Zhengyangmen: Don’t date Su Meng

Facing Li Chengtao's incredulous look, Cai Xiaoli did not hesitate at all and continued: "I know what you mean to me, and I am very grateful for your help to my family.

But I still say that I don’t like you.”

Without noticing Han Chunming behind her, Cai Xiaoli stared at Li Chengtao and spoke word by word.

"I think you understand that I don't like you, but I am grateful to you.

I might as well make it clear to you today. I wanted to like you before, but failed. I still don't have the slightest attraction to you and don't want to be with you.

We are still friends. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back the money I owe your family.

When I have money in the future, I will definitely return it to you without a penny less."

Han Chunming sighed when he heard this and walked away silently.

Although he had prejudice against Cai Xiaoli before, this time he thought that she was right.

If you like it, you like it. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Although saying it directly may hurt people, it is the right way.

No procrastination and no flirting.

This is what women of the new era should do.

Not long after, Li Chengtao walked up to him with a dejected look on his face and remained silent.

Han Chunming didn't think of comforting him, but said:

"Go to the old man's place after get off work. I'll have a drink with you tonight."

"Yeah." Li Chengtao nodded.

Having a drink with you is the best comfort between men.

Before leaving get off work, Han Chunming and Li Chengtao completed all the formalities, said goodbye to the workers and Director Zhou, and left first.

After showing my resignation letter to the janitor, I received a reply: Come back and visit me when you have time.

Yes, before he knew it, he had been working in the food factory for two years.

How many two years will there be in life?

'Goodbye.'

Looking back at the gate, he could still vaguely see Director Zhou and his colleagues, and he waved.

"Let's go, let's have a good drink tonight."

The two drove forward side by side.

As the sun sets, the afterglow lengthens the figures of the two people, as if they were a black line between the earth and the sky.

The cold wind howled like a sharp blade, cutting the air violently.

However, they seemed unaware of the cold.

In the setting sun and cold wind, their figures seem so small, yet so determined, moving forward straight.

The scenery along the way is still charming.

…………

Han's mother had no objection to her son's decision. He thought that if he wanted to resign, he should resign. Anyway, her son was admitted to university, and there would be no difference between resigning in two months and now.

A salary of more than 60 yuan was nothing in Han's mother's eyes at this time.

The son has the final say.

After saying that he would have dinner at his master's house in the evening, Han Chunming hurried out of the house.

Li Chengtao had already bought wine and various snacks, and had started a competition with the old man.

Mr. Guan likes to drink slowly, listen to the radio, chat, and slowly taste the wine, which is also the joy of life.

But Li Chengtao is different.

Having failed in love, what he needs today is a hangover to make him forget everything.

Even though the old man advised him to drink slowly, he still drank cup after cup of liquor and was almost ready to drink from a bottle.

Han Chunming didn't intend to stop him and let him drink as much as he wanted.

Not long after, Li Chengtao was drunk by himself.

Han Chunming helped him to his room and let him have a good rest, while he continued to chat with the old man.

The old man saw things very clearly. He didn't ask too many questions, didn't say too much, didn't delve into details, and was extremely open-minded.

Han Chunming had no habit of talking about people behind their backs, so the two of them discussed their knowledge and experiences about antiques.

…………

It was already bright outside and Li Chengtao was awakened by the glaring sunlight. He felt a splitting headache, dry mouth and his throat was almost smoking.

He got out of bed, scooped a bucket of cold water from the bucket and poured it directly into his stomach.

Hiss, the icy cold water immediately made him feel much more energetic.

After drinking many gulps, Li Chengtao put down the water scoop, put on his coat and went out, subconsciously covering his eyes.

Well, there is plenty of sunlight.

Walking into the north room, Han Chunming and Grandpa Guan were identifying a few copper coins. When they saw him, they smiled and joked:

"You're awake, good. I thought you were in love and had to lie down for the whole day."

Li Chengtao felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and he greeted the two of them politely.

"There is hot water there. Wash up first. It's almost noon. Come to my house for lunch first. We'll set off again in the afternoon."

Li Chengtao naturally had no objection and went to wash up obediently.

Han Chunming withdrew his gaze again.

"Master, you are fooling me. I have collected five sets of the Small Five Emperors' Coins, but to be honest, I haven't collected all the Big Five Emperors' Coins, especially the first two. I have never seen the real thing.

Do you have any? If so, please let me open my eyes!"

The so-called Five Emperors’ Coins are five round copper coins with square holes. They symbolize the outside is round and the inside is square, and the unity of man and nature. Combined with the ancient theories of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, they have a very high status in traditional culture.

As for the Five Emperors, there are more different opinions.

At first, it referred to the five heavenly emperors of the east, south, west, north and center, who were the five gods of the five directions, and were assigned the five colors and five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, white, green, black, red and yellow.

After the evolution of history, the Emperor of Heaven gradually evolved into the Emperor.

Five emperors with great reputation in history.

People call the copper coins issued during the periods of these five emperors in history the "Great Five Emperors' Coins".

They are the Banliang coins made in the Qin Dynasty, the Wuzhu coins of the Han Dynasty, the Kaiyuan Tongbao coins of the Tang Dynasty, the Songyuan Tongbao coins of the Song Dynasty and the Yongle Tongbao coins of the Ming Dynasty.

"You are talking about the Banliang and Wuzhu coins, right? They are indeed rare and seldom circulate in the market. Even if they are available, they will be quickly bought by collectors.

You have to know that the Five Emperors' Coins are the best thing to protect your house, and many people cannot get them.

Especially the rich and powerful, they have no place to buy even if they have money.”

Mr. Guan said slowly.

Han Chunming naturally understood that the Big Five Emperors' Coins were very precious and many people could not get them, so they could only make do with the Small Five Emperors' Coins.

The so-called Small Five Emperors’ Coins are copper coins minted by the five emperors of the Qing Dynasty, namely: Shunzhi Tong Bao, Kangxi Tong Bao, Yongzheng Tong Bao, Qianlong Tong Bao and Jiaqing Tong Bao.

The period during which these five emperors ruled was characterized by political stability, economic prosperity, rapid population growth, and a vast territory. It is known as the Kangxi and Qianlong Periods of Prosperity, and was the last prosperous period of the feudal dynasty.

Therefore, the Small Five Emperors' Coins also symbolize perfect harmony, smoothness and auspiciousness, and are quite popular among people.

But compared to the Big Five Emperors' Coins, the Small Five Emperors' Coins are still easy to collect. Except for one or two copper coins which are more precious, the rest are very common.

Therefore, Han Chunming was particularly curious about the Five Emperors' Coins and wanted to see them for himself.

Facing the burning gaze of his apprentice, Master Guan was helpless, but finally said:

"Go, under the bed in the east room, in five boxes, one in each box."

Han Chunming went to get it immediately.
