February 6, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Nearly half of the Spring Festival has passed, and the dim light is on again in the master bedroom on the second floor of Heshan Villa, which has been silent for more than a month, and Zhu Daolin, who has long hair fluttering, put down the mobile phone in his hand that has just been connected to the power cord, and muttered a few times in disorder, not knowing how to explain the reason for the delay to his parents after dawn.

Zhu Daolin, who was preoccupied, entered the wide bathroom, took off his robes and underwear, and looked carefully at the wide and bright makeup mirror on the bathroom wall, and found that he seemed to have changed a little in the mirror, his muscles were distinct, his body was stronger, and his slightly thin face was a little less powerful, a little more indescribable gentleness and maturity, and his complexion seemed to be a lot whiter.

Zhu Daolin opened the water heater valve with a feeling of not knowing whether to be happy or sad, and stood motionless under the hot mist of the water, until the reddened skin of his whole body was slightly hot from the hot water like a rain curtain, and then he began to wash his wet long hair unhurriedly.

Two hours later.

Zhu Daolin, who had dried his long black hair, walked out of the bathroom, changed into a white and warm warm autumn dress, put on a coffee-colored silk nightgown, carefully closed the sliding door of the wardrobe, walked to the study that connected the bedroom in front, and carefully put more than ten large and small wooden boxes neatly stacked on the carpet into the bottom cabinet of the bookcase, and the remaining two wooden boxes containing the Warring States Bronze Ding and the Yuan Dynasty Yunlong blue and white porcelain vase were too large and heavy, so they could only be moved to the foot of the wall and piled up, and then found a spare plain sheet and carefully covered it, closed all the cabinet doors and returned to the desk.

Looking at the two calligraphy and paintings of Tang and Song dynasty celebrities rolled up on the desk, a blue silk-bound pushback picture album, and a simple wooden box containing a complete set of Maoshan Shangqing school classics, Zhu Daolin pondered for a long time before sitting down.

The calligraphy and paintings brought back this time are all famous works of the Tang and Song dynasties, with a total of up to 15 pieces, and the twelve pieces of exquisite porcelain brought back are also rare treasures of the four official kilns of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

The two large wooden boxes piled up in the corner of the wall are even more remarkable, one contains a large three-legged beast pattern bronze tripod in the Warring States Period, and the other contains a large blue and white dragon cloud pattern porcelain jar used by the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty, the value is so high that even Zhu Daolin dare not estimate.

Zhu Daolin, who had a headache, took out the purchase list he had made before, looked at a few lines and suddenly put it down, picked up the three bank cards on the other side of the desktop and began to calculate:

There are still more than 74.5 million US dollars in the UBS card, and the balance in an ICBC savings card and a Great Wall card totals more than 45 million yuan, all of which are converted into RMB, and the total amount in the three cards is as high as 550 million.

For the first time in his life, Zhu Daolin was worried about more money, and for a while he really didn't know where to use this huge amount of money, if his parents were filial piety of 20 or 300,000, it didn't matter, more would definitely scare them, the villa is now there, and the lack of a good car will cost at most 1 million, and the rest will not be used up even if there are a few more material purchases.

The sky gradually brightened, and Zhu Daolin, who was sitting quietly at his desk and thinking for more than two hours, finally made a decision:

After going to work during the Spring Festival, 800 tons of H90 copper plates, copper strips and copper rods were purchased from metal sales companies and copper companies in the three surrounding cities in batches, and then gradually handed over to Bofu Qian Zhuang to mint copper coins in phases and batches, so that about 32 million yuan could be spent quickly, plus the estimated cost of 16 million yuan for this purchase, adding up to almost 50 million yuan.

As for the set of Shangqing classics on the table and this extremely precious pushback album, Zhu Daolin had already decided to hand it over to his mother, who believed in Taoism and served as the head of the religious affairs section, and the mother transferred it to the Shangqing Palace in Maoshan Mountain, and then through the relationship between the Shangqing Palace in Maoshan Mountain, he ordered three large gilded bronze statues of Sanqing, two large gilded bronze statues of Niangniang Niang, a large gilded bronze statue of the god of medicine, and a large gilded bronze statue of Bian Que, the god of medicine.

Zhu Daolin estimates that the six large gilt bronze statues cost about 5 million to 8 million yuan, for the Ziyang Temple that is being rebuilt, the modern advanced bronze statue casting technology is far better than the Ming Dynasty, only a complete set of advanced gilding technology, is not the Ming Dynasty craftsmen can match.

In terms of Taoist statue casting, today's Maoshan Sanqing Palace is the most authoritative, not only has a strictly selected designated manufacturer to serve itself for many years, but also often sends a special person to supervise the whole process during the casting of large statues.

Therefore, both the casting quality and the details of the bronze statue have the highest standards and the best guarantee, and there will be no big jokes about shoddy or even Zhang Guan.

The sound of the car downstairs interrupted Zhu Daolin's train of thought, he left the desk and walked to the window to open the curtains, just in time to see Chu Mei raise the window glass of the cab, slowly drive away, knowing that his return did not alarm Chu Mei, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

As for why Chu Mei stayed here on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, instead of spending the New Year in his hometown Longquan, Zhu Daolin really didn't know for a while.

Just after eleven o'clock in the morning, Zhu Daolin completed the revision of the procurement list, packed up the items on the desktop, changed into dark winter leisure sportswear, unplugged the mobile phone charging cable, glanced at the missed call record on it, put away the mobile phone and turned downstairs, walked out of the gate of the community to stop a taxi, and directly called his good brother Liang Cheng, smiled after the phone, and instructed the driver to drive to the time-honored hotel under Qixia Mountain.

The company's thriving good performance made Liang Zhu and his wife look much younger, and Chu Mei who followed was even more coquettish, her red face was full of smiles that could not be concealed, and her beautiful eyes contained the joy and comfort of reuniting after a long absence. also said that she was worried that something would happen to Zhu Daolin, she only stayed in her hometown for the New Year for a week, and left her hometown on the third day of the Lunar New Year to drive back and wait.

Zhu Daolin listened to Chu Mei's resentful words, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, so that he didn't dare to look at the affectionate beauty for more than ten minutes before the meal was served.
