Chapter 131: See Cannes Again
Mother Jiang Xueling said her son was bragging, but Gu Wenxuan did not argue with her.
Not to mention that the Four Seas Gang didn't cause any waves in Gu Wenxuan's heart at all.
However, Jiang Xueling didn't want her son to go out and wander around again today. She was afraid that her son would cause trouble again. Her son was now working for the Japanese, and there must be many people who hated him.
Gu Wenxuan didn't bother his mother, he just stayed at home and practiced his cultivation skills.
For the first time, mother Jiang Xueling let Ikeda Sachiko live in her own yard. Ikeda Sachiko turned a disaster into a blessing and was very happy. She finally walked into the gate of the Gu family. Have her parents-in-law accepted her?
In Gu Wenxuan's heart, he still wanted to give some of his wealth to Ikeda in the future so that she could return to her country.
This was also an explanation to her. After all, this Ikeda was not his real wife, but his original spouse. He just had a brief affair with her by chance.
Gu Wenxuan didn't feel that he had done anything wrong to Ikeda. His virginity skills were ruined by her, so he felt a little wronged.
Gu Wenxuan spent three days quietly at home.
In a blink of an eye, it was the morning of the fourth day of the New Year.
Originally, Guwanxuan planned to spend the next few days at home before going to work officially.
But there was a special guest that day.
This person was none other than Secretary Kang Cheng, the secretary to the director of the Police Department.
It was a new thing for Secretary Kang Cheng to come to the Gu family to visit Gu Wenxuan.
Kang Cheng's secretary, Gu Wenxuan's mother also knew him and had sold calligraphy and paintings to her son once before.
"Ah, Secretary Kang, Happy New Year!"
Kang Cheng also brought a small gift and handed it to Gu Wenxuan's mother Jiang Xueling.
"Mrs. Gu! Happy New Year!"
Jiang Xueling accepted the gift and spoke very politely.
"Happy New Year, Secretary Kang!!"
"Madam Gu, don't you know that the young master is at home?"
Jiang Xueling didn't know why Kang Cheng wanted to see her son, but in her mind, Kang Cheng was still a relatively upright person, unlike those questionable people in society, so she didn't hide the fact that her son was at home from Secretary Kang.
"Oh, Secretary Kang is looking for my son. My son has been at home these days.
I didn't ask him to hang out. He is rarely at home throughout the year. He happened to be at home these few days. Secretary Kang wants to look for him?"
Secretary Kang nodded and said to Gu Wenxuan's mother Jiang Xueling a little embarrassedly:
"Madam Gu, I have something to discuss with your son. If it is convenient, please inform him!"
Jiang Xueling smiled and said:
"Secretary Kang Cheng is too polite. What's the point of informing or not informing? I'll let the maid take you to his courtyard in person.
You can talk there if you want, it's very quiet there, no one will disturb you!"
Kang Cheng quickly said thank you.
You should know that ordinary people in the inner courtyard will not let you in.
Those who can get in are usually very familiar friends or close friends.
Because most inner courtyards had families living there, it was still quite feudal at that time.
Jiang Xueling asked her little girl Hu Tou to take Kang Cheng to the small courtyard where Gu Wenxuan was resting.
In the small courtyard, Gu Wenxuan was teaching the two sisters of the Long family to practice the art of cultivating immortals.
In the eyes of others, their cultivation method may be just meditation and breathing, nothing special.
Ikeda was doing her handicraft nearby.
She also liked the twin sisters very much. She watched them practicing meditation in the same way.
Looking at their pretty looks, Ikeda also wanted to give birth to a boy or girl for Gu Wenxuan.
Then she wouldn't feel lonely when Gu Wenxuan was not at home.
At this time, the little girl shouted outside the door: "Master, there are guests outside!"
Ikeda heard that there was a visitor outside and hurried into her bedroom.
After all, at this time, women with a certain status still cannot meet guests from outside casually.
Gu Wenxuan walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw that it was Kang Cheng's secretary. He hadn't seen him for a long time.
In fact, this statement is not quite correct. He and Secretary Kang Cheng had only met once.
"Secretary Kang, please come in, please come in. You are so honored to visit my humble abode!"
Kang Cheng smiled, bowed, and followed Gu Wenxuan into their yard.
Gu Wenxuan brought Kang Cheng into their small living room.
Naturally, servants served tea.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Secretary Kang Cheng directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Wenxuan, I'll just tell you why I'm here. It's New Year's Day, and I shouldn't be saying these unlucky things!"
Gu Wenxuan's heart moved. Could it be that this Cannes secretary lost money again?
"Secretary Kang, just say whatever you want to say! Is there anything we can't talk about? As long as I can help, I won't push it away!"
Secretary Kang said awkwardly: "In fact, the most difficult thing in the world is money. As long as you have money, what can you do? The things that cannot be done are just because you don't have enough money!"
When Gu Wenxuan heard this, he realized it was about money again.
"My hometown is Henan. Recently, someone from my hometown told me that due to drought in the past two years, the land in my hometown has not yielded any crops, and there was a major flood last year!
Someone from my hometown came and asked me to take some money to support the people in my hometown, but you know that as a secretary, my salary is not that much.
Besides, I have a bad temper, I like gambling, and I also like to collect things, so I am often not financially well off.”
Gu Wenxuan nodded, knowing that this Cannes secretary liked to gamble, but he basically always lost.
He also liked to collect antiques, but antiques are a bottomless pit. No matter how much money you have, it can still make you feel stretched to the limit. Mr. Ma of later generations often said that he saw good things but had no money to buy them.
"So I have no choice but to exchange my ancestral jade pendant with Wenxuan for some money!"
After saying that, Kang Cheng took out a jade pendant that was three inches long and one inch thick from his arms.
This jade pendant looks very ancient and is made of mutton-fat white jade.
It is carved with a picture of immortals celebrating a birthday.
It looks like it's from the Han Dynasty and the craftsmanship is very exquisite.
Moreover, Gu Wenxuan also felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy from the jade pendant.
Gu Wenxuan was very surprised. No matter how ancient the jade pendants in this world were, there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on them. Unless the original owner was an immortal cultivator, they would be contaminated with this spiritual energy because of wearing them for a long time.
It turned out to be a jade pendant that had been played with by immortal cultivators. Of course Gu Wenxuan would keep it.
Although he is not lacking in spiritual energy now, it would be very easy for him to go back to the Moonlight Planet and ask his master for some spiritual stones.
However, this kind of old jade pendant with spiritual energy fluctuations is really rare on Earth. Besides, it is understandable for me to help Secretary Kang Cheng.
Although Secretary Kang Cheng is a high-ranking official, he still has a very noble character.
Especially since people are asking for money to go back for disaster relief, there's nothing wrong with just treating it as a good deed.
Gu Wenxuan took the white jade token, played with it in his hand, and then he asked.
"How much does Secretary Kang want to exchange for this jade pendant?"
Secretary Kang said a little embarrassedly:
“This jade pendant is an heirloom in our family, and I really don’t know its true value.
But in my opinion, if this jade pendant had not been passed down in my family, and I were to buy it on the market, I would think it would only be worth 3000 yuan!
Of course this is an heirloom from my family, and I have a sense of family ties. I think it's worth 5000 yuan, Wenxuan, what do you think?"
Gu Wenxuan knew that Secretary Kang Cheng did not make a random offer. This kind of jade pendant would definitely be worth 5,000 million in the future market.
However, in the chaotic times of the Republic of China, 5000 yuan was definitely worth it.
But there aren't many left for people to buy. If you're in a hurry to sell it, you'll probably only get 1500 yuan.
Gu Wenxuan said:
"If Secretary Kang said 5000 yuan, I don't think you would be able to do much when you go back home.
After all, in Henan, as soon as I heard that there was a flood after a severe drought, there were quite a few people affected.
I heard that millions of people were affected by the disaster. I'm afraid that the tens of millions of dollars you brought back would be a drop in the bucket, right?"
Secretary Kang Cheng sighed:
"Who says it's not true? Thousands of dollars in that place is probably just like the price of a bowl of plain noodles!"
Gu Wenxuan put away the jade pendant.
"Then Secretary Kang Cheng, I will give you this jade pendant for 5000 yuan, and I will give you another 5000 yuan as a small contribution to the disaster area!"
Kang Cheng was very moved after hearing this and stood up and covered Gu Wenxuan's hand.
"Wenxuan, you are such a good person. You know I want to go back to my hometown and raise some money for charity, but many people avoided me when they heard about it.
I know that you not only accepted this jade pendant from me, but also paid a high price for it.
Don't think I don't know the market price. I'm in a hurry to sell a jade pendant like this.
It's only over 1000 yuan at most. You paid me 5000 yuan to buy it, which is already a loss. You donated another 5000 yuan, which is a salvation for the people in the disaster area. On behalf of the people in the disaster area, I thank you!"
