evildoers

On the second day of the new year, Xia Chen went back to Mr. Li.

The breakfast at Xia Zhifei's house was very rich. Second Lieutenant Lu must have been severely repaired last night, so he couldn't get up in the morning. Xia Zhifei had breakfast and left early. Over the years, the company has been on track, with both internal and external troubles After solving it, Xia Zhifei began to gradually delegate power, and would not bring home anything that could be handed over to his subordinates.They only stayed in the company for less than half a day every day, and several veterans were put in the branch office, each supporting their own side.

Xia Chen used to drive a blue Porsche in City B, which was not too ostentatious. When he came back last time, that car was borrowed by Zhuo Luo and he never returned it.Xia Chen had no choice but to drive Lu Feixia's car. Last night, Lu Feixia introduced Xia Chen the huge new SUV he bought like a treasure. The implication was to let Xia Chen drive it out for fun. Second Lieutenant Lu is very smart—— Xia Zhifei didn't let him drive, so he could only buy it back and watch it. It was not easy for Xia Chen to come here. Of course he wanted Xia Chen to drive it for him to see, but it was a pity that Xia Chen couldn't be fooled, so he drove a sports car and left up.

It was already eight o'clock in the morning when Xia Chen returned to Mr. Li's place.

The old man didn't sleep much, the old man got up at six o'clock in the morning, and after tending the flowers and plants, he went into the study to read.Xia Chen didn't bother him either. He took his coat and sat in the side room, reading a book in the snowy light outside through the window.

The Li residence is not that big. The old man lived in Beijing for a long time and came here before liberation. He was originally the young master of a wealthy landlord's family in the south of the Yangtze River. He was full of poetry and books.The courtyard where he lives now is said to have been the mansion of a marquis in the past. It is not big, but it is rare and exquisite, and it smells like a fallen bannerman in the late Qing Dynasty.The old man dismantled the hidden rockery in the yard, opened flower beds around the yard, and planted many Cymbidiums.

The side room in the yard is very good, the windows are wide and bright, and it is just right to see the orchids in the yard.

When Xia Chen was not around, Mr. Li sat in the side room with two or three books, made a cup of tea, and had some candied fruit to pass the day.

There are often books left by the old man in the side room. The servants in Li's house are very polite and never touch the old man's books, so no one takes them back to the study for him.

When Xia Chen came last time, what he saw was a Tang History.

What I saw this time was the red building.

Young people don't read Water Margin, old people don't read Three Kingdoms.The Red Chamber can be seen from a young age. People are sophisticated, love and resentment, unlucky beauties, and passionate sons are all worth watching and watching again and again.

The old man has a brother who has studied the Red Mansion all his life. Once he was a guest, and he talked about the Red Mansion with the old man. There was a wonderful argument, saying that "those who don't love Daiyu don't understand the Red Mansion."

In today's society, many people like to be ingenious, saying that Daiyu is bitter, Daiyu is mean, Baochai has a general sense, and Xiangyun is delicate and straightforward. They plausibly say that aesthetics are different, and it is no big deal if they don't like Daiyu.

Those who say this actually don't understand the Red Chamber.

When Cao Xueqin wrote about the Red Chamber, Baoyu is actually Cao Xueqin's incarnation. Baoyu loves Daiyu. How could Cao Xueqin not love Daiyu? Whether it is space or emotion, Daiyu is a well-deserved protagonist, funeral flowers, couplet poems, and The emotional entanglement with Baoyu, Daiyu in Cao Xueqin's works is so vivid and pitiful, every word is bloody and every sentence is tearful. As a result, some people read the whole article and only get a bitter impression.

No wonder that senior brother sighed: "The world has failed Duke Cao very much."

It is said that in the Republic of China, there was a grass-roots troupe who was good at gags, and was quite popular with a certain warlord. Once, when the warlord celebrated his birthday, the team leader racked his brains and sang "The Fragrance of Jade" from Dream of Red Mansions, which made the Xiaosheng who sang Baoyu speak frivolously and talk about it. After making some low-brow jokes, the Danjiao who sang Daiyu also cooperated with him in talking nonsense, undressed, and the soldiers in the audience watched happily and cheered loudly.As a result, the warlord's face sank like water, and he drew out his gun, first shot the leader of the class, and then pressed the Danjiao's forehead, saying: "You are such a bastard, you dare to sing Daiyu!"

Xia Chen is not a literati, and he will not draw a picture of Daiyu burying flowers like Mr. Li. He is only a 19-year-old youth. He also feels emotional when he sees the Red Mansion, but it is not a literati-style sadness.

Just like when Li Zhurong looked at the Red Mansion, he only saw the conspiracy between Jia's mansion and the imperial palace, Xia Chen saw the Red Mansion, only saw the helplessness of being limited by his ability.

He is not Baoyu, the person he likes is domineering, acrimonious, and the person he likes is also very picky, the most difficult to serve, and the person he likes is not by his side now.

He is Xia Chen, who learns from being a gentleman, but was instilled by Li Zhurong with the argument that "ability determines destiny" and grew up. He was proud in his bones, but he bent down for a man named Lu Zhixu.

During dinner, the old man asked him: "Did you meet a girl you like while studying outside?"

He smiled and said lightly, "I met one."

The old man was very surprised. He also knew how picky his grandson was.

"When will you bring it back to see?"

Xia Chen laughed, took a mouthful of rice, and said, "Let's talk about it."

On the second day of the new year, Lu Zhixu's lunch was cooked by Lin Youqi.

Empress Dowager Lin scolds people first-class, but cooking is very ordinary.Fortunately, Xia Chen cooked a lot of dishes and put them in the refrigerator, he just warmed them up.It happened that there was cabbage in the refrigerator, Empress Dowager Lin condescended to fry some cabbage, Lu Zhixu sat at the table with a sullen face, bent one leg and put it on the chair, picked up a piece of cabbage with disgust, tasted it, "Bah" spit it out: "It's really unpalatable!"

He is a very strange person, even though his eyes are swollen now, he has either cried or suffered from insomnia, and looks listless, he is still bossy and extremely picky.

Empress Dowager Lin didn't bother to talk to the broken-hearted person, she quickly cleared the table after Lu Zhixu finished eating.Xia Chen wasn't there, no one cared about Lu Zhixu, he turned the air conditioner on high, took off only his white shirt, lay on the sofa and played with the tablet computer, Angry Birds and cutting fruit couldn't save him, he I can only rely on reading the code to calm my mood.

Queen Mother Lin tidied up the dining room, and came over wearing a thin black sweater. He was never particular about dressing, and the student named Ke Yao accompanied him to buy this dress. It had a wide low collar, and his skin Pale, set off by black, looks very indifferent.

He flipped out a forensic journal on the coffee table, sat on the ground and read it.The carpet in Lu's house was very soft. He sat on the ground, leaning on Lu Zhixu's shoulder.

Their friendship is weird, usually manifested in name-calling and mutual downfall, but if something really happens to one of them, the other understands him best.

Like now, Empress Dowager Lin can understand Lu Zhixu very well.

They are the same people, indifferent because they have experienced loss, and proud because they don’t want to be rejected. They are actually like snails, with a hard shell and a soft inside. Lu Zhixu would never forgive anything.

No matter how kind Xia Chen is, how gentle and harmless, how much he likes Lu Zhixu, the current Lu Zhixu won't listen to him.

In his eyes, everything is an excuse.

Deceit is the greatest sin.

Empress Dowager Lin read the magazine for a while and put it back.He found that Lu Zhixu was still looking at the code, ignoring himself.So he got down on the coffee table, took out a transparent plastic box familiarly, and took out a stack of photos from it.

Lu Zhixu is not very good at hiding things, he just dug out these photos this morning.

Empress Dowager Lin looked at the photo for a while, feeling a little boring.

So, he picked up a photo of Xia Chen holding a camera in Queenstown, handed it to Lu Zhixu, and asked, "What do you think, how about going to New Zealand for the winter vacation?"

The one who answered him was Professor Lu Zhixu who was furious in an instant.

On the second day of the new year, Li Zhurong was called back to Beijing by Mr. Li.

Although Mr. Li is old, his heart is like a bright mirror.Xia Chen stayed in Li's house for two days, anyone with eyes could tell that he was unhappy.Of course, the old man knows the child he brought up by himself. He knows that Xia Chen is the most open-minded and gentle person, and no ordinary things can disturb his heart.Someone must be in trouble with him.

Although Xia Chen's status in the Xia family is not high, among the people around him, Li Zhurong is the only one who can do anything to him.

Old man Li didn't know what happened, he thought it was Li Zhurong and Xia Chen who had a rift, so he asked both brothers to stay in the tea room for an afternoon to reconcile, and everything would be fine after talking.

When Li Zhurong entered the tea room, Xia Chen was already inside.

It's not at Lu's house, and he doesn't need to cover it up. He is wearing a stone blue striped sweater. He has always been suitable for blue. He is tall and tall, with fair skin, handsome outline, and sitting there with his lips pursed.

Li Zhurong laughed.

He was full of travel and dust, and was driven into the tea room by Mr. Li as soon as he entered the door, and his coat hadn't been taken off yet.

Chen Ke didn't follow him, so he could only get his coat and put it on the screen.

He was not afraid that Xia Chen would be angry with him, he knew that Xia Chen was never a vicious person, even if he fought back, he would not be able to hurt him.

So he was very indifferent, and he even took the time to say hello to Xia Chen: "Xiao Chen."

Xia Chen ignored him.

Xia Chen sat there silently, neither drinking tea nor speaking, until Mr. Li asked the housekeeper to ask them to eat.

He ignored Li Zhurong, and Li Zhurong ignored him, and took a book that the old man kept in the tea room to read. It was an Analects, full of benevolence, justice and morality, which gave Li Zhurong a headache.

Therefore, when it was time for dinner, Li Zhurong was very happy.

He stood up and walked outside. He didn't feel guilty in his heart. Everything was under his control. As soon as Xiaochen separated from that teacher, he would transfer him to another school immediately. It would be better to study in Beijing, and he himself was in R I have read it, of course, going abroad is also good...

Thinking this way in his heart, he suddenly heard Xia Chen's voice.

The young man who was never vicious and couldn't hurt him even if he fought back, smiled behind his back and said lightly: "If you count the time, it's time for Xu Xu to leave City C."
