At Siyeju, Han Shuo was drawing drawings. He wanted to make a few more bracelets, and he gave Xu Ning a table and chair.

Xu Ning's home doesn't need it. After all, the decoration is not a style. Although Chinese-style furniture is indeed a representative of heavy and dignity, it will look nondescript in Xu Ning's home, and it is probably to be given to her grandfather.

It is difficult for Han Shuo to complete it alone, so he called his junior brother over.

"Brother, this tree is very old and very old!" Chu Fang circled the pinewood, "Where do you think Xu always got it from?"

"You know, it's hard for us to ask about this. Besides, she has money. If there is more money, she can't get anything!" Han Shuo replied indifferently, his eyes did not leave the drawing on the table.

"This is definitely not something you can get with a small amount of money. We also have some wealth in our hands. It's a pity that we can't find good materials."

"There are good materials, and we don't have our share!" Han Shuo was open to it.

He hadn't made such a large list for two or three years before, mainly because the wood was not in Han Shuo's eyes. At the beginning, he was used to seeing how many good materials with his master. Now how can a random piece of wood satisfy him? , This is also used to come out, there is no way.

Now that he has such a high-quality pineapple in his hand, he must use all his skills, otherwise it would be a sin.

In the eyes of laymen, this is ordinary wood, but in Han Shuo's eyes, it is definitely more precious than gold, and it is the source of his survival.

After the two brothers got together, they stayed directly in the craftsman's room. They could only come out when they were eating. They usually took two bites casually and continued to go busy. During the day and night, there was very little time to sleep.

The wives of the two families didn’t come over when they saw this. After all, after marrying each other for so many years, they knew what their husband’s virtues were. Seeing good wood, they are closer to each other than their children. Now that they don’t have a family, it must be. I have encountered good timber, and I will be back sooner or later when it's time to come back, so I can rest assured.

Others, such as the Eight Immortal Table or the Taishi Chair, must not be overnight, but the bracelets are not difficult for both of them.

They divided the wood once according to the drawings, and then used the leftovers to make bracelets. Not all the leftovers can be used. For the two of them, even the leftovers are good things and cannot be wasted.

When Xu Ning received the bracelet, there were six strings. Almost all of these bracelets were worn with one hand, and very few of them wore one pair.

Taking out one of the strings from the box, Xu Ning put it on Brother Zheng in front of Han Shuo, "raiser."

"very beautiful!"

"Of course, I don't look at who made it, and the wood is really extraordinary. Now I have to polish the six bracelets quickly, and the rest will have to wait at least a few months!"

"Can the remaining scraps still be played?" Xu Ning asked.

There are exactly six bracelets, one is for auction, and five are worn by my family.

"It's still not good at the moment. After finishing the big piece, we will see how much is left."

"Then you polish the rest, put it in your own shop, it is our friendship, of course, I will not be less costly for the handwork."

"That's really thanks to Mr. Xu." Han Shuo's expression was not at all polite. After all, he had known each other for almost 20 years, even if he rarely contacted him.

"I just said casually. Anyway, the remaining little wood is of no use to me, it's different to you, do whatever you like, and I'll give it to you!"

"Okay, then I will accept it unceremoniously!"

Sending away Han Shuo, the couple looked at these six bracelets in the living room.

Xie Zheng brought a string of 108 beads, which was wrapped around his wrist three times. Xu Ning himself also kept a string of the same as him. The three children had 12 large beads. Since Han Shuo did this, he must have been particular about it. Xu Ning was not interested in this, otherwise he would not let those trees grow in space regardless.

"Such a bunch of prices are not expensive, right?"

"Well, it costs tens of thousands of dollars in the auction. Generally, the bracelets in Han Shuo's store are about a few thousand dollars. Of course, the price depends on the material of pinewood. If it is good, the price will be higher. After all, it is a small piece! "Xu Ning raised her wrist and placed it under her nose, and a faint fragrance rushed into her nose and into the abdominal cavity. This fragrance was not strong, but it was very long and elegant. After all, it was something produced in space," he said. The skewers can be sold for about 10,000 yuan in the store. He said that the wood is good, and he has only seen it in his life, so he has a very high vision."

Put the identification certificate and bracelet in the box, Xu Ning and the two will go to Hong Kong City tomorrow, and they will not be at home this week.

Xie Zheng had called Xie Yang before so that they could go to Xu Rui's house this week. Then Xu Rui would send a driver to pick them up.

On Friday afternoon, the couple set off.

This charity auction dinner was set up in the resort village jointly developed by Diyi and Ningrui, and it was booked at the beginning of the year.

When the couple came to the airport, the organizer would send a car to pick them up. After they walked out of the airport, they saw a commercial vehicle parked there. When they saw them, a young man quickly stepped forward.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xie, I am the receptionist for this charity auction. Please get in this car for the two of you. Now I will send you two to the destination."

The other party showed their credentials, Xie Zheng and his wife handed the suitcase to each other, and the two reached the back seat of the car.

"Has Diyi's President Qin already arrived?" Xu Ning asked.

The one in the co-driver received it and smiled back and said, "Mr Qin has arrived at the resort at 2 o'clock in the afternoon."

After an hour of being small, the car drove into the main entrance of the rose vine of the resort. By this time, people in twos and threes could already be seen walking along here.

The car stopped in front of the independent villa prepared for Xie Zheng and his wife, and every room in the resort has professional service personnel. Here, service personnel are not allowed to accept tips from guests. Once discovered, they will be fired. Of course, their quality service is not without return, and the salary is very high.

After entering the room, a man in a white shirt and black vest came up and greeted the two with a smile.

"Mr. Xie, Mrs. Xie, good two, I am the two housekeepers who lived here, speaking of time, time, and language!"

"Hello!" The two greeted Shi Yan, and they were not surprised by this service item. Although the two of the resort villas have not been to live, Xu Ning still knows all aspects of management concepts, and they are also available on the Internet. A detailed introduction is made on the model of holiday villas.

Some reporters have settled here before to promote the villa. I heard that there are still many people who have saved money for a long time, just to be able to come here for their honeymoon when they are newly married.

Therefore, almost no matter how full the reservation is, the resort will always reserve two rooms, just for those newcomers who save money for their honeymoon, and also to cope with occasional emergencies.

In the morning, Xu Rui drove to pick up Xie Yang and the three people back home.

Xu Rui and his wife were naturally very happy for the three of them to be here for worship. When they received Xie Zheng's call last night, Xu Rui had already prepared meals for today's lunch in advance.

As soon as Little Lemon entered the house, she stepped forward and hugged Joey, "Auntie, we are back."

"I heard that your school used to be a sports meet. Aunt now has to take care of your brother. It is not convenient to go to crowded places. Did Xiao Lemon participate?"

"Of course, I participated in discus and shot put!" Little Lemon and Joey carefully talked about the interesting facts about her participation in the competition, and the two Xu Rui and his wife were enthusiastic about it.

"Look at our little lemon with thin arms and legs. It's really amazing to throw shots." Xu Rui joked.

"I'm not that great. I'm second to the last for shot puts. I can throw the discus. Anyway, I don't get anything. My brother plays basketball and tennis. Basketball is the first in their class, and he is the individual first in tennis. "Little Lemon said, and took out two certificates of honor from his schoolbag, "Look, it's my brother's."

Joey looked at Xie Yang's name written on it, read it several times happily, turned to look at Xie Huai, "Xie Huai, why are you not moving?"

"I was second in the long jump, and I got one in the 10,000-meter long run!" Xie Huai also took out the certificate of honor and handed it to her, "The one who participated in the long jump was 1.87 meters tall. I can't beat him."

"Oh, did you grow so tall when you were in junior high school?" Joey was slightly surprised.

"No, the tallest one in our school is 1.93 meters, but it may be too high, and the reaction is a little less sensitive, but he is very good at playing basketball."

Xie Yang knew who he was talking about, and smiled: "It's still called insensitive, it's almost better than me, and it's already very good than most of the other players. At the end of last year, he was selected to the youth academy."

Xie Huai was speechless, "So amazing, why are you still in school?"

"The youth training camp is not a professional basketball team. You have to go to training every week. It can be considered as a professional basketball reserve member."

Xu Rui brought some fruits from the kitchen and put them on the coffee table. "Xie Yang, don't you also play basketball very well? Didn't you get selected?"

"I'm going to a military university after the college entrance examination, and I don't plan to play basketball. I told you to train for a period of time and try, but I think I shouldn't waste time on both sides."

"Don't you like playing basketball?" Xu Rui asked.

"Yes, I also like football, tennis, baseball, rugby, etc. These sports are just a reason to relax, not to go this way." Xie Yang has already planned his future very well, and is following the steps. Just go.

Xu Rui admires Xie Yang's lifestyle very much. "It will take two hours to finish the meal. Let's go to the back for a fight?"

"Row!"

On Joey's side, put on a jacket for his son, buttoned a little hat on his head, and took him and Little Lemon to the basketball court at the back to watch the excitement.

"Xie Yang, your uncle is very good. Participating in college basketball games in the United States will always be the focus." Joey said while sitting on the swing chair next to him.

Xie Yang made an "ok" gesture at Joey, "I will take it very seriously."

"Come on, I am optimistic about you!" Joey gave him the same gesture back.

Xu Rui dressed in light gray sportswear, put on sneakers, rolled up his sleeves, and played 1vs2 street basketball with Xie Yang and Xie Huai.

Little Ian sat obediently on his mother's lap, with two little feet wearing woolen socks knitted by the old lady herself. The old lady is very good at this kind of socks. They are very comfortable and beautiful on their feet.

Looking at the basketball court in front of him with big round eyes, and seeing the bounce basketball, the little guy seemed to be uncontrollable, swinging along the trajectory of the basketball on his mother's lap.

Little Lemon's interest in basketball is average. Now that Ian is in front of him, this younger brother is naturally more attractive.

But looking at the little guy, he seems to be very interested in the sports ahead, "He might become a superstar on the court in the future."

Look at this bouncing up and down, and even breathing along with it, it really looks like that.

"If that's the case, it would be great. Regardless of football or basketball, it would be nice to grow up healthy and happy."

Coincidentally, Ian really took this path many years later and achieved extraordinary results.

"Ah!" Xu Rui made a three-pointer and Ian became even more excited on his mother's lap. He didn't know if he could understand it. Anyway, he just kept babbling.

"Auntie, my parents went to Hong Kong, why didn't you and uncle go there?" Little Lemon asked.

Joey looked at her with a smile, "Our family has all gone abroad to play. Your mother received an invitation letter before and called your uncle. If we two go there, she will not go there, but thinking about your father. Mother seldom has time to go out and take a look. Your uncle and I decide to stay at home, otherwise we will be sad if you have to live in school on rest days."

Usually at Xu Rui's house, they communicate in English all the way, which is not difficult for the three children. When they went to the UK last summer, the three children and the Duke of Wales family had no obstacles in communication.

The Duke of Wales and his wife like Xie Yang's three brothers and sisters. They get along well with the children of the eldest brother and the second brother. Especially the third brother likes the little lemon. I heard that this year's Spring Festival, the Duke of Wales family plans to come here. , Chinese New Year with the Xu family, the family will be even more lively by then.

Joey never knew that marrying a man would be so happy. When I thought of going to Xu's house at the first time, my grandma knew that she was a foreign daughter-in-law, so she had to learn English in her eighties, regardless of her age. , Memory loss, but learning enthusiasm looks more enthusiastic than young people, and now I can simply communicate with Joey in English.

Regarding family income and so on, Joey is not like some domestic wives, who has full control of her husband’s economic power, and she does not lack money in her hands. Even the annual profit of the shares of the Wells family is enough for her to splurge. Xu Rui is not the kind of man who spends his heart. Joey never worried about this. The money at home is usually stored in the bank card. How to spend, the two never compare this. Anyway, there is money in the card and who is spent. Is not the same.

Of course, Xu Rui also often buys some fun things for Joey, there are also beautiful clothes, jewelry and flowers are also very common.

Perhaps in the hearts of many men, after their wives are married, they don't have to care about those so-called festivals.

But Xu Rui doesn’t think so. The harmony of a family and the existence of his wife are very important. You don’t need to be extravagant. Sometimes you can buy her some exquisite but affordable gadgets, or buy a bunch of flowers, and buy a beautiful one. With clothes, your wife can respond to you with more love and tenderness, and life will be more passionate.

A little money can make your wife happy, so why bother about it.

Money is not saved.

Even if the family's conditions are limited, there is no extra money to make surprises.

So it’s not difficult for you to help your wife cook a meal when you get home, and help clean up the housework, right?

Marriage itself is not a bad thing, it just gets worse if you cross it.

The auction will start on Saturday afternoon, and all the auction fees will be donated to charity.

Of course, this type of auction is voluntary. You can come or not, and you will not be forced. The organization of this event is usually the president of the chamber of commerce. The chamber of commerce here planned to let Qin Zhao serve as the president. Qin Zhao resigned, and later said that he was asked to serve as the honorary chairman. Qin Zhao still resigned. He is very busy with his own work, and he has to leave his free time to his family. Where can I do this, even if he does not hold any position. In terms of charity, Qin Zhao will not fall behind.

However, many business people will take time to participate in this kind of activity. No matter what work they do, socializing is an essential part of it.

Not dealing with peers is tantamount to being complacent and suicidal in the business world.

In fact, the lot Xu Ning handed over was the least valuable, but it was only at the surface value. She didn’t believe that a bracelet made by pineapple that had been in her own space for so many years was really effective. nothing.

Vegetables that have grown up over a period of time can empty your body of trash. Is this pinewood bracelet really just the same as the outside pinewood bracelet? It's impossible to think.

But what are the specific benefits? Xu Ning really doesn't know at present, this one needs to be worn for a long time to feel it.

There are actually two special people who come here today, all dressed in a Hanfu style.

Xu Ning inadvertently saw the dresses of the two men, and looked at the clothes that were quite immortal, wondering if he would also do such a few sets of dresses for his husband. He likes morning exercises in the spring and autumn morning, and it is absolutely beautiful to wear.

The other party probably noticed Xu Ning's line of sight and followed him, but at that time Xu Ning had already turned his head and talked to Xie Zheng, without noticing the other party's appearance.

"Who is that?" a man in Hanfu who was about fifty years old asked his friend beside him.

"You are talking about the woman in purple cheongsam?"

"right!"

"She is Ms. Xu Ning, the president of Tysen Group. Next to her is her husband, Chief Xie of the Army Headquarters." The other party introduced him to him, and then asked, "Is there any problem?"

"No!" The man shook his head, "Both of them are the signs of good fortune!"

"This is not surprising!" The boss smiled, "Mr. Xu's grandfather and grandmother are still built, and Mr. Xie's grandparents are still in good health."

After all, he suddenly remembered something. Turning on the phone, he found Xu Ning's Weibo. The top one was still a picture of four old people gesturing with scissors hands after parachuting.

"These are the four old people in their family, they are all 400 years old together!"

These two are both people in the Feng Shui world. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Feng Shui is a feudal superstition and a dregs. However, in the business world and even in the entertainment industry, Feng Shui is highly sought after. Of course, other fields also believe in Feng Shui. man of.

The feng shui they talk about is not as magical as it is on TV or those feng shui novels, but simple faces, looking at homes and houses, etc. are all okay. The premise is that you have to find someone who is really capable, not The so-called quack.

As for catching ghosts, breaking Yin Sha, etc., it's not that illusory.

It's because Xu Ning didn't know, even if she knew she wouldn't believe it, even if she was born again, she wouldn't believe this.

But the old lady in her family believes in Feng Shui.

Popularly known as superstition!

"You such a worthy boss, you are actually carrying a bunch of pinewood bracelets? Aren't you afraid of being laughed out of your teeth?" Qin Zhao sat next to Xu Ning and was dumbfounded when he saw the auction manual. "Come on, talk to my brother. ,what are you thinking?"

"I am not an ordinary pinewood polished bracelet. Besides, this bracelet was made by Han Shuo himself. It has added value in itself!"

"Huh, really!" Qin Zhao carefully looked at the introduction of the bracelet, and it was indeed by Han Shuo, who is currently the leading master in the industry in China.

"Moreover, this pineapple tree is at least two thousand years old. What do you think of this string on my wrist?" Xu Ning handed Qin Zhao his hand.

Qin Zhao looked down at the bracelet on Xu Ning's wrist, and then said for a while: "Very good!"

"Cousin, do you really understand?" Xu Ning asked suspiciously.

"You treat me like you. I still have a little research on this aspect. After all, I have visited museums in this area before."

Xu Ning took off the hand and put it on Qin Zhao’s hand, “I’ll give this string to you, I’ll go back to Han Shuo and ask for a string, don’t take it off. People will be good for you."

Qin Zhao didn't refuse either. He glanced at Xie Zheng's wrist through Xu Ning. It was the same as his own. He couldn't help laughing, "You are not a pair with Xie Zheng? Is it suitable for me?"

"What's wrong with this? 108 beads were also auctioned. This is a triangle relationship!"

"Nonsense!" Qin Zhao poked Xu Ning's face with a smile.

The starting price of this bracelet is one thousand yuan, and Xu Ning's idea is that it is at most 50,000 yuan.

But who knows, when it came time for the auction, the price of the auction exceeded her expectations.

When the auctioneer introduced the bracelet, many people knew that Xu Ning sent the lot. Thinking about the development trend of Tysen, then look at the bracelet in the manual. How do you look at it and how shabby you can’t believe it? It was actually brought by Mr. Xu.

But face is still to be given. Although Xu Ning is in a women’s business, it is precisely because it is a woman’s business that his wife and others want to know Xu Ning, but don’t underestimate the influence of the business wives. It's not a joke.

Sometimes you want to seek cooperation with others, and the result is that your wife will say something by your husband’s pillow, and your cooperation will be stale.

Although business is not a trifle, are unexpected developments still rare?

It’s just that as the price rises to 30,000, there are only three or two bidders left. Although they want to save Xu Ning, they will not be taken advantage of. A bunch of bracelets is usually only a few thousand dollars in the store. , Of course, if it is more refined, it will be tens of thousands, but it can reach hundreds of thousands, then it is not ordinary refined. For example, each bead is carved with various animal scenery, Buddha, etc. Carving needs to spend constant time, and the value is naturally rising. The key is that this bracelet has nothing at all.

At an auction last year, there was a piece of pinewood furniture that was sold in eight figures. It is also a real hobby of collecting. There are naturally enthusiasts in this area, but you are too small, they are really Look down on.

In fact, the collection of such objects depends on luck, but in general it is still very valuable. After all, good woods are getting less and less, especially pineapple, red sandalwood, rosewood, chicken wings, etc., just because of the current demand It is not small, and the growth cycle is very long. Almost all of the existing rare woods are classified as rare wood species.

Nowadays, more and more people like Chinese decoration style, and wood is indispensable. If the rich and generous people decorate Chinese style, they must not be ordinary wood, so they can’t show their identity, so they always buy some rare wood to make furniture. .

In the end, this bracelet was auctioned away by the middle-aged man wearing an improved Hanfu. The bid price was 82,000 yuan, which completely exceeded Xu Ning's expectations.

This time I came here. Since it was for charity, Xu Ning would not really come up with a bracelet. After that, she took a fancy to a blood jade pendant in the auction manual, the Maitreya Buddha statue, and thought that it could be auctioned off and given to the old lady. After all, there is a saying that "men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha."

Looking at the picture, this blood jade is full of blood, and there are hardly too many messy lines. Moreover, the head of this blood jade Buddha is pure white. Only the clothes are red. One white and one red are beautiful.

Of course, the auction price is not cheap, showing how high the grade of this blood jade Buddha pendant is.

Xu Ning looked at the pictures on the Internet before and saw the safety clasps or rings of Xueyu. They are covered with veins like dense blood vessels. They may be really expensive, but Xu Ning looked a little uncomfortable and always felt a little bit oozing. .

However, the one on the bidding manual is not bad. Although there are patterns, it is not so dense.

This is a charity auction. The starting price will never be set too high. The starting price of this blood jade Buddha is 280,000!

In fact, there seems to be a lot of horrible stories about blood jade. The legend is that the blood has infiltrated the jade. In fact, the natural blood jade, only ordinary jade that is slowly penetrated by iron elements in the underground, is called red. Qin, many collectors call it Xueqin.

Xu Ning actually saw some novels about this aspect on the Diyi Literature website. At the time, they were very interesting, but they were only viewed as stories and would not be brought into reality. After all, they were all about 40. It's a multi-year-old person, and she's still the mother of three children, it's worth it if she can't distinguish between fiction and reality.

In the end, Xu Ning won the blood jade Buddha at a price of 2.4 million. Although the price is a bit expensive, I believe the old lady will like it.

After successive auctions, the auction will end at 5:30 in the afternoon, and then it will be time for the dinner.

"I thought you would go back and say hello to Mr. Xu!" the boss said to the man in Hanfu.

"What are you saying? The couple don't need people like me to talk." Many people say that people like them are feudal dregs and superstitions, but the ancestors have inherited two thousand years of geomantic omen, so there is no merit at all. ?

When he has nothing to do, he will also go online, read those novels about Feng Shui masters on the Internet, look at the abilities of Feng Shui masters in other novels, and then look at their own abilities in reality, if they can have the novels. Ability, he also recognizes the said superstitious, the key is that they are just ordinary faces, and then help look at the feng shui of homes and houses, these seem to reveal mystery, but in fact, there are things that can be explained in a scientific way. It's just you. Don't pay attention, we will help you to point it out.

Xu Ning's bracelet was photographed by him, and the blood jade, which he wanted before, but Xu Ning took a fancy, and the price is not low, he has this pinewood bracelet, the blood jade Buddha It doesn't matter whether it is or not.

"But you spend more than 80,000 yuan on this bracelet, don't you lose money?"

"No loss!" The other party smiled: "Don't look at it as a bracelet, but have you really read it carefully?"

After that, he raised one of the beads from the bracelet to someone, "Look at what animal this looks like?"

The boss looked at the light carefully, "Snake or dragon?"

"Tsk, of course it's a dragon, even if it's a snake, you have to tell me that it's a dragon."

"Well, that's the dragon."

The man just made a joke and continued to find a bead for his friends to observe, "The number 108, what is your first thought?"

"..." The boss opened his mouth, and before he could speak, he was blocked by the man.

"Don't tell me about the Water Margin."

The boss laughed suddenly, stretched out his finger and clicked on the other person, and said helplessly: "I just wanted to say, isn't it 36 ​​days and 72 places evil?"

"..." The man simply didn't want to pay attention to his friend, so he asked the young man around him, "Tell me."

"Uncle Sun, this is generally called a Buddhist bead bracelet. It has nothing to do with Buddhism and has nothing to do with our Tiangangdisha. It symbolizes the 108 troubles of the Ten Dharma Realms!"

"Look, you are not as good as my son!"

Boss Sun was stabbed with a knife by someone and immediately sternly said, "You poke my heart again, don't go to my house for dinner tomorrow."

"..." Threatening people, shameless.

After that, the man showed Boss Sun the other four beads, which seemed to see the heads of animals, such as a tortoise, a phoenix, a tiger, and an old man.

He was so surprised that he took it, and confirmed one side again. Although the beads were small, he could still get a vague outline if he looked carefully.

"Really, it's so amazing?"

"This is the magical craftsmanship of nature. The log of this bracelet must be the best pinewood. It is written in the manual. It is polished from the wood of a tree, and it is the handwriting of Master Han Shuo. It has nothing to do with manpower. It doesn’t have the kind of mystery that you think in your heart. Or it can be regarded as a kind of mystery. How can we see through the mystery of nature.” The man said, putting the bracelet on his son and continued. : "You know, my ancestors were in this line of business, and I believed in the nature of heaven and earth, and I did a little research on this aspect."

"But Master Han Shuo is also interesting!" The man added.

Boss Sun looked at his friend and saw that he didn't intend to explain, he didn't bother to ask, and led the people to the crowd.
