Chapter 1782 Relying on Face to Eat

This Chinese-style courtyard is close to a green space in the city center. The front yard is a wide lawn, and the veranda is built around the wall, with white walls and black tiles, extending to the private garden in the backyard.

A row of evergreen camphor trees are planted around, and the roof of the rolling shed is hidden under the green trees. It seems that there are many mountains and mountains, which visually expands the area of ​​​​the yard.

Gu Nianzhi just glanced at it casually just now, and felt that it was extraordinary.

This kind of Chinese-style courtyard takes up a lot of space, and there is also a wide courtyard, which is actually in the city center...

Gu Nianzhi curled her lips and whispered, "...can this place be a museum?"

With such a location and such an area, how could anyone without power dare to live like this?

At this point, it is impossible to live in such a house with money alone.

Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes and looked around.

He also had the same question, but he didn't mutter it like Gu Nianzhi.

The two of them came here to explore the way today, and they were dressed in a different way, not like ordinary tourists dressed like yesterday.

Today, the two are dressed very trendy, and they are of a particularly cultural atmosphere, the trend of freelance artists in Brooklyn, New York.

They all wore big sunglasses on their faces, and their hair was messed up on purpose, but it wasn't really messy, but a mess that had been carefully treated with hairspray.

Wearing a Panama hat on his head, a black suede vest on his body, and Harlem pants on his legs, he looks like an overseas Chinese who has just returned from New York.

Holding the SLR camera in his hand, he kept taking pictures of the yard, and kept making very exaggerated tone and posture.

"Oh, myGod!" (My God!)

"Thisissobeautiful!" (It's so beautiful!)

"Fabulous!" (beautiful!)

They just took two photos at the door, and a young girl dressed as a nanny in white and black trousers came out of the Chinese-style house.

She walked all the way along the gray pebble path laid on the lawn in front of the door.

Standing in front of the wooden fence at the door, she smiled and asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Gu Nianzhi hurriedly put away the camera, and gave her a thumbs up in Chinese with a strong foreign accent: "...It's so beautiful! It's so great!"

The young girl pursed her lips and smiled, "Are you foreigners? Where are you from?"

"New York, we come here from New York to collect scenery and sketch." Gu Nianzhi stammered, while speaking, he made big gestures with his arms, just like those Chinese children who were born and raised abroad.

The young girl's attitude became even better, and she said with a smile: "Our master happens to be at home today, and saw you wandering around the door, and would like to invite you in for a cup of tea."

Gu Nianzhi became vigilant in his heart, but on the surface he still looked careless, and said with a smile: "No... don't bother me. We are just taking photos and sketching."

"Our yard is very beautiful." The young girl pushed open the fence gate, "If you don't come in today, maybe you won't be able to see it later."

Gu Nianzhi looked surprised, pushed the sunglasses to the top of his head, and widened his eyes, "Why? Why?"

"Our master is going to emigrate abroad, and he donated this house to the museum in the city." The young girl moved out of the way, "The furniture inside are all rosewood, and they will be kept and will not be taken away."

Gu Nianzhi yelled "ah" and gave her a thumbs up, "Your master is so great!"

Huo Shaoheng took out a cigarette and took a puff, put it in his mouth, pretended to be foolish, and said vaguely: "...then have a look..."

It is also the feeling of foreigners speaking Chinese.

The young girl glanced at Huo Shaoheng, smiled and pointed to the log-colored trash can hidden on the other side of the fence and said, "Smoking is not allowed here, sir, please throw the trash here."

Huo Shaoheng grunted, and reluctantly threw the cigarette away.

Seeing that Huo Shaoheng did not object, Gu Nianzhi followed him into the courtyard gate.

The young girl gently closed the door behind her and led them to the main house.

The steps at the door are made of stone. I can't tell what kind of material it is, but the placement and splicing are well-proportioned and have a simple charm.

It seems that the owner is still a person who likes traditional culture?

Gu Nianzhi muttered and walked in all the way.

"Sir, they are here." The young girl stopped in front, bowed and half-bent respectfully to speak.

Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

What age is it, even if you are a servant, it is still a serious job, relying on labor to make money, why do you have to bow your knees to this point?

Is it really the British Prime Minister Aunt May who wants to kneel down and kiss Prince William's feet when she sees Prince William?

Having said that, the person opposite is not a prince yet...

Gu Nianzhi slandered endlessly.

Huo Shaoheng was already looking at the old man sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room.

This person is not young anymore, but he is well maintained. He looks like he is only in his early fifties, but according to the information, this person is already sixty-five years old.

His hair is not bad, only slightly gray, not dyed black, and his face is slightly fat, so the wrinkles are not obvious.

On the mahogany coffee table in front of him was a set of Kungfu tea tea sets. Seeing them coming in, he raised his hand casually and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you two. We are guests from afar. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea?"

Gu Nianzhi poked his head out from behind Huo Shaoheng, wrinkled his little nose weirdly, and said with a look of disgust, "I hate drinking tea! I only drink Coke!"

The man stared at Gu Nianzhi, after a while, smiled slightly, and said to the young girl standing aside: "Amei, go buy two bottles of Coke."

The young girl answered yes with a smile, turned and went out.

Huo Shaoheng took Gu Nianzhi's hand, walked with her to the sofa, and sat face to face with that person.

"Hi, excuse me. We just came from New York, art students, to sketch and take pictures." Huo Shaoheng gestured, his accent was just right.

As a former field worker stationed abroad, Huo Shaoheng's camouflage skills are excellent.

In order not to cause trouble for him, Gu Nianzhi could only speak as little as possible.

"It's okay, it's okay." The man laughed, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes appeared at this moment, and he looked a little bit vicissitudes.

His eyes wandered between Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi, and finally fixed on Gu Nianzhi's face, and said with a smile: "Did this lady also come back from abroad just now?"

"." Gu Nianzhi shrugged, "This place is cleaner than New York, I like it very much."

Hearing what Gu Nianzhi said, the man laughed out loud, slightly dispelling his doubts.

Only someone who has lived in New York for a while can say that City C is cleaner than New York.

The man poured himself a small cup of Kung Fu tea, held it in his hand, took a deep breath of the hot air and smelled it, then blew on it, sipped it, and closed his eyes to taste the taste of the tea.

Gu Nianzhi resisted not looking at Huo Shaoheng, but just looked at the furniture in the room curiously.

The young girl said just now that this place is all made of rosewood. Gu Nianzhi actually doesn't understand these woods. At first glance, he felt that the room was quite dark. There was an old cabinet in the corner with intricate carvings, which looked exquisitely crafted. But she is still insensitive to darker tones.

To be honest, if there are no people living here, it is safe to hold the ancient furniture museum...

After the man drank a cup of tea, he opened his eyes and saw Gu Nianzhi turned his head and looked around, his big eyes were full of ignorance and innocence, just like those children from a wealthy family who do not understand the sufferings of the world.

Gu Nianzhi also had a makeover today. He wore dark blue colored contact lenses in his eyes. His eyes looked blue, his hair was dyed light-colored, and his nose bridge was high and straight. He looked like a mixed-race Chinese.

Although the water chestnut lip is still very obvious.

But there are many people with such lips, and the lips alone can't explain anything.

The man looked away, smiled and told them about New York.

"I just came back from New York last year. It's a good place. I have an apartment on the side of Central Park in New York. I can see the green space of the park from the window. The scenery is good."

Gu Nianzhi suddenly looked even more surprised, "You have an apartment in Central Park?! You must be very rich! The houses there are too expensive!"

"I'm old, and I just want to find a good place to spend my old age. What does it matter if it's expensive? Money is used to spend anyway. I don't have any offspring. I don't bring them with me when I'm born or I don't take them with me when I die. Give back to the community."

The man said, and looked at Gu Nianzhi with a smile, "Miss, are you American? What do your parents do?"

Gu Nianzhi nodded, "My father is a primary school teacher, and my mother is a housewife. They don't have much money, so I have to work part-time to pay for school fees."

She pointed to the camera on her chest, and said solemnly: "I just took a job for a magazine and came to Huaxia to take pictures of some ancient buildings and go back to the errand to earn some tuition for the next semester."

The man smiled more kindly, and praised Gu Nianzhi: "Ambition! There are too few girls like you now. You can rely on your appearance for a living, but you have to compare your talents with others."

Gu Nianzhi touched his face, pretending not to understand, and pretending to be puzzled, he said: "...What do you mean by relying on your face? Can your face be eaten?"

"Ah? Hahahaha..." The man laughed out loud at Gu Nianzhi's words, shook his head and said, "No...your Chinese is really..."

Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng at this moment, and whispered, "Did I say something wrong?"

Huo Shaoheng also looked puzzled, and said: "...It should be right?"

The two of them looked like the kind of young Chinese who didn't know much about Chinese.

A few people were talking, and the young girl came back with a bag of Coke and some cold drinks.

She put these things in an ice box and brought them out, and said to Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng: "Our master doesn't eat these things, so we don't have any at home. I just bought them outside."

Gu Nianzhi took a can of Coke and quickly glanced at it. Seeing that there was no problem, he pulled off the cap and took a sip, and said with emotion: "How can there be no Coke? What would life be like without Coke?"

Huo Shaoheng also took a bottle of Coke, but didn't drink it. He put it on the tea table in front of him, nodded to the old man, and asked the young girl standing next to him: "Where is the bathroom, please? Can I borrow it?"

The young girl hurriedly said, "Come with me."

She took Huo Shaoheng to the bathroom, there were only Gu Nianzhi and the old man in the living room.

Gu Nianzhi stretched out her long legs and hummed an out-of-key English song, looking very relaxed.

The old man stared at her again, and said slowly, "What's your name? How old are you this year?"

Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "My name is Grace, I am eighteen years old, what's wrong?"

She intentionally said her age was two years younger, like a college student who just entered college.

When the man heard that Gu Nianzhi's English name was Grace, his pupils shrank suddenly, but he quickly recovered and said nonchalantly, "...you just said that you have to pay the tuition yourself when you go to university?"

"Yeah..." Gu Nianzhi frowned, and put the Coke on the coffee table, "My family has no money, and I haven't applied for a scholarship. Oh, you don't know, I'm too tired from working..."

The man smiled slowly, stretched out his hand, covered Gu Nianzhi's hand that he hadn't had time to withdraw, and said, "...you can ask someone to pay for you..."

"I looked for it, but I couldn't find it..." Gu Nianzhi withdrew his hand calmly, and smiled, "Where is such a good thing? Who will pay my tuition for no reason?"
