Chapter 94 Li Anze

When Ling Yun heard Du Ruo say this, she became unhappy: "What's wrong with my taste in clothes? It's so shiny and festive."

He glanced at Du Ruo and said, "He looks like Yuan Tingchuan, but he looks so good. What's the matter? Did I scare you last time? I've said it before, I've known him since I was a kid. Yuan Tingchuan is not what he seems to be. Don't you all know him?"

When Du Ruo is mentioned, he gets annoyed: "Don't bring up irrelevant things. Wear whatever you like. They didn't ask you to carve it. It doesn't matter if it looks a little unreliable."

Lingyun...

Ling Yun and Du Ruo were invited to the East Garden study in the Li family's old house in H City.

Outside the window is a pond full of lotus flowers. On the desk is a newly written calligraphy: "Flowers and leaves in the world are incomparable. Flowers fall into a golden basin and their leaves turn into dust. Only the green lotus and red lotus buds, open and close as they please naturally."

Du Ruo continued to chant: "These flowers and leaves always complement each other, their green fades and their red withers, which makes me sad."

He smiled and looked at Du Ruo: "Young friend Du also likes lotus?"

"I definitely wouldn't dare to deceive you. I just know a little bit about Li Yishan."

Mr. Li laughed and said: "Li Yishan is a quick poet, but he is not good at worldly affairs. It is true that no one is perfect.

The bamboo fields are dust-free and the water is clear, but my longing for you is far away, even though I am separated by a city wall. The autumn clouds do not disperse, and the frost flies late, leaving only the withered lotus leaves to listen to the sound of rain."

Du Ruo glanced out the window and saw that Mr. Li really liked Li Yishan as always.

Mr. Li asked someone to bring the black jadeite over and said to Du Ruoyan, "My dear friend Du, your carving skills are truly outstanding. Old Yang's brush washer must have been made by you, right?"

This time Du Ruo was really surprised. She looked puzzled and asked, "Do you know Uncle Yang?"

Mr. Li smiled and said, "We are old comrades. When I visited his home, he showed me his brush washer. It was truly natural and there was no trace of any flaws. I also asked Old Yang to contact Mr. Du, but it was a pity that Mr. Du was not in Linshan, so we missed him."

So that's how it is. Du Ruo was still wondering. Her current situation is different from her previous life. At that time, she was a famous jade carving master. Mr. Li had seen many of her works before asking someone to find her.

Today, she is just an unknown little person. Considering how much Mr. Li values ​​black jadeite, many masters do not even take her seriously. How could he find her?

It turns out that Mr. Li and Mr. Yang are actually comrades-in-arms. This world is really small, they can even be connected.

As everyone was talking, a young man in a Zhongshan suit came in from outside, holding a gold box in his hand.

His face was a bit tough, but his temperament was elegant and steady. He wore a pair of gold-framed glasses, walked calmly, and had the aura of a superior.

When Mr. Li saw him come in, he smiled and said, "Why are you here?" He turned to Du Ruo and Ling Yun and introduced them, "This is my youngest son, Li Anze."

Then he said to Li Anze: "This is the boy from the Ling family in Gangcheng, and this one is friend Du Ruodu."

Li Anze frowned and held out his hand: "Comrade Du, welcome."

Du Ruo held his hand, which was dry and warm, with his nails trimmed smoothly and neatly, very clean, as always.

Li Anze said to Ling Yun, "I am more familiar with your elder brother, but this is the first time I meet you. You are welcome to come to our home often."

Ling Yun nodded in greeting. He had never been very fond of Li Anze. This guy looked kind and elegant, but in fact he was not an easy person to get along with.

Ling Yun is not afraid of conspiracies and he can deal with them calmly, but he does not like people who are too complicated. Dealing with such people makes people tired.

In the previous life, every time she met Li Anze, it was Ruoruo who entertained him. She was able to deal with Li Anze, and the two of them got along well.

Du Ruo was observing the black jadeite on the table, discussing a few words with Mr. Li from time to time. He made some improvements based on his previous life's carving to make the work more perfect.

Mr. Li was very surprised. He didn't expect Du Ruo's plan to be so impeccable. He immediately said, "Excuse me, Master Du, but I have a favor to ask. I have a studio here. Can I carve here? I sincerely invite you to stay here for a while."

Du Ruo thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Mr. Li said to Ling Yun, "Although this is the first time I see you, I know your grandfather and your elder brother. You should come and live here too."

Ling Yun winked at Du Ruo and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I have something else to do in the next two days, so I will be away from H City for a few days."

Old Li nodded and said, if you don't want to come, then don't come. There are a lot of things to do in the Ling family, and it is really inconvenient for you to live in his place.

After agreeing to come tomorrow, Ling Yun and Du Ruo returned to the hotel. Ling Yun said, "I want to go to the vicinity of that village again. You can stay at the Li family's house for a few days. Their home is safe, and I will feel relieved to go there. I will pick you up when I come back."

"Okay, I'll be almost done by then, so we can go back together."

Since he was going to stay at the Li family temporarily, Du Ruo gave all the antiques he had picked up to Ling Yun and asked him to send someone to deliver the things back to his home.

The next morning, Du Ruo sat alone in the Li family's waterside pavilion sipping tea. Every time she made a fine jade carving, she would calm her mind and savor the details of the carving and the artistic conception of the work in silence.

If you want the jade in your hand to have vitality, artistic conception and charm are the finishing touch. If this touch is not done well, it will be dull and rigid, like a pool of stagnant water, without any vitality.

Du Ruo was distracted from his thoughts and was about to stand up when he saw a man standing on the stone bridge in front of the water pavilion. It was Li Anze.

He saw that Du Ruo had come back to his senses, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and walked slowly towards the waterside pavilion.

Du Ruo looked at Li Anze who was walking slowly towards her. He was her friend. In their previous life, they met each other a few years later. At that time, Li Anze was already the top leader of a certain place.

The reason for their acquaintance was also because of this piece of black jade. After she and Mr. Li decided on the design, it was Li Anze who delivered the thing to her studio.

The two discussed the details together and got along very well. They met several times again on different occasions. One time she encountered trouble, and she found out later that it was Li Anze who solved the problem. They gradually became friends.

Du Ruo stood up and smiled: "Good morning."

Li Anze stepped onto the steps and made a gesture of invitation: "Please sit down." After sitting down, he tested the temperature of the teapot with the back of his hand, and said with a hint of disapproval: "The tea is cold, let them change it. Cold tea hurts the spleen and stomach, it is not suitable for drinking."

Du Ruo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I use it for reading."

Li Anze raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "As the saying goes, the fragrance of tea is everywhere, but cold tea lacks some artistic conception after all, and it is not very satisfactory to watch."

Du Ruo smiled: "Perhaps without the scent, we can see the essence under the water more clearly?"

Li Anze's eyes were filled with smiles behind the lens: "That makes sense. Only when you break through the confusion can you see the truth."

The two couldn't help but smile at each other.
