Chapter 144: A Small Gathering

In fact, Liu Dong intersected with Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong, the children of the family, in addition to their temperament and getting along with each other, Liu Dong also had the purpose of weaving his own network in his heart.

Having worked alone in society for three years, Liu Dong deeply understands the importance of relationships for personal development in this society.

Especially after he offended Han Lei and Zhong Zhen, who are from deep families, Liu Dong, who is from a mountain village and has a shallow foundation, wants to protect himself from harm, so he needs to borrow strength. And Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong are the best targets.

Of course, these thoughts are hidden in the deepest part of Liu Dong's heart, and they are never revealed in front of others.

Long Lao's Taiyi Pavilion was originally very close to Li Lao's Agarwood Pavilion, so it took less than ten minutes in the middle, and the two of them had already invited Long Lao, who was lying in the small courtyard to rest, after finishing his work.

However, when they returned, pushed open the back door of Li Laoxiao's courtyard and walked in, they quickly heard Li Yuncong's shouting in the house.

You don't have to guess to know that this guy must be very envious of Liu Dong for picking up a big leak again.

"This kid! From the first time I saw him, I knew he wasn't a peaceful one! After Long Lao pushed the door in, he couldn't help but shake his head and say when he heard Li Yuncong's noisy voice.

"Hehe, Uncle Long, Brother Li's name is pure heart, I would rather make friends with people like Brother Li than those who are very thoughtful!"

After hearing this, Zhou Bin also nodded and said, "This kid is quite cute at this point!" ”

As the three of them spoke, they walked along the stone road in the small courtyard into Li Lao's house, and at this time, in the living room, which was still spacious, two square tables had been placed together, and they were full of dishes that had been prepared, exuding an attractive fragrance. Let Liu Dong secrete the saliva in their mouths rapidly.

"Mother Wu, your craftsmanship is really good, this color and fragrance, um!" Liu Dong sniffed deeply with an intoxicated face, and then said with a smile: "Compared to the chef of the hotel, it is not bad at all!" ”

Listening to Liu Dong's praise, Wu's mother, who was more than half a hundred years old, narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Hehe, don't you dare to compare with others, what I do here is just a little home-cooked food!" You sit down with the old man first, I still have a chicken soup that hasn't been served! ”

As she spoke, after wiping her hands on her apron, Wu's mother walked out quickly.

"Xiaodong, you guy haven't seen him for more than an hour, and he found a treasure again, three million, why don't I have such luck!" Hearing the sound outside, Li Yuncong rushed out of the study quickly, looking at Liu Dong and couldn't help but complain loudly with envy.

Hearing this, Old Man Long turned to look at Liu Dong who was standing behind him, and couldn't help but ask with a little surprise on his face: "Xiaodong, did you pick up the leak again?" ”

"Yes, a bronze gilt statue of Sakyamuni Buddha in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Mr. Li will give an estimate of three million after reading it!" Zhou Bin, who was standing beside Liu Dong, responded with envy.

After listening to his words, the look of surprise on Old Man Long's face became even thicker, and then he shook his head and said with a smile: "Xiaodong, it seems that your ability in antique appraisal and collection is no worse than your ability to make carving!" It's only been a few days, and you've picked up three or four big leaks! If it were for ordinary people, you might not have such a chance in your life! ”

"Uncle Long, that's as much as you just said. During this time, only the Kangxi pastel snuff bottle and this Northern Wei Buddha statue were leaked by me, and the imitation of Huang Binhong's "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was just an unexpected joy! It's not like I'm picking it up! ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuncong, who was standing on the side, said sourly: "This doesn't count? You guy is really cheap and sells good ......! ”

But before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head by the old man Li who came out of the study, and reprimanded: "Picking up leaks is also Xiaodong's ability, what's the use of envy." If you want to pick up the leak, learn it for me! Don't think about those useless things all day long! ”

Facing this grandfather who watched him grow up since he was a child, Li Yuncong hugged his head and muttered: "Old man, don't hit me in the head, it's okay, how smart is it, and if you beat it again, it will be even more stupid!" ”

"Hehe, haha......!" Seeing Li Yuncong's deflated face, everyone couldn't help but laugh softly.

And after listening to Li Yuncong's words again, Li Lao couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, this kid looked quite well-behaved when he was a child, but what he didn't expect was that the bigger he was, the more he didn't have a proper shape.

But fortunately, his heart is not bad, and he also knows how to respect his teacher. Although he is now twenty-five or sixteen years old, he still looks like he is not high or low. However, there are many grandchildren of the third generation of the Li family, and there are also many outstanding generations, which is enough to support the future development of the Li family. Therefore, Li Yuncong, who has no intention of career and military service, will be resigned.

"Yun Cong, have you got all the jade back?" At this time, Zhou Bin asked with a hint of eagerness on his face.

As soon as he said this, Li Yuncong immediately regained his vitality, and the expression on his face began to become excited, "Hehe, it's all back!" It's in the old man's study! ”

"Let's go, let's go!" Compared with eating, it is obvious that Liu Dong's nine pieces of jade are much more attractive in Zhou Bin's eyes.

As he spoke, the two of them who found a common language walked quickly into Li Lao's study.

"Old Dragon, why don't you go over and have a look? You must know that the jade that Xiaodong has solved, but there are several pieces of high-end jade that are very good. At this time, looking at the unmoved Old Man Long, Li Lao couldn't help but quip.

"Let them go and see it, it's all Xiaodong's stuff anyway, if I want to see it, when will it not work?" Uncle Long was not fooled.

"Hehe, you old fellow ......!" Old Li smiled, and lightly tapped Old Man Long with his right index finger, "Okay, let them go and see, let's sit down and eat first, otherwise this dish will be cold!" ”

"Okay, eat first, Xiaodong, you can sit too!"

After listening to Uncle Long's words, Liu Dong watched the two old men sit down before sitting down under Uncle Long.

"Oh, yes! Forget one thing, you guys do it first, I'll go get something! With that, Li Lao stood up and walked into the bedroom near the left.

And after Li Lao left, only Uncle Long and Liu Dong were left next to the dining table in the living room.

"Xiaodong, didn't you tell me some time ago that you want to find a place to open a wood carving shop in the antique city? Now I've got a place for you! At this time, Li Lao suddenly spoke.

"Really, thank you, Uncle Long!" This was really an unexpected surprise for Liu Dong.

After three years in the antique city, he knew that the shops here were real rarities. As early as when the renovation of the antique city had just been completed, all the shops in it had already been sold, and there was not a single one left until now.

Especially in recent years, as the folk antique collection has become more and more popular, the shops in the antique city have become more and more demanding.

Therefore, according to Liu Dong's plan, it would take at least several months, or even a year and a half, to find a suitable shop and open his own wood carving and jade carving shop.

Unexpectedly, it has only been more than a week now, and Uncle Long has already found the shop.

"Thank you, are you still so away from me?" After listening to his words, Old Man Long pretended to be angry on his face.

"Hehe, Uncle Long, I was wrong, it was my mistake!" Liu Dong hurriedly sold a good job.

"Uncle Long, where is the shop? I'll just go over and have a look after dinner! ”

After listening to Liu Dong's words, although Old Man Long still had a smile on his face, a trace of sentimentality flashed in his eyes, his thin hands were placed on his thighs, and he looked at the bright sunshine outside the house and said softly: "It's my Taiyi Pavilion!" ”
