In Pengcheng in November, it was already cold and windy, and the trees on both sides of the road had become bare. However, in the Yunlong Villa where Zhuang Rui lived, the artificially planted cold-proof lawns made the Villa still look like spring.
Zhuang Rui found a professional company to dress all the tropical trees planted in the garden and wrap layers of things around the tree trunks to ensure that they would still be well stocked and full of green in winter.
In this season of winter, people tend to get sleepy easily. Zhuang Rui wanted to sleep a little longer even if his lips were so dry that he wanted to sleep for a while. However, the ringtone of his cell phone that he didn't know where rang disturbed his sweet dreams. He spent a long time looking for it.
, and then he took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket on the ground.
There was central air conditioning in the house, which was always at a constant temperature of 27 degrees. Zhuang Rui was wearing shorts, ran to the refrigerator to get a bottle of drink, then got into bed again, and then pressed the answer button.
"I asked you, what are you doing? Are you messing around outside because your younger siblings have left?"
Ouyang Jun's dissatisfied voice came from the phone. He called Zhuang Rui several times this morning, but he didn't answer it until now. Little did he know that Zhuang Rui would not even listen to the ringing tone of the phone if he hadn't been so dry that he couldn't sleep.
Less than.
"Fourth brother, it's not good to disturb someone's dream. It's only what time it is. Does your sister-in-law have any objection to you calling so early?"
While Zhuang Rui was talking, he picked up the remote control on the bedside and opened the automatically controlled baffle on the roof. Suddenly, a ray of sunlight found his face, causing Zhuang Rui's eyes to narrow slightly. It seemed that it was not too early.
Yes.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhuang Rui finished speaking, Ouyang Jun shouted: "What time is it? It's almost 12 noon. Your kid must have been fooling around yesterday..."
"Fourth brother, if you have something to say, we are still unmarried and good young men. We can do whatever we want. We are no better than those grooms-to-be who have received a certificate and need approval from their wives when we go out for a drink..."
Zhuang Rui took a sip of the drink to soothe his throat that was about to smoke, and chatted with Ouyang Jun on the phone. In fact, Ouyang Jun was not as unbearable as he said. Although the big star was very charming, he had to tie Ouyang Jun down.
, that is still not enough, she also manages like a sheep, she can go wherever she likes, as long as she goes home and sleeps at night.
"Go away, are you trying to make me angry? Is your fourth brother like that? I asked your sister-in-law to go east, but she didn't dare go west, so I asked her..."
"Okay, okay, stop it. Fourth brother, if you have anything to do, just tell me. I still want to sleep for a while. I drank too much while accompanying the Tibetan guests yesterday..."
Being exposed to the winter sun, Zhuang Rui really felt sleepy. There is nothing more comfortable than sleeping under a warm quilt in the middle of winter.
Another point is that Ouyang Jun, an older young man who responded to the country's call for late marriage and late childbearing, seems to be suffering from a bit of marriage syndrome recently. If he catches someone, he will never stop talking. When Zhuang Rui was in Beijing during this period, he was often harassed.
He was annoyed that even though he had gone to Pengcheng, he could still catch up with the phone calls.
"Don't you want to pick up some antiques? There was a recent demolition in Xicheng, and I heard that a lot of good stuff came out. If you can come back in time, go and have a look. If it's too late, you won't have anything to do..."
Ouyang Jun said bitterly. He also knew that he talked a bit too much during this period, but this was also a matter of personal distinction. If Brother Ouyang didn't think highly of you, he wouldn't be too lazy to talk to you. This Sijiu City wants to hear his verbosity.
People can form a queue of several hundred meters.
"Really? Fourth brother, don't you want to trick me into going back to treat you to a drink?"
When Zhuang Rui heard this, he immediately became energetic. He felt that his collection room was too spacious, and he always wanted to find some good objects to fill it. In addition, he also wanted to buy some real old huanghuali or mahogany furniture.
, so that it suits this old house, and it can also make this house look more sophisticated.
I only went to Panjiayuan and Liulichang a few times, but I didn't have much luck. Although there were a few good things, they were all used by stall owners or shops for fishing, which made Zhuang Rui touch the ashes and huanghuali.
There is quite a lot of furniture from He Lao Mahogany, but if someone else wants three to five million, no matter how rich Zhuang Rui is, he will not take advantage of him.
He had seen that screen before at Ouyang Jun's club, and later met Ouyang Jun at the black market in the capital. He knew that Ouyang Jun also knew people in this field, so he greeted him and asked him to pay attention to it for him.
One point, of course, there is no need to inform yourself about a black market like last time. It is just a boot camp, and everyone who goes there has to pay tuition.
"Fuck you, fourth brother, I want to drink. The guests can line up from Qianmen Street to Yuquan Mountain, so why do you need me? I've told you, it's up to you whether you come or not..."
After Ouyang Jun laughed and cursed, he hung up the phone. Not to mention, he really wanted to have a drink with Zhuang Rui. He looked very beautiful when he was outside now, but he was also tired from living. He could only say this when he met people.
Thirdly, you should be careful when drinking, for fear that if you drink too much, you will not be able to sit down with your brothers and enjoy a drink by the fireside.
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Rui lay on the bed and thought about it. Things in Pengcheng have basically been taken care of. The 4S Audi store has a professional manager hired by his brother-in-law, and there are also waiters at the auto repair shop.
With people staring at him, Zhao Guodong should be able to walk away.
"Hey, brother-in-law, pack up, we are going to Beijing today..."
As for his jade processing workshop, he felt relieved to leave it to Luo Jiang to take care of it. What's more, with Zhou Rui to check it, nothing would go wrong, so he called Zhao Guodong.
"Leave today? Didn't you say you have to wait two days?" As you said yesterday, Zhuang Rui planned to stay in Pengcheng for two days and wait for Liu Chuan to come back and meet before leaving. Zhao Guodong didn't understand why Zhuang Rui wanted to leave today.
He changed his mind.
"I miss my niece, can't I? Are you leaving? If you don't leave, I'll go by myself by motor vehicle." Of course Zhuang Rui refused to say that he went back to Beijing to look for things. He knew that as long as
After dragging the little girl along, Zhao Guodong decided to put down what he was doing and left with him.
"Okay, okay, let's go now. I have nothing to pack. Your sister has been going to Beijing for several days. Let's meet at the train station later..."
Zhao Guodong was really panicked when he heard Zhuang Rui mentioning his daughter. He was just too busy and had no time to take care of her. In addition, his mother-in-law felt sorry for her granddaughter, so she had been herding sheep in Beijing. Now when Zhuang Rui said that he was better than Zhuang Rui,
Rui became even more anxious and asked his apprentice to drive straight to the train station.
Zhuang Rui was not so quick. After getting up and washing up, he took out an inconspicuous backpack and went to the basement.
The shelf that was originally filled with jewelry boxes was now empty. There were only three slightly larger boxes on it, and there were more than a dozen small jewelry boxes.
In addition to the blood jade bracelet that was given to my mother and was going to be given to my grandmother, and the bracelet that was given to Qin Xuanbing, these are the only few accessories left from the red jade material. Of course, they are also the most valuable.
Yes, these three pairs of bracelets and pendant earrings are worth at least 50 million RMB.
Zhuang Rui thought about studying and living in Beijing in the next few years, so he planned to bring all these things to Beijing. Zhuang Rui was reluctant to sell such a rare blood jade bracelet, and kept it until his niece grew up.
Yes, it would be good to give her as a dowry. If you have a son, you can also leave it to your daughter-in-law as a family heirloom.
While imagining and giggling, Zhuang Rui put these treasures into his backpack, closed the doors and windows of the villa, went out, took a taxi, and headed straight to the train station.
Since the addition of motor vehicle groups, it only takes four or five hours to go from Pengcheng to Beijing. Although the fare is also prohibitively expensive, for Zhuang Rui, it is more cost-effective than flying. Not to mention the long standby time, in case of
When it comes to windy and rainy weather, you will have to wait. For some people nowadays, traveling by plane is not the best choice.
It was only around five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Beijing West Railway Station. After Zhuang Rui and Zhao Guodong took a taxi to the courtyard, they were just in time to have dinner. However, Ouyang Jun came uninvited and sat there carelessly waiting for Zhuang Rui.
.
Seeing that Ouyang Jun's face was already drunk and he was asking for a toast, Zhuang Rui said helplessly: "Fourth brother, you are going to get married soon, can't you spend more time with your sister-in-law?"
By now, others had already finished eating and dispersed. Zhao Guodong took the gift he just bought on the way to coax his daughter, otherwise the little girl would really forget about her father.
"Xiaojun, drink less." Ouyang Wan couldn't get used to the smell of alcohol, so she frowned and left, leaving the two brothers alone in the restaurant.
"Your sister-in-law and Xiao Min went shopping. Let me tell you something. Hey, fourth brother, I have also decorated a courtyard. When you introduce your senior brother to me later, I will also decorate it in the style of your house."
After seeing his sister-in-law leaving, Ouyang Jun smiled proudly. He had been eyeing Zhuang Rui's house for a long time. He had been searching for it for several months and only found one a few days ago.
"Okay, you've seen my friend too. I'll call him later and I can see the scene tomorrow. By the way, fourth brother, how big is your house?"
When Zhuang Rui heard this, it was a good thing. It could also bring some business to Gu Yun, and it was time for him to run to the old man. There was also a piece of variegated nephrite placed with the old man, and he didn't know how to carve out the object.
No, that was a gift I prepared for my grandpa for his 70th birthday.
"It's only over a thousand square meters. There are two courtyards in front and back. It's much smaller than yours. Well, you can check it out tomorrow. I'll just call Xiaobai up and ask him to accompany you to the old house in Xicheng to buy things.
…”
Ouyang Jun looked depressed when he mentioned this. The one with more than 5,000 square meters cost only about 100 million a few months ago, but now it has increased to more than 200 million. Ouyang Jun is so greedy that he can't afford it, so he can only settle for the next best thing.
