Chapter Ninety-Three: The Nobles of the Ming Dynasty
When I returned to Wudao Village from Tu Shou's house, it was already evening, and I definitely benefited a lot from this trip, not only seeing all kinds of precious antiques collected by Tu Lao, but also learning a lot of principles from him.
In fact, this is the key, Tu Lao don't look at him as a righteous person, but in fact, he knows how to deal with people better than anyone else, especially in this antique shop, he began to be an apprentice at the age of twelve, and until now, there have been more than 60 years, what do you not understand?
This kind of old antique truth is sometimes more effective than the six-character truth.
When Zhang Tianyuan was leaving, he invited Tu Lao to Shangpu to play, and Tu Lao said that he would definitely go, but it was not right now, and there were some things at hand that he couldn't get rid of.
When he returned to Wudao Village, Xu Gang was sitting with Snake Lin at the entrance of the village to tease the dog, it was a Tibetan mastiff that looked very beautiful, pure and impure Zhang Tianyuan didn't know the way, anyway, he didn't understand this, seeing Zhang Tianyuan back, Xu Gang and Snake Lin both greeted him, the Tibetan mastiff saw Zhang Tianyuan, it was a little kind, but unexpectedly Shenluo flew out of his arms and fought with the Tibetan mastiff, it seems that he doesn't want to have a "dog" to share Zhang Tianyuan's love for it, this little guy is quite selfish.
Seeing that an eagle and a dog didn't really have to fight, Zhang Tianyuan put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Why are you two still standing at the door, it's dark, are you afraid that I will be eaten by Tu Lao?"
"Nonsense, you have so many treasures on you, who doesn't worry?" Xu Gang scolded.
"Okay, okay, I've wronged you, let's go, go back, please have supper. Zhang Tianyuan smiled, patted Xu Gang and Seren's shoulders and said.
The kitchen of this Wudao Village is very exquisite, it is like the imperial dining room of the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the things made here are definitely not worse than those of five-star hotels, and may even be better.
Zhang Tianyuan invited two people to have supper in his room.
When the wine was drunk, Xu Gang asked Snake Lin: "Snake team, what are your plans in the future, you still have to be a jobless vagrant, I heard that you don't have a job now, you don't even have a girlfriend, what kind of life is it?" ”
"Gangzi, don't talk nonsense. ”
"It's okay, what he said is also true, I was discharged from the army for a period of time and simply didn't adapt to this society, went to be a security guard, and as a result, the thief was seriously injured, and then although he was commended, he was still fired, what is there here, I don't know the road, and I don't want to know the road, and then I went to be a driver, and I was injured by the unreasonable note, and I was locked up in the bureau for a long time, and I lost my job, and I was a bodyguard for the rich, and I was actually said by the other party's woman. She, I simply quit my job and quit working, until now, I have relied on the relief of a few comrades-in-arms to live. Serpentine sighed.
"Can you tell us what you used to do?" asked Xu Gang.
"This can't be said, it's a state secret. But I can tell you that it was a very brutal job, very bloody and violent, and I still have nightmares at night. Serpentine smiled bitterly.
"It's better like this, Snake Team, we're all familiar now, why don't you do it with us, just be a bodyguard, I have to have someone like you by my side in the future, don't think too much, just protect the safety of me and the things on my body." Zhang Tianyuan said suddenly.
"Well, this idea is good, this idea is good, Tian Yuan is now a local tyrant, with a net worth of tens of millions, please don't lose you as a bodyguard, it is estimated that you can make a lot of money in the future, you follow him, don't suffer." Xu Gang put down the chicken wings he was gnawing on and said.
"This ......"
"What are you hesitating about, just take it as a favor for me, we are friends of life and death, we have experienced danger together, I trust you very much, and I am afraid of being stabbed in the back if I am someone else." Zhang Tianyuan said.
To tell the truth, Snake Lin is really tempted, although his family has no burden, his parents rely on a few acres of land at home, and he can live very comfortably, he also has a brother who married a daughter-in-law early, and his family background is also good, he was a special soldier in those years, and he also sent back a lot of money to his family, which is enough.
But people may have to pursue a little, he is twenty-eight years old, he doesn't have a girlfriend yet, he can't even live a normal life, and he has to rely on the relief of his comrades, so he can't say anything.
If he followed Zhang Tianyuan, he believed that this person would not treat him badly, and he had been in contact for so long, what kind of person Zhang Tianyuan was, he could see it, after all, his eyes were the eyes of special forces.
The only thing he is a little entangled with now is Liu Mengxun, in fact, if he had to choose, he would prefer to be Liu Mengxun's bodyguard, but now it seems that there is little hope.
"Does the Snake Team have any other concerns?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.
Snake Lin hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "I won't tell you, Miss Liu once saved my life, I plan to repay the favor, if I make you a bodyguard, I ......"
"Ha, this is even more of a problem, can't you see it? Tian Yuan and Miss Liu are getting along, you are a bodyguard for Tian Yuan, that is to be a bodyguard for Miss Liu's boyfriend, are you afraid that you will not have a chance to repay your kindness in the future? No, Tian Yuan is going to go to Treasure Island recently, and you will definitely have to follow when the time comes, it is too simple to find a chance to repay the favor...... Or do you kid like Miss Liu too, that's why you don't want to ......," Xu Gang said with a smile.
"No, you misunderstood, I only have gratitude to Miss Liu, and there is absolutely no love between men and women, not to mention that she is not suitable for me. Serpentine shook his head and said.
"Isn't that what it is? In this way, if you become my bodyguard in the future, I will pay you a salary of 10,000 yuan a month, and if you are injured or make meritorious contributions, there will be another payment, how about it? Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
The reason why Zhang Tianyuan is so active in wanting Snake Lin to be his bodyguard is because he must have such a reliable person and loyal person by his side.
Now he is just getting involved in the antique business, and he has already encountered a lot of things, just like this time in the Imperial Mausoleum tourist area, if it weren't for the snake lin, then Muyi would have to fight with Zhang Tianyuan.
What's more, Zhang Tianyuan's ambition is by no means as simple as being an ordinary rich man, his antique empire is going to expand, to expand, it will inevitably face annexation or direct annexation, and there will be no fewer people offended, although this society is a society ruled by law, but who can guarantee that there are no people who take risks?
If there is a snake by your side to protect, the safety factor will inevitably be much improved.
It's not that he Zhang Tianyuan is timid, it's really that his life is expensive, he can't just throw it away, if he spends more than 100,000 yuan a year to make himself feel at ease, then why not?
"Snake team, we won't force you now, but you should know that Tian Yuan easily doesn't trust people, he can let you be his bodyguard, that is definitely a lot of trust in you, you weigh it yourself, there is no harm in this matter. And we believe you can do it well. Xu Gang said again.
Seren's heart is surging, but he is a cautious person after all, and he doesn't like to make decisions when his emotions are high, because once people are emotionally high, they are easy to ignore some things and may make irreparably wrong decisions.
So he didn't refuse, nor did he agree immediately, but said with a smile: "I have to discuss this matter with Phoenix, after all, I came out with her." ”
Zhang Tianyuan didn't know anything about Snake Lin yet, what to discuss with Blue Phoenix, it was just an excuse, he just wanted to calm down and think about it, so he didn't continue to say anything, and smiled: "Okay, then don't talk about it now, cheers!
The next day, because they were drunk at night, the three of them got up late, and when they got up to wash up and prepare to eat, Zhao Liangde came, saying that there were guests.
The guests were none other than Yang Yijun and his nephew Yang Zhao, and there was also a pair of acquaintances, that is, the old woman who bought the red sandalwood dragon head crutches and her granddaughter at the auction, but these two people Zhang Tianyuan couldn't name them.
Zhao Shenluo was still relatively polite to these people, and arranged for them to be entertained in a special tea hall for guests.
However, this attitude is far worse than treating Zhang Tianyuan, Zhang Tianyuan directly entered the "Imperial Palace" that only the Zhao family is qualified to enter, and these people can't.
At this time, Zhao Shenluo was talking with a few people, and it could be seen that his improvement was obviously getting better and better, and he had completely lost the sick appearance he used to have, and more importantly, after a few days of conditioning, he could no longer walk on his own without being helped.
As soon as he arrived at the teahouse, Zhang Tianyuan heard the old woman surprise again and again: "Boss Zhao, you are really a blessing, who will say that you are a sick man in the future, then my old woman will be anxious with him." ”
"Ha Luha, Aunt Zhu is polite, I just met a strange person. Zhao Shen Luo Ha said with a smile, this laughter was very neutral.
"Strange people, I wonder if my old woman is destined to meet me?"
It turns out that this old woman's surname is Zhu, called Zhu Ling, she is the eldest lady from an antique appraisal family, when the country was in turmoil, their family was also preserved, it can be said that from the Ming Dynasty to the present, the family background is very solid, this is a real aristocratic family, more cattle than the Liu family, and much more powerful than some so-called nobles abroad.
"Alas, it's a pity, the strange man is a strange person after all, and after curing the illness of the younger generation, he left, and he didn't even want a consultation fee. Of course, Zhao Shenluo is talking nonsense, mainly because Zhang Tianyuan once told him not to make a noise about this matter.
"Why don't I believe it?"
"Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't interfere with his existence. It's like some people who do dirty things, but think they are high, and they have no shame at all. Zhao Shenluo looked at Yang Yijun with a cold face, his attitude towards Yang Yijun was not as good as his attitude towards Zhu Ling, probably he didn't like such a person, and more importantly, Yang Yijun actually denied the existence of Zhang Tianyuan, which was the most intolerable thing for him.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, but fortunately, Zhang Tianyuan came in at this time, and the originally embarrassing atmosphere eased a lot in an instant.
"Brother Xian, these people are looking for you, saying that they have business matters to discuss. When Zhao Shenluo saw Zhang Tianyuan, he was kind, and he actually stood up directly from his seat, stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Tianyuan's arm and let him sit beside him.
