The car stopped in front of the small courtyard of Zhou Lao, the provincial agricultural university.

Nie Yun and Tian Zhen got out of the car, and even followed down with charcoal balls, and the two of them walked into Zhou Lao's small courtyard. At this moment, it was just half past five, it was dusk, and the orange sunset shone into the small courtyard of Zhou Lao, leaving orange spots on the bluestone slab ground through the lush flowers and trees. The whole courtyard exudes a sense of tranquility and tranquility.

Walking on the bluestone slab in the small courtyard, Nie Yun unconsciously slowed down.

Even the charcoal ball, at the moment, is just tiptoeing around, occasionally curiously looking at this and that, but not whining.

In the small courtyard, in front of the main house, Zhou Lao and Zhao Jianhong sat on both sides of a stone table, on which a chess board was placed, and some chess pieces were scattered on the chessboard. Obviously, after Zhao Jianhong had dinner with his friends in the provincial capital, he first went to Zhou Lao's courtyard to play chess with Zhou Lao to pass the time.

At this moment, Zhao Jianhong picked up a chess piece, frowned, and put it down, obviously not knowing which step to take.

In comparison, Zhou Lao is much more leisurely, with a calm demeanor and a bamboo in his chest.

A fat flower cat squatted at Zhou Lao's feet, squinting his eyes, and when he heard someone coming, he immediately pricked up his ears and opened his eyes.

"Meow!" Seeing the charcoal ball, the cat's hair stood on end and meowed.

"Woohoo!" Seeing this flower cat, the charcoal ball also came to the spirit, and a crisp and loud barking sound came out of his mouth.

Hearing the cry of the charcoal ball, Zhao Jianhong was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked towards Nie Yun.

"Brother Zhao is so interested, he has been playing chess with Zhou Lao here for a long time, it seems that we are late this time......" Nie Yun smiled slightly and said to Zhao Jianhong.

"It's not too late, hehe," Zhao Jianhong showed a little smile on his face, "It's just that this guy with the charcoal ball just now has to scream and mess up my thinking, it seems that this game is going to lose again." If you don't go down, you can't go down, it's going to be dark soon, Old Zhou, let's withdraw the chessboard and go to the house first? Zhao Jianhong suggested to Zhou Lao.

"If you can't get down to me, don't make excuses!" Zhou Lao smiled at Zhao Jianhong, "Well, it's dark, and you can't see it clearly, so let's go inside first." Nie Yun, I'll hide that old golden cinnamon for you first, and then take it out when you have all the people in a while. Although I asked them to come at seven, I guess they will be there at half past six! ”

As he spoke, Zhou Lao picked up the chess pieces on the stone table one by one, put them in a small box, closed the wooden chessboard, and took the lead in walking towards the house.

Nie Yun and a few people followed Zhou Lao to the house, only to see that Zhou Lao also had a lot of bonsai in the living room.

However, these bonsai in the living room are basically based on landscape bonsai, and there are relatively few stump bonsai, and the only few pots are also some shade-loving plants.

Among these bonsai, there are even miniature bonsai that can only be grasped, and the design is very exquisite, which is a fine product.

"Zhou Lao's bonsai collection has opened the eyes of the younger generations!"

While observing these bonsai, Nie Yun exclaimed.

"Hehe, it's all mortal, it's nothing. Some of them were bought at a high price and put there to make a decoration, but there were a few pots, which I bought from the bottom price of the flower and bird market outside and took care of them slowly. That old golden cinnamon is one of them! Zhou Lao said.

"Come on, come on, Lao Zhao, Nie Yun, try the kung fu tea I made old man!"

Zhou Lao said, he had already found a set of tea sets, connected to hot water, cleaned it first, found a small box of tea leaves, and brewed kung fu tea.

Nie Yun knows very little about the tea ceremony, but that doesn't mean that Nie Yun won't drink it. Good tea and bad tea, drinking Nie Yun with his mouth can still taste it roughly. Zhou Lao is extremely skillful in making tea, and his movements are done in one go, with his own charm, but in a moment, a small cup of tea has been placed in front of Nie Yun.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip gently, the aroma was full of it, and Nie Yun couldn't help but praise the good tea.

Drinking tea here, it was just a quarter of an hour's work, and in the small courtyard of Zhou Lao, a series of footsteps came steeply.

"Old man Zhou, I heard that you are going to sell a high-quality cinnamon this time? It can't be your dragon claw old golden cinnamon, right? Why don't you call me? ”

A young man's voice came from the courtyard into the living room.

This voice Nie Yun is very familiar, it is his best friend, Liu Junwei!

As soon as the words fell, Liu Junwei also walked into the living room, Liu Junwei at this moment, dressed in a casual suit, with a pair of gold-framed eyes on the bridge of his nose, and his hairstyle was also meticulously combed. Seeing Liu Junwei at this moment, a word immediately popped up in Nie Yun's mind - pretending to be b.

"Liu Junwei? Is that you, kid? ”

Seeing Liu Junwei coming in, Zhou Lao immediately called out his name, obviously Zhou Lao had also been in contact with Liu Junwei before.

"Your son Liu Zhong is a member of our Provincial Bonsai Association, but you kid is not, why do you call you? Besides, this time it was a little hasty, I estimated that Lao Liu would not be able to spare time, so I didn't call him. What are you doing here? Zhou Lao said to Liu Junwei, "Come and sit, drink tea for a while, and when the next people arrive, I will show you osmanthus!" ”

Liu Junwei walked to the sofa beside Nie Yun with a grin, and sat down: "Hehe, Old Man Zhou, you don't know this time, Nie Yun and I are brothers who have died, even if you don't inform me, I also know that you have good things to sell here, so don't you come here!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Junwei also stretched out his arm and grabbed Nie Yun's shoulder.

"You know Brother Nie Yun?" Hearing Liu Junwei's words, Zhou Lao was stunned and glanced at Nie Yun.

"College classmates, the relationship is better!" Nie Yun smiled, his shoulders shook slightly, and Liu Junwei's arm naturally slid down, "Okay Weizi, don't make trouble, I'll introduce you, Brother Zhao Jianhong." This is Tian Zhen, my niece, and a neighbor of my hometown. ”

Nie Yun introduced Zhao Jianhong and Tian Zhen to Liu Junwei.

Although Liu Junwei followed his father Liu Zhong to meet Zhou Lao, he was not very familiar with Zhao Jianhong, and when he heard Nie Yun's introduction, Liu Junwei also hurriedly nodded and shook hands with Zhao Jianhong. When Tian Zhen was introduced, Liu Junwei was a sight to behold.

"Damn, Nie Zi, okay, playing gold in the countryside? This girl has dumped Li Xiaoli for eight streets, Nie Zi, you have vision! ”

Gently leaning into Nie Yun's ear, Liu Junwei said in a low voice.

"Xiao Zhen, call Uncle Liu!" Nie Yun ignored Liu Junwei and said directly to Tian Zhen.

"Uncle Liu." Tian Zhen shouted to Liu Junwei a little shyly.

"Eh, good, good," Liu Junwei also smiled at Tian Zhen twice, and then quickly came to Nie Yun's ear: "Nie Zi, you have a heavy taste!" ”

"Alright, tea!" At this time, Zhou Lao had already taken out a small teacup and poured it for Liu Junwei, Nie Yun quickly took the teacup to Liu Junwei, and forced Liu Junwei to sit down obediently.

"Damn, Nie Zi, you're not kind, aren't you just looking at your girl? This time, brother, I brought 3 million here, and I will definitely help you raise the price later! Liu Junwei said to Nie Yun in a low voice.

"Hahaha......"

And at this time, a hearty laugh came from outside the small courtyard.

"Is the old money coming?"

Hearing this laughter, Zhou Laodu hurriedly stood up, and Zhao Jianhong also got up immediately and walked towards the door of the living room with Zhou Lao. Liu Junwei also quickly shut up and gave Nie Yun a look, the two got up, and Tian Zhen both walked towards the door of the living room.

As soon as I walked to the door of the living room, I saw an old man in his seventies walking into the small courtyard, this old man was not tall, his hair was also snow-white, his body was slightly fat, he was wearing a red Tang suit, black cloth shoes under his feet, he walked with a straight waist, and his small belly was slightly bulging, but he looked magnificent.

"Nie Yun, this guy's name is Qian Yong, like Zhou Lao, he is the vice president of the Ludong Bonsai Association, and he is also very famous in the national bonsai industry, known for his eyesight, and can distinguish various flower strains. It is...... The character is not good! Liu Junwei whispered in Nie Yun's ear.

Nie Yun glanced at this Qian Yong, this Qian Yong's face was full of smiles, but he had the air of a philistine, which was completely different from Zhou Lao's elegance.

"Old Qian, you can come here, my small courtyard is shining!" At this time, Zhou Laozao took a step forward and bowed his hand to this old man Qian Yongqian.

"Don't dare, don't dare," this old man Qian Yong also returned the courtesy.

"Lao Zhou, Yao Laosan and Lao Wu today, I have informed them, they know that they can't rob me, so they simply won't come. Lao Zhou, your old golden cinnamon, my old money is bound to win! This old man Qian has a confident expression.

"Lao Wu and Lao Yao are not coming?" Hearing Qian Yong's words, Zhou Lao couldn't help frowning.

This time, Nie Yun shot Lao Jingui, and Zhou Lao called several flower friends with whom he had a good relationship, hoping that these people would come over to raise the price. Unexpectedly, before these people came, Qian Yong sent two away, which more or less made Zhou Lao a little unhappy.

"Huh? Lao Zhao, are you here too? ”

And it was at this time that Qian Yong saw Zhao Jianhong behind Zhou Lao again.

"Hehe, last time you bid me 5,000 for that Sijigui, and some time ago I asked you Qiao County juniors to buy it, 50,000 yuan! When I took it from me, I was so happy that I thought I had made a big deal...... Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao, in the flower bonsai industry of Qiao County, this bit of eyesight is really debatable......" Seeing Zhao Jianhong, Qian Yong laughed.

Zhao Jianhong's face froze, obviously Qian Yong's words were also very unpleasant.

"Lao Zhou, the people who should come here are here, and the people who shouldn't come are probably not coming, let's go into the house and talk about the price?" After talking to Zhao Jianhong, Qian Yong turned his gaze to Zhou Lao again and said.

"Old man Qian's words, do you mean that I shouldn't come?"

But at this time, a crisp young woman's voice came from the gate of the small courtyard.

Hearing this woman's voice, everyone was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the door. And Nie Yun's heart moved, and he quickly looked up, only to see a woman with a slender figure and a long black dress slowly walking into the small courtyard. And while seeing this woman's appearance clearly, Nie Yun's heart couldn't help but be slightly shocked, and a thought also popped up in his mind.

Is it her?
