Chapter 5 Chapter Four

In character, Zhao Hongyu doesn't look like a woman at all. She is cheerful, straightforward, self-willed and strong. The only people she doesn't contradict are Shao Kuancheng's parents. To Shao Kuancheng, Zhao Hongyu asked herself to let him go. She didn't want Shao Kuancheng to be a doormat. There are many men who are interested in Zhao Hongyu, and there are also many men who give up after one or two trials.Shao Kuancheng knew that Zhao Hongyu had a tough personality, and there were very few people who really dared to stalk him, so Shao Kuancheng was not anxious when a man called Zhao Hongyu, and he even helped her answer the phone, like a secretary: "Hongyu, looking for you Yes, a man, I don't know."

The man who called Zhao Hongyu at dinner that day didn't even know Zhao Hongyu very well, and it took him a long time to remember who it was: "Ah, it's you, I remembered, what can I do for you?" The man on the phone replied that there was nothing wrong, and that he found her number in the phone book, so he called to say hello.Zhao Hongyu socialized casually: "Oh, I didn't thank you for that last time. Are you busy now?" The man said: "It's okay. Recently, I rented a small yard in the countryside and planned to open a brick-burning factory. I was so disgraceful running around with people and equipment all day long." The man asked Hong Yu again: "Are you busy, not busy Take time to meet up."

Zhao Hongyu asked: "Oh, what's the matter?" The man replied: "It's nothing, just get together and chat." Zhao Hongyu said: "Okay, wait until you are free." As usual, Shao Kuancheng would not ask about calls from men, but his parents usually turned their attention to Hong Yu.Hong Yu will continue to tell the truth as always: "A man surnamed Yang, I met at my father's house. Ask me out." As usual, Shao Kuancheng's father did not comment, but Shao Kuancheng's mother would usually ask, "Oh, do you have an appointment?" Whenever this happens, Shao Kuancheng will change the subject. He doesn't like his mother asking the bottom line like this.He said to Hong Yu: "Tomorrow I will go to Chang'an to make a map of the location of 'Tomb No. 9'. If you are free, can you go with me?"

The next day was sunny and thin, and the sky was surprisingly blue.Zhao Hongyu and Shao Kuancheng set off early, drove out of the city, and headed for Chang'an. From the inner city of Xijing to the ancient town of Chang'an, along the hundreds of miles, there are mostly wilderness and wilderness, with a wide view and high sky and clear clouds.Shao Kuancheng was in a good mood, so he talked a lot in a rare way. He mentioned Professor Wan again, and he was a bit silly of "looking for a model for nothing". "Didn't your father care about your future marriage?" "No," Zhao Hongyu said, "I don't care that much about you."

Shao Kuancheng asked again, "You really don't want to live at your father's house." Seeing that Hong Yu didn't answer, he asked again, "You really don't want to get married?" Hong Yu didn't answer.Shao Kuancheng continued endlessly: "It's not good for a woman to have children if she gets married too late." "Give birth to your sister! Is it okay for me to pretend to be dead! I won't get married and have children, okay?" Shao Kuancheng was so choked that he had no choice but to show weakness and return to the original topic: "I also hope that you can live in our small courtyard for a lifetime. But you are a person who loves fantasy, and it is difficult for you to realize your dreams in that small courtyard." Fantasy. But in your father's house, your fantasy is easy to realize."

"Ou Maiga! Why do I love fantasy so much? Can I just lie down and pretend to be dead!" Shao Kuancheng said: "Didn't your father say that he would arrange for you to study in the United States? Didn't you always fantasize about studying abroad? Am I wrong?" Zhao Hongyu said: "Studying abroad is a fantasy, and going abroad is a fantasy? What era is it, can you do it? If you are so obsessed with one place and have no ambitions, you might as well pretend to be dead!" Human beings can no longer stop Hong Yu from getting angry at every turn, Shao Kuancheng hurriedly avoided his sharp edge, shut up and dodged.

So, there was nothing to say along the way, and Chang'an was in sight. Chang'an is too old. From a distance, the wilderness is boundless and desolate.It's hard to imagine thousands of years ago when there were crowds of people, flags were flying, and the city was bustling... They parked their car on the side of a mound. Shao Kuancheng had been here a few nights ago, and a battle had taken place there that night.In that battle, nine people were captured alive without bloodshed, which was enough to be one of Shao Kuancheng's experiences to show off in his short police service.

Zhao Hongyu had never been here before, but the appearance was as rumored, and she immediately guessed that this unremarkable mound was "Tomb No. 9".After getting off the car, Shao Kuancheng chose a location and began to take pictures of "Tomb No. 9".Zhao Hongyu spread out the drawing paper and began to draw the orientation map.Drawing is a compulsory course in the Police Academy, and Zhao Hongyu is quite handy in doing it—the broken ridge on the left, the dry river on the right, the dirt road behind, the hills in front, and the ruined walls of the barren village farther away... Gradually fell on the paper , at a glance.

Shao Kuancheng looks forward with the camera, and the main background of "Tomb No. 9" is the solemn hill on the horizon.It might also be a burial mound.There are many hills in Chang'an, and it is hard to tell which hill is under the underground palace that has been buried for thousands of years. Shao Kuancheng pressed the shutter, and at the same time picked a light-hearted topic: "Hey, let me ask weakly, if you come to help me make pictures today, are you standing on the last post?" Zhao Hongyu pursed her lips in disdain: "Cut! I don't even agree to leave a police badge as a souvenir. I am the last post! I am no longer your policeman!"

Seeing that Shao Kuancheng couldn't answer, Hong Yu smiled and said, "I'm a volunteer protecting cultural relics today." The azimuth map has almost been finalized, and "Tomb No. 9" has been marked with a red pen and is located in the center of the whole map.Above it, at the edge of the drawing, there is a huge circle—the hill is outlined with a thick black pen, which looks aggressive.From the instant feeling of looking at the picture, Shao Kuancheng naively felt that if "Tomb No. 9" is really an accompanying tomb, then it is most likely to be accompanied by the hill in the distance.Could that hill be the legendary Jingling?

Shao Kuancheng checked the Internet that night, and there was indeed a Jingling Mausoleum on the Internet, and the relevant records were similar to what Director Liu of the Provincial Museum said.The woman that Shao Kuancheng has been paying attention to and researching since then is the Wu family, the owner of Jingling. According to historical records, the Wu family in Jingling Mausoleum was originally Wu Zetian's grandniece, and was adopted by Wu Zetian in the palace since she was a child.After Wu Zetian's death, the Wu family was purged and demoted. The Wu family was not as weak as the crown, and could not be spared. Their royal status was abolished and they were reduced to court ladies.Shao Kuancheng thought that the history of China is basically a history of men, but women are the introduction and mirror of men.Therefore, women are also the introduction and mirror of Chinese history. Many things happen and result because of women; Shao Kuancheng could tell that Zhao Hongyu seemed to be very happy these few days, the nostalgia he had when he just took off the police uniform, soon faded, and soon fell in love with someone.Although she also helped Shao Kuancheng draw maps in the hilly wilderness, and even though she sometimes went to the police force to press for procedures, her state had completely relaxed, and she was not like a criminal policeman at all, even her father could tell. Shao Kuancheng also understood that Zhao Hongyu's police service was only one year after all, and he didn't have much affection for the first team of criminal investigation, the general team of criminal investigation, or even the profession of criminal police.Freed from the constraints of a professional atmosphere, Zhao Hongyu's behavior and daily life have changed a lot.For example, I love makeup very much, and the makeup is heavier than before.For another example, you can sleep until noon and surf the Internet all night.The Internet is basically playing games, listening to music, watching Gongdou dramas, and only occasionally looking up information related to management.The waiting before enrolling in school is leisurely and indulgent, and there may be only two people who can make her think about it—the father she just met and Shao Kuancheng who has been with her for many years. When people are free, their minds become very careful. It seems that Zhao Hongyu has observed her neighbor so carefully for the first time.She likes to sit at the dining table and watch how he eats. Shao Kuancheng eats with a bowl and uses chopsticks to hold the rice and deliver it to his mouth one at a time. One bite of rice and one bite of food, chewing slowly, calmly and regularly.When chewing, her mouth is closed and she doesn't make a sound, unlike Zhao Hongyu who is holding a bowl and eating rice with big mouthfuls. She also likes to sit in the passenger seat of the car and watch him drive. Shao Kuancheng drives completely. Without talent and courage, with a strict eye, it's a bit of a grind.But it’s okay, it’s safe, and it’s law-abiding; when she surfs the Internet, she likes to tilt her head and watch him learning English while wearing headphones, watching him concentrating on chanting words... The teachers at the school and the head of the unit say that Shao Kuancheng can make up for his weakness with diligence, which means He lacks talent and has more than enough strength. In fact, it is quite detrimental.But Zhao Hongyu thinks about it carefully, and thinks that it is not a bad thing for men to be less intelligent. Intelligent people often do not follow the rules and are often misled by their cleverness.It is better to find a boyfriend who is honest and sincere. Such a man is down-to-earth, loyal and trustworthy.Although Shao Kuancheng is also pursued by many girls, those who are infatuated with handsome boys like him are basically uneducated little girls under the age of twenty.Those "wide fans" on his Weibo are all star fans, they are very dirty, so there is nothing to worry about.Because she knew that Shao Kuancheng had no interest in that kind of adolescent girl.What Shao Kuancheng likes is the kind of woman who has knowledge and ability. Only stronger women can attract him and give him the passion and motivation to possess. Zhao Hongyu wondered more and more: Am I strong enough?Am I this kind of woman? During this idle time, Zhao Hongyu surfed the Internet every day, more or less by accident, she became obsessed with the constellation website.She checked Shao Kuancheng's constellation first.People born in November are Scorpio.Scorpio is introverted and mysterious, sexy and persistent.Most importantly, Scorpio is the most affectionate and dedicated constellation among all the constellations. They are not careless, not curious, and are used to life that goes round and round.This is very good, very much in line with Zhao Hongyu's wishes.Looking at herself, she was born in April as an Aries, impulsive, passionate, face-saving, and talented, but everything is difficult to last, and she is hot for three minutes.She thought about it, and it was accurate. It is easy for people who are exposed to astrology for the first time to believe this set, not to mention that Aries is still credulous.So when Zhao Hongyu found out that Scorpio ranks first among the zodiac signs that are most compatible with Aries, she felt great satisfaction and pride in her heart. So Zhao Hongyu's interest in constellations swelled to the point of explosion in the past few days. Whenever he saw someone, he would ask you when you were born, and then check the corresponding personality online.That Yang Qie was also a Scorpio, which made Zhao Hongyu wonder if all Scorpios love Aries?Yang Qie called her twice and sent seven or eight text messages to her, some asking her out for dinner, and some simply greeting her.Some of Zhao Hongyu replied and some did not.Yang Jiao is that kind of man, with stern and mature brows and domineering eyes. This type of man is lethal to most women.This type of Zhao Hongyu also appreciates, but it's just appreciation, so stay away from it.From this point of view, she is not like Aries, she will not be impulsive due to appreciation.Since she loved Shao Kuancheng, no one else could love her anymore.What's more, Shao Kuancheng's family has taken care of her for many years, and it is almost a kinship relationship that depends on each other.Although she and Shao Kuancheng didn't have posts or ceremonies, they were already engaged in mutual understanding.She is well aware of Shao Kuancheng's shortcomings and deficiencies, she has no unknown curiosity and excitement about him, and naturally there is no unknown risk and impermanence.That's fine. Getting to know someone is hard.What she wants to know most this time is her father. Father is a Capricorn! Capricorn is the most rational constellation, and reason is definitely greater than emotion.Capricorns have high ambitions, disdain small details, and are relatively indifferent to their children's affection.The description of Capricorn on the Internet seems to be inconsistent with Zhao Hongyu's impression of his father, and some are even the opposite of the impression.In those few days, her father called her almost every day, and even visited Shao's small courtyard in person, and brought Xiao Liu, the nanny, to help Hong Yu pack her luggage, and asked Hong Yu to go home with him. "Your room has been tidied up for you. You can just bring the clothes you like, and put the clothes you don't like here. I will accompany you to buy them for the next two days. Do you still have books? Want to bring them?" If it’s up, let Xiao Liu clean it up for you.” Judging from this attitude, my father still cares about feelings.If he chose rationally alone, his father could not look for her at all, but he found her and sincerely hoped that she would come home.The father told her that he had contacted his American friend, Mr. Mike, and offered to help.Mr. Mike is a trustee of the University of Chicago. He can recommend Zhao Hongyu to directly enter the University of Chicago to study for a master's degree based on her results in the postgraduate entrance examination in China. "No problem, my father helped Mike a lot in building the Oriental Art Palace in Bhutan. As long as I ask, Mr. Mike will definitely help." My father said: "I hope you choose a major in asset management, and you learn it well. In the future, Dad can hand over all the assets to you to manage." Her father's attitude is sincere. These days, her father cares about her life, arranges her studies, and plans for the future.She thought, as a Capricorn father, it is already very difficult.She was moved in her heart, although she seemed unmoved in her actions. She said to her father: "I am used to living alone, and I like living in this small courtyard." The days of waiting for school to start are idle and comfortable, and this pace of life is enjoyable.But, also a little lonely. Zhao Hongyu couldn't bear loneliness, and she began to realize how important Shao Kuancheng was to her.Her happiest moment every day is when Shao Kuancheng comes back from get off work.During that week, Shao Kuancheng got off work very late every day, so she skipped dinner every day, and waited until Shao Kuancheng came home to have supper with him.During the whole day, when Shao Kuancheng was away, whether she was shopping or spending time in front of the computer, she was a little absent-minded.That week, the Criminal Investigation Team 1 was involved in several major cases at the same time. Captain Li Jin focused on the “Tomb No. so late.In those two days, the team announced that Shao Kuancheng would be Li Jin's secretary, so as long as Li Jin didn't leave, Shao Kuancheng wouldn't be able to get off work.He is also responsible for answering the reports from various external reconnaissance teams at any time, which suspects have gone, where they met, who is suspicious, and so on, so that they can be analyzed and judged by the leaders in time. What has made progress is the line of Xijing native Guo Debao. One night, outside investigators discovered that Guo Debao met a man in a secluded private restaurant in Xijing, and the two murmured together late into the night in a private room.When they came out, outside investigators took pictures of their breakup in the parking lot, and after analyzing them, they found that the person who met with Secretary Guo turned out to be Lin Tao, a very popular antique dealer in Xijing.As early as three years ago, in another cultural relic case investigated by the Corps, the special case team had suspected Lin Tao, so after this outside report was reported to the Corps, the Corps immediately approved the inclusion of Lin Tao in the surveillance of the "Tomb No. 9" robbery. That day Li Jin was studying the next reconnaissance plan in the captain's office until midnight, while Shao Kuancheng waited in the office and did not dare to leave work.When he got home, his parents were already asleep, and he heated up the leftovers for himself. Zhao Hongyu came over before the heat was finished, sat at the dining table and chatted with him, telling him about her father's coming to find her, and what his father had given her. She made a phone call, but she didn't say anything about Yang Jiao sending him a message. Shao Kuancheng pretended to be generous and said, "Then why don't you go with your dad? Is your dad angry if you don't go?" Zhao Hongyu still said the same thing: "In the wealthy family, there are intrigues, I can't go out of the wolf's den, and go back into the tiger's den." Shao Kuancheng was stunned: "What the hell, where is the wolf's den? Besides, even if your father has some money, there are only two or three people in the family. How can there be so many intrigues? You are too poisoned by watching Gongdouju." Zhao Hongyu said with a smile: "The girl in their family is just like a character in Gongdou drama, her face is full of drama! Acting very ruthlessly!" Shao Kuancheng also laughed and said, "That's right, stepmothers are not easy to get along with, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!" Zhao Hongyu laughed again: "Unless there is one male and one female!" The two of them were chatting like this, and they were not sleepy.The next day, Shao Kuancheng got up early as usual, and when he left home, Zhao Hongyu opened the door to show his face, and said sleepily, Kuancheng, wait a minute, I will go with you.She went back to the room, washed her face, brushed her teeth and ran out again in less than three minutes, without any makeup on her face. After getting into the car, Shao Kuancheng asked, "Are you going to the team too?" Zhao Hongyu said: "I'll go with you, it's too boring to stay at home." Then said: "I'll go to the personnel department and ask if my file has been transferred." So we went on the road together, and chatted on the road.Zhao Hongyu was eloquent, and Shao Kuancheng listened quietly. Whenever the two chatted, the division of labor was roughly the same. When they got to the team, the two broke up. Zhao Hongyu went to the personnel department to ask her about transferring files. When she met a half-acquainted colleague, she asked her: "Hey, didn't you go to school? Why haven't you left yet?"She said: I haven't finished the formalities yet.Colleagues asked: Will you come back after studying?Zhao Hongyu smiled and replied: Maybe, I don’t know. Coming out of the personnel department, Zhao Hongyu called Shao Kuancheng, intending to drive his car to go shopping, but when the phone didn't connect, she heard someone calling her from the building, asking her to go to the chief's office.She knocked on the captain's door only to find that Shao Kuancheng and Li Jin, the captain of the first team, were there. Shao Kuancheng glanced at her with a strange look in his eyes. Although she was wearing trendy clothes that day, she still habitually raised her hand to salute the captain and Li Jin.Li Jin didn't speak, but the captain's voice was as loud as a bell. "Zhao Hongyu, I'm looking for you today because I have an important task, and you happen to have this condition." Zhao Hongyu was a little stunned, she didn't know why, she took a look at Shao Kuancheng first, and then answered in a daze: "Mission, me?"
