Winter has already appeared in front of my eyes, the sky has turned from cold to cold, and the temperature has dropped to below zero, ※※
Every morning, the walls and trees will be covered with thin white frost; there are more and more thick foggy weather, and many times it is no longer convenient to travel. So Xu Zhengyang spent 200,000 to buy it near the antique market
A second-hand house with two bedrooms and one living room of more than 80 square meters, I lived in Chenghe City most of the time.
Chen Chaojiang naturally lived with him in Haihe City.
What just made Xu Zhengyang a little annoyed and helpless was that after living with Xu Zhengyang in Zehe City, this seemingly thin and strong man carried out his duties as a bodyguard more thoroughly. He was so conscientious that he had to go there every morning before dawn.
When running or boxing, Xu Zhengyang should be pulled out of the hot bed and go out for a run to exercise together. The reason is simple: "I have to protect you. This is Zehe City, not our village, not your home, so
Can’t be too far away from you.”
Xu Zhengyang was furious: "When I get a wife, will you have to hide outside the door every day and listen to the house?"
"That will happen in the future. You haven't married yet." Chen Chaojiang said matter-of-factly.
"I dont go,"
Chen Chaojiang said coldly: "I can't go, because I want to go."
"Then don't be cruel, because I won't go." Xu Zhengyang glared.
"no
"Fuck, I'm the boss!" Xu Zhengyang said angrily: "A thousand dollars can't buy a good night's sleep, do you know that? Be careful, I will deduct your salary!"
Chen Chaojiang said: "My job is to protect you. If I don't exercise, my physical fitness will decline. In that case, I am not qualified to do this job, and you don't need to deduct my salary."
"I told you when I hired you, I didn't ask you to be a bodyguard, but to look after the store!"
"But the reason why I asked you to raise my salary later was because I thought I was worth five thousand yuan as a bodyguard." Chen Chaojiang said very seriously. "For a job worth five thousand yuan, I should be a bodyguard."
Xu Zhengyang said shamelessly: "Then I will fire you from your position as a bodyguard now and lower your work status."
"You will not."
"Why?"
"You and I are brothers."
Xu Zhengyang was defeated,
So in this early winter day, every morning in Zeyang Park, Fuxing District, Zehe City, there would be two thin young people running several laps around the rockery and small lake in the park. What caught people's attention was that
, one of them has a fair to pale complexion, and always carries a large, bulging backpack on his body; the other is not so fair, and to give some face, his complexion is very "healthy."
It was when he started morning exercises with Chen Chaojiang that Xu Zhengyang finally discovered that Chen Chaojiang's perversion had reached a shocking level. When this guy was boxing after running, he would use a big tree as a target, use his bare hands to punch, kick and hit with his body.
, I really don’t know what the skin of this macho man is made of, and why he doesn’t have scratches on his hands and body. At the park management office, Chen Chaojiang was fined 5,000 yuan for beating the skin of an ancient tree to raw flesh.
Later, Xu Zhengyang had to buy a set of leather targets for fitness. He asked Chen Chaojiang to carry them with him every day. When he got to the park, he tied them to a big tree and let him go crazy. Well, one set every seven days, and a set costs 280,
Chen Chaojiang insisted on spending his own money, but Xu Zhengyang had already made plans to give him more bonuses at the end of the month.
Habits became natural, and soon Xu Zhengyang no longer needed to be pulled out of bed by Chen Chaojiang every morning. He would wake up from a sweet sleep at around five o'clock every morning.
Maybe this habit thing applies to everyone?
Ever since Li Bingjie got a jade bracelet worth 120,000 yuan in Guxiangxuan on her birthday, which made Xu Zhengyang feel pain for a long time, and she left the words "I will come again", then she really said it.
I'll come again if I have the letter. Well, I basically come every day, except when there is heavy fog. However, Li Bingjie doesn't stay in Guxiangxuan for a long time every day, and she is extremely precise. She arrives on time at nine o'clock, with a cold and indifferent silence.
Sit quietly for half an hour, read a book, occasionally listen to Xu Zhengyang's nonsense, and then leave.
In response to this, Xu Zhengyang was not as arrogant as if he was opposed to morning exercises from the beginning, but instead expressed his welcome by focusing on sex over friends.
Well, I can't say I like it, nor can I say I'm bored.
Just this kind of light and indifferent feeling.
The things that made Yao Chushun worried about Zhong Zhong did not happen. Although there was still no verbal communication between Li Chengzhong and Chen Chaojiang, they still had a cold look when facing each other, but fortunately, they were no longer as cold as they were at the beginning.
A strong sense of hostility and vigilance.
Yao Chushun has been busy these days with the matter of Panxia Tianbaozhai and expanding the business scale of Guxiangxuan. He manages the business from top to bottom and uses contacts to get information.
Xu Zhengyang was too lazy to take care of these matters. When Yao Chushun discussed with him, he would nod in most cases and agree with Yao Chushun's opinions. This made Yao Chushun very depressed, but he was also happy in his heart.
, and at the same time, I admire and respect Xu Zhengyang more and more. Is it possible that such a long-lasting friend can trust him so much?
It is said that on the morning when the first snow of this winter finally belatedly fell on the world, covering everything in the world with white gauze, and then slowly thickened, Li Bingjie did not come to Guxiangxuan on time at nine o'clock as usual.
It was almost ten o'clock, just like the snow this winter, it was late.
As usual, the two of them were sitting quietly in the hall next to the round table. Looking at Xu Zhengyang from the sidelines, he was holding a copy of "The Diary of the Gods", while Li Bingjie was holding a book in her hand.
This "Zizhi Tongjian". Of course, these books are Xu Zhengyang's personal belongings.
Xu Zhengyang has never given up on the knowledge about ghosts and gods, and has been reading such books. He originally wanted to go to the underworld early to have a look. But considering that it consumes a lot of divine power, and he still doesn’t know how much it will cost.
Divine power, so he put it off again and again, quietly waiting for him to be promoted to chief judge before going down to the underworld for a tour. He didn't want to go down now, what if he didn't have enough supernatural power and couldn't come back?
What makes him a little anxious and worried is that after such a long time, why has he not become a full-time official? This is very different from the speed at which he rose like a rocket before. It has been more than two months since he became the interim chief judge.
Yes.
Yao Chushun was sitting behind the counter, holding a clay pot from the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties in his hand, admiring and studying it. Jin Qiming took leave two days ago. His parents missed him, so they went back to stay for a while. In addition,
When he went back this time, he wanted to help Yao Chushun send a message to Jin Changfa. Yao Chushun was already determined to win Tianbaozhai and was full of confidence. The bigger the store, the more people who needed it, and Jin Changfa would definitely be the one.
The first choice person to be a shopkeeper...
Li Chengzhong was sitting on a chair by the door, admiring the falling snow outside through the glass door; while Chen Chaojiang was sitting in a corner of the hall near the counter, quietly carving his puppets. But now he was carving with
The wood has been replaced by Yao Chushun into mahogany. According to Yao Chushun, this will not be wasted at all, because the puppets carved by Chen Chaojiang can already be placed on the counter and sold as handicrafts, and there will be no loss.
The price of mahogany is expensive. Chen Chaojiang has an indifferent attitude towards this. What he pays attention to is the process of carving, not the result of carving.
Probably because of the snowy weather, there were few people in the market, and few people came to the store to buy antiques.
So it was deserted and quiet inside.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is really strange. After all, there are five large living people sitting in the store, but not one of them even speaks.
The ringtone of the mobile phone broke the silence in Guxiangxuan store. Yao Chushun took out his mobile phone from his pocket and checked the call. Then he seemed to be afraid of disturbing other people in the house, so he got up and walked to the second floor.
After a while, Yao Chushun came downstairs with a smile on his face and a pair of triangular eyes that shone brightly. He said with a smile: "What a bastard, he finally got it."
"What?" Xu Zhengyang raised his head and looked at Yao Chushun.
"Hey, Tianbaozhai, we've got Tianbaozhai!" Yao Chushun said excitedly: "In the future, the sign of Tianbaozhai will be changed to Guxiangxuan."
Xu Zhengyang smiled and said: "Well, it's a good thing. We will have to celebrate it well then."
"Congratulations first.
"Li Chengzhong turned his head and said with a smile.
"Thank you very much." Yao Chushun raised his hands and said, "When it opens, it will definitely be more prosperous. Then you and Bing Jie must come to support it."
Li Chengzhong nodded and said: "Definitely."
Li Bingjie looked up at Xu Zhengyang and said softly: "I will come."
Xu Zhengyang was slightly surprised, then smiled and hummed.
"Zhengyang, come here for a moment. I have something to discuss with you." Yao Chushun was talking and he was already walking to the second floor.
Xu Zhengyang nodded, got up and walked towards the stairs.
When he came to the small living room on the second floor and sat next to the round table, Yao Chushun held his cigarette holder in his mouth and said, "This time, we need 4.76 million for Tianbaozhai."
"What? The store doesn't have enough money?" Xu Zhengyang said with a smile.
"Nonsense, where does the store have so much money? It's not like you don't know that the store has recently collected a lot of antiques, and the store cannot be without liquid funds." Yao Chushun curled his lips and said: "
How much money do you have on hand? Use it first. If it's not enough, I'll borrow some from Zheng Ronghua."
Xu Zhengyang thought for a while and said, "Well, last time I took another 1.5 million from the store, and now I still have more than 1 million on hand."
"Well, let's use it first. I don't have any money. Alas." Yao Chushun sighed, then smiled and said, "When we move to the new store, we will sell some of the antiques we have recently prepared. Basically
You can get your money back,”
This is true. Yao Chushun had already started preparing for the new store early, so he bought a lot of antiques such as porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting from outside at any cost, in order to enrich the newly opened store in the future. There is no other way.
The thing is, most of the antiques confiscated from Tianbaozhai will not be auctioned to the outside world, but will be put into the collection of the National Cultural Relics Museum.
Xu Zhengyang didn't care about this, since the money wouldn't be wasted anyway. A few days ago, he and Chen Chaojiang went out in the middle of the night and dug up more than 20 treasures, just for the sake of the new store.
After a moment of silence, Yao Chushun suddenly sighed and said softly, somewhat sadly: "Tianbaozhai is gone."
Xu Zhengyang nodded and said nothing. He knew that Yao Chushun was a little reluctant to give up. After all, he founded Tianbaozhai alone.
