Chapter 283: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Lu Pingsheng was discussing a three-legged bronze incense burner with George, and when he looked up he saw Wei Miao and Wells looking over at him.
Because of the White Rose, he and Wilson had met several times.
He got along quite well with this arrogant man who was ostensibly a businessman but was actually a British agent.
"Oh, Mr. Wells, long time no see." Lu Pingsheng, still holding the incense burner in his hand, went up to hug him enthusiastically.
Wells also hugged Lu Pingsheng exaggeratedly and said with a smile:
"Luka, even though we haven't seen each other for a long time, the legends about you still linger in my ears from time to time."
Wells had a smile on his face, but in his heart he was full of contempt for Lupin's outfit.
He actually wore sunglasses in the living room. I guess he doesn't know that sunglasses are used by pilots to block light, not to show off.
After the two of them exchanged polite greetings, Lu Pingsheng introduced the person to the other people in the room.
George was very happy to meet his fellow countryman, and the two of them soon started chatting together.
Lu Pingsheng turned his head and found that Wei Miao had not left, and raised his eyebrows.
He walked over and raised his chin towards Wei Miao.
Wei Miao tugged at the corner of his clothes, and after he bent down, he lowered his voice and told him the story about the treasure that Wells had mentioned.
Lu Pingsheng remained calm, rubbed his head and said, "Then you go first, I'll be there in a moment."
Yukiko covered her mouth and laughed, "What are you two whispering about?"
Lupin stood up, looked at the people looking over here with a warm smile, and explained:
"Two old friends are here. It's inconvenient to bring them here. I'll go over and take a look later."
After hearing this, the group of people went back to doing their own things, and they all had a tacit understanding of today's scene.
Even when Wu Ziyang wanted to say that he would go with Lu Pingsheng, Li Xiaoya pulled him aside to talk to Xiao Lin Ying about going to school locally.
Uncle Zeng Bao's eyes fell on the tall and short men for a moment, and then he heard Hirata Matsuko ask with a little excitement:
"Uncle Bao, is this half scroll of Buddhist scriptures really the original handwritten copy by 'Master Guo Hai'?"
Uncle Zeng Bao withdrew his thoughts, looked at the carefully prepared fragment of Buddhist scriptures in his hand, nodded slightly to Hirata Matsuko and said:
"I have asked someone to authenticate it, and it is indeed a genuine work by the great monk Jianzhen."
Hirata Matsuko's ordinary face flushed with excitement, and an inexplicable light flashed in her small eyes.
"Uncle Bao, our family is a devout Buddhist believer, and we have great respect for Master Guo Hai. I wonder if you can give him up..."
Wei Miao, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped. She wanted to know how much this broken Buddhist scripture was worth.
After all, there were dozens of boxes of Buddhist scriptures, Buddha heads and statues on the train.
Otherwise, the old monk Zhishang, who had never cared about worldly affairs, would not have come to her alone and asked for the relics.
Matsuko Hirata did not lie, her family are devout Buddhists.
It was probably because the Buddha was disgusted with her uncle for placing the human body fragments next to the Buddha head, so he took the person away.
I just don’t know if this person is in hell now.
While Wei Miao was daydreaming, he heard Hirata Matsuko tentatively ask, "Uncle Bao, can you give me one thousand dollars?"
One thousand yuan, almost three large yellow croakers, and half a scroll of incomplete scriptures, this aroused Wei Miao's interest.
If Matsuko Hirata is really interested, she can pay more attention to things about this big monk in the future.
Every time she and Brother Lu divided the spoils, she always asked for the gold, while Brother Lu asked for calligraphy and antiques, which she could sell herself later. . .
Lu Pingsheng seemed to know what this kid was thinking and wanted to knock her head to wake her up.
When it comes to things like calligraphy, paintings, and ink, no price is too expensive if you meet someone who likes them. But if you meet someone who doesn't like them, even if you give them to him, he will still complain about the worm holes on them.
Lu Pingsheng kicked Wei Miao with his foot, signaling him to go home.
Wei Miao looked down at his kicked trouser leg, pouted, turned around and went downstairs.
"Since we have such a connection, if Miss Matsuko really likes it, I will give it to the Hirata family. I hope you will cherish it."
Wei Miao, who had just come downstairs, happened to hear this and she finally rolled her eyes.
Xiao Qian happened to come over with Uncle Cai and saw it. "Ah Miao, are you angry?"
Wei Miao felt a little embarrassed. He was too focused on eavesdropping and was caught.
She looked at the two young men in long gowns behind Uncle Cai and asked curiously:
"Sister Qian, who are they?"
Xiao Qian smiled and said, "Here are the people from the restaurant, coming to help."
Wei Miao was just right in shocking Xiao Qian, so he pulled her aside and said with a grin:
"Their scallion-fried sea cucumber, braised prawns, fried conch, and braised abalone in their original shell are all excellent dishes. I ordered an extra portion of all for you."
Hearing about the delicious food, Wei Miao naturally smiled with two dimples and asked curiously:
"Sister Qian, are there still so many seafoods at this time?"
Xiao Qian watched as the two servants were tidying up the yard under Uncle Cai's instructions and discussing where to set up the wedding banquet.
She patted her waist, her big eyes gleaming with pride, and said with a bit of complacency:
"There is nothing that our Zeng family cannot get. Many of them were booked a month in advance."
Wei Miao blinked, smiled and said goodbye to Xiao Qian.
Mr. Zeng really put a lot of effort into this.
Wei Miao was thinking about the treasure that Wells had mentioned, and returned to his yard absent-mindedly.
When I looked up, I saw that Professor Li was having a very pleasant conversation with Doctor Ding. With Mr. Peng's witty remarks and Mr. Huang's appropriate responses, the others were also very supportive and the whole place was in great harmony.
She sighed quietly, it’s great, life is a stage everywhere.
People in this world are busy with all kinds of things. Some do it for money, some for power, some for dreams, some for ideals, and some just to survive.
Isn't she also a little money-eating beast with some human touch?
Wei Miao smacked her lips, sniffed the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen, and felt that this world was becoming more and more interesting.
Uncle Wu shouted, "Get ready to feast!" The tables, chairs and benches were set out in the yard.
Uncle Zeng Bao's family shared a group of people, so one table at the Wei family's banquet was left empty.
Wei Miao raised his hand and called to Wei Ran and Wei Ling who had just finished setting the table:
"Go and call Mrs. Peng and Mrs. Huang's children over, and set up two tables in the room where you usually do your homework."
The kids' eyes sparkled after hearing this.
"Brother, is it true?" Wei Ran asked.
Children most yearn for the adult lifestyle.
Wei Ling swung her two pigtails and said, "When has Big Brother ever told a lie?"
Wei Li said: "A banquet table can seat eight adults, but can seat 8 or more children. We have to calculate the number of people."
Wei Ping tugged at the corner of Wei Miao's clothes with his chubby hands and said softly:
"Da Guo, should I invite Zhao Xian and Gen Di from the alley next door?"
When Wei Miao wanted to ask who Zhao Xian and Gen Di were, Wei Dong hugged his legs and cried:
"Da Guo, does Laba not want us anymore? Why didn't he come?"
