The Charming Life of Rebirth

"By the way, haven't you been busy all the time, boy? Why do you have time to hang out with me today?" Huang Wei remembered that Xiao Lin had been busy since returning to China, but he didn't see that he had left today. Meaning, I couldn't help asking.

Xiao Lin smiled embarrassedly. Since he returned to Beijing, he really rarely came to Grandpa Huang's place.He secretly complained that he was not filial, and decided that he must visit Grandpa Huang more often in the future.

Grandpa Huang retired this year. It must be very boring to be alone at home.

I think so, but I have to say what I have to say.

"Grandpa Huang, your old man is so insightful! You can tell right away that I have something to ask you. Isn't it Uncle Gu's birthday coming up? I promised to help elder brother and Fang Hua prepare presents, plus my own gift , a total of three are needed, but until now I have no idea."

Huang Wei just asked casually, who knows that Xiao Lin really stayed with him because of something.An angry Huang Wei slapped Xiao Lin on the head hard.

"You kid, don't you know how to coax Grandpa Huang with a nice word? Just say whatever you ask, you're really stubborn. "

Xiao Lin lowered his head, made a gesture of repentance, and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't this a gift that will be given soon? Grandpa Huang, you must help me! I am really at a loss."

Xiao Lin has always seldom showed too much emotion, and he seems to have a well-thought-out plan in everything he does.

It was rare to show such an appearance of agreeing with his age today, Huang Wei couldn't help laughing angrily at Xiao Lin's rascal appearance.

"Uncle Gu likes calligraphy and painting the most, but he doesn't show it on weekdays, because he is afraid that someone will make a fuss about it. You have a lot of famous paintings in your collection, so why don't you pick a few and send them to him?"

Huang Wei said with a smile, but if you look carefully, you can still see the maliciousness in his smile.

After hearing this, Xiao Lin immediately wrinkled into a bitter face.

His paintings of ancient celebrities have been collected with great effort, and there are only a few of them in total. Xiao Lin is very reluctant to give them away.

Seeing Xiao Lin's hesitation, Huang Wei smiled and said: "Okay, let's see your virtue. Grandpa has collected Zhan Ziqian's and Tang Yin's paintings here, you can give them as gifts."

Xiao Lin shook his head again and again, no matter how stingy he was with calligraphy and painting, he would not use Huang Lao's collection.

You must know that Zhan Ziqian, Gu Kaizhi, Lu Tanwei, and Zhang Sengyou, the "Three Masters of the Six Dynasties", are also known as the "Four Great Masters" in the history of Chinese painting.He is good at painting Taoism, figures, landscapes and miscellaneous paintings, especially chariots and horses. His skills can be as famous as Dong Boren, so he is called "Dong Zhan" in history.

Zhan Ziqian's position in the history of Chinese painting is very important. He laid the foundation of landscape painting and created the thread of green landscape painting.

His representative work "Spring Outing" has a lofty artistic conception and unique techniques, and has an extremely important position in the history of ancient painting.

As for Tang Yin and Tang Bohu, let alone, his reputation is definitely a household name and everyone knows it.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Huang actually had such a master's work in his hands, and Xiao Lin was absolutely reluctant to use it.

Touched by Huang Wei's love for him, Xiao Lin pretended not to care and said: "Grandpa Huang, I'm not in the political world, so I can just give that red sandalwood carved cloud and dragon pattern screen as a birthday present? Brother and Fang My brothers are both rookies in the political arena, so I need to be more cautious in giving them, how about I take Qiu Ying's landscape paintings and Yuan Mei's handwritten poems as their birthday gifts?"

Huang Wei pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's not bad. It's low-key and unobtrusive, but it fits your Uncle Gu's wishes."

Xiao Lin thought: no matter what, it would be more subtle than giving Zhan Ziqian and Tang Bohu's paintings.

Sending something like that out, regardless of the value of the thing itself, just thinking about the artistic content inside, Xiao Lin would feel heartache.

After deciding on the birthday ceremony, Xiao Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and became interested in joking: "If you, the old man, hadn't told Uncle Gu's preferences, I really didn't plan to give calligraphy and painting."

Huang Wei snorted and said, "Don't I know you yet? Those paintings look like lifeblood, even if you give Yuan blue and white, you won't give them."

Xiao Lin said with a smile: "It is said that apprentices are like masters, but am I not like your old man?"

Huang Wei patted him on the head, "You'll be talkative. It's rare that Uncle Gu takes good care of you. It's not in vain for Grandpa's painstaking efforts to give you a gift that suits him."

Xiao Lin was taken aback by Huang Wei's words, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought that Huang Wei wanted him to have a good relationship with the Gu family, so that he would have a lot of support in the future.

How did he know that Huang Wei wanted to lead the red line and become a moon elder.Although marriage is said to be independent these days, there are good choices. Taking care of their own children seems to have become the unanimous choice of the elderly.

After having dinner at Huang Wei's place, Xiao Lin just set off for the He family's villa.

Aunt Zhang was still the only one in the villa, and Grandpa He went out again.Xiao Lin felt that going in and out of the villa area was too troublesome, so he decided to find someone to clean up the courtyard, and live there when there was no one there.

As I was thinking in my heart, my phone rang.

As soon as Xiao Lin saw the call, the eldest brother He Xu.

The corner of his mouth couldn't help but bend, he picked up the phone, his voice was different from usual, "Brother."

"Linlin, what are you doing?"

When He Xu's voice came, Xiao Lin felt numb in his ears.I don't know if it's an illusion, but every time I receive a call from my eldest brother and hear his voice, my body always feels uncomfortable in one way or another.Otherwise it's crispy, or it's numb, and sometimes it's both crispy and numb, he can't help it.

"I've just finished washing, and I'm lying on the bed right now, trying to get sleepy. How about brother?"

"I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow, and I want to find someone to pick me up!" He Xu said with a smile.

"Brother, are you coming back tomorrow? That's great." Xiao Lin got up from the bed excitedly. "When will you arrive in the capital? Well, I'll pick you up."

Knowing that the eldest brother will be back tomorrow, Xiao Lin lost sleepiness immediately.After wandering around the room for a long time, it suddenly occurred to him that he didn't seem to have his own car...

He Xu's plane didn't arrive until five o'clock in the afternoon, so Xiao Lin got up early in the morning and found a housekeeping service company, asking them to clean up the courtyard before five o'clock in the afternoon.

On weekdays, the courtyard gardens are taken care of by dedicated staff, and the housekeeping staff only need to clean the rooms.

Xiao Lin's place is really too big, and the time required is very tight.Therefore, it took a total of 3000 yuan to settle the deal.

Xiao Lin went to the supermarket to buy some sets of bedding, and temporarily furnished the two bedrooms.

Looking around, it felt a little empty, Xiao Lin thought it would be better to go to the flower and bird market tomorrow to buy some fish and birds to put in.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Lin went out and took a taxi and went straight to the Capital Airport.
