Liu Lao smiled and waved his hand to say that there was no need for this, and Liu Qinshu continued with a smile: "Achen, look at the gift I prepared for you." ”

"Okay."

With Liu Lao's gift as the foundation, Chu Chen was also full of curiosity about Liu Qinshu's gift, and when he opened the box, he saw that there was a jade ornament inside.

The ornaments are made of Khotanese white jade seed material, which looks like the jade is warm and moist, the jade is fine, the ice is clean and flawless, and there is no dust, which can be called the best, and the value of the jade can not be low.

Of course, good jade also has good carving, jade uses jade skin to skillfully carve red dates and longan, and the rest is carved with peanuts and lotus seeds, these fruits look lifelike, if not the color and reality are some differences, it is completely and really no different, which shows the exquisite skills of the author.

Generally speaking, there is a traditional custom of Chinese weddings, putting some red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds on the marriage bed (that is, "jujube sheng guizi"), which means "early", "born", "expensive" and "son", which is a good luck through guò homonym. And this jade ornament obviously represents this meaning.

"Achen, I wish you an early birth to a noble son!" Liu Qinshu said with a smile.

"Uh-huh!" Chu Chen coughed lightly, nodded solemnly, and said, "Definitely, definitely!" ”

Seeing Chu Chen's serious appearance, Liu Qinshu smiled and joked a few words, Chu Chen couldn't resist, so he could only make a haha, drawing everyone's attention to the other statue.

After Liu Lao saw this statue, he also felt that it was a pity, the statue could still be played, but the wrong maintenance method still damaged it. This couldn't help but make him scold a sentence of "tyrannical things".

Next, we chatted for a while. Then Chu Chen said goodbye and went back.

…………

On Saturday, Chu Chen's family was in addition to Chu Yongning, who was busy with official business. The others, as well as Uncle Wu's family, came to Chu Chen's newly renovated courtyard together, ready to decorate it and welcome tomorrow's guests.

Chu Chen's courtyard house is located deep in an alley, and the door does not look big, which will make it easy for first-time visitors to miss it.

But such an external environment is just in line with Chu Chen's low-key style, and it also makes the entire courtyard very quiet. When night comes, except for the chirping of summer cicadas, you can hardly feel that you are in a modern city at this moment. Don't say Chu Chen likes such an environment. Zhao Heyan and others are also very satisfied with this.

Don't look at the door face is not big, after entering the door, you will find that there is a cave here, and the courtyard is magnificent, which makes Uncle Wu's family who came here for the first time feel a little like Grandma Liu is visiting the Grand View Garden. In fact, to put it simply, this courtyard house has only a few houses, a bamboo forest, a vegetable patch, and a mini garden with a small lake and rockery......

Everyone entered through the Momofuku screen at the entrance and the stone toad pier hiding behind it. Passing through a few clumps of bamboo, and walking along the narrow cloister to the central courtyard, the eyes suddenly opened up. Two sky-high jujube trees, a few magnolias, and two weeping elms surround the table and chairs under the parasols, which looks idyllic.

And that's not all. When Chu Chen led everyone to the mini garden across the wall, the extremely beautiful scenery made everyone deeply intoxicated.

I saw that both sides of the corridor were planted with all kinds of cleverly matched flowers and trees. There are also pavilions and rockeries with unique shapes and full of ancient charm. What is even more eye-catching is a lotus flower in the middle of the small lake that occupies most of the territory.

About lotus. Yang Wanli in the Song Dynasty has a very vivid poem: "After all, in the middle of June in the West Lake, the scenery is not the same as the four seasons, the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red." ”

Although there is no wind lotus in the courtyard of the West Lake, it also has a unique charm, only to see these green and pink lotus flowers spread out like a carpet in front of you, with a breeze blowing, as if swaying and dancing brilliantly, at the same time, a light and far-reaching fragrance wafts in the air, which makes people intoxicated.

Subsequently, Chu Chen took everyone to stroll on the designer's unique nine-curved bridge, which immediately reminded them of Zhu Ziqing's "lotus pond", the water area with lotus, as if it was a blanket with green pink flowers on the lake, and those lotus flowers were like a hundred hibiscus fairies standing in the sky, dancing in the blue leaves, which was so beautiful that people were intoxicated.

After enjoying the beautiful scenery, Chu Chen took the people who lingered and forgot to return to visit the various rooms of the courtyard. The decoration here belongs to the neoclassical style, and some young elements are added to the classical, which looks vibrant, but because of the designer's ingenious design, it is perfectly combined with the theme of the courtyard, and everyone is full of praise when they see it.

Because there were so many rooms, everyone just walked around, but even so, after all the places were visited, it was already noon.

When the group came to the living room, Sister-in-law Ji served tea to everyone first, and told everyone with a smile that they would be ready to eat soon. As soon as she left, Chu Yulan pulled Wu Ke out with her, saying that she wanted to see what she had made today.

Uncle Wu looked around at the layout of the living room, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Chen, the design of your mahogany furniture is good, and the quality of the mahogany is also very good, where did you get these objects from?" ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's Senior Brother Yi's friend who has opened a new furniture factory, specializing in high-end furniture, and he recommended it to me last time, I thought it was good, so I ordered a batch." If you want, I will give you the sample book of their factory in a while, and I will let them do what you want. ”

Uncle Wu waved his hand and said, "Those furniture at home are emotional, so you don't need it, I asked for Lao Zhao." ”

Chu Chen said clearly: "Oh, it's for the renovation of his son's new house, right?" ”

Uncle Wu said with a smile: "Yes, the day before yesterday he asked me, is there a reliable high-end mahogany furniture factory, I am a porcelain business, and I don't have much contact with furniture, how can I know this?" ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "I have to deal with the museum in the past few days, and that booklet can only be brought to him by you." ”

"No problem."

"However, Uncle Zhao has been in business for so many years, don't you know a reliable mahogany furniture factory?" After all, Zhao Xueyi is a veteran broker in the antique market in Beijing, how can he not know a mahogany furniture factory? Chu Chen felt that this matter was a little strange.

Uncle Wu replied: "How can I not know it, the key is that someone won't let him buy it." ”

"Don't let him buy it? Why? Chu Chen was very surprised when he heard that this was the reason.

Uncle Wu said with some anger: "Do you remember that Lao Zhao was broken last year? ”

"Yes." Chu Chen said that he knew, and then said a little strangely: "Isn't this already over?" At that time, Uncle Zhao also found them a piece of utensils that was even better than the original, and it was still a 20% discount, which was enough, right? ”

"Isn't that it?"

Uncle Wu said: "A few days ago, Lao Zhao went to a friend he knew who specialized in high-end mahogany furniture and wanted to ask him how many pieces of mahogany furniture to buy, but he happened to meet Lin Laosan. At that time, although Lao Zhao was a little embarrassed, he greeted him politely, he said that Lin Laosan didn't say anything at the time, but after he went back, his friend actually told him that the furniture could not be sold to him, what do you call it? ”

When Chu Chen heard that this was the case, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Did Uncle Zhao ask what's going on?" ”

Uncle Wu sneered: "Of course I asked, he said that Lin Laosan asked him not to sell it, and threatened him that if he sold it to Lao Zhao, his factory would not be opened." And Lin Laosan also told Lao Zhao's friend that he couldn't buy a piece of mahogany furniture for Lao Zhao. ”

"That's too much, isn't it?"

When Chu Chen heard this, he felt that this Lin Laosan was too arrogant, of course, Lin Laosan's warning was also a big joke, did he think he was the king of heaven?

"What's going on?"

Seeing that her son's face was not very good, Zhao Yunlin hurriedly asked. Afterwards, Chu Chen told his mother what had happened.

Zhao Yunlin listened to what happened, and said with disdain: "It turned out to be Lin Laosan, just with his little belly chicken intestines, it is completely possible to do this." However, he will inevitably lose face to our old Zhao family by doing this, you ask Zhao Xueyi to buy it from his friend, I see how Lin Laosan dares to stop him! ”

This matter was originally over under Zhao Qirui's mediation, and now Lin Laosan is doing this, isn't it just not giving Zhao Qirui face! What's more, the relationship between their Lin family and the Zhao family is not bad, Lin Laosan's behavior is strict, that is, the Lin family is ready to part ways with the Zhao family, how can Zhao Yunlin not be angry?

"Okay, I'll call Uncle Zhao right away." After speaking, Chu Chen took out his mobile phone and called Zhao Xueyi.

"Xiaochen, is there anything good?" Zhao Xueyi's laughter came from the phone.

"That's a good thing." Chu Chen smiled, and then told Zhao Xueyi about the matter.

When Zhao Xueyi heard that this was the case, he was a little ashamed and said: "This matter is really troublesome to you, but will this cause trouble to your family?" ”

Chu Chen said: "Uncle Zhao, don't worry, there is nothing troublesome about this matter." Besides, he didn't preach morality in the first place, so how could he settle accounts for things that had already been settled? Doing this is not taking my uncle seriously at all! ”

"In addition, tell your friend that if this matter brings him any trouble and loss, I will be responsible for handling it."

"Okay, I'll bring it."

Zhao Xueyi hurriedly agreed, Chu Chen said this, it was completely to provide a friend with a chance to hug his thigh, even if it was a big trouble for a while, there would be no problem if he wanted to come to his friend's side.

"By the way, how is your friend's conduct?"

"He has a good personality, and this time he can't twist his arms and thighs, and I don't blame him. And he came to my house with a gift afterwards and apologized to me. ”

"That's good......"

Next, the two talked a few more words, and finally Chu Chen asked him not to forget to come to him tomorrow, and hung up the phone. (To be continued......)
