118: Birthday Feast
Chapter 118: Birthday Banquet
In religious culture, the tower has an important role in guarding the water and soil and dispelling evil spirits. To dispel the evil qi, according to the doctrine of celestial and human induction, it is necessary to use the yang number (that is, the odd number) to represent the "light greatness", so that it can better absorb the surrounding "righteous qi", while the yin number (that is, the even number) will gather the yin qi, which is very different from the original intention of building the tower.
So the number of floors of the tower is an odd number!
Although they don't believe in any feng shui theory when they travel around, since the style of the dragon bird is retro, it is natural to get out of a little taste. It is estimated that the elite of the planning bureau does not understand this, which is why there is such a contradiction.
It's just that Wang Hao's attitude towards women can make him so angry that he wants to slap him, which is enough to see how self-righteous this planning bureau elite is.
Jiang Jun comforted: "Don't worry about the past. Anyway, we have sacrificed so many inherent interests to give enough face to the Planning Bureau and the Cultural Bureau, if they still have to care, it is estimated that not only us, but also other people will complain. β
Zhou You waved his hand and said, "Don't think about those unpleasant things, it's more practical to take over the dust for the general." β
Wang Hao also nodded and said to Zhou You: "Yesterday you made everyone hungry for a long time, and now it's time to apologize." β
Zhou You knew that everyone had a part in yesterday's events, especially Huang Jianming, who once again used the power at hand to get rid of a county public security chief, and this sincerity is enough to explain everything. If Zhou You hasn't said it, then he is a fool.
It's a pity that after Zhou You finished talking to you on the phone, his face was like a bitter melon, and he said: "Uncle Huang, Jie Shao, and the people of the Zhang family are all because of Governor Xu's visit to inspect and the imminent arrival of the new mayor, so their itinerary has been arranged to three days later, and they have no time to hip hop with us; and Uncle Ma took all the jade to Guangzhou early in the morning in order to catch the fastest flight because of the war in the capital; as for Zhang Yingwu, he said that a batch of wool of quite good quality was coming over, so he ran to Yunnan overnight. β
"They're all busy people!"
Wang Hao sighed and suddenly laughed: "This is better, so that our lives can get back on track and do what we should do." Why don't we take the opportunity to study the manuscript that the teacher gave us, and start the first video teaching when the teacher is free in the evening?"
"Great praise!"
Zhou You and Jiang Jun's eyes lit up at the same time.
The knowledge of archaeology is like the ocean, and no one dares to know it all, let alone travel around them. Therefore, the exchange of knowledge between antique collectors was very frequent before, and there was even a special organization, and they can now know this, and finally they are not confused by the results.
In this way, Zhou Jie lived a colorful fixed life:
In the morning, he learned from Li Dayong, accepted his training and abuse, and he finally understood why Xu Jie and Wu Qiang had such expressions in his heart; Jiang Jun and the three of them opened a video teaching with Xu Lao, returning to the previous intense study life, and in the evening, it was Zhou You's turn to be the protagonist, he was very cheeky and even used the reason that the room was occupied by Jiang Jun, packed up some clothes and lived in Yao Jiahui's old courtyard, turning the unwillingness and anger that had been aggrieved in the morning into the most primitive force and leaning on the sexy body of Yao Jiahui, who was almost completely sunk, and he was willing to sleep every night until he was exhausted.
Of course, during this period of travel, they also made full use of the opportunity of long-term contact with Xu Lao, and tried their best to take out the antiques that had not really been determined at hand to discuss, identify and exchange.
The Sword of Martinos successfully traded with a mysterious foreign antique collector for four pieces of porcelain that even Xu Lao found valuable. Of course, before the transaction, the killing spirit hidden in the Sword of Martinos had already been devoured by Zhou You.
When Zhou You was still weak before, the killing spiritual power hidden in the Sword of Martinos was like a pinprick for Zhou You, and the pain was unbearable, but after Zhou You devoured the surging spiritual power in the red sandalwood Buddha beads given by Xu Lao, the killing spiritual power of the Sword of Martinos was not so much of a threat to Zhou You, at most it was a toothpick-like pain like a piercing flesh, and after forbearance, he forcibly devoured it.
It's a pity that the spiritual power that I thought would have a qualitative change was only slightly enhanced, and there were no other additional effects, which made Zhou You very disappointed.
And the copper cloisonnΓ© enamel Tianqiu bottle that Zhou You bought from Mr. Li in Shencheng is genuine, because the pattern on it is a rare autumn color map, so Xu Lao gave a preliminary estimate of three million, and said that if it is auctioned, it will definitely be higher. 300,000 to buy something worth at least 3 million, which is definitely not a small omission.
However, with Zhou You's current net worth, there is really no need to sell such an interesting national treasure, anyway, Zhou You's funds are not yet in short supply to that point. Therefore, Zhou You directly listed this best treasure as a personal collection, ready to be used to support the scene of Longque Tower.
The remaining things, such as the red mountain jade owl and the white jade carved dragon and phoenix pattern jade received in the antique city, as well as the blue and white landscape figure pattern phoenix tail zun received from Xu Shaowei, have increased slightly in price, especially the white jade carved dragon and phoenix pattern jade that perfectly matches the color and jade has a value of 200,000 yuan, which is also a lot higher than the purchase price of 30,000.
It's a pity that none of these have the intention of making a profit from the sale of Zhou You, and they are all listed as personal collections to support the scene of Longque Tower.
In the end, there is a whole set of extremely rare December God Cup, which Xu Shaowei deceived from his father in order to repay his debts, and finally traveled around cheaply. Even Xu Lao was very moved after reading this set of things, but he didn't want to snatch his disciple's things and leave a handle on people, so he didn't even evaluate the price, but just asked Zhou You to keep it.
In addition to the agitation of Zhou You, Wang Hao and Jiang Jun also raised their own families, and everyone gained a certain amount, but it was not as exaggerated as Zhou You.
After four days like this, Zhou You and Yao Jiahui finally ushered in an important day:
Huang Jianming's birthday.
Zhou You took the gifts he had carefully prepared, and accompanied by Yao Jiahui, he came to Huang Jianming's villa. Zhou You thought that Huang Jianming's villa would be so luxurious that he couldn't imagine it, but he didn't want this villa to cover an area of not even 300 square meters, and the decoration was very simple, and it was four and a half stories high, there was no villa taste, but there were signs of self-built houses in the countryside.
However, these are not the things to pay attention to when traveling, he found that there was not a single car around, and no one seemed to remember Huang Jianming's birthday.
Yao Jiahui settled down and said hesitantly: "I'd better not go in, it won't be difficult for us." β
Zhou You grabbed her little hand tightly and replied, "Wrong, none of you will make it difficult for each other, it's just that you make yourself uncomfortable." Listen to me, your father is really different, even if he can't go back to his previous relationship, but don't be in trouble. β
Yao Jiahui hesitated for a moment, and walked in under the pull of Zhou You.
But Huang Jianming was even more excited than they imagined, and as soon as they walked in, Huang Jianming stood there to greet them. That's right, it's a greeting, and the father welcomes his baby daughter home after a long absence.
"You're finally back. β
Huang Jianming's expectation and bitterness finally made Yao Jiahui's last disgust disappear. Looking at the white hair between Huang Jianming's hair, Yao Jiahui realized that Huang Jianming was also old.
Get inside.
There is no imaginary splendor, no elegant antique embellishment, some are just the most ordinary family furniture, and even mahogany is the most ordinary color.
"Grandpa!"
Yao Jiahui saw the two old men sitting in the hall and immediately walked over.
They are Huang Jianming's parents, both of whom are 70 years old. It's just that the two old men are in their hometown and don't live with their sons. As for the reason, it is estimated that it has something to do with Huang Jianming's snobbery at the beginning.
"Come on, come on......"
Huang Jianming's mother hurriedly pulled Yao Jiahui and said distressedly: "My good baby, see that you have lost weight like this? Do you still eat instant noodle lunch boxes at every turn as before? Have you listened to your grandmother to hire a nanny?"
"I forgot. β
Yao Jiahui replied awkwardly.
Huang Jianming's mother was so anxious that she immediately said: "I can forget this thing! No, this is absolutely not good, I don't want my good baby to be like before again, grandpa and grandma will go to live with you for a few days, and then don't bother you when they find a suitable nanny." β
Yao Jiahui was so frightened that she hurriedly refused: "Don't be nervous, grandma, Xiaohui just hired a nanny, but she looks a little haggard because she has been a little busy with business recently." As long as I get over this for a while, I will rest, and now I don't know how many times better than before. β
Huang Jianming's father pulled his wife and secretly pointed around, Huang Jianming's father immediately understood, and said very directly: "It seems that I am old and confused, and I have forgotten the world of young people." β
"Come, young man. β
Huang Jianming's father beckoned Zhou You over and asked, "Young man, I heard that you started from scratch, and now you are not only a well-known antique appraiser, but also have your own family business, and your business is very big, which is very remarkable." But you're a lot younger than Xiaohui, isn't your family okay?"
Zhou You had expected to encounter such a problem, and replied with a clear conscience: "Age is not a problem, my family is very cheerful." β
"Good, good!"
Mr. Wong's father praised loudly.
Huang Jianming's mother also sighed: "You and your family are much better than the last time, they are simply two extremes. β
Huang Jianming's mother, who was very happy, had a strong temperament for Zhou You, a scholar, and there was no exaggeration and urgency of young people all over the body, and the unusually steady young man was very eye-catching.
This bead is a very ordinary hand-shaped bead, and it is not even more than fifty years old, but it can be worn by an elder, how important it is to this elder.
"This ......"
Zhou You never imagined that he would receive such a gift.
Huang Jianming's mother said: "Xiaoyou, I know your antique master, and I know that this Buddha bead is not valuable. However, this string of Buddhist beads was obtained from an old monk of the Great Compassion Temple who begged for food, and he has been following the old man for nearly ten years. β
