Chapter 327 Heart Talk
Chapter 327
Annie came over with a frown and pulled Xue Xiaobao. John, who had been smiling, opened his mouth in authentic Chinese.
"Annie, your brother is very humorous." John smiled.
As soon as this came out, Xue Xiaobao was stunned and dumbfounded. This guy is a Chinese speaker. It was a shame. Originally, Xue Xiaobao thought that John could not understand Chinese, so he talked nonsense, but he didn't expect that the handsome foreign devil in front of him spoke fluent Chinese.
Now that you have said it, let's wait until the end.
Annie stared at Xue Xiaobao and then said to John, "John. Please forgive my brother for his rudeness. I'm here to apologize for him.
"It's okay. There is an old Chinese saying that you don't know each other if you don't fight." John has always been smiling and polite.
It is precisely because of John's gentlemanly demeanor that Xue Xiaobao feels ashamed and paralyzed. I have a true temperament, a pure man, and I never pretend to be a child.
Xue Xiaobao comforts himself in his heart, because there is a gap between people after all. He also said, "Brother John, since you are here, let's go into the house and have a seat." By the way, let's learn Chinese.
John has never entered this manor, because today is his first visit. The moment he walked into the living room, he couldn't help marveling at the decorations in the room.
"It's so beautiful. This is the charm of Chinese culture. It's so beautiful." John couldn't help praising.
Xue Xiaobao knew that he was not pretending, but he liked the decorations in the room from the bottom of his heart. In fact, there are many foreigners who are obsessed with Chinese culture. There are many auction companies internationally, and art experts know a lot about Chinese culture. In particular, the cultural works of art and antiques left by our ancestors are deeply obsessed with foreigners.
John is a person who has been very interested in oriental culture since he was a child, especially porcelain. Looking at the house decoration, he can't put it down.
"Anne, can I touch it with my hand?" John looked at Anne expectantly and asked in English.
Anne nodded with a smile. John took out his white gloves and slowly approached the porcelain. He picked up the colorful bowl made in the Qianlong year of the Qing Dynasty with great care.
Xue Xiaobao smiled and said, "This guy is really good. This room is full of antiques. There are a lot of porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty, but the colorful bowls made in the Qianlong year of the Qing Dynasty are the most precious.
The quality of the things in the living room is naturally a little low. Good baby, who will put it in the hall, of course, will also put one or two boutique facades.
"It's so beautiful." John couldn't put it down and praised.
"Of course, this is a boutique of official kilns." Xue Xiaobao said.
"Mr. Xue, you are very researching antiques. Can you teach me?" John asked.
"No, I won't accept apprentices." Xue Xiaobao said proudly.
Annie bit her lip, came angrily, and whispered, "You can die if you don't brag. Grandpa said, don't invite others to come home, you... Humph!"
"I'm paralyzed. I just said politely. Who knows that this guy can't even hear the polite words on his nose."
"Huh! I don't care. You can explain it to Grandpa later. Anne said a few more words to John in English, and then went upstairs.
Xue Xiaobao thought about how to get him away. In case the second master blamed him, he would be scolded.
"Brother John, it's getting late. Would you like to go back to rest and come back another day?" Xue Xiaobao said with a smile.
"No... I'm not tired." John said.
Damn it, you're not tired. This foreign devil is really solid and doesn't turn at all. Xue Xiaobao is in trouble now. What he has said is obvious enough, but the foreign devil can't understand.
"John, that's it today. Come back another day." Xue Xiaobao was too lazy to beat around the bush and directly issued an order to expel guests.
"Oh, okay, okay. Goodbye. It's a good time to meet you, Mr. Xue. There is still a charming smile on John's face.
Xue Xiaobao now has an illusion that this guy is born to laugh and paralyzed. I have said this. He can still laugh without any awkward expression. This is the so-called gentleman. I think he is short-sighted.
After seeing John off, the second master came downstairs. Seeing this, Xue Xiaobao hurried to help him.
"Second master, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" Xue Xiaobao asked softly.
"I'm old and sleep poorly. I only sleep four or five hours a day. Come on, sit down and chat with me." The second master said with a smile.
"All right." Xue Xiaobao smiled.
"Xiaobao, what do you think of that young man? It's the young man who was just driven away by you. The second master asked.
Xue Xiaobao squeezed his mouth and said, "No. From the time he entered the house to the time he left, he kept smiling. If this is a gentleman's demeanor, the so-called gentleman of Westerners is too hypocritical.
"Oh, let's talk about it." As soon as the second master heard Xue Xiaobao's words, he felt a little interesting and asked him to continue.
"Master, do you think I'm right? We Chinese people pay attention to heroism and great pride. Look at the so-called Westerners who are too fake gentlemen. To put it bluntly, it is sanctimonious, sinister and cunning. The young man named John was actually a good man, but he pretended too much. I drove him away twice. The first time I felt that he pretended not to understand. When I drove him away the second time, he seemed to be intentional and prepared, so he didn't even have an embarrassed expression. If this is rest and recuperation, this is the bottom line. Isn't the world full of hypocrites? Second master, this kind of person is too deep to socialize with him.
The second master nodded with a smile, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Xiaobao, what you said is very reasonable, but everyone is like what you said, heroic and heroic. Everything is done according to your own ideas. It is indeed the hero's job to draw a knife to help. But have you ever thought about why people like John exist and why they exist? Westerners refer to gentlemen who are: polite, modest, well-dressed, elegant, self-cultivated, knowledgeable, knowledgeable, caring, respecting the old and loving the young, respecting women, no bad hobbies, and good interpersonal relations. He is a kind-hearted and elegant man.
"Is this what we call a gentleman? But there are only a few people in our country who have been called gentlemen since ancient times. Xue Xiaobao said.
"Ha ha, Xiaobao. A gentleman is not terrible, and a villain is not terrible. The most terrible thing is the villain in a gentleman's coat. Hypocrite." The second master explained.
"Wait... wait..." The more Xue Xiaobao listened, the more wrong it became. He felt that the second master's words were pointed out. He looked at the second master doubtfully and asked, "You don't want him to be like John."
The second master smiled and did not answer.
Xue Xiaobao stood up for a moment, and justice said awe-inspiringly, "It's better to be a real villain than a hypocrite."
"Is this what your grandfather taught you?" The second master asked.
"The man of the Xue family is upright and will never be a hypocrite." Xue Xiaobao said with a straight face.
"Okay, sit down and talk. I was shocked that I was an old man. The second master said calmly and looked at Xue Xiaobao and said, "You are as stubborn as your father. Forget it, forget it, it's okay not to mention the old things. Xiaobao, the Xue family is going to be unlucky. It's difficult this time.
"Second master, I don't understand one thing. Since the National Security Bureau is staring at me, why don't you arrest me? Is it just to rob the tomb? In that case, they should arrest me when I'm at the airport. Xue Xiaobao didn't understand what was going on.
"Xiaobao, you are still too young, and it's too limited to see things. What you are looking for is a legendary treasure that can make people live forever. Our country has believed in this matter in all dynasties. Even if those people talk nonsense, they will remain more or less suspicious and want to find out whether the legend is true. If the National Security Bureau arrests you, who will help them verify this legend? At that time, they will ask you for help, the country will be passive. Unless they conclude that there is no such thing as immortality in the world, then they will arrest you. As long as there is a little hope now, they won't give up? By the way, don't you have a fairy sister? She is a good proof.
"Oh. So that's it. What does the second master mean that they know about the resurrection of my fairy sister? Xue Xiaobao asked.
"Of course, you have their undercover agents around you. Now get rid of the undercover agents and force them to come to you. The second master said.
Xue Xiaobao frowned and thought about it carefully. He muttered to himself, "Looking for me? Then they will be passive, and I can negotiate with them. Anyway, it's a dead end. Let's get the benefits first.
"Xiaobao, you are very smart. What I'm thinking about now is how to keep you. Things are complicated and difficult, and some things must be considered first. The second master said, pointing to the teacup on the coffee table.
Xue Xiaobao hurriedly heated the kettle and poured tea for the second master.
"Then you always think of any good way." Xue Xiaobao asked nervously.
The second master shook his head and said, "No matter what agreement you have with them, when it's over, you can't escape death. Even if you hide with me, it's not safe. Because this secret is too much involved, those who know this secret will definitely abandon it when it is time to give up.
"It is the government's usual way to unload the mill and kill the donkey." Xue Xiaobao said.
"Hmm."
"Second Master, you don't know that I'm a donkey, and I'm going backwards without walking. If this matter goes out of control, I will bear it all by myself. Xue Xiaobao said.
"Silly boy, can you bear it alone? Even if you want to bear it, others won't agree then.
