Chapter 117
Shen Hao and Zhang Xiuya re-introduced each other. Shen Hao felt much more relaxed. Zhang Xiuya walked to the screen, looked at the screen on the wall, and nodded frequently.
Seeing Zhang Xiuya's appearance, Shen Hao seemed to be very interested in the words on the wall, and he also admired them quite well, like an expert. He asked softly, "Sister Xiuya, do you understand calligraphy?"
Zhang Xiuya smiled back and said, "I can't tell you, I just like it, Shen Hao, I heard from Dongsheng that you are very good at appraisal of treasures and a teacher. You should also like the traditional Chinese culture, right?"
Shen Haodundun, "My level is average, I basically know nothing about calligraphy, and treasure appraisal is just a fun thing."
"Shen Hao, you are so modest. Can you tell the authenticity of a bronze tripod?" Zhang Xiuya sat back on the sofa, picked up the objects on the table and looked at it, saying, "You can tell the authenticity of these things at a glance, right?"
Zhang Dongsheng poked his head out of the kitchen, "Sister, I'm all real, there's no fake, I won't show it to others easily. You two are distinguished guests, so I took it out."
"It's not easy, then I'm really lucky." Zhang Xiuya smiled.
Zhang Dongsheng came out of the kitchen with a stew pot in his arms, "Not only has good fortune, but also good taste. I know you like to eat stewed meat in our hometown. I specially bought high-quality pork belly and stewed it for you by stewing meat in the slow fire in my hometown. You can smell the fragrance."
Zhang Dongsheng opened the lid of the pot, and a fragrance came to his nose. Shen Hao looked into the pot. The meat inside was crystal clear and bright, and he felt appetite.
Zhang Xiuya smiled, "It's so fragrant, Dongsheng, thank you for your hard work."
"Sister, why are you and I polite?" Zhang Dongsheng covered the pot cover, "You two will continue to chat, I will clean up the restaurant, and we will have dinner right away."
After Zhang Dongsheng finished speaking, he left in the stew pot with him.
Zhang Xiuya picked up the bronze lord and looked at it and said, "This look is so beautiful."
"Yes, like a graceful lady, and she also exudes a royal family aura."
Zhang Xiuya nodded and picked up the bronze mirror again, "This one is more beautiful. You can think of many historical and cultural things when you see it. There are many poems about mirrors in our culture."
As soon as Zhang Xiuya finished speaking, Shen Hao's mind was like a movie, and the three hundred Tang poems in his mind flashed through him one by one.
"Yes, there are many such poems. Li Bai, Bai Juyi, and Jia Dao of the Tang Dynasty have all written them."
"Is that true?" Zhang Xiuya immediately became interested and looked at Shen Hao and said with a smile, "It seems that Teacher Shen has a very deep foundation in Chinese studies, and he immediately thought of so many poets."
"Shen Hao is knowledgeable." Zhang Dongsheng took a handful of chopsticks and came out of the restaurant. "Shen Hao, recite a few poems and let my sister listen to them. Don't think that except for them as leaders, we ordinary people are not educated."
"Dongsheng, what are you talking nonsense? Who said you are uneducated? You are not only cultured but also treasures, I don't have these things." Zhang Xiuya angrily glanced at Zhang Dongsheng.
Zhang Dongsheng laughed and approached, pointing to the things on the table, "Sister, you said it wrong. This is not mine, it is ours. If you like it, just take it as a gift for me to take office."
"I like this, can I take it away?" Zhang Xiuya gently shook the bronze mirror in her hand.
"Of course, I found this for you specifically. I know you like bronze mirrors." Zhang Dongsheng said, looking at Shen Hao again, "Shen Hao, prepare another ancient poem to help you liven up."
Shen Hao didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns when he came to eat today. It was really not easy to eat this meal. He didn't want to memorize it, but when he saw Zhang Xiuya and Zhang Dongsheng looking at him, he could only nod his head, so I would recite Bai Juyi's "The Mirror of Refining".
"Okay." Zhang Dongsheng shouted.
Shen Hao gently recited his voice, "The hundred refining mirrors are unconventional, the sun is so beautiful and only..."
Shen Hao looked at the bronze mirror on the table with his back. In an instant, it seemed that the mirror had aura. The poem in his mouth gently floated onto the mirror, and a thin cloud of mist rose. He recited the poem in front of the mirror, which seemed to have even more charm.
Zhang Xiuya and the others kept listening quietly. As soon as Shen Hao finished memorizing, Zhang Xiuya clapped her hands first, "That's great, Shen Hao, listen to you memorizing this poem and then looking at this bronze mirror, it feels even more beautiful. It really complements each other."
"Sister, I said Shen Hao is educated. Otherwise, Shen Hao could identify the authenticity of the bronze tripod."
Zhang Xiuya smiled and nodded.
"Dongsheng, stop praising me, you don't know my level." Shen Hao was worried that Zhang Dongsheng would not be able to praise him, so he quickly interrupted.
Zhang Dongsheng smiled and said, "Shen Hao is humble again, educated and humble. No wonder he can donate 500,000 yuan in one go. Sister, I'll give it to you this poem and this mirror."
Zhang Xiuya put the bronze mirror in the box, "Dongsheng, I appreciate your feelings and Shen Hao, and thank you too, but I can't take this mirror."
"Why? Sister, you don't think I'm going to bribe you. We are siblings, and I'll give you a mirror, just my brother's wish." When Zhang Dongsheng saw Zhang Xiuya put the bronze mirror back in his original place, he was immediately a little anxious.
Zhang Xiuya smiled and said, "I know this is your intention, but I really can't take it."
"Sister." Zhang Dongsheng wanted to say something, and Zhang Xiuya interrupted him, "Stop talking, eat. I'm hungry."
Zhang Dongsheng looked at Zhang Xiuya in disappointment and curled his lips.
Zhang Xiuya walked up to him and patted him, "What, because I confiscated your mirror and didn't even give me food. I came to you directly after the meal after the meal. You want me to go home hungry again."
Zhang Xiuya's face looked like her sister again.
Zhang Dongsheng couldn't help but smile and said, "How dare I starve you? Then do I want to stay in Jiangcheng from now on?"
"Just know, eat quickly." Zhang Xiuya smiled and entered the restaurant first.
Shen Hao looked at Zhang Dongsheng who was a little depressed, and then looked at the bronze mirror on the table. He thought to himself, was it because Zhang Xiuya didn't take the mirror? Because of this, Zhang Dongsheng didn't treat him as an outsider, but Zhang Xiuya didn't think so.
Or, Zhang Xiuya is just serious and unwilling to accept Zhang Dongsheng’s gift.
Shen Hao walked to Zhang Dongsheng and asked softly, "Dongsheng, is it because of me?"
Zhang Dongsheng glanced at Shen Hao and smiled, "It has nothing to do with you, my sister has this personality, let's have a meal."
Zhang Dongsheng pulled Shen Hao into the restaurant.
Zhang Xiuya had already washed her hands and sat at the dining table. Shen Hao looked at the dining table, and there were several plates of green cold dishes. There was a beautiful porcelain plate in the middle. The plate was stewed with meat in the earthen pot, which was very fragrant.
Zhang Xiuya said, "Dongsheng, your cooking skills are getting better and better, and you are almost catching up with your aunt's level."
"Sister, if it weren't for you, my ancestral skills would not be revealed at all." Zhang Dongsheng proudly greeted Shen Hao who had washed his hands and sat down. "The top chef of Hyatt Hotel can't make me stewed with my level of clay pot. Shen Hao, try it."
Shen Hao was already hungry. Zhang Dongsheng asked and picked up a chopstick and tasted it. It turned out to be good. The meat was smooth but not greasy, and it was clearly fat and thin, melted in the mouth. There was a faint fragrance of grass in the mouth.
"It's delicious." Shen Hao said.
Zhang Dongsheng smiled and took out a bottle of rice wine from the wine cabinet next to him and poured a glass of it for each person, "Sister, this is what my mother asked me to bring to you. It has been ten years of age, but she has never been willing to drink it. Home wine and hometown dishes are the best."
Zhang Xiuya looked at the rice wine in front of her, and was silent for a while, then picked up the glass, "Dongsheng, thank you aunt for me. If you have time, I will definitely go back to see her."
"Okay." Zhang Dongsheng and Zhang Xiuya clinked their glasses, and the two drank the wine in the glass.
Shen Hao looked around and thought, looking at Zhang Xiuya’s sincere expression just now, it means that he and Zhang Dongsheng’s family should have a good relationship. Perhaps just as Zhang Dongsheng said, Zhang Xiuya once lived in Zhang Dongsheng’s house.
After eating for a while, Zhang Xiuya said softly, "Shen Hao, today Director Sun of the Education Bureau reported your materials to the city, and personally asked me to report on the spiritual civilization construction of the Education Bureau. It seems that the Education Bureau attaches great importance to your affairs."
Shen Hao was thinking about how to tell Zhang Xiuya about withdrawing the materials. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiuya said it first, and there was no need to worry anymore. He immediately said, "Mayor Zhang, no, Sister Xiuya, I was about to tell you about this."
"Oh, then do you say that?" Zhang Xiuya put down her chopsticks and looked at Shen Hao.
Shen Haodunton.
"Shen Hao, just say whatever you have. My sister is different from other leaders. She talks about democracy, right, sister." Zhang Dongsheng laughed.
Zhang Xiuya glanced at him, "You're just talking too much."
Zhang Dongsheng smiled.
Zhang Xiuya looked at Shen Hao again, "Shen Hao, just say anything if you have it. There are no outsiders today, and it is not a meeting."
Shen Hao nodded, Zhang Xiuya's words gave him courage, "Sister Xiuya, I hope you will tell Director Sun, remove the materials reported to me from the city, and change another person."
"Why, this is a good thing. You have done the donation, why do you need to replace someone?" Zhang Xiuya looked puzzled.
"It's too troublesome to be a celebrity, Shen Hao doesn't want to be a celebrity." Zhang Dongsheng interrupted again.
Zhang Xiuya looked at him again, and Zhang Dongsheng hurriedly shut up.
Shen Hao continued, "Sister Xiuya, Dongsheng is right. I really don't want to be a celebrity. The purpose of my initial donation is actually different from the ones in the newspaper. My purpose is very simple, to stay in Mingyu and continue to be a teacher. Those words of excitement were written later, and they had nothing to do with me."
"Shen Hao, the more you talk about it, I am more confused. Mingyu is a private middle school. One of its teacher positions is not worth 500,000, right?" Zhang Xiuya's eyes were full of doubts.
Shen Hao nodded and said, "Yes, for others, this position is not worth 500,000, but for me, it is worth it."
"Do you have a special relationship with Mingyu?" Zhang Xiuya asked.
Shen Hao thought to himself, Zhang Xiuya is so amazing, she wants to break the casserole and ask to the end. Thinking of it, she smiled, "Sister Xiuya, it actually has nothing special. I just like Mingyu and like to be a teacher there, so I am willing to donate the 500,000 yuan, but I really haven't thought about being a model, nor do I want to be a model. You just let Director Sun remove my materials."
