Although Li Mo doesn't pay much attention to the company's operation, Chen Feng sends him emails on time every week, mainly work reports. Therefore, although he rarely goes to the company, he can understand the company's overall situation.

Because the Wonderful Charity Fund is special and has a large amount of funds, once the money is not properly audited, it is easy for others to catch loopholes. Therefore, the moral requirements for each employee are very high. You don’t need to be so brilliant, but you must be profound.

Be aware of your job position.

Zhou Wangbing will definitely not be able to stay any longer. As for whether he needs to compensate for the later maintenance costs of the car, that is a matter of company policy.

Putting all those troubles aside, Li Mo asked about the uncle.

"He and my dad are cousins. You met him when we were kids. He is a few months older than my dad. When he was young, my uncle worked in a flower company and was very good at cultivating flowers and green plants. Later he talked to the boss's daughter about

He is in love, but his boss dislikes his background and does not agree with the two of them being together."

"What happened next?"

"My dad said that the girl was later forced to marry a well-matched man, and my uncle was so disheartened that he returned to his hometown to farm. When my parents got married, my grandfather's family had no money, so it was his uncle who took care of him.

I secretly supported the money I earned and gave it to my dad, so

The two of them have a very good relationship. The uncle's house is also very old, and my dad has been trying to rebuild it for him, but he doesn't want to. He has been living alone for so many years, and others have introduced him to it, but he refused.

.Said I have loved you and will have no regrets in this life."

Li Mo was a little moved.

Uncle Yingying's name is Liu Hongqing. The house he lives in is a three-room tile-roofed house with an independent kitchen. At this time, some neighbors at home were chatting and saw Liu Yingying walking into the house with a young man. One of them was about fifty years old.

The man quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Yingying is here, is this your boyfriend?"

"Uncle, can you take a closer look and see who he is?"

Liu Yingying pulled Li Mo to Liu Hongqing and pointed at his face.

"I think I've seen it before, and I seem to have some impression."

"Uncle, this is Li Mo."

"Li Mo? Your father's apprentice?" Liu Hongqing looked at Li Mo carefully again and said with some confusion, "I remember he was fair and clean when he was a child. What a handsome guy. Now,

How come you are so dark?"

"Uncle, I went to Africa for a trip, and I came back with a tan like this. The sun there is more poisonous, and it will turn white in a few months." Li Mo explained hurriedly.

"Oh, you are really your little guy. I haven't seen you for almost ten years. Now you are taller than me and your body is strong. Come on, sit down and I will make you a cup of tea."

"I didn't expect that Chuan Qing's daughter would become more and more beautiful as she grew older. I had seen a TV series she starred in before. Although she is not the heroine, I think she is even more beautiful than the heroine."

"It's thanks to Lao Liu that he has a beautiful daughter-in-law. Yingying, don't stand here and drink some tea with us. Your dad brought it to your uncle from the magic city. Let's come over and enjoy the fine tea."

The neighbors were all elderly people, so Liu Hongqing pinched some tea leaves, which was the best Taiping Houkui. Making tea in rural areas is not so elaborate, just pour a cup of boiling water into an old-fashioned teapot and it's ready.

"It's not like in a big city. Drinking tea at home is just a matter of taste. Your master even brought me a tea set before. I had to go through such tedious procedures to drink tea. I found it too annoying, so I kept it at home.

Never used it."

"City people are particular about drinking tea because they are too busy. It's like in the countryside. When you go out to pick up farm tools, you have to go to the fields to work. You are too busy to work, so there is no leisure time to have a tea ceremony. Follow the Romans and drink whatever you like. As long as

Just be in a good mood."

Li Mo said with a smile.

"What you said is exactly what I like. It's not like that boy from the old Zhou family. He has only been in the city for a few years and he always looks arrogant when he comes back. Li Mo, don't imitate him in the future. You must behave in a certain way."

It’s better to be down-to-earth.”

"Don't worry, uncle, I understand very well."

"Uncle, I brought Xiao Mo here because I want to see the porcelain you treasure. Take it out quickly and have a look."

"Yes, yes, you guys sit down first. I'll take it out from the bedroom." Liu Hongqing entered the bedroom, and soon he was holding a rectangular box made of wood, then placed it on the table and opened the lock. There was a round wooden box lying in it.

shaped porcelain.

"Uncle, I'll get it."

Li Mo stood up immediately when he saw the porcelain, with a glimmer of light in his eyes. He carefully took out the porcelain and placed it on the table.

This porcelain is shaped like a pen holder, with a height of about 15 cm, a diameter of about 18 cm, and a bottom diameter of about 17 cm. It is made of porcelain and is cylindrical. It has an open mouth, straight walls, and a large flat bottom. It is painted with white glaze on the inside and outside, and the outer wall is painted.

It is colorful. The rim is painted with miscellaneous treasures and brocade flowers. The theme pattern on the abdomen depicts four concubines and sixteen sons playing in the courtyard.

The pattern is unfolded according to the body of the cylinder, and four women and sixteen children are seen with different expressions. The women have plump faces, high buns, long skirts, eyebrows like crescent moons, and noble temperaments. Some are reading seriously without any distractions, and some are looking attentively.

While plucking the strings, some held their chins in one hand and stretched out their scrolls to look at the paintings. The shapes were lifelike and ready to come out.

Some of the sixteen sons listened to the piano and watched paintings, some played chess, some were playing around, some were playing hide and seek, some were organizing books, and some were whispering in their ears. They all looked lively and cute, childlike.

Full of interest and vivid images.

The cylinder is covered with paintings. In addition to a group of figures, there are also trees, flowers, grass, stone tables, and several benches. The picture is vivid and interesting, and has a beautiful meaning of hoping for a successful son, a virtuous wife and a filial son.

Li Mo looked at the bottom of the circle again, and there was a standard blue and white block letters with the inscription 'Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty'.

Liu Hongqing actually has a genuine pen holder made by the four concubines and sixteen sons of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty in his home.

Seeing that Li Mo remained silent, Liu Yingying asked after a long time: "Xiao Mo, how about this porcelain?"

Li Mo put the pen holder on the table, looked up at Liu Hongqing and asked with a smile: "Uncle, this porcelain is called a pen holder in terms of function. When you watch historical dramas, many dignitaries will have similar ones on their study tables.

This thing is just for putting brushes."

"It turns out to be called a pen holder." Liu Hongqing nodded slightly, and then laughed at himself, "I have been collecting it for more than 20 years, but I didn't know it was a pen holder until now."

"Uncle, is this pen holder inherited from your family or acquired from outside?"

Liu Hongqing drank a cup of tea, with a hint of reminiscence on his face. After a while, he sighed and said: "This is a gift from my first love to me. Time flies so fast. It's almost twenty-six years ago. Time is not forgiving."

, I’ll get old if I wait and wait.”

"Uncle, are you saying that this porcelain was given to you by your girlfriend back then?"

"Yes, she said that this porcelain was very valuable and meaningful, and asked me to keep it well and never throw it away at any time. Later, after she got married, I came back here with the porcelain. Li Mo, this

Is porcelain really valuable?"

Although there were outsiders present, Li Mo still nodded.

"Back then she said the pattern on it was very meaningful. Can you tell me what it means?"

Li Mo was silent before he slowly said: "This pattern is called the pattern of four concubines and sixteen sons. It is relatively common on official kiln porcelain during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It represents the meaning of 'hoping for a successful son, a virtuous wife and a filial son'."

Liu Hongqing muttered a few words, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

"Uncle, it has been so many years, and you have kept your promise to her and kept it very well. But judging from this meaning, she must have been very affectionate towards you back then."

Liu Yingying comforted him sweetly, and she felt particularly sad. The uncle was a kind and affectionate person, and she still remembered his first love in her heart after all these years.

"Hong Qing, if you want to be more open, you guys can chat first. We're going back to make lunch. We'll have tea together in the afternoon when we have time."

Several neighbors came to see her one after another, and Liu Hongqing wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath and said: "Later, I secretly went back to the Magic City to see her, and she was very unhappy. Her father found her a well-matched man back then.

People, but later both families suffered losses in business.

The family was in dire straits. I went back three times later, but never saw her again. I heard that her husband often beat her and later divorced. I asked my former colleagues to inquire about her whereabouts, and I only found out that she and

My parents went to Kyoto and took their two children with them."

Li Mo and Liu Yingying looked at each other. They didn't expect that so many things had happened more than 20 years ago.

"Uncle, you didn't go to Kyoto to look for her again?"

"No, what can I do if I find her? I am broke and can't give her a happy life. Finding her will not do any good except adding trouble to her." Liu Hongqing drank the tea in the cup in one breath.

He exhaled and continued, "After so many years, we are all getting old. I just hope that she can live well and that her children will be filial to her. By the way, how much is this pen holder worth?"

"This is an authentic five-color pen holder from Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. The market price is almost over one million."

"How many?"

Liu Hongqing was slightly dumbfounded, and his voice rose a few points. This pen holder is actually worth more than a million. No wonder she said it was very valuable back then.

"Uncle, you have to keep this porcelain carefully." Li Mo had to remind him.

"That's all, Yingying, uncle, I am alone and have no heirs after my death. You can take this pen holder with you. Keeping it with you is safer than leaving it at home."

"How can that be okay? This is just a thought of yours."

"You are already old, why should you talk about your thoughts?"

Li Mo asked at this time: "Uncle, do you still want to find her again and see how she is doing now? If you want to, I have some connections in Kyoto and there should be a chance to find her or find her.

relatives."

Are you looking for it? Twenty-six years have passed. What will you say when you find it?

"Xiao Mo is right. He has a lot of connections in Kyoto. As long as their family is in Kyoto, Xiao Mo can find them. As long as she is still well, no matter what happens, you can secretly see her again, and that will work.

I am completely relieved and it has resolved the knot that I have felt for so many years.”

Liu Yingying's words hit his heart. Liu Hongqing's expression changed slightly and he muttered: "Can I still find her?"

"Why not? Such a meaningful pen holder was handed over to you by her for safekeeping. If there is a chance to meet again, you can hand over this well-kept pen holder to her again. I think that would be more valuable than keeping it for me.

Makes sense.”
