The old uncle who came to catch the autumn wind was a little panicked. He said "Ouch": "It's getting late, everyone should sit down first."
"Please wait a moment." Zhao Xingyan squeezed in presumptuously, "Why don't we let her finish what she said. It's half-sentence. It's so uncomfortable to be stuck."
"Yes." Someone on the side said, "It's been delayed. After a while, I’m not afraid to wait for a few more minutes. "
Just when my cousin was about to retort, the old lady laughed cheerfully: "It sounds very interesting. Since everyone is not hungry, let’s just watch the fun."
The world is huge, and the birthday boy is the oldest. The oldest person present spoke, and it was another party, so no one dared to speak.
Meng Tang turned around and nodded slightly to the old lady.
Wei Chuan pushed her lower back with his palm and said, "It's okay, you tell me."
Meng Tang cleared his throat and continued: "The pulp of the old boxwood is formed over the years. It feels like warm jade. If you look at it at an angle, you can see a faint amber halo."
"But the piece on display is coated with transparent It was painted, and the paint was rubbed around before it was dry, forming an artificial patina, so there are no traces of the passage of time. Meng Tang touched a bulge in the wood carving and said, "Generally, in this case, the patina on the convex place will be thicker than the concave place."
This little girl really has two brushes.
Can’t touch it even if it’s not familiar, and must wear gloves.
Meng Tang snorted lightly and tapped the beak of the crane: "The craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty paid attention to how the iron pen produced flowers, and they would cut according to the nature of the wood. Here, the cut was made with a diagonal knife, but it deliberately imitated the shape of the knife of the craftsmen at that time. There are less conspicuous traces of cutting the wood grain. If you have a magnifying glass, you should be able to see it clearly."
After that, Meng Tang gave several details in turn, making it impossible to refute.
I couldn’t refute it even if I wanted to, because no one understood it, but inexplicably, they all believed in Meng Tang.
I can't even recite these professional names.
Zhao Xingyan's eyes were completely opened, and he asked in surprise: "So...this crane and deer spring together is fake?"
Meng Tang nodded: "It is indeed fake, but even if it is a high imitation, it has a certain level of craftsmanship, the shape is quite accurate, the distressing process is natural, and the knife skills are also remarkable. Overall, it has some value."
Zhao Xingyan clapped his hands and looked at Meng Tang with admiration: "You little girl, you look young, but you are actually experienced and professional. When did you learn wood carving?"
"Five years old." Meng Tang smiled.
Zhao Xingyan patted Wei Lifeng's shoulder and expressed his affirmation.
"No, what you said is a lie is a lie." My cousin was unhappy, "You are talking nonsense, how can you be at ease."
Wei Chuan shouted to the waiter in the distance: "Let your security come over and kick people out."
It’s enough to give them face.
"Girl, you can't be like this, you're just a little girl, how can you say that I'm fake? Even if it's fake, maybe I've been deceived."
Wei Chuan sneered. Voice: "Listen to what you say and there is no contradiction. When my grandfather passed away, you didn't come after three funerals. I'm being polite if I don't kick you out directly today."
Those who came here today are all close partners, relatives and friends.
Everyone has heard about the old man of the Wei family, so no one will talk about what Wei Chuan did.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Wei Lifeng said hello and arranged for everyone to enter their seats.
Vivian took the opportunity to come over and smiled at Meng Tang: "I finally know why he likes you."
The young people were all at the same table. Meng Tang sat down with Vivian and laughed: "Why?"< br/>
Vivian said: "The way you looked just now was full of irresistible charm. When I confessed to him, what do you think he said?"
Meng Tang shook his head, very curious.
Vivian came closer and said to Meng Tang: "He said that he has seen too many beautiful girls since he was a child. He doesn't care about appearance, but pays more attention to the inside."
"Every normal person who has read a book and is well-educated has some inner qualities, but not everyone's inner qualities can impress him."
"When you specialize in the field you are good at, you will unconsciously attract everyone's attention, and Wei Chuan is just one of them."
"When the mountains look up to the mountains, love comes. "
Meng Tang was startled, and Wei Chuan walked over and patted her shoulder: "Why are you dazed? Let's eat."
Meng Tang smiled at him and picked up the chopsticks.
Vivian's words left a deep mark on Meng Tang's heart, like a carving knife cutting into wood, which will not break easily after the passage of time.
The birthday banquet ended at three or four in the afternoon. After seeing off the guests, Wei Chuan rested on the sofa with Meng Tang in his arms.
Tomorrow is Sunday. Wei Siyuan glanced at the two of them and asked, "How about we go back together? We'll stay at home tonight."
Mengtang looked at Wei Chuan subconsciously, and Wei Chuan refused directly: "No, let's go back to Compaq."
Chu Yin walked over with heavy steps and sat down.
Wei Chuan raised his eyes and asked, "Grandma is gone?"
Chu Yin lowered her shoulders: "We've sent it back, it's almost done here. Will you and Meng Tang go back with us?"
Wei Chuan said, "You guys go first, we'll go back later. Kang Bo, Meng Tang has to go back to school tomorrow, and there are a lot of things going on in her studio."
Chu Yin didn't quite understand: "Studio?"
Wei Chuan said: "In the wood carving studio in the department, she is sculpting large pieces this semester, and she applied for a dedicated workbench from the school and spends all day in it."
Chu Yin paused and said to Meng Tang, "You still have to pay attention to your health. I will ask my aunt to make soup for you and send it to school. The food in your school is okay, but there is no serious nutritious soup. It is impossible for your school to have the ingredients for soup at home."
"This is a good idea." Wei Chuan was the first to nod in agreement, "She is too thin."
Meng Tang came to Wei Chuan and said, "...No need, it's too much trouble."
"It's no trouble, just ask the driver to deliver it every day, and then ask him to bring it back after you eat."
"Okay." Chu Yin felt a little lonely, "Then we'll leave first. You and Meng Tang go back and pay attention to safety."
Meng Tang stood up to see them off.
Chu Yin walked to the door of the hotel and looked back.
After sitting in the car, Wei Lifeng turned to ask her: "What are you looking at?"
Chu Yin said: "Meng Tang looks a little thin, and there is so much physical work all day long, I'm worried that my body will not be able to bear it."
"And if they get married in the future, they will have to recuperate and have children. The process of recuperation is already slow, so it is better to start taking action now."
Wei Lifeng: "...I said you are thinking too far ahead. Don't mention this in front of Xiaochuan, he will definitely quarrel with you."
"What's the fuss about?" Chu Yin snorted, "Look at Xiaochuan, you have identified her. Even if you don't get married after graduation, you still have to get engaged, right?" , and..."
h "And what?" Chu Yin rolled her eyes at Wei Lifeng, "What are you doing half-way?"
h "And it's hard to say whether you can live in Z city in the future." Wei Lifeng glanced at Chu Yin.
Chu Yin was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? Where do they live if they don't live in city Z?"
Wei Lifeng looked at her: "What do you think?"
"Yanqing?" Chu Yin suddenly jumped up from her seat, "Did Xiaochuan tell you? That he would return to Yanqing with Meng Tang in the future?"
"Be patient." Wei Lifeng held her down. "Yanqing is the birthplace of boxwood carving. Meng Tang is bound by identity and is the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage. The policy requires that the inheritor must permanently reside in the place of declaration."
Chu Yin’s eyes were dull: "In other words, my son will be equivalent to a wife in the future?" , Meng Tang had no choice, not to mention there was an old man in her family who needed to be taken care of. Chu Yin suspected that Wei Lifeng was brainwashing herself. She tilted her body and said to Wei Lifeng:
< br/> "This is the only son I have."
Wei Lifeng said "Oh": "Then imagine, if they live in Z city after graduation, do you think they will live with us?"
Chu Yin suddenly stopped talking.
Wei Lifeng patted her hand: "What do you care about him? The more you control, the worse it will be. Don't make yourself suffer."
Chu Yin could only say that she had to learn her husband's mentality.
The two people who were very thoughtful returned to Campanile after resting in the hotel for half an hour.
Not long after he sat down, Wei Chuan's mobile phone received a notice of a sports charity event.
Meng Tang saw his fingers typing non-stop and asked, "What are you doing?"
"A sports charity event." Wei Chuan said, "The coach is confirming with me, I will reply."
Meng Tang said "hmm" and lay down with his leg on his head.
Wei Chuan took the opportunity to lower his head and kiss her, then continued to reply to the message.
Meng Tang's cell phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was a call from Meng Yuchun, so she quickly answered it.
"How are you today?" The old man went straight to the topic.
Meng Tang said: "It went pretty well, except that I came across a fake, which was exactly the same as our Helu Tongchun."
Meng Yuchun laughed: "So you went on a holiday?"
Hence " If it weren’t for the real thing at home, I really wouldn’t have been able to tell it at first sight.” Meng Tang said, “The skills are pretty good, but I don’t know how to fake it.”
"I'm back." Meng Tang said, "Although I've been learning to carve large pieces on the video all day long, I always feel like there's something missing across the screen, so I'd better go back."
But then I thought about it, they are so old and they don’t hold banquets, so they just need to get a certificate.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Tang was in a daze.
Wei Chuan touched her face and asked: "What's wrong?"
Meng Tang shook his head: "Nothing, grandpa called and asked if he would be back during the National Day."
"What did you answer?"
"Come back." Meng Tang looked into his eyes, "What about you? Will you stay with me this time?"
