Chapter 0954 – Accountability
“Hey, I said Brother Hu, Brother Gu, how did you two get together to drink tea?”
Zhuang Rui listened to his mother said Hu Rong in the courtyard stayed for two days, and Gu Yun this period of time is also every day to come, is to see Zhuang Rui came back no, today a home, see these two brothers are in their own courtyard under the big acacia tree drinking tea and chatting it!
Zhuang Rui this also has more than a year did not see Hu Rong, but Hu Rong emerald designer’s reputation in the international more and more loud, and two years ago, the new development of the emerald mine, in Burma is a rare rich mine, called Burma’s premier mining tycoon.
And Hu Rong’s jewelry design company, also opened dozens in Southeast Asia, the reputation of the loud abroad, and even in Zhuang Rui this North “Jade King” on top of the moment Hu Rong sat there, vaguely have a stock of master style, demeanor than more than two years ago more calm.
And Gu Yun has Zhuang Rui’s care, undertake a lot of state-owned and private museum repair work, his company also jumped to the domestic ancient building restoration of the leading enterprises, far from that year to do a little piecemeal work of the small company.
According to these two brothers are not idle, one in charge of the Myanmar Hu’s Chinese City, one is the company’s big boss, today together, no wonder Zhuang Rui is not strange.
As soon as Gu Yun saw Zhuang Rui, the boss look is gone, stood up and pulled Zhuang Rui, said with an anxious face: “I say Zhuang old brother, you are too busy! I’ve been looking for you for a week, no one answered the phone, and then can’t find you, but I can’t deliver ah!”
“Brother Gu, don’t be anxious! What’s wrong? Is the old man not well?”
After hearing the words of Gu Yun, Zhuang Rui was shocked, since the old man Gu retired, his body and spirit are not as good as before, this old man after seventy, it is not allowed to say which will go away, even if Zhuang Rui aura is good again, there is no way to snatch the person with the King of Hell.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui’s heart was in a big hurry, backhandedly grabbed and pulled Gu Yun, loudly asked, “Brother Gu, the old …… old man he …… what happened?”
In Zhuang Rui growing up on the road, the most to be grateful is two people, one is Zhonghai’s Uncle De, one is the old man Gu, these two are like children and nephews to him, teaching him the knowledge of antiques and jade identification from no private.
“Hey, hey, you kid is a little light ah! Pain me, my father can have what things, want you chant, hey, I say you kid is not in the curse of the old man it?”
Zhuang Rui lost his father when he was a child, in his heart, these two elders are like fathers, at the moment he is really anxious, grabbing Gu Yun’s hand a little hard, the pain of this buddy shouted loudly.
“Shit, then why didn’t you say it earlier, scared me.”
Zhuang Rui heard Gu Yun’s words before he let go of his hand, Gu Yun hurriedly looked at his wrist, but it was grabbed out by Zhuang Rui with a few fingerprints, it was evident that Zhuang Rui had exerted a lot of force at that time.
“I didn’t say anything either!” Gu Yun looked at the unwarranted damage on his wrist, crying and laughing, he brought up the previous topic, “What have you been doing all this time? Why can’t you get through on the phone?”
“These days are in the sea, in the salvage of a shipwreck, this is not …… just busy work is back!”
Because these days Zhuang Rui are buried in cleaning up the shipwreck artifacts, basically did not go back to the ship’s room to sleep, the phone is also off, so no matter who, this period of time can not find Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui finished turning his head to look at Hu Rong, said: “Hu big brother, you are here as if to the home! If things aren’t too urgent, let’s talk at night, shall we?”
Old man Gu grabbed his son and waited for himself for two days in a row, Zhuang Rui’s heart is also a little embarrassed, this from the family, the time to go to the old man’s place is much less than before, he is ready to take the two precious children, go to the old man’s place to sit down now.
“I’ve also admired the old man for a long time, Zhuang Rui, I’ll go with you to visit Mr. Gu!”
Hu Rong’s matter was not in a hurry, but when he heard Zhuang Rui say that he was going to Gu Tianfeng’s place, he instantly also got up the idea of going to pay a visit.
Hu Rong is an expert in jadeite jewelry design, for jadeite carving is also quite knowledgeable, can see the domestic is called “South Wu North Gu” jade carving master, of course, refused to let go of this opportunity.
“Success, then we will go together, you two wait for me.”
Zhuang Rui nodded, went to his mother’s room to greet her, and then found Fang Fang Yuan Yuan who was playing happily with the white lion in the backyard, and finally thought for a moment, and went down alone to his treasure room where there were not many objects left.
Zhuang Rui this is to think of the old man usually lonely, want to find a piece of material for him to play, this old man once completely idle down, the body of which the problem have come, not as much as a little thing to do, but on the body has the benefit.
“Take which piece of material ah?”
Due to the fundraising some time ago, sold a lot of Zhuang Rui collection of bright material, so now in the basement in addition to those gold bricks, the remaining jadeite material is not much, a total of only four pieces, none of them are rare treasures in the world.
Two pieces of fist-sized imperial green Ming material, a piece of glass seed material of the best blue Fei, there is that piece of chicken oil with a yellow luster like yellow Fei Ming material.
Although not yet polished, these pieces have been cut out by Zhuang Rui, showing different colors under the light, emitting glittering light.
If these several pieces of material appeared in the jade house, it would definitely set off an uproar, I’m afraid that its effect would also be on top of the sensation caused by Zhuang Rui’s successful salvage of the Song Dynasty shipwrecks in the antique world.
“Come on, you’re it.” After surveying for half a day, Zhuang Rui finally made a decision, and he cradled that piece of superb yellow Fei in his hand.
Imperial green and blue Fei are relatively good, necklace or bracelet can be made, but this piece of yellow Fei material, Zhuang Rui has not been thought to carve into what object, now he also do not have to worry about this, directly let the old man to ponder on the line.
“Zhuang Rui, hold what things ah?”
Seeing Zhuang Rui in addition to the daughter-in-law and children to lead, hand also holding a piece of cloth wrapped up objects, Gu Yun and Hu Rong are a little strange.
“Hehehe, you guys will know later, this is for the old man’s treatment.”
Zhuang Rui laughed, but refused to show the thing, but also carefully hide it under his driver’s seat, see the two people shook their heads, Hu Rong guessed a little bit of clues, Zhuang Rui should be a piece of jade material.
A few people drove two cars, parked at the alley of the courtyard where the old man Gu lived, and surged back and forth into the old man’s courtyard.
“Master, I’m here to see you, your body is getting stronger and stronger, right? I think you’d better go back to the association for another term as president.”
As soon as Zhuang Rui entered the courtyard door, he saw the old master trimming the flowers and plants there, although it was a hot day in August, but this courtyard was cooler than Zhuang Rui’s courtyard.
“Bastard, it’s been half a year since you’ve been here, right? You’re just talking poorly to the old man when you see him?”
After seeing Zhuang Rui, the old man’s face didn’t look too good, but as soon as he saw the two little ones walking behind him, he immediately revealed a smile, put down the scissors, and picked up the two dolls with one hand.
Although the two little ones haven’t been able to say a complete sentence, but their little mouths are especially sweet, a mouthful of a grandpa, shouting the old man’s face is full of smiles, and his eyebrows are wrinkled with deep lines.
“Biased, biased eyes, never seen him hug his grandchildren like this.”
Gu Yun muttered in a low voice from the side, hearing Zhuang Rui look at him with a contemptuous face, saying, “Your son is almost in middle school, is the old man still holding this?”
“Okay, Fang Fang Yuan Yuan and mom go play, don’t tire grandpa.”
Seeing the old man more than before, Zhuang Rui heart secretly blame themselves, this if often help the old man comb under the body, certainly will not be so.
After the old man put down Fang Fang Yuan Yuan, Zhuang Rui introduced him to Hu Rong to recognize, hear is a peer from Burma, the old man is very excited, a waved his hand and said: “small cloud, go and your daughter-in-law to prepare a few good dishes, I want to have a good drink with small Hu at night.”
Zhuang Rui heard the old master not mentioning himself, knowing that the old man is still angry with himself, and at that moment licked his face and smiled, “Hey, uncle, there’s still me!”
“Brat, you still remember your senior uncle! Come on, all go into the hall to talk!”
Gu Gu glanced at Zhuang Rui, but he didn’t want to slow down Hu Rong in the courtyard, so he let Zhuang Rui off the hook, only Gu Yun stood in the courtyard and was more stifled, how come his buddy only has a life of serving people and running errands?
“Elder, I’ve been overseas for a while, but as soon as I came back, I came to see you?”
Zhuang Rui into the house, on the very consciously boil up the water, send the old man’s own set of tea set open, the old man is old, is to coax a little, as the saying goes, the old boy!
“Zhuang Rui ah! Uncle is not angry with you, but this is your two years and museums, and overseas taobao, although they are doing the right thing, but the old man I ask, you are the director of the Jade Association, in fact, to fulfill the duties of how many ah?”
See Zhuang Rui this kind of good appearance, the old man is not angry, pause and then said: “I have a lifelong love of jade carving and appreciation, this carving craft has been inherited, but the appreciation is no one has my true heritage, but also you have some talent, but look at you in these two years, dipped in the side of the jade did not?”
Gu Tianfeng said emotionally a little excited, Zhuang Rui heard this understanding, dare to say that the old man this is to blame for their own not doing their jobs ah?
Think about what the old man said is also right, Zhuang Rui is by the jade home, but these years, the things done is away from the jade business is more and more far, no wonder the old man angry.
“Elder, this is my fault, I will pay more attention to the work of the Jade Association in the future.”
Zhuang Rui did feel a little guilty, to know, at that time, let Zhuang Rui into the Jade Association, but the old master Gu’s power to arrange for a single-handedly facilitated.
