Chapter 498 The suddenly arrogant Mr. Cheng(1/2)
Professor Li nodded with a smile, and then he gave the final answer.
"Xiao Cheng was still influenced by the ringing of the bell, so he had a fixed mindset. He always felt that this bottle would be related to the sound of the bell. But in fact, in addition to being a bottle, its actual purpose is a hat rack. Therefore, in the meaning of these decorations, the character "was taken is a rack."
Xue Qing clapped her hands and said, "I understand, the squad is home."
Professor Li nodded slightly and continued, "In ancient times, people called the decorations on their heads a headwear. Later, four names such as crown, crown, hat, and thigh began to appear, and finally the term "hat" was called.
In fact, these names have different subtle differences and refer to different head decorations.
Therefore, in fact, their collective name is still a rigorous term.
In addition, in the ancient Huizhou dialect, the term "hair" is also the most widely covered area.
So when the hat is placed on the hat stand, it is a family of peace.”
All three of them were savoring Professor Li's words, taking the word "cloth" with the headcloth, taking the word "cloth" with the hat rack, and adding the bottle and mirror, isn't it just a peaceful family?
Bucheng Yu heard that there was still some part of Professor Li's words, so he asked, "Old Li, you specifically mean that when the hat is placed on the bottle, it means the family is calm. Is it because the hat is taken away by the owner when the owner goes out? There is another meaning?"
Professor Li nodded with a smile, picked up the purple clay pot without any haste, took a sip of tea, and finally said: "Xiao Cheng does have a spirit of research. Indeed, whether the hat is placed on the bottle has meanings. However, these two meanings are actually one, or just two different statements of the same meaning."
Seeing that Professor Li didn't seem to be in a hurry to announce the answer directly, Cheng Yu thought carefully and wanted to find the answer himself.
The same is true for Mr. Carpenter and Xue Qing. Although they both hope that Professor Li will not keep it in hiding and will give the answer directly, since Professor Li is silent, they can only think about it themselves.
After a while, Cheng Yu said with some uncertainty: "The action of taking away the hat can be called taking off the hat. If you take the word "take" means that the house is peaceful?"
Professor Li laughed loudly, pointed at Cheng Yu twice, and said, "Xiao Cheng is so smart. As soon as I asked a little, he found the correct answer.
Indeed, when the owner comes back and puts the hat on the hat stand, the whole family stays at home neatly.
So it is a peaceful family.
When the owner goes out and cares about his family, it means that the family is peaceful.
You should all know that in Huizhou, most men do business abroad.
When he goes out, of course he hopes that his family will be peaceful, so that he will have meaning when he is running around and struggling outside.
This is also a blessing from Huizhou businessmen to their family.
However, as time changes, the things placed on the table are different. Modern people obviously hope to express this meaning more bluntly.
So, the idea of placing a bell on the table is to sound the bell, and finally formed the term of lifelong peace."
The three of them nodded together, and finally fully understood the significance of the decorations of Huizhou people on the case.
After chatting for a few more words, Professor Li looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, let's have lunch together. Someone booked a banquet at Guangchun Building near the Old Summer Palace and invited everyone to go together."
Cheng Yu was stunned. He looked at Mr. Carpenter and found that he was also stunned.
The two of them asked almost in unison: "Who ordered the banquet?"
Professor Li smiled and said nothing, but put down the purple clay pot, stood up, and walked towards the hall door with his hands on his back.
It was obvious that he didn't want to say that he wanted Cheng Yu and Mr. Carpenter to see it themselves.
But Professor Li is obviously not the kind of person who doesn't know the depth and will not force some irrelevant people together. Since he said that Cheng Yu and Mr. Carpenter would have to go with him, the treat would be either to know both of them or at least at the same level.
So the two followed Professor Li and went out together with Xue Qing.
Walking in the alley, Mr. Carpenter smiled and said in a low voice: "Mr. Xiaocheng, let's exchange contact information."
Cheng Yu hurriedly took out his cell phone and said, "Sorry, Mr. Mu, I should have been the junior, who asked you for your contact information."
Mr. Carpenter smiled and waved his hand, not caring about this at all, and said, "Mr. Li didn't say in detail before, just said that a friend came to visit him, so I didn't bring a business card. This is my WeChat QR code, please scan it."
Cheng Yu scanned Mr. Carpenter’s WeChat and applied for a friend, and the other party quickly passed.
Although there are no exchanges of phone numbers, in this society, WeChat can actually replace the function of the phone.
Even if there are things like Moments on WeChat, you can see some of the other person's living conditions, which seems more private than the phone number.
Many people have more than two WeChat accounts. One is used as a basic contact tool. Work and some acquaintances who are not friends are all added to this kind of account. Most of the circle of friends is not updated. Even if it is updated, most of them are topics related to work.
Another WeChat account is a more private account between relatives and friends.
Cheng Yu roughly looked through Mr. Carpenter's circle of friends, which was very private, including many photos and videos taken by him, his wife, children, etc., which was obviously a private account.
"Old Li is so mysterious, guess who is the one who treats Guangchunlou?"
Cheng Yu shook his head and replied in a low voice: "I really can't guess it. I was thrown into the United States by my father after graduating from elementary school. I only came back last year. It's less than a year. I have no friends in China. The people I have come into contact with in the past year are either partners or Party A and Party B. Including you, I have long been famous for you, and I am even more unfamiliar with others."
The carpenter smiled and said, "I have a guess."
Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Who?"
"It may be Lao Zhang and Xiao Zhang, or it may be Xiao Zhang alone.
Oh, it’s the most inappropriate second-generation rich man. Didn’t you just mention the show you invested in, and did you think about hiring him?
I think, maybe he was planning to visit Mr. Li, so Mr. Li asked him to invite him to have a meal and then invited us to participate together."
Cheng Yu nodded, thinking that it was possible.
As a respected expert like Professor Li, since these social wise men have been in good faith to a certain extent, it is normal for them to visit the elderly during the Spring Festival.
Xue Qing once said that she and the second generation who was called the principal because of Xiao Zhang's homophonic voice can be regarded as a relationship between children. So it is normal for Lao Zhang and Xiao Zhang to visit Professor Li before the New Year.
"I personally can't integrate these variety shows, but Xiao Zhang is lively by nature and may be a little interested. Moreover, he has a great influence, especially among young people. If he agrees, it will be a guarantee for the ratings of your program. Fight hard."
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Thank you Mr. Mu for your advice, but I'm just afraid that he will be too popular and will not look down on small-produced programs like us."
"That depends on whether your program content is attractive. In the final analysis, he is a good (four tones) person to play. He always enjoys interesting things. As for the size of the production and how much money it costs, in his own words, his friends never care about how much money the other party has, because no matter how much money it has, it is impossible to be richer than him."
Cheng Yu smiled, that's true.
But he could not say something clearly to Mr. Carpenter.
Cheng Yu was not afraid that Xiao Zhang would not like this show, but that he was too popular and too large of real fans, which made it difficult to complete the 10% test in the end.
"It seems that you are all here to visit Mr. Li before the New Year. In fact, shouldn't you come again during the New Year's greetings?" Cheng Yu chatted with Mr. Carpenter.
The carpenter waved his hand and said, "You don't know much about this. Mr. Li has a wide connection in his life, from central leaders to street vendors. If he opens the door to accept New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, it will definitely be a rhythm of traffic jams and breaking through the threshold.
So, he made a rule that during the Spring Festival and until before the Lantern Festival, he would not receive any visitors to greet New Year.
If you think it’s the New Year and want to visit him, you should either ask for it early before the New Year or talk about it later after the New Year.”
Cheng Yu laughed silently and said, "Didn't that mean I chose the most appropriate time by chance?"
"That's not necessarily true. After all, you are different from us visitors. You have another identity as Xiaoqing's boss. Mr. Li is not a regular person, so he can still do this kind of flexibility."
Seeing that they had arrived at the Old Summer Palace, they could see the sign of Guangchun Tower, so the two of them stopped talking and followed Professor Li and stepped up the steps.
Two female consultants wearing cotton-edged cheongsams at the door took the four of them to the second floor.
He gently knocked on the private room door and then pushed it in. Cheng Yu looked at it. A young man inside who was about the same height as him but had a big head, immediately stood up.
With a smile on his face, but not too much politeness, the man shouted, "Xiaoqing, are you back too? Your grandfather didn't tell me. If I had known you were back, we would have changed to a Western restaurant."
"If you don't care what my old man likes to eat?" Professor Li walked to the table with a smile and sat in the main seat without hesitation.
The young man still smiled and said, "I know you, you have a wide mouth and it doesn't matter what you eat. But Xiaoqing's sister is rarely back once or twice a year now. Isn't it normal for her taste?"
"Where is your dad?"
"I'm busy. I haven't seen him for several months. Who knows where he is?" The young man answered indifferently, and then looked at Mr. Carpenter and Cheng Yu.
When he saw Cheng Yu, he was obviously a little stunned. He obviously had never seen him and didn't know who Cheng Yu was.
Turning his head and looking at Xue Qing again, Cheng Yu knew that he was probably a little misunderstood.
"Old Mu is here too. No wonder the old man insisted on letting me set up a table in Guangchun Building. Xiaoqing, is this your friend?"
The carpenter was not unhappy at all because he was called Lao Mu by the other party. Xiao Zhang had always been like this. It was almost impossible to expect him to be honest with his uncles and aunts like other juniors.
He also smiled and said hello to Xiao Zhang, and sat down next to Professor Li.
Xue Qing is also very smart. When she saw Xiao Zhang looking at Cheng Yu's eyes, and when she heard his tone of questioning, she knew that he had misunderstood.
So he quickly explained: "Don't think about it. He is my boss, Cheng Yu and Cheng Big Young Master..."
"Ho, it's a bit crazy, call me the eldest son in front of me."
Xiao Zhang said indifferently, but soon realized what the word Cheng means.
"The young master of Cheng Guangnian's family?"
Before Cheng Yu could answer, Xue Qing said, "Or who else can call him Master Cheng?"
I thought that Xiao Zhang's personality would be indispensable to squeezing himself, but after hearing this, he greeted him and said, "You sit with me."
Unexpectedly, he actually recognized the title of Cheng Yu, the eldest son Cheng.
In the nearly one year since Cheng Yu returned to China, it was quite appropriate for anyone he had contact to call him Master Cheng. Even if Du Xiaoyu sometimes said a few words of teasingly, Cheng Yu would not feel uncomfortable.
After all, my family background is indeed there.
But facing the person in front of him, Cheng Yu was really not as calm as before.
After all, this person is a limited number of parents in China whose wealth is above him. It is okay for others to call him Master Cheng, but Xiao Zhang is also a real Master.
"Your Madam Zhang, please don't listen to Xiaoqing's nonsense. I'm not a big young man. These are all called by friends around me."
