Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Chapter 324: Cold reception

Views:

The former Liulang of the Li family was unparalleled in intelligence and had already entered the Hanlin Academy to observe politics at the age of twenty. Liulang of the Li family was not only good at reading, he was also very good at painting. I heard that his paintings were once sold for a hundred taels of silver each and there was no one to buy them.

In addition to being talented, Liu Lang of the Li family is also bold in temperament, upright, upright and upright. It is precisely because of these shining places that Zhao Qian is regarded as his lifelong confidant and his only friend.

After arriving in this time and space, apart from the actors I often collaborate with, my life assistant Qiu Kai is my friend.

Facing Li Wei's brother again, the person opposite him was no longer Liulang of the Li family, and he was no longer a member of the royal family. You can't talk to Dr. Li about the antiques from the previous dynasty, nor can you tell him which family has the best garden, or what new calligraphy and painting you have acquired, what interesting books you have read, etc. The doctor sitting across from him was a doctor who was more powerful than the white-bearded doctors at the Imperial Hospital, and the field he was involved in was completely unfamiliar to him. If we can't find a common topic, we naturally don't know how to speak. There is a saying that if you talk too much, you will make mistakes. Zhao Qian chose to remain silent many times. When Li Jianbo asked, he only answered a few words.

"When can second brother go back to celebrate the New Year this year?"

Li Jianbo said: "I'm not sure yet. It's very likely that I will have to be on duty. After all, the hospital needs people 24 hours a day. You go back first. By the way, will you take Mr. Zhao with you?"

Li Wei glanced at Zhao Qian before continuing: "Maybe, it depends on his arrangements."

Zhao Qian immediately said: "I don't have many plans before New Year's Eve, so I can always take vacations."

Li Jianbo looked at Zhao Qian with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "When did the relationship between you begin?"

Li Wei said: "It's Christmas time."

Li Jianbo said: "It's only a few days. It's better to meet the parents soon. Mom has been flustered. Seeing you take the person back, she will definitely urge the marriage. You don't have such plans in the short term, right? Not to mention that the two of you will face more tests in the future. I don’t want you to decide your future in a hurry. "

In other words, Li Jianbo felt that Zhao Qian was unreliable. He was not optimistic about the relationship between the two, and naturally he did not think that Zhao Qian could give his sister real happiness.

"As long as she is willing to marry me, I can marry her tomorrow with eight sedans."

Zhao Qian's sudden words really amused Li Jianbo: "Mr. Zhao is really straightforward. He says whatever comes to his mind without any scruples. Does anyone in your family have any objections to this marriage?"

Zhao Qian’s family? Wasn't that a matter of hundreds of years? Li Wei glanced at Zhao Qian uneasily, fearing that he would spill the beans, but saw that Zhao Qian was very calm.

"I have no father, no mother, no family, so I don't have any worries in this regard. Of course I make my own decision about who I want to marry."

Li Jianbo's eyes darkened and he secretly thought he was an orphan? Why haven't I heard Li Wei mention it before? If he has no father or mother, then he said he grew up in an orphanage? What if one day Zhao Qian's parents saw that they were prosperous and suddenly came out to claim their son? What if they were just good people? What if they were like vampires and parasites? He didn't want his sister to be wronged in the slightest.

"Second brother, Zhao Qian is from overseas. His parents have passed away a long time ago. Don't worry." As expected of a younger sister, she can guess right where her brother is concerned.

"Overseas people? So are they Chinese? Which country did you stay in before? How old were you when you returned to the country? Who was the previous guardian?" Li Jianbo was simply checking his household registration. He had a vague feeling that things might not be that simple.

"Well, more or less, I stayed in France for a while before." Zhao Qian said it smoothly.

Li Wei's face changed slightly. This Zhao Qian is really an actor. How come he lies so casually? The second brother is too shrewd and will be exposed.

"Second brother, the ham here tastes really good. I'll ask my mother to make some later. It's just right for making soup or something."

The topic was changed so abruptly that Li Wei herself felt it was inappropriate. She really wanted to slap herself on both ears.

Fortunately, Jian Bo did not catch Zhao Qian and continued to ask questions, but he and Li Wei actually studied the soup in this jar. Li Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time felt that the matter would be revealed sooner or later. How should she explain to her second brother at that time

After interrogating the household registration, Li Jianbo left Zhao Qian aside and talked to Li Wei about some trivial matters at work. Zhao Qian also knew what was going on and ate in silence. He was prepared before he came. People from the Li family are not easy to deal with. He and Li Wei still have a long way to go in the future, but no matter what they encounter in the future, he will not back down. I hope Li Wei can maintain this attitude. In this state of mind, the two of them can continue walking hand in hand.

The meal lasted less than an hour, and then another call came in. After Li Jianbo answered the call, he stood up and said to Li Wei: "There is something unexpected at the hospital, and I have to go and see it, so I won't accompany you. I'm here to treat you." As promised before."

Zhao Qian saw that Li Jianbo was leaving and hurriedly got up to see him off. Li Jianbo finally shook hands with Zhao Qian before leaving.

After Li Jianbo left, the two of them finished their dinner in a hurry.

After walking out of the restaurant, it suddenly started to rain lightly. The car was parked on the opposite side and there was still an intersection to cross. Neither of them had an umbrella in their hands. Zhao Qian opened his coat and said to Li Wei: "Well, it's not raining too much. I should be able to take shelter."

Li Wei got into his arms, Zhao Qian carefully wrapped her in clothes and hurried to the other side.

There was no smell of tobacco or disinfectant on his clothes, but a faint smell like agarwood. He protected himself tightly, and his arms were very warm.

With Zhao Qian's protection, I didn't get wet at all. I waited for a while when the light was red, and then ran to the opposite side when the light turned green.

After getting into the car, Li Wei gasped and said, "Hey, I haven't run like this for a long time." She turned on the lights in the car and turned to look at Zhao Qian. But he saw that Zhao Qian's hair was already covered with a dense layer of water droplets. She pulled out a clean towel from one side and wiped Zhao Qian's hair.

"You're afraid of catching a cold if you don't dry it." After wiping, Li Wei suddenly said: "You have had long hair for many years. Wouldn't it be very uncomfortable if you cut it short by chance?"

"Actually, it's not difficult. After all, you have to adapt to this era. My agent said that if I don't make some changes, my acting career will be limited for the rest of my life. Don't think about any big breakthroughs or winning awards. Now that I'm engaged in this industry, I just want to do it well.”

Li smiled and said: "It's quite similar to your serious character. I hope that the big movie you participated in the production can make you have a good turnaround."

It was drizzling, and it was extremely cold and humid in the cold winter months. The air conditioner was on in the car, so it was very warm. Li Wei was driving the car, and Zhao Qian was talking to her at the side, which made Li Wei laugh from time to time. This is what the so-called happiness should look like.
