The yard of this house is very large, with a length of about 15 meters in the east-west direction and nearly ten meters in length from north to south, which means that the total area of ​​the yard is nearly 150 square meters.

But there are several old-fashioned flower ponds in the yard, an old-fashioned well in the southeast corner, and a grape trellis in the southwest corner. Under the grape trellis, there are many flower pots. These things occupy a lot of area. There are 130 square meters at full cost.

Such a large yard is filled with rough jadeite stones, some big and some small, some are full of raw material, and some are half raw.

Shulong said: "I counted, there are 569 stones in this yard."

Pei Miao nodded, walked across the courtyard and entered the house.

When I entered the house, I saw that the walls of the house were all traces of the demolition of the decoration. The walls were mottled and looked like a long time ago. There were stones in the house, but nothing else.

After all, the main room is the main hub of the house. There are not many stones, and there are more than 300 stones in total, but there are more than [-] stones in the rooms on both sides.

The main house is in the shape of a "concave". The back door of the main room is opened, and there is a porch. On the left and right sides of the porch, there are two rooms. The windows of these two rooms face north, and they can only be used as guest rooms at most. The stones add up to nearly 300 yuan.

Next, Pei Miao went upstairs again, Shulong climbed the stairs and said, "There are some relatively small stones upstairs, after all, it is too troublesome to move big stones upstairs."

Pei Miao smiled and nodded: "That's how it should be, otherwise it would be stupid."

The upstairs is similar to the downstairs, and there are still four rooms. The total number of stones in these four rooms is more than 600. After careful calculation, there are more than 800 stones. The number is exactly the same, and one is not a lot.

Next, they went downstairs, Pei Miao opened the back door of the main room, and came to the extension room at the back.

This extension house is quite new, the walls are covered with tiles inside and out, it looks much more beautiful than the main house, after all, it was built later.

The east room of this extension house is the kitchen, the west room is the grocery room, and the middle is the dining room. There is also an old-fashioned pot and stove unique to the country in the kitchen.

Except for the wing room, this house is considered to be finished. Shulong said at this time: "I have seen the house and the stone, Pei Miao, I have to say, you are too anxious to buy this house, it is expensive, if you buy it It’s no problem for him to drop more than 100 million in a month or two.”

Pei Miao smiled lightly, "I can't help it, I'm in a hurry to use it."

Shulong said: "You can put the stones in the warehouse of your jewelry company."

Pei Miao shook her head and said, "I don't own the jewelry company alone. I'm just one of the shareholders. It's not good to occupy the company's resources in my own name."

Shulong sighed: "Well, fortunately, you have money now, so you don't care about the money."

Pei Miao suddenly said, "By the way, our antique shop...is the shop still rented?"

Tree Dragon nodded: "Yes."

Pei Miao said: "When you have time, talk to the landlord and buy the store directly. I will take care of the money matters."

Shulong heard the words and said thoughtfully: "To tell you the truth, in fact, I had such an idea a long time ago. Our business is so good now. Alas, I originally wanted to buy the two stores behind us. But you have been busy, I have no time to tell you, and now the opportunity has been missed."

Pei Miao asked suspiciously, "The two storefronts behind us?"

Shulong nodded: "Yeah, you don't know, our store door faces south, in fact, there are two stores back to back with us on the back of our store, it seems to be separated by two streets, and it takes four to five minutes to drive In fact, there are two walls separated by two walls, if we buy the two shops at the back and open the wall, our shop area can be doubled again.”

Pei Miao said, "Then buy it!"

Shulong raised his eyebrows and said, "I think so too, but... Zhao's Antiques took the lead. They bought those two shops last month and opened a new one."

"That's really a pity." Hearing this, Pei Miao couldn't help sighing that it was a pity.

At this time, Wang Xiaoshuai said: "Uncle, how long are we going to stay here, the musty smell of this old house is too strong, you have seen the stone, you have also seen the house, let's go quickly."

"Wait a little longer." Pei Miao thought for a while, and said, "Shu Long, you can hire someone tomorrow to transport all the half-assets from this house."

Shulong asked, "Where are you going?"

Pei Miao said: "Send it to my villa in Qixia District, and put it in the underground garage. My underground garage is very big, so it should be able to fit it."

Shulong made an OK gesture and said with a smile: "No problem."

Pei Miao said again: "In addition, buy two chainsaws and move them to the extension room at the back. After cutting the semi-finished materials, come here to cut the head materials."

Shulong made an OK gesture again: "No problem."

After finishing all this, they left the old house, and Pei Miao took his friends home, naturally to Fengshui Yaju in Qixia District.

In Fengshui Yaju, brothers Yao Wenlong and Yao Wenhu are hiding in their respective rooms, each with a computer, and the audio is turned on, playing games.

Ever since Pei Miao rescued them, they have been staying in Fengshui Yaju, going out only a handful of times, so they have become senior otakus. Sure enough, otakus have roughly the same hobbies, and now they are obsessed with electronics. game.

"Big! Zoom in! Damn!" Yao Wenlong yelled into the microphone in the room, "The people on the other side are all here, and they are all together. You just rush up and zoom in. Why are you hitting Xiaolong..."

Yao Wenhu said weakly: "The dragon is almost out of blood, I'm going to take down the little dragon first, and then beat them..."

"It's over, the highland in the middle road can't be kept..."

At this moment, Pei Miao walked into the house with her friends, and when she was still in the living room, she heard the voices of the Yao family brothers coming from their respective rooms.

Pei Miao ran over to see that these two guys were playing games.

Seeing that Pei Miao came back, Yao Wenlong and Yao Wenhu were overjoyed, so they hurriedly stood up and came over: "Brother Pei, are you finally back?"

They are obviously older than Pei Miao, but they are called Brother Pei Miao. It is a bit strange that the picture is true.

Pei Miao smiled and waved her hands: "You keep playing, it's immoral to abandon your teammates. I brought some friends back, and I'll chat with them first."

Yao Wenlong and Yao Wenhu were ordered to return to the computer to continue fighting.

Wang Xiaoshuai sat down on the sofa in the living room and said, "Uncle, why do you always like to buy houses in these remote places?"

Cao Xiaojin said: "He didn't buy this, it was given to him by my father."

Everyone was immediately curious and asked why Cao Xiaojin's father gave Pei Miao a house.

They chatted in the living room for a while, and Pei Miao found that there were no ingredients in the refrigerator, so she went shopping with everyone in the supermarket to buy ingredients. If you don't cook at home, it doesn't feel like home.

After buying the ingredients, I returned home to cook. After eating, it was already 1:[-] in the morning. It was so late, except for Cao Xiaojin and Shulong who wanted to go home, everyone else had to stay at Pei Miao's place for the night. Miao arranged a room for them.

Early the next morning, Pei Miao drove to Jubaozhai, just as the tree dragon opened the door, Pei Miao smiled mysteriously after entering, and said, "Let's go upstairs."

Seeing his expression, Shulong knew something good was going on, so Pidianpidian followed him upstairs.

The two went upstairs to the warehouse dedicated to valuable antiques. Pei Miao took out a golden piece of metal from his pocket, put it on the table, and said, "Look what it is."

Shulong took a closer look, covered his mouth immediately, looked at Pei Miao in shock, and said in disbelief, "Wu Zhao Jin Jian? Is it real or not?"

Pei Miao raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Look for yourself."

"Let me take a look." Shulong quickly put on his gloves, carefully picked up the golden slip, turned on the desk lamp, and took the golden slip under the lamp to watch. After watching for a while, he picked up the magnifying glass to carefully examine the details.

Shulong studied for nearly 10 minutes, and said in disbelief: "My level is limited, but... I can't see any signs of being old."

Pei Miao smiled lightly and said, "This is true."

"Oh my god..." Shulong was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Pei Miao said: "You put the Wuzhao Golden Slips into the exhibition cabinet on the first floor tonight, and the official exhibition will be held tomorrow. It will definitely shock the entire Jinling antique circle and attract many customers. I believe the Antique Bureau will come to you soon. , if the Antique Bureau comes to your door, just let them appraise it. If he persuades us to hand it over to the state, you can answer them, and it will definitely be handed over to the state. However, after a year, this thing will be placed in our store first The exhibition will be held for one year, and it will use its reputation to make a name for us."

"Okay, okay!" Shulong nodded repeatedly.

Pei Miao said: "I brought back three professional bodyguards from Gangzhou this time. I have hired them for a long time. From now on, I will let them stay in our store and be responsible for the security work in the store day and night."

"Is it reliable?" Shulong asked worriedly, "Our store is full of valuables. Once there is a ghost, the consequences will be very serious."

"Don't worry." Pei Miao said, "I have investigated these three people, and they are very reliable."

Shulong nodded: "Okay, since you said yes, then do as you said."

Pei Miao said: "By the way, tomorrow I'm going to attend the wedding banquet of a master of traditional Chinese painting. It seems impolite to go empty-handed. Is there any good painting in our shop? Give me one, and I'll take it there as a gift."

"Yes." Shulong opened the safe with a smile, first put Wu Zhao Jin Jian in it, then took out a scroll from the second floor of the safe, put it on the table, and slowly unfolded it.

This ancient painting is moderate in length, and it is actually a landscape painting by Zhang Daqian.

Pei Miao exclaimed, "Zhang Daqian's paintings! Can we actually receive such high-quality goods in our shop now?"

Shulong smiled and said: "My grandfather picked it up. Someone came to our store to sell this painting. My grandfather loved Zhang Daqian's painting the most. He could tell at a glance that it was an authentic work. The price was set by the seller himself, 800 million yuan." Just took it."

"Amazing." Pei Miao said in disbelief, "You've made a lot of money, you've made a lot of money, so you should reward your grandpa properly."

Shulong smiled and nodded: "According to the store's regulations, the net profit of this painting will be rewarded with 20%. My grandfather refuses to take it, but the regulations are the regulations. When the painting is sold, you must give it to him. Since you want to use If this painting is to be given as a gift, then I will pay him out of my own pocket to reward him, anyway, the fat and water will not flow to outsiders."

Pei Miao said: "Is the gift a gift, or do I have to pay for this painting? Didn't you say it, the rules are the rules, and brothers have to figure it out, right? How much is this painting?"

Shulong was not hypocritical, thought for a while, and said, "Give me 8000 million."

Pei Miao nodded: "Okay, no problem, but... I owe it first, I don't have any money for now."

Shulong asked in surprise, "You have no money? Where's your money?"

Pei Miao said: "It cost more than a billion yuan to buy stones, and I also invested several billion yuan in building a farm garden in my hometown."

Shulong exclaimed: "Damn, burn money faster than you spend money!"

Pei Miao smiled and said, "Investment has to cost money, I just have no money for the time being."

"I'm convinced." Shulong found a painting box, put the painting in it, tied a beautiful cable tie, handed it to Pei Miao, and said, "Who on earth is so good at a famous painting worth hundreds of millions as a wedding gift?" What a shame."

Pei Miao smiled and said, "I've said it all, I'm a master of traditional Chinese painting, I thought I'd told you before."

Shulong scratched his head: "I seem to have said, alas, the store is too busy recently, and my mind is a little confused."

"Okay." Pei Miao got up and said, "I'll go back first, and we'll talk about it another day."

Shulong also got up and sent him downstairs.

Pei Miao walked out of the store and drove back to Fengshui Yaju. Just after parking the car in the garage, she received a message on her mobile phone. She picked it up and saw that it was sent by Zhang Cheng. It was a location. The name of the location was Hyatt Hotel. Then, Zhang Cheng sent another message: "This is the venue of the wedding banquet tomorrow, have you returned to Jinling?"

Pei Miao got off the car while replying a message: "I arrived in Jinling last night, and I will definitely go tomorrow."

Zhang Cheng replied: "Okay, the meeting will start on time at 6:[-] pm tomorrow, try to come as early as possible."

Pei Miao replied with an ok expression.

Pei Miao went upstairs and came outside his room, only to see two brothers from the Yao family guarding the door of his room.

Pei Miao asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Yao Wenlong said, "I need you for something."

Pei Miao said: "Just call me if you have anything to do, go in and talk." While speaking, he opened the door and entered the room.

The three entered the room, Pei Miao brought them stools and told them to sit down, while she sat on the bed and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yao Wenlong lowered his voice and asked, "When are we going to Kunlun Mountain? Everything on your list has been prepared."

Pei Miao thought for a while, then sighed: "Maybe I have to push it back. I have encountered too many things recently, and I am a bit busy."

Yao Wenhu said depressedly: "My brother and I are staying at home so badly that we are about to die."

Pei Miao said: "Wait a little longer, play games if you have nothing to do, you guys are playing very well, you have already reached the gold division."

Yao Wenhu corrected: "My brother is the gold five, and I am the silver two."

Pei Miao smiled and said, "It's okay, work hard, you will get gold, go, go back and continue to score."

The Yao family brothers were dismissed just like that.

In the afternoon, Li Xueyang suddenly received a call that her grandfather was sick and hospitalized. When Li Xueyang heard the news, he panicked and left immediately.

Ming Jia also left Fengshui Yaju and went back to work in the company. Now, besides Pei Miao and the Yao family brothers, there are five people in Fengshui Yaju, namely Afa, Wang Xiaoshuai, Ye Xiangnan, Ye Lan, and Hou Lanhua. .

The next day, when Pei Miao went to Zhang Yanghe's wedding, Wang Xiaoshuai and Ye Xiangnan wanted to come along because they thought it would be interesting for an old man in his 70s to marry a wife in her early [-]s.

Arriving at the Hyatt Hotel, after parking the car, the three of them got out of the car. When they saw the hotel, Wang Xiaoshuai was disappointed and shouted: "What, the name of this hotel is quite nice, why is it so big?"

Ye Xiangnan also touched his nose, and said: "It's really too small, it's not much bigger than a small restaurant by the side of the road, uncle, are you sure the other party is a master of Chinese painting? Is it so petty to hold a wedding?"

Pei Miao rolled her eyes at them and said, "People like to keep a low profile, can't they?"

As soon as he got off the car, Zhang Yanghe, who had been standing at the door, walked towards this side quickly, and beamed when he met him, "Pei Miao, you are finally here."

Pei Miao shook hands with him with a smile, and looked at Zhang Yanghe by the way, only to see that Zhang Yanghe was wearing a Tang suit today, which suited him very well.

Pei Miao smiled while shaking hands, "Old He, congratulations, double happiness."

"Same joy, same joy." Zhang Yanghe grinned so much.

Ye Xiangnan and Wang Xiaoshuai got out of the car and saw the groom's tag on Zhang Yanghe's chest. They all stared at Zhang Yanghe. It was the first time for them to meet an old man in his 70s who married a wife. It was so novel and so novel.

At this time, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan drove over and stopped in the parking lot. The driver got out of the car and opened the back door. A handsome young man in a white suit came out of the back door. Seeing this young man, Pei Miao's heart ached. Suddenly jumping, there is a very strange feeling, this feeling is inexplicable, very strange.

After getting off the car, the young man came to Zhang Yanghe and greeted him with a smile: "Grandpa Zhang, I wish you a happy wedding."

"You are..." Zhang Yanghe looked at him suspiciously.

The young man smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa Zhang, don't you remember me? I'm Li Chufeng. Grandpa often brought me to your house when I was young."

"Ah, it's Chu Feng!" Zhang Yanghe suddenly laughed, "You have grown up so much. In a blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years, and now you have grown into such a big and handsome boy. It's so good, so good. Okay, by the way, where is your grandpa?"

Li Chufeng said: "Didn't my father tell you that grandpa passed away last month?"

"Ah?" Zhang Yanghe froze on the spot when he heard the words, and then asked with a look of grief on his face, "Why is it so sudden? No wonder I called your grandfather a few days ago. It was your father who answered the phone. I said this, but he just said that your grandpa is inconvenient..."

Zhang Yanghe was in tears as he talked.

Li Chufeng said: "Grandpa Zhang, don't be sad. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of life. Grandpa passed away peacefully without any regrets. Father didn't tell you the truth, probably because he was afraid of affecting your good mood when you were newly married. The younger generation is outspoken and thoughtless."

While wiping away his tears, Zhang Yanghe said: "My good boy, I asked you to comfort me instead. Come on, you all go upstairs, the Peony Hall on the left hand side on the second floor."

"Okay." After Li Chufeng finished speaking, she walked towards the hotel gate.

"Old He, we're going up too." Pei Miao greeted Zhang Yanghe and walked towards the hotel gate.

They were several meters away from Li Chufeng, Ye Xiangnan whispered, "It's actually this guy."

Pei Miao asked curiously, "Who is this Li Chufeng?"

Ye Xiangnan said: "People from the Li family in the devil's capital are not good people."

Wang Xiaoshuai said: "No way, three generations of Li Chufeng's family have a pretty good reputation in Shanghai."

Ye Xiangnan said: "Do you know what my grandfather's evaluation of Li Chufeng and his son is?"

Pei Miao immediately became interested when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "How does Master evaluate?"
