"Hey, I said Brother Hu, Brother Gu, why did you two get together to drink tea?"
Zhuang Rui heard his mother say that Hu Rong had lived in the courtyard for two days, and Gu Yun also came every day during this time, just to see if Zhuang Rui had come back, as soon as he went home today, he saw that the two brothers were drinking tea and chatting under the big locust tree in their courtyard.

Zhuang Rui hasn't seen Hu Rong for more than a year, but Hu Rong's reputation as a jadeite designer is getting louder and louder in the world, and the newly developed jadeite mine two years ago is a rare bonanza in Myanmar, and it can be called Myanmar's leading mining tycoon.
And Hu Rong's jewelry design company has also opened dozens in Southeast Asia, and its reputation abroad is resounding, even above Zhuang Rui, the "Jade King" in the north, at this moment Hu Rong is sitting there, faintly having the demeanor of a grandmaster, and his demeanor is more calm than more than two years ago.
With Zhuang Rui's care, Gu Yun undertook a lot of state-owned and private museum renovation work, and his company has also become a leading enterprise in the restoration of ancient buildings in China, far from the small company that did some scattered work back then.
It is said that these two brothers are not idlers, one is in charge of the Hu Chinese Town in Myanmar, and the other is the big boss of the company.
As soon as Gu Yun saw Zhuang Rui, the boss's appearance was gone, he stood up and grabbed Zhuang Rui, and said anxiously: "I said Brother Zhuang, you are too busy, I have been looking for you for a week, no one answered the phone, and I can't find you anymore, I can't pay the difference......"
"Brother Gu, don't worry, what's the matter? The old man is not in good health?"
After hearing Gu Yun's words, Zhuang Rui was taken aback, since the old man Gu retired, his body and spirit were not as good as before, after this old man passed seventy, he couldn't tell when he would let go, even if Zhuang Rui's aura was good, there was no way to rob people with King Yama.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui was in a hurry, grabbed Gu Yun with his backhand, and asked loudly: "Brother Gu, old ...... Old man, he ...... What's wrong?"
On the road of Zhuang Rui's growth, the most grateful are two people, one is Uncle De of Zhonghai, and the other is the old man Gu, these two are like nephews to him, teaching him the knowledge of antiques and jade appreciation from selfishness.
"Hey, hey, you kid is light, it hurts me to death, what can my dad do, miss you, hey, I said that your kid is not cursing the old man, right?"
Zhuang Rui lost his father since he was a child, in his heart, these two elders are like fathers, he is really anxious at this moment, he grabbed Gu Yun's hand a little hard, and the guy who was in pain screamed loudly.
"Damn, then why didn't you say it earlier, it scared me......"
After Zhuang Rui heard Gu Yun's words, he let go of his hand, Gu Yun hurriedly looked at his wrist, but Zhuang Rui grabbed a few fingerprints, which shows that Zhuang Rui used a lot of force at that time.
"I didn't say anything...... Gu Yun looked at the unwarranted disaster on his wrist, and brought up the previous topic with a smile: "What have you been doing all this time? Why can't you get through on the phone?"
"It's been at sea for the past few days, salvaging a sunken ship, it's not ...... I'm just back from my busy work......"
Because Zhuang Rui has been cleaning up the shipwreck cultural relics in the past few days, he basically hasn't gone back to the room on the ship to sleep, and the phone is also turned off, so no matter who it is, Zhuang Rui can't be found during this time.
After Zhuang Rui finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Hu Rong and said, "Brother Hu, you should be at home when you come here, if things are not too urgent, can we talk at night?"
The old man grabbed his son and waited for him for two days, Zhuang Rui was also a little embarrassed in his heart, since he got married, the time to go to the old man was much less than before, and he was ready to take his two precious children to the old man to sit down.
"I have admired the old man for a long time, Zhuang Rui, I will go with you to visit Mr. Xiagu......"
Hu Rong's affairs were not in a hurry, but when he heard Zhuang Rui say that he was going to Gu Tianfeng, he suddenly had the idea of visiting.
Hu Rong is an expert in the design of jadeite jewelry, and he also has a lot of experience in jadeite carving.
"Cheng, then let's go together, you two wait for me for a while......"
Zhuang Rui nodded, went to his mother's room to say hello, and then found Fang Fangyuan, who was happily playing with the white lion in the backyard, and finally thought for a while, and went down to his treasure room with few remaining items alone.
Zhuang Rui thought that the old man was usually lonely, and wanted to find a piece of material for him to play with, once the old man was completely idle, all the problems on his body came, it was better to have something to do, but it was good for the body.
"Which piece of material?"
Due to fundraising some time ago, a lot of Zhuang Rui's treasured materials were sold, so now in addition to those gold bricks in the basement, there are not many jadeite materials left, there are only four pieces in total, all of which are rare treasures in the world.
Two fist-sized pieces of imperial green material, a piece of the best blue jade with glass germplasm material, and a piece of yellow jade material with a yellow luster like chicken fat.
Although it has not yet been polished, these pieces of bright material that have been cut out by Zhuang Rui show different colors under the light, exuding a shining light.
If these pieces of material appear in the jade shop, it will definitely cause an uproar, and I am afraid that its effect will be on top of the sensation caused by Zhuang Rui's successful salvage of the Song Dynasty shipwreck in the antique world.
"Yes, it's you......" After looking at it for a long time, Zhuang Rui finally made a decision, and he held the best piece of Huang Fei in his hand.
Imperial green and blue fei are relatively easy to do, necklaces or bracelets can be made, but this piece of yellow fei material, Zhuang Rui has never thought about what to carve into something, and now he doesn't have to worry about it, just let the old man think about it.
"Zhuang Rui, what are you holding?"
Seeing that Zhuang Rui was not only bringing his daughter-in-law and children here, but also holding an object wrapped in cloth in his hand, Gu Yun and Hu Rong were a little strange.
"Hehe, you'll know when you turn around, this is for the old man's treatment......"
Zhuang Rui laughed, but he refused to show the thing, and carefully hid it under his driver's seat, and the two of them shook their heads, Hu Rong guessed a clue, Zhuang Rui should have taken a piece of jade.
……
Several people drove two cars, parked in the alley of the courtyard where the old man lived, and poured into the old man's yard back and forth.
"Uncle Shi, the little one came to see you, your old body is getting stronger and stronger, I think you should go back to the association and become the president again......
As soon as Zhuang Rui entered the courtyard gate, he saw that the old man was pruning flowers and plants there, although it was a hot day in August, but this courtyard was cooler than Zhuang Rui's courtyard.
"Stinky boy, you haven't been here for half a year, have you?
After the old man saw Zhuang Rui, his face was not very good-looking, but when he saw the two little guys walking staggeringly in the back, he immediately smiled, put down the scissors, and hugged the two dolls one by one.
Although the two little guys have not yet been able to utter a complete sentence, their small mouths are very sweet, and they shout a grandfather, and the old man's face is full of smiles, and deep lines are wrinkled between his eyebrows.
"Eccentric, eccentric, I've never seen him hug his grandson like this......"
Gu Yun muttered in a low voice on the side, and Zhuang Rui looked at him with disdain when he heard it, and said, "Your son is about to enter junior high school, can the old man still hold it?"
"Okay, Fang Fangyuan and Mom are going to play, don't be tired of grandpa......"
Seeing that the old man was more old than before, Zhuang Rui secretly blamed himself in his heart, if he often helped the old man to comb his body, he would definitely not be like this.
After the old man put down Fang Fangyuan, Zhuang Rui introduced him to Hu Rong again, and when he heard that it was a companion from Myanmar, the old man was very interested, and waved his hand and said: "Xiaoyun, go, prepare a few good dishes with your daughter-in-law, I want to have a good drink with Xiaohu in the evening......"
Zhuang Rui heard that the old man didn't mention himself, and knew that the old man was still angry with himself, so he licked his face and smiled: "Hehe, uncle, what about me......"
"Stinky boy, remember your uncle, come on, let's go into the hall and talk......"
Gu glanced at Zhuang Rui, but he didn't want to snub Hu Rong in the courtyard, so he let Zhuang Rui go, only Gu Yun stood in the courtyard and was more aggrieved, why did the buddy only have the life of serving people and running errands?
"Uncle Shi, I've been overseas all this time, don't you come to see you as soon as I come back......
As soon as Zhuang Rui entered the house, he consciously boiled the boiling water and put away the tea set he gave to the old man.
"Zhuang Rui, Uncle Shi is not angry with you, but you have been a museum and an overseas Taobao for the past two years, although you are doing business, but old man, let me ask, how many duties have you performed as a director of the Jade Association?"
Seeing Zhuang Rui's well-behaved appearance, the old man couldn't get angry, paused for a moment and continued: "I love jade carving and appreciation, this carving craft has been inherited, but the appreciation is no one has my true inheritance, and you kid has some talent, but look at you in the past two years, have you ever touched the edge of jade?"
Gu Tianfeng was a little excited as he spoke, and Zhuang Rui understood that he dared to love the old man, who blamed himself for not doing his job?
Thinking about what the old man said, Zhuang Rui made his fortune from jade, but in the past few years, what he has done has become farther and farther away from the jade industry, no wonder the old man is angry.
"Uncle Shi, this matter is not right on me, I will pay more attention to the work of the Jade Association in the future......"
Zhuang Rui did feel a little guilty, you know, at that time, Zhuang Rui was allowed to enter the Jade Association, but the old man Gu single-handedly promoted it.
