were more and more bubbles, and the water surface seemed to be boiling, making a thin gurgling sound.
Mr. Ji's face became increasingly gloomy, his eyebrows tightened, and the jade Buddha bubbled, indicating that there was something wrong
