    Mr. Liu smiled and waved his hand to express that this was not necessary. Liu Qinshu then continued with a smile: "Achen, look at the gift I prepared for you." "Okay." With Mr. Liu's gift in mind, Chu Chen said:  Liu Qinshu's gift was also full of curiosity. When she opened the box, she saw a jade ornament inside.  The ornaments are made of Khotanese white jade seeds. They look warm, smooth, and flawless, and are spotless. They are of the highest quality. Based on this alone, the value of this piece of jade cannot be lowered.  Of course, good jade material also requires good carving. The jade article uses jade skin to skillfully carve red dates and longans, and the remaining parts are carved with peanuts and lotus seeds. These fruits look lifelike, if not for some differences in color and reality.  It's completely the same as the real thing, which shows the author's superb skills.  Generally speaking, Chinese people have a traditional custom of putting some red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds on the wedding bed (that is, "dates produce osmanthus"), which means "early", "birth", "noble" and "child". Through the homophonic picture  Good luck.  And this jade ornament obviously represents this meaning.  "Achen, I wish you a son soon!" Liu Qinshu said with a smile.  "Uh-huh!" Chu Chen coughed lightly and nodded seriously: "Definitely, definitely!" Seeing Chu Chen's serious look, Liu Qinshu smiled and joked a few more times. Chu Chen couldn't resist and could only hit him.  Haha, let¡¯s draw everyone¡¯s attention to the other Suanni statue.  After seeing this statue, Mr. Liu also felt it was a pity. The statue could still be played with, but wrong maintenance methods still caused some damage to it.  This made him curse "a waste of natural resources".  Next, everyone chatted for a while.  Then Chu Chen said goodbye and went back.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ On Saturday, the Chu Chen family except Chu Yongning, who was busy with official duties.  Others, including Uncle Wu and his family, came to Chu Chen's newly renovated courtyard house, preparing to decorate it to welcome tomorrow's guests and friends.  Chu Chen¡¯s courtyard house is located deep in an alley. In addition, the front door does not look very big, making it easy for first-time visitors to miss it.  But this kind of peripheral environment is just in line with Chu Chen¡¯s low-key style, and it also makes the entire courtyard very quiet.  Whenever night comes, except for the chirping of cicadas in summer, it is almost impossible to feel that you are in a modern city at this moment.  Don't say Chu Chen likes this kind of environment.  Zhao Heyan and others are also very satisfied with this. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In fact, to put it simply, this courtyard house only has a few houses, a bamboo forest, a vegetable patch, and a mini garden with a small lake and rockery From the Baifu screen at the entrance and the shelter hidden in it  Enter through the stone toad door pier at the back.  Passing through a few clumps of bamboo with fluttering shadows, and walking along the narrow corridor to the central courtyard, your eyes suddenly open up.  Two sky-high jujube trees, a few magnolias, and two weeping elms surround the tables and chairs under parasols, making it look idyllic.  And these are nothing.  When Chu Chen took everyone to the mini garden separated by a wall, everyone was deeply intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.  I saw that both sides of the corridor were filled with various cleverly matched flowers, plants and trees.  There are also pavilions and rockeries with unique shapes and ancient charm.  What is even more eye-catching is the lotus that occupies most of the area in the middle of the small lake.  About lotus.  There is a very vivid poem by Yang Wanli in the Song Dynasty: "After all, the scenery of West Lake in June is different from that of the four seasons. The lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red." Although there is no wind lotus in the Quyuan of West Lake, it is also  It has a unique charm. I saw these green and pink lotus flowers spread like a carpet in front of me. As a breeze blew by, they seemed to be swaying and dancing. At the same time, an elegant and profound fragrance floated in the air.  It makes people intoxicated.  Afterwards, Chu Chen took everyone to walk on the designer's unique Jiuqu Bridge, which immediately reminded them of the "Lotus Pond" written by Zhu Ziqing. The waters with lotus seemed to be covered with a blanket of green and pink flowers on the lake.  , and those lotus flowers are like hundreds of beautiful hibiscus fairies, dancing gracefully among the green leaves in the sky, so beautiful that it makes people enchanted.  After admiring the beautiful scenery, Chu Chen took the lingering crowd to visit various rooms in the courtyard.  The decoration here belongs to the neoclassical style. Some young elements are added to the classics, which makes it look energetic. However, because of the designer's ingenious design and the perfect combination with the theme of the courtyard, everyone is full of praise after seeing it.  Because there were too many rooms, everyone just walked around briefly, but even so, after visiting all the places, it was already noon.  The group of people came to the living room. Sister-in-law Ji served everyone tea first, and told everyone with a smile that they could eat soon.  As soon as she left, Chu Yulan pulled Wu Ke out and said she wanted to see what delicious food she had made today.  Uncle Wu looked around at the layout of the living room and asked with a smile: "Xiao Chen, your mahogany furniture is well designed, and the quality of the mahogany is also very good. Where did you get these items from?" Chu Chen smiled.  Said: "Senior Brother Yi's friend has opened a new furniture factory, specializing in making high-end furniture. He recommended it to me last time. I thought it was good, so I ordered a batch. If you want it, I will send them to you later.  I¡¯ll give you the factory¡¯s sample book. I¡¯ll let them make whatever you want.¡± Uncle Wu waved his hand and said, ¡°The furniture at home is sentimental, so it¡¯s no longer needed. I asked for it for Lao Zhao.¡±  He said clearly: "Oh, it's for the decoration of his son's new house, right?" Uncle Wu smiled and said: "Yes, he asked me the day before yesterday if there was any reliable high-end mahogany furniture factory. I am in the porcelain business, and I am in the furniture business.  I don¡¯t have much contact with him, so how could he know this?¡± Chu Chen nodded and said, ¡°I have to deal with the museum these days, so I can only ask you to bring him the booklet.¡± ¡°No problem, Uncle Zhao.  After doing business for so many years, don't you know a reliable mahogany furniture factory? "Zhao Xueyi is a veteran broker in the Beijing antique market, how come he doesn't know a mahogany furniture factory?"  Chu Chen thought this was a bit strange.  Uncle Wu replied: "How come I don't know him? The key is that someone doesn't let him buy it." "Don't let him buy it? Why?" Chu Chen was very surprised when he heard that this was the reason.  Uncle Wu said angrily: "Do you remember that Lao Zhao had his arm broken last year?" "Remember." Chu Chen said he knew, and then said strangely: "Isn't this matter already over? At that time  Uncle Zhao also found something for them that was better than the original one, and the price was 20% off. Isn¡¯t that enough?¡± Uncle Wu said, ¡°A few days ago, I met Lao Zhao.  I went to a friend who specializes in high-end mahogany furniture. I wanted to ask him how many pieces of mahogany furniture he wanted to buy, and he happened to meet Lin Laosan. Although Lao Zhao was a little embarrassed at the time, he greeted him politely. He said that Lao Lin  San didn't say anything at the time, but after he returned, his friend actually told him that the furniture could no longer be sold to him. What do you mean? " Chu Chen couldn't help but frowned when he heard that this was the case.  He frowned and asked: "Did Uncle Zhao ask what happened?" Uncle Wu sneered: "Of course I did. He said that Lin Laosan asked him not to sell it, and threatened him that if he sold it to Lao Zhao,  , his factory will not be opened, and Lin Laosan also told Lao Zhao¡¯s friends that Lao Zhao would not be able to buy any mahogany furniture. "This is too much!" Chu Chen heard this.  , I feel that this Lin Laosan is too arrogant. Of course, Lin Laosan¡¯s warning is also a big joke. Does he think he is the king of heaven?  "What's going on?" Zhao Yunlin asked quickly when she saw her son's face looking a little unhappy.  Afterwards, Chu Chen told his mother what happened.  After hearing what happened, Zhao Yunlin said with a look of disdain: "It turns out to be Lin Laosan. With his small belly, it is entirely possible to do this. However, what he did would be too disrespectful to our old Zhao family.  If you ask Zhao Xueyi to go to his friend to buy it, I don¡¯t see how Lin Laosan can stop it!¡± This matter was originally settled under Zhao Qirui¡¯s mediation, but now Lin Laosan is not giving Zhao Qirui face!  What's more, the relationship between the Lin family and the Zhao family is pretty good. Lin Laosan's actions, to be more serious, mean that the Lin family is preparing to part ways with the Zhao family. How could Zhao Yunlin not be angry?  "Okay, I'll call Uncle Zhao right away." After saying that, Chu Chen took out his mobile phone and called Zhao Xueyi.  "Xiaochen, is there something good going on?" Zhao Xueyi's laughter came from the mobile phone.  "It can be considered a good thing." Chu Chen chuckled, and then told Zhao Xueyi what happened.  When Zhao Xueyi heard that this was the case, he said with some shame: "This is really troublesome for you, but will this bring trouble to your family?" Chu Chen said: "Uncle Zhao, don't worry.  , This matter is not troublesome. Besides, he is not moral in the first place. How can he come to settle the matter after it has been settled? This is completely disrespectful to my uncle!" "Besides,  Please tell your friend that if this matter brings him any trouble or loss, I will be responsible for handling it.?.  " "Okay, I will definitely bring it.  " Zhao Xueyi quickly agreed. What Chu Chen said was completely providing an opportunity for his friend to hug him. Even if the trouble is big for a while, there will be no problem if he wants to come to his friend. "By the way, that friend of yours  How is your conduct?  " "He has a very good character, but this time he couldn't twist his thigh with his arm. I don't blame him.  And he came to my house with gifts afterwards and apologized to me.  " "That's good" Next, the two said a few more words, and finally Chu Chen asked him not to forget to come to his place tomorrow and hung up the phone.
