Chapter 2512 Gu Jinzhou 212
No reward for no merit.
Yuan Jinzhi naturally refused to accept this extremely expensive jade Buddha.
She pressed the jadeite into Gu Aoting's palm and said, "Grandpa, you should keep this precious gift for yourself. I will be working in a government agency in the future, and even if you give me this jadeite, I won't have the chance to wear it."
Gu Aoting sighed painfully, "To tell you the truth, Tianyu gave it to me. He said that I have been in a difficult situation this year. He just sent me a message and asked me to give you this jadeite, saying that it can help me break a difficult situation."
He handed her the phone to look at.
After reading the message, Yuan Jinzhi fell into deep thought.
Although she had no doubt about Shen Tianyu's ability to predict the future, her woman's sixth sense told her that this piece of information was not very serious.
It seems like he is teasing Gu Aoting.
If her intuition was correct, it was hard to imagine that the handsome man who seemed to be out of touch with the world could have an unruly side.
Yuan Jinzhi still declined, "Grandpa, I really can't accept it. If my parents find out, they will blame me."
Gu Aoting placed the jadeite on the sofa, muttering, "Take it, take it. Consider it my loss to avoid disaster."
Even though he said that, Gu Aoting still felt the pain.
If I had known this, I would have worn a smaller one with poorer water quality when I went out today.
He glanced at the imperial green jade Buddha as big as a baby's fist with reluctance, then turned and left, leaning on his crutches.
If I don’t leave now, I’m afraid I will pick it up uncontrollably.
It would be so degrading to do that!
Yuan Jinzhi grabbed the jadeite, caught up with him, and stuffed it into his hand.
Gu Aoting said angrily, "Kid, I gave it to you and you just took it! Who are you looking down on? It's just a jade Buddha, isn't it? I bought the material and asked someone to carve it more than 20 years ago. It wasn't so valuable 20 years ago. Take it. I'll get angry if you keep trying to pass it around!"
Seeing that he was really angry, Yuan Jinzhi stopped refusing.
She walked Gu Aoting to the car and helped him in.
Gu Aoting thought this girl was not bad, attentive, polite, and well-educated.
Pity.
If Yuan Bojun hadn't interfered, she and Zhou Zhou might have really been able to succeed.
But if she was not Yuan Bojun's granddaughter and was born in an ordinary family, he would look down on her.
It is difficult to say what the fate between people is.
The car started, Gu Aoting touched his empty chest, his heart aching so much that it bled.
Forget it, forget it, losing money can avoid disaster, losing money can avoid disaster.
From then on, Gu Aoting became interested in the "Book of Changes".
He just wanted to know, is it necessary to lose such a huge amount of money in order to avoid disaster?
When he returned home, he asked his housekeeper to buy a copy of the "Book of Changes" from the Chu Bamboo Slips kept in the Shanghai Museum. The Chu Bamboo Slips are the earliest version of the "Book of Changes", and the original version was engraved on bamboo slips.
If you want to watch it, watch the most authentic one.
But when he got the copy, Gu Aoting was dumbfounded.
He doesn't recognize 99% of the words above.
I recognize the character “尨”, which means dragon, and I also know what it means. I recognize a few other characters, but I don’t know what they mean.
At noon the next day, he went to the hospital to find Yan Hesong with the copy of "The Book of Changes". This old man was a restorer of ancient paintings, so he must have some attainments in ancient Chinese literature.
He opened the book, pointed at the rare characters on it, and asked Yan Hesong: "Little Old Yan, is this � the dragon in the Chinese zodiac?"
Yan Hesong asked Yan Qingyu for reading glasses with trembling hands.
Yan Qingyu said: "Grandpa, let me do it."
She walked over, sat down next to Gu Aoting, pointed at the characters on it, and said, "Grandpa, this is Chu Jian characters. 尨 is not "龙", it is the modern "蒙", 茹 is "需", 敂 is "污", 啐 is "萃", 汫 is the modern "井", 漌 is "建", 繲 is "解..."
Gu Aoting felt dizzy after hearing this.
Interlaced like mountains.
He was a good businessman, but when he came across these ancient characters, he felt like an illiterate.
I can't even recognize all the characters, let alone study them.
Gu Aoting threw the book aside and said, "I won't study it anymore! I'm over a hundred years old, why am I still suffering like this!"
Yan Qingyu said, "Grandpa, you can read the Twenty-Four Histories in your spare time. Read the vernacular version, which doesn't have many uncommon characters."
Gu Aoting waved his hand, "I can't watch it. I still like to watch the news and financial programs."
"You can also read the History of Ming Dynasty. You are very similar to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty, but you started out better than him, you are more handsome than him, and you are more benevolent than him."
Gu Aoting liked to hear this.
On the way back, he went to the bookstore in person.
Having learned from his last experience, he decided not to buy the original version this time. The original version was written in ancient language and was difficult to understand and brain-intensive.
He flipped through more than a dozen books in front of the bookshelf, and finally found a version that was easy to understand and used humorous words. He only tried to read one page and was absorbed in it, reading it with great fascination.
I asked the bodyguard to pay for a set, which contained nine books.
When he got home, he lay on the recliner, closed his eyes, and asked the housekeeper to read to him.
He had always known that reading history made people wise, but he had not liked reading history before.
Because the historical articles written by many people are boring and mostly for academic research, it is difficult to arouse people's interest.
However, this book is obviously a heavy and profound history, but the author wrote it in a humorous style without losing the historical rigor.
After listening for half an hour, Gu Aoting patted the armrest of the recliner and told the butler: "Look at the cover. Which author wrote this book? Such an interesting author, I must treat him to a meal."
The butler turned to the cover and found the author's small words. He was surprised and asked, "How can it be such a coincidence?"
Gu Aoting opened his eyes and rolled his eyes at him, "What's a coincidence? You're already over 50 years old, why are you so jumpy like a young man?"
The housekeeper said, "Old Master, the writer's surname is also Yan, Yan Qingyu. Could she be Mr. Zhou's girlfriend?"
Gu Aoting disagreed, "It must be a duplicate name."
He closed his eyes again. "Who dares to write about history without studying it for 20 to 30 years? This is a paper book. If you don't have some skills, the publishing house won't publish it because they have to bear the cost risk. Qingyu is only in her twenties. She has to study and learn ancient painting restoration. Where does she have the time to study history? Since she is a female writer, I won't invite her. If Xiaoshu hears about it, she will be jealous."
The housekeeper chuckled.
How can it be so funny when these words come from a man who is over a hundred years old?
When the old man doesn't mind his own business, he is really a funny guy.
Suddenly remembering something, Gu Aoting raised his hand and made arrangements: "Let Zhou Zhou take time out to treat Jin Zhi to a meal and give her something valuable. Although it's just acting, but I still owe her something for avoiding her. We in the Gu family don't like to owe anyone."
The housekeeper quickly agreed.
Thinking of the imperial green jade Buddha that he had given away, Gu Aoting's flesh began to ache again.
That jade Buddha is his favorite.
I wore it to the hospital yesterday, intentionally showing it off to Yan Hesong, but Tianyu took it away and gave it to Yuan Jinzhi.
Gu Aoting touched his empty chest and decided not to wear expensive things when going out in the future.
