The last item on the auction is a piece of jade composed of red, white and green. Among experts, this kind of jade is called Fu Lu Shou.
The Fu Lu Shou jadeite is not the most precious among all jadeites, but this piece was arranged as the finale of the auction, so it naturally has its uniqueness.
The whole piece of jade has not been artificially carved, it is completely natural. Against the background of deep and light green, the jadeite branches and leaves that have evolved over thousands of years stretch like green tidal clouds, and a flower blooms on the red vines as fine as blood.
A flower as bright and white as the moon, with such rich colors that the viewer almost forgets to breathe.
After a brief silence, the auction site immediately became agitated, like a drop of water falling into hot oil. The bids in the hands of buyers were lifted again and again, and the sound of price increases almost filled the entire hall.
Lin Xiangwan withdrew. She didn't like this kind of environment. She felt guilty watching Xu Mingfei's beloved thing being snatched away by others, but she couldn't help her keep it.
It's just that the prices of those things have long been beyond the acceptable range of ordinary people. Not to mention her today, even Chu Di in his heyday may not be able to afford them all.
The moon was beautiful, appearing and disappearing in the clouds like a silver disk. Lin Xiangwan walked aimlessly along the path. When he looked up, he found that he had arrived in front of a small white house.
When she saw the house, she sighed slightly. It was here that she met Xu Mingfei for the first time. She was so embarrassed but could not hide her brilliance, like a pearl among the rubble, which made people pity her.
This white house was originally a small church built by foreigners in the Middle Ages. After the entire mountain was sold by the Baili family, it was converted into a storage house for decoration with no practical purpose. The original icon in the church
They were all donated to the church in Yamashita City by Xu Mingfei, but the interior decoration of the house has not changed. The stained glass windows with paintings of the Virgin and the Son, as well as the pure European architectural style, all give those who rest here a sense of extreme tranquility.
a feeling of.
Lin Xiangwan sat down with her back on the chair. The noise on the dance floor and the tranquility here formed a completely different contrast. She looked up at the exquisite angel paintings on the roof and heard heavy footsteps behind her.
"She used to like coming here the most. When she was a child, her family hired a teacher. If she couldn't solve the problem, the teacher would beat her up. When she was beaten, she would escape here and cry secretly. At that time, Ze and I would just find it if we couldn't find it.
If she comes, she will come here." Baili Tong walked in slowly, holding a cane in his hand.
Lin Xiangwan frowned slightly, but did not get up.
"The hall is so busy, why don't you go?"
"Aren't you here? As the master, it's not good to sneak out." Lin Xiangwan retorted, the environment here is too good, she doesn't want to quarrel with Baili Tong, if possible, she would prefer the two of them
Sit here quietly, don't talk to anyone, don't disturb each other.
Baili Tong took a few steps forward and sat down not far from Lin Xiangwan. He put his handle aside and pressed his palms on his stiff and necrotic knees. "Although I am from the Baili family.
Master, but I have no obligation to stay there with those boring people. You should know my true intention of auctioning these things. Lin Xiangwan and Xu Mingfei don’t have many friends. You are right, the Baili family is like raising an elephant.
Similarly, she will be trapped in this family her whole life. In order to maintain absolute loyalty to the Baili family, she does not need friends. She only needs us. But you are different to her. You are the first person in her life.
A friend, can you tell me why she didn't come? She picked all those things with her own hands, and she carved some of the stones with her own hands. You haven't carved jade, have you? That's a craft, no
A few years, enough patience, don't even think about carving out a good thing. Those were the things she valued most before, but why didn't she want them anymore? Why didn't she come back? How could she just say she didn't want the things she had sacrificed her life for?
don't want?"
Baili Tong is an arrogant person, even more arrogant than Chu Di. If he is not forced into a desperate situation, he will never bow to anyone. But now he looks like a defeated rooster, his head tilted
He lowered his head and looked indescribably annoyed.
"You ask me, don't you understand such a simple truth?" Lin Xiangwan sighed, "Do you think she really cares about these things? If it weren't for you, why would she let herself become a lover of money than her life?
People? Baili Tong, do you really don’t understand, or are you pretending not to understand? She doesn’t even want people, so how can she want these external things? Don’t say you sold these things today, you just burned them
How much will she care if it is smashed and destroyed? She was forbearing in every possible way and giving everything she had just for you. Do you really not know at all? Do you know what is most important to a woman? Money? Jewelry? Beautiful clothes.
Clothes or clothes that attract attention? Yes, we do like those things, but what we want more is someone who understands me, truly cares about me, likes me, can protect me from wind and rain, protect me from fear, save me from suffering, and prevent me from wandering around.
, lest I have no one to rely on. When we are rich, we live happily together, and when we are poor, we never leave. Life is in a hurry, but because there is such a person by my side, I am not even afraid of death, but..."
But that person, why did he always make her despair when she was full of hope, and then extend an olive branch to her after she despaired?
Who did he think he was? Who did he think she was?
"You did that just because she liked you. She doesn't like you now. To her, you are not even as good as the cheapest stone."
Baili Tong listened silently. He did not interrupt Lin Xiangwan's words in a bossy manner as usual, nor did he get angry because of the sharpness in her words. He just listened quietly, as if what Lin Xiangwan said did not mean anything.
not him.
"Is it really irreversible?" Baili Tong didn't ask until Lin Xiangwan stopped for a long time.
Lin Xiangwan closed her eyes and slowly shook her head, "Why do you have to wait until the situation is hopeless before you think of making a recovery? Why don't you do everything well from the beginning? Don't you all do business?
Are you very capable? Why do things become so stupid when it comes to relationships? She said that she and you are blood relatives. How do you plan to restore such a relationship? **This kind of thing is really too exciting for Xu Mingfei. I
I suggest that if you don’t have a perfect plan, it’s better not to try to win her back. It’s better to let her stay away from you and fend for herself than to get her together and make her suffer.”
As the song goes, the deepest love for you is to let go of my hands. But in fact, we all know that it is just nonsense.
Love that can let go is definitely not deep love.
Except for this person, no one can save you. You can only spend those long nights alone. With such a let go, who can choose so freely?
In the distance, I heard the excited sound of people coming from the dance floor. It seemed that the last lot had a new owner, but I didn’t know who it was. Lin Xiangwan looked outside the church, and the moonlight was shining all over the floor.
, like a heavy snowfall, there is nothing but desolation.
It was obviously the height of summer, but it became cold because of a conversation with this person. She rubbed her sore forehead and wanted to leave.
The moment she stood up, Baili Tong also stood up, "When Xu Mingfei was a child, an aunt's dog had puppies. She said she liked them and wanted to keep them, so I asked her to get one for her.
, then one time I went on a long trip, and when I came home, I found a scar on her hand. When I asked, I found out that the puppy accidentally bit her when she was playing with her. So I asked someone to
I beat the dog to death, threw it out, and then told her the truth. Xu Mingfei ignored me for a long time because of that incident. I knew that she cried alone for a long time, but I didn't even try to persuade her. Later, when she grew up,
Once she asked me why I did that when the dog was obviously well-raised and would not bite her again. And even if I did, I could lie to her and say that the dog was lost or died of illness.
Okay, why should I tell her the truth? I told her, there can only be one person in this world who can hurt you, and that’s me. If I can’t be by her side 24 hours a day to protect her, then I will put all the factors that are detrimental to her
Eliminate them all. I don’t care what happens in the future, I just try to make everything that is bad for me, her, and us impossible. So you said that you would rather she go away and not feel the pain anymore, I also
I can only tell you that this is impossible!"
After Baili Tong said these words categorically, he left. Although his steps were slightly lame, his back was extremely upright, as if nothing could crush him. Lin Xiangwan watched him walking slowly
As I drifted away, I felt so bitter in my mouth that I could hardly speak.
Everyone praises love as beautiful and as sweet as candy. Is she the only one who feels that it is actually cruel and dangerous, like licking honey with a knife?
There was a fountain outside the hut. The stone angel in the fountain looked at Lin Xiangwan tenderly. Lin Xiangwan smiled bitterly at her and plunged her head into the fountain. The cold spring water spread over her cheeks and scattered her hair.
Her long hair was also soaked, and water droplets dripped on her clothes along the ends of her hair, but she didn't care at all until the air in her lungs was exhausted and she heard her heart beating fiercely.
Then he suddenly raised his head.
Chu Di stood in the shadow of the trees not far away and had been looking at her for a long time.
The moonlight fell on the dense branches and leaves, casting shadows of various shapes on his body. When the wind blew by, the shadows of the trees were scattered, and his handsome face became intertwined with light and dark, making him almost invisible.
Lin Xiangwan stood there wetly, looking at him as if a century had passed. She heard a faint sigh coming from his mouth, and then he came over, took off his coat, and put it on her shoulders.
