Riding the wind of rebirth

"Cousin An An is to blame for this." Zhou Zhi began to shift the blame: "She insisted that I owed her a wedding gift. She had blackmailed me into giving Lin Wanqiu a string of southern red pearls. This time in the capital, she finally got it from Mrs. Wang. I got a set of Queen's Dongzhu and Chaozhu, and I thought to myself that the two sisters-in-law could just make a pair, wouldn't it be just right?"

"It turns out that cousin An An actually doesn't like it!"

"So she sent you to Northern Xinjiang? What can there be in Northern Xinjiang?" Grandma asked.

"Jade is produced in Northern Xinjiang. Are you going to buy elbows this time?" Following his father were Jiang Wu and Guan Dabin. Jiang Wu smiled and said: "The VIPs Director Liu said he gave you are all in vain, and the funds cannot be settled. It was gone again in the blink of an eye.”

"Brother Fei told you this, right?" Zhou Zhi smiled: "Didn't he tell you that Sister Liu charges a lot of fees from me for intermediary business?"

"Hahahaha, you are all a thousand-year-old fox, why are you singing Liaozhai?" Guan Dabin said with a smile.

"Dad, where are the clothes you bought?" Zhou Zhi asked his father again.

"Your dad didn't go to People's Mall at all!" Mom rolled her eyes and complained: "When I left the house, I went to Heheng Supermarket, or to the computer room! If I had known, I would have asked Shu Yi to go shopping with me, and I would have had a companion. !”

Shu Yi walks with you. You can't surprise me today, but you are shocked. Zhou Zhi thought in his heart and said: "This is my father's fault. Work is work, life is life. It seems that this is Party A's father." Don’t trust my plan!”

Everyone sat down again, and dad still pretended to be concerned and asked Zhou Zhi: "Did you go to Beijiang just to find a gift for your cousin?"

"They all have gifts." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I also brought dozens of kilograms of mutton back. We can add vegetables at noon today. Wait, I'll go get a few things."

After a while, Zhou Zhi placed several things on the table: "These two items were bought from the Three Gorges Cultural Preservation Charity Auction this time. This is the "Ming Tuo Zhang Menglong Stele", known as the "Wei Stele No. [-]". Previously It’s Qi Lao’s treasure, and my fourth cousin only practices Wei Bei now, so I gave him this rubbing as a gift, and he will definitely like it.”

""Zhang Menglong Monument"? Have you ever heard of it? Is there any difference between this Ming rubbing edition and the one sold in Xinhua Bookstore?"

"Uh..." Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment: "There are several rubbings of "Zhang Menglong Monument". This Ming Dynasty rubbing is the one with the clearest handwriting found so far. The ones in Xinhua Bookstore are the earliest ones that are photocopies of this one, and the later ones are A Qing rubbing, or a second copy of a photocopy of this one."

"Even if the handwriting on the original stele has been wiped out, Qi Lao's rubbing is the only one from the Ming Dynasty, so it is even more precious."

"That's right." Dad nodded: "Then your fourth cousin must like it."

"Well, as soon as I saw it at the auction, I felt that it should belong to my fourth cousin, so it is not considered a secret investment." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "This pair is Gobi colored stone, which can be used as a table screen. The theme is like It’s Helan Sunset, I’m going to give it to my godfather and godmother.”

"This gift is not bad. The key is that they are a couple." Mom turned the table and said, "It will scratch your godfather and godmother's itch! They are still picking up stones by the river when they have nothing to do!"

"This is the Duan inkstone of Ji Xiaolan, a great scholar in the Qing Dynasty. It was previously in the collection of Ma Ye, and it is considered rare. This is a natural agate I found in northern Xinjiang. It is just right for making an ink bed. I use these two myself."

"Eh? This is agate!" My mother liked the agate stone very much: "Why do I think the silk pattern here is similar to the pebbles you picked up by the Yangtze River?"

"The kind you can often pick up along the Yangtze River is actually agate, but people are more accustomed to calling that kind of agate Yuhua Stone."

Zhou Zhi has been picking up stones by the river since he was a child, but he is picky. Others pick up large Yangtze river stones with special textures, but Zhou Zhi likes to pick up small Yuhua stones with gem texture patterns. He has picked them up over the years. Half a bottle, put it in a glass bottle and keep it in water as a treasure.

"The agates on the Gobi Desert are very big, and there are a lot of them." Zhou Zhi said: "If I have time, I would also like to go to Alxa. There is a place there called the Agate Sea. There are stones like this all over the place. They are bigger than this." It’s even bigger!” “No one picked up such a beautiful stone?” Guan Tingting expressed disbelief.

"It's true that no one picked it up, there were just sheep and shepherds, and they didn't like that."

"Haha, I heard my comrades say this. There really is such a place. But you'd better not make that idea." Jiang Wu sneered.

Zhou Zhi asked: "Brother Wu, do you still know that place? Why can't you go?"

"Because it's still a weapons testing ground." Jiang Wu said with a smile: "Let's not talk about whether there is any danger in going in. You can't get close to it just because of the alert level."

"Forget it then, don't go no matter how many treasures you have!" Mom suddenly frowned: "Tingting, don't listen to your brother's crazy words, let's stop causing trouble to the country!"

Zhou Zhi actually just said it and had no intention of actually going. Good treasures are everywhere in this era: "This is Gobi weathered jade, which is much more precious than agate. It is topaz with good jade quality. I named it 'Tianma'" '."

"Why don't you give this to Brother Wu? It means flying high and flying high!"

"That's a good idea!" Jiang Wu said with a smile, "I'm just a little embarrassed..."

"Brother Wu has taken such good care of me and Shu Yi. Just saying this is a big deal." Zhou Zhi said, "Brother Wu and Sister Qi are about to move to a new home. They originally wanted to find a gift, but they never found the right one. This time I just happened to come across this thing, and I thought it was quite appropriate.”

"This yellow jade horse is quite beautiful." Jiang Wu also knows the difference: "The key is that it's natural. That's amazing."

"I'll discuss it with Qiqi and see if it should be placed at home or in my office." Jiang Wu obviously likes this jade horse and has already begun to think of putting it on display at the group headquarters because he is afraid of his wife. disagree.

Zhou Zhi is also a clever guy: "How about setting up the headquarters? If Xiao Xiao Wu is pulled down, it's a small matter if he falls, but it's a big deal if he gets hurt."

"Ah, yes, let's set up the headquarters first and wait until the child is older." Jiang Wu felt that Zhou Zhi was really smart. This reason should be used to deal with Tang Qi as much as possible.

"What about our family?" Guan Tingting asked, "We are also moving together with Sister Qi and Brother Wu."

"Oh, you kid, haven't you taken enough advantage of your elbow brother?" As soon as Guan Ma led Tang Qi and Chi Xuelia through the door, she heard Guan Tingting asking for gifts from Zhou Zhi, and couldn't help but express her darling daughter's character of not treating Zhou Zhi as an outsider. Feeling a little breathless: "The song he wrote for you is not considered a gift?"

"That really doesn't count, it's because I got the credit from Tingting." Zhou Zhi was so beautiful that she said, "I also have a share of the royalties from the song "Hometown". The more people who sing it in the future will listen to it, the more people will listen to it." Our income will be more and more. It is all thanks to our Tingting that this song has become so popular."

"Tingting still has a lot of room for improvement, so don't praise her too much." As Guan Tingting's mentor, Tang Qi couldn't stand it anymore and said with a smile: "It's really disappointing that "Brotherland" has become such a hit. Thinking about it, Xue Li was in a hurry to change the filming of the ending."

"Yeah," Chi Xueli also thought it was cool: "Even if it's an advertisement, it can't be played in a karaoke hall and there will be soy sauce bottles and vinegar bottles popping up in the end, right?"

Chi Xueli also didn't regard herself as an outsider, and directly spread her hands: "Should I also have a gift?"
