Chapter 16: Jade lock and black card

Views:

The attendant dared not say anything bad at all. It took him a lot of effort to get close to this young master Zhong. If young master Zhong left a bad impression and replaced him, then all these years of hard work would be in vain.

Furthermore, this Young Master Zhong came from a rather mysterious family. Even if he finally got the other party's attention recently and allowed him to be by his side, he still hasn't figured out the background of this family.

It's not that he doesn't want to find out, but that he doesn't dare.

Don't dare to talk too much, what you should know and what you shouldn't know, the master will tell you when you are happy, and don't be too smart to try to find out when you are unhappy and unconscious.

At the same time, he understood that this Young Master Zhong was different from those idiot rich second-generation young masters. He was a truly capable person who was not easy to express his emotions and anger.

They have been here for about a month, every week Young Master Zhong would come to Gu Yuezhai to chat with that eccentric old lady.

The real owner of Gu Yuezhai is obviously a very difficult old lady, who has never given Zhong Shao a good look so many times. Sometimes the attendant also felt that it was really unbearable, but his boss seemed calm and calm.

So the attendant was even more afraid to be careless. If a boss like this does something wrong there, I'm afraid he will have no good fruit to eat. But if you do it right, you will get more.

The attendant knew that Young Master Zhong must be interested in the old woman's granddaughter, because every time he left, he would sit in Zhang Qingrui's office for a while, without hiding his appreciation. But the girl doesn't seem to have much meaning.

Later, the attendant found some contacts in private and asked about Zhang Qingrui's situation. She knew that she was still a student at school, but she usually took care of affairs in Gu Yuezhai. I haven't heard of anyone being close to her so far. She should be single.

Then the attendant found a suitable time to tell Master Zhong about these things. The other party didn't blame me for being troublesome, but just nodded and said he understood. But Zhong Shao was obviously in a good mood that day, so he bought a jade plaque at an antique shop and gave it away.

The servant knew that he had made the right bet and did the right thing, so he became more concerned about Zhang Qingrui's affairs.

"I don't like your follower very much. It doesn't look like a person."

When he was thinking about whether he should have a good talk about the way of the young man who was invited by Miss Zhang, the attendant suddenly heard something that made his back shudder.

The damned old woman!

But the attendant didn't dare to refute anything at all. My boss behaved extremely gentle and pure in front of this vicious old woman. This old woman hated her, but at least it proved to be untouchable. So he looked at the floor afterwards and acted like he didn't hear it.

"The old lady doesn't like it, so let him wait outside." Zhong Shao smiled slightly, turned his head and said indifferently: "Cheng Yun, you wait outside first."

The follower... Cheng Yun didn't dare to be dissatisfied, nodded and walked out of the room silently.

This is the office of the real boss of Gu Yuezhai. Although the very modern house number of the chairman hangs on the outside, the decoration style inside the room is antique.

The screen is full, the wooden porch is bluestone slabs, and the palace chairs with mortise and tenon structure are placed by the window.

There is a bead curtain hanging in the entrance, a desk made of small red sandalwood inside, a pen holder and inkstone paperweights on the left, and a stack of ancient books on the right.

In a corner of the room there is a fake Fuxi-style Jiuxiaohuan Guqin. The body of the piano is clean, and it is obvious that it is not often placed or taken care of.

Watching Cheng Yun leave, Mrs. Zhang gently waved the Lingjuan fan in her hand, and said slowly: "The Zhong family's child is very patient, much better than your old man who has been eating gunpowder all day long."

"Old lady, grandfather has devoted himself to calligraphy and painting these years, and he has become much more peaceful." Zhong Shao replied.

Mrs. Zhang said: "Old lady, I have left the place of right and wrong in the capital decades ago. To put it bluntly, I want to tell the people there that I, Zhang Li Fanglan, don't want to meddle in their messy affairs, and I just want to spend my old age here peacefully. Ascending to the Three Treasures Hall, the old man of the Zhong family probably recalled a little love from the past by accident, so he let you, a descendant, come to visit."

The old lady looked at Young Master Zhong. Although her hair was white and her hair was white, her complexion was rosy, and she had a sense of oppression that was not angry but mighty, "I think you have learned the rules these days and are not frizzy. Old lady, I like the way young people behave like this." This kind of calmness, I will give you a chance to tell your story."

Zhong Shao took a deep breath, showing a hint of joy. The hard work these days was finally not in vain, so after some deliberation, he said softly: "Luo Chen once heard some secrets from an old man at home. It is said that there are all kinds of wonders in this world, and it is far from me and other mortals who can see clearly .”

He paused, and then said in a more steady voice: "I heard that there is such a place in the world that can fulfill any wish of a person... The younger generation doesn't know much, but the old man who told me also said, old lady The one who knows best."

The old lady Zhang suddenly sneered and said, "Huang Maoer really has a big tone, and he is even more reckless. Do you know that the place you are talking about is not a holy mountain and holy place, but a place to make deals with devils?"

Young Master Zhong was overjoyed, "The legend...it really is true. Madam, I know that place... I even went there."

As soon as the old lady Zhang waved the fan in her hand, she turned her face and said inhumanely: "Old lady, I am not feeling well today, you can go. Don't come here again in the future!"

Seeing the indifference of old lady Zhang, Zhong Luochen reached into his arms calmly, took out a kit from the inner pocket of his suit, opened it, and poured out the contents, "Old lady, Luochen knows that he really It's a bit rushed. But the time really doesn't allow Luochen to continue to slow down here. News came from home today... Luochen had no choice but to bump into the old lady."

What came out was a jade lock.

The eyes of the old lady Zhang changed slightly, she gently put the jade lock in her palm, rubbed it carefully, and finally sighed: "I left that place of right and wrong that year, but I couldn't bear to let go of the jade lock that I had been with since childhood." Sister Miserable, gave her this jade lock... Are you really planning to use up this favor?"

"Grandmother gave it to me before she died." Zhong Luochen said softly: "She said that if the Zhong family was in trouble, this is the only thing that can save my Zhong family. I didn't want to use it like this, if the old lady didn't treat that There is no deep taboo in the local area, and Luo Chen is really reluctant to take it out."

The old lady Zhang clasped her palms together, held the jade lock into her palms, took a deep breath and said, "You go back first. I have to think about this matter carefully, old lady."

Zhong Luochen nodded solemnly: "I hope the old lady can give Luochen an answer as soon as possible."

"You first tell me what it is for." Mrs. Zhang said humanely.

Zhong Luochen said: "To tell you the truth, it's about my grandfather. Madam, the old Zhong Tou who you know with an explosive temper, the doctor said that he is about to die."

There are so many things to see, all you see are good guys who are worth a lot of money.

Luo Qiu asked himself that he didn't know much about antiques, but he could still feel the simple and simple temperament revealed by the things placed here.

But he didn't see the white jade tablet that Ren Ziling was talking about here.

Knowing the purpose of Luo Qiu's arrival, Ren Ziling looked at Zhang Yurui and asked, "Miss Zhang, is there something missing here? I remember that when I came here for the filming last time, there seemed to be a few small things."

Zhang Qingrui smiled slightly and said, "Editor-in-chief is indeed a reporter. His eyesight and memory are really good. That's right, the collection room has indeed given away a few things."

She took out a picture album from the small shelf next to it and opened it, "It should be these few things. We sent these few things to the auction house and plan to auction them off."

Ren Ziling's eyes were sharp, but Luo Qiu's eyes were even sharper. At first glance, he saw the side of the white jade plaque printed on the album.

Because he was concerned about the white jade card, Luo Qiu directly reached out and took the album from Zhang Qingrui's hand.

This is probably very rude behavior. But Luo Qiu stared at the album and began to look carefully.

But Ren Ziling looked embarrassed!

She had no choice but to look at Zhang Qingrui apologetically and said: "My family Luo Qiu is usually like this, when he sees something he likes..."

Zhang Qingrui shook her head and said it doesn't matter, "We have printed a lot of this album, if you like it, you can take it back without any problem."

Luo Qiu nodded, obviously he really didn't intend to be polite, but he still maintained the bottom line of interpersonal communication... or remembered the bottom line in this regard, and added: "Thank you."

Now that he knew that the white jade tablet was no longer here, Luo Qiu had no intention of staying, and walked towards the door while looking at the album, seeing Ren Ziling looking helpless.

She basically skipped work today and used favors. This kid is good, he left immediately when he saw that the things were not there, and he simply didn't plan to leave any room.

Zhang Qingrui also felt a little embarrassed, but he had been well-trained since childhood, so he didn't plan to say anything right now... It was because of his classmates.

In the end, Ren Ziling couldn't take a look at it, so she directly pulled Luo Qiu's arm, and said with a fake smile: "Since you're here, let's take a good look."

She bit the word look very clearly, and the palm of Luo Qiu's arm was also very hard.

Luo Qiu had no choice but to glance at it casually, but suddenly frowned and walked towards a corner of the storage room.

"What is this?"

Luo Qiu pointed to the glass cover in the corner... a black card that he was so familiar with.

On the black card, there are two dark gold marks.

This is the club's correct voucher... and it is a voucher that can be used two more times.
