Chapter 1266: Still a Little Short of Perfection

For big occasions, formal attire is the main thing. Customized luxury clothes and antique jewelry are too eye-catching and not very good.

"Xiao Mo, when will you go to Gusu?"

"There is no specific plan yet. There are dedicated people in charge there, and my master is also taking care of it. The treasures of the shipwreck of the Northern Song Dynasty have been sorted out, and the treasures of the sunken steel ship at the end of World War II are almost in the middle. There is nothing major. I don’t need to be there in person.”

Li Mo punched a few times to loosen his muscles and bones.

"I want to ask if the treasures from Genghis Khan's mausoleum have been opened to the public in Suzhou. Why don't you show up for such a big thing?"

Li Mo punched out, and there was a soft thud in the air. He flicked his wrist and said, "I'm so busy that I forgot about such a big thing. But Professor Sima Haotian didn't contact me, so he must know that I can't smoke at the moment. Come on. It’s okay. I’ll call you later to check on you and express my concern.”

Qin Sirui chuckled: "You got away quickly. Professor Sima and the others have worked very hard. If not, we will take advantage of the National Day to invite everyone to sit here. The lake has also been re-constructed. You can go boating and fishing, and you can also enjoy the lake." BBQ and chat, get together with old friends. ”

"That's okay. How about I help my wife with the preliminary preparations?"

"It's a small matter, I'll just arrange it. You can decide who to invite, and then tell me the specific number of people, and I'll prepare enough ingredients." Qin Sirui picked up the scissors and started trimming again, "Why don't you change your clothes, and we'll do it later. I went to my grandpa’s house. I’ve been away for such a long time. Now that I’m back, I’ll go and visit the old man.”

"Okay, let's go to the Qin family compound first and have a meal there at noon. In the afternoon, we'll go to my grandpa's house and have another meal in the evening. I'll go change my clothes and you'll be ready too."

At the end of September, the weather in Kyoto was still quite hot, unlike the fighting nations at the moment where heavy snow had begun to fall in some places. Li Mo changed into a set of casual clothes and waited in the yard for more than ten minutes before seeing Sirui come out dressed nicely.

"pretty."

"Hate."

Qin Sirui took his arm and walked out of the yard, and said as he walked: "Grandpa's health has not been very good recently. Mr. Wu said that these are common diseases of the elderly and he needs a good rest. If he wants to drink at noon, you can persuade him. Our advice is of no use, but he will definitely listen to your advice.”

"How do I realize that you all regard me as omnipotent?"

"Aren't you omnipotent?"

Hahaha--

The Qin family compound has not been here for a long time. The security guards greeted Li Mo and his wife respectfully when they saw them.

Mr. Qin was sitting in his study, listening to hard tunes. Young people definitely didn't like this style of music, but he just loved it. The tune was as sonorous and powerful as a soldier.

Chu Li and her children were also in the compound today. When they saw Li Mo and Qin Sirui, the two children happily ran over and called them aunt and uncle.

"Chu Li, these two children have inherited your good genes." Li Mo touched the heads of the two children and gave each of them a red envelope, "Uncle, don't spend the pocket money aunt gave you indiscriminately, you know. ?"

"I know, thank you uncle, thank you aunt."

The two children took the red envelopes and ran aside to play.

"Just spoil your children. Knowing that you are coming to the compound, the two children will come over no matter what. They are probably waiting for your red envelopes. Tomorrow is the National Day holiday, and they also want to go out to play and buy something for themselves. "My favorite toys and food." Chu Li came over and said with a smile, "Both children are also your big fans and ask if there is any news about you almost every day."

"It seems that my status in the children's minds is quite high. As for pocket money, as long as they don't spend it casually, it doesn't hurt to give them more."

"Grandpa is in the study. You go first. I'll make you a pot of tea and send it over."

Qin Sirui smiled and said, "I'll go with you."

The two women left happily, and Li Mo walked into the study alone. When Mr. Qin saw him arriving, he pointed to the single sofa next to him.

"Grandpa, your little tune is quite interesting."

Mr. Qin stretched out his hand to turn off the old-fashioned machine and said with a smile: "After listening to it all my life, I still think this is suitable for me, but Mr. Wu has always told me to listen to some soft music, which can soothe my emotions and is good for my body. I listened, and I heard The babbling has no energy at all.”

"If you don't like it, then don't listen, but you should listen to what Mr. Wu says. My heart beats faster when I listen to such a sonorous and powerful tune."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, what you said makes sense, I will try to listen as little as possible in the future." Mr. Qin was in a good mood when he saw Li Mo coming over. There is a successor to the Qin family, and he has nothing to be dissatisfied with. The secluded life these years has been Quite pleasant.

"Grandpa, you're going to stay with us for a few days during the National Day, go fishing, have fun at a farmhouse, etc."

Mr. Qin waved his hand: "I don't want to run around as an old man. I just take a walk in the alley when I'm free. By the way, you have to attend the National Day dinner tomorrow, so try not to talk too much."

"Grandpa, don't worry. Under the training of you and my grandpa, I know what to do on any occasion. I try to keep a low profile. Of course, if others insist on coming over to talk to me, it's not okay for me to ignore them. "

Li Mo said modestly.

"Hahaha." Mr. Qin was amused again and pointed at him, "You, you, yes, you are right. It's not good for you to ignore others when they ask you to chat. After all, there are only those who are eligible to attend the dinner party tomorrow. They all have great backgrounds, it’s up to you to decide.”

Qin Sirui carried the fruit plate, and Chu Li carried the tea set into the study.

"Grandpa, aren't you going to attend the dinner tomorrow? Let Li Mo sit next to you. You can chat with him, and others won't be embarrassed to interrupt."

Chu Li poured them a cup of tea.

"You think the seats are random, then the scene will be in chaos." Old Qin picked up the teacup and blew it and took a sip, "Tomorrow, your grandfather and I will not go."

"Why?"

Li Mo thought about it and knew the reason. Since he had already completely withdrawn, he should not show up again. No wonder Old Qin had specially reminded him just now.

"Class Leader Chu, Grandpa is not in good health and needs to rest well. The dinner lasted a little long, and it's not good for Grandpa to sit for a long time."

Li Mo helped explain, and Old Qin gave him a look of approval.

"I'm really old now, so I just want to stay still as much as possible. Xiao Li, ask the kitchen to give Xiao Mo a few more specialties at noon. He's probably lost his appetite after spending so many days in the fighting nation."

"Grandpa, I've already told him."

Qin Sirui and Chu Li were eating fruit on the side when they heard the happy laughter of two children outside.

"Grandpa, uncle said he'll come to eat at noon, but I told you in advance that you can't be greedy and drink more."

"Your uncle will probably have something to talk to Xiao Mo about when he comes back for dinner. He's really restless. But Sirui, I'm already this age, and the only hobby I have left is a little wine. Can I drink less?"

"Of course not, health is the most important thing." Qin Sirui refused directly, and then glanced at Li Mo, motioning him to talk too.

Li Mo had to smile and said, "Grandpa, Si Rui is right, health is the most important. However, it's not good to not let you drink alcohol all of a sudden. I have a suggestion for you, smell the aroma of wine, just as a way to satisfy your craving."

"Hahaha, I just said that in our family, I like chatting with Xiao Mo the most, and every sentence can touch my heart. Okay, I don't drink, but I can smell the aroma of wine."

"Then I reluctantly agree." Qin Si Rui poured a cup of hot tea for Old Qin, "Grandpa, drink more tea."

As the few of them were chatting, they heard Qin Weiguo's voice: "Xiao Mo, you spoil those two children too much. Every time you see them, you give them red envelopes. When I came back, I saw them buying toys at the entrance of the alley."

Li Mo quickly stood up: "Uncle, we are all children."

"Sit down."

Qin Weiguo sat on the sofa, and Qin Sirui poured him a cup of tea: "Uncle, this is the second brew, when the fragrance is the strongest, taste it."

"This is the old man's inventory. If Xiao Mo didn't come, I wouldn't get any benefit, haha."

Old Qin glanced at him and asked: "How did you have time to come? You must be very busy."

Qin Weiguo drank a cup of tea, "Xiao Mo helped the fighting nation find three treasures at once, one of which was more than 100 tons of yellow Gold treasure. Coupled with his previous performance in France and the Philippines, many countries are now jealous. You will have to deal with it tomorrow. "

"What's the use of their jealousy? Could it be that their country also has gold treasures buried somewhere?" Qin Lao snorted, "Xiao Mo, you shouldn't have helped them dig out the gold treasure this time, and ended up making such a big fuss."

"I really didn't want to, but just one Napoleon treasure is not enough. Now all the cultural relics and antiques unearthed from the Western Xia Black Water City civilization, and all the Chinese cultural relics that were looted by the Tsar and displayed in their museums, are I think it's worth it. Especially the former, which is of great significance. "

Qin Weiguo nodded: "Tell us more about it."

Li Mo leaned forward slightly and said: "The most important cultural relics in the Black Water City of the Western Xia Dynasty are documents. There are more than 8,000 kinds of Western Xia publications and manuscripts alone, and there are also a large number of books and scriptures in Chinese, Tibetan, Mongolian, Persian, etc. The fighting nation has been sorting it out for a century and it has not been completed yet. You can imagine how much volume there is. "

Everyone was shocked. It took a century to sort it out and it was too scary.

"Plus a large number of pottery, ironware, textiles, sculptures and paintings. After the National Day, I will organize a team of at least 100 experts to reorganize the Xixia Blackwater City civilization. The task is important and long-term."

"No wonder you use three treasures to negotiate with them. If it were just Napoleon's treasure, you really wouldn't have any capital."

Qin Weiguo patted him on the shoulder: "You kid really made us proud this time, good job."

"It's just to help the official. If I go in my personal name, I will definitely scrape a little more meat from them." Li Mo chatted for a few words before asking, "Uncle, do you have anything else important?"

"Didn't you say before that in Is there a third sunken ship in the South China Sea? When are you going to salvage it? "

"October or after June next year, anyway, so far, this is the only big thing I have to do. After it is completed, I will stop looking for treasures, do some solid research, and spend more time with my wife and children. "

Old Qin glanced at Qin Weiguo, frowned and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, there are no outsiders here."

Qin Weiguo hesitated and said: "Xiao Mo, you also know that Sijun is still a little short of maturity. His pace is definitely not as fast as Shibin, but he is much faster than his peers. This upward momentum is faster step by step. If it is stuck at one point, it may take a few more years. "

Li Mo understood what he meant, that is, if Qin Sijun was to be promoted, he still lacked a little credit. Normally, his promotion speed is already fast enough, so if he is promoted again if his accumulation of credit is not absolutely large, he may be suppressed by his superiors.

"Uncle, if the treasures of that sunken ship in the late Ming Dynasty are salvaged, will Sijun be ready?"

Qin Weiguo shook his head slightly: "It's difficult."

Then there is nothing you can do.

"If he can get stuck and take another step next year, then just give it time, because his foundation is already very solid, and his achievements with Shibin will definitely surpass those of your uncle and I in the future."

Shibin's rapid promotion is really a result of his hard work. The credit from the snow area alone is not that great. It is a gold mine. Coupled with the merits of guarding the border, he is unstoppable and has no obstacles to promotion along the way.

Li Mo was muttering in his heart. Qin Weiguo came back at noon and mentioned to him the affairs of other countries, and also mentioned that Qin Sijun still lacked some enthusiasm. The combination of these two things made him forget it.

"Uncle, during the National Day Ceremony dinner tomorrow night, if any foreign envoys really want to talk to me, I will see if there is an exciting mysterious treasure. Maybe I can take another order before I retire."

Qin Weiguo poured him a cup of tea: "I'll have a cup with you at noon. I know you're not a good drinker, so just one cup."

"Okay, just one cup."

After everyone chatted for a while, Li Mo proposed that he and Sirui go out for a walk at the entrance of the alley. After they went out, Mr. Qin said in a deep voice: "Weiguo, you are a little greedy."

Qin Weiguo sighed softly: "Dad, I have no hope of going up again, but Sijun still has a chance if he works hard."

"Our Qin family owes Xiao Mo a lot. When I leave in the future, you must protect him even more."

Qin Weiguo said solemnly: "Dad, not only our Qin family, but also the poets, Qiu family, Zhang family, and Qian family will be a united front. Xiao Mo has also been recognized by several big shots in Zhongnanhai, so he is very Safety."

Mr. Qin nodded slightly and drank all the tea in the cup.

"Xiao Mo has a unique talent and has abilities that ordinary people don't have. Maybe he has some bad premonition, so he has to completely retire."
