Chapter 5

In the afternoon, He Yuxiu sent someone to dismantle the exhibition. There were more than [-] works in total.Xie Zhiwen still had class in the afternoon, so he went back to school first, lest he could not find anyone, he contacted a few young men with good legs and feet to help him carry things before leaving.He Yuxiu usually likes to take a nap for half an hour at noon, but now she is not in the mood to sleep anymore, so after dinner, she led her to Huayang Painting Hall.

After about an hour, all these paintings were taken down from the wall, and He Yuxiu felt inexplicably panicked seeing those paintings being taken down.Cheng Xianhe stood at the side, his eyes were dark and pretentious, which seemed to reveal the slightest hint of a businessman's interest in profit. He Yuxiu paused at the threshold before leaving, and turned his head to meet Cheng Xianhe's eyes. He evoked a mocking smile , sarcastically said: "Thanks to Mr. Cheng for taking care of me, I heard that Huayang Painting Hall has a high threshold as early as in Kyoto, and ordinary painters cannot hold exhibitions here. Now I have seen it with my own eyes. Don't be tripped over the threshold where money piles up."

"You..." Cheng Xianhe was obviously a little angry.

He Yuxiu didn't listen to what he said, and instructed someone to put those works in a wooden box and put them away properly.Then Cheng Xianhe raised his voice from behind: "Mr. He is very arrogant in the capital, but when you arrive in Ningpu, you have to be careful with what you say. After all, this is still our territory. You'd better be careful, and you will offend others if you talk too much."

He Yuxiu smiled back: "I don't need to worry about He's affairs, you'd better be careful about yourself."

Pedestrians on the street passed by and looked around, not knowing what was going on here, Cheng Xianhe was furious in his heart, after speaking, he tore off the flyer pasted at the door, snorted coldly, turned his head and entered the house.

Seeing this, He Yuxiu shook her head, her knuckles turned white, raised her hand and put it down again, cursing secretly: "Bastard..."

The helpers were moving those boxes onto the cart. A carriage barely accommodated all the paintings, but there was no room for people. He Yuxiu could only hire another rickshaw to take her back to the Lingqiu Jiang Pavilion.

Thinking about putting so many boxes in that cramped room in the Jiang Pavilion, he felt a dull pain in his head.

No, I must find a house to live in. He hasn't painted or bathed for several days.

Just thinking about it, the rickshaw came over.

"Grandpa...where are you going?"

He Yuxiu opened her mouth, "Go..."

"Mr. He!"

Before he could finish speaking, He Yuxiu was stunned when he heard a deep voice. When he turned around, he saw a small foreign car parked behind him.

The car door was still open, and on the left, near the entrance of Huayang Painting Hall, stood a man who looked not young, as if he had just gotten out of the car. The man was not tall, leaning on a cane, with gray temples , with a short, well-groomed beard on his chin, and wearing a well-fitting robe, he looked quite temperamental.

He Yuxiu looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"

Xu Yuanzhu hurriedly walked up to him, smiling all over his face, with several wrinkles forming a line at the corners of his eyes, "Mr. He, I have admired you for a long time. I came to see your art exhibition admiringly, but I didn't expect to see you before I entered the door. "

He Yuxiu smiled helplessly, "Thank you for the honor, but it's unfortunate that you came, my art exhibition...is closed."

The smile on Xu Yuanzhu's face froze, "Stop?"

He Yuxiu didn't want to talk too much with him. He was a little tired at this time, and smiled at Xu Yuanzhu apologetically, and said, "Sorry, it's a temporary decision. I can't see you anymore, please come back."

After all, he turned around and wanted to leave.

After only two steps, I heard the man shouting, "Mr. He, stop."

He Yuxiu paused, looked back, and saw Xu Yuanzhu approaching two steps, said with a smile: "Mr. He probably can't remember clearly, I went to Kyoto five years ago and met you at Fangxie Pavilion , That aspect impressed Xu very much, and I have always wanted to take this opportunity to ask you about painting. Now that you have come to Ningpu, it is also fate. Let Xu do his best as a landlord."

He Yuxiu looked at Xu Yuanzhu when he heard the word "Fangxie Pavilion", and his expression was a little surprised. His works were indeed exhibited in Fangxie Pavilion five years ago, but that exhibition was a group exhibition of painters, not At his solo exhibition, he was only in his twenties at that time, but he didn't expect this person to be there at that time.

"The exhibition was on display for seven days, and I was only there for one day. Were you there that day?"

Xu Yuanzhu nodded with a smile, "Exactly."

It is a lie to say that there is no emotion in my heart. I met him five years ago, and now I come to see his exhibition specially. This person must really like my paintings, "That is really fate."

"Yes, that's right. I've been looking for an opportunity to go to Kyoto to meet you. I didn't expect Mr. He to come to Ningpu. However, Mr. He, I heard that the exhibition was on display for half a month, so I didn't meet you on the opening day. Come on, I'm afraid that people will lose the mood of looking at the paintings, why are you withdrawing the exhibition?"

He Yuxiu sighed, "It's a long story."

He turned his head and glanced at the Huayang Painting Hall behind him, and said, "Probably because the environment is not acclimatized."

"Unsatisfactory?"

It was raining again, and He Yuxiu looked up, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, it's raining, thank you old man for your love for He, I have to hurry back."

"Wait a minute!" Xu Yuanzhu stopped him, "If Mr. He doesn't dislike it, I can take Mr. He back. I have a car, and it's a little faster."

He Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, and by the time he realized it, he was already in the car.

"Where do you live, sir?" asked the driver.

He Yuxiu sat in the back row and said softly, "I'm sorry, Lingqiu Jiangguan."

Xu Yuanzhu turned his head and glanced at him with a smile, "Mr. He not only draws well, but also looks very handsome. There is no change from five years ago."

"No, I'm getting older after all." He Yuxiu's face was a little hot, although she had been praised countless times in these years, she still couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed every time.Ordinary people would exchange a few words in a polite and courteous way. He Yuxiu is really poor in interpersonal communication, otherwise there would not be only a close friend like Xie Zhiwen for so many years, and the car suddenly fell into silence for a while.

Xu Yuanzhu was used to this kind of scene, so he chatted with him again very enthusiastically, asking him when he arrived in Ningpu, how was his stay in Ningpu, and whether he liked Ningpu's food and so on.

He asked a question and He Yuxiu answered it, and he arrived at the Lingqiu River Pavilion before he knew it.

The black car parked in front of the Lingqiu River Pavilion. Xu Yuanzhu looked at the dilapidated signboard and was a little surprised, "Mr. He lives here?"

He Yuxiu nodded, thanked Xu Yuanzhu, and got out of the car.

At this time, the rain was getting lighter, and Xu Yuanzhu's eyes moved from the plaque in the Najiang Pavilion to He Yuxiu's body, unconsciously showing a little pity.

He said with a smile: "Mr. He doesn't have to be so polite. If Mr. He has any difficulties in Ningpu, he can come to me. Another day Xu invites Mr. He to his home as a guest. Mr. He must appreciate it."

No matter how unreasonable He Yuxiu was, she still couldn't bear to brush away the three-point noodles that had just been given to her, and agreed after a moment of hesitation.

Talking to Xu Yuanzhu was delayed for a while, and he was a little tired when he returned to the house, so he sat and rested for a while.

He took off his clothes and tried to take the object out of his pocket as usual, but he couldn't find anything. He paused, thinking that he left it somewhere when he washed his face, so he searched the whole room, but there was still nothing. .

He put on his clothes and went down, "Xiaoer, have you seen a Zhuhua?"

"Ah? No?"

"Quick, help me find it."

As a result, I searched the entire Jiang Pavilion, but I didn't see it.

He Yuxiu was a little anxious, "Follow me to look outside?"

"Sir, is that something valuable?"

He Yuxiu bit her lip, "Yes, it's very precious."

The two assistants hurriedly followed him out to look for it. He Yuxiu searched all the way today, but couldn't find the bead flower.

"Maybe it was picked up by someone. It's hard to find."

The two guys were also quite tired, so He Yuxiu told them to go back first.Thinking about whether someone would pick it up and sell it to a pawn shop, he asked the pawn shop again, but he still couldn't find it.

Is it really not found?He Yuxiu thought not without disappointment.

He stood in the night wind for a long time, finally sighed, and returned to the Jiang Pavilion with his head downcast.

Unexpectedly, after going back, he would be even more irritable. The room he lived in was already full of boxes. He Yuxiu had a headache. Looking left and right, he felt that the room was cramped, and his body sweated a lot and was sticky. , he really wanted to take a bath.

He called the clerk who came to Jiangguan to do odd jobs, questioned him a bit, and seeing the hesitant appearance of the other person, he knew that he might not be able to do the laundry today, so he sighed, unable to argue with the boy, he just waved his hands and let him go down.After staying in the house for a while, he couldn't take it anymore, got up and put on his clothes to get to know Zhiwen's family in the evening, and discussed with him where to rent a house.

Xie Zhiwen thought for a while, and said: "If you are staying for a short time, you can stay with me. It happens that my house still has a spare wing, which can be cleaned up."

He Yuxiu shook her head and said: "You live with your parents, it's not convenient for me to come, besides, I may stay here for a while, it's not good to bother you all the time, it's better to rent a house, I'm comfortable living by myself. "

Xie Zhiwen smiled, "That's true, let's go out and have a look, I just know a few places that seem to be renting out."

The two agreed to go to see the house tomorrow, and He Yuxiu met Xie Zhiwen's parents face to face, and left without saying much.

Xie Zhiwen moved here in recent years. Due to a job change, he was transferred from Kyoto to a school in Ningpu to teach Chinese. Thinking that his elders were getting old, he brought them with him.Xie Zhiwen's parents, He Yuxiu, knew each other. They were neighbors across the street when they were children. At that time, He Yuxiu lived in his uncle's house, and his brothers and sisters were much older than him. Xie Zhiwen was just the same age as him, and they were in the same school. That's how they met .But Xie Zhiwen's parents don't seem to like him very much now. Although He Yuxiu is not very sophisticated, he also senses that Xie Zhiwen's parents treat him indifferently. He can't figure out the reason, and he doesn't want to deal with them too much.Thinking that after all, he is friends with Xie Zhiwen and not with his parents, so he doesn't care.

It rained again at night, and when I woke up, the sky cleared up, a rare sunny day, but it was mixed with the humidity in the room that hadn't faded away, making it very stuffy, He Yuxiu woke up early in the morning, and pushed it away like usual The window was ventilated, and the habit he had developed over the years made him wake up very early. The dew outside in the early morning had not dissipated, and it felt a bit smoky. A few bamboos were planted in the yard of Jiangguan, which was soaked in rain.When he got up, he drew a little picture, and he was in a good mood.

Because he made an appointment with Zhiwen yesterday to go to see the house today, he remembered that he could take a bath as soon as possible, and went out very quickly after finishing the painting.Unexpectedly, after reading a few places with Xie Zhiwen, he always felt that something was missing.The two of them were a little tired from early morning to noon. They sat resting in a shed outside a teahouse. He Yuxiu looked left and right, and was attracted by a small alley. There was a big picture on the wall of the alley The soap billboard, of course, is the beauty Lu Xiaodie from Ningpu, He Yuxiu pointed to it curiously and asked Zhiwen: "Zhiwen, did Lu Xiaodie really look like this?"
