In the morning of the New Year’s Eve, Zhuang Rui came to the TV station for the last time, at this time Beijing has more and more New Year’s atmosphere.

Driving on the road, Zhuang Rui can see, a lot of people are wearing New Year’s Day only wear festive red silk jacket, although the weather is still cold, but into the eyes of the place, people’s faces are overflowing with happy smiles.

“Teacher Jin, good New Year, I’m wishing you a good morning.”

“Mr. Sun, good new year ……”

“Xiao Zhuang, Happy New Year, Happy New Year ……”

After entering the CCTV hall, the words that filled the ears were all sounds of New Year’s greetings.

Although the first day of the New Year is tomorrow, but the Chinese have a habit, the thirtieth year is the most important, look at those outside the busy year people, before the year desperately rushed home, is to thirty at home to eat a reunion dinner.

“By the way, Mr. Liu, some time ago in Panjiayuan, a person bought a fake Yongzheng year of the government-made Buddha this, do you know?”

Taking advantage of the time when the experts were seated and the hosts were vernacular outside, Zhuang Rui asked Liu Anan.

Liu Anan had not yet answered, Fatty Jin jacked in next to him, “Mr. Zhuang, are you talking about the small Zhao who sells literary houses and was set up?”

Seeing Zhuang Rui nodded, Fatty Jin smiled and said, “You really asked the right person, that matter Mr. Liu knows best, it is he who handled the appraisal.”

Fatty Jin also know Zhao boss, and also very familiar, he himself from the surname Aisin Gioro master of Chinese studies, learning calligraphy and calligraphy and painting appreciation, often go to “Shu Ya Zhai” there to buy ink, paper and inkstone, on this is also very clear.

“Well, this almost past 20 days, the Buddha burned casting quality, or good, some novice will easily be fooled, now fake under the set, really everything ah!”

Liu Anan said about this, also some feelings, but Zhuang Rui is put down the heart, because he is also afraid that this is not a set of son ah! In case that old Zhao to be because of other things to transfer the store, and so he took over and then cause other trouble how to do?

The morning of the program was quickly shot, several experts have received a gift bag, in addition to some of the above snacks gifts, Zhuang Rui see at the bottom, there is a big red red bag, must be the honorarium.

In fact, Zhuang Rui do not know, originally this CCTV treasure column, there is no expert funding this expenditure, but Zhuang Rui joined, and after so a thing, the director of the special approval of 300,000 yuan as the hiring of experts, each 50,000 yuan, Fatty Jin, they are still dipped in the light of Zhuang Rui.

“Congratulations and fortune, bring the red packet!”

After bidding farewell to several experts and hosts, Zhuang Rui just sat in the car, the cell phone ringtone that was reset by him rang.

“Hello, Boss Zhuang? I’m Zhao Hanxuan ……”

“It’s Boss Zhao, right? Oh, how is it, have you considered it yet?”

Although Zhuang Rui was unfamiliar with the name Zhao Hanxuan, but that voice was familiar, it was the very same Boss Zhao who was slaughtered as a fat sheep after being raised for two years under a trap.

“Boss Zhuang, call me Old Zhao! Can’t afford to be called that by you ……”

Zhao Hanxuan’s voice came from the phone, after a pause, then said, “Boss Zhuang, this thing I think well, as long as you agree to take over the Shu Ya Zhai, I will give you a year to do the sitting master ……”

Zhao Hanxuan at the end of the phone when he said this, face some bitterness, he is the old Beijing, and in this piece of the literary collection, is also quite famous, but do not think that people to the middle-aged step wrong, not only is the store did not have, but also to go to work for others.

However, the situation is aggressive, he is no way, after two days of consideration, finally made a decision, and before giving Zhuang Rui to make this phone call, he has notified all the debtors, in the first month of the fifteenth before, must return the borrowed money, otherwise, Zhao Hanxuan this year, this year, can not be over.

“Good, old Zhao, I’m waiting for your call!”

Zhuang Rui heard Zhao Hanxuan promised down, the heart is very happy, to be honest, Zhuang Rui for those stationery paraphernalia can earn how much money, not at all on the heart, he is thinking about their own from Burma to get that batch of jewelry, finally there is a place to get out of.

These days spare time, Zhuang Rui to get from Burma’s jewelry sorted out, a total of divided into several categories, a class of nephrite ornaments, to small ornaments mostly, jade material is superior, carving fine, and the age of quite a long time ago, mostly for the Xianfeng dynasty before the object, is the Ming dynasty there are also a lot of.

These completely called the antique jade, but can not be sold in accordance with the price of ordinary jade, this thing is an antique, Zhuang Rui rough estimate, only these ornaments pendant jade ornaments, its value will be more than 50 million, this is still Zhuang Rui put a few pieces of fine not calculated into the conclusion.

Some other things, are gemstones, there are Myanmar specialty rubies, and turquoise, agate ruyi and other objects, can also be categorized into antiques.

Then there are pearls, there is a string of 9mm to 10mm diameter between the best black pearls, can be said to be priceless, Zhuang Rui does not know why the black pearls produced in Polynesian Islands will be in Myanmar, but these black pearls are definitely not dyed, but the price is expensive and will only appear in the auction of natural black pearls.

This thing Zhuang Rui naturally won’t sell, with Qin Xuan Bing’s fair skin, if wearing this string of pearl necklace, it is definitely more beautiful and attractive, Zhuang Rui has already decided that it will be given to Qin Xuan Bing as a gift during the engagement.

“Hello, Boss Zhuang, are you listening?”

Zhuang Rui was thinking about his mind and was a bit lost in thought when Zhao Hanxuan’s voice came out from the phone.

“In, in.” Zhuang Rui hurriedly agreed.

“Boss Zhuang, your conditions I can promise, but I hope you can in the first month before the fifteenth, handle the transfer of Shu Ya Zhai formalities, you …… you know, I wait for this money to save my life!”

Zhao Hanxuan now also has nothing in mind, is thinking of first pay off the account, and then honestly give Zhuang Rui play a year of work, never mind how to say, monthly salary of 30,000 is not low, and so on a year later, they then think of a way to do something about the business of the stationery utensils.

“Oh, boss Zhao, you first put that store normal business! I will go over there before the third day of the Lunar New Year, when there are some specific things, I still have to ask for your opinion.”

Zhuang Rui smiled, his heart at this time there is something else to think about, but just a vague idea, but also carefully think about it, wait until the New Year’s temple fair, and then go to talk to Zhao Hanxuan it!

Back to the courtyard, the family is already a busy situation, Ouyang Jun and other people together in a room to play cards, small children are in the yard play, good in the yard is big enough, enough to toss them.

Ouyang Wan and Zhang Ma Li sister-in-law, as well as Zhuang Rui’s cousins, busy in the kitchen, steamed rice cakes, fried balls, fried scallops, potato chips, burnt leaves and other New Year’s Eve food, assigned to the old man’s chef, was Ouyang Wan to the vacation, the New Year’s Eve dinner is still their own hands to do the food fragrant.

A few small children from time to time to drill into the kitchen, touch a few pieces of good food and run, behind them came the sound of laughter and scolding of a few women, Jiang Ying and others are also from the era of material poverty, although the family has a nanny in the family over the years, but now it is also done with gusto.

As the night fell, the sound of firecrackers gradually rang outside, Zhuang Rui turned on all the lights in this courtyard, even on the wigwam in the courtyard, there were small colorful lights flickering, the whole mansion was illuminated in the night.

“Let’s have New Year’s Eve dinner!”

The little waifs in the courtyard shouted in unison, and under Ouyang Wan’s greeting, they swarmed into the dining room, their chattering voices filling the large room.

This time, the New Year’s Eve dinner was divided into five tables, the old man’s guards and Zhang Ma and the others, had two tables in the front yard, but in the dining room in the middle yard, there were three tables.

Because there were just too many people, just the female family members plus the small children, sat at a table, Zhuang Rui and Ouyang Jun several brothers and Zhao Guodong and others at a table, while Ouyang Gang and Ouyang Zhenwu and others, sat at a separate table, Zhuang Rui’s generation, only Ouyang Lei was listed among them.

“Zhuang Rui, come here, sit over here ……”

Ouyang Gang’s magnificent voice rang out, suddenly the room fell silent, everyone’s eyes looked towards Zhuang Rui, and the eyes of the two Ouyang Lu brothers were even more filled with envy.

To know, to be able to make it to that table, it was like being able to participate in the core things of the family, although Ouyang Long and Ouyang Lu had now made it to the hall level cadres, they still didn’t have the qualifications to make it to the table.

“Come over ah! Xiao Rui, the old man is trying to test you, to see how much you, the collector, know about the yearly things?”

Ouyang Zhenwu smiled and waved his hand at Zhuang Rui, also dispelling the doubts of those brothers, but Zhuang Rui was doubly favored by the old master, which was evident to all.

“Fire the cannon, eat!”

The old master waved his hand, Ouyang Lei’s son took a stick of incense, lit the ten thousand ringing earth red hanging on the tree in front of the restaurant, at once, “crackling” firecrackers sounded.

“New Year’s Eve, firecrackers …….”

In the deafening sound of firecrackers, in the bright light of the dazzling sparks, everyone’s face is full of joy, the children are even more excitedly screamed, so whoever is in charge of the children, it took a lot of effort to bring these few want to continue to firecrackers of the little guy into the dining room.

“Dad, mom, wish you two old man blessings like the East Sea life than South Mountain ……”

After the old man waved his hand to signal that everyone could start eating, Ouyang Zhenwu and Ouyang Wan’s several children, all stood up and toasted the old man and old lady.

“Grandparents, grandparents, I wish you both ……” Behind them, it was Ouyang Lei Zhuang Rui, the third generation, who lined up to pay their respects.

The last is the turn of those small children, hula on the ground sprawled a large area, after kowtowing, a swarm of climbed up, chattering and reaching out to ask the old man and old lady to ask for the New Year’s money.

“Good, all, all ……”

The old master and old lady smiled so much that their mouths couldn’t close together, taking the red envelopes prepared by their daughter, one by one, they handed them out to the hands of the little waifs.

“It’s a big year.” Zhuang Rui looked at this scene of the four generations together, a warmth flowed through his heart.
