Chapter 226 Lotus Lord(1/3)
"Judge Hou, please introduce me. This is my girlfriend Qi Yu."
"Qi Yu, this is Judge Hou Changping, from the Executive Bureau of the Intermediate People's Court."
"Judge, I have long admired your name." Qi Yuluo generously stretched out his hand and shook it.
Today she is wearing a purple silk dress and black high heels. Her hair is not tied up but draped casually on her shoulders. She looks gentle and charming.
"Mr. Gao and Miss Qi are really talented and beautiful, a couple of gods." Hou Changping said beautiful words.
"Thank you for the award. Is this your noble master? He is truly a talented person."
The little guy was a little shy. It might be the first time he saw such a beautiful woman like Qi Yu, so he glanced around uncomfortably. He wanted to look at her more, but he was also afraid of being scolded for being rude.
"Haha, this kid in my family is introverted, don't be surprised."
Hou Changping pulled the child's head embarrassedly.
Gao Bin reconciles:
"It's okay, the children all accept birth."
"Yes, Judge Waiting, don't blame the child, please come inside, my dad is in the study."
Entering the villa, there was no one in the living room. When I went up the stairs to the study, I saw an old man with gray hair but a moral integrity standing behind the desk, splashing ink on the paper with a pen.
Qi Yu walked in and held the old man's arm:
"Dad, this is Gao Bin, my boyfriend."
"Hello, uncle!" Gao Bin bowed slightly.
"Haha, Xiao Gao, I haven't seen you for a long time." Gao Bin was stunned. Not only him, but Qi Yu was also stunned.
"Dad, have you seen it?"
"Xiao Gao probably doesn't remember. It was your birthday when you were a child, and I was invited by your parents to attend the party.
At that time, Qi Yu had just been born and I didn’t take her with me. Your father and I even made a joke at that time, thinking that we wanted to give you a baby to kiss."
Mr. Qi recalled the past and couldn't help but sigh:
"Thirty years have passed. How are your parents?"
Qi Yu quickly said:
"Well, my uncle and aunt passed away last year."
"What?" Mr. Qi was shocked, obviously he didn't know the news.
Gao Bin smiled bitterly:
"I left last year, old man. I didn't expect that Qi Yu and I would still have such a fate. It seems that some things are really destined."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yu looked at Gao Bin with a different look.
But Gao Bin didn’t forget today’s business:
"Just talk about our business, Judge Waiting, don't mind."
"It's okay, it's okay." Hou Changping waved his hand.
Mr. Qi cheered up and waved to the child:
"Come on, young man, write two words and see."
Hou Changping gave his son a push. The little boy no longer had stage fright. He grabbed the paper on the table and wrote a few big words on the paper.
Gao Bin thought it was just like that. Children in the city who had taken calligraphy specialty classes were almost at this level.
However, Mr. Qi was entrusted by his daughter and knew that this child's status was unusual, so he used a lot of euphemistic comments when commenting.
In short, he accepted this child. As for Hou Changping’s tuition fee, no one paid attention to it.
Originally, Gao Bin had to pay their tuition alone, but now that he has this relationship, he naturally doesn't mention that issue and just treats it as helping his future son-in-law.
After deciding on the matter of accepting a disciple, Qi Yu arranged a car to take Hou Changping and his son home.
Gao Bin stayed at home and had a light meal, during which time Mr. Qi directly began to urge the marriage.
However, Gao Bin and Qi Yu are both people with ideas, and they are not in a hurry to get married.
In any case, with the approval of the old man, the relationship between the two has taken a big step forward.
After finishing the meal, he said goodbye and left. Qi Yu sat in the passenger seat, facing Gao Bin, and said softly:
"I didn't expect that we almost got married."
"Yeah, I didn't expect it either. It seems that we are really destined."
Although Qi Yu couldn't bear to see Gao Bin's stinky appearance, she still couldn't help but nod. This matter was indeed very mysterious, and she had to admit it.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"Go to Xiangshui Bay?"
"Okay, let's try our luck and buy some good things for the club."
Gao Bin has an antique shelf in his home, which is 7 stories high. There are separate small spotlights on each floor and every partition. There are dozens of antiques scattered here and there.
Through the glass door, there is a simple, elegant and solemn atmosphere, which brings the whole home to a higher level.
These dozens of antiques are all authentic, and they are also the most precious wealth left to him by his father.
If these antiques are auctioned together, Gao Bin will become a multi-millionaire and he will not have to worry about life for the rest of his life.
Of course, he won't sell these things.
Xiangshui Bay Cultural Relics Market is the largest local gathering place for cultural relics.
Although the place names are very colorful, they also have a history. I heard that this long street of more than 1,000 meters can be traced back to the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.
But in the past, this was an entertainment street, with various restaurants, brothels, and casinos and pawn shops. In today’s fashionable terms, it was the CBD.
Of course, there is no way to verify whether it is true or not. The flow of people is indeed very large. To the northwest is the Provincial Museum, and because of the existence of this museum, it has established the status of Xiangshui Bay Market.
The left and right sides of this long street are composed of buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Various cultural relic shops, antique shops, calligraphy and painting shops are located next to each other.
Every weekend, a group of cultural relic enthusiasts gather here, including many speculators who want to make a big deal out of small things, but most of them end up in failure.
When they arrived outside the market, Gao Bin parked his car and walked into the market gate hand in hand with Qi Yu.
Weekends are the time when there are the most people. It’s almost so crowded that people are bumping into each other. You have to strain your throat when speaking, otherwise it’s difficult to hear clearly.
Gao Bin basically walked around and rarely stopped, but the two of them walked very slowly, firstly to take care of Qi Yu who was wearing high heels, and secondly to listen and see more.
Sometimes it’s fun to listen to these street vendors deceiving people.
Gao Bin and Qi Yu are not experts, but they are not rookies who know nothing. They have more or less eyesight, so naturally they will not be blinded by the fake things on the stalls.
In fact, 99.99% of places like this are fake. If you want to meet the real one, you can only rely on luck.
There were too many people, and Qi Yu was easily stepped on because she was wearing high heels, so Gao Bin pulled her to the side. When he saw an antique store, he went in first, and soon came out to change to another one.
Soon, their actions were noticed by people who were interested, and an old man with big yellow teeth and dark and rough skin blocked in front of them.
"Boss, you must be experts. I have some good products. Do you want to take a look?"
Gao Bin recognized the other party's Central Plains accent, looked at each other and pursed his lips:
"Lead the way."
The old man immediately bared his teeth and led the way. From time to time he turned around to give Gao Bin and Qi Yu a hat, praising them for their ability, knowledge, and being masters.
Most people, after hearing it too much, will inevitably get carried away and be fooled out of their minds, but Gao Bin has heard this kind of thing so much that he doesn’t take it seriously at all.
The same goes for Qi Yu. A beauty like her has been held in the palms of people's hands since she was a child. She even hears beautiful words, let alone takes them to heart.
Not long after, the three of them came outside a guest house. Gao Bin was confident in his own skills. Three or five of them couldn't get close, so naturally they didn't have to worry about the other party doing the fairy dance.
There is a three-person room on the first floor of the guest house. As soon as Gao Bin entered, he quickly observed the surrounding environment. There should be no ambush.
Two of the three beds are wrinkled, and one is relatively neat. It should be that the old man and his son live there.
The old man said:
"My son stayed in the room to watch something."
Gao Bin didn't answer, and the old man slapped his son in annoyance.
The latter was angry, but he didn't say much nonsense. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, stuck his butt out and groped under the bed for a while without saying a word. He and his father must have been familiar with this process for a long time.
They carefully pulled out a tattered cardboard box from under the bed, with plastic bags and torn newspapers stuffed into the gaps inside.
The old man took out an object wrapped in a blanket from the box. Looking at his cautious appearance, those who didn't know it thought it was a cultural relic from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
I don’t know whether this old man did it on purpose or because he didn’t understand the rules, but he was trying to stuff things into Qi Yu’s arms.
Gao Bin reacted very quickly and pulled Qi Yu back two steps quickly.
If an inexperienced person picks it up and the other person loosens his grip and the thing breaks, it will be hard to explain.
Gao Bin's actions also show that he understands the rules, so don't break them.
The old man laughed innocently, put the things on the table aside, and then took a step back.
