343 Chapter 343 Hua Ming

Feng Zhongliang was not young, and his legs were not convenient. He was not keen on the outdoor activities that many rich people liked. In his spare time, he would arrange flowers and grass, write, read books, and have very little time to meet up with his old friends for tea.

In the past, he would even go to the PEI family to play chess and chat with old master PEI to pass the time.

However, with his rebirth,’Feng Nan’ and PEI Yi had distanced themselves from each other. Based on Feng Zhongliang’s character, he probably did not have much contact with the PEI family anymore.

!!
Jiang se remembered that he had once mentioned that he had learned carving from his comrades in the revolutionary Army when he was young. After the war, there was a period of time when he was obsessed with this little technique.

However, after getting married and having children, in order to support the family, this hobby was lost.

After visiting Feng Zhongliang at the Feng residence in October last year, Jiang se had only just returned to the imperial capital. Although she had called the Feng family on the way, she could clearly hear the loneliness in Feng Zhongliang’s tone.

He was getting on in years and had an old illness. His children were far away in Hong Kong, and Feng Nan was not close to him in the capital. The only people who were by his side were the Butler and Xiao Liu.

Jiang se tried to recall in detail. In her memory, Feng Zhongliang had not mentioned the stone sculpture for many years. She could buy him something small to pass the time and make the elders happy.

“I see.”

Mo Anqi tidied up the table and thought for a while before saying, ”

“Why don’t I help you?”

When she said this, she glanced at the huge stack of scripts. Jiang se had not worked for almost half a year. Xia Chaoqun had brought her four to five scripts for her to choose from. Among these scripts, other than scripts, outlines, and characters ‘personalities, there were also original novels. It was not an easy task to read all of them and choose one.

Other than that, Jiang se still had to sort out the information from the school. After that, she had to write a report. When the professor was satisfied, her archaeology practice would come to a successful end.

Xia Chaoqun didn’t give her much time to organize and write her report. Before he left, he had instructed her to start getting busy in a week or so at most. She had to learn piano and dance so that she could participate in Steinway’s anniversary party in early June. Xia Chaoqun’s requirements for her would definitely not be limited to familiarizing herself with a certain song at the party. He would probably have even stricter requirements for her.

“Choosing stones is not something that can be done in one or two hours.” In particular, although Jiang se did not have any requirements for the price of the stone, she had a requirement for the quality of the stone itself. This was something that could only be found by luck.

Although it wasn’t impossible to buy what one wanted with a lot of money, it was still too troublesome.

Mo Anqi was her assistant, so mo Anqi could’ve done these things for her.

He thought that Jiang se would agree to his suggestion. However, the moment mo Anqi finished speaking, Jiang se shook her head.

“No need. Just buy me a set of carving tools and choose a suitable merchant. I’ll go there personally.”

Her words made mo Anqi straighten her body and look at her with a strange expression.

“What’s wrong?”

Jiang se raised her head. Mo Anqi hesitated for a moment.

“Sese, I thought you would please the old master of the PEI family, but why are you closer to old master Feng? It’s like he’s your elder.”

Jiang se did not say anything, so mo Anqi did not probe further.

It took mo Anqi five days to finish sorting out the report. During these few days, mo Anqi did pick out a few merchants in the imperial capital who had the items she wanted. Jiang se took the time to go and take a look. She was planning to buy a Qingtian stone as a gift for Feng Zhongliang, but she ended up choosing a piece of Tianhuang. She spent nearly 800000 Yuan on it. The owner had even reluctantly given it up for Jiang SE’s sake.

Jiang se had already called Feng Zhongliang before she went to visit him. It was only around 8:30 P. M. When she arrived.

When she took the elevator up, Feng Zhongliang was sitting in the living room, holding a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other. When the elevator door opened, his ears perked up, but he resisted the urge to turn his head.

The Butler handed Jiang se a pair of slippers while mother Wang removed her coat.

The heater was on in the house, and it was still very cold outside in February. Feng Zhongliang shouted with a cold face, ”

“Make some hot tea for miss.”

He turned around and glanced at Jiang se. His eyes were filled with excitement, but he pursed his lips and forced himself to hold back.

“You’re wearing such thin clothes when you’re out.”

He put down the teacup and smacked the armrest of the sofa. His expression was serious.

you kids only know how to look good, but you don’t care about the cold weather. You’ll only suffer when you’re old!

As he spoke, Feng Zhongliang became unhappy, ”

you woke up late too. It’s already past eight. If you don’t want to see me, then don’t come!

He shouted loudly, and the group of servants in the room held their breaths, not daring to speak.

The house was quiet. Feng Zhongliang was furious, and the flesh on his cheeks trembled. He seemed to be regretful, but he could not bring himself to make peace. He turned around angrily.

Mother Wang peeked at Jiang se cautiously, afraid that she would embarrass her. Young girls were all very thin-skinned, and even Feng Nan, Feng Zhongliang’s granddaughter, could not stand Feng Zhongliang’s temper, let alone Jiang se, who was an outsider.

“Please don’t take it to heart with the old man.”

Mother Wang lowered her voice. She glanced at Jiang se, who was carrying a gift, and felt a little sympathetic toward her. Then, she turned to look at Feng Zhongliang.

“The old man just misses you too much.”

He would never say it out loud, but his actions showed how much he missed her.

“After you called him yesterday, the old man went to bed late at night. He got up at five in the morning and went downstairs to cut the flowers himself.”

Mother Wang pointed at the wintersweet on the coffee table. we’ve asked about the time more than ten times, and even asked Xiao Liu to personally go to the front to keep an eye on it.

From Feng Zhongliang’s initial rejection of Jiang se to his acceptance and then to his current fondness for her, the servants in the family had all witnessed it.

“Yesterday, the old man ordered the kitchen to make pastries, snacks, and fruits.”

He had been waiting for a long time and had woken up too early. That was why he felt that even if Jiang se had arrived at eight o ‘clock, she would still be too late in Feng Zhongliang’s eyes.

“I understand,”

Jiang se nodded. She was well aware of Feng Zhongliang’s temper.

She picked up her things and walked toward Feng Zhongliang. He was still sulking with a dark expression. No one knew if he was angry because of his earlier outburst or because he was indeed upset that Jiang se had arrived too late.

“Grandpa.”

Jiang se squatted down and hugged the bag in her arms. She looked up at Feng Zhongliang.

“I’m back,”

She smiled. it’s not that I didn’t want to come earlier. I was just worried that I would disturb your rest.

Feng Zhongliang’s lips moved. The young girl squatted in front of him and smiled sincerely, as if she was not embarrassed by his unreasonable anger and blame earlier.
