Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 16 Jade Lock and Black Card

The attendant dare not say bad at all.It took a lot of effort for him to get close to this Young Master Zhong. If Young Master Zhong left a bad impression and replaced him, then the hard work over the years would be in vain.

Besides, this young master Zhong came from a rather mysterious family. Even if he finally let the other party take him seriously and allow him to follow him around, he still hasn't figured out the background of this family.

It's not that he doesn't want to find out, it's that he doesn't dare.

Don't dare to talk too much, what you should know and what you shouldn't know, the master will tell you when he is happy, don't be too smart and try to find out when you are unhappy and unconscious.

At the same time, he understood that this young master Zhong was different from those second-generation rich masters.

They have been here for about a month. Every week, Young Master Zhong will come to Gu Yuezhai to chat with the eccentric old lady.

The real owner of Gu Yuezhai is obviously an old woman who is quite difficult to deal with, and has never given Zhong Shao a good look for so many times.Sometimes my followers feel really unbearable, but my boss seems calm and calm.

So the attendants are more and more afraid to be careless.If such a boss does something wrong there, he may not have good fruit to eat.But if you do it right, you will get more.

The attendant knew that Young Master Zhong must be interested in the granddaughter of the old woman, because every time he left, he would sit in Zhang Qinrui's office without concealing his appreciation.But the girl doesn't seem to have much meaning.

Later, the follower found some connections in private and asked about Zhang Qinrui's situation. She knew that she was still a student at school, but she usually took care of affairs in Gu Yuezhai. So far, I haven't heard of anyone having a good relationship with her. She should be single.

Then the attendant found a suitable time to tell Zhong Shao about these things.But Zhong Shao was obviously in a good mood that day, so he bought a jade plaque at the antique store and gave it as a gift.

The follower knew that his bet was right and he did it right, so he became more concerned about Zhang Qinrui's affairs.

"I don't like your follower very much. You don't look like a person."

While thinking about whether or not to have a good talk about the path of the descendant who was invited by Miss Zhang, the attendant suddenly heard something that made his back feel cold.

The damn old woman!
But the followers did not dare to refute anything at all.His boss was extremely gentle and pure in front of this vile old woman. The old woman hated it, but at least it proved to be untouchable.So he looked at the floor afterward, acting like he didn't hear it.

"The old lady doesn't like it, then let him wait outside." Zhong Shao smiled slightly, turned his head and said indifferently: "Chengyun, you wait outside first."

Attendant... Cheng Yun didn't dare to be dissatisfied at all, nodded and walked out of the room silently.

This is the office of the real boss of Gu Yuezhai. Although there is a very modern house number like the chairman of the board, the decoration style in the room is antique.

It is full of screens, with bluestone slabs on the wooden entrance, and there are palace chairs with a mortise and tenon structure, leaning against the window.

A bead curtain hangs on the porch, and there is a small red sandalwood desk inside, a pen holder and inkstone paperweight are placed on the left, and a stack of ancient books is on the right.

In a corner of the room, there is also a fake Fuxi-style jiuxiao ring with a guqin.

Watching Cheng Yun leave, Mrs. Zhang shook the Lingjuan fan in her hand and said slowly, "The Zhong family's child is very patient, much better than your old man who eats gunpowder all day."

"Old lady, my grandfather has been concentrating on painting and calligraphy over the years, and he has calmed down a lot." Zhong Shao replied.

Mrs. Zhang said: "My wife, I left the right and wrong place in the capital decades ago. To put it bluntly, I told the people there that I, Zhang Li Fanglan, don't want to interfere in their troubles, I just want to enjoy my old age here. But everything is fine. Climbing to the Three Treasures Palace, the old man of the Zhong family thought it was not by chance that he remembered a little affection back then, so he asked your descendant to come and visit."

The old lady looked at Zhong Shao. Although she was already gray and blue, her complexion was ruddy, and she had a sense of oppression that was not angry and mighty, "I think you understand the rules during this time, and you are not irritable. I like this young man. Kind of calm, giving you a chance to tell your story."

Zhong Shao took a deep breath, showing a hint of joy.The hard work over the past few days was finally in vain, so after thinking about it, he said softly: "Luochen once heard some secrets from the mouth of an old man at home. Saying that this world is full of wonders is far from me and other mortals can see clearly. ."

He paused for a while, then said in a more steady voice: "I heard that there is such a place in the world, it can fulfill any wish of a person... The younger generation doesn't know much, but the old man who told me also said, "Old lady, you The one who knows best."

The old lady Zhang suddenly sneered: "The yellow-haired child really has a big tone, and he doesn't know whether to live or die. Do you know that the place you are talking about is not a sacred mountain, but a place to make deals with the devil?"

Zhong Shao looked overjoyed, "The legend... It really is true. Madam, you know that place...even, have been there."

Madam Zhang waved the fan in her hand, turned her face and said, "I'm not feeling well today, old lady, go away. Don't come again in the future!"

Seeing Madam Zhang's coldness, Zhong Luochen calmly reached into his arms, took out a bag from the inner pocket of his suit, opened it, and poured out the contents, "Madam, Luochen knows that he is indeed It’s a bit of a rush. But the time does not allow Luochen to continue to slow down here. Today, there is news from home...Luochen has to ram the old lady.”

What came out was a jade lock.

Madam Zhang's eyes changed slightly, she gently placed the jade lock in the palm of her hand, rubbed it carefully, and finally sighed and said, "I left that place of right and wrong that year, but I was reluctant to let the one who had accompanied me since childhood. The bitter sister, gave her this jade lock... Are you really going to use this favor?"

"My grandmother gave it to me before she died." Zhong Luochen said softly: "If the Zhong family is in trouble, this is the only thing that can save my Zhong family. I didn't want to use it like this, if it wasn't for the old lady The local taboo is not deep, Luochen is really reluctant to take it out."

Old Madam Zhang clasped her palms together, held the jade lock in her palm, took a deep breath and said, "Go back first. I have to think about this, old lady."

Zhong Luochen nodded solemnly: "I hope the old lady can give Luochen an answer as soon as possible."

"You first talk about what it is for." Madam Zhang said.

Zhong Luochen said: "To be honest, it's about my grandfather. Madam, the old man you know with an explosive temper, the doctor said that he is about to die."

……

……

There is a dazzling array of things, and all you see are good guys of great value.

Luo Qiu asked himself that he didn't know much about antiques, but he could still feel the quaint temperament revealed by the things placed here.

But he didn't see the white jade card that Ren Ziling said here.

Knowing the purpose of Luo Qiu's arrival, Ren Ziling looked at Zhang Qinrui and asked, "Miss Zhang, is there something missing here? I remember the last time I came to shoot, there seemed to be a few small things left."

Zhang Qinrui smiled slightly and said, "The editor-in-chief Ren is indeed a reporter. His eyesight and memory are really good. That's right, the collection room did give away a few things."

She took out a picture album from the small shelf next to it and opened it, "It should be just these few things. We sent these things to the auction house and plan to auction them."

Ren Ziling's eyes were sharp, but Luo Qiu's eyes were even sharper. At first glance, he saw the side of the white jade card printed on the album.

Because he was concerned about this white jade card, Luo Qiu directly reached out and took the album from Zhang Qinrui's hand.

This is probably very rude behavior.It's just that Luo Qiu stared at the picture book and began to take a closer look.

But Ren Ziling looked embarrassed!
She had no choice but to look at Zhang Qinrui apologetically and say, "My Luo Qiu is always like this, when she sees something she likes..."

Zhang Qinrui shook his head and said it didn't matter, "We have printed a lot of this album. If you like it, you can take it back."

Luo Qiu nodded, obviously not intending to be polite, but he still maintained the bottom line of interpersonal communication...or remembered the bottom line in this regard, and added: "Thank you."

Now that he knew that the Baiyu card was no longer here, Luo Qiu had no intention of staying, and walked towards the door while looking at the album, looking at Ren Ziling with a helpless look.

She basically skipped work today and used human affection.It's better for this kid. As soon as the thing is gone, he leaves immediately, and he doesn't plan to stay in the slightest leeway.

Zhang Qinrui also felt a little embarrassed, but since he was a child, he didn't plan to say anything at the moment... It was for the sake of his classmates.

Ren Ziling couldn't see it in the end, she pulled Luo Qiu's arm directly, and said without a smile, "Since you're here, take a good look."

She bit the word "look" very clearly, and the palm of her hand holding Luo Qiu's arm was also very hard.

Luo Qiu was helpless, so he glanced at it casually, but suddenly frowned and walked towards the corner of the collection room.

"What is this?"

Luo Qiu pointed to something in the corner, covered with a glass cover... a black card that he could no longer be familiar with.

On the black card, there are two dark golden marks.

This is the club's credential...and one that can be used twice.
