Entering the villa with her mobile phone, her niece rushed into her arms to complain. Zhuang Rui saw that the elder sister was struggling with the manual of her Passat. Seeing Zhuang Rui come in, he just raised his head and said hello.
.
"Well, you don't need to pay attention to her. Be good and go and play with grandma."
Zhuang Rui was originally going to coax his niece, but at this moment the phone call was connected, and he quickly walked out of the door with his cell phone.
"Boy, I made a lot of money from Pingzhou and ran away. I didn't know how to say hello to your old master. I took care of you for nothing..."
The old man's hearty voice came from the phone, but the words were mostly joking, but he was not really angry.
"Hey, uncle, didn't you leave early? Besides, that piece of wool was taken by me and Brother Song together, not by myself."
After Zhuang Rui had dealt with the old man several times, he knew that this uncle was informal, so he spoke more relaxedly.
"Well, uncle, I'm not against you gambling on stones, but from now on you have to act according to your ability. There are many people who have ruined their families by gambling on stones. You are still young, so you have to know how to make a steady flow."
Mr. Gu really cares for Zhuang Rui and treats him as his nephew. If it were another person, he would never say such a thing. Talking superficially but talking deeply would annoy people.
"Thank you for your teaching, uncle. I will remember it. By the way, uncle, are you in the capital during this time? I was just thinking about going to see you." Zhuang Rui took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
, these words are really a bit false.
"Come to see me? You must have something else to do, right? Stop looking at me and talk about something if you have something to say..."
Who is Mr. Gu? He still couldn't understand the meaning of Zhuang Rui's words, so he started laughing and cursing on the phone.
"Then let me tell you straight, uncle, I also bought a batch of black sand materials from Ma Meng Factory in Pingzhou. I have nothing to do today to cut and play, and I found a nice piece of jade. I just want to give it to my mother.
If you carve a pendant, won't it trouble you? I can't trust others."
When Zhuang Rui spoke, he was a little cautious. He didn't dare to say that he only bought five pieces of black black sand material. He deliberately said that he bought a batch. He was sure that the old man would not investigate such trivial matters.
The old man laughed on the other end of the phone and said, "Don't stop wearing your hat on me. I can tell you that I haven't cut jade for more than a year. Tell me, what kind of material is it? I use ordinary materials."
But I won’t take action.”
"Hehe, if it were ordinary goods, I wouldn't dare to come to you, uncle, guess what..." Zhuang Rui heard that the old man was in a good mood, and he actually started to sell it.
"You brat, you've even passed the junior college examination. The Ma Meng factory is made of black sand jade and black leather, with black silk and black ground and white mist. It's good to plant water in colored places, but the green is very concentrated. I often hear that there are
Here comes the emerald.”
When the old man said this, he seemed to think of something, and his voice suddenly rose an octave: "Zhuang Rui, you can't solve the imperial green, can you? Come on, what is the water head?"
Zhuang Rui was on the other end of the phone, and he was in admiration. The old man didn't see anything, but he guessed it from just the three words "Mameng Factory". He stopped talking about it and said: "Uncle, I am
I'm convinced, you guessed it right, it's imperial green, and it's grown in glass..."
"But uncle, how did you guess that it was made of imperial green material?" Zhuang Rui asked again before waiting for a reply from the other end of the phone.
"Nonsense, the imperial green material for glass has appeared four times in the past few years, all from Ma Meng Factory. You are not a very good kid, but you have a high vision. If you can say it is a good material, then I guess the only other material besides me is imperial green.
outside."
"Uncle, how's it going? Is this material worth your while?" Zhuang Rui said with a smile.
"It's worth it, of course it's worth it. If you dare to carve for others, don't call me uncle in the future. Okay, stop being verbose, bring something good and buy a ticket. Come to Beijing immediately. I'll take a look at the materials first..."
The old man's reaction was somewhat beyond Zhuang Rui's expectations. He only wanted to explore the way, but he didn't expect that the old man would just let him pass. He hadn't thought about it yet.
However, the old man's words also made him feel a little lucky. Fortunately, Wu Jia's grandfather was unwell. Otherwise, if this material was left to him to carve, and the old man knew about it in the future, there would be no way to explain it.
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Rui felt a little confused. It had only been two days since he got home and he had to go out again. Now that he didn't have a job, he seemed to be much busier than when he was at work before.
"Mom? Is something wrong?"
Zhuang Rui turned around and was about to go back to his room when he saw his mother standing at the door looking at him.
"Is there something wrong with you? Why, are you going out again?"
Mother Zhuang could not understand her son more and more. After the robbery in Zhonghai, she became calmer and more confident. She also seemed to have good luck. She managed such a big man at such a young age.
a piece of family property.
Zhuang Rui nodded helplessly and said: "Well, I found a jade carving master and promised to help carve that piece of jade, but I have to go to Beijing and I have to leave today..."
Zhuang's mother frowned when she heard this and said: "This thing is not urgent, and Mom is not in a hurry to get it, so why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you going to go to Beijing for school in a while? You can just do it on the way then.
"
"I would also like that, but..."
Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly and briefly explained how he got to know the old man.
Hearing that this man had some connection with her family, Zhuang's mother said: "Go ahead and come back early after finishing your work. There is a lot of people in the capital, so don't cause trouble."
Although she knew her son was not a troublemaker, Zhuang's mother still explained it.
"I understand, Mom, don't worry."
Zhuang Rui agreed, went back to his room, packed a few simple clothes, and walked out.
He pulled the old lady who was reading the manual up from the sofa and asked her to take him to the train station. Zhuang Rui didn't want to drive to Beijing anymore. He had run several long distances in a row. He was almost sick when he smelled the smell of gasoline.
Already.
"Sister, you have to feed the white lion every day, don't forget it."
The thing that Zhuang Rui is most worried about right now is the white lion, but he really can't take it with him when he goes to Beijing. However, this trip shouldn't take long, and the white lion has almost recovered now and will no longer be there.
It needs to be filled with spiritual energy every day.
"I understand, don't worry, remember, give me a pair of earrings, I don't want them hanging around my neck."
Zhuang Min knew the purpose of her brother's trip to Beijing this time, but she was not interested in the pendants Zhuang Rui mentioned and insisted on asking Zhuang Rui to give him a pair of earrings.
…
Pengcheng is a hub connecting the north-south transportation thoroughfares. There is an endless stream of trains passing by. Basically every half an hour, there is a train bound for Beijing. Zhuang Rui asked about it. Twenty minutes later, there happened to be a train bound for China Shipping.
Beijing's tourist express takes just over five hours to reach Beijing.
It was the first time for Zhuang Rui to go to Beijing, and he had some expectations in his heart. You must know that Dashilan and Liulichang in Beijing are famous antique markets in the country. In addition, Beijing has a long historical and cultural heritage. That kind of heritage is beyond Pengcheng Zhonghai.
Comparable to other places.
Beijing is also the place with the highest concentration of antique enthusiasts in the country. There are so many auction companies that there are several special auctions for antiques almost every month. The original old courtyards are a good place to dig out old houses, but the water is also quite deep.
Yes, it is common to pay tuition fees accidentally.
After four or five hours of suffering on the train, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The train pulled its whistle and made a huge roar as it pulled into Beijing Station.
Zhuang Rui had just stepped out of the air-conditioned car, and the heat that hit his face almost made him suffocate. Beijing was a bit hotter than Pengcheng, and it was so dry and hot without a trace of moisture.
"Youngest, youngest, brother, I'm here..."
Just as he was about to take out his cell phone to call his second brother, he heard his shout. Following the sound, he looked around and saw Brother Yue Jing, who was a bit short and fat, jumping on his feet and waving to him.
"Second brother, I'm sorry to bother you, but I still need you to pick me up at such a late hour..."
Zhuang Rui walked over and hugged Yue Jing. When he got on the train, he called his second brother and told him the train number and arrival time. Zhuang Rui was unfamiliar with the place in Beijing, so he couldn't
Let the old man pick up the car?
"You kid, you didn't tell me in advance that you were coming. If you had known me, I would have driven my father's car to pick you up. I could have driven directly to the platform."
The second child punched Zhuang Rui hard on the shoulder and took Zhuang Rui's backpack. He had been waiting here since seven o'clock. Not only was he hot and sweating, but he hadn't even eaten dinner yet.
"I just decided to come here at the last minute. By the way, second brother, what kind of car does our uncle-in-law have? Can it be driven to the platform?"
Zhuang Rui followed the second child out of the station and asked curiously. In Zhuang Rui's impression, it seemed that the police car in the TV series caught the bad guys, or greeted some big shot, so that the car could drive to the platform.
"The car is not valuable, mainly because the brand is valuable. Just stay at my house tonight. Maybe my old man is at home today." The two of them were talking and came to the parking lot of the train station. The second child opened the door of a car.
.
"Hey, second brother, you already drive a BMW? Aren't you afraid that people will say that you, a government civil servant, are corrupt and take bribes?"
Zhuang Rui knew that the second son's family had a background, but in his imagination, these officials' children would definitely have some influence in the capital. He did not expect Brother Yue Jing to be so ostentatious.
"It's not my car. It's my sister's. I'll take you somewhere to eat later. If you drive too poorly, you'll lose your place."
Zhuang Rui sat in the car and took a look, and indeed, the faint smell of perfume and those feminine fur bear pendants showed that the owner of this car was a woman.
