Chapter 144: Master of Tricks
Zhou Rong was a little flustered and quickly shrank to one side:
"It's because I missed you too much..."

Fortunately, the girl was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket. If she had worn cooler clothes and put on high heels and stockings with long legs, Wang Yuanchao would definitely not be able to bear it.

Wang Yuanchao said pretentiously:

“If we really love each other, we should understand that love is not just a momentary passion and romance, but needs to stand the baptism and test of time.

It must be able to withstand the impact of the passing years.

As time goes by, we will change, grow older, darker, and uglier, but good love will not diminish or disappear.

Because it is based on deep understanding and spiritual connection and is not disturbed by external factors.

Good love can transcend time and exist forever.

It must be able to withstand the test of separation.

For example, now, the two of us may separate for various reasons, but good love will not collapse because of this.

It can withstand the distance and pain of separation and remain steadfast and loyal.

Good love is able to maintain connection and support at a distance, giving each other strength and courage.

The Song Dynasty poet Qin Guan said in his poem "Magpie Bridge Fairy":

'If the love lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night? '

If you waver, please tell me.

Maybe, what happened between us was just a momentary throbbing sensation, and had nothing to do with love. "

Wang Yuanchao's rhythmic recitation, modern chicken soup articles and Qin Guan's classic quotations made Zhou Rong's eyes sparkle with stars. It was so touching!
As expected, he is the talented Wang Yuanchao!
She felt that she was so ignorant!

Not pure!
Once her thoughts were purified, Zhou Rong actually became shy, her cheeks flushed, and she said:
"Then you should put on your clothes quickly. You look so ugly wrapped in a coat."

As Wang Yuanchao put on his clothes, he said:

"I'd like to invite you out for lunch at noon. What would you like to eat? I'm going back to the capital tonight."

Zhou Rong was surprised:
"Leaving tonight?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"I came here on a business trip, so I just happened to see you. I have new creative tasks to do when I return!"

Wang Yuanchao wanted to stay here for a few more days, but Director Jin was probably worried about him, so he took the opportunity to buy a batch of precious medicinal materials, visit his master and Zheng Juan, and maintain the relationship between the two big brothers Wang Bin and Lu Weidong. That was enough.

The main reason is that the girls here can’t be eaten, so there’s nothing to miss about them.

Wang Yuanchao wanted to take Zhou Rong out quickly to avoid colliding with Zheng Juan who was coming to work. Although Zheng Juan was weak, it would not look good anyway.

Well, I’m also afraid that Zhou Rong will bully Zheng Juan.

Zheng Juan, that honest girl, is no match for Zhou Rong.

He quickly washed up, and the two of them went downstairs.

I happened to run into Zheng Juan who was coming to work.

Zheng Juan's excited face froze instantly:

Brother Yuan Chao doesn't have that intention towards me??? Otherwise, why would he bring such a beautiful and charming sister downstairs? They wouldn't... have been together last night, right? No wonder Brother Yuan Chao wanted to send me home so late at night!
Wang Yuanchao ignored Zheng Juan and dragged Zhou Rong out of the guesthouse.

We can't let Zhou Rong see any clues.

He decided to strike first and take the initiative:
"Hey, that little girl just looked at you like she was dumbfounded, do you know her?"

Zhou Rong also saw the silly little girl. Not to mention, she was as tall as her, and a bit shorter than her, which made her look even more petite and lovely.

She herself is a tall girl from Northeast China.

She didn't think Wang Yuanchao didn't see it, but who knew that Wang Yuanchao asked back.

"Ah? I don't know him!"

Wang Yuanchao said shamelessly:

"Could it be that he was shocked when he saw us, the golden boy and the beautiful girl?"

Zhou Rong couldn't help but giggle. Being with him, she felt inexplicably good.

There is no such thing as a long Spring Festival holiday these days. Everyone goes back to work on the third day of the New Year, not to mention that today is already the fifth day of the New Year.

Zhou Rong went out early in the morning without having breakfast, so the two of them found a roadside breakfast stall and had a delicious meal. Wang Yuanchao even added meat for her.

In fact, to be honest, among all the women he has met, Zhou Rong has the highest IQ. After all, she will be able to be a professor at the Capital University in ten years. It's just that she is too selfish and lovesick.

Moreover, this woman would not tolerate him cheating outside. In the original drama, they divorced because Feng Huacheng cheated on his female student.

Another thing is that this woman doesn't care about her children. She just leaves the baby she gave birth to to her younger brother and sister-in-law to take care of, without even looking at him.

Absolute egoism.

She is at the opposite extreme from Mrs. Qin in the Siheyuan.

Not a good match.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuanchao felt that he should take the initiative to reject her!
Does he still need women in his life?

What the hell was that just said at the reception?
But fortunately, I didn’t say I loved her.

Unfortunately, this relationship could not stand the test of time and distance. It was Wang Yuanchao's fault, huh.

I stopped writing letters as soon as I got back!
Until I figure out how Zhou Rong found out his whereabouts, I’ll have to stay in a different guesthouse next time I come to Fengtian.

There was no street to stroll around or movies to watch these days, and it was cold outside in the winter, so the two of them went to the Liao Provincial Museum in Fengtian.

Wang Yuanchao had a letter of introduction, and he said he was out to collect folk songs, so the two of them easily bought tickets and entered.

The predecessor of Liaoning Provincial Museum was the Northeast Museum, which opened in 49 and is the first museum of the new era!

The collection is rich, reaching more than 100,000 pieces.

The collection is mainly composed of archaeological artifacts unearthed in Liao Province and historical and artistic artifacts handed down from generation to generation. It is divided into 17 categories of cultural relics, including archaeology, calligraphy and painting, sculpture, ceramics, silk embroidery, clothing, bronze ware, currency, lacquerware, cloisonné, furniture, paleontology, ethnic minority cultural relics, oracle bones, stele and inscriptions, forming a large-scale collection system.

Among them, the most distinctive and influential are the fine calligraphy and paintings from the Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, kesi embroidery from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, jade artifacts from the Hongshan culture, bronze artifacts from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, ceramics from the Liao dynasty, steles and inscriptions from successive dynasties, prints from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and ancient maps.

For Wang Yuanchao, the most famous work is "Lady with Flowers in Her Hair".

He didn't know how he knew only about "Lady with a Flower in Her Hairpin".

After a quick tour, he took Zhou Rong to the Lumingchun Restaurant.

In this way, when you talk about it later, it can be said that you have truly loved.

Whether it was the museum or Lumingchun, Zhou Rong had broadened her horizons, as she had never been there before.

This is simply - if she is not very worldly-wise, take her to see all the splendor in the world.

In the afternoon, Wang Yuanchao sent Zhou Rong away easily and gave her some pocket money.

He had some work to do before he left, so he couldn't stay with her any longer.

Zhou Rong also became very considerate and sensible, and did not suspect anything.

Then Wang Yuanchao came to his uncle's small clinic, where he had practiced before. He asked his uncle to help buy some medicinal materials. His uncle was too lazy to bother, so he just took a root of old ginseng and deer blood wine to deal with him last time.

But my uncle had a family to support, and the clinic was a joint public-private venture, so he earned even less. So he was happy to help out and earn some handling fees.

I received a call from my nephew in advance, and during this New Year holiday, I ran around to help him find medicine.

Local specialties such as ginseng, deer antler, schisandra chinensis, epimedium, toad oil, etc. have been prepared and packed by Wang Yuanchao and can be taken away once they are placed in the space.

During the handover, we chatted and found out that Zhou Rong actually got the news from here and knew that he was coming today!
This woman is so meticulous and terrifying! It would be a waste if she didn't become Sherlock Holmes!

Naturally, he also saw that Zheng Juan’s blind brother Zheng Guangming could already massage people’s acupoints!
So he chatted with the son of the uncle who was taking over the job, who was also his senior brother, and asked, "It didn't take this kid long to learn, but he's already got the hang of it?"

The senior brother smiled and said:

"It's not a very complicated thing. Even if you are taught, you still need to practice more to master it better."

Finally, the senior brother whispered again:
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Junior Brother.

Inspired by Guangming, our clinic accepted several apprentices, provided them with meals, and taught them massage for five years. After the five years, no matter how well they learned, they could go out and start their own business.

You see, during the Chinese New Year, our clinic is very busy. Come and get a massage whenever you want. It’s not expensive. If you have an illness, you can get it treated. If you don’t have any illness, you can feel relaxed after the massage.”

As a means of treatment and health preservation, massage is actually quite costly.

However, these kids will only press a few limited acupoints for you, which is similar to what you experienced in a blind massage parlor in your previous life.

They don't know how to treat diseases, so they just press the acupoints that their master and senior brothers tell them to press.

Anyway, they currently know how to press it, but they don’t know why they should press it that way.

One day, the master or senior brothers will remember it and explain a few principles to you. Whether you can remember it or not depends on you.

These blind teenagers cannot find jobs, so they work very hard to make a living. They and their families are extremely grateful.

Wang Yuanchao sighed:

"Master, this is a great good deed!"

The senior brother smiled and said:

"Hey, don't be afraid of being laughed at by my junior brothers. My father is the least promising one among my master's disciples. He has worked in the hospital for so many years, but he can't even be promoted to deputy chief physician.

He had an accident a few years ago and had to resign from the hospital to open this small clinic.

It’s just a small clinic, and it’s a public-private partnership, and its lease will expire soon.

Among all the apprentices I taught, I was actually the most promising one. Well, let’s not talk about it.

This massage has also brought some new income to our clinic.

My dad and I are discussing whether or not to put a few more beds in the back room.

I hope you don’t think we’re exploiting them.”

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Nonsense, you've heard the story of Zigong redeeming a man and Zilu accepting a cow, right? We can't let people do good deeds for no reason and at their own expense. If we do that, no one will do good deeds in the end.

But this is something we can only say among ourselves, not to others. We should learn to be good people and do good things to others!"

The senior brother was stunned and said:
"Oh, yes! But what's the story behind Zigong redeeming the cow?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Zigong redeemed the people, and Zilu received the cattle!"

Then I briefly told the story:
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a law in the State of Lu that if Lu people were enslaved in a foreign country, anyone who could redeem them could claim the ransom from the state treasury.

Once, Zigong redeemed a man from Lu in a foreign country, but refused to accept the state compensation after returning home. When Confucius learned about this, he said:
"Zi Gong made a mistake. From now on, the people of Lu will not redeem slaves from other countries. Accepting compensation from the state will not damage your character; but if you do not accept compensation, no one in Lu will redeem their fellow countrymen who have died."

Zilu rescued a drowning man, and the man thanked him by giving him a cow, which Zilu accepted.

Confucius said happily:

"From now on, the people of Lu will have the courage to rescue those who fall into the water."

After listening to this, the senior brother nodded thoughtfully and said:
"Confucius actually said something like this. I'm enlightened."

Wang Yuanchao also reminded:
"Some things are enough to know. But you can't say them, understand? It has to be consistent with the current propaganda direction!"

The senior brother nodded. He was not a child. His own children could already help out with the cooking. How could he talk nonsense?

"We are not stupid. Your uncle's statement to the public is to teach these blind children how to make a living. I would not say this if it were not to you, my junior brother!"

Can it?

If Wang Yuanchao hadn't asked his uncle to help collect medicinal herbs from the surrounding areas, and if they hadn't had close financial dealings, his uncle wouldn't have talked to him about this.

To some extent, they did something together and have a close relationship, yeah.

My junior brother is also a tight-lipped person, which is good!

After saying goodbye to his uncle and senior brothers, Wang Yuanchao returned to the guesthouse. He wanted to rest here and wait for the evening train. There was no way he could just sit there and wait.

Seeing Zheng Juan standing aside, looking aggrieved, she didn't even dare to step forward and say hello.

Wang Yuanchao waved his hand before the other party dared to come over, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Follow to the room.

"I went to see Guangming. He learned very well from my uncle. I also asked my brother to take care of him and give him more guidance!"

Zheng Juan's face changed slightly and said:

"Guangming has indeed learned well. Every time he goes back, he can give my mother massage. My mother said, my mother said..."

"say what?"

Zheng Juan glanced at Wang Yuanchao, then quickly lowered her head and said:

"My mother said that this is the money I earned from selling my body..."

The voice was as low as a mosquito's.

Wang Yuanchao chuckled:
"We are not in the old society, this is not acceptable.

I just want to help you.

I hope you are doing well."

Zheng Juan felt much better after being comforted. She did not dare to ask about the girl she met in the morning. She just said:

"I will try my best, don't worry, Brother Yuan Chao!"

Wang Yuanchao took out four bottles of wine, which were leftovers from yesterday's drinking, and handed them to Zheng Juan, saying:

"After I leave, tomorrow, you will personally deliver two bottles to Brothers Wang Suo and Director Lu, two bottles for each of them.

You can only drink two cups a day, 6 cents!
After drinking it for a long time, they will naturally know the benefits! ”

Zheng Juan looked at the brown wine, which was obviously not the wine she drank yesterday, and said:
"Will they believe me?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"You said I took care of you! These are all good things for men!

If they don’t want it, you can take it back and put it at home.”

After chatting for a while, Wang Yuanchao took her out for dinner. He didn't stay at his uncle's house for dinner, just to accompany her.

When I went out, I happened to meet Director Wang Bin.

"Brother Bin, I left a few bottles of wine with my sister Juan. You and Brother Dong can each have two bottles. It's great stuff!"

Wang Bin had obviously received the news that he had returned, so he waited downstairs. Upon hearing this, he pulled his arm and said:

"I've already prepared everything, why would I go out and waste it? You don't like my little place, do you? Don't worry, just drink some wine, and you can have a good sleep on the train and get home safely!"

Wang Yuanchao wanted to refuse, but Wang Bin tilted his chin and whispered:
"You're being too formal. Do you still want me to help look after your little sister?"
