Chapter 116: Brother

Zhuang Runqing laughed and said, "Let's not praise each other here, there are still some good works over there, let's go over and have a look?" ”

said that he took the lead and walked forward, "There are also some works whose auction prices are too high, forming a situation where there is no market for them, and they are retained, especially jade carvings." Therefore, what remains is the fine art of jade carving, which is very worth seeing. ”

Li Jingshan looked at Zhuang Runqing's smile like Miller, and thought to herself, this is a character who can talk about the sky alive.

A few people watched the other exhibits in the main hall, and sure enough, most of them were high-quality products. In particular, several groups of jade carvings, whether it is jade color or design and carving, all make Li Jingshan breathtaking, which can be described as ingenious.

This observation made Li Jingshan full of expectations and yearning for future learning. The craftsmanship and technology inherited from more than 100 years of accumulation is the foundation of Jingbao Pavilion and its charm.

While Lai Thanh Shan was immersed in the exquisite collection and exquisite craftsmanship of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, Nguyen Minh Yu was returning from the shop to the annex. He knew that Li Jingshan would go back to Tianqiao Hall today, but he was still thinking about whether he could meet her at noon and have lunch together.

However, destined to be disappointed, the two siblings went out. He stood in the courtyard for a moment, sighed for a long time, and was about to order the kitchen to eat, Ruan Shu came in to report, Ruan Liang came over from the second young master's courtyard, saying that the second young master had prepared wine and food in the other courtyard, and asked him to come over to talk about it.

Ruan Mingyu's second brother Ruan Mingyu, although he is two years older than Ruan Mingyu, has never set foot in the business world and is only obsessed with reading. The year before last, he just passed the second-class Jinshi, and last year he entered the Hanlin Academy. His teacher, Li Gelao, a scholar of Hanlin, appreciated him so much that he even gave his youngest daughter to this proud protΓ©gΓ©.

It is said that Ruan Mingyu returned to Beijing, and he had not been able to see his two elder brothers, so he hurriedly instructed the courtyard to send two baskets of fresh melons and fruits that he had just obtained in the morning, and he changed his robe and went to his other courtyard to watch the moon pavilion.

The two houses are only a few blocks apart. When Ruan Mingyu arrived, Ruan Mingye was already waiting at the door, and when he saw his younger brother coming, he personally greeted him, touched the neck of the blue horse, and made love to the horse.

"I heard from the mansion that you have been back for two or three days, but I can't wait for you to come to me." Ruan Mingye handed the reins to the servant behind him, and led Ruan Mingyu to the courtyard, "I know that your noble person is busy, so I have to send someone to invite you in person." ”

Ruan Mingyu hurriedly smiled, "Second brother made fun of it." It's the younger brother who did something wrong. Later, at the wine table, you should make amends. ”

Ruan Mingye lightly punched him in the shoulder socket, and laughed: "Come on, I can't drink you in terms of the amount of alcohol." You're just greedy for my jade building here. ”

Ruan Mingyu also took advantage of the situation and smiled, "Our brothers haven't seen each other for a few years, and now that we are reunited, we are just greedy for a few glasses of wine, how can the second brother still care?" I also said that our buddies should get drunk and take a break. ”

"If you want to fight for wine, you can find your eldest brother, don't count me." Ruan Mingye waved his hand and poured Ruan Mingyu a cup of tea, "Taste, this is sent by Xiao Rutuo, and others are filial to Li Ge Lao's new Dongting Cuiyanluo." Is it okay to drink? ”

Li Ge was always a famous Confucian in the Dalang Dynasty, and he once worshipped the prince and the prince. Although he is now focusing on studying in the Hanlin Academy, there are still many protΓ©gΓ©s in the court. He was very fond of Ruan Mingye, and he also gave his young and female Xu to the second young man of the Ruan family, who was born in a businessman, and it was the "Xiaoru" that Ruan Mingye said - Li Wanru.

"Oh, thank you for the tea." Ruan Mingyu said a joke in his mouth, hurriedly took it with both hands, took a deep breath on the tip of his nose first, squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "The aroma is clear, mellow as Zhilan, and it smells good." ”

"I knew you were going to drink." Ruan Mingye smiled, "It's a pity that I don't get much, otherwise I can pack some for you to take back." ”

"What the second sister-in-law gave you, I don't dare to take away my love." Ruan Mingyu took a sip of tea, tasted it carefully, and asked, "You were engaged at the end of last year, when do you plan to officially welcome your relatives?" ”

Ruan Mingye put down the teacup and shook his head, "Last year, my wife was seriously ill, and Xiaoru and I hurriedly set up a marriage, I wanted to give her the old man Chong Chong joy, but I didn't expect her to go at the beginning of this year." Now Xiaoru is in the filial piety period, and this marriage will have to be discussed in three years. ”

When Ruan Mingyu heard the news for the first time, he was surprised, but he had to comfort a few words. It must be known that Ruan Mingye is already 25 years old this year, and he will be in for another three years...... This year, their eldest brother is 28 years old, and their sons are 4 years old.

Ruan Mingye could see it openly, and smiled faintly, "It's only three years, I can afford to wait." He changed his voice and asked, "Have you been to see Big Brother recently?" ”

Ruan Mingyu put down the teacup and said abruptly, "No." ”

It stands to reason that Ruan Mingfei lives in the mansion, and Ruan Mingyu has gone back to greet his parents and grandmother several times, and he should have met a long time ago. But when Ruan Mingyu went home these two days, it happened that Ruan Mingfei was not at home, and Ruan Mingyu was not good at facing his sister-in-law alone, so he never came to see him.

"I'm going to hold a laurel reception recently, and you're all busy, so it's rare to meet."

Ruan Mingye nodded understandingly, and seeing that the wine and food were ready, he first led him to the table and sat down, and served him with wine and food before saying, "I saw him a few days ago." Seeing that his face was very unsightly, it seemed to be ...... Something difficult. ”

Ruan Mingyu held the wine glass in his hand and paused, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

Ruan Mingye shook his head, "I asked him at the time, but he refused to say. But he had just come out of his father's study. I guess it's still a business thing. ”

"I don't know anything about business, but you're much better than me." He took a sip of wine, looked at his younger brother and said: "Although the Guigui wine will be about to be made now, it's just that as the saying goes, 'brothers in battle, father and son soldiers in battle', if you can help, just stretch out a hand." ”

Ruan Mingyu slowly drank the wine in the glass, put down the wine glass and said with a smile, "Where is the second brother?" If I can do it, I will do it. I'll go back to the mansion tonight. And my nephew Xiao Doudou, it's the time when the fun is tight, but I have to take advantage of this opportunity to bully for a while. ”

Ruan Mingye was relieved when he heard this, and laughed: "You are bullying Xiao Doudou now, aren't you afraid that when your son is born in the future, people will get it back!" ”

The two brothers laughed, and the meal was eaten and chatted until Shen Chu. Ruan Mingyu still had a drinking party at night, and said goodbye to his second brother, so he went straight to the next restaurant, Yunxian Restaurant, and decided to entertain at the right time.

He returned to his yard in the mansion, first changed out of his clothes full of alcohol, and saw that he could still say goodnight to his parents, so he took Ruan Shu to the courtyard of the main house.

The main room was still brightly lit, and even the lights came from my father's study. Ruan Mingyu was pondering whether to go to the study to see his father or his mother first, when he heard the sound of the porcelain cup falling to the ground and his father's angry reprimand in the study.

Ruan Mingyu turned his heels and went directly to Mrs. Ruan's room, and went to coax his mother first.

Mrs. Ruan has always loved this little son the most, Ruan Mingyu gave birth to a clever mouth, the most coaxing, a few words of laughter first made her mother happy, and then asked casually, "Who made my father so angry next door?" ”

"It's not your big brother yet. I heard that I messed up something a few days ago. Mrs. Ruan was removing her makeup and putting all the hairpin rings on the table, "I can't put it in balance for a long time, so I your father." ”

She watched Mi'er put the jewelry on the table into the makeup basket for her and put it neatly, and pinched his cheek with a smile, "Good son, I know that you have been working hard these days, go back and rest, don't touch your father's moldy head at this time." ”

Ruan Mingyu smiled obediently, "My mother still loves me, then you tell my father for me, I'll go back first." With that, he resigned from the main room.

He didn't go back to his yard, but found a suitable place under the porch and stood waiting for Ruan Ming to fly out. His obsidian-like eyes stared silently at the door of the study.

Ruan Mingfei is the eldest son in the family, and he helped Ruan Jinghong take care of his business in the Jingbao Pavilion very early, and he can be regarded as his father's right-hand man. However, Yuen Minh Yu is a genius in the business world, and after only two or three years of entering the shopping mall, he has made a great reputation in the industry and has become a dazzling new star.

Laymen envy the Ruan family's talents, but insiders are quietly watching the excitement: one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and the head of Jingbao Pavilion in the future is only afraid that he will have to experience a dragon fight.

Three years ago, Ruan Minh Yu left Beijing to open a branch in Minzhou alone. Many people speculated that Nguyen Minh Yu was exiled because of the failure of the struggle. But now that Ruan Mingyu has returned from making some achievements outside, people have begun to speculate that Ruan Mingfei is about to lose his position.

In fact, for Ruan Mingyu, the exodus of the year and the return of the present are due to the situation. Back then, he really didn't want to compete with his eldest brother in the capital, but chose to go out and open a branch.

This move seemed to outsiders to be excluded, but it was greatly appreciated by his father, "If you are in the capital, you will always be in my shadow, and no matter how great your achievements are, it depends on you and me." Now when you go out, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly. ”

Therefore, although even the second brother thought that he would have a grudge against Ruan Mingfei, he never had any resentment.

And now that he is back, he has been recognized by his father, and he will take over Jingbao Pavilion in the future, he also thinks that he won it by his own ability, without the slightest guilt towards his eldest brother.

Because of this, he can face Ruan Mingfei calmly. is also willing to lend a helping hand without hesitation when he is in trouble.

He waited for a full quarter of an hour, and finally saw Ruan Mingfei come out of the study dejectedly.

Ruan Mingyu turned out from under the porch, pretended to come out of his mother's room, greeted him, and smiled in surprise: "Big brother, what a coincidence." I had just come out of my mother's, and she blamed me for not being able to get together with my brothers after I had been back for so long. I'm thinking about sitting in your yard. ”

As Ruan Mingye said, Ruan Mingfei's complexion was very poor, his brows were drooping, and his back was slightly slumped. Seeing the third brother, he barely squeezed out a smile, "Yes, in the past few days since you came back, I didn't go over to see you as a big brother, it's really not the eldest brother." ”

"I know you're busy these days, now that we've seen you today, it's better to meet by chance, and go to my room to sit down." Ruan Mingyu said that, he took his eldest brother's arm and went to his yard.

Ruan Mingfei originally deserved to be reluctant, but in the end, it was just Ruan Mingyu's affection, and he was dragged into his yard.
