Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

Xie Ruyu hurriedly got up and tidied her clothes in a panic. The happy Xie Ruyu seemed to have suffered a great shame, her cheeks were red and her eyes were full of anger. No one had ever dared to disrespect her so much. your eyes!"

Before the words fell, a steady and deep voice came from not far away. The two turned their heads in the direction of the voice, and saw an old man in a black short jacket walking towards them. The old man had a white beard and a kind face , calmly said: "Ruyu, what are you arguing about? How many times have I told you to be soft-tempered, and softness can overcome rigidity. Please use to visit this site."

The voice was very deep and magnetic, as if it came from another time and space. Suddenly, Yang Wei was a little stunned when he heard the voice, but before Yang Wei could take a closer look, the old man turned around and entered the room after he finished speaking. Looking at the inner hall on the side, he didn't even look at Yang Wei, completely treating him as air.

I think this person is Maimaiti Aniwar, and he is indeed an extraordinary person at first glance, he is old but has piercing eyes, and he has a fairy-like demeanor.

The opportunity cannot be missed, and with today's farce, it will not be so easy to enter this mansion again in the future, Yang Wei rushed forward without saying a word, chasing after Maimaiti Aniwar Inner hall. [

In the brightly lit inner hall, Maimaiti Aniwal was praying devoutly, Yang Wei quickly stopped and retreated quietly. After waiting for a long time, Maimaiti finally got up from the room He came out, looked at Yang Wei with hale and hearty eyes, and Yang Wei quickly explained: "I, Yang Wei, came here after being introduced by Mr. Kurban from Hetian County."

Maimaiti didn't comment on this, and then set his eyes on Song Jiuwu who was not far away, and Song Jiuwu hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Old man, Jiuwu helped send this gentleman over, I heard it was with The old man has an old friend, and this old friend with the old man means that he has an old friend with me, Song Jiuwu, of course we need to help."

Maimaiti didn't speak, but slowly waved his hands twice, and suddenly saw the expression on Song Jiuwu's face became extremely embarrassing, Xie Ruyu snorted gleefully at the side and said, "How did you come in without letting you in?" go out."

Xie Ruyu's words were crisp and clear, and when matched with her sharp eyes, she had a kind of arrogance and determination that no one could resist. Song Jiuwu's face turned white and red. I knew that Miss Xie had a bad temper, but She never thought that someone who was old enough to be her father would be so mercilessly ridiculed.

Gritting his teeth, Song Jiuwu forced himself to swallow this breath, looked at Maimaiti with a stiff smile, still bowed to Maimaiti and said: "Then, Jiuwu's will take a step first. "

In Maimaiti's house, Xie Ruyu was obviously more domineering than when she was outside, but he didn't know what the relationship between her and Maimaiti was. Yang Wei remembered that when he went to Xie Ruyu's house to open stones, he found that Except for herself and a few servants, there are no other people in Xie Ruyu's mansion. Could it be that the gray-haired and bearded Maimaiti in front of you is Xie Ruyu's adoptive father?

When Yang Wei was puzzled, Maimaiti said softly: "Mr. Yang, please come here."

Under Xie Ruyu's astonished eyes, Yang Wei was taken into the side hall by Maimaiti. This kind of honor is not enjoyed by ordinary people. Indescribably proud.

The decoration of the side hall of Maimaitijia is very simple, but the set of Hainan huanghuali furniture is very valuable. Even in this era, it is by no means something that ordinary people can afford. Even Yang Wei can't bear it. He swallowed his saliva.

After the servant came to serve tea, he retreated silently. There were only Yang Wei and Maimaiti in the side hall. At this time, Maimaiti's expression was much more kind, and he chatted with Yang Wei about Khotan Read the full text of the Sanghu family's affairs in the county and Kurban.

Maimaiti said with emotion: "At that time, I was young and energetic, and I thought I had superior skills. I was dissatisfied with the remote mountains and remote areas of Khotan, and I wanted to go out to explore the world. gone."

Looking at the ravine-like wrinkles on Maimaiti's face, this old man seems to have a lot of regrets about life, under the dim light, Yang Wei's old voice made Yang Wei feel a little bit emotional, Couldn't help but nodded.

However, after meditating alone for a while, Maimaiti smiled and said: "Forget it, at my age, I know that people have come here in their whole life, but I didn't expect Kurban to leave so early. But it's also good, since there is God's calling, it might be a good thing to go away."

Yang Wei only downplayed Kurban's death, and did not mention the matter of Sheng Shicai and others. After all, there was not much time, so Yang Wei went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Yang came here this time because of the Khotan Jade Mine. Since Mr. Maimaiti is from Hetian, and he has had many business contacts with Mr. Kurban over the years, and he knows the situation of the jade mine in Hetian. Good craftsmanship is required, Yang believes that there are not many people in this world who can match Mr.

No matter what the situation is, it is always right to say something nice, but Maimaiti's face just softened a little, and he waved his hand and said: "Mr. Yang needs to understand a truth first, jade is not a business."

Speaking of this, Maimaiti seemed to have endless things to say, and said in a rare talkative way: "Not long after I came to Peiping, I got a Han name called Jie Wenru, and the word Wenru was taken from the gentle and elegant. Dacheng of Confucianism means that Confucianism is the essence of jade. It took me many years to realize this truth. Jade is more aura than people. If you treat it with your heart, it will definitely not fail you. Dealing with people is much simpler. But if you just treat it as a business, then you just ruin the quality that good things should have, and waste everything."

Yang Wei couldn't help but nodded along, what Maimaiti said was correct, and these heartfelt words were the truth that he had penetrated after dealing with jade for many years, without the precipitation of years, it is absolutely impossible to understand the mystery of it.

Maimaiti said while playing with a piece of jade pendant in his hand and said: "I didn't make anything again three years ago, do you know why? Because the world has changed, some monsters and ghosts have come to the territory of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and they have taken over it." This piece of land can't stop cutting down the roots of the Chinese people, but even so, there are quite a few things left by the ancestors back then, and if they cheated one piece away, one piece would be missing. Since you came from the Khotan Jade Mine, Then I know how many things are left over from thousands of years. Even if someone invites me to come out of the mountain these years, as long as it is something for foreigners, I will never do it against my conscience even if the price is sky-high. I have earned enough money. But money can’t buy peace of mind.”

Yang Wei frowned and pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "What you mean, Mr. Yang, although he doesn't say he knows everything, he still has a half-knowledge. But if you stop here and seal the mountain, what's the difference from closing the country? Mr. Maimaiti What I want is to chop off my own hands and keep the good things. Maybe this is the way I think at this age, maybe it’s because Yang is young and vigorous, but Yang only knows how to chop off other people’s hands, and chop off those who are trying to get them from Chinese hands. Hands grabbing things!" [

Hearing Yang Wei's words, Maimaiti was stunned for a moment. With the help of the dim light, Maimaiti found that Yang Wei looked extraordinary in front of him, and he was indeed not the people he usually saw eating and waiting to die. , Such aggressive and impassioned words made even this aging old man feel his blood boil.

Yang Wei's enthusiasm was out of control, and he raised his tone and continued: "When others come to commit crimes, it is impossible to retreat, and there will always be a way to retreat. Since there will be a battle sooner or later, why not fight with all your strength? To tell you the truth, Mr. Yang is a soldier, not a real businessman. The reason why he intervened in this jade business was to raise military expenses, and to deter foreign countries that all Chinese people hate, including you. People drive us out of our Chinese territory!"

Such words filled the eyes of the aged Maimaiti with passionate tears. He wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands carved with countless beautiful jade, and nodded heavily.

But before Maimaiti made a statement, Xie Ruyu leaning against the door still looked at Yang Wei indifferently and said, "I'll help you."--
