In the evening, Old Man Zhu and Monk Bo came and saw Four reading a book. Old Man Zhu said, "It's not suitable for girls to read this kind of majestic ancient text. After all, it was written by a man. You won't be able to keep up with it, so it's useless even if you read it."
Four was very familiar with the old man and asked curiously, "Then what should I read?"
"Just read some poems. It's best for girls to read poems." Old Man Zhu was also very fond of Four's intelligence and couldn't change his habit of wanting to be a teacher.
"Uncle, you're obviously expecting a girl to be virtuous if she doesn't have any talent. That's old-fashioned thinking." Four disagreed with Old Man Zhu's idea. She believed that reading ancient texts required cultivation, so why couldn't she read them?
Monk Bo continued, "You're misunderstanding it again. In the past, once a woman studied and knew how to read, there was no place for her to use them. Reading was also a trivial task. Anyway, she didn't seek to improve herself and just read a few books of obscene sayings in her room. She would have a stomach full of romantic stories about gifted scholars and beautiful women. This woman would look down on people on the streets and provoke many frivolous people, so she became a joke. That's why people didn't ask for the reason. That's why there's a saying that a girl without talent is virtuous. It also taught women to not show their faces in public. "
Four said, "Isn't that just killing one with one stick and catching all of them in one net? The ancient people were also fools. Not all women are like that. If they were decent girls, they would be the same at home and outside. They would be generous and not laugh lightly. Why can't they go out? "
Li He said, "That's why Pan Jinlian shouldn't have opened the window!"
Old Man Zhu said, "What's the point of making Pan Jinlian open the window?"
If Pan Jinlian hadn't opened the window, she wouldn't have met Ximen Qing. If she hadn't met Ximen Qing, she wouldn't have cheated on him. If she hadn't cheated on him, Wu Song wouldn't have been forced to go to Liangshan. If Wu Song hadn't gone to Liangshan, Fang La wouldn't have been captured and we would have been able to take over the Great Song. Without these bloody wars and unequal treaties, China might have already surpassed the United States and Japan to become the most developed country in the world. "Li He was speaking nonsense with a straight face, but he was actually exaggerating the cause and effect between the events.
"That sounds about right," Four couldn't react for a moment.
Old Zhu retorted, "What do you mean by 'right'? If Pan Jinlian wants to be a playboy, then even if there's no Ximen Qing, there'll still be Dongmen Qing or Nanmen Qing."
The older, the wiser. His words hit the nail on the head.
Four looked at the time and knew that the two old men wanted to stay at home for dinner, so he put down the book and went to cook.
Old Zhu placed the bag of fertilizer on the table, "These were collected recently. Do you want to take a look?"
"I don't want to look at it anymore." Li He had become numb to antiques. He went to lock the door and went to the basement with the two old men. His basement was almost full. He had collected more and more antiques over the years. He only knew that the antiques were good, but he couldn't tell what was good about them.
Monk Bo slowly caressed the pieces of porcelain and sighed, "In terms of private collection, you're the best in the country."
"In terms of luck, he's also the best. He clearly doesn't know anything and doesn't know anything, but he has so many good things." Old Zhu didn't forget to mock Li He.
"I don't think there's much. There's more museums." In Li He's mind, the more the better. He didn't plan to open a museum, but he could buy a big villa in the future and put up a few floors. It would be great for him to show off.
Monk Bo said, "Things are about quality, not quantity."
The basement outside was full, so he naturally started to put things in the basement inside. Li He saw that Old Zhu had put up a wooden bracelet. It was yellow with a hint of green, and the texture was very beautiful. He asked curiously, "What is this made of? It's quite heavy. "
"Gold Silk Nanmu Bracelet. It's a little brown. It's probably made of old materials from the beams. It can't compare to agarwood, but it's still very good."
Li He asked, "Then I'll give it to Four to play with. It's quite nice for a girl to wear."
"Okay." Old Zhu didn't comment.
During dinner, halfway through the wine, Old Man Zhu took advantage of the time when Fourth Bro went to boil water to ask Li He to do something for him, "I'm just asking you. If you can't do it, then forget it."
"Your grandson?" Li He asked curiously.
"Of course, his father is spoiled and doesn't have any ambition. He won't be able to get into university, and he doesn't have a job either. "I know you're in business, so I was wondering if you could help me." Old Zhu's words were quite unnatural.
According to Old Zhu's connections, it wouldn't be difficult to arrange a state-owned unit for his grandson. However, this grandson of his was completely ignorant of the ways of the world. After entering a unit, he would offend a group of people, causing Old Zhu to be in a difficult situation. This time, he could only ask Li He to help him fool around so that he wouldn't be a useless person at home.
That grandson of Old Man Zhu probably wrote a few crooked poems or a few pieces of tofu. Someone praised him a few words, and when they got serious with him, he became even more of a madman. He said that the poor were proud and arrogant, that the rich were the common people. He didn't think that his poverty was caused by his laziness and gluttony.
"It's not a big deal. Tell him to come and find me after the new year." Li He and Old Zhu could be considered to be close friends, so he naturally wouldn't refuse. "However, if I really teach him a lesson, you can't be angry."
He now began to slowly summarize the things that Old Man Lee had told him about how to be a person and do things. What kindness, what sincerity, what sincerity, and what sincerity, all of these things were just a routine.
Old Man Lee told him that he had the temperament of a camel. If he didn't make a sound, he could slowly stroll in the desert for a week. You're not too arrogant, nor are you too self-deprecating. You're quite suitable to float like this. You don't need to find a hole to crawl through, and you don't need to have any bad intentions. To be able to float on the waves and float for a long time, that's your ability and your way of protecting yourself.
Old Zhu said, "I wanted to beat him up a long time ago, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. You just need to teach him a lesson. As long as he doesn't die, it's fine. If he's injured, I'll take him to the hospital and won't give you any trouble. "
"Alright, but you can't blame me if you don't do well."
"What do you mean? I can't blame you. I just can't beg you. "Old Man Zhu was very helpless. He drank a cup of wine and continued," Pan Garden and Liu Li Chang are getting more and more lively now. Many people have gone to the countryside to collect goods. There are quite a few good things. "
"Just take them when you meet them. Don't you have enough money?"
Monk Bo said, "I'm afraid that your heart will ache. If you let the two of us take them all, then it'll be a huge price."
"Take them all, take them all." Li He smiled. He was just thinking about how to spend the money. It was pretty good to use it to collect antiques. He then asked, "How much does it cost?"
Old Man Zhu said, "Two to three hundred thousand."
Li He sighed, "Spend it, spend it to death. There's no need to save it for me. Later, the two of you will each carry a bag of money back."
After the two old men left, Four began to clean up the dining table.
Li He said, "Just clean up and go to bed early. We have to wake up early tomorrow."
"How much time can it take to wash the dishes?" Four still insisted on cleaning up the kitchen and the room before going to bed.
"Wait a minute." Li He gave her the golden bracelet, "Take it and play with it."
"It's pretty." Four naturally couldn't bear to part with it and immediately put it on his hand.
This bracelet could be worth at least seventy to eighty thousand in the future. Li He didn't tell him that it was expensive and that he should protect it carefully. If he liked it, he would naturally love it. If he didn't like it, then he would just throw it away.
