super rich

The interior of the villa is simple and elegant, with carved deep red sandalwood tables and chairs, simple and elegant crystal chandeliers, perhaps because of psychological reasons, and even the living room gives people a mysterious and solemn feeling.

Chen Mingyuan and Mu Jiayin, led by Qi Rongying, walked into the living room, and as soon as they were seated, someone offered tea.

Qu Lao went to the bathroom to wash up.

Mu Jiayin didn't have the slightest awareness of the guests. She walked around the living room and looked around. She had nothing to do, took the bird cage from the guard, and played with the magpies inside.

Just now outside, Chen Mingyuan didn't pay attention to look at the bird cage, now he took a few more glances, only to realize that it was a snow-white magpie!

The magpie seemed to like Mu Jiayin very much, and kept flapping its fan up and down in the cage. Its chirping sound was clear and sweet, adding a bit of life to the dull room.

Mu Jiayin noticed Chen Mingyuan's gaze, and said with a smile: "I met this little guy when I was playing in Shennongjia. He was injured at the time, and I treated it. I think this pure white variety is relatively rare, so I brought Yan Jing gave it to Qu Lao to relieve his boredom."

Chen Mingyuan said with a smile: "Then it is quite spiritual and knows how to be grateful."

"Who dares to say that it has no spirituality? In the past few years, I have given it delicious food and drink, but it always ignores me. When I see you, I will show you my love!" Qu Lao left suddenly When he came out, he wiped his hands with a towel, and stared at the bird cage, "This kind of dead bird, which is not cooked well, might as well be slaughtered and stewed tomorrow!"

The white magpie seemed to understand what he said, and squeaked sharply at Qu Lao as if protesting.

"Magpies are for good news, not for evil. If you are so angry, let alone a bird, how many people dare to get close to them." Mu Jiayin whistled a few times, then handed the bird cage back to the guard, and returned to the house. Sitting down on the sofa, he said, "Generally, most of the people who retire are self-cultivating. You have recuperated for so many years, why hasn't your temper improved at all?"

Qi Rongying was in a cold sweat immediately. The leaders of the rightful countries had to behave themselves when they saw Mr. Qu. As for those domineering and domineering children from the big courtyard, it would be good if they didn’t freak out. How many dare to run on Mr. Qu like this? Looking at Sijiu City, it is estimated that only the third miss of the Mu family has the qualifications.

Qu Lao didn't care. After sitting down, he sighed and said, "I want to completely unload the burden and take care of my life. I want to imitate you girl. When I get a whim, I travel around to see the great mountains and rivers of the motherland. It's a pity. , the world cannot be controlled..."

He took a sip from his teacup and said with a smile: "Your mother is also smart, knowing that this is a troubled time, so she simply ran back to her hometown in Suzhou to find something clean, and left me here to worry about it!"

Chen Mingyuan knew that Qu Lao was referring to the current special situation in Yanjing City.

There is only less than a year left before the re-election. The change of the old and new ruling teams, as well as the competition of several major political forces, have tightened the nerves of the people in the circle. Qu Lao and other state leaders are also inevitably involved.

As the top elder of the Republic, Elder Qu has to worry about far more affairs than most people. How to make choices and how to coordinate the contradictions and differences between all parties are all issues on the table!

It can be seen from this that one of the major functions of the Communist Party is to ensure the stable inheritance of the regime and keep the country's development on the predetermined track!

"It's hard for those who are capable. The more critical the period is, the more important it is to have a respected revolutionary veteran like you at the helm." Mu Jiayin flattered without losing the opportunity.

Elder Qu didn't like this at all, he snorted and said, "Tell me, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you suddenly come to me to play the autumn wind, what is your purpose?"

Mu Jiayin said angrily: "I don't know good people's hearts, and I don't know how many comrades I have hurt by making conspiracy theories like you."

"When others come to see me, I'm still being polite. You're full of conspiracy theories. If I don't pay attention, I'll be cheated by you and I'll have to give my life to you."

Qu Lao put the teacup aside and said, "It's about your family, you came to inquire with me?"

Mu Jiayin smiled without saying a word.

Elder Qu smiled silently: "Your mother really taught her a good daughter. She didn't show up herself, but instead sent you to scout the way."

"My mother is old and has worked hard all her life. She deserves to enjoy the happiness. As a child, it is natural to share more."

At any time, Mu Jiayin is always so eloquent: "Everyone is so familiar, I have been traveling all the way here, you should tell me what you want."

"If everyone learns from you, I will become a vegetable market!"

Qu Lao scolded in a deep voice, but did not refute her face. He tapped the handrail lightly with a few fingers, remained silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "We have been watching your second brother's situation in Lingnan Province. What did he do? Not too bad..."

Hearing 'not bad', Chen Mingyuan knew that Mr. Qu had acquiesced in the performance of Mu Jiayin's second brother Mu Dingyin in Lingnan Province, and it was almost a certainty that he would enter politics next.

Being able to enter the political bureau is equivalent to being shortlisted for the ranks of party and state leaders, and at Mu Dingyin's age, as long as there are no mistakes in the future, the future standing committee will be just around the corner!

Suddenly, Qu Lao changed the subject, frowned and said, "However, I still remind you, there are some things, don't go too far, if the fire really burns, it will be you who will suffer."

"Of course, our family still understands this rule."

"Your family naturally knows the rules, so it's hard for you to say."

Qu Lao said in a bad mood: "A while ago, Lao Qiu's house was messed up and a bunch of people were disturbed. You girl is really getting more and more capable. I'm afraid even your second brother and the others are not as good as you are." Your ability!"

Mu Jiayin said generously, "Thanks for the praise."

Qu Lao was also amused, waved his hand and said: "This is only one time, it's better to be sympathetic in everything, don't make the relationship too rigid, although Lao Qiu's selfishness is a bit serious, he has some reputation in the military circle anyway, I don't know how much my life will be lost if I still suffer from the uselessness of you, a junior, in my later years."

"As for your sister-in-law, she has the support of her mother's family behind her, and the army will definitely give her face. If she moves up, it shouldn't be a problem, so don't fan the flames."

"You've said that, I must sell my face." Mu Jiayin's eyes were full of smiles, "Then I have to trouble you about my family."

"Ghost spirit! I don't want to take any losses!"

Qu Lao pointed at her, paused, looked at Chen Mingyuan, nodded and said, "Your reason for coming is clear, what about this one?"

"Oh, he brought an object, and I would like you to identify it." Mu Jiayin winked at Chen Mingyuan, and said, "Mingyuan, Mr. Qu is best at studying antiques, show him the things."

Chen Mingyuan took out the brocade box she had handed to him just now, and opened it. It was a wooden sculpture of Pisces, the one the two of them picked up by playing a ring game when they were visiting the night market in Jinling last time!

Although surprised and confused, he took it out without changing his expression.

Qi Rongying took it and passed it to Elder Qu.

Elder Qu took the wood carving and looked at it carefully, then put his nose close to sniff, raised his white eyebrows lightly, and said: "Agarwood, maybe it has a history of more than a hundred years, it's very rare..."

Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but glanced at Mu Jiayin. No wonder Mu Jiayin was determined to win this woodcarving that time. It turned out that he had already seen some tricks!

As we all know, agarwood is a precious wood that can only be deposited for decades or even hundreds of years after the tree becomes fragrant due to disease. The value is called the treasure in the wood!

And it was such a top-quality piece of wood that Mu Jiayin used a few ferrules to pick it up, which was amazingly shrewd.

Qu Lao is an expert, he took the wood carving and rubbed it repeatedly a few times, he couldn't put it down, but when he saw Mu Jiayin's malicious smile, he put the wood carving aside and said: "Could it be that he wants to use this thing as a bribe?" Me?"

"If you want it, I'm still reluctant to give it!"

Mu Jiayin blurted out, and immediately felt that the reaction was a bit big, and she glanced at Chen Mingyuan guiltily, and said: "When I saw this thing, I remembered that you love agarwood the most, and I really wanted to give it to you directly, but he took the opportunity to give it to you." If I go, I can’t make the decision.”

"Since that's the case, I've identified them all, so I quickly take them back and put them away, and don't show them off in the future!"

Qu Lao blew his beard and stared at him, as if he was going to turn his face and drive people away.

Qi Rongying was expressionless on the sidelines, but she kept smiling wryly in her heart. Although agarwood is hard to come by, it is not too difficult for Qu Lao if he really wants it. As long as Qu Lao speaks out, a group of people will crowd the mountain Competing to send it over, even so, Mr. Qu may not be willing to accept it, and only because of the face of the third miss of the Mu family, he is willing to accept this favor.

But this time is good, Mr. Qu's heart is rarely moved, but he was poured cold water, there is no reason why he should not become angry from embarrassment.

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry." Mu Jiayin said slowly, "By the way, I heard that you suffered from spleen and stomach problems a while ago. Are you feeling better now?"

She glanced at the special care of the health bureau.

The nurse replied: "I have already seen the doctor. The main reason is that it is cold and the cold is invading. Old Qu's spleen and stomach are old diseases, so I can only take care of them slowly."

Judging from the worried face of the nurse, he knew that Qu Lao's spleen and stomach disease was not optimistic.

Qu Lao sighed: "It's all an old problem left over from the Great Revolution, and it will flare up from time to time, and I get used to it with pain."

Qi Rongying's nose was a little sore. Qu Lao was persecuted and sent to the farm for reform, but he was still unwilling to give in. In the winter, he ate hard steamed buns when he was hungry, and drank snow water when he was thirsty. As a result, his spleen and stomach were frozen. It is also getting bigger, according to the diagnosis of several authoritative experts, it is difficult to cure it, and I can only endure the suffering from time to time.

Mu Jiayin smiled sweetly and said, "Actually, we brought this piece of wood not only for you to appreciate, but also because agarwood has the effect of clearing the mind and regulating qi, warming the stomach and spleen, so we plan to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and temporarily put this wood carving in the By your side, I hope it can help your body, although I can't guarantee that it can be cured, but it will be of great benefit if you have something to smell."

"Mingyuan, is that what you mean?"

Meeting Mu Jiayin's smile of "successful trick", Chen Mingyuan's heart suddenly brightened.
