Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty - Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty One
Chapter 420-421 Wedding
After the things were moved away, the girl with hair as messy as a chicken coop also walked out of the door carrying a box, together with the young artistic young man who came out of another room, and the old Tang Er who was already wearing a brand new look.
Together they left the courtyard.
If Xiao Fang saw this scene, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood, because he had asked the two households next to him that this old Tang was an old household here and had lived here for decades. He never thought that this was purely
There is a nest of snakes and rats, and the trap is laid early.
Of course, at this moment, little Fangzheng was so happy that he moved the chairs home. He carried two of them and ran up to the fifth floor without even breathing. It was as beautiful as eating.
He was like honey, thinking about what kind of wife he would find after taking more than one million yuan.
Not to mention the obsessed Xiao Fang, Zhuang Rui failed to buy anything. Although he was a little depressed, he still gained knowledge. After dinner at home in the evening, he took two boxes of tea from his grandfather and drove straight to the store.
Went to the old master's house. Seeing that the grandpa's birthday was getting closer and closer, Zhuang Rui also wanted to see if the object carved by the old master had come out.
"You brat, you must be up to no good when you come here. Are you thinking about your piece of variegated jade?"
The courtyard where the old man lived was actually equipped with heating. After entering the house, Zhuang Rui took off his down jacket and put the tea leaves on the table.
"Hey, uncle, didn't I make a special trip to bring you tea? If you don't want it, I'll take it away..."
Zhuang Rui picked up the two cans of tea from the table and pretended to stuff them into the bag. Before he recognized his grandfather's relatives, Zhuang Rui didn't have many elders, including Liu Chuan's parents, the other ones were Uncle Gu and De Zhonghai.
Uncle.
In front of them, Zhuang Rui was always very relaxed, and occasionally he would be a little unruly. This kind of feeling was rare even in front of several uncles. The reason was that those few who had been in high positions for a long time really had a certain kind of vitality in them.
An aura that keeps people away.
"Well, Longjing, okay, I guess you have a conscience, wait, I'll make a cup..."
An ancient hobby, apart from carving and appreciating jade, is tea tasting. Every time Zhuang Rui comes to his small courtyard, when the weather is not cold, he can always see the old man taking a nap in the courtyard with a tea set.
, Zhuang Rui brought this tea because he knew he was good at tea.
While Gu Gu was rinsing the tea set with hot water in the kettle at the door, he asked Zhuang Rui: "Did you get this tea from your uncle?"
"No, take my grandpa's..."
Zhuang Rui answered honestly that although he was a collector and once got a set of Zhu Kexin's purple clay teapots, he really didn't like drinking tea, mainly because it was too troublesome. People who don't have a certain state of mind can't calm down.
Make tea with peace of mind.
"Oh? This is Mingqian Longjing. No, I have to change the tea set..."
After Gu Gu heard Zhuang Rui's words, he opened the tea can and put it to the tip of his nose to smell it. His face was suddenly filled with a smile. He put aside the purple sand tea set he was cleaning in his hand and went back to the back room to take out two glasses.
.
"You kid, if you have nothing to do, bring some of these things to your uncle, so that I can benefit from that old man's glory..."
After rinsing the tea set, Gu Tianfeng filled a pot of pure water with an electric kettle, plugged it in and started boiling it.
Zhuang Rui chuckled and said: "Uncle, drink it with all your heart. I will bring it to you after you finish it..."
Gu Tianfeng glared at Zhuang Rui angrily and said, "Do you think these are cabbage leaves? They are sold in vegetable markets. Even if you have money, you can't buy them. Your grandpa probably also supplies them in rations.
This is Mingqian Longjing..."
After listening to the old man's introduction, Zhuang Rui knew that just two cans of tea were worth tens of thousands. The Longjing tea picked before the Qingming Festival is called "Mingqian", and the tea picked before the Grain Rain is called "Yuqian".
There is a saying that "it is the best before the rain, and it is the treasure before the dawn", and this tea "picked three days early is a treasure, picked three days late it becomes grass".
Longjing is a round spring pool that never dries up even in severe droughts. The ancients thought that this spring was connected to the sea, and there was a dragon in it, so it was called Longjing. In fact, there are not many real Longjing teas. There are only a few trees around Longjing Spring, and the output is rare.
It was used as tribute tea in ancient times. Most of the teas on the market are produced in Shifeng, Longjing, Yunqi and Hupao.
After the water boiled, the old man carefully dug out three or four tea leaves with a tea spoon and put them into two glasses respectively. After pouring in half a cup of boiling water, he shook the cup, poured out the water, and then poured it into the glass.
Two thirds of the water was filled into the cup. The old man brought the cup to the tip of his nose and sniffed it vigorously, like a naughty boy.
Zhuang Rui also picked up the cup, but he saw the buds standing upright, the soup clear and fragrant, and the entire transparent glass was rendered green. He imitated the old man and smelled it, and the aroma immediately penetrated his chest and lungs, and his mind was filled with excitement.
A clear one.
"Xiaozhuang, look at this tea. Is it one bud and one leaf? This is commonly known as "one flag and one gun". It is the best tea. My old son often honors me with some tea leaves, but it is far worse than yours.
…”
As the old man spoke, he picked up the tea cup, as if he were looking at a work of art, praising it while looking at it.
"Uncle, if you like it, I will buy some for you from time to time. By the way, uncle, did you carve out the variegated jade material last time?"
This is the purpose of Zhuang Rui's visit today. Seeing that the old man was just competing with the tea he brought, Zhuang Rui could only ask.
Gu Tianfeng smiled and said: "Haha, I also want to praise you for becoming calmer. It's better not to be calm. The things are done and they are in this room. You just didn't see them...
"
"In this room?"
Zhuang Rui saw that the old man ignored him after he finished speaking. He stood up and looked around the room carefully.
Gu lives in a small courtyard house. His main room is not very big. On the table in the middle, apart from the teapot and cups, are the two boxes of tea leaves.
"Eh? That's not right!"
Zhuang Rui's eyes swept across the table. As soon as he moved away, he felt that he seemed to have missed something. He looked over again and found that there was a tray for holding fruits on the table.
There were some fresh fruits on the tray, including grapes, grapes, cherries, bananas, apples, and peeled pomegranates. Zhuang Rui was very excited to see the red soil. He had not eaten pomegranates for several years, but
The most conspicuous thing on the tray are two pink birthday peaches, each about the size of a fist. Under the light, they are pink and white, and the fine hairs on them are clearly visible.
In this cold day, I don’t know who brought these fruits to the old man, but now they are grown in greenhouses. It is not unusual to see these objects in winter. Zhuang Rui just took a curious look at them and turned his eyes.
He moved away and continued searching the house.
"Uncle, are you kidding me? Is there anything in this room?" Zhuang Rui searched for a long time, but couldn't find his jade material. The decorations in this hall are very simple, except for tables and chairs, and a washroom at the door.
The basin has a shelf, and there isn't even a cabinet.
"Haha, you kid, you are blind!"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the old man laughed happily, as if he had done something very proud.
"Open your eyes and go blind?!"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment, suddenly understood, and immediately looked at the fruit tray he had just looked at.
"This...is this carved from that piece of jade?"
Zhuang Rui couldn't believe his eyes. Although he didn't have the spirit to stare just now, he still saw that the pink peaches didn't even have the fluff washed off, and some of the fruits had water stains on them. This was also his fault.
One of the reasons why I didn’t pay much attention at the time.
"It's true!"
When Zhuang Rui touched the tray with trembling hands, he realized that even the tray was actually carved from a single piece of jade, and the bananas, apples, longevity peaches and other fruits on it were all fake.
of.
Zhuang Rui counted several colors, including purple, green, yellow, black, white, red, and pink. Almost every color was used, and every color was used to its best advantage. It seemed messy, but in fact it was
It is so clear-cut and lifelike that Zhuang Rui was blinded just now. This kind of carving and fantastic conception are truly ingenious.
"Tsk, tsk, uncle, this is really incredible. Your craftsmanship is definitely the best in the world..."
As Zhuang Rui watched, he couldn't help but admire. Fruits can prolong people's life. Adding these two longevity peaches is a good sign. Zhuang Rui can conclude that giving this thing to his grandfather as a birthday gift must be a unique gift.
A piece of something that no one can compare to.
The old man took the fruit plate ornament from Zhuang Rui, his eyes were full of reluctance, and he said in a sad tone: "Good craftsmanship also requires good materials, Xiaozhuang, this thing is my exclusive work, and I will no longer carve it from now on."
It’s an object…”
Since he got this piece of material, Gu Tianfeng racked his brains and put all his strength into it. It took him more than three months to complete it and spent countless energy. When the ornament was completed, he also felt that he
His body is not as good as before. This is also the most satisfying work in his life. Zhuang Rui's reaction just now also made the old man extremely satisfied.
"Uncle, you are not old yet. There is no problem in working for another ten years..."
After Zhuang Rui heard Gu Tianfeng's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. When he looked at the old man, he found that he actually had a few age spots and more wrinkles on his face. Compared with the first time he saw him in Nanjing, Zhuang Rui
At that time, he had become much older. Zhuang Rui knew that the old man had probably put a lot of thought and energy into this piece of jade.
Zhuang Rui couldn't help but feel a little guilty. In the past six months or so, he had been carving many objects for him. It was time for him to find an opportunity to use spiritual energy to help the ancient master clean up his body.
"I'm old just because I'm not going to die. What can't I admit? I'll be less concerned about things in the future, and I'll still be free. I can go out and see my old friends if I have nothing to do. I'll work for another ten years. I want to make my old man tired.
Die?"
The old man scolded Zhuang Rui with a smile and put the ornaments in his hands back on the table. Although he still couldn't let go of the profession he had worked hard for all his life, Gu Tianfeng was still quite proud of being able to carve such an object in his later years.
No matter what era they are placed in, they are all masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.
Zhuang Rui picked up the jade ornament and looked at it for a while. He found that the old man had not left his mark on the object, so he said: "Uncle, I won't take this object away for now. You can carve your name on the base."
The bell mark must be kept!"
"Okay, I'm not hurting you in vain, kid..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the old man laughed happily. No one wants to leave his name on the objects he handles, especially this kind of work that is bound to cause a sensation once it comes out.
If this was an ordinary object, Gu Tianfeng would not ask Zhuang Rui, but would leave his name, because that would double the value of the object. However, as this ornament was too precious, he did not rush to leave it.
He made his usual mark, and when he heard Zhuang Rui's words, he couldn't help but feel greatly comforted.
"Uncle, I went to dig out the old house today. It has gained me some knowledge..."
Zhuang Rui had another conversation with the old man, and told him what happened when he dug out the old house today. Of course, he didn't say that he used his spiritual energy to see that there were fake objects in the room next to him, but accidentally opened the door to look.
When the old man arrived, he burst out laughing.
"More than sixty years old? Hey, maybe that's a secret that was passed down before liberation..." Gu Tianfeng is an old Beijinger and is quite familiar with these deceptions, so he explained it to Zhuang Rui.
In the rivers and lakes before liberation, there were four gates: bee, hemp, swallow, and sparrow. In addition, there were eight small gates: gold, leather, color, hanging, flat, tuan, diiao, and Liu. The "door" refers to the rivers and lakes industry.
The so-called bee, also known as style, refers to a group of people swarming together to commit fraud. In terms of style, it probably describes a quick decision, like a strong wind sweeping through.
And Ma, also known as Ma, refers to a person who commits fraud alone; Yan, also known as Yan, refers to someone who uses women as bait to deceive; Que, also known as Que, refers to a group of people spending money to buy an official position.
Shortage, and then make a fortune.
As for the Eight Small Gates, most of them are people who travel to Jianghu to earn a living by craftsmanship. For example, Jinmen, also known as "Jinmen", is the general name for the magicians who are engaged in fortune telling and fortune telling.
The business of storytellers, acrobats and other acrobats is called "caimen" in the world, and the profession of horse racing and martial arts is called "guamen".
In general, the four gates are purely deceptive ways to make money, while the eight gates rely on craftsmanship to make a living. In the 1980s, the eight gates were still very popular, and those who played monkey tricks on the roadside were all
Among them, "Guamen" does it.
"You're lucky, otherwise you would definitely be in trouble. This is Fengmen's style. I guess the houses nearby are all cheating. By the time you buy the items, the yard will probably be empty...
…”
This matter was really confirmed by the old man. There is no trace of that courtyard now.
Zhuang Rui originally thought about going to see it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. After hearing what the old man said, he gave up the idea. As the saying goes, what you buy is not what you sell. Others are just the ones who eat this. If you want to take advantage, I guess
Not that easy.
"Uncle, it's very cold today. I won't go out at night. I'll spend the night at your place. Do you have a place to sleep?"
Zhuang Rui saw that the old man had a tired look on his face. He wanted to wait for the old man to fall asleep and help him groom his body. Judging from the effect of treating his grandfather, although this spiritual energy cannot completely cure some diseases, it can be effective.
It can alleviate the aging of human body skills and is very effective for the elderly.
Gu Gu didn't think much, and pointed to the room next to the main room and said: "There are many houses. Well, I'll sleep over there. You can sleep in the side room. Xiaoyun and the others have lived there since they came here, and everything is ready-made...
…”
Zhuang Rui, who returned to the courtyard the next day, had already brought back the fruit plate and jade carving ornament. Because the ancient man had been sorted out by his spiritual energy, he felt refreshed and in very good condition when he got up the next day, so he used it.
After half an hour, he left his own money at the bottom of the ornament and gave it to Zhuang Rui to take away.
Zhuang Rui was relatively free in the next few days. Ouyang Jun was busy with his marriage and had no time to harass Zhuang Rui. For several days in a row, Zhuang Rui was reading and reviewing in his house, and occasionally accompanied the white lion in the garden.
take a walk.
The weather is getting colder and colder. It has snowed heavily in the past few days. The whole courtyard is covered with snow. The pavilions, rockeries and ponds all seem to be dressed in white. The lotus leaves in the pond have also become withered.
It will have to wait until next spring to grow again.
When I walked out of the door, the snow in the yard was knee-high. Hao Long was shoveling the snow with a shovel. When the little girl saw the snow, she was as excited as the white lion. She was dressed like a little cotton ball and pulled
With his parents and Zhuang Rui, he built a snowman in the yard.
Winter is a bit sad for people, but the white lion is more energetic. It is the king of the snow mountains. The thick layer of hair on its body can sleep peacefully in the snow at several degrees below zero, which is enough to withstand the cold weather.
It's freezing cold, and the white lion standing in the snow in the yard seems to be integrated with the world if it doesn't move.
But looking at the white lion getting bigger and bigger, Zhuang Rui also scratched his head. Although the white lion is still less than one year old, it will be necessary to find a wife for it in two years. Just looking at this situation, can
It’s really hard to find a female mastiff with a white lion. If I can’t find it, I will take her to Tibet to see if I can find a suitable female mastiff.
After a few days of leisure, Zhuang Rui started to get busy again. First, it was Ouyang Jun's wedding, and he asked him to be the best man. This was a big deal for Zhuang Rui.
Because Ouyang Jun actually hired a beautician. After he finished dressing up, he applied it on Zhuang Rui's face for a long time. He didn't know whether it was powder or something. He looked like he had the potential to be a pretty boy, and Zhuang Rui was very confused.
I was depressed, and I was even more dissatisfied with the beautician who was neither male nor female. He left the groom to take care of her, so why should he compete with his best man?
The wedding was held in the Fangfei Hall of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Although not many people went there, the standards were quite high. Some of the figures Zhuang Rui often saw on TV were now seen in real life.
Although some old men have already retired, when these people were in office, they held the future and destiny of many people in their hands, and their every move was majestic, making the atmosphere of the wedding a little solemn.
In addition, there are some friends of the bride, who are all big names in the film and television industry. If it were Zhuang Rui a year ago, he might have taken a book and asked for autographs one by one, but now Zhuang Rui is accustomed to these things.
Now, as his net worth continues to rise and He Bai takes on the identity of Ouyang Gang's grandson, Zhuang Rui becomes more and more calm.
It's just that although Zhuang Rui is not interested in these people, he can't help but there are many female guests who are interested in him as the best man, especially those celebrities in the entertainment industry and business circles. They have to inquire about the best man's identity and whether he has a girlfriend.
This made Zhuang Rui extremely annoyed.
"Okay, even if I was quite interested in you when I was watching movies when I was a teenager, but eldest sister, you are over 40 this year, and the skin on your face is almost sagging, and you still come to ask your buddy for a business card..."
After Zhuang Rui got rid of a veteran actress, he hid in a corner and wiped away cold sweat. Of course, those words could only be thought in his heart, and it would be extremely shocking to say them out.
However, these female celebrities are really in good health. They all wear skirts on cold days, and the bust is lower than the other. Some of them are wearing cheongsam, with the slit reaching to the waist, and black panties.
, quite tempting to reverie.
Zhuang Rui was very excited after seeing this, but he was not in a hurry. After returning to Pengcheng to attend Liu Chuan's wedding tomorrow, he would go to Hong Kong immediately, because Grandpa Leilei's family was hosting a banquet in Hong Kong, and Qin Xuanbing had to go back, even though it was only for one day.
time, but that's better than Zhuang Rui watching videos on the computer every night and messing around with the fifth girl when he gets angry.
The people who came today were all of high status and would not make a scene by drinking. Ouyang Jun found a follower to serve the wine. Zhuang Rui, the best man, calmed down. After getting rid of several celebrities and socialites, he hid in an unknown place.
They started eating and drinking on their own at the unobtrusive table.
"Brother, you have settled in Beijing and you don't know how to say hello to me..."
After Zhuang Rui had eaten and drank enough, he was debating whether to call his sister and brother-in-law to leave together, or to run away first, when he suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder from behind.
"Hey, it's Brother Song. You see, I've been so busy during this period. I'm confused. Brother Song, I'll go home tomorrow... I can't do it tomorrow. That kid from Dachuan is getting married. I have to rush back to Pengcheng in a few days.
I'll give you the phone number and go sit at home..."
Zhuang Rui looked back and saw that it was Song Jun. He was an old acquaintance. He quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered one to Song Jun. He didn't find Song Jun in Beijing during this period, so he did something wrong.
Earlier I said I wanted to see Mr. Song’s collection.
"Well, when Liu Chuan came to Beijing some time ago, he also sent me a post, but I don't have time to go back. When winter comes, my old man's health is a bit relapsing. I want to stay here and keep an eye on it.
I'll give you a red envelope later, bring it to Liu Chuan for me..."
When Song Jun spoke, his face was a little gloomy. The old man in the family was in poor health. For them, the impact was very great. These old guys, regardless of whether they are awake or confused, as long as they are still in this world, then
It has a certain intimidating effect.
"Okay, forget it if you can't leave. I'll bring the message to you. When I come back, I'll go see the old man..."
Although Zhuang Rui didn't care much about politics, he often heard Mr. Song's name from his grandfather. He knew that the relationship between the two families was very good. He wanted to help the old man if he had the opportunity, but it took a little effort.
, otherwise if you see one, your body will get better, which will inevitably arouse other people's imagination.
