"Specially created by the Faberge family to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the construction of St. Petersburg, this 36-ounce artwork is wrapped entirely in white gold and set with 20 blue sè gemstones...... A fat jeweler in front of him wiped the sweat from his forehead and cautiously introduced: "Gently opened the eggshell, which hides a sculpture of the symbol of St. Petersburg." Miniature model of the "Bronze Horseman...... You see. "In front of me is a small Easter egg, a precious jewel from the Russian Tsarist royal family.

I looked at the small egg-sized artwork full of gems with satisfaction and smiled with satisfaction: "It's good, it's beautiful." ”

The jeweler breathed a sigh of relief, then struggled to put on a smile: "Mr. Chen...... Oh no, No, Fifth Master, although this Easter egg is not as precious as the ones in Southby's auction house, it is definitely the real Faberge family! You can find this 'Bronze Horseman' in the Faberge family's catalogue! After a pause, he looked at me cautiously again: "I don't know you bought this thing for ......"

I smiled and took a sip of tea: "Give it to my new wife as a wedding gift." The chubby jeweler had a complicated look in his eyes, and beads of sweat appeared on his fat face, so he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it clean, and then sighed: "If it is used as a wedding gift, then an Easter egg is very suitable." Historically, the Great Tsar has a record of giving Easter eggs to his beautiful wives as a symbol of love. There are several world-famous Easter eggs. It was made for this purpose. ”

I didn't speak, I just reached out and picked up the artwork on the table, its appearance was wrapped in a layer of shiny jewelry, placed on the velvet fabric, emitting a faint light, very elegant. The jeweler looked at me in distress and held the egg without gloves, but he didn't dare to speak. It was only after I put it down that he carefully picked it up with his gloved hand, then took out a small pair of tweezers, and gently wiped it a few times with a small piece of silk cloth.

"I'm happy with this thing. You make an offer. I leaned back on the couch and looked at the guy level.

The man in front of him is one of the owners of some of the most famous jewelry houses in Vancouver. Coincidentally, I had planned to buy a piece of jewelry as a wedding gift for Yan Di - as far back as I can remember, I had never given her any token of love.

But I don't want to buy anything like a diamond ring, I think that's too cheesy. It's also too uncreative.

As a result, the age periodontal gave me a good idea. The chubby jeweler in front of him, his family is in the jewelry business, and he has been in Vancouver for several generations. Although the business is not too big, there are some cherished collectibles.

In particular, I heard that he had an Easter egg hidden in his hand. This thing is a treasure, the legendary Russian jewelry family Faberge family handmade Easter eggs, each of which is worth 10,000 gold. It is a coveted collector's item for all jewelry lovers all over the world. Originally, although this jewelry merchant had a collection of "Bronze Horseman", it has not been publicized, so outsiders do not know.

But it was Bucktooth Period, I don't know through what channel, I learned that this jeweler had an Easter egg in his hand, so he told me. Easter eggs, a gift from the Russian Tsar to his wife, have always been used as a symbol of love. I gave my new wife such a gift, of course, it was the most appropriate.

If someone else comes to buy. Naturally, the jewelry merchant simply refused. Because he has no intention of giving up this thing...... But I'm different!

I'm now in Vancouver, a smuggling giant, a celebrity, and a gangster. The mayor, the councillors, and the high-ranking officials are all my guests. The other gangsters were all looking down on me. How dare a small jeweler offend me in such a situation?

I came to the door to ask for it, and he had no choice but to take out this treasure of the town store.

I just took one look and immediately fell in love with this thing! After the jeweler pinched his nose and introduced it, he was afraid that he would not like the best, but unfortunately he couldn't help it when he looked at my satisfied expression.

"This ...... Chen, well, five-five-five-five. He stammered. However, it was a little awkward for a foreigner to roll his tongue and call me "Fifth Master", and seeing his nervous appearance, I smiled and said, "Okay, you can call me Mr. Chen." I love this stuff. So, go ahead and set a price. ”

I don't really like to bully, but this thing is for my new wife, so he can't help but refuse to transfer it, and I just need to pay more. [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]

But the jeweler's owner was sweating profusely and speechless. As soon as my heart moved, I understood what he was thinking at the moment.

I know that this kind of art is certainly not less valuable. So the jeweler was a little afraid to make a price - if it was low, he was afraid that he would lose a lot. If you drive high...... Once it annoys me, I'm afraid it's even worse. Seeing that this person was embarrassed, I sighed and said gently: "I bought this thing as a wedding gift for my wife, so no matter how much you offer, I will definitely not embarrass you." It's a symbol of love, and love is priceless, isn't it? ”

When I said this, he sighed, hesitated, and whispered, "This...... Mr. Chen, I was absolutely not going to transfer this item, but ...... Well, let's do that, an Easter egg at Sotheby's auction house last year sold for $6.4 million. However, the quality of that egg is a little better than this one. So, I'm going to transfer this thing for six million dollars......"

Speaking of this, he looked at me with a blank eye, and his eyes involuntarily revealed a bit of pain - I know that this price is probably actually on the low side, but he doesn't dare to open a higher price.

I smiled, took out my checkbook, wrote a check for eight million dollars, and put it on the table: "I won't let you suffer, you can take this check, and count it as my money to buy this thing...... Well, I'm grateful for your willingness to transfer this thing to me. In this way, when I get married, I will send you an invitation. In the future, in Vancouver, if you have any trouble, you can come to me. Start today. You can tell people that you are my friend. ”

The fat man's eyes lit up, and he suddenly showed a little joy. You know, I'm almost in Vancouver right now! Just the name of my "fifth master" can almost walk sideways here. If this guy has a friendship with me, it will naturally be very beneficial in the future.

********************

Hammer and I walked out of the jewelry store. Looking at the time, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon. I got in the car – this is the Rolls-Royce I just ordered. Everything from the windows to the tires is bulletproof. After getting in the car, Xiao Zhu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, looked back at me: "Fifth brother, where are you going now?" ”

Xiao Zhu's original job was to take care of Uncle Seven, but after Uncle Seven passed away, I left him to Siro as an assistant. But this guy doesn't like business, and when I came back this time, he begged to be with me. I also lacked a clever man around me (Hammer is a stunned guy and can't drive), so I gave him permission.

"Didn't the little girl have any assessment in the afternoon? We went to check it out and then picked her up. ”

Then we drove to a public opera house in Vancouver. Xiao Xiaowu, that girl, was placed in a private middle school by me. And in order to cultivate this girl's temperament, and to grind off her wildness, it has been more than half a year. She had been ordered to study music - violin.

Speaking of this girl learning music, it really gave Yan Di a headache for a while. Started to let her learn to sing. I invited a vocal teacher from China who came to Canada for further study. As a result, the little girl's first music lesson scared away the private music teacher who was invited at a high price, and the teacher left a sentence before leaving: "As soon as she raised her voice, the she-wolf within a radius of ten kilometers came!" ”

Then let the little girl learn piano, but after learning a lesson, the teacher who had been a pianist in the Philharmonic Orchestra was shocked! In the end, they didn't even dare to collect the teaching fee and ran away. Before leaving, he left a sentence: "This son is like flowing water, and the antelope hangs its horns, and it is natural...... But none of the notes are in tune. If I continue to teach, I will feel sorry for the piano!

Then I thought of a way to let her learn the pipa, thinking that she couldn't become a piano master, and it should be very lovely to practice a little bit of the temperament of a classical beauty. For this reason, he invited a domestic pipa master at a high price, and it is said that he also worked in the zhōngyāng national orchestra. This time, the teacher didn't let her play directly, but taught her to talk about music first-the result was bad, and the first thing this girl said when she opened her mouth was to ask the teacher: "Teacher, do you know how to play eighteen touches?" "Angry with the teacher who still has the charm of the on the spot.

In the end, I don't know why, this little girl is obsessed with the violin, this time everyone is desperate for her, and she simply doesn't invite any professional teachers, and directly buys a few pianos for her, and then gets a lot of audio-visual materials, what videos, discs, etc., let her play at home by herself.

I've been gone for so long, and I don't know how she's learning now, but I heard that she was going to take an assessment today, and she just finished buying things and had nothing to do, so I just went over and took a look.

I drove to this opera house, although such an assessment, idle people are not allowed to enter. But these rules don't work for me. The hammer intentionally or unintentionally lifted the suit on his upper body, revealing the holster under his armpit, coupled with his meaty appearance, who would dare to stop us?

The staff was too frightened to speak, and Xiao Zhu had already pushed open the door of the inner field of the opera house and ushered me in.

In the infield of an opera house at Nuo University, the seats were empty, and only a few people were sitting in the first and second rows, thinking that they were examiners. I didn't say anything, I just walked over and sat at the very edge of the second row. Some of the examiners looked at me, probably a little surprised, but I didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded to them.

I looked mysterious, and I was wearing sunglasses, and several examiners didn't know what I was doing, so they hesitated, but no one said anything.

A strange white girl on stage was playing the violin, and I listened to it for a while, and I felt that this girl was playing well. Then I listened to a few children's performances, and they were all very skillful. And the little girl hasn't appeared yet, I can't help but feel a little impatient, and I can't help coughing.

The hammer was the most violent, and he walked directly to the front row and came to an examiner. Without speaking, he grabbed a list of exams on his desk, ignored the examiner's exclamations, and respectfully handed it to me.

I glanced at the list and numbers above, and the little girl was the second one behind. I glanced at the examiners in the front row. Some of them moved, and some stood up and looked at me. Probably seeing that I was an idle person, Huai Bei called me and asked me to leave.

I whispered to Xiao Zhu: "You go and tell them what to do." ”

Xiao Zhu nodded very smartly, walked over and whispered a few words to one of the examiners. With just a few words, the people in front of them suddenly fell silent, and some people swept their eyes with jealousy.

After sitting for a while and listening to a few student exams, the little girl finally appeared.

I couldn't help but be amazed to see a skinny figure come out of the background.

Regardless of her current piano skills, it is already very interesting to dress up in reality. Originally, her hair was thin yellow due to malnutrition. After half a year of brocade clothes and jade food, the rìzi has turned into a black hair like a waterfall, and after taking care of it. It looks like black satin, and the straight hair is soft on the side of the cheek. It's quite a bit soft and cute. A face is also very clean, with big eyes and a small mouth. Wearing a clean set of student uniforms and black sè leather shoes, he looks like a child from a very educated family. With a piano case in his hand, he walked to the stage and bowed to the examiner below.

Either way, it's kind of interesting

I couldn't help leaning back on the chair, ignoring the rules of the theater that no smoking was allowed, I lit a cigarette by myself, and watched the little girl on the stage open the piano box and take out the violin, and hugged it in my arms......

…… Well??

Wait a minute!

I almost fell to the ground with the cigarette in my fingers......

Violin in your arms?

Rubbing his eyes, that's right...... It's in your arms! One of the most standard erhu pulling postures!!

Just when I opened my mouth wide and didn't say anything, the little girl was already holding the piano pole with a solemn face and pulling it up......

A long, long note...... As she pulled two bars, I broke out in a cold sweat!

No doubt! I'm very familiar with this tune!!

This...... This is clearly the famous erhu solo "Erquan Reflecting the Moon!!

The examiners below are all gone, but there is Xiao Zhu standing next to him, and Xiao Zhu is afraid that he has already "mentioned" them just now, so no one dares to speak, they are all very strong and endure, and they all make an appearance of listening hard, just waiting for the little girl to finish the song......

Even if the little girl in the middle broke a few long notes, and when the entire opera house was rippling with a piercing sharp sound that could almost break the glass, the examiners in the row were all calm, and no one spoke.

Long......

Bang, bang, bang......

I stood up, took the lead in applauding, and at the same time gritted my teeth and commanded the hammer: "Remember, buy this girl an erhu when you go back!" ”

**************

on the car.

"How's my pull?" The little girl had a smug smile on her face.

I looked at her coldly, "You don't know the difference between the erhu and the violin, do you?" ”

"Of course I do." The little girl grimaced at me.

"Then why don't you learn the violin well?"

“…… Well, I saw a handsome guy in school who was learning the violin. The little girl said the reason unabashedly.

Well...... I see. I then asked, "Then why don't you study hard?" ”

"Cut...... Later I found out that the guy was pretty, but he was a sissy. The little girl pouted: "I'm too lazy to learn, but today's tune." I used to pull it. When I was in Kunming, there was an old man in our gang who used to play this song on the street with an erhu and beg. After a pause, she deliberately frowned and said, "However, in order to play this piece on the violin, I have tried for a long time." ”

......, I really don't know if this girl is smart or a bastard.

"Master, don't let me learn music, okay?" The little girl suddenly pounced on me, grabbed my arm and shook it a few times.

"What do you want to learn?" I looked at her.

"Learn the skill! Real skills! I want to learn from you, whether it's in business or being a boss. I want to learn all of this! The little girl looked at me seriously.

Actually, this Nizi is indeed smart, after following me to Vancouver. It only took me three months to learn English, and after I was put into that private middle school, I was worried that she would not be able to keep up with her studies because of language problems, but then I found out that ...... I'm totally overthinking! This girl has been rapping in English with a few black men for the third month!

"Master, are you really going to marry Sister Yan Di?" The little girl asked me suddenly.

"Hmm." I pulled out my cigarette. The little girl immediately came over and took out the lighter in the car and lit it for me, and begged at the same time: "Then can I ask you for something?" ”

"Say it."

The little girl's face was full of cunning: "After you get married." It's not convenient for me to live with you...... I don't want to be your newlywed light bulb...... You let me move out! I...... You can go to live with Boss Xiluo, or you can go to Lawyer Zhou...... Anyway, you can go anywhere, just don't let me live in your house. ”

I sneered: "You are so young, you want to learn to do things with Siro and Lawyer Zhou?" Not right now. But I muttered, "Since I have adopted you, I will not treat you badly." So be it...... In the future, when you are on vacation, you can go to Huaxing Company to go around. ”

The little girl pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "Alas...... When I was a child. Don't think I don't know, the businesses in Huaxing are just a façade for your real business. ”

How so? The more I feel that this girl really looks like me...... It's all about a restless thing in their bones. And she's really smart. I looked at her for a long time before I whispered, "Little girl." I'm going to teach you one more thing today...... You remember, what your master is doing is not very good now

Thing. But the general trend of this world is to want to become bigger and stronger. Then bleaching and moving closer to the mainstream is essential. Huaxing is still very small. But in the future, it will be the center of our business! Got it? ”

Looking at this girl, I suddenly felt that maybe this girl could really become very powerful in the future.

********************

My wedding was scheduled for August 2. The reason is simple...... Because August 2 rì is also my raw rì. This can be regarded as a double happiness.

I'm not Western, I'm not a Christian, so I don't have a priest or a vow or anything like that. But this is the West, and it is not very convenient to make it a completely oriental-style wedding. In the end, it was simply decided to throw a party with a cold food situation and invite some guests.

Although I have tried my best to control the influence, but when I get married, how can I not get married to the big and small gangsters in Vancouver? There are also official people, people from the jǐng side......

Finally, old Thorin said that he had not been in good health lately and could not travel, but he had sent a representative to congratulate me—his precious daughter, Her Royal Highness the Princess. I'm really depressed about this candidate. I hope that the princess of Yín Swing Wind Sāo will just stop making trouble for me. Another representative of Old Thorin is a young man named Allen, who is said to be the godson of Old Thorin!

If it weren't for the deal I made with Old Thorin and formed an alliance to support the princess in inheriting the cause of the Angels of Hell - Old Thorin originally had the intention of making this Eren the heir! It is said that this is a very powerful young man.

Although old Sorin did not come, he was very thoughtful, asked people specifically, and then according to the custom of the Chinese, he gave me a big gift: two racehorses that are said to have a certain noble blood in Europe! It also helps me to equip a horse trainer.

Ciro is even more exaggerated, and I don't know what method he used, but he actually invited a pastry chef from London, England to make a nine-layer cake for me to get married! It is said that this pastry chef served the British royal family! But I've seen the pastry chef look terrified - well, it can't be kidnapped by this kid Ciro, right?

As for Buck Periodon, this guy is the most stingy, and he actually gave me a box of condoms! I was so angry that I almost strangled this guy on the spot, but then he smiled strangely: "Boss, you paid my salary, and everything was given to me by you." Even if I give you a million gifts, it's just to give you back your money, what's the point? ”
